"This guy actually looks pretty good."
Konan's gaze settled on the Two-Tails, captivated by its remarkable beauty despite its massive form.
Its two straight tails resembled flames—blue streaked with black markings—showing its extremely volatile emotions.
"He's not bad."
Nonou nodded beside her, her expression showing no trace of worry.
Although she wouldn't dare claim she could defeat a Tailed Beast, her faith in Nagato was unwavering.
"How exactly did you choose for me back then?"
Tsunade glanced from the Two-Tails to Kawaki, clearly dissatisfied with Chōmei.
You're clearly biased toward the Two-Tails instead of Chōmei.
"You ungrateful woman."
Before Kawaki could respond, Chōmei's voice erupted from within Tsunade.
Anyone would be unable to bear such blatant disdain.
It didn't choose its own appearance; if anyone was to blame, it'd be the Sage of Six Paths.
All these years, even if Chōmei didn't have any achievements, at least it had suffered through countless hardships!
At the very least, it never once troubled Tsunade.
Forget about the whole "happiness of having wings"—just from the perspective of being gentler and calmer than all other Tailed Beasts, it was undeniably the best among all Tailed Beasts.
Seeing Tsunade's changing expressions, Kawaki instantly realized that this talkative beast had taken the blame for him.
Otherwise, that question really wouldn't have been easy to answer.
"Alright, alright. I'm apologizing."
"I shouldn't have said that."
Tsunade knew she was at fault and reluctantly offered an apology with clear irritation.
"Woman, I can't see your sincerity."
"You've bruised my pride."
Seeing this, Chōmei immediately seized the opportunity without any intention of backing down.
At this moment, Kawaki could clearly feel the pressure rising—his male intuition kicked in.
"Do you want me to give you face or not?"
"You dare talk to me about pride? Are you asking for a beating?"
Tsunade abruptly stood up, startling Kawaki, who couldn't help but admire Chōmei for its audacity.
"What are you getting so angry for?"
Chōmei flapped its wings slightly and moved closer to the edge of the sealing space.
Recalling all those times it had been forcefully pressed to the ground over the years, where was there any self-respect left?
All it felt before Tsunade was fear of being dominated—being a beast sure hasn't been easy!
"Hmph~"
After bringing Chōmei under control with her overwhelming authority, Tsunade sat back down satisfied.
As for the question just moments ago, however, she no longer showed interest in making Kawaki answer.
"Quick look, they're about to start fighting."
Since Tsunade didn't press further, naturally Kawaki had no intention of stirring things up further.
Changing the subject, he turned his gaze back to the barrier.
The standoff between Nagato and the Two-Tails had been going on for a while.
At first, seeing the tiny human standing before it, the Two-Tails had looked upon Nagato with utter contempt.
However, when sensing the powerful chakra within Nagato's body, it truly felt threatened.
This young man's pressure was just as intense as that dark-skinned brute from the Cloud Ninja Village.
Looking around, it discovered—despite breaking free from its seal—it still hadn't truly attained freedom.
It was painfully familiar with barriers—whenever it went on rampages in the Cloud Ninja Village, it often found itself trapped inside them.
"Human, let me out."
The Two-Tails took a small step forward with its left front paw, lowering its head slightly.
That condescending, downward gaze exuded an intense sense of pressure.
Yet this pressure oddly contrasted with its soft tone.
"Pfft~"
"Not a chance. There's no way I'm setting you free."
"Behave, and I'll make your suffering a little less agonizing."
Nagato couldn't help but chuckle. The Two-Tailed Beast's contrast was quite striking.
He casually twisted his wrist, revealing a short segment of a long black rod from under his wide sleeve.
From beneath his red bangs, his playful gaze looked as though he were staring at a pet.
