Chapter 182 - 174

"Wait, don't kill her! Otherwise, it'll take me a long time to be resurrected!"

A low, magnetic voice echoed from within Muguruma.

Tsunade froze in surprise.

"Hey... Didn't this woman pass out? Why is someone still talking?"

"My Lord Hokage, you forgot... She's a Jinchūriki — she's got a tailed beast inside her."

"Ah, right!"

Feeling embarrassed, Tsunade awkwardly rubbed her nose.

"Two-Tails Matatabi, you're a tailed beast — you can't die. Sure, your resurrection may take a while, but what's there to be afraid of?"

Uchiha Nanaya, standing nearby, grinned with interest.

It wasn't every day a tailed beast asked for mercy.

"You ninjas... You really don't understand the suffering of us tailed beasts."

The deep voice resonated once more from Muguruma's body.

"The long period of resurrection is even more painful than being sealed. I don't want to endure that again."

It seemed that after spending so much time as Muguruma's partner, Matatabi had become more human-like in thought and emotion.

A Familiar Chakra

Once again, Matatabi's magnetic voice emerged from Muguruma's body.

"Boy... I can sense the Chakra of Three-Tails in you. You've encountered Isobu before, haven't you? We're... acquaintances."

Nanaya's eyes widened slightly.

The tailed beasts were familiar with one another's Chakra, having existed for thousands of years.

During his previous battle, when Nanaya used his Sharingan to control the Three-Tails, traces of its Chakra had remained in his body — a detail that Matatabi had now detected.

Surprising Knowledge

"Wait... Boy, how do you know my name?"

Moments earlier, Matatabi's tone had been calm, even friendly — but now it turned sharp and alarmed.

Knowing a tailed beast's true name was rare.

Even most Jinchūriki never learned their tailed beast's name.

When a tailed beast willingly reveals its name to a Jinchūriki, it signifies a deep bond of trust and acknowledgment.

While Muguruma naturally knew Matatabi's name, she hadn't mentioned it during the recent battle.

So how did this boy know?

The revelation left Matatabi deeply puzzled.

After all, even Naruto Uzumaki had called the Nine-Tails by that name for years before learning its true name — Kurama.

Unlocking the Seal

"Matatabi? Is that the name of the Two-Tails?"

Tsunade's curiosity piqued.

Uchiha Nanaya chuckled.

"I don't just know about the Two-Tails — I know the names of all the tailed beasts, from Shukaku to Kurama."

A Surprising Offer

Nanaya then turned to Matatabi.

"You don't want to endure the long resurrection process, right? Simple — I'll release the seal. Once I do, you'll be free."

Of course, Nanaya wasn't planning to let Muguruma survive.

Once a Jinchūriki lost their tailed beast, death was inevitable.

Hearing Nanaya's words, Matatabi was both surprised and overjoyed.

"Boy... You can unlock the seal?"

"Of course!"

Peeling back Muguruma's clothing, Nanaya revealed the circular sealing mark on her lower abdomen.

He formed a quick hand seal, then placed his palm over the marking.

Turning his hand slightly — like a key fitting into a lock — he activated the seal.

In that moment, Nanaya sensed Matatabi's immense presence within the seal.

With a sharp pull, he extracted a surge of enormous Chakra from Muguruma's body.

Matatabi's Release

The massive blue Chakra rapidly expanded, coalescing into the physical form of the Two-Tails.

Moments later, Matatabi's towering figure stood before Nanaya and Tsunade.

"Ahh... I'm free again!"

For the first time in ages, Matatabi felt true freedom — no longer suppressed by a Jinchūriki's body.

The flames of blue chakra flickered proudly around her form.

"Boy, thank you!"
