I don't believe in the will of fire

The torii gate that is visible to the naked eye is guarded by eight ninjas from the Taki-nin Village, all of whom are at Chunin level. They wear forehead protectors from the Taki-nin Village and look solemn.

After seeing the two people coming over, the two ninjas closest inside nodded, and then used the key to open a red wooden door behind the torii, revealing the dark and deep cave inside.

"Hurry up!"

"knew!"

The two walked in and went down the stairs. After walking for about five or six minutes, a square wooden cell appeared under the weak candlelight.

This is a cage that looks like a wooden house. It is filled with simple furniture, wooden beds, wooden tables, and wooden chairs. It exudes an unpleasant smell.

And on the wooden bed, this young body was curled up.

The two people walked over carefully, looking wary and not daring to get close.

One of them knocked on the wooden prison with the wooden stick in his hand. After seeing that there was no danger inside, the other opened the wooden door of the prison with a key and walked in tremblingly.

"It's time to eat!"

After this person threw the lunch box in his hand on the table, he retreated out and locked the door tightly again.

After the door was locked again, he spoke boldly.

"Monster, eat quickly. We will collect the food in ten minutes."

After that, the two of them quickly climbed up the stairs and left as if they were running for their lives.

After the two figures disappeared, the curled up bodies on the bed began to move slowly.

What I saw was a girl who was only seven or eight years old. She looked exactly like a child. She was wearing a tattered robe that obviously didn't fit and wrapped her body. Her hair seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time, and her long green hair was straight.

When it reached the ground, a jewel-like green eye emerged, but there was no light in it, just like a walking zombie.

In addition, she also wears something like a collar around her neck, with various runes engraved on it.

The young girl walked to the table with her young body, grabbed the food inside with her dirty hands, and stuffed it into her mouth one by one like an animal.

Suddenly, the girl felt something, raised her head, and still looked at the two figures who appeared in front of her without any emotion in her eyes, then lowered her head and continued to eat.

————————

Mai's eyes were filled with anger at this moment. She looked at this scene in disbelief and clenched her fists tightly.

It's not that she has never seen a Jinchuriki before, and she also knows what a Jinchuriki and a tailed beast are.

But whether it was Gaara, the first-tailed jinchuriki, Yugao, the six-tailed jinchuriki, or the nine-tailed jinchuriki, she originally thought that their experiences were miserable enough, but when she saw the little girl in front of her.

She felt that she still underestimated the evil of human nature.

The little girl in front of her is obviously just a child less than her waist height, but at this moment, the child's eyes no longer have the gleam of human beings, and they are completely like a beast.

Fortunately, she seems to be able to understand people.

"Why is this child like this?"

Mai asked puzzledly.

Shenyue recalls the memories she got from Takiichi.

"She should have become a Jinchuuriki not long ago. Her body's suppression of the tailed beast's chakra is too weak. The tailed beast's chakra has been torturing her sanity, plus..."

Shenyue said and looked around, and Mai also understood.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Shenyue walked over slowly, and Mai followed.

When the little girl looked at the two Shenyue people walking over, her eyes instantly turned frightened. She anxiously stuffed the food in her hands into her mouth, then ran back to the bed, curling up her body, looking very scared.

From the injuries on her exposed arms, it was obvious that this little girl had been beaten frequently.

"Shenyue, this...is too much."

When Mai saw this scene, she felt even more angry. She couldn't help but leaned over, and with the little girl's trembling body, she was ready to touch the girl's body to make her relax a little.

Seeing Mai approaching, the girl's body trembled even more violently, and her mouth made a hoarse sound like a beast.

"Don't hit me...don't hit me..."

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

Mai hurriedly said comfortingly.

But at this moment, red chakra visible to the naked eye suddenly overflowed from her body, and the girl's face began to become ferocious.

This ominous aura startled Mai.

She had seen this scene before, it was the transformation of a tailed beast.

But this didn't last long. After feeling the chakra, the runes on the collar around the little girl's neck lit up, and lightning flashed around her neck. The girl howled in pain, and the chakra faded away.

Mai felt even more distressed, but she no longer dared to approach the girl. She just looked at Shenyue with pleading eyes.

"Leave it to me"

Shenyue sighed and walked slowly over. The girl's body once again trembled with fear.

"Don't be afraid."

Shenyue gently touched the girl, and warm chakra was injected from her body into the girl's body.

The little girl felt the warmth of her body. In her empty eyes, she finally regained a trace of human sanity and looked at Shenyue in disbelief.

"Don't be afraid, your name is May, right? You'll be fine soon."

Shenyue said softly, and then gently grabbed the collar with her fingers and pinched it. The runes on the collar that were visible to the naked eye seemed to have been corroded by something and disappeared, and the collar was also untied.

"!!!"

The little girl's expression was full of surprise for a moment.

But at this moment, without the restraint of the collar, the tailed beast chakra on the little girl instantly overflowed even more powerfully. The girl looked at Shenyue in horror.

"Don't be afraid."

Shenyue just said a word, and then increased the output of chakra.

Under Shenyue's chakra, Nanao's chakra was instantly suppressed, and the warm feeling once again replaced the coldness.

"It's okay!"

Shenyue said, holding the little girl in her arms. The little girl's dull eyes regained some light, and then she grabbed Shenyue tightly.

"We're leaving."

"Um."

As Shenyue said that, she hugged the little girl and disappeared from the place with Mai's figure.

And ten minutes later, the news of the Jinchuriki's disappearance quickly spread throughout the Taki Ninja Village.

——————

The place where Shenyue and Mai rested last night.

The two figures appeared here again.

The Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki is easier to obtain than imagined, but taking away the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki was definitely not in Kamizuki's original plan.

However, now that I have done it, I have no regrets.

"Take her to wash up and tidy up."

At this moment, the little girl named May is completely a dirty girl. Not only does her hair look like a female ghost, her body is also dirty.

As Shenyue spoke, she was about to teach the little girl to Mai, but unexpectedly, the little girl hugged Shenyue's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Mai felt distressed and touched the little girl's head and said.

"Your name is Wuyue, right? Go and take a shower with your sister. After you finish taking a shower, you can continue to hold Shenyue, okay?"

The little girl slowly let go of Shenyue and came into Mai's arms.

"good."

Mai hugged the little girl and asked Shenyue.

"Don't we just go back?"

"No, we need to wait for a while. After the matter in Taki Ninja Village is resolved, we can go back."

"Well, then I'll take May to take a shower first."

"Um"
