Opening Up

The Matatabi's calm words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking the Eight-Tails Gyuki squarely in the chest.

It left him breathless for a moment.

Although he was in the Consciousness Space, and since he was essentially just Chakra energy body, it didn't matter if he didn't breathe.

But it still made him feel a heavy weight in his chest.

"So, this cage has always been one that I myself have bound you with?"

He looked at his massive body and muttered to himself.

But soon, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes!

"No! What about you? You're different! You merely escaped from the bodies of the Yugito Nii, which is like escaping from one cage to another."

"All these words you're using are just to solidify my position, to make me see Killer B a cage, and now you're trying to increase my sense of identification and belonging!"

"Ridiculous! In the end, you betrayed yourself!"

The Gyuki, thinking he knew a lot, went on and on.

Two-Tails Matatabi's expression remained completely unchanged.

Therefore, since the other party didn't get anything right, she naturally didn't care.

"You're wrong, Gyuki. Do you think I'm just moving from one cage to another?"

"Isn't that right?"

"It was my own initiative to come to you this time. Otherwise, have you ever seen Ninja with two Tailed Beast inside them? With two Tailed Beast together, it's practically impossible for them to achieve a joint release with the Jinchuriki."

"Because without the oppressive environment of loneliness, the Tailed Beast won't willingly enter the cage and put on the collars."

"Then what are you doing here?"

The Gyuki retorted directly.

Matatabi, without haste, he continued, "Because he believes I won't do anything else."

"No," she thought for a moment, then rephrased, "He's very confident. He doesn't think I can do anything to hurt him. You could say he's the most confident Ninja I've ever met in the Shinobi World, and also the Ninja with the most charismatic personality."

"He has his own ideas, unlike those Walking Dead Ninja who are bound by complicated missions."

"He always pursues enjoyment, and as for why he's so obsessed with improving his abilities, I don't know why he does it; he just seems very busy."

"Hey, hey, hey!" The Eight-Tails Gyuki sensed something was wrong and hesitantly asked, "You Cat Demon, you haven't fallen for this Ninja outside, have you?"

"Fall in love? We Tailed Beast have no gender, so what's the point of love? It's just admiration, being different from others, like the Sage of Six Paths... no, that's not right, the old man of Six Paths and him, the feelings between the two are different."

Matatabi replied very seriously.

"But I truly believe in the confidence you speak of."

The Eight-Tails Gyuki nodded in agreement, showing no intention of refuting it.

After all, he had personally witnessed Kanami stating his desire to become the Sage of Six Paths.

They still wanted him to leave, using their own body without adding a seal, and to this day, the other party still hasn't reinforced the seal.

He simply used his own Adamantine Sealing Chains to Sealing his mobility.

Perhaps this is true self-confidence?

"If he weren't a Ninja, I really think he could have become the second Sage of Six Paths, but he's a Ninja, so it's basically impossible for him to become the Sage of Six Paths."

The Eight-Tails Gyuki muttered to itself.

"The Sage of Six Paths?" Matatabi was also taken aback.

She then smiled and said with relief, "This person is truly unique. If someone else said they wanted to become the Sage of Six Paths, I would definitely scoff, but if it's Kanami, perhaps it really is possible."

"Oh? You think the Sage of Six Paths can become one? You actually have that much trust in him?"

Gyuki didn't quite understand why Matatabi trusted a Ninja so much.

Moreover, this Ninja doesn't look very old, in fact, he looks quite young.

"It's not about trust. Once you spend more time with him, you'll understand. I'm not exaggerating at all. Right now, without the Sage of Six Paths, he's the most powerful person in the Shinobi World."

No one can hurt him.

"Nobody? You mean including that guy from before?"

"You're talking about Hashirama Senju, right? That man once captured all of our Tailed Beast single-handedly; he was indeed very powerful. But I can sense that if he were to face Kanami, the two would be evenly matched."

"Kanami 6, Hashirama Senju 4."

Matatabi said with great confidence.

The Eight-Tails Gyuki finally understood.

This Matatabi has become a complete fanboy of Kanami.

"That was Hashirama Senju. Ridiculous. I can't be bothered arguing with you about this. After all, Hashirama Senju is no longer here."

"That's true," Matatabi nodded.

The person is gone, so there's no point in arguing.

Unless they can be resurrected.

"So you came here just to show Kanami how amazing he is, and want me to get along with him and stay here for the rest of my life, right?"

The Eight-Tails Gyuki retorted.

"No," the traveler shook his head again, "You blockhead, I'm telling you, following Feng An is much more comfortable than Kirabi."

"You'll have many opportunities to go out, but of course, you have to listen to him and not do anything out of line."

"Tch, they're still bound by constraints. It's just that one thing is inside the belly and can't get out, and even if the other gets out, it can't do anything else."

"Oh, that reminds me of a term used among Ninja: ' Yard Time '."

The Gyuki held up one finger. "Isn't that just like being in prison, with timed breaks for Yard Time?"

"You must have been tamed by this kind of Yard Time mode, right?"

After Gyuki finished speaking, he stared at Matatabi's expression, trying to discern any change in it.

But still, no changes were observed.

The other person's face was as calm as still water, as if nothing could stir a ripple on it.

Matatabi calmly looked at Gyuki, "You're wrong. Kanami didn't restrain me, nor did he give me any so-called ' Yard Time.' He only asked me one thing: don't damage the village, and try to move around outside in a small form."

"So, since I left Yugito, I've basically never been inside anyone's body; I'm an independent Tailed Beast."

Upon hearing this, the Gyuki's face changed drastically. "How is this possible!"

"You're Tailed Beast! How could any Ninja just let us Tailed Beast roam freely? And not even care for you for so long? And the expectations they have for you are so low??"

"Isn't that something a normal Tailed Beast wouldn't do for no reason?"

The reason why Gyuki is considered a normal Tailed Beast is because there is indeed a Tailed Beast that is not quite normal and likes to cause destruction spontaneously.

That Tailed Beast is Shukaku, the One-Tails Shukaku.

That was a completely abnormal Tailed Beast; it deliberately tormented others for fun and then caused destruction.
