Chapter 5 : No One Should Object
Chapter 5: No One Should Object
---
What weird names are these? Even the usually arrogant yet polite Nibi couldn't stand listening to them anymore.
"Stop! Little guy!
You are in a bad situation now!! Do you want to have power?!"
Two puffs of hot air blew out of Nibi's nose, sending Tonari, who was almost leaning on the fence, stumbling back.
Nibi was forcibly stopping his reckless behavior.
This little guy didn't seem to be afraid of me at all. It was as if he thought that as long as I didn't cross the fence, I wouldn't be able to deal with him!
Need some discipline!
To a certain extent, the tailed beasts share some of the same thoughts and perceptual abilities as the Jinchūriki.
And there's no need to overthink it.
When Nibi realized it was trapped in the body of this little guy and that the seal imprisoning it was not as strong as it had imagined, it roughly guessed the little guy's situation.
His predecessor, the Jinchūriki, although his sealing ability was not weak, was already at the end of his strength, and his abilities were only adequate.
There isn't much problem in strengthening one's own seal, but if one wants to seal a tailed beast into someone else, the ability is still lacking.
If the Two-Tails hadn't suffered a lot of trauma, it would have been able to break free from the seal, occupy Tonari's body, and be completely free!
They are not in the Cloud Ninja Village now. As long as it can occupy the body of the Jinchūriki and become completely free, escaping into the mountains and forests would make it difficult for the Cloud Ninja to find him again.
But even if it can't break the seal by force now, it still has ways.
Hearing the Two-Tails' tempting words, Tonari was stunned.
Immediately, his eyes became a little blurry, and in his mind, beautiful dreams emerged: after possessing the power of the Two-Tails, he could kill all the Cloud Ninjas tracking him on the spot and then roam the world with the power of the Two-Tails, punching the Third Hokage, kicking the Fourth Hokage, and reaching the pinnacle of his life.
From Nibi's perspective, it watched Tonari standing there with lifeless eyes not far away. Wisps of temperatureless blue flames slowly rose from under his feet, covering Tonari's ankles, knees, thighs, waist, chest, shoulders, lips...
Looking at Tonari, who was slowly being enveloped, Nibi licked its lips gently, a slightly excited gleam in its eyes.
This seal is much weaker than the previous one.
Now that it is severely injured, it is temporarily unable to break free from the seal by force, but the limit on the amount of energy that can be dissipated outward has also increased significantly.
As long as it can cover the little guy in front of it with all its energy, his body will become its own.
In fact, it was not just in the strange space where the seal was located. Even outside, the body of Tonari curled up in the carriage was slowly enveloped by the light blue energy, which was mixed with some bubbles.
It looked like the temperature should be very high, but the things around the carriage did not catch fire.
Just when the light blue energy was about to cover Tonari's eyes, he shuddered.
His eyes suddenly opened, two rays of light bursting forth, then quickly retracting.
"What?! How is it possible?! (Narihoudu?)"
Nibi stood up suddenly, staring at Tonari with wide eyes, as if it wanted to understand him all over again.
This was the first time it had seen such a situation!
It was only one step away, but he woke up at that moment!
It was clearly just one step away, and the little guy in front of it was about to go berserk, giving it the opportunity to take advantage!
I am so close to escaping this damn cage. The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap!
It couldn't understand how the little guy could stop in his tracks at that moment.
Tonari's eyes regained clarity, and after surveying his surroundings, he let out a long breath and muttered, "I told you, it's not that exaggerated. A two-tailed beast can't make me punch the Third Hokage and kick the Fourth Hokage..."
"What?"
Nibi didn't catch what Tonari was mumbling.
Tonari shook his head and looked toward the towering Nibi.
When it stood up, it looked even larger.
"Two-Tails, my current situation is indeed a little less than ideal, and I also need strength, but if it is a power that I cannot control, I would rather not have it!"
The tiny Tonari stared at the mountain-like beast and spoke his words clearly, word for word.
"Is it because it is an uncontrollable force that you choose not to accept it?" Nibi leaned down again, its eyes hanging on the edge of the fence, staring closely at the little guy in front of it.
It had seen countless humans. When they learned they could gain extremely powerful power without any effort by simply letting down their guard, many would choose to compromise.
This was the first time it had seen such a rational individual.
"But! Do you know what my power means?! You should know this is the power of my Two-Tails!!"
The roaring sound was accompanied by strong energy fluctuations, resounding and echoing in the space.
Immediately afterward, Tonari felt an extremely strong breath blowing toward him, which was truly the aura of the ancient giant beast, the Two-Tails, which was famous in the ninja world.
"Yes! It is precisely because this is the power of your Two-Tails that I cannot accept it."
Tonari didn't seem to feel the fierce aura gushing out from the roar of the Two-Tails. His tone was somewhat flat, and he only emphasized the three words "belong to you."
In fact, Tonari was somewhat relieved that Nibi did not have a bad breath.
Otherwise, after such a long breath, he would really be afraid of suffocating to death.
"you!!"
Hearing Tonari's matter-of-fact words, Nibi didn't know how to express its emotions at that moment and was a little speechless.
"Okay, okay, I know you are very powerful, and I also know that the Two-Tails is a very remarkable tailed beast. I don't mean to look down on you at all, but now your heart is full of rejection of me, and all you think about is how to occupy my body, so we can't communicate well."
Tonari changed his tone and spoke to the Two-Tails as if he were comforting a child.
Because in his eyes, the roaring Nibi suddenly seemed to have turned into a little kitten with a baby voice. It was clearly "wooooing" with all its might, yet it did not pose any threat to him.
Hearing Tonari's words, the Two-Tails froze in place.
What does this mean?
Are you trying to comfort the kids?
Tonari clapped his hands gently. "I almost understand the structure here. Let's end our discussion for now!
Goodbye, beautiful girl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tonari's figure slowly disappeared in this space, leaving only the Two-Tails still standing there in a daze.
It was unknown how much time passed after Tonari left before Nibi came back to its senses.
However, it was not as angry as before. Instead, it shook its head calmly and lay back down on the ground.
As it bent down, it even curled the corners of its mouth and shook its head slowly.
Since it became a tailed beast, it had come into contact with so many humans and experienced countless generations of Jinchūriki, but this was the first time it had encountered a little creature that made it feel so curious.
He was clearly just a weak kid without any strength— even a little malnourished— but he could chat and laugh in front of it.
It seemed that he didn't harbor much fear of himself.
Lack of fear would only lead to one's emotions being aroused toward him and would not create the desired effect.
No matter how calm its former Jinchūriki acted in front of it, his true nature would be completely exposed as long as he provoked him even the slightest bit.
This little guy was still the first one for whom neither the death stare nor the emotional hook had any effect.
Nibi leaned down and looked at the blue hair on its forelimbs, then stretched out its tongue and licked its paws gently.
"Although this little guy is strange, his words are still very pleasant to hear.
My Two-Tails is the most beautiful of all the tailed beasts; I think no one would refute that...
Perhaps..."
