Ten-Tails Reappears, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Appears

"Clatter."

The chopsticks in Hinata's hand fell onto the table.

She gave a slight nod without speaking.

"Do you really agree?"

Kanami smiled and asked again for confirmation.

Hinata raised her eyes, their rims slightly red.

"If I don't agree, there isn't any other path, is there?"

She knew the dangers of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Kanami had told her about them.

Becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki required fighting for control against one's own will, and possibly against Kaguya Otsutsuki's will as well.

Only whoever seized control could survive in the Ninja World as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Once the struggle for control failed, the outcome would be death.

If the consciousness died, then even if the body lived, it would only become a wedding dress for someone else.

"I'm sorry. This is the only path I can take."

Kanami looked at Hinata gently.

Hinata said, "I know why you insisted on cooking. You're afraid you won't get another chance in the future, aren't you..."

"You think there's a high chance you'll fail this time, don't you..."

As she spoke, Hinata's voice grew softer and softer.

Kanami wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.

Because that truly was what he thought.

Fight Kaguya Otsutsuki for control of consciousness?

It would be difficult.

Especially now that Black Zetsu was dead.

With Black Zetsu dead, Kaguya Otsutsuki would definitely sense it.

Then, for someone to try to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki at this very moment would be her only chance at resurrection.

She would definitely fight with everything she had for control over the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the end, Kanami nodded. "Just in case. These are all unpredictable matters, and I can't guarantee one hundred percent that I'll become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"I'm sorry."

Kanami's tone was sincere.

But
