Uchiha's personal opinion

The two-tailed creature, shrunk to the size of a tiger, was happily devouring beavers one after another; it was a mystery how its stomach could hold meat larger than its own body.

"Yes……"

Under the gaze of the tailed beast, even the cat seemed somewhat timid.

Although they are bound by a summoning contract and will not harm each other, a tailed beast is still a tailed beast, and its nature will not change just because it looks like a big cat.

How many beavers do you catch a month?

Two-Tails Matatabi purred contentedly as he enjoyed Uchiha Tokumitsu's caresses.

"...I don't have a quota of beavers, but I can buy them."

The cat answered somewhat hesitantly.

Matatabi's two tails swayed even more happily.

It felt quite satisfied.

Both are contracted summoned beasts, but this black cat has nothing and has to earn money to buy a beaver, while I can enjoy free high-quality goods as offerings every month. The difference in status and the degree of importance the master attaches to it is self-evident.

While cleaning up the battlefield, the ninja guards watched with envy as the young lord petted the cat.

The strongest member of the Ninja Cat Clan, Nekomata, and Matatabi, one of the Nine Tailed Beasts, serve the same Uchiha ninja... What a blessing!

As Uchiha Tokumitsu stroked the cat, his hand involuntarily condensed into a ball of fire-style energy, which connected with the chakra of the tailed beast Matatabi, which had been transformed into fur.

As the two streams of chakra merged, the newly generated chakra flowed into his body like a warm current, making Uchiha Tokumitsu feel extremely comfortable.

The Two-Tails Matatabi also felt very comfortable. The Flame Release power formed by the fusion of Yin Release and Fire Release produced some subtle but interesting reactions during the fusion with its Tailed Beast Chakra, which made it very much looking forward to it.

"It's somewhat similar to the old man's chakra..."

As the two-tailed Matatabi purred, it closed its eyes and sensed the newly generated chakra power within its body.

Though faint, it is full of vitality.

It even... made Matatabi of the Two-Tailed Beast feel the possibility of transcending that so-called destiny.

"How strange, this brat is clearly not the reincarnation of Indra..."

Sensing the slow increase in power, Uchiha Tokumitsu became even more attentive in grooming the Two-Tails Matatabi's fur.

"Whatever... the old man's bones are all rotten anyway, let whoever wants fate be, if the sky falls, Nine-Tailed Buddha will hold it up~"

Under the warm, comforting influence of chakra, the Two-Tails, Matatabi, lazily yawned widely, stretched out its two front paws, scratched the ground, and said languidly, "A little harder~"

"Okay!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was a cat lover for the first time, worked even harder.

……

"Young Master Deguang, everything is ready."

Uchiha Hakage calmly approached Uchiha Tokumitsu and reported.

Although his expression was solemn, his thick eyebrows and large eyes kept drifting downwards, looking at the Two-Tails Matatabi who was comfortably snoring in Uchiha Tokumitsu's hands.

Shoot the tailed beast...

hateful!

So envious!

"Let's go back to the Void Ruins first."

"Uchiha Tokumitsu gave the order."

"As ordered!"

Uchiha Hatake managed to control his hands thanks to his strong willpower.

"Makoto~"

Unaware of Uchiha Hatake's inner turmoil, Uchiha Tokumitsu, after sensing that the Two-Tails had become much more obedient, smiled and waved to his fiancée, Uchiha Makoto.

Uchiha Makoto had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, wanting to go up and pet the big cat, but he was afraid to go up for the time being because of the power of the tailed beast.

Now that Uchiha Tokumitsu is waving his hand, she immediately runs over.

"Hey~ Youlu, I need to talk to you about something."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said cheerfully.

"Hmm~ Go ahead and say it~"

Nibi Matatabi said lazily.

It opened its eyes and looked at Uchiha Makoto, who was a little timid but full of expectation.

"This is my fiancée, Makoto. Please take good care of her from now on~"

"Uchiha Tokumitsu said."

After saying that, she took Uchiha Makoto's small hand and stroked the Two-Tails Matatabi's neck together.

"She's too weak, so I can't make a psychic contract with her..."

At Uchiha Tokumitsu's instruction, Uchiha Makoto also gathered fire release chakra and stroked the Two-Tails Matatabi's fur, but this immediately caused the two-tailed beast discomfort.

It felt that Makoto Uchiha's Fire Release chakra was prickly, tickling its skin with a numb and itchy sensation, unlike the gentle and comfortable feeling of Tokumitsu Uchiha's Fire Release.

"Maybe it's because of the psychic contract, but whatever..."

Once again reverting to its lazy demeanor, Matatabi continued to purr.

Makoto Uchiha was a little disappointed.

"Then... can Makoto sit here too?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu retreated and sought a different option.

A glimmer of hope returned to Makoto Uchiha's eyes.

The Two-Tails Matatabi opened its eyes again and looked at Makoto Uchiha.

She's a very thin little person; apart from a few pounds of flesh below her neck and above her thighs, the rest of her body is almost all skin and bones...

"It's not that it's impossible, but..."

Nio Matatabi said in a drawn-out tone, "You have to add more beavers for me~"

"Add five more beavers every month!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted the back of the Two-Tails, Matatabi.

"Okay!"

This time, Matatabi Nibi readily agreed.

Uchiha Makoto immediately cheered and was lifted onto the back of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Ready to go back to the Void Ruins~"

At this moment, the guards had completed their retreat preparations.

The Land of Frost is, after all, one of the vassal states of the Land of Lightning and also belongs to the traditional sphere of influence of the Hidden Cloud Village. In addition, although the Uchiha Fire Formation was used as a shield during the battle with the Two-Tails, the commotion was still very large.

Even though the main force of Kumogakure had been mobilized to the eastern coast to fight the attacking Kirigakure revenge ninja army, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not want to get into trouble.

After all, the Cloud Village, who feel they've suffered a great loss if they don't gain any advantage, can be very troublesome when they get entangled with you.

Led by the ninja cat clan, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Makoto rode away on their tailed beasts, while the ninja guards cleaned up the traces of their retreat route.

It wasn't until half a month later that a team of Cloud Village ninjas hurriedly arrived to investigate.

However, even after the ninja guards processed the information, this group of Cloud Village ninjas did not find any useful information.

"Lord Brubi, no trace of information was found at the scene..."

A Cloud Village ninja timidly reported to the two-colored-haired ninja leading the team.

"Such a large battleground, and there's not a single useful piece of information?"

"I questioned him with a gloomy face."

"No useful information was found..."

The Cloud Village ninja's voice grew softer and softer, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Humph!"

Brubi snorted coldly, then waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates.

He looked around; the place was full of devastation.

Even the solid ice that never melts has melted in the battle, revealing the eroded and pitted bedrock inside.

The once massive, millstone-sized rocks that once covered the ground have now been reduced to fragments.

Such a large battlefield could either be a large-scale ninja army operation or a clash of powerful ninjutsu; it could never be the force of nature.

Brubi would rather believe that an island could grow naturally in the sea than believe that what he was seeing had nothing to do with ninjas.

Therefore, the biggest clue is the absence of any trace!

"Who else in the ninja world can handle battle traces so perfectly?"

Brubi casually pulled over a Cloud Village ninja and asked.

"This... sir, we, as well as the elite ninja forces or ANBU of the other four major ninja villages, should be able to do it."

To the Cloud Village ninjas, the gloomy-faced Furu was as terrifying as a demon.

"Other ninja villages... Hmph!"

Brubi waved his hand, dismissing the Cloud Village ninja, and activated his senses to investigate.

Although he is not a ninja skilled in sensory perception, he has his own unique skills.

"Ox-demon... have you sensed anything unusual?"

Brubi silently calmed his mind and communicated with the tailed beast within his body.

Burubi is not only one of the elite Jonin of the current Kumogakure, but also the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails Gyūki!

Moreover, after becoming a Jinchūriki, Burubi underwent rigorous training and was able to freely draw upon and use the power of the Eight-Tails. The difference in strength between him and the Two-Tails Jinchūriki who was besieged and killed by Uchiha Tokumitsu in the Land of Waterfall was like heaven and earth.
