The Two-Tails narrowed its eyes, scrutinizing Chihiro through the bars of the cage.
Red hair, strong Sealing Technique.
These two hallmarks made it instantly recognize the person before it as a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
Previously, in the Kumogakure, it had passively heard a lot about the Uzushigakure.
This was mainly because the experiments to Seal it and the Eight-Tails had made no progress.
The people in the laboratory then focused their attention on the Uzumaki Clan, who had extensive research on Bijus.
The Two-Tails was also forced to learn about some of the Kumogakure's plans regarding the Uzushigakure.
Logically speaking, since the Kumogakure obtained the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique, it should mean they succeeded.
But what was the deal with this Uzumaki Clan member right in front of it?
However, this made the Hollows' invasion of the Land of Lightning seem reasonable.
Revenge... Chihiro smiled without speaking. He wasn't here to chat with the Two-Tails.
Since he wanted the people at the Technical Development Bureau to research whether Bijus could be converted into Shinigami or Hollows, he naturally needed experimental subjects.
"As compensation for reinforcing your new home, you don't mind if I extract some of your Chakra, do you?"
The Two-Tails: "..."
I really appreciate it!
Chihiro continued, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as consent."
As his voice fell, Chihiro walked straight through the bars and into the cage holding the Two-Tails.
The Two-Tails narrowed its eyes, and a cold light flashed in its heterochromatic pupils.
Did this guy think it was easy to talk to?
Or was he looking down on it?
The Two-Tails decided to teach him a lesson.
A cat paw engulfed in blue flames swiped toward Chihiro!
Chihiro remained unfazed, merely extending several chains from his back, wrapping them around the Two-Tails' paw.
Then, he pulled hard!
Bang!
The Two-Tails was yanked by the tremendous force, slamming its head into the ground with a bang!
Ripples immediately spread across the water on the ground.
The Two-Tails' pupils contracted. It seemed surprised that this human could suppress it so easily.
Moreover, these chains possessed the power of a Seal.
Chihiro paid no mind to the Two-Tails' feelings, acting as if he had only done something trivial.
He stood beside the Two-Tails, seemingly pondering how to extract a bit of its Chakra.
Seeing this, the Two-Tails said, "If you can guarantee Yugito's safety, I can give you Chakra."
"Oh?"
Chihiro was surprised. This guy actually cared about the life and death of its Jinchuriki?
However, he had no intention of killing Yugito, so it was a good opportunity to do a favor.
Chihiro readily agreed, "Alright, but if there's a need, you must provide Chakra unconditionally. Of course, I won't make it too difficult for you."
The Two-Tails' eyes flickered, and it nodded. It knew it wasn't in a position to negotiate other terms right now.
At least, ensure Yugito's safety first.
After obtaining the Two-Tails' Chakra, Chihiro arranged for someone to send it to the Technical Development Bureau for research.
Then, he called the Ninth Division to temporarily detain Yugito in the Palace of Penitence.
As for whether she could gain freedom, it would depend on Yugito's performance.
With Yakushi Nono as a precedent, Chihiro estimated that Yugito wouldn't be difficult to handle either.
Moreover, Yugito was still young, and coupled with her Jinchuriki status, she might not be well-regarded in the Village.
Thus, she likely wouldn't have too many emotional ties to the Village.
Yugito was carried on a shoulder and escorted to the Palace of Penitence.
The Two-Tails, meanwhile, used Chakra to sense the area.
The more it sensed, the more the Two-Tails' heart trembled.
These people, unlike those Hollows, were perfectly normal humans.
Yet, they possessed some of the same powers as those Hollows.
It was a power different from Chakra and natural energy!
