This is only the first step to establish Gaara's Psychological superiority over Shukaku, this will work but for Shukaku to submit to him there is still a long way to go and in that case, Tsukihi's role is not much, but for Shukaku to submit to him there is still a long way to go and in that case, Tsukihi's role is not much, it would all depend on Gaara. his own fortitude and tenacity.
However, even if that was the case, the gap in strength between Gaara and Shukaku who had lived for almost a millennium was simply too great.
Therefore, Gaara's growth path should be designed for steady growth so that he is not overwhelmed by his strength. Otherwise, the psychological advantages he might gain from Shukaku would have been meaningless.
'I think it's time to stop grilling Tanuki..' – even though Tsukihi thinks so, she doesn't stop right away.
After being burned by the fire Oshinomimi Shukaku's struggle gradually weakened…
Although Oshihomimi's golden flame was not as strong as Amaterasu's black flame representing the World of Material and Light, Oshihomimi's fire still had an edge. Even if it is lower, they have a special attribute of burning chakra.that is, as long as the source of the chakra exists, they can continue to burn indefinitely.
And what is Bijuu? Bijuu is nothing more than a large collection of chakras with consciousness, the point here is that they are 'no more than a large collection of Chakras'.
Thus, once the Golden Flame is ignited, the fire will continue to burn Bijuu indefinitely, Tsukihi does not need to do extra hard work, Shukaku chakra will keep the fire burning.
Next, he waved his hand under the command of the chain Torii that was entangled in Shukaku's mouth loosened, finally giving Shukaku some ability to speak.
But it seems Tsukihi is hoping for too much from this annoying Tanuki, even if she weakens and cries that does not stop her from cursing and yelling, "Damn you Uchiha... I won't forget this. sooner or later I will. -..."
Tsukihi did not wait for Shukaku to finish, she added the eye power of her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to intensify the golden flames while coldly saying, "It seems that you have not studied your place..."
"Ah... damn-fuck-fuck... hot...!" – Immediately Shukaku's cries and cries grew stronger, the voices echoed throughout the cave.
While Shukaku was crying, Tsukihi asked Gaara, "What do you think, isn't he just a pet, or better yet, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a pet unless he becomes honest and knows his true place?"
Gaara nodded nervously, but there was still joy in his eyes.
With a nod of Gaara, Tsukihi smirked at Gaara and said to him to deliberately incite Tanuki, "You should get used to this, you will never be honest with him .. treat the other party as what ... Moreover, such things would become commonplace from now on."
Gaara asked curiously, "Does that mean you're going to punish him like this all the time?"
Hearing Gaara's question, Shukaku's cry paused for a moment and he looked at Tsukihi, waiting for her answer…
Tsukihi chuckled as she realized Shukaku's angry gaze was focused on her, and she revealed in a mocking tone, "I'll tell you that this Golden Flame is called Oshihomimi, I'm sure you've noticed this Shukaku, I'm sure you've noticed this, but these Golden Flames are unusual.they can continuously absorb and burn chakra, You are a mass of Chakras which means they will continue to burn incessantly unless extinguished, be it a month, a year, a decade, a half a century, a century or even thousands of years. And the good thing is I've arranged it in such a way that you will never run out of chakra, which means you will continue to burn for eternity.”.
Of course, it was a little exaggerated, once he was released from the Torii Seal, Tsukihi believed that Shukaku would be able to extinguish them but meh, Shukaku did not know this.
And since he didn't know this, he suddenly started to panic and shouted, "Damn it, put them out immediately!"
Tsukihi's intimidation was clearly influential, towards someone who could conquer her so easily, Shukaku didn't seem as strong or dangerous as Gaara had previously imagined.
Tsukihi gave a cold snort and said, "Is this the attitude one should have when pleading with someone? Has no one taught you manners?"
Although Tsukihi has never been in Shukaku's place, she understands Shukaku's current state, and for some reason, it gives her a unique pleasure, and she enjoys tormenting Shukaku immensely. He is also convinced that Shukaku will soon give up, the only question is how long he will last before finally giving up, and wagging his tail like a good little dog.
At this moment, Shukaku said with a reluctant expression, "Y-yah, Uchiha-san, you won, please stop!"
Tsukihi said with an indifferent expression, "You seem to be begging the wrong person here ..."
Realizing what Tsukihi meant, Shukaku's eyes widened but soon turned angry, he got angry, "What? You want me to beg this boy? He's nothing more than a rat with a runny nose, he's not qualified!"
Defeating to an Uchiha, who was a descendant of Rikudo Sennin was almost unacceptable to him, he knew that all Bijuu, including the strongest Kyuubi, were helpless against the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. But begging Gaara? This is totally unacceptable!
Tsukihi folded it in front of her chest then laughed, "Hahaha, that's funny coming from you, because last time I checked you, you were the same in front of me! Nothing more than the annoying Tanuki You are not qualified to put your terms before me! Submit it or burn it to eternity!"
Shukaku was confused by what the Uchiha girl said, and he tried to incite Tsukihi, "Kill the boy, be my Jinchuriki, you can have all my Chakras."
Hearing Shukaku's words, Gaara looked at Tsukihi's face only to see her yawn in boredom, "Do you have nothing else to say? Anyway, I'm not interested in getting your chakra..."
Shukaku looked at Tsukihi with a more surprised expression, "You-you...!"
Tsukihi interrupted Shukaku halfway, "Decide quickly, I don't have much time to spend on you, there's more important I should do than look at your miserable state ... if you are not in a hurry then I will leave you as "– After the pause, Tsukihi said coldly, "And after leaving, who knows after how long I will return... so hurry up, you only have ten seconds before I leave..."
Shukaku is now caught in a loop, burned for days and more which is completely unbearable.
"8"
"7"
"I... I t-." – Shukaku tried to speak something but suddenly stopped.
"6"
…
…
…
"3"
"2"
"Zer-is..." "Please wait!"– Before Tsukihi could count down the last number, Gaara suddenly interjected.
Tsukihi stopped and looked at Gaara with a curious expression. He was interested in what Gaara said.
"Please wait.." – speaking thus, Gaara began to walk towards Shukaku, and spoke, "Shukaku… and I also understand that you don't want to accept me now because I'm too weak. It's okay if you don't want to be the way I am at the moment, but I promise Shukaku, I'll work hard and train, and eventually get your recognition, if one day, I'll get your recognition, I personally defeated you, and also freed you from all confinement. , will you? Will you help me? Do you agree to lend me your strength?"
'Heh, it was a surprise, but I guess that's what is expected of the next Kazekage... and the best Kazekage..' – Tsukihi was a little surprised by Gaara's sudden action, but did not take Gaara's character too seriously.
Shukaku was also surprised by Gaara's sudden actions, and he fell silent for a while, after which, he snorted, "Don't overestimate yourself boy ..."
Gaara did not back down, and continued, "The answer to my question Shukaku, whether it really happened or not is another matter altogether, are you going to approve of me becoming your Jinchuriki or not?"
Shukaku came back surprised, and he suddenly laughed, "Hahaha..you will never become strong enough..but I guess there is no problem to agree with you.
Gaara said, "It won't happen, I won't fail...!"
Shukaku finally sighed, and said, "And what happens if you fail...?!"
Gaara thought a little and said, "I will not fail, but if I fail to get your approval by defeating you in the next decade, I will do whatever you ask of me... I'll do everything you want, even if it means death and more!"
Shukaku was speechless, he could not feel any trace of deception or lies in the brat's words, therefore, he ended up nodding after a long silence, "Alright… then I'll give you all my strength .. I'll give you access to my entire chakra. But don't forget your condition, son, you only have a decade like you said… more than that and you will fail!”
With a nod of Shukaku, Gaara turned to look at Tsukihi and said, "Tsukihi-san, please put out the fire..."
Tsukihi hummed, "Because the boy asked, so I forgive you. If I hear that you are acting beyond your limits, there will be no next chance, burned to death. Immortality will wait for you!"
"..." – Shukaku fell silent, he did not give any answer, but his eyes showed agreement with Tsukihi's words.
Satisfied that his intent was clear to Shukaku, Tsukihi put out the fire.
Immediately after the fire was extinguished, Shukaku's burning condition became visible, and he was finally exhausted to the point of collapsing.
Tsukihi did not care, she simply said to Gaara, "Come, we go Gaara-kun."
Gaara nodded, then started walking towards Tsukihi, and then walked towards the cave exit.
While walking out, he glanced at Shukaku one last time and left.
After exiting the cave, Tsukihi spends more time in Gaara's subconscious.
Kuroto was already quite familiar with many of the subconscious, the last subconscious that Kuroto entered was Pakura where he entered using the Tenseigan, but that was another story of the time.
What is important here is that because of his familiarity with many of the subconscious, he has learned to develop an understanding of one's state of mind based on their subconscious, and therefore, on their own, he studied Gaara's subconscious to design a proper course of healing.
Finally, after determining everything, he and Gaara left his subconscious.
Recovering back to their senses, the first thing Gaara did was bow to Tsukihi, "Thank you for everything you've done for me."
Tsukihi said, "It's okay Gaara-kun because you will be a part of us, doing the little right is obvious."
Gaara nodded, he was still more than grateful.
At this moment, the gate of the room opened and Sandaime Kazekage's puppet entered.
With his arrival, Tsukihi said, "Alright Gaara-Kun, there are some things I have to do so I will leave, while I or Kuroto-sama leave, he will be your guardian."
The Kazekage puppet bowed to Gaara.
Gaara also bowed lightly.
Tsuki said, "You can ask me anything you doubt, and I think he should be able to answer most of your doubts, he is also the guard of this air fortress, so you don't have to worry about safety, while you're free to roam around the entire D-Zone fortress is an exception to that, the area is off limits. So, don't go there, all right?"
Gaara nodded curiously looking at the newly arrived person who inexplicably reminded him of someone. It's just that he can't figure out who that person really is.
Tsukihi continued, "Also, your basic training is about to begin, so calm down so that we can begin your training plan immediately."
Gaara nodded back.
After that Tsukihi explained a few more things to Gaara, then immediately left the child in the care of the Kazekage Doll.
The reason for not immediately starting his training was because he wanted to give the boy time for himself to process the sudden change and accept that he was no longer in Sunagakure, he said, along with many other things because this is all necessary.
After leaving the room, Tsukihi walked back to her lab, after transferring her soul back to the main body, Kuroto walked towards the exit of Ancor Vantian, and muttered, "Because I have taken Gaara under my wing, and then I will be able to leave the room, and since there was a need. of a friend for him, so I guess it was time I also brought myself an assistant who could help me in all sorts of experiments ... "
But what matters is the potential, Kuroto honestly doesn't have much time to look for people, and most of the children who have that potential are either part of the shinobi village or already taken in by Orochimaru.
At this point, Kuroto could only think of one person who Orochimaru might not have accepted yet, he said, and that one person might even be useful in many of Kuroto's upcoming plans and could be a good lab assistant if taught carefully.
