Sitting down beside Jialuo, Uchiha Sora said irritably, "I don't care if you take money, but can you watch the way you talk?"
"We're not stray cats on the street anymore. You'll set a bad example for the kids."
Jialuo couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
"Have some shame, Kong. Who do you think I learned my way of talking from?"
Uchiha Sora fell silent for a while before saying slowly, "Jialuo, you can no longer keep up with me."
A flicker of loneliness passed over Jialuo's feline face, but he casually waved a paw.

"I want you to become a jinchuriki."
"A jinchuriki... like that kid with the dark circles under his eyes?"
"Yes. Your body isn't enough to bear a tailed beast's power. I'll first have Muzan transform you, then try to seal the Two-Tails inside you."
"I've calculated it... there's a sixty percent chance you'll die during the transformation. Even if you succeed, the chance of dying during the sealing process..."
"What the hell are you calculating, Kong?!"
Jialuo bit his cigar in half,
