boom!

Using the strength of its tail, the three-tailed creature suddenly flipped over, and a large amount of lake water rushed directly onto the shore.

"who are you?"

Sanwei opened its slightly swollen, red eye wide and stared intently at Moxi.

Mo Xi put her hands on her hips and said, "Remember, my name is Mo Xi. It's a waste that you're so big; you didn't even know you were being beaten up at home."

"They ambushed me! Humans have no patience!"

The Three-Tails was very angry and somewhat indignant.

"So who would tell you before they hit you, 'I'm going to hit you'? You need to be careful!"

Mo Xi rolled her eyes.

Sanwei was somewhat depressed, as it often slept for days at a time, sometimes even a month.

How could I possibly stay alert all the time and not sleep?

Seemingly sensing Three-Tail's depressed mood, Mo Xi jumped onto Three-Tail's head and patted it, saying, "Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on. If anyone bullies you again, just say my name."

Upon hearing this, the Three-Tails was stunned, and then a strange emotion spread from its heart.

I remember the last person who said something similar to him, it seems to be... the Sage of Six Paths.

"Ha, you're so small, how can you protect me?"

"Didn't you see that I defeated those two guys who bullied you just now? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be in a pot being boiled into soup by now."

"No, I just pretended to faint."

"Stubborn big guy, not cute at all, let's go."

Mo Xi angrily patted the hard armor on the head of the three-tailed beast and jumped down.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course I'll go where I'm supposed to go, since you don't need me to protect you anyway."

The Three-Tails hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why are you helping me? Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Huh? I'll help you out of pity. It's just a big turtle, what's there to be afraid of? If anyone should be afraid, it should be you who's afraid of me."

Sanwei had considered that the other party might have ulterior motives or other reasons for helping her, but she never expected the answer to be like this.

Do you think it's... pitiful?

This is the first time someone has spoken to it like this, treating it as an equal, rather than as a monster or something else.

And it can sense that the other party is sincere and is not deceiving it.

This feeling is very mysterious; it has no basis whatsoever, but it's something you can just know.

"Wait a moment..."

"Hmm? What's wrong now? Are you missing your sister? Haha."

Mo Xi was as insignificant as a tiny insect in front of the Three-Tailed Fox, yet she dared to call herself "older sister"—that's just unbelievable.

However, the Three-Tails suddenly hesitated for a moment, then gently tapped its large head. "Can you stay? You're the first person in all this time to truly communicate with me as an equal..."

Even the perfect Jinchūriki, Yagura, actually tried to communicate with it in order to borrow its power, which is completely different.

"I'm not human, you know. I'm a cursed spirit, currently residing in the body of some bastard. So I can't stay here. I'll come back to see you if I have the chance later. Oh, by the way, this place isn't safe anymore. I think you should find a new habitat."

The three-tailed creature remained hidden at the bottom of the lake, completely unaware of the difference between humans and cursed spirits.

But it understood that Mosie still decided to leave.

Suddenly I felt a little lost.

"It's no use. Since these humans were able to find me once, they will find me no matter where I run."

"Then fight back! Whoever gives you trouble, beat them up!"

"I...I can't beat them!"

The Three-Tails spoke out, feeling very aggrieved.

That's the truth. Although the Tailed Beasts are powerful, they have always been merely tools and weapons of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Because the Kage of each village are beings more powerful than the Tailed Beasts, they are able to seal them within the Jinchūriki.

Therefore, once found, escape is almost impossible.

[Chapter 391: An Egg Was Laid]

Mo Xi was also at a loss regarding what Sanwei had said.

After all, where can you hide something that's so big?

If they had been able to hide it, they wouldn't have been found this time.

"What should I do?"

Moxi was indeed worried about Sanwei, and Sanwei could also see that.

So it suddenly said, "Why don't you become my jinchūriki?"

"Huh? What is that?!"

"You will become my jinchūriki and seal me inside your body. That way, you can take me away and I will never be found by anyone else. I believe you are different from everyone else."

Mo Xi was stunned; she hadn't expected the other party to say that.

I treat you like a pet turtle, and you want to merge with me?

"No, no, no! I've already told you, I'm a cursed spirit, not a human. I'm already struggling to take care of myself, how could I possibly let you inhabit my body?!"

"Give it a try, there's no harm in trying."

"I've already said it, I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving."

Rejected once again, the Three-Tails immediately lowered its head in disappointment, looking as aggrieved as a turtle that had been abandoned.

"Don't try that, it won't work on me!"

"Well, goodbye. I hope I can hold on until we meet again. Humans won't let me go. It won't be long before I'm captured and left in a dark, damp space, waiting for the Jinchuriki to remember I exist..."

Mo Xi suddenly gritted her teeth and said irritably, "Did you give up after trying it once?"

Three-tailed Fox quickly nodded its enormous head.

"Then come on, and I'll make you give up."

"Okay, here I come!"

"Hurry up!"

"..."

"what happened?"

"I'm waiting for you to begin."

"I'll start, or shouldn't you start?"

The Three-Tails recalled the process of being sealed into the Jinchuriki's body each time and said clearly, "If I remember correctly, it definitely started with you. You use sealing techniques, I don't resist, and it's over quickly."

The Three-Tailed Fox, with its extensive experience of being sealed, spoke with certainty.

Then the ghost and the cursed spirit began to stare at each other.

"Sealing techniques? I don't know them!"

"I...I don't know either. I'm always the one who gets sealed in. I don't know how to go in on my own."

Well, this is quite a mess!

"Look, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't. You'd better find somewhere else to hide."

"Um..."

The three-tailed creature lay on the lake surface, looking sorrowful.

Moxi left and went ashore, but it remained the same.

Ugh!

Mo Xi couldn't help but sigh, then suddenly asked, "Do any of you know sealing techniques?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, while Shinji carefully put away the [Regeneration Core]. "What for?"

Mo Xi didn't hide anything and told them directly about what had just happened.

"This is outrageous! A cursed spirit becoming a Jinchūriki? How is that possible?"

Shinji rejected it without even thinking.

Isn't this like a nesting doll?

"You think so too? Then forget it."

Suddenly remembering something, Shinji stroked his chin and asked, "You really want to take it with you?"

"I just feel sorry for it... Yes, I want to take it with me, is there any way?"

"There is one, but you should think carefully. Taking this guy away would be a huge problem, and a bunch of people would keep coming after it."

"I'm not afraid!"

"I'm scared!"

The two stared at each other, their eyes wide open.

"You should know how much I hate trouble, so I'll give you one minute to convince me, or just pretend you know nothing."

"59, 58, 57..."

Shinji slowly began to count, while Mo Xi bit her lower lip and looked at the three-tailed beast that was still waiting for her in the same spot.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Mo Xi suddenly shouted very loudly.
