"...Why?! Why are you helping us tailed beasts? Aren't you a human?"

Shukaku, who was silent for a moment while looking at Yulong whose eyes were full of sincerity, couldn't help but asked with some confusion.

Facing Shukaku's question, Yulong immediately gave an answer that Shukaku could not refute!

"Isn't the Immortal of Six Paths also a human being? What he can do, others can also do!

Even~ will do better than him!!"

"...What an arrogant guy! Not only does he want to be on par with Old Man Liudao, he also wants to surpass him!"

After a brief silence, Shukaku, who was sitting in Yulong's hands, could not help but whisper in a low tone.

"Isn't it normal to stand on the shoulders of giants and climb higher than the giants in the end?"

Looking at Shukaku who was touched in his heart, Yulong couldn't help but put it into Gaara's hand.

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

"Promise?!"

Looking up at Yulong in front of him, Shukaku, who had just come to his senses, couldn't help but be stunned again.

"Yes! Promise! Get along well with Gaara! When I develop the perfect seal of reincarnation, it will be time to restore your freedom!"

Having said this in a firm tone, Yulong immediately raised his hand and patted Gaara on the shoulder.

And in Gaara's surprised expression, he said words that warmed Gaara's heart.

"Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to you as jinchūriki just to separate the tailed beasts!"

"Yeah~! I believe you, Brother Yulong!"

Facing Yulong's assurance, Gaara, who was moved in his heart, immediately nodded vigorously.

Then the two of them stopped playing and started chatting quietly.

It wasn't until the others outside were impatient that Yuryu said goodbye to Shukaku and left with Gaara's consciousness.

Looking at the two people who had disappeared, Shukaku, who was still sitting outside the seal, couldn't help but turn around and return to the seal.

And as its body returned to the seal again, the power that had disappeared returned to its body again.

Looking at his body that had returned to normal, Shukaku couldn't help but feel a touch of softness in his expression.

"Should we wait another three years? To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Looking at the scene outside Gaara's body, Shukaku, who was lying on the ground again, couldn't help but support his chin with his forelimbs.

…

Let your consciousness return to the outside world!

Yulong opened his eyes and couldn't help but glared fiercely at Naruto Shikamaru and others who were approaching cautiously.

"What are you doing?! Don't you know curiosity killed the cat? If you get so close, you want to be beaten to death?!"

"Hey! Isn't it because you two haven't moved for so long that I'm worried about you?!"

"That's right! That's right! We are just worried about you two!"

Facing Yulong's "vicious" glare, the few people who were caught revealing their true identity couldn't help but defend themselves in embarrassment.

And such an excuse obviously cannot fool Yulong, who has always been shrewd.

"Really? But how can your eyes tell me that you are just curious?!"

"Uh~ How is that possible?!"

"That's right! It's impossible! We are just worried about you!"

"Yes, yes! It's just a matter of worry!"

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to argue with you about this kind of thing! All the injured should line up and I'll heal your injuries!"
