"Come on, lift up your clothes."
Shishou smiled at Yugito as they were pulled into a room on the third floor by Yugito.
Before letting Yugito learn the art of immortality, he planned to first help her tame the Two-Tails inside her, making her a perfect Jinchuriki.
By doing so, Yugito's strength should greatly increase, directly reaching the Kage level.
So, he needed Yugito to reveal her lower abdomen to check the seal.
"Shishou, Mabui and Samui are still outside... Wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
Not knowing Shishou's intentions, Yugito's cheeks flushed, thinking he wanted to be intimate with her again, feeling a bit shy.
However, despite her words, Yugito, with a blushing face, still reached for her waist, ready to untie her belt.
Facing the man she loved, even if his request seemed a bit excessive, Yugito would still choose to comply.
Because she truly liked Shishou, so much that she was willing to do anything for him.
"Uh..."
Seeing Yugito's actions, Shishou was momentarily stunned, then he laughed and said,
"What are you thinking?"
"I just want you to show your belly so I can check your tailed beast seal."
"I want to help you become a perfect Jinchuriki before letting you learn the art of immortality."
"Or is it that you had something else in mind?"
At this, Shishou teased Yugito a bit.
The next second, he saw Yugito's face turn beet red, spreading to her ears, making her look like she was steaming with embarrassment.
Yugito, feeling both ashamed and awkward, looked down, unable to meet Shishou's eyes, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"You... you should have said that earlier..."
Yugito covered her burning cheeks and glared at Shishou, wishing she could bite him.
Then, with a red face, she lifted her clothes, revealing her flawless white belly.
Seeing Yugito's shy reaction, Shishou stifled his laughter, reaching out to touch her navel.
A seal in the shape of a '回' appeared around her navel, against her white skin and blushing face, presenting a deadly allure...
Damn...
Seeing the seal patterns on Yugito's abdomen, Shishou's breath hitched, and a fire ignited within him.
Suppressing the urge to pounce on her, Shishou began to explain the method to become a perfect Jinchuriki.
To become a perfect Jinchuriki, one must reconcile with their tailed beast.
Before this, a Jinchuriki could defeat and control the tailed beast within their subconscious space to gain its power.
This was the method Killer B had taught Naruto, known as the 'tug of war.'
Shishou believed that with his suppression and assistance, it should be easy for Yugito to tame the Two-Tails, Matatabi.
"Reconcile, huh..."
Yugito muttered to herself upon hearing Shishou's explanation.
Although she got along well with Matatabi now, it was hard to say she didn't hold any grudges due to her experiences as a Jinchuriki.
However, thinking that it was because of Matatabi that she met Shishou, Yugito felt relieved and even started to feel grateful.
Compared to the happiness of being with Shishou, the hardships she had endured seemed trivial.
Moreover, she was trapped with Matatabi, and Matatabi was also trapped with her.
She hated Matatabi, and Matatabi probably hated her too.
Thinking this, Yugito looked up at Shishou and said with a smile,
"Shishou, I want to try talking to Matatabi first."
Even if she failed, Shishou would surely find a way to save her.
Yugito was certain of this in her heart.
Hearing Yugito's words, Shishou fell silent.
He believed he had enough means to make Matatabi submit to Yugito.
There was no need for Yugito to take risks, but her determined expression made him hesitate.
After a while, Shishou finally spoke,
"I will always be by your side."
Hearing this, Yugito smiled brightly, "Okay."
Then, she took a deep breath, reached out, and touched her seal.
The seal was lifted!
As the seal was lifted, Yugito closed her eyes, leaned against Shishou, and entered her subconscious space.
What a pity...
Seeing the disappearing seal patterns around Yugito's navel, Shishou sighed, feeling like he lost something precious.
Immediately, he placed his hand on Yugito, his Mangekyō Sharingan ready, prepared to assist her at any moment.
Inside Yugito's subconscious space.
Matatabi, seeing the disappearing seal cage and Yugito in front of it, chuckled softly.
"It seems you no longer hate me."
"So you knew all along. I thought I hid it well," Yugito smiled as she approached the giant Matatabi.
Since Killer B told her that to become a perfect Jinchuriki, she needed to get along with her tailed beast, Yugito had hidden her hatred for Matatabi, gradually showing her kindness and trying to get along.
After long efforts, she managed to get along decently with Matatabi, allowing her to freely use its power.
However, she only hid her hatred and never got rid of it, preventing her from fully trusting Matatabi and becoming a perfect Jinchuriki.
Matatabi, resting its head on its crossed forelegs, looked at the tiny Yugito in front of it and smiled, "Do you think you can win against me?"
"I can't beat you now, but I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Yugito smiled at Matatabi, believing Shishou would keep his word and always stay by her side.
As long as Shishou was with her, she had no fear.
"Matatabi."
Yugito called out to Matatabi again, smiling,
"Thank you for not exposing me all these years."
"And thank you for leading me to Shishou."
Saying this, Yugito hugged Matatabi's foreleg.
Seeing Yugito hugging it without any guard, Matatabi raised its right paw, its expression fluctuating.
Because of Yugito, it had been sealed for many years.
However, recalling the little girl crying alone at her parents' grave because of it, Matatabi sighed in its heart.
Yugito hoped to become a perfect Jinchuriki like Killer B, and Matatabi naturally hoped to have a companion like Eight-Tails.
"Hmph!"
Matatabi placed its paw on Yugito, snorted, and said,
"Let's see if you can withstand my negative emotions first."
As soon as it finished speaking, Matatabi's chakra surged into Yugito, forming a layer of azure blue cloak around her.
Yugito's mind was flooded with various negative emotions.
Rage, anger, indifference, hatred, and arrogance...
