One-Tail Jinchuriki
Temari glanced at Kankuro, Temari face turning cold.
Kankuro's face showed a kind of suppressed anger.
While Yang Xing wasn't paying attention, Temari pulled Kankuro aside.
Kankuro looked puzzled. "Temari, what are you doing? Why won't you let me say it?"
"Do you even know who this guy is? He's the one who sealed away the Five-Tails?"
Kankuro was completely baffled. "So?"
Temari, rubbing her forehead. "Are you really that stupid, or do you just not know anything? What happens to the host when Tailed Beast is forcibly extracted from their body?"
Hearing Temari's whisper, Kankuro recalled a rumor, "Will... will they die?"
"You only realized this now? How stupid! You'd better shut up and not say anything out of the ordinary. If he finds out that Gaara has One-Tail inside him, he'll definitely try to take it, and Gaara will die."
Kankuro nodded repeatedly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Um, doesn't he know Gaara has One-Tail?"
Temari, frowned, and nodded, muttering to herself, "Hmm, he must not know anything about us, that's why he came here. He's looking for us. Judging from his questions, he's definitely trying to steal One-Tail. This guy doesn't seem like a good person."
"Really? But the rumors in Konoha say he's not a bad person."
"What do you mean I'm not a bad person? It's rare that you don't believe me." Temari's expression was unpleasant.
Seeing Temari's unpleasant expression, Kankuro was momentarily speechless.
Just then, Yang Xing interjected, helping him out of the predicament.
"Gentlemen, I am a guest, is there anything you can't say in front of me?"
"No, no, we were just talking about the mission, haha." Temari turned her head and nudged the person next to her with her elbow as she spoke, "Right, Kankuro?"
"Mmm." Kankuro couldn't speak, but he could nod.
Yang Xing frowned slightly, but didn't ask any further questions.
Temari, as if relieved, asked with a smile, "Um, how long do you plan to stay here?"
"It's not decided yet. It could take a month, six months, or even several years." Yang Xing said thoughtfully, turning to glance at Temari expression had changed slightly. "You won't mind, will you?"
"No, I don't mind." Temari's expression was visibly stiff.
"Are we really going to stay for several years?" Kankuro stared blankly, muttering to himself, unable to contain his thoughts. "What about Gaara! Ah!"
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Temari and immediately silenced Kankuro.
"What did you just say?" Yang Xing felt something was off.
Temari smiled and said, "My brother always talks nonsense, just don't believe him."
"Yeah?"
"Really, really, please enjoy the room as you please. Actually, I just remembered something; our mission handover isn't complete yet. We'll come find you after we're done. You're welcome to look around."
By forcibly pulling Kankuro, Temari intended to find a place to teach this blockhead a lesson.
Temari and the others left.
Guren then became interested and moved closer to Yang Xing, asking with great interest, "Master, what exactly are we doing here? I don't get the feeling that Kazekage is a good person, and he looked at you with hostility when you didn't agree to his request."
Guren is very sensitive to all kinds of gazes and people's feelings.
"Hmm, and this girl Temari, she also seems to be hiding something. Is what Yang Xing is going to do related to what they are hiding?" Konan's mind was also quite quick.
Yang Xing glanced at the two girls, smiled, and couldn't help but grab their hands, saying, "Kazekage and those two guys are definitely trying to hide One-Tail."
"One-Tail?"
"Yes, the One-Tail Jinchuriki is in this house, he must be there. It's just a pity, I don't know where he is." Yang Xing murmured, looking around with a furrowed brow. "The house is big enough. A place where Jinchūriki is kept in solitary confinement can't be this simple. At least my Mangekyō doesn't detect anything."
"I understand. Master has come to subdue the One-Tail and also intends to use One-Tail as a summoning beast."
You guessed half right, but the other half was wrong.
"The other half?"
Yang Xing smiled and explained, "Yes, I did come to capture the One-Tail, but unfortunately, I never intended for it to become mine. I only came to help someone, to help him understand his own potential and his value as a Jinchūriki."
"Then let's hurry up and find that One-Tail?"
"No rush, no rush, let's rest for a few days first." Yang Xing yawned, his expression calm. "One-Tail has always been in the Land of Wind, he's always here, he won't run away."
Inside the basement.
In the dimly lit room, a little boy squatted on the ground, unusually not crying loudly. If someone looked closely, they would see that the boy's eyes were open, and the indifference in his eyes was something that a child his age should not have.
He squatted there quietly without saying a word. Time passed, and several hours went by, but the little boy remained motionless.
The little boy trembled slightly when the door was slightly opened and a figure appeared.
Yashamaru, carrying a plate of food, glanced at Gaara in front of him, sighed softly, walked over, and placed the food in front of the boy without saying a word.
Gaara looked up, his face filled with confusion. "Did I do something wrong?"
"It's not exactly a mistake, but there should have been a better way to handle those situations." Yashamaru stepped forward, squatted down, and spoke calmly.
"But they attacked first." Gaara lowered his head, his voice very weak.
Yashamaru couldn't help but reach out and place his hand on Gaara's head. "I know you didn't do that, it must have been the One-Tail that made you do it. But Gaara, the One-Tail is a part of you. If you can't accept it, if you can't completely suppress it, you won't get what you want."
"But it is indeed very powerful, very powerful. Every time I try to suppress it, it takes control of me."
"That requires your effort, and I believe you have the ability."
Gaara looked up and said softly, "Yashamaru, if I really lose control, will Father kill me?"
"This..." Yashamaru's expression changed slightly. He understood the Fourth Kazekage's personality very well. For the sake of the Land of Wind, the Kazekage had completely lost his identity as a father.
He couldn't guarantee that Gaara was safe in front of him.
As if sensing the strange look in Yashamaru's eyes, Gaara reached out and grabbed Yashamaru's arm. "Yashamaru, I don't want to die."
"I know, I won't let you die." Yashamaru trembled, stood up, and left the basement. As he closed the door, he glanced at Gaara, who was all alone, and frowned.
