Chapter 273

Just as Bolafeng Minato and the Third Hokage were discussing Yeyuan Lin, the Bolafeng Minato residence located in the central area of Leaf Village.

Xuanzhou Jiuxinnai was enthusiastically entertaining Yeyuan Lin!

"Lin! Try this… this salt-baked Pacific saury, which I specially prepared for you!"

"Thank you, Kushina-sister!"

Facing the exceptionally enthusiastic Xuanzhou Jiuxinnai, Yeyuan Lin played the role of a good junior and good confidante very well.

"Mmm! Xuanzhou Jiuxinnai-sister's cooking skills are fantastic! The heat is just right, especially the soy sauce added just perfectly."

The whole person was held in Xuanzhou Jiuxinnai's embrace, feeling the other's warmth; Yeyuan Lin, who had suffered insomnia all night last night, began to slowly relax her tense nerves.

"Haha! It's not as amazing as you say!"

Being praised by Yeyuan Lin like that, she somewhat embarrassedly scratched her own head, but the smile splitting the corners of her mouth couldn't be hidden.

"But…"

Constantly praising others may make them happy, but it's only happiness; they won't take it to heart.

A little denial, plus appropriate suggestions, can win respect and make getting along easier.

I wonder if adding a bit of lemon juice would make the flavor more delicious?

Is that so? No wonder I always feel something's missing~

I never expected Lin to be so talented in cooking; I like her more and more.

Holding the poor girl in her arms, Kushina thought of her situation, pity surged, and she fiercely kissed her on the face.

She completely forgot that she herself had the same experience.

And while Kushina and Yeyuan Lin were being affectionate, a long-overdue conversation began through their chakra.

Long time no see, Nine-Tails!

Beside a dark cage, a white turtle the size of a washbasin appeared, greeting the imprisoned huge red figure.

Isobu, how did you come to Leaf Village?

Seeing his little brother, the Nine-Tails, who always considered himself the boss, was somewhat surprised.

I don't know!

I just slept, then came here; after sensing your chakra, I came to check.

As for why it appeared here, it really is confused; how did it suddenly show up in Leaf Village?

Idiot!

The Nine-Tails also had nothing good to say about that.

If you keep this up, always just sleeping, someday you'll die without knowing how!

Uh...

After finally meeting, they're still so cold; this tsundere Nine-Tails' temperament hasn't changed at all!

Isobu, left speechless by a few words from the Nine-Tails, looked at the imprisoned Nine-Tails, thought about its nature, and couldn't help feeling pity.

For him, being sealed inside a jinchuriki's body is just a different place to sleep, not much different.

Even when occasionally awake, observing human joys and sorrows through the jinchuriki's sight is a decent pastime.

But the Nine-Tails doesn't have such a good temper; being locked in such a cage must be quite unpleasant!

You have a familiar scent; it seems you've encountered something extraordinary!

Although sharp-tongued, the Nine-Tails still mobilized its controllable chakra to carefully sense Isobu's condition.

But the other's aura... I seem very familiar with it... however too much time has passed, the aura is too faint, I can't tell.

Hey! So the Nine-Tails also has a name? Nine-Tails... that name doesn't quite fit!

If abnormal chakra entered through Yeyuan Lin's body into one's own, how could Kushina not know?

Just seeing no malice, she pretended not to know; likewise, some necessary attention is indispensable.

This way she could also know in advance whether the strange guest inside Lin is easy to get along with.

Hmph~

Isobu, this idiot, so easily revealed his name, making the Nine-Tails very unhappy.

For someone like Kushina who doesn't even know her own name, it doesn't want to bother; all these descendants of the old man leave it speechless.

To say the Nine-Tails encountered a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths is really terrible luck for eight lifetimes.

One is a beast that toys with it in the palm of his hand, simply not human.

One constantly boasts of being too strong, almost slapping him to death; he wants to retort, who's really strong?

Moreover, the Uzumaki clan, Mito or Kushina, with whom he previously had little contact, all suppressed him to have no temper at all.

What did the Nine-Tails do to provoke anyone?

Are you the new guest inside Lin's body?

Hello! I'm Kushina Uzumaki, you're Isobu, right? May I call you that?

Such a carefree jinchuriki, Isobu has never encountered; for a moment he's somewhat tongue-tied.

Hope you and Lin can get along well; I won't disturb your chat!

Seeing the other seemed not inclined to engage, Kushina wasn't angry; this attitude is already good, but the Nine-Tails' attitude toward her is even worse.

Nine-Tails! This jinchuriki seems quite easy to get along with~

After Kushina left, Isobu curiously watched the direction she disappeared, then spoke to the silent, eyes-closed Nine-Tails.

Easy to get along with?

The Nine-Tails was really made to laugh by his little brother.

Thinking, you haven't seen this woman when she flies into a rage; otherwise you wouldn't think that.

Thinking of that golden chain and his own miserable state then, the Nine-Tails swallowed his retort.

There's no need to tell the other party about this shameful matter.

"Shifu, you should worry about yourself! The aura on you gives me a very bad feeling!"

That gloomy chill seemed like the Uchiha's eye power, yet also not quite, leaving it also confused.

But Shifu, this idiot isn't very good; it still knows that.

"Me? … It doesn't matter; at worst I'll just sleep for a while!"

Regarding the Nine-Tails' warning, Shifu didn't take it to heart; for it, which loves sleep, even if it were killed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

These tailed beasts cannot truly be killed; even if they temporarily lose consciousness, their chakra will still gradually gather.

Let them regain life.

"Do as you please!"
