As everyone knows, the forbidden techniques developed by the Second Hokage are often very useful.
The Spirit Transformation Technique is no exception.
This technique can materialize a person's soul and is an advanced application of Yin Release Power.
By materializing the soul, the caster can perform many operations and accomplish things that ordinary people cannot.
Later, Tsunade's lover, Kato Dan, who died young, became famous for this technique.
At this moment, Minamikawa Yuu was performing this technique, but the target was not himself, but the Nine-Tailed before him.
Through the Spirit Transformation Technique, he could materialize the Nine-Tailed's consciousness, making it easier to proceed with the next step.
Of course, this process was not easy.
As a Tailed Beast, it was extremely difficult to materialize the Nine-Tailed's soul and pull it out of its body.
If not for the Nine-Tailed's own cooperation, this task would have been nearly impossible.
After spending a great deal of time, this stage was finally declared complete.
He successfully pulled out a portion of the Nine-Tailed's consciousness and sealed it into the fox body he had prepared beforehand.
Sealing Technique!
After completing all this, he sealed this part of the Nine-Tailed's consciousness inside the fox's body.
This process was akin to creating a Jinchuriki.
However, the fox itself had undergone special treatment and had no residual consciousness, allowing the Nine-Tailed's consciousness to smoothly take over the body.
Before him, under Minamikawa Yuu's gaze, the fox slowly opened its eyes and looked at the world once again.
"I am finally out!"
It let out an excited sound.
Having been sealed inside Uzumaki Mito's body for many years, it had been a long time since it had felt the scenery of the outside world.
Thus, its current excitement was perfectly understandable.
But soon, it realized something was wrong.
"My body..."
"
Carefully sensing its current state, the Nine-Tailed's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "How can it be so weak?"
Although this fox body created by Minamikawa Yuu could carry a portion of its consciousness, its power was truly far too weak.
To put it bluntly, although the body could generate Nine-Tailed Chakra and barely maintain its existence, its strength was likely inferior to even an ordinary Ninja.
Could such a weak body really be the body of the Nine-Tailed?
"Yuu, you brat!"
The Nine-Tailed's eyes widened as it looked at Minamikawa Yuu: "Didn't you say you'd use my flesh and blood to culture a new body? Why is it so weak?"
"Ah, because I was in a hurry, I just barely managed to put a body together."
Minamikawa Yuu waved his hand: "Don't look at how weak it is; this was already very difficult."
Being able to create a body that can independently generate Nine-Tailed Chakra based on the Nine-Tailed's flesh and blood is extremely difficult by current standards. If not for Minamikawa Yuu's high level of expertise, it would have been impossible.
"If I were given enough time, perhaps I could have made this body stronger, but there's no use thinking about that now."
He said, "However, this body also has its advantages."
"Compared to your original body, this one is still in its infancy. It incorporates the genes of various Summoned Beasts and your own. If you train well, it can continue to grow stronger in the future."
"Your true form, Nine-Tailed, was too powerful; you probably never experienced the process of growing stronger. This is the perfect chance to make up for that regret."
"Hmph."
The Nine-Tailed snorted coldly: "That's not true."
"We Tailed Beasts can also become stronger through cultivation; it's just that compared to our original power, cultivation doesn't mean much."
Despite being Tailed Beasts, they are also intelligent lifeforms capable of cultivation and learning.
Over the years, the Nine Tailed Beasts have basically mastered some Ninjutsu, rather than relying solely on their own massive Chakra.
This is most evident in Ichibi Shukaku.
As for the Nine-Tailed, perhaps because its Chakra advantage was too obvious, it didn't show much in the way of Ninjutsu, but it also possesses a great deal of knowledge about Ninjutsu.
"This is so infuriating!"
The Nine-Tailed looked over its current body, growing more dissatisfied: "Such a weak body was actually cultured from my genes."
"Don't get too excited."
Minamikawa Yuu spoke softly: "This body is still in its infancy and cannot carry your consciousness very well. If you get too emotional, it might affect the body."
In fact, the Nine-Tailed was already being very careful.
Compared to its consciousness, this body was too fragile and could easily be damaged if it wasn't careful.
At that point, it would have to return to Uzumaki Mito's body.
"To think the Nine-Tailed could have such a cute side."
To the side, Uzumaki Mito looked at the mini version of the Nine-Tailed before her, feeling a strange sense of oddity.
Compared to the original Nine-Tailed, which was like a natural disaster, the Nine-Tailed before her actually gave off a strangely cute feeling.
After all, it was still a cub. Even with that ominous Nine-Tailed Chakra, it now felt fierce-cute.
As long as you are weak enough, no matter what you do, it looks like you're acting spoiled in the eyes of others.
Uzumaki Mito felt this way at the moment, a strange sense of dissonance in her heart.
It could only be said that compared to the original version of the Nine-Tailed, the one before her was just too different.
"For the time being, stay by my side."
Minamikawa Yuu spoke softly: "This is both part of our agreement and a practical necessity."
"Nine-Tailed, you wouldn't want to be caught and treated like a Summoned Beast, would you?"
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed couldn't help but shudder.
People in the Ninja World are quite pragmatic.
The Nine-Tailed's current appearance made it look like a very rare Ninja Beast.
It would be fine if the Ninjas outside didn't see it, but once they did, they would definitely try to capture it.
After all, no matter how weak it was, it was still the Nine-Tailed.
Even excluding everything else, the Nine-Tailed Chakra on its body alone was enough to make many people try to capture it.
Even if it couldn't be used as a combat force, it could at least be studied as a substitute for the Nine-Tailed.
Thinking of that scenario, the Nine-Tailed shuddered all over, unable to imagine such a scene.
"Fine."
It shook its head and finally said, "In that case, I will reluctantly stay by your side."
As it spoke, it tilted its head up with a proud look, as if staying with him was doing him a favor.
But given its current appearance, it was truly a bit comical.
"Alright, then thank you, Lord Nine-Tails."
Minamikawa Yuu smiled, not minding the Nine-Tailed's tone, and just turned around to look at Uzumaki Mito: "Then, Lady Mito, I'll leave things here to you."
"Go ahead."
Uzumaki Mito nodded with a smile: "To be honest, without him causing trouble around here, I feel quite a bit more relaxed."
