Caught red-handed trying to escape!

When Eight-Tails saw the deep hole in front of him, his face turned ashen.

He felt a sharp pain just looking at the huge hole in the ground.

The main reason is that he himself genuinely took several punches.

They practically pamper him like a grandson.

"Finally, that damn death countdown is over..."

As he spoke, he consciously shrunk his size.

Upon seeing this, Kanami said, "Not enough, keep shrinking it."

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! You—"

Just as the Eight-Tails Gyuki was about to fight back, a fist as big as his head appeared in front of him.

"Gulp."

He swallowed hard, but ultimately decided to shrink his size.

The main problem is that punches the size of a head, leaving bruises all over your body. Who could stand that?

It's not that I'm scared, it's just that this kid doesn't know his own strength. Yes, I'm not scared at all!

I was simply worried that if he hit me too hard, I would lose control and get serious, and that would hurt him.

Since he was so friendly to that Cat Demon Cat Demon, I can't really do anything about it.

I'll endure it!

As the Eight-Tails shrank, he tried to comfort himself.

It quickly shrank to only five or six meters tall.

Kanami was speechless.

"Keep shrinking, shrink until you're even shorter than me."

"Okay, okay, I got it. We're just taking a break, why are you rushing me!"

The Eight-Tails Gyuki remained stubbornly defiant, mainly because most of the pain had subsided.

Soon, his figure shrank, transforming into an octopus even smaller than Kanami.

It looks to be about a meter long, very small and cute.

Kanami nodded in satisfaction and dispelled the Wood Human Technique beneath him.

"That's more like it. Who are you trying to scare with that big height? This little guy looks much friendlier."

"Alright, now you can look at the scenery if you want, or see the light of day again if you want, it's up to you, but don't forget what I said."

After Kanami finished speaking, he left.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return home directly.

The Eight-Tails Gyuki was instantly dumbfounded.

???

"You just left like that?"

"Are you really just going to let me roam free?"

He didn't dare leave immediately, guessing that Kanami might be watching him from somewhere.

They're trying to trick me again!

Do you really think I'd fall for that?

Hmph, I'm not leaving. I'll wait until you come out and think I won't run away, then I'll run away!

Haha, gaining trust first and then taking the opportunity to escape, I'm truly a genius Tailed Beast!

That idiot Cat Demon would never have thought of all that!

The Eight-Tails Gyuki simply lay quietly in this area, finding a sunny spot to bask in the sun.

I refuse to believe you have more patience than me!

However, on the other side, Kanami had already returned home, opened the refrigerator, and taken out a bag of milk to drink.

He closed his eyes and activated his Mind's Eye of the Kagura to sense it.

"Um?"

He sensed that the Eight-Tails had not left, but remained in the same spot.

"He won't go even if we let him go have fun? Tailed Beast are really strange, I don't understand this Eight-Tails."

He simply stopped caring; he hadn't intended to care in the first place.

"A long nap after dinner, so satisfying."

Kanami lay down on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep.

As for the Eight-Tails...

He had already left the Flying Thunder God Mark on him, so he wasn't worried at all that the other party would escape.

As long as they don't just cross the border and leave in a day, he can find them easily.

After a long while, the Eight-Tails Gyuki suddenly opened its eyes.

He woke up.

"I actually fell asleep! I wasn't on guard at all!"

He quickly checked himself for any Sealing Jutsu.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they found out there was nothing there.

"Phew—what a relief!"

"But where's that Redhead? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

The Eight-Tails found it very strange. Logically speaking, after so much time, even if it was a test, shouldn't it have come out by now?

"..."

He pondered for a moment.

"Could it be that they really didn't monitor me and went back instead?"

The moment the idea crossed his mind, the Eight-Tails Gyuki shook his head in rejection, "How could there possibly be such a stupid Ninja!"

He didn't believe Kanami would be so kind.

If he really is such a good person, then what was the meaning of punching himself so many times just now?

In his view, the other party wanted to tame him.

"It seems that even the Matatabi were beaten into submission and tamed by that fist that was just as big!"

"Tsk tsk, those kinds of punches, no wonder she cooperated so well with that Redhead's act. If a punch like that landed on you, let alone her, even I... would have a hard time taking it."

He muttered to himself.

He then lingered in place for a while, testing the waters.

They soon discovered that Kanami was indeed not there.

Nobody's here!

"Really...! This Redhead is actually Ninja who keeps his word!"

"But I, Gyuki, never keep my word!"

The Eight-Tails Gyuki excitedly ran off in another direction.

"Farewell! We'll meet again someday! Pshaw! Meet again? Like an octopus leg! Never again!"

He randomly chose a direction based on his memory and started running!

"The Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning should be in this direction!"

On the other side, Kanami also slowly woke up.

He stretched and went to the bathroom to wash up quickly. "It's been so long since I've had such a comfortable and peaceful sleep."

After washing up, he activated his Mind's Eye of the Kagura and looked around.

"Um?"

Is he getting ready to go out and have fun now?

Kanami felt somewhat helpless.

Now that he's awake, he's preparing to bring it back, but it looks like the Eight-Tails just left.

"Hey, I gave you time, but you didn't go. Go now."

He shook his head, Flying Thunder God Technique was activated instantly.

The next second, it appeared next to the Eight-Tails.

"They were obedient enough not to revert to their original size."

Upon hearing Kanami's words, the Eight-Tails Gyuki was immediately startled, "What was that sound?!"

Am I hallucinating?!

"What hallucination? It's me."

Kanami came directly from behind him to the front.

The Eight-Tails' expression changed drastically upon seeing this. "Ah! What are you doing here! You... you..."

His heart tightened.

This is terrible!

This Redhead is too cautious and too patient!

They actually waited for me for so long!

It's only appeared now!

It was definitely a sting operation! They wanted to see if I would try to escape!

"Um, I didn't actually intend to run away... I just wanted to soak up some sun! Yes! The sun is warmer over there!"

"Eight-Tails," he said sheepishly.

Kanami:...

"Oh, then go sunbathe."

"But I have to go right away, so you'll have to come back soon. You can only stay in the sun for five minutes at most."

The Eight-Tails Gyuki was stunned for a moment.

He actually believed it?

He believed it!

"Okay, okay! Five minutes will be enough!"

He echoed Kanami's words.

The main problem is that he's now in a difficult situation.

He was caught just as he was about to escape... and for a moment he had no other good excuse.

Soon, he and Kanami arrived at the place he had mentioned to sunbathe.

After sunbathing for a short while, the sunlight shifted to another location...

The Eight-Tails Gyuki's face showed an embarrassed expression for a moment. "Haha... the weather isn't very good..."

You probably meant to say that the weather was uncooperative.

"Ah! Yes!! Your human proverb!"

"That's a proverb..."

"..."

The Gyuki was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't say anything..."
