Shingen and Matatabi / The Friendship Between Konoha and Kumogakure Must Not Be Ruined

The craftsmanship of the Uzumaki Clan descendants was far superior to the Sealing Jutsu of Cloud Village. Since then, the Yugito Nii have never experienced what it felt like to use Chakra.

However, when Uchiha Shingen appeared in the empty underground prison, Yugito Nii recognized him immediately.

The underground prison in Hidden Leaf Prison, though called a prison, is actually a deep pit with a large bottom area of about 100 square meters. The walls are covered with densely packed Cursed Seal to sense any Chakra fluctuations.

The prison has an area of over 100 square meters, where prisoners eat, drink, and relieve themselves, and also has enough space to move around.

Ignoring the hostile gazes of the Yugito Nii, Uchiha Shingen jumped down and landed in front of Yugito Nii.

She quickly retreated a few steps, but judging from her movements, she was incredibly slow and unable to use any Chakra.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

Uchiha Shingen glanced at it and nodded.

"Perfect Jinchuriki, he's got some skills after all."

The Yugito Nii didn't look too good.

Uchiha Shingen ignored her and instead turned to the Aburame Clan ninja above him, saying, "Tell the Sealing Squad that they don't need to come for the sealing anymore starting today. This girl will soon be transferred back to Cloud Village. Just make sure she gets better food."

"Okay, Lord Shingen."

After responding, the Aburame Clan ninja left.

"Can I go back now?" The Yugito Nii were filled with anticipation, but they managed to control their expressions.

"I suppose so, but it won't be that quick," Uchiha Shingen said after a moment's thought. "After all, you actually sent a ninja leader to negotiate, which invalidates the documents."

"He has official documents, so he's a formal envoy." The Yugito Nii's expressions changed. "The village wants to form an alliance with you, right? Leaf Village should at least receive our people before making a decision."

Uchiha Shingen let out a cold laugh.

"You're a prisoner, yet you're thinking about so much. Alright, gather your clothes up."

The Yugito Nii were taken aback at first.

Then, disbelief.

"You're planning to rape me?"

"You're dreaming! With those two dumplings?" Uchiha Shingen looked at him with disdain. "Hurry up, I want the Two-Tails' Chakra. Consider it your rent."

His eyes turned crimson, Chakra chains appeared in his hands.

Chapter Sixteen: Shingen and the Matatabi

Two-Tails Matatabi is having a blast in Yugito Nii's sealed space.

It's actually a big cat that's easily satisfied.

According to human timekeeping methods, a few decades ago, it was still a free and unfettered big cat.

Actually, the Tailed Beasts back then were quite free; they could freely choose their preferred environment to lie down or cause trouble.

Basically, apart from a very few individual humans, there is nothing that can pose a threat to the Tailed Beasts. Moreover, Tailed Beasts can be resurrected. Even if they are defeated, they can become good Tailed Beasts again in a few years.

But decades ago, two animals emerged from this group of humans.

At first, things were fine, but then one day, Kurama, the most arrogant and boastful member of the Tailed Beasts Clan, was captured by a guy named Uchiha Madara.

Just treat it like walking a dog!

I heard it was dragged to fight another animal, and then the animal that was leading it got killed by the other side.

This is truly something to celebrate!

Until everyone discovered that the strongest humans seemed to have flipped a strange switch because of this.

First, One-Tail restless Shukaku was captured by a group of turban-wearing monsters in the desert.

Then, the strongest animal, who won the animal duel, arrived.

He captured the remaining seven one by one.

Fine, arrest me then, but before doing so, you have to say, "Sorry, friend, you're too strong; you have to be sealed away."

Let it think about it; this is how humans seem to curse...

Damn it! Did you hear me? Damn it!

The second animal is just walking the dog, but you, the first animal, are catching chicks!

How dare you say that!?

Well, since I can't resist, I might as well enjoy it. Teasing the vessel can be fun too.

However, Matatabi hasn't been able to contact Yugito Nii lately. It clearly sensed that the seal had strengthened. There was nothing it could do; after all, Yugito was an Uchiha Clan.

The Tailed Beasts have excellent memories; apart from the Sage of Six Paths, the Uchiha Clan ninjas are the ones who appear most frequently in their memories.

Every time it happened, it was a bad memory.

But since it's fine, then Yugito Nii is fine too.

So Matatabi wasn't worried at all. On the contrary, it, which always liked to play by itself, regained some rare peace and quiet and began to let loose.

Measuring time is difficult within the sealed space, but it's not a problem for the Tailed Beasts.

When bored, I sleep; when I wake up, I wander around. This is the happy time that Matatabi Two-Tails's alone.

Although it can't compare to reality, I'm still very happy.

After waking up again, Two-Tails jumped around as Matatabi, just wondering if it should breathe fire for fun, when it suddenly saw a person appear in the sealed space.

"Yugito Nii?" He shook his big head, Matatabi to see who it was.

Meow!

It's that Uchiha Clan!

"Yo!" Uchiha Shingen waved to the large cat in front of him. "You're the Matatabi, right?"

Matatabi, walked a few steps around Uchiha Shingen, and had the characteristics of a real feline, with his hind paws always pressing down on his front paws, and each footprint was perfectly aligned.

It possesses a calm, composed, and aloof quality.

To put it simply, it really is like a big cat.

However, this large cat was covered in blue Chakra flames.

Uchiha Shingen really liked this kind of aura.

He doesn't like noisy things; the Nine-Tails is very noisy.

Want to go out? Matatabi.

"You're Uchiha Clan, I don't trust you," Matatabi said. "Can I leave? I prefer peace and quiet."

Even though they had issued an order to leave, the Matatabi's voice remained gentle.

"Yeah, who wouldn't like it?" Uchiha Shingen was starting to like this Tailed Beasts.

So he changed his mind.

"Could you give me some of your Chakra? I'll return it to you."

"My Chakra?" Matatabi asked, puzzled.

This was its first direct contact with this Uchiha Clan. Unlike when it fought alongside Yugito Nii, this Uchiha Clan didn't have that aggressive aura, and the feeling it gave was different from other Uchiha Clan.

It sensed absolutely no malice from this person, something the Tailed Beasts are extremely sensitive to.

"Indeed, sealing you inside a human body is a cruel thing. I would like to invite you to be my partner."

"???" Matatabi tilted his head, and after a long while, he understood what Uchiha Shingen meant.

"Do you want to enslave me? Like you Uchiha Clan did to Nine-Tails?"

"Why enslave? Others are others, and I am me. You nine are all Tailed Beasts, but each of you is unique, aren't you? Humans are the same. Even if you have the same bloodline, your thoughts are completely different," Uchiha Shingen said. "Even though our life forms are different, we are all the same kind because we can think and have our own views on the world. This is the biggest difference between us and ordinary animals."

"You Uchiha Clan are quite strange." Matatabi doesn't easily trust people; he's elegant, but also lonely and aloof. "But I don't need companions."

"You will need it, because in this era, no one can remain unscathed. Otherwise, why would the Tailed Beasts lose their freedom?" Uchiha Shingen said. "My clan has a large territory. Once you are free, I will come to find you and invite you to live there. If anyone wants to harm you, they will have to get past the Uchiha Clan first."

"You just said you two are different."

"Although we are different, I can represent the Uchiha Clan and become your allies, friends and acquaintances for generations. If one day you feel that the descendants of the Uchiha Clan no longer have such magnanimity, you may leave."

Uchiha Madara rode the Nine-Tails, so it's not unreasonable for him to ride the Two-Tails, right?

Honestly, the giant serpent from Ryūchi Cave can no longer satisfy his summoning needs in many situations, but it's fine with Tailed Beasts.

Two-Tails' personality makes it the perfect psychic partner.

For this reason, Yugito Nii was destined to die.

If she doesn't die now, she'll be killed eventually.

However, this needs to be handled carefully, since we don't know exactly what kind of relationship exists between Matatabi and Yugito Nii.

Even among Perfect Jinchuriki, the partnerships between them will be different.

At Naruto Uzumaki's level, they're practically brothers.

"We'll see," said the Matatabi, its eyes showing no trust, but it also didn't mention Yugito Nii Uchiha Shingen.

It has become accustomed to living in this container and doesn't want to easily switch to another one.

"Okay, could I have a portion of your Chakra?"

"I'm sorry, I refuse." Matatabi refused without hesitation.

It doesn't care about Chakra, but since it doesn't trust the other party, it's unwilling to follow their arrangements.

However, it is ready for battle.

But Uchiha Shingen didn't make a move; he simply stared intently at Matatabi with his Sharingan, making the creature feel uneasy.

"I'll give it to you, don't look at me like that." After thinking for a Matatabi, it realized that it was just a piece of Chakra, and there was no need to make things so awkward. Otherwise, it couldn't stand this guy coming in every few days.

The main problem is that this guy is very strong, and it can't do anything about him.

Then it raised its paw, peeled off a materialized Chakra from its body, and threw it in front of Uchiha Shingen.

"Thanks." Uchiha Shingen smiled, and a string of chains shot out from his hand, binding the Two-Tails 'Chakra in front of him.

Then, along with that mass of Chakra, it disappeared before Matatabi's eyes.

Chapter Seventeen: The Friendship Between Leaf Village and Cloud Village Must Not Be Broken

In the underground prison of Hidden Leaf Prison, a large group of Police Force and Sealing Squad ninjas were gathered.

Their eyes were fixed on the two people at the bottom of the cell.

One of them is Uchiha Shingen, one of Leaf Village's top ninjas.

The other is Yugito Cloud Village, a prisoner of Leaf Village and the Jinchūriki the Two- Two-Tails from Yugito Nii.

Previously, after they arrived, Uchiha Shingen used Sharingan Genjutsu to directly control Yugito Nii, then grabbed Yugito Nii's clothes and placed his hand on Yugito Nii's lower abdomen, where Chakra quickly lit up.

The people in the Sealing Squad were fine, but most of the ninjas in the Police Force were seeing materialized Chakra for the first time and just felt that it was an eye-opening experience.

Ninety-nine percent of people in the Ninja World will never see Chakra materialize in their entire lives, let alone make it physical.

This power can only be displayed when the control and quantity of Chakra have reached an extremely high level.

For example, the Adamantine Sealing Chains Sealing Jutsu is Sealing Jutsu that only a very few people can master. The materialized Chakra chains are the mark of a strong member of the Uzumaki Clan.

If an ordinary ninja were pierced by these chains, he would be half-dead, if not killed.

Mito Uzumaki was able to become Senju Hashirama's wife because she had considerable strength. She was a prominent figure in the Uzumaki Clan at the time, and her Adamantine Sealing Chains had defeated countless people on the battlefield.

It was no secret that Uchiha Shingen could use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to trap the upper echelons of Leaf Village; even the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan knew this to some extent, but witnessing it firsthand still left them speechless with awe.

The emergence of such a monstrous Uchiha Clan in this era is truly mind-boggling. Aside from the Kekkei Tōta, there's probably no Ninjutsu in the world he can't copy.

Suddenly, everyone saw Uchiha Shingen take a step back.

Instinctively, all the ninjas assumed fighting stances—if Yugito Nii had even lifted a finger, these guys intended to beat her until she couldn't get up.

As for whether he'll be killed... hmm? Shouldn't Jinchūriki resistance to blows be a basic requirement?

However, they soon realized they were overthinking it.
