In the Thousand Hand Clan's large residence, Miki and Tsunade sat opposite each other.
"So, what is it?" Tsunade asked, eating her breakfast.
The Thousand Hand Clan's breakfast was a bit simple.
Bread and milk—this wasn't very Senju, but it was very Hokage.
When Miki reached out, a pile of insects crawled onto the table, nibbling on the bread and drinking the milk.
Miki had already eaten breakfast, but she couldn't waste food.
Tsunade's eyelids twitched as she watched; she wouldn't eat insects even if it killed her.
"Your body can move freely now, right?" Miki asked.
"Mm." Tsunade responded, taking small bites of her bread.
"Then we can start special training." Miki tapped the table, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at Tsunade.
"Special training?" Tsunade looked at Miki, puzzled.
"You didn't think becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki meant the end of things, did you?"
"Isn't Mito supposed to teach me?" Tsunade voiced her question.
"Mito is old; she doesn't have the energy to fuss with you," Miki said. "Also, what do you think the Nine-Tailed is? A cute little animal with nine tails?"
"I know! I know!" Tsunade bit off a large piece of bread angrily, her cheeks puffed out as she said, "Special training, right? Just do it. Now?"
"Yes, now, eat quickly!" Miki urged, "Stop dawdling."
Just then, a female voice rang out, and Mito walked in, saying, "I heard that, Mushi-Hime."
Miki looked at Mito and said, "Aren't you going to rest a bit longer?"
"I've rested long enough. I need to get up and move my body, or else I'll rust," Mito said, pulling out a chair at the table and sitting down.
"You're so old; don't get sick," Miki said.
"I won't..." Mito said, "I've never been sick."
"Me too," Tsunade said, "My body is perfectly fine."
Miki glanced at Tsunade.
Idiots don't get sick.
But she didn't say it aloud.
Tsunade had Uzumaki and Senju blood, and in terms of physique, no one in the entire Konoha could surpass her.
Even without special abilities like the Adamantine Sealing Chains, her inherently tenacious physique was enough to subdue the Nine-Tailed.
Moreover, Tsunade had a significant advantage: she understood seals.
"Do you know this seal?" Miki asked.
Referring to the Nine-Tailed's seal.
Tsunade nodded and said, "Such a simple thing, I learned it ages ago."
Hearing this, Mito glanced at the smug Tsunade but didn't expose her.
"That's good, eat quickly," Miki urged.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and ate unhurriedly.
"If you don't want to eat, you don't have to," Miki said coldly.
"Eh, I want to, and you can't tell me what to do." Tsunade grinned cheekily, sticking out her tongue and making a face.
Miki stood up. Seeing this, Tsunade shivered and became nervously vigilant.
"Really, don't be so rowdy first thing in the morning. Are you trying to tear the house down again?" Mito said, scolding Tsunade, "Hurry up, don't dawdle."
"Why don't you say anything to Miki!" Tsunade complained.
"She didn't do anything wrong," Mito said.
Miki sat back down.
Mito continued, "Tsunade, you must be serious and diligent in your special training."
"Mm." Tsunade nodded in response.
That was a given; she wouldn't be lazy or vague about this.
"Oh, about the Nine-Tailed."
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed in the sealing space perked up its ears.
"Tsunade, the Nine-Tailed is very pitiful. You must treat it kindly, be good to it, and try to talk to it more," Mito said.
She herself would chat with the Nine-Tailed whenever, but the Nine-Tailed didn't pay much attention to her.
"I know, Mito," Tsunade replied absently.
As for the Nine-Tailed, if it didn't listen, she'd just beat it.
Meanwhile, in the sealing space, the Nine-Tailed spat, a glob of saliva landing on the water's surface.
