Chapter 186: Talk Between Gyuki and Matatabi
Yugito, who already possessed a queen-like aura and was very dignified, instantly became even more imposing, making people feel the pressure even more.
Some Kumo ninjas didn't dare to joke around in front of Yugito, lowering their heads and pretending not to see.
"Hmph, is it because of that Kiyoshi again?"
Yugito felt irritated.
Considering that the village would still need the power of the Two-Tails in the future, she had no choice but to conjure the Two-Tails' chakra in her palm.
Pale red flowing chakra wrapped around her palm, occasionally flashing with white bubbles.
Yugito threw this section of chakra to Killer Bee. Killer Bee took it without understanding why.
A phantom figure instantly appeared in the mental space within his body, it was the Two-Tails, Matatabi.
"Two-Tails, did you come here to tell me something?"
The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, was entirely brownish-red, with skin that had a wood-like texture.
It had enormous bull horns on its head, and its lower body consisted of eight thick tentacles, resembling an octopus.
"I encountered someone who resembled the Child of Prophecy."
The Two-Tails, Matatabi, said slowly.
After she finished speaking, this chakra dissipated due to exhaustion.
Only Gyūki was left on the spot, his eyes wide open.
Killer Bee also looked puzzled, not knowing what the Tailed Beasts were talking about.
He wanted to ask Yugito, but Yugito had already dragged her feet and walked away.
Before leaving, she burned the small puddle mixed with blood and water under her feet clean with Mouse Hairball.
"Kiyoshi, very well, I've remembered you." Yugito gritted her teeth inwardly.
She could never forget that man. The humiliating thing he did to her. She would get her revenge one day.
Defeat Kiyoshi fair and square!
Killer Bee felt that Yugito's temper had been a bit erratic recently, and seeing that no deaths had occurred, he didn't say anything.
He quickly followed the others and left.
…
After returning to the base, Fugaku heard about this and immediately led Hizashi and others out to investigate.
If they could capture the enemy village's Tailed Beast during the war, it could have a significant impact on the entire war situation.
The destructive power of a Tailed Beast going berserk was enough to permanently alter a terrain.
It would take years to restore it to its original appearance.
This was also why Hashirama had led Madara away, trying to fight in a deserted place.
Unfortunately, when they arrived, there was only a post-war ruin. The Kumo ninjas had already retreated.
"Kiyoshi, come and find me later."
Fugaku had a solemn expression and asked Kiyoshi to come and find him later.
"Yes, Fugaku-sama."
Kiyoshi nodded.
"Fugaku, what's the matter?" Mikoto asked.
"It's nothing big, just asking for details."
Fugaku said vaguely, not continuing to delve into this topic, and turned to leave.
"…Okay."
Mikoto didn't say anything more, but the hand clutching the corner of her skirt showed that she was actually not in a good mood.
Kiyoshi understood.
It wasn't that Fugaku was being indifferent to Mikoto. It was just that every topic she inquired about was in a minefield.
They just happened to be things that Fugaku would hide from Mikoto for the rest of his life.
That was the Sharingan's suppression of the Tailed Beasts!
Fugaku had the idea of controlling the Nine-Tails with his eyes.
The Uchiha Stone Tablet actually records the Sharingan's restraint on the Tailed Beasts.
In the battle between brothers, Itachi had said that after awakening the Mangekyō, he would inevitably go blind.
Then, Sasuke immediately replied that blindness was the price of controlling the Nine-Tails.
Itachi then said that Sasuke had already seen the Stone Tablet.
This shows that although the Uchiha Stone Tablet was not large, it actually recorded a lot of information about the Uchiha and Senju clans, Kaguya, and so on.
The deeper the dōjutsu, the more one sees.
Fugaku had likely already seen the content on this Uchiha Stone Tablet.
The reason he was looking for him at this time was most likely to verify the words on it.
"Mikoto-nee, I still have some pastries here."
Kiyoshi handed a small box of pastries to Mikoto. He wasn't short of money now.
If you were to ask why, it was because as long as Miroku wanted to cure the Daimyo of the Land of Demons, she would have to be manipulated by him.
With Miroku of the Land of Demons as a solid financial backer, other than burning money on scientific research, he was already financially free in other aspects.
The Land of Demons was still a country, no matter how small it was. It could still provide this money.
"Oh, do you have more?"
Mikoto was slightly startled. These things were not cheap.
Had Kiyoshi, who was tight on money, spent his money for buying equipment on this?
"Yes, actually, I also like to eat sweets." Kiyoshi said with a smile.
He was actively looking for commonalities in the two people.
The best way to shorten the distance is to have common hobbies and topics.
"Mikoto-nee, let's go eat over there."
"Okay."
Mikoto's originally somewhat gloomy face showed a smile.
Over this period of time, the distance between Kiyoshi and her had shortened a lot imperceptibly.
Kiyoshi had lived in the Uchiha clan for several years, and could be said to have assimilated.
Therefore, Mikoto was not as wary of Kiyoshi as she was at the beginning. She regarded him as a promising junior in the clan.
The two found a stool in an empty place to sit down and talk, and laughter was heard from time to time.
"Is it really that interesting?"
"Yes, I'll take you there when you have time." Mikoto said with a smile.
"Okay."
Kiyoshi immediately said.
After all, his mental age was a bit older than Mikoto's, so there was no generation gap between the two when communicating.
Mikoto felt that she was a little young mentally and could keep up with the thinking of Kiyoshi's age group.
The two talked harmoniously, and after a while, Kiyoshi offered to leave.
If he doesn't go to Fugaku's place, Fugaku will probably come to find him himself.
"Take care."
Seeing this, Mikoto had no choice but to wave goodbye to Kiyoshi.
Being mentally tense in the base every day, Mikoto was in need of an outlet for her emotions.
This time, chatting with Kiyoshi was somewhat engrossing, but unfortunately Kiyoshi still had to go to Fugaku's place.
She sighed faintly, and soon returned to her tent.
On the other side, Kiyoshi arrived at Fugaku's place.
After Fugaku questioned Kiyoshi about the details of the situation, he said, "The Two-Tails was really affected by you?"
"Yes."
Kiyoshi nodded.
Fugaku had the idea of using the Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails.
It's just that the weak him was just thinking about it, and had never carried out any actual actions.
'Sure enough, the content on the Stone Tablet…' Fugaku thought to himself.
Immediately, he opened his mouth again, "You did a good job, I have seen the achievements you have made during this period of time. Now that the war situation has eased a bit, you and this group of people will go back to rest first."
Ninjas also need to rest. They are not soldiers, their main job is not war.
Now that the situation is a bit stable, letting some ninjas go back can also reduce expenses.
A long-term war will cause anti-war sentiment in the village.
It is also good to let the villagers see how the heroes outside are working hard to protect their homes and the village.
"Yes, Fugaku-sama."
Kiyoshi was slightly happy in his heart.
After returning to the village, he can better sort out what he haw learned.
At the same time, it will also be good to form further connection.
For example, Samui, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.
Presumably, after he goes back, she will have received intelligence about Yugito going berserk.
They will definitely try to win him over even more.
There was a ninjutsu that Kiyoshi had coveted for a long time, and he could take this opportunity to get it out.
