"Even if the ninja villages need the power of the Tailed Beasts, we shouldn't treat them as mere tools. Both sides should cooperate on the basis of mutual understanding. Although the road to such a future is rugged, I believe that the path is winding, but the future is bright."
"Tobirama, you just don't understand the great love in the hearts of the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Makoto sat in his chair, talking eloquently. His mouth was full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality! And he could go on with such beautiful words for a whole day!
"Uchiha Makoto, that's enough. I don't want to waste any more time with you."
"You're just being unreasonable now."
"The Two-Tails must be brought back to Konoha by me and carefully guarded."
Senju Tobirama quickly couldn't listen anymore and pointed his finger at Uchiha Makoto's nose, cursing, his face full of disgust.
Damn beast in fine clothes! A belly full of bad water!
Uchiha Makoto, you dare to talk about the peaceful coexistence of humans and Tailed Beasts? You are the main culprit! Now you even dare to say such high-sounding words in front of me. I know your character, Uchiha Makoto, your whole heart is black... I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Tch~ Lord Hashirama, what's your opinion?"
Uchiha Makoto didn't continue to argue with Senju Tobirama.
He just turned his head and looked at Senju Hashirama.
The real Hokage of Konoha was the one who was looking at Uchiha Madara with deep affection... a mere Shadow Hokage, his words could be treated as farts.
And the words he had just said were not just for the Two-Tails, but also for Senju Hashirama!
That was a pure Will of Fire-style speech! So pure that if he put on a Hokage robe, he could immediately go to Konoha and cosplay as the Hokage!
—Lord Light Shadow, Hokage, in a sense, can be said to be from the same source. If you go back a few hundred generations in the family tree, everyone has the same ancestor!
And hearing Uchiha Makoto call out to Senju Hashirama.
Senju Tobirama couldn't help but tremble inwardly, his expression slightly stiff, and then he also looked at Senju Hashirama.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart—when it comes to the Uchiha, his big brother is famous for siding with outsiders.
And Uchiha Makoto had just said so many high-sounding words, all of which were what his big brother loved to hear.
This is bad!
Just now, Uchiha Makoto... it was on purpose again!
"I think... it's just a cat. If Uchiha Makoto likes it, just let him have it."
"And I really liked what Uchiha Makoto said just now... If possible, I also hope that the ninja villages and the Tailed Beasts can coexist peacefully."
As expected.
Senju Hashirama didn't even show a hint of hesitation. His attitude immediately leaned towards Uchiha Makoto.
The reason was also very simple—in the eyes of ordinary people, even Kage, the Two-Tails was a dangerous beast.
But in front of Senju Hashirama, the Two-Tails was really no different from a house cat. He could pinch the scruff of its neck with just one hand!
And what's to care about a cat?
Since Uchiha Makoto likes it, why not just give it to him... after all, they will all be family in the future!
And...
That high-sounding speech just now also resonated with Senju Hashirama.
He was very pleased that Uchiha Makoto could have such thoughts about the Tailed Beasts... this was something even he hadn't thought of.
"Big brother... you... forget it... then let it be."
"Give the Two-Tails a chance, let it make its own choice."
Senju Tobirama sighed.
He didn't even choose to struggle this time and just nodded directly.
His big brother is an idiot. What can he do?
And it's just the Two-Tails. It doesn't really matter if one is given away.
Senju Tobirama was more just unwilling to let that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Makoto, be proud in front of him.
But... sigh!
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. He was tired.
A look of joy immediately appeared on Uchiha Makoto's face. He then reached out and knocked on the tea jar that sealed the Two-Tails, then lifted the lid.
The Two-Tails sensed the light from above, cautiously poked its head out, and then looked around with its eyes.
Senju Tobirama had a cold face.
Uchiha Madara was immersed in his own world.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Makoto smiled and greeted it.
After observing for a while, the cat quickly made a decision in its heart, once again deepening its stereotype of the four people before it.
That guy, Uchiha Madara, doesn't look like a good person at all. He really has a fierce face.
That guy, Senju Hashirama, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he looks like a good person, he was the one who shouted "Two-Tails, your power is too great. I'm sorry, but I cannot let you act as you please!" when he attacked it this afternoon.
Is this something a human can do?
He almost crushed me to death with just one hand!
Now he must be hiding a dagger behind his smile!
Senju Tobirama, the Two-Tails was not very familiar with him, but from the conversation just now... he should be an accomplice of these two.
And Uchiha Makoto... hmm... his smile is so warm, and he's not a Konoha ninja. He even said so many good things for the Tailed Beasts just now. He was probably coerced by these three ninjas and forced to go along with them!
"Two-Tails, the ninja villages need the power of the Tailed Beasts to maintain peace in the ninja world, so we found you. Now you have two choices: one is to come with me to Konoha, the other is to go with him to Akatsuki Village."
"I promise you, if you go to Konoha, as long as you cooperate with Konoha's actions, Konoha will definitely not make things difficult for you and will give you a proper settlement."
"..."
Senju Tobirama still wanted to try and win it over, promising some preferential treatment to the Two-Tails.
Although his big brother and Uchiha Madara had beaten the Two-Tails severely this afternoon, but what if... what if the Two-Tails liked that feeling?
But in the Two-Tails kitty's ears, these words sounded like the whispers of a demon.
I didn't even do anything, just sunbathing at home, and I was beaten up by you Konoha ninjas. If I really believe you and go to your Konoha, will I have a good life?
How is that possible!
I, the cat... just want to be free now, I want to go home!
But the cat also knew in its heart—the comfortable days of the past are gone forever.
And now there are two choices...
Konoha is definitely not an option. Akatsuki Village is worth considering... but I can't say it myself.
"Uchiha Makoto must also offer some preferential treatment."
"Meow~ I'm not stupid either!"
The Two-Tails kitty thought to itself, but just looked at Uchiha, its meaning obvious: it's your turn to say something.
"Since Tobirama has already made it so clear, I won't say any more nonsense."
"That's right, the ninja villages need the power of the Tailed Beasts... Two-Tails, if you come to Akatsuki Village, you'll have to contribute a little for Akatsuki Village."
"So, I hope you can think it over carefully."
The corners of Uchiha Makoto's mouth couldn't help but curl up as he said with a smile.
He could see at a glance that this little kitty, the Two-Tails, was not honest at all. It had already been reduced to a prisoner, yet it was still playing mind games here!
And this move is called advancing by retreating!
The Two-Tails had been beaten by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in a mixed doubles match this afternoon, until it passed out!
The methods were cruel and violent, and Uchiha Makoto had seen it with his own eyes!
Uchiha Makoto didn't believe—that the Two-Tails still had the guts to go to Konoha!
A business that comes to you is not a business. The little kitty must be the one to proactively propose going to Akatsuki Village.
In this way, it will be smoother to extract its chakra in the future—kitty, you chose this yourself!
"???"
A big question mark appeared above the Two-Tails kitty's head. It clearly hadn't expected Uchiha Makoto to answer this way.
Just now, this stinking man was arguing with Senju Tobirama for its sake. Senju Tobirama had even offered a series of preferential treatments... and you have nothing, you just want me to contribute?
Senju Tobirama was also a little surprised.
Logically, Uchiha Makoto should also, like himself, promise some benefits to the Two-Tails to win it over.
He didn't expect Uchiha Makoto to not promise any benefits at all.
Is this reasonable?
And then... Senju Tobirama noticed the smile on Uchiha Makoto's face.
Uchiha Makoto was smiling again.
And it's never a good thing when this bastard smiles like that.
Senju Tobirama had been screwed by Uchiha Makoto too many times. He was all too familiar with this feeling.
Who's going to be unlucky?
It's unlikely to be me this time... then it's... oh... it's the Two-Tails!
I remember now...
The Tailed Beast collection plan was first proposed by Uchiha Makoto, and this naturally evil Uchiha brat couldn't have proposed such a plan for no reason.
For the sake of peace in the ninja world... this garbage excuse can at most fool my big brother!
He must have had a premeditated plan for a long time, wanting to use the Tailed Beasts to do something!
Senju Tobirama looked at the Two-Tails with pity in his eyes—poor thing, to be targeted by Uchiha Makoto for no reason.
So, with a heart to save the Tailed Beast.
He continued to speak: "Two-Tails, I advise you to come with me to Konoha. It's definitely a good thing for you."
"Don't believe Uchiha Makoto. You'll definitely have a hard time in Akatsuki Village."
And for Senju Tobirama's "slander."
Uchiha Makoto just smiled faintly, looking completely unconcerned—I just want to extract a little Tailed Beast chakra, what's wrong with that!
Anyway, the Tailed Beasts can always recover their chakra.
Not extracting it would be a waste!
And at this time, the Two-Tails kitty's mind was spinning wildly, carefully thinking about what Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Makoto had said.
The treatment in Konoha that Senju Tobirama mentioned sounded pretty good... but it probably wasn't very credible.
And Uchiha Makoto, who didn't play by the rules, didn't say anything to win it over, and very directly stated that the Two-Tails would be needed to contribute to Akatsuki Village... but... it was also very honest!
"Two-Tails, have you thought it over?"
"Are you choosing to go to Konoha or to Akatsuki Village?"
Senju Tobirama thought he had made himself very clear. After giving the Two-Tails a short time to think, he spoke up.
The Two-Tails kitty at this time raised its head and glanced at Senju Hashirama, then at Uchiha Madara. Its mind once again recalled the scene of these two demons beating it up together this afternoon.
Pain!
It was so painful!
It was still hurting now.
No matter what, it couldn't go to Konoha. Even if it had to go to Akatsuki Village and contribute a little there.
In the Two-Tails' view.
How much contribution could a ninja village ask of it?
It was nothing more than wanting to use its power to eliminate enemies.
Uchiha Makoto could eat with these two demons, so his strength must not be weak.
Against weak enemies, he wouldn't need it to act; he could solve it himself.
And against strong enemies, a few Tailed Beast Bombs from it would be enough!
Contribute?
How much contribution could it be!
If I go to Akatsuki Village, the treatment will definitely not be bad!
The Two-Tails kitty thought to itself, and finally said, "Then... I'll go to Akatsuki Village."
"Tch~"
A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Senju Tobirama's face.
Evidently...
He was not at all satisfied with the Two-Tails' choice, but it was also reasonable.
After all, his big brother and Uchiha Madara had been too ruthless. Even he could clearly see the fear of his big brother and Uchiha Madara in the Two-Tails' eyes... It was obvious that the two of them had already traumatized the Two-Tails.
It was not surprising that the Two-Tails chose to go to Akatsuki Village.
But... considering his familiarity with Uchiha Makoto.
Senju Tobirama felt that the Two-Tails would definitely regret it!!
"Two-Tails, have you really thought it through?"
"Once you go, you can't go back on your word. You'll have to contribute to Akatsuki Village."
"Then you must cooperate well. You don't want me to send you back to Konoha and hand you over to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama again, do you?"
Uchiha Makoto did not agree immediately.
Instead, he let the Two-Tails kitty think it over carefully again.
After all, if you go to Akatsuki Village, your chakra will be extracted... if you regret it after you go, you'll have to be dealt with by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama again.
Generally speaking.
In the eyes of the world, a Tailed Beast means disaster, means great power. So in the past, it didn't understand, nor did it need to understand, the ways of the world. If it encountered someone it didn't like, it would just swipe at them with its paw.
But now the ninja world has changed.
It had met two perverted ninjas who could treat it like a house cat and had really traumatized it.
So...
The Two-Tails kitty immediately and obediently raised its little paw and began to promise:
"It's just contributing... meow~ I'll work hard!"
"That's great."
At this time, the smile on Uchiha Makoto's face became even brighter, and he reached out his hand.
A kitty high-five, the contract is sealed!
And then...
Uchiha Makoto picked up the kitty and started scratching its chin, just like how he used to pet cats in his family.
And it was clearly a majestic Tailed Beast.
But the Two-Tails at this time was really like a little kitty, not daring to move, letting Uchiha Makoto have his way with it.
"Endure it... those two big demons are still in front of me."
"The pride of a Tailed Beast... I'm not doing this voluntarily."
"Purr, purr... it's quite comfortable... purr..."
—Two-Tails, don't you have any backbone? You're not a real cat, you're a Tailed Beast!!!
Uchiha Makoto was petting the cat to his heart's content, and Senju Tobirama's red-eye disease flared up again.
He had gone out, been delayed for several days, and had only caught one Two-Tails, which was then hijacked by that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Makoto... wasn't this trip a complete waste!!
Damn it!
Two-Tails... you just wait. You'll have a hard time in the future.
