"You guys, are you finished talking?"
Seeing them suddenly coming downstairs, Kushina felt a bit flustered and wanted to clean up the snack wrappers on the table.
But Uchiha Yoichi had already seen it.
Kushina, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Didn't eat much for breakfast, and now it's so late... Hey, Mikota, why are you wearing a mask?"
She wasn't wearing it when she went up, so why is she wearing it now?
"Ahem~, I suddenly found myself catching a cold, so I borrowed a mask from Mr. Yoichi, otherwise, I might infect others...."
Mikota said, blushing, not knowing how to explain her swollen lips without the mask.
Uzumaki Kushina advised worriedly, "I see, if you're not feeling well, then maybe you shouldn't eat cold stuff...."
It is indeed quite late now; it was just after ten when Uchiha Yoichi and Mikota went upstairs, and now it's already three in the afternoon, so they completely missed lunch.
"It was my oversight, we discussed things for a bit long today. Usually, we eat out, should've ordered lunch.... How about we go now?"
Uchiha Yoichi looked at the snack bags on the table; he wasn't sure if Kushina was full, and if she was hungry, they could order more.
"No need, I'm not very hungry either; I'll just go home and make dinner later..... Have you finished talking?"
Kushina asked hesitantly, thinking to herself that the two must have eaten upstairs; she heard them eating popsicles when she went up, so they surely had other things too.
"Ah.. hmm, it's done, done talking, and I have... some things at home, so I'll go back first, Kushina."
After Mikota said this, she couldn't help but cough twice, then walked out holding her chest; she wanted to handle herself properly before Fugaku came back in the afternoon.
Watching Mikota walk out of Uchiha Yoichi's house, Kushina turned her head, wondering if Mikota was walking unsteadily because she was hungry.
"Don't look, sorry about today, taking up so much of your time; but I knew there was a lot to talk about, which is why I let you speak first, and you're still so polite...."
Uchiha Yoichi took two bottles of drinks from the fridge, sat down on the sofa, and gulped both down; he had been a bit drained just now—Madam Mikota had absorbed his essence, greatly depleting his strength.
Kushina reluctantly withdrew her hand from taking a drink; she wasn't really thirsty, just thought two bottles should be one for each.
But she wasn't thirsty, so after sitting down, she glanced around and asked, "Is everything okay here?"
"Well, Minami stays here too, so trust her Barrier Jutsu a bit."
Uchiha Yoichi said, there might not be a big Barrier Jutsu, but an obstruction wouldn't be a problem.
Outside, the ninjas only knew how many people were inside; if they were allowed to see what he was doing, Uchiha Yoichi would beat up those Anbu outside.
Kushina asked puzzled, "How did you manage to enter my sealing space from so far away yesterday?"
"Your Chakra is very conspicuous, and with some special support, it can be done; but rest assured, I only have less than a month, after that it won't be possible."
When Uchiha Yoichi said this, he felt it was a pity; such a good ability, if only it could be permanently solidified.
Infinite trial and error, infinite simulation, it could create infinite possibilities in the dream space.
"I was just curious, not really concerned with that..."
Kushina muttered, then, with a slightly serious face, asked, "Last night you said you could help me train to control the Tailed Beast power, is that true?"
"You already know the method for training to control Tailed Beast power, what I can do is back you up!"
Uchiha Yoichi said, "Constantly snatching the Nine-tailed Chakra, then using your Chakra to bind the Nine-tailed Chakra, you probably seized quite a bit of Chakra last night, did you feel any burden using it?"
"Not a bit of burden, it feels like the will of the Nine-tails is stripped away, and it's exactly like my Chakra.... just a bit tired after using it."
Kushina said, she could even store that Chakra in her body to use whenever needed.
Uchiha Yoichi said, "When you seize the Tailed Beast Chakra, you're just worried about the Nine-tails rampaging and the negative emotions in the Tailed Beast Chakra, I can help you with these two concerns, you just need to focus on seizing the Chakra, don't tell me you can't do even this."
"As long as the Nine-tailed's Chakra decreases, even if it wants to rampage, it can't."
"Of course I can do it, seizing Chakra is all..."
Then Kushina, a bit embarrassed, asked, "If it's really like this, then controlling the Tailed Beast power isn't hard at all.... but why are you helping me so much, I, I already have Minato...."
"What are you talking about?"
Uchiha Yoichi gave Kushina a glance and snorted, "I'll be charging you, no matter how much Nine-tailed Chakra you absorb, I want four times the Chakra you absorb!"
"So expensive? No, so extortionate!"
Hearing the amount of Chakra Uchiha Yoichi wanted, Kushina became a bit anxious; according to this, she would have to absorb five portions of Chakra to keep one for herself.
"What's expensive? If you find it expensive, you can train by yourself, you've experienced the negative emotions of Nine-tailed Chakra and the Tailed Beast rampages, if you train by yourself, you can get five portions of Chakra."
Uchiha Yoichi shrugged, "I'm not forcing you for the Nine-tailed Chakra, I'm taking all the risks, you're just absorbing Chakra and yet you find it expensive? I haven't even asked for ten portions!"
