The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Jiang Nan seemed to have thought of something fun again, and quietly watched as the Nine-Tails condensed its Tailed Beast Ball.

"Nine-Tail, have you ever watched Tom and Jerry? I loved watching it when I was little. Back then, we didn't have a computer at home, so I would sit in front of the TV every day and watch the cartoon that the channel broadcast on time. Also, when I was in kindergarten, the teacher often played Tom and Jerry! I remember one episode was particularly funny..."

Jiang Nan's body slowly floated up and landed on the Tailed Beast Ball, then steadily stepped on it.

The nine-tailed creature was below, its head tilted back and mouth open, its nine tails standing upright.

This is providing chakra for the Tailed Beast Ball.

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball reached its limit and was about to explode.

Jiang Nan jumped lightly.

Then it gently fell again.

"Behold my Thousand-Pound Drop!"

The Tailed Beast Ball seemed to be subjected to several times the force of gravity, falling instantly and landing directly in Kurama's mouth, but getting stuck in its throat.

"Woo!"

The Nine-Tails was pinned to the ground.

"Oh dear, it's too big, it's getting stuck in your throat. Let me help you again."

Jiang Nan lifted her leg and stomped lightly.

They forced the Nine-Tails to swallow the Tailed Beast Ball.

"It slid down in a flash, but it's about to explode!"

Jiang Nan gently clasped his hands together, and the nine-tailed fox's mouth immediately closed.

Then he was held tightly by the dead Jiang Nan.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Nine-Tails felt as if its mouth was locked by a tremendous force, clamped tightly like an iron clamp, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not open it.

"Woooo!!"

The Tailed Beast Ball inside the Nine-Tails' belly is about to explode.

It had swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball before, but that was its way of attacking to enhance its power.

The Tailed Beast Ball explodes inside its stomach while the mouth opens, unleashing all its power at a single point.

Then it forms a huge beam of light, and this concentrated explosion is even more terrifying than the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, at this moment, Kurama's mouth was not open, so all the power of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion had to be borne by its belly.

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) understood the terror of its Tailed Beast Ball, knowing that if it exploded inside its stomach, it would be utterly destroyed.

I need to find a hole to release myself.

The mouth was locked, but there was another hole in the back, though it was too small.

"boom!"

It exploded!!!

Chapter 71, Infinite Tsukuyomi

The terrifying explosive force stretched the Nine-Tails' belly to an enormous size.

The head and tail appeared unusually small at this moment.

Nine-Tails felt like it was going to break.

"Tsk tsk!!"

Jiang Nan smiled, but looked helpless.

Nine-Tails felt dizzy, with black smoke billowing from its ears and nostrils.

The mouth was firmly fixed in place.

His face showed an expression of utter despair.

The Nine-Tails absorbed all the power of the explosion.

It's thanks to the tailed beasts' good physique that they survived; otherwise, they would have been dead long ago.

Jiang Nan slowly released his grip.

A plume of black smoke emerged from the Nine-Tailed Fox's mouth.

Nine-Tailed Fox lay on the ground, its tail drooping, clearly in great discomfort.

Jiang Nan slowly descended from the sky to the ground.

"How's it going, Nine-Tails! Is it fun?"

"Damn it, who are you?!"

The Nine-Tails' voice was weaker and more feeble than ever before.

Jiang Nan: "So, how's my suggestion going?"

"I refuse. Even if I, Nine-Tails, die today, even if you kill me, even if the Six Paths Elder comes, I will never become your Jinchūriki again..."

Jiang Nan was clearly still having fun, his face still beaming with a joyful smile.

"Okay, I love your competitive spirit! I hope you won't be begging for mercy later."

Nine-Tailed Fox gave a soft snort.

He had an expression that said, "You can hit me or scold me all you want, but I'm not going to listen."

Jiang Nan approached the Nine-Tails and placed his hand on its head.

"Let's play in this fake real world together! My trick is no less powerful than Infinite Tsukuyomi. By the way, foxes seem to be canines..."

……

……

Skyscrapers, gleaming lights—humans seem to be the masters of the world, dominating it and dancing joyfully. They also dominate other creatures, treating them like their pets.

In the bustling city, countless stray cats and dogs rummage through garbage cans for food.

In this world, stray cats and dogs not only have to avoid some evil humans, but also some organizations that specialize in catching stray cats and dogs, and even more so, some perverts who like to catch stray cats and dogs to sterilize them.

In the world of stray cats and dogs, humans are a very scary creature.

They truly exerted every ounce of their strength to survive, remaining vigilant for any movement around them.

They will run away at the slightest disturbance.

Sometimes they envy pets with owners, at least they have enough to eat and sleep in, unlike them who often go hungry.

A red canine creature is one of the city's homeless.

It mingled among stray dogs and cats, struggling to survive.

Its name is Nine-Tailed Fox, but because it has nine tails, the wanderers around it prefer to call it Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nine-Lama didn't care about the title, after all, the homeless could die at any moment in any corner of the city.

A name is just a label.

As usual, Kurama went alone that day, preparing to find food in the trash can.

If you're lucky, you might find some leftovers; if you're unlucky, you'll go hungry again today.

Sometimes Kurama (the Nine-Tails) dreams that he is an extremely powerful being in a world called the Ninja World. He is thirty or forty meters tall and can destroy the world with a simple wave of his tail. Humans are afraid of him. In the first half of the dream, he lives a carefree and happy life. Later, he is imprisoned. After that, the dream becomes more and more blurry, and Kurama can no longer remember it.

Sometimes dreams can become confused with reality, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) might feel that he is the tailed beast capable of destroying the world.

But when he woke up from the dream, he was still the weakest homeless person in the city.

They have to scavenge for food in the garbage every day, getting themselves all dirty, and avoid humans to prevent being harmed.

After rummaging through the trash can, Nine-Tails was lucky enough to find a bone with some bits of meat still attached to it.

This meal is settled.

"Oh dear, oh dear! Isn't that Kurama, the Tailed Beast? What's going on here! He's eating garbage here."

Teasing voices rang out.

The nine-tailed fox instantly became alert, clenching the bone in its mouth very tightly.

The people in this city are very dangerous. There may be some who seem kind, but you never know if a malicious intent is hidden beneath that kind facade.

Jiang Nan looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox, who was guarding its food like a wild dog.

"Tsk tsk tsk!!! I still prefer your unruly side, and I hope you can keep it up."

Nine-Tails kept retreating, its eyes fixed on Jiang Nan, who was smiling.

After retreating into the shadows, Nine-Tails turned and ran.

Nine tails swayed behind it, and soon the red figure disappeared.

Jiang Nan stood still, his smile unchanged.

……

……

The Nine-Tailed Fox, carrying a bone in its mouth, hid in a dark alley. When it saw that the human hadn't followed, the Nine-Tailed Fox breathed a sigh of relief.

"That person seems to know me. No, no, no, humans are dangerous creatures. How could I possibly know a human!"

Suddenly, Kurama sensed something was wrong.

There were lingering scents from other dogs in the vicinity.

This is the territory of other dogs, and not just one dog, but a whole pack.

Even the homeless at the very bottom of this city are part of a group.

Stray dogs and stray cats each have their own groups.

These groups tend to occupy some garbage dumps where supplies are plentiful, since food resources are limited, and if they give their food to other homeless people, they will go hungry.
