As the Nine-Tails' chakra entered his body, Ryun immediately opened the Nine Revolutions Seal within him. Sinister, blood-red chakra began pouring into it continuously.
"Ryun, you... are you extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra?" Kushina asked cautiously.
"Yes, the Nine-Tails' chakra is useful to me. Moreover, this weakens it, which is beneficial for your current condition," Ryun explained briefly, not avoiding the fact that the Nine-Tails inside her could hear.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the Nine-Tails immediately withdrew the chakra that was leaking out. This caused the chakra absorption actions of Samehada and Ryun to halt.
"Hmph, you beast. Cooperating nicely was too much to ask, you'd rather suffer..."
Ryun snorted coldly, then his spiritual force once again broke into the Nine-Tails' seal space.
Arriving before the Nine-Tails, he floated steadily in front of it. His sinister, evil Mangekyō Sharingan began to slowly rotate in the next moment.
Trussed up tightly, the Nine-Tails couldn't avoid the direct gaze of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Its pair of violent vertical pupils soon transformed into the spiral pattern of the Sharingan.
As its eyes changed, Ryun directly extended a hand. A sealing chain formed from chakra brutally stabbed into the Nine-Tails' heart and began forcibly extracting its power in the next instant!
Since Ryun dared to say he needed its chakra right in front of it, the Nine-Tails had to give it, whether it wanted to or not!
As the rough actions within the seal space commenced, a large amount of blood-red chakra once again emerged from Kushina's body. This chakra was then devoured by the Samehada blade, ultimately being fed back to Ryun.
This process continued for several hours. It only stopped when Kushina finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep, and the Samehada blade showed clear signs of impatience. Ryun then ceased plundering the Nine-Tails' chakra.
The ninth cell of his internal Nine Revolutions Seal wasn't completely filled, but he stopped due to mental fatigue.
Ryun fed a bit of his own chakra to Samehada as a reward, then gently placed Kushina on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
He initially thought about leaving to rest in his own room for a while, but then he remembered Kushina saying earlier that she wanted to sleep together...
In the next moment, Ryun quietly slipped under the covers...
Whether intentional or not, shortly after Ryun got into bed, Kushina seemed to treat him as a hug pillow, wrapping herself tightly around him.
The girl's fragrance filled Ryun's senses, constantly stimulating his nerves. However, feeling the still-developing softness of Kushina, he could only forcefully suppress his restless heart...
Smelling that familiar scent, the previously agitated Nine-Tails within her also fell into a strange silence. Kushina rarely slept in until noon.
After waking up, she didn't find Ryun beside her, but the faint, lingering scent around her proved that he had been sleeping with her not long ago.
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed with shyness. She roughly checked her body, then hurriedly got up and changed clothes.
Soon, Kushina smelled the aroma of food, and Ryun's voice sounded at just the right moment.
"Time to eat..."
"Oh, coming..." Kushina quickly responded and then scurried to the dining table.
"Last... last night I was too tired, I accidentally fell asleep..." Kushina mumbled while eating the delicious food.
"Hmm..." Ryun ate his food and casually hummed in acknowledgment.
"Well... that... last night we... did we sleep together..." Kushina peeked at Ryun, her face red as she asked in a small voice.
"Hmm?" Ryun instinctively looked at her, but seeing her shy appearance, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Weren't you the one who asked me to sleep with you?" Ryun didn't deny it; instead, he admitted it openly.
"Uh... that... well... you didn't... take advantage while I was sleeping... did you..." Kushina's voice grew quieter, and her face turned as red as a big tomato.
"Take advantage???"
Ryun was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, his thoughts quickly returning to that wonderful morning.
A lone man and woman sleeping together; some touching and groping was inevitable. After all, he wasn't some honest guy...
But for the sake of his image, Ryun decisively denied it outright and even claimed that Kushina was the one who had been misbehaving...
"No... on the contrary, you were the one clinging to me all morning, like an octopus. I could barely even turn over..."
"Ah..." Kushina exclaimed in surprise, then her brain started working rapidly, carefully recalling. She did seem to have slept soundly holding a soft, warm 'hug pillow'... Remembering this, her cheeks flushed red again.
"Then you probably didn't sleep well, right? Do you want to go sleep for a while later?" Kushina asked with an apologetic smile, her mood seeming quite good.
"No need. Sleeping with you felt... pretty good actually..." Ryun said with a half-genuine, half-feigned smile.
That sleep was a mix of agony and bliss, but overall it was good. At the very least, he was willing to continue...
Hearing this, Kushina felt delighted inside. Blushing, she lowered her head and could only use eating to hide her shyness.
Some time later, after Kushina finished eating, while they were drinking tea and chatting in the living room, Ryun brought up his plan to go out training again.
"When are you leaving..." Kushina asked, full of reluctance.
She knew Ryun wouldn't stay in Konoha for long. The reason he came back this time was because he was worried about her safety and the Nine-Tails.
"Tomorrow..." Ryun thought for a moment before giving his answer.
"No, you... spend one more day with me. Leave the day after tomorrow..." Kushina grabbed his arm and urgently pleaded.
"Hmm... Okay, I'll listen to you." Ryun hummed in agreement, then smiled and rubbed her head.
During their time alone together afterwards, Ryun also continued the unfinished task from the previous night. Taking up the Samehada blade, he began a new round of chakra extraction.
Under the control of multiple seals, Sage Art chakra, and the Sharingan, the Nine-Tails was 'obedient' to an extreme, allowing Ryun to continuously draw on its origin power.
Its large, robust fox body also became emaciated under the Samehada blade's frenzied devouring!
Finally, the largest cell within Ryun's seal reached saturation, and he stopped the plundering of the Nine-Tails.
The amount of chakra the Nine-Tails possessed was far greater than he had imagined. He originally estimated he could extract about twenty percent of its chakra, but it turned out he only managed to extract about fifteen percent before the ninth cell couldn't hold any more!
"The chakra quantity of a complete Nine-Tails is truly astonishing. The combined chakra of ten Two-Tails probably wouldn't match that of one Nine-Tails..."
Ryun instinctively compared the Two-Tails and the Nine-Tails, only to find them completely incomparable...
Sighing with emotion, Ryun closed the Nine Revolutions Seal located in his abdominal area. The blood-red chakra that had been swirling around him instantly vanished without a trace.
He had now collected chakra from two tailed beasts. There were still seven tailed beasts' chakra left to collect. The task was undeniably heavy!
However, the most important Nine-Tails chakra had already been collected. Obtaining the chakra of the other tailed beasts would be relatively easier. With his current strength, he wouldn't face much pressure fighting any tailed beast other than the Nine-Tails.
