Wujie and Xiangyan were still flying in the sky.
The little Guardian Beast, who had already sensed Kurama's chakra, rushed into Xiangyan's sealing space to visit.
"Hahahahahahaha!!!" The Guardian Beast stood before the main gate of the seal, pointing directly at the nose of the Yin Kurama, roaring with laughter. "I never thought you'd have this day!!! I just said, why did I feel so strange when I saw you before? So you're also divided into Yin and Yang parts! Hahahahaha!!!"
The Guardian Beast had been feeling somewhat inferior before because it had been 'sealed'. Now, this was great! Even Kurama had been 'sealed'! And calculating by time, Kurama was sealed even earlier than it, more than ten years ago!
Yin Kurama calmly lay down behind the main gate of the seal. It opened one eye and glanced at the Guardian Beast, then closed it again, saying, "Oh, old man, I thought it was someone else. You're so annoying! What are you doing here?"
"Hmm?" The Guardian Beast looked at the calm Yin Kurama with some doubt, wondering why it didn't jump up and breathe fire. The Yang Kurama before wasn't like this.
"Hey, stinky fox, you seem a bit strange."
Yin Kurama glanced at the Guardian Beast, then looked at the vast desert behind it, saying, "Don't talk about this old man, how are you? You seem to be doing pretty well."
The Guardian Beast leaned against the iron gate upon hearing this. "Hmph, that's right. The sealing conditions are indeed much better than before. Occasionally, I can even go out and kill some ninjas or something." Speaking of this, it turned to Yin Kurama, "Haha, speaking of which, this human I'm with this time is quite interesting. He's beaten up those Six Paths Old Man's disciples, and he knows many secrets from thousands of years ago. I even thought he was the Six Paths Old Man's reincarnation, but he denied it himself. However, I always find it strange; he knows too much."
Yin Kurama's eyebrow twitched. It looked at the Guardian Beast and said to him, "Six Paths Old Man? Looking at you, it seems you've already acknowledged him, haven't you?"
"Huh!?" The Guardian Beast immediately puffed up.
—its chest and shouted, "How could that be! This old man is the strongest ninja!"
"Then why are you so anxious?"
Yin Kurama shook its head, then slowly spoke, resting its head on its paws, "Hmph, even if that's the case, what does it matter? As long as someone is willing to reach out their hand to us, we will unconsciously put our hands out there, because we Tailed Beasts are truly too lonely."
When the Guardian Beast heard this, its expression turned silent. Even throughout thousands of years, people who could treat them as equals were extremely rare.
Most people would treat them as some kind of demon, fear them, hate them, or want to conquer them, control them, and make their power their own.
"Huh? Wait!" The Guardian Beast suddenly snapped back to reality. "This guy of yours is indeed very strange, stinky fox. How can you say something so reasonable? Are you still a stinky fox or not?!"
Yin Kurama chuckled, "What's so strange? It's just that this old man also met an interesting human."
"Have you become friends?"
Kurama let out a burst of laughter, then said, "It's just more interesting, and that man hasn't let down his guard against this old man in the slightest."
Returning to Grass Hidden Village, Wujie and Xiangyan held hands. Through the connection between their chakras, the sealing spaces of the two were connected. Then, Wujie and Xiangyan's spiritual bodies came before Kurama.
"Kurama, first time meeting." There was a faint smile on Wujie's face. He still held the black staff of the Six Paths in his hand, and the Eye of Indra on his forehead was also in an open state.
Yin Kurama sized up Wujie from top to bottom, finding that his appearance was indeed very similar to the Sage of Six Paths. No wonder that hot-tempered guy, the Guardian Beast, was so honest.
Yin Kurama let out a burst of laughter, then said, "You are the Jinchuriki of the Guardian Beast, right? That Guardian Beast has always caused trouble for you."
When the Guardian Beast heard this, it immediately yelled from the side, "Dead fox, who are you talking about?!"
Wujie was a little surprised. Yin Kurama's personality seemed completely different from Yang Kurama's.
Although the Tailed Beasts, after being divided into Yin and Yang parts, were two completely different independent entities, there shouldn't be such a big difference.
But then he remembered that Yin Kurama had been sealed inside the Reaper's stomach for more than ten years. After such a long time, it wasn't strange for its personality to have changed.
Thinking of this, Wujie spoke with a smile, "No, to be precise, I didn't do anything. On the contrary, the Guardian Beast helped us a lot, helping us overcome many crises."
When the Guardian Beast heard this, it immediately straightened its back and puffed out its chest. "Did you hear that, stinky fox! This old man wasn't causing trouble for others!"
Wujie was slightly startled, always feeling that the scene before him was a bit strange, somewhat like the Kurama from that parallel world, with blonde twin tails, causing trouble for him...
He shook his head, throwing these chaotic thoughts aside.
Wujie looked at Xiangyan. Xiangyan, understanding his thoughts, completely opened her inner self to him.
Then, the Eye of Indra glowed black.
—light, and Wujie also thrust the tin staff in his hand into Xiangyan's glabella.
Immediately after, with a ripple of chakra, the cramped room holding Kurama instantly turned into an illusory shadow and disappeared.
At the same time, a dense original forest began to appear around them. In the blink of an eye, an ancient forest appeared before everyone. The trees in this forest were tall and majestic, averaging over five hundred meters in height. Occasionally, the roars of wild beasts could be heard echoing in the forest.
After all the changes had ended, Wujie spoke to Yin Kurama, "Since you've already met the Guardian Beast, you should also know my conditions. This forest will give you a chance to go to the outside world, and this is the greatest sincerity I can offer. Furthermore, I don't need you to completely let down your guard and act like a loving family. I only need you to be able to lend me your strength during battle, and not cause trouble."
Kurama was the most special of all the Tailed Beasts. In terms of strength alone, all other Tailed Beasts combined might not be able to match it! And it didn't need to agree from the heart. As long as Kurama agreed not to cause trouble, it could use its power to enter the 'Golden Man' state it had used in the Fourth Great Ninja War!
That is, the Fourth Raikage's Kurama Chakra Mode that could rival him in speed!!!
Yin Kurama looked at the surrounding forest with a hint of nostalgia in its eyes. Before it was captured by the ninjas, it had lived in this kind of place.
Yin Kurama sniffed its nose. The scent of green grass and wet earth filled its nostrils. Then it used its claws to scratch at a nearby tree trunk. The bark peeled off, revealing the white wood underneath, and some sap oozed out. Everything seemed so real.
Kurama asked in confusion, "How exactly was this done?"
The Guardian Beast immediately rushed to answer, "Haha, it's amazing, isn't it? This is Illusion, and the power of Illusion created this environment. The chakra needed to maintain it is provided by us ourselves, and to reduce consumption, it's said that we also utilized something called the rule of 'observation determines existence'."
"Simply put, all of these things are—"
—fake. Only when you apply influence to these things with your power will Illusion's power turn them real. This way, we don't need to expend energy to maintain all the environmental consumption. But this required the cooperation of this old man! We tried many times before finally completing it!"
Hearing this, Kurama's eyes slightly narrowed. The application of Illusion had reached this level. This had already surpassed the ninjas' understanding of Illusion, and ninjas generally wouldn't even study the application of Illusion. This little brat was indeed somewhat unusual.
After a period of silence, Kurama looked at Wujie and asked, "Do you know this old man's name?"
Wujie thought for a moment, then decided to answer. He said, "It's Kurama." Kurama looked at the Guardian Beast, and the Guardian Beast hurriedly shook its head, indicating it wasn't him who said it.
Wujie continued, "We don't covet the power of the Tailed Beasts. As long as our goal is achieved, we will find a way to restore your freedom, or... if we die on the way, it won't be long before you gain freedom too."
Kurama asked, "When a Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast dies. How will you restore this old man's freedom?"
The Guardian Beast was startled. It seemed to have a déjà vu. This question seemed to have been asked before.
"Illusion, or perhaps to capture another Tailed Beast. I heard the Three-Tails seems to only have instinct..." Hearing this, the Guardian Beast's eyes immediately became round and wide. It stammered, "How on earth did I offend you?!"
After a period of silence, Kurama's figure slowly disappeared into the forest. Its voice also came at this moment, "Do as you please. This old man is already tired of all this. You just take care of yourselves, and don't expect this old man to actively help you."
The Guardian Beast watched Kurama's disappearing back, then pointed at it, turned to Wujie, and said, "Kurama is being arrogant."
As soon as it finished speaking, with a thump, a large tree instantly flew out, directly knocking away most of the Guardian Beast's body...
Wind and sand gathered. The recovered Guardian Beast immediately yelled loudly at Kurama in the forest, "Dead fox! What are you doing, you bastard! Are you looking for a fight?!"
Wujie and Xiangyan exchanged a smile, then left the Guardian Beast, who wanted to fight, and returned to reality.
The attitude of Yin Kurama was much gentler than Yang Kurama's. When it appeared in the Fourth Great Ninja War, it directly cooperated with Minato to enter the Kurama Chakra Mode. It seemed that in those years sealed within the Reaper, it had worn away some of its animosity.
