In mid-December, it was freezing cold.
Yayoi is sitting at Tenshu Tower reviewing documents submitted from various places.
It was Black Mountain Mining District Base 3's turn to submit the report document, especially the girly and beautiful text, which seemed familiar to me.
He didn't look at the content first, but looked at the signature--Uchiha Izayoi.
Yayoi couldn't help but be stunned, what's the matter with her?
I'm not writing him another lyrical essay that doesn't fit the title.
Despite this thought, Yayoi still picked it up and started reading it, and the beautiful fonts came into view one by one.
It was a relatively serious report at the beginning, but then it became more and more crooked, and things gradually started to go wrong. For example--
--General, Have you ever seen the sun rising in the icy and snowy Northeast in December?
--Although there is no cat, the pure white bear is very cute. I really want to take a photo for you General to see.
--The weather in the Northeast is very cold, but when I think of General watching me from afar, my whole body feels warm.
--By the way, why didn't General reply to me? Are you too busy recently? Can I call you Mr. Yayoi?
--...
"..."
After reading it, Yayoi opened his mouth, but stopped and scratched his head.
How did she come up with this weird little composition?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match her temperament.
It's the sunrise in the Northeast again, it's the white bear again, and it's so warm...
This is a composition for a little girl that a girl who often stabs people with a knife can write?
Yayoi is a little embarrassed and doesn't know how to write a reply.
Later, Yayoi always felt that something was not quite right, but Yayoi couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
I always feel that this kind of speech is a bit clingy... Hmm? Clingy?
Yayoi suddenly realized what was wrong.
This guy turned out to be teasing him!
If so, it's not surprising.
Yayoi understood everything he didn't understand at once.
After all, how can a girl write such a weird little composition for a man and still keep her body warm...
Yayoi, who understood what Izayoi was thinking, immediately touched his chin, and then took out a small mirror that was rarely used from the first drawer on the right side.
Well, although he is already thirty years old, he still maintains almost the same youthful appearance as ten years ago.
If you look at it purely from appearance, he is a few years older than Izayoi, and he is of the same age as Kicho.
Even so, there are young girls who take the initiative to hook up with others...Yayoi doesn't think Izayoi is the kind of girl who loves vanity and clings to power.
Eliminating this possibility, the only thing that can make Izayoi take the initiative and not reject this choice is the collective will of the family.
Although I don't quite understand why the Uchiha people of Land of Night do this, Izayoi doesn't seem to reject it.
Now that I know Uchiha Clan's thoughts and Izayoi's flirting thoughts, Yayoi has a different flavor when looking at this report document mixed with private work.
It is necessary to express one's close feelings without being too explicit, and to show the shyness of a girl...
Yayoi shook his head and smiled, as if he could imagine Izayoi sitting at his desk, scratching his head and scratching his head, thinking hard about various hook-up essays.
Then, Yayoi opened the third drawer from the right side. The drawers on the right side were specially used for storing small objects.
He took out a rather exquisite black camera from inside. The color and shape are suitable for both men and women, and it is a fast imaging camera.
Then he took out a lot of photo paper, packed it together with the camera, and stored it separately in a document bag with the report documents of Izayoi.
"Summoning Jutsu."
With a bang, the white smoke dispersed slightly, and a twenty-centimeter-tall cat-faced eight-legged spider appeared in front of Yayoi.
It is Tsuchigumo Clan Summoning Beast who signed a contract with Yayoi.
Unlike Tsuchigumo, which has black bristles that cover its body, this cat-faced spider has snow-white hair all over its body. It looks extremely soft and smooth, and people can't help but want to stroke its soft hair.
And the way it stands is quite elegant and beautiful.
"Hello, Master Yayoi, can I help you with anything?"
The cat-faced spider looked around and saw that it didn't look like a place for fighting, so he asked Yayoi, the psychic who came out of it, if he needed help with anything.
The tone was quite cheering. After all, since Yayoi and Tsuchigumo Clan signed the contract, this seems to be the first time that the other party has channeled their clan.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Yukino just follow this place on the map and deliver this document bag to a girl named Uchiha Izayoi."
"Oh, is it a message delivery mission? I understand."
Yukino glanced at the map and document bag handed over by Yayoi, and stared at the map. The route and terrain were clearly marked.
This place should be the place of the original Land of Iron. Even if Yukino has not been there in the past, it is confident that it can find the recipient within two or three days.
"And this. If you show the seal to the inspectors when the time comes, they won't stop you."
Yayoi took out a small red seal. It was made of special jade and could absorb Chakra. It contained his unique Chakra aura and could not be faked.
Yukino accepted these things and asked Yayoi to put a backpack on its back to store the things, and then nodded to Yayoi.
"Then I'll set off and wait for my good news, Mr. Yayoi."
As he said that, Yukino made a whoosh sound, stirred up a breeze, and disappeared from in front of Yayoi.
Yayoi was not surprised by this. During Tsuchigumo Clan's time, under the introduction of Tsuchigumo, he got to know many spiders Summoning Beast who had various special expertise.
Among them, Yukino is one of them. Although it is petite, its speed is amazing. In terms of leg strength, Jonin cannot catch up with it.
Not only that, it is also proficient in Sensory Ninjutsu, covering a radius of dozens of kilometers, and can avoid danger in time.
It is most suitable for tasks such as sending letters, conveying intelligence, and conducting investigations.
"Irori, let me go check on Seven-Tails. You can just watch and handle the work here."
"I understand, Master Yayoi."
After getting the reply from Irori, Yayoi planned to go to Inner Court to see the situation of Seven-Tails.
He was quite satisfied with the Tailed-Beast Drug developed previously by Nene.
I thought I couldn't forget my old friend, so I mixed a Tailed-Beast Drug made with Nine-Tails Chakra into Seven-Tails's favorite drink to see if there was any special reaction in the other person's body.
◎
Inner Court, under the big tree on the edge of the training ground.
It was a Chakra giant tree forty to fifty meters high, with lush branches and leaves that could grow fresh leaves even in the severe cold winter.
Even if the white snow falls on the branches now, it can't take away its vitality.
And below here, it is suitable for enjoying the cool air in summer and hibernating in winter. It is a very good habitat.
Since Seven-Tails regained its freedom, apart from occasionally flying up to the sky to move its stiff body, most of the time it lay lazily under this big tree, lying in a daze.
He has the attitude of a retired veteran cadre who does nothing all day long.
When Yayoi came over, he saw Seven-Tails dining there.
Instead of deep-fried golden earthworms and chilled plum juice, there are crispy-fried pork strips with a different flavor, paired with honey lemon tea suitable for winter drinking, and the indispensable fresh fruits.
The cup was taller than a person. When Yayoi came closer, Yayoi's figure was reflected on it.
"You're here, Oda boy, hiccup~~"
Seven-Tails burped as if he was drunk, and his stomach seemed to be a little bloated.
Yayoi nodded. It seems that even Tailed Beasts will become lazy once he falls into his comfort zone.
However, due to the special physique of Tailed Beasts, no matter how much they overeat, it is impossible for them to gain unnecessary weight.
"How does today's drink taste?"
Yayoi asked Seven-Tails whether the honey lemon tea he was drinking was in line with the taste.
"Oh, this, it's sour and sweet, and has a natural sweet aroma of honey... Well, I just don't know why it suddenly smells like that guy Nine-Tails."
Seven-Tails is like a top gourmet, commenting on today's catering food, using professional words.
At the end of the sentence, his tone started to become weird, and he clicked his tongue in displeasure.
Then, its eyes under its carapace suddenly glanced at the thoughtful Yayoi.
"Oda boy, did you add any strange ingredients in it?"
Maybe he didn't notice it at first, but as Yayoi added ingredients to it more and more frequently, no matter how slow his nerves were, he came back to his senses.
It's just that Seven-Tails doesn't care about this. As long as it doesn't ruin the taste of the food, it turns a blind eye.
Because Tailed Beasts is different from humans and is a pure creation of Chakra.
No matter whether it is conventional poisons, chemical poisons, biological poisons or the like, they have no effect on them.
"Oda boy, I like the taste of today's honey tea. But, if it has the Chakra smell of Nine-Tails mixed in it, I don't like it very much."
Seven-Tails's voice suddenly became serious.
"Do you hate Nine-Tails?"
Yayoi was puzzled by Seven-Tails's reaction.
"Yeah, that guy often boasts that he is the strongest among Tailed Beasts. I don't really like that guy's arrogant tone."
Seven-Tails nodded, making no secret of his likes and dislikes.
"Besides, you already have me, why do you still want to get Chakra from Nine-Tails?"
Seven-Tails Speaking of this, he already felt deeply unhappy.
"It's just that in the previous operations, I accidentally got Chakra from Nine-Tails... Well, but you really don't know anything about the outside world. Are you Tailed Beasts so slow?"
Yayoi sighed helplessly.
If this guy continues to lie down, he won't be disabled, right?
"What happened outside?"
Seven-Tails heard Yayoi say this, and suddenly became curious about what was happening outside.
If it was an ordinary trivial matter, Yayoi would not specifically explain it to it, and the matter must be related to them Tailed Beasts.
Since its creation, it has not even taken a step out of the General's Residence door, and its range of activities is extremely limited.
After all, this kind of life now with clothes to open one's hands and food to open one's mouth is much happier than the life in the forest in the wind and sun.
"That guy Nine-Tails has been sealed by Konoha Ninja."
"... Huh? Ha? You said Nine-Tails it was sealed!?"
Seven-Tails was stunned at first, and then the sound vibrated loudly in the air, as if he heard something extremely incredible.
It even suspected that there was a problem with its auditory system.
Although it doesn't like Nine-Tails very much, it also knows that that guy is indeed the strongest among them Tailed Beasts.
In the past, countless ninjas tried to obtain the power of Nine-Tails, but they were all defeated by that guy, so that they were regarded as a natural disaster that should not be provoked.
Such a powerful guy was sealed by a ninja?
Before Seven-Tails could digest the shock brought by this news, Yayoi dropped another bombshell.
"And it's not just Nine-Tails. Apart from you, the remaining eight Tailed Beasts are probably all sealed at this time."
After all, it has been some time since the end of Five Kage Summit, enough for each of them to obtain the Ninja Village of Tailed Beasts and seal them into Jinchūriki's body.
"..."
There was no excitement as expected, or anything else, because the news was so sudden, Seven-Tails's mind went blank, and he didn't know how to respond to Yayoi.
Suddenly, a sudden throbbing was transmitted to Seven-Tails's brain, causing his body to shake violently.
"Oops, is this feeling-"
Seven-Tails immediately knew that Tailed Beasts was passing through his thoughts, and summoned the remaining Tailed Beasts.
That is a special space used by Tailed Beastss to communicate. No matter how far apart they are, they can have face-to-face spiritual communication.
It's just that under normal circumstances, this kind of thing doesn't happen.
Since the death of Sage of Six Paths, it has happened only a handful of times.
"Quick, quick! Oda boy, quickly carve Sealing Jutsu on me! I don't have time to explain to you!"
Seven-Tails seems to have suffered some major changes, urging Yayoi to engrave Sealing Jutsu on it.
Yayoi didn't know what happened to Seven-Tails, but he still followed Seven-Tails's request, raised his palm, and carved Sealing Jutsu·Seven-Star Seal on Seven-Tails's body.
After Hisana's guidance, he became more skillful in using this move and its power was even greater than before.
Before Yayoi could ask, Seven-Tails seemed to have lost his soul and turned into a sculpture standing there, motionless.
"Are you communicating with other Tailed Beastss? It seems that Tailed Beastss have special contact information..."
After a short period of thinking, Yayoi quickly deduced what happened to Seven-Tails.
The other side--
Seven-Tails opened its eyes in the dark and deep space around it, and figures of Tailed Beasts appeared around it.
One-Tail, Two-Tails, Three-Tails... and finally the orange-red fox with nine tails shaking--Nine-Tails.
These companions have slightly different auras from the ones Seven-Tails felt in the past. It is obvious that Sealing Jutsu is exerting force and firmly restraining their bodies.
So much so that the projected spiritual body is more or less mixed with the aura of ninja Chakra that does not belong to Tailed Beasts.
At first, it thought Yayoi was lying to it. After all, there had never been so many cases of Tailed Beasts being sealed by ninjas in the past. Today, Seven-Tails's eyes were opened.
"Pfft!"
Seven-Tails burst out laughing.
Nine-Tails, who was about to speak, immediately glared over with dissatisfaction.
"Why are you laughing, Chōmei?"
"Well, it's nothing. I'm just surprised that you are all sealed by humans. Even Kurama you..."
"If you don't speak, you won't be suffocated to death. Besides, haven't you been sealed away?"
Nine-Tails continued to sweep towards Seven-Tails, and there was a strange Chakra aura on the other party that did not belong to it. It was not difficult to see that Seven-Tails was also in a bad situation.
"Ah, yes, yes, hehe..."
"Why are you laughing again?"
Nine-Tails, who was already in a bad mood, blushed louder than words when he heard Seven-Tails's seemingly sinister laughter.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something happy. Well, Kurama, you don't need to pay attention to me."
Seven-Tails's body trembled, as if he was trying to suppress something.
"..."
Nine-Tails glanced at Seven-Tails angrily, has this guy's brain been beaten stupid by humans?
(It has been reviewed, but some chapters still need to be revised and polished. For example, some terms of address need to be rechecked and corrected. For the time being, I will start with one chapter, and the remaining chapters will be updated during the day.
