Matatabi: Fine, I'm Not Human

Tsunade smiled when she heard Kanami say that.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood."

Kanami glanced at her. "So that's all you came here for?"

"Yes, then I'll head back. It's basically true that the Akatsuki Organization a full-scale hunt for the Tailed Beast."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned and left.

After he left, Kanami used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Hinata's side.

Hinata, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. "Kanami, was that Lady Tsunade just now?"

"Yes, did I disturb you?"

Kanami gently stroked a strand of hair on Hinata's face.

Hinata hadn't actually fallen asleep at all; she was worried about Kanami because Kanami wasn't sleeping.

Ever since Otsutsuki Toneri appeared, Kanami has been extra cautious, setting up many more Flying Thunder God Mark around the house.

In addition to Hanabi Hyuga, the Flying Thunder God Mark was also placed on her.

Previously, Kanami was unwilling to place the Flying Thunder God Mark on her.

Kanami said that this was very impolite, especially since the Flying Thunder God Mark would never disappear.

But now, due to the issue of Toneri, Kanami has no choice but to make a decision.

"No."

Hinata shook her head. "If you can't sleep peacefully, I... can't sleep either."

Kanami paused for a moment.

His gentle gaze fell on Hinata: "Don't worry about me, I feel at ease as long as you're here."

Just then, the door was opened.

Two-Tails Matatabi gracefully walked to the two of them with cat-like steps.

"Why don't you two sleep together? I can sense that Toneri's presence just the same way."

"Don't Matatabi, take a lunch break?"

Hinata spoke softly.

"I am a life form composed of Chakra bodies, so not sleeping will not harm my body."

He had developed a strong liking for Hinata after spending these past few days with Matatabi.

The other party always used polite language towards her, especially since she was Tailed Beast who had been defeated by Kanami and was essentially subdued. The fact that she could still use polite language made Hinata feel very good about herself.

On the other hand, she could sense a faint aura from Hinata that was similar to that of the Sage of Six Paths.

The sensation was very mild.

She deduced that this was the reason why Otsutsuki Hamura on the moon was searching for Hinata Hyuga.

"This is troublesome."

After saying something to Kanami Matatabi, he pulled Hinata down to lie down together.

Hinata slightly opened her mouth, and at the same time, she tried to get up.

Kanami immediately rolled over and put his arm around Hinata: "Matatabi has said so, let's get some sleep and not think about anything else."

He knew Hinata would feel embarrassed, so he forced her to turn off Hinata phone and go to sleep.

Hinata saw that Kanami was almost hugging her with half his body, so she didn't dare to move anymore.

She blushed and nodded slightly.

The Matatabi below didn't say anything more, and simply found a small tatami mat to lie down on.

Kanami thought for a moment and tossed the yellow rat-shaped Pikachu Soldier to Matatabi.

"Here, let him keep you company."

He grabbed the Matatabi, looking at the huge yellow doll, not knowing what to say.

Finally, he uttered two words: "Thank you."

In its normal state, the blue flames on her body are no different from her fur, except that they don't feel like cat fur to the touch.

On the bed, Kanami stared at Hinata's fair face.

He felt very peaceful and at peace.

If things could continue smoothly like this, wouldn't that be his life's goal?

As he gazed at her, Hinata's eyes trembled slightly, and she opened them a crack.

Kanami caught it instantly.

"What? Why are you open your eyes?"

He whispered in Hinata's ear.

Hinata smiled slightly, no longer squinting her eyes, but opening them wide to look at Kanami.

"Because I know you won't fall asleep easily; you always lie to me and tell me to go to sleep first!"

Hinata lowered her voice, feigning anger.

Kanami gently pinched her little face. "Sleep, let's sleep together this time."

"Okay, close your eyes, but don't open them again."

"Knew."

As soon as Kanami finished speaking, he closed his eyes first.

Hinata then closed her eyes as well.

After a few seconds, Kanami, with his eyes closed, asked softly, "You said someone I just met was willing to help me when I was in danger, but now she might be in danger herself. Should I go help her?"

"You should go, Kanami. You don't need to worry too much about me. I'm really worried that you're under too much stress and your health will collapse first."

Hinata, with her eyes closed, looked somewhat worried.

"Of course there are prerequisites. You have to make sure you can handle the danger she encounters, otherwise... otherwise I won't let you go."

At this point, Hinata opened her eyes and fixed her gaze on Kanami.

"You lost, Hinata."

Kanami's lips curved slightly into a smile.

"Ah..."

Hinata quickly closed her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she opened her eyes again. "Can you tell me what it is?"

Kanami nodded. "Okay."

He told Hinata everything about how he met Fu before, what happened later with Yugito Nii, and what Tsunade had told him about the Akatsuki Organization.

Hinata murmured softly, "So that's how it is."

"Whether it's to organize the Akatsuki Organization or to save our friends, we should go."

"Aren't you jealous?"

Hinata shook her head, paused for a moment, and then nodded.

"I can."

She slightly pursed her lips.

She initially thought she wouldn't, but it was clear she was jealous.

Kanami gently patted Hinata's lips. "Then I won't go. I'll stay home with my wife and sleep soundly with her."

"Ahem," the Matatabi, "Could you please show some respect for others? Don't forget I'm here to supervise your Toneri."

She is Cat Demon, and no matter how you classify her, she can only be classified as a feline.

She's not really interested in dog food.

You're not human.

Kanami continued to pucker Hinata's little mouth.

Matatabi:...

"Okay, I'm not human... but--"

"Kanami, stop teasing me..."

Hinata covered her mouth with her small hand, looking at Kanami with a deep gaze.

Kanami chuckled lightly, "Alright, I got it."

Matatabi:...

This means they're no longer listening to me. People have human rights, but don't I, a Tailed Beast, Tailed Beast rights too?

"Kanami, you should still go. Fu must have been under a lot of pressure to stand up for you that time. She probably really wants to make a hundred friends..."

Kanami nodded. "I agree with the last sentence."

He wanted to save Fu. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, no one in the Shinobi World could stop him unless it involved the Otsutsuki. Saving Fu should be quite easy.

However, if the target is Tailed Beast, even if you save it once, you will still encounter it many times later.

"Hinata, I've thought about it, and it's very troublesome. Even if I save her, she'll eventually have to go back to her village, and the Akatsuki Organization won't just target her once..."

Kanami sat up and leaned against the headboard, looking sullen.

He couldn't stay by Fu's side forever.

Hinata nodded slightly. "How about we go and wipe out the Akatsuki Organization...?"
