"You—!"
The Nine-Tails felt a chakra chain around its neck, another beneath the armpits of its front paws, and even one across the pads of its hind paws.
Panic suddenly rose in it. "Wait! Wait!"
"Wait?"
Hyuga Wuye tilted his head. "Why should I wait?"
The Nine-Tails froze for a moment, then bared its fangs viciously. "I am the strongest Nine-Tails! How dare you humiliate me!"
"So what if I humiliate you? I'll torture you! Ravage you! Tie you up, whip you, drip wax... cough..."
Wuye's voice caught.
"Hehehe..."
Off to the side, Kushina, who had hidden far away, could not help snickering.
"You! If you treat me like that, I'll fire Tailed Beast Bombs every day and keep Uzumaki Kushina from sleeping!"
The Nine-Tails was clearly putting on a fierce front despite its fear.
"Oh..."
Hyuga Wuye suddenly crouched down and leaned close to its huge eye. "Nine-Tails, we had an agreement. You wouldn't erode Kushina, and I wouldn't mess with you. Who told you to break your promise?
You can't even keep a promise made to two children. Don't you have any shame? And you still have the nerve to call yourself the strongest Nine-Tails?"
The Nine-Tails fell silent.
It really had acted improperly this time, so faced with Hyuga Wuye's questioning, it lost some of its confidence.
Though the Nine-Tails hated humans, it was also the proudest of all and disdained doing such things.
It was just that... Hyuga Wuye's threat to tickle it had been far too excessive...
That damn urge for revenge...
"How about this? Admit that you were wrong, and I won't hold today's matter against you. What do you say?" Wuye suddenly asked with a grin.
He could not push this fellow too far. It was best to keep things as peaceful as
