A convenience store opened in Naruto

"Ghost!"

Shukaku screamed in fear, and all the hair on his body stood up like a hedgehog.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Ye Feng was amazed and praised, "You had a really good dream. But, have you ever asked the person involved for his opinion? If Jiu Lama knew that you were criticizing it like this, he would beat the shit out of you."

"Oh, I forgot, you tailed beasts are energy creatures and can't poop, so, cut them into pieces?"

"How would you like to die?"

"Ghost, you are a ghost, haha, you are a ghost, I am dreaming, yes, I am dreaming, wake up, wake up!" Shukaku slapped himself.

It has heard from humans that if one realizes that one is dreaming, one can use pain to cause the body to react instinctively, thus forcing the person to wake up from the dream.

Shukaku didn't know whether it would work or not. In the past, it had always bullied others, so it was never the turn of others to bully it.

All the dreams it has are sweet dreams. It feels so good that it doesn’t want to wake up from them.

But it’s not possible now. It’s a nightmare, a pure nightmare. It doesn’t want to dream anymore. It wants to wake up!

"Woooooooo..."

"I was wrong, I lied," Shukaku cried loudly, slapping himself in the face and confessing, "I couldn't beat the stupid fox, and I didn't fight you for 300 rounds. I was defeated in seconds."

"Woo woo woo, I was wrong!"

"Uh……"

Is this a mental breakdown?

Shouldn't it?

Ye Feng touched his chin and wondered, is the mind of the tailed beast so unstable? Shouldn't it rather die than surrender and never compromise?

"You have to stand up straight, you are the noble One-Tailed Shukaku!"

"What's a nine-tail fox? You've always called him a stupid fox, but he's not as smart as you. Nine tails are nothing. If you cut them all off, there won't be any tails left."

"Just think about it, there's nothing behind Jiu Lama. It's so depressing just thinking about it."

"Don't you want to see it?"

Shukaku's hand paused, and a picture emerged in his mind.

Jiu Lama has lost his nine tails, but his own tail is still there. He always says that he stinks. Doesn’t stinky translate to ugly? Jiu Lama without a tail is like a pheasant without hair, all bald. And he still says that he is ugly?

He walked proudly in front of Jiu Lama, and Jiu Lama followed behind him like a little brother, humbly lifting his tail to prevent it from falling to the ground and getting covered with dust.

When he is unhappy, he uses his big tail to hit the nine-tailed fox, no, the stupid fox!

The stupid fox didn't dare to resist because it had no tail, but I had a tail, haha!

"Hehehe~"

When Shukaku thought of happy things, the sound of his laughter became distorted and very sharp.

Ye Feng slapped his forehead, unable to bear to look at it.

Really, I was just wondering if you would have a mental breakdown, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. As long as Jiu Lama's life is worse than yours, you will not have a mental breakdown.

"You should know that you are dreaming. What is a dream? A dream is what you think about during the day and at night. In a dream, you are God and you can do whatever you want."

"If you want to slap Ku Lama, slap Ku Lama's big mouth. If you want to crush that human to death, crush that human to death."

Ye Feng's voice was vague and unreal.

In Shukaku's eyes, Ye Feng's figure also became blurred.

"Sleep, sleep, remember, you are invincible in your dreams!"

"I'm invincible?" Shukaku muttered to himself, shaking his head, "No, I'm not invincible!"

The Six Paths Sage who created the tailed beasts is invincible.

"You are my inner demon, you must be my inner demon!"

Shukaku roared towards the sky, and a Tailed Beast Ball quickly condensed into shape, but it was launched without even any power being accumulated.

The Tailed Beast Ball directly hit the floating, blurry figure.

"Ah~"

The figure screamed and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

"I will definitely come back!"

"Oh!"

Shukaku spat in disdain, "How dare you, little devil, try to disturb my mind?"

It's definitely a mental demon, Shukaku thought for sure.

Only the inner demon can appear anywhere silently. Only the inner demon can exert its full strength without restraint in the sealed space. Only the inner demon knows what it wants most and what it fears most.

Shukaku calmed himself and looked around the dark sealed space.

"Is Gaara asleep?"

It was lost in thought.

Only when Gaara falls asleep will the sealed space fall into darkness, and only when he is awake will light "shine in".

Through the bright light, it can see the outside world.

To be honest, after so many years, Shukaku has become somewhat accustomed to it.

It never hated Gaara. On the contrary, it felt sorry for Gaara.

At such a young age, he has to endure loneliness, abuse and everything he shouldn't have to endure.

What happened to Gaara was unbearable for him as a child, not to mention any adult.

Gaara hates himself and dislikes himself, Shukaku can understand that, but it doesn't think it has done anything wrong.

What have I done wrong? I just want freedom. If possible, who would want to stay in a dark and damp place for decades?

When one cage breaks, another one will be immediately replaced!

What do you think of yourself? A commodity that can be bought and sold at will?

Who else has asked for their own opinion?

Decades, decades, who knows how it has been living through these decades!

The previous generation of people who guarded the cage would at least talk to me. But when they were replaced by someone new, they started to make a lot of noises and couldn't even control their pee and poop. What should I do?

Can I watch him die?

Although he died and I was free, he was still a living being after all. He had just been born and had never seen anything. How could he die...

How should I put it? I don't feel pity, nor do I feel compassion for the world. I just feel that, okay, I admit it, I just can't bear to see him die.

I watched him take staggering steps, I watched him learn to speak, I watched him grow up day by day, and I watched him become what he is today.

But what can I do? I just don’t want him to die!

But the little devil was so annoying that he blocked it, saying that he was afraid and didn’t want to hear its voice!

Damn little devil, if it weren’t for me, you would have died long ago!

If you have the guts, then don't sleep. If you dare to sleep, I will come out and kill all the... people.

Little boy, you really don’t want to sleep?

You can't stand it!

Go to sleep, I'm just talking.

Damn kid, why don’t you go to sleep? You have black circles all over your body!

Little boy, could you please listen to me and not just listen halfway? What I said is to kill all those who bully you, not to kill all people.

What are you afraid of?

They all bullied you, why didn't you fight back?

Okay, if you don’t fight back, I will. I can’t stand it anymore. I will kill them for you!

Little boy, wake up, have I ever hurt you?

Forget it, I'm so mad. Just do whatever you like. I don't care!

"Ha, why would I think of these?" Shukaku laughed at himself. He was the noble One-Tailed Shukaku and would not feel any guilt. It was not his fault anyway, so why should he feel guilty?

"It must be the inner demon. It's interfering with my mind!"

It is said that the inner demon is the most feared thing in a person's heart. So, do the tailed beasts also have inner demons?

The tailed beasts don't have hearts, so how can they have inner demons? Or does it mean that as long as anything can think and have its own consciousness, whether it's a human, a tailed beast, or anything else, it will have inner demons?

"Inner demon, inner demon!" Shukaku couldn't help but mutter. It was really scary and could penetrate every corner. If he wasn't careful, the inner demon would take advantage of him.

When did the demon in my heart begin to appear?

Shukaku thought that the inner demon would not form in a day or two, it should be...

should be……

"Heart demon?"

Shukaku was stunned. What is the inner demon? How did he know about the inner demon?

In the long years before, it had never heard of the concept of inner demons.

It slapped itself hard, trying to wake itself up. It realized that it had been tricked again!

There was no inner demon, nor any so-called dreaming. Everything was real. The previous battle was real, but his two deaths were fake, they were all illusions.

"Damn Uchiha boy, come out!"

After being fooled again and again, it couldn't stand it anymore. It wanted to fight Ye Feng to the death. It would rather die than be like a fool and be played around by others again and again.

"I've already told you that I'm not from the Uchiha family!" Ye Feng's voice suddenly appeared in the sealed space. "But, hey, you have a rich heart!"

"If Gaara knew this, he would be so touched that he would burst into tears."

"Do you want to see Gaara cry? A person who has a cold face all day long, who doesn't like this or that, and who can only sneer and say harsh words, must feel very broken when he cries."

Shukaku couldn't help himself...Snap, it slapped itself and stopped imagining.

"Don't even think about shaking my mind!"

"Tsk, who shook your mind? Even if you don't want to watch it, I still do." Ye Feng rested his chin on his hand, thinking, "Just think about it, a cold little handsome boy, crying and sniffling..."

"Enough!" Shukaku roared. It couldn't let Ye Feng continue talking. If he continued, it really couldn't help but fantasize.

"Tell me your conditions. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Ah, you're giving up so quickly?" Ye Feng was a little disappointed, "I still have one big move that I haven't used yet!"

Shukaku's face twitched. "You still have a big move? So the ones you used before weren't big moves?"

I can't even withstand your illusion, and you have any ultimate moves?

"The move you used earlier wasn't really a powerful one. Susanoo, you look quite powerful, but it can only deal with ordinary people. It's useless against experts."

"It seems I'm not even a master!"

Shukaku has never felt such frustration. It has always thought that apart from a limited number of people, the Six Paths Sage and his sons, and Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha who appeared decades ago, only Kurama could be considered its opponent.

As for others, no matter whether they are humans or tailed beasts, if it really gives it a try, no one can be its opponent.

"You are wrong. I didn't dare to say it before, but now, any other fighter from Akatsuki can beat you without any problem."

"There's another one on the moon. Not to mention you, even if the Six Paths Sage came, he would be able to defeat him in a few moves."

"You're kidding. Apart from the sealed man, there is no one else on the moon... You, you, you, can you hear what I'm thinking?"

Shukaku was shocked. What’s going on? It would be fine if he couldn’t beat him, but now you can hear what I’m thinking?

Shukaku, who didn't believe in evil, said in his heart: "You are an idiot!"

"Hmm?" Ye Feng said with a half-smile, "Even if I'm an idiot, you can't beat me!"

'Shit, he can hear me!'

Tick ​​tock!

Shukaku broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you going to let the tailed beast live? It's so powerful, and it has such a perverted ability. Even the Six Paths Sage can't do it. Is this a special ability of his Sharingan?"

It is said that when the Sharingan is upgraded to the Mangekyō, it will awaken its own unique eye technique. Although Shukaku has never seen it with his own eyes...

'Hmm? How do I know if I haven't seen it?'

"I want to let you know that the Sage of Six Paths didn't seem to tell you tailed beasts. I asked Kurama, and he said he didn't remember the Sage of Six Paths telling you anything."

'Why is he telling me this?'

"I tell you this to prevent you from being tricked. If you encounter someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan, run away if you can. You tailed beasts can't defeat them. The Sharingan is a natural counter to your tailed beasts, as well as the Samsara Eye and other special eyes."

"By the way, do you have to think about it in your heart? Can't you just say it out loud? What if I like this feeling and I can't control myself from looking into other people's hearts?"

Ye Feng rubbed his temples in distress. It was really hard for him to control himself.

In the convenience store, he is almost omnipotent, and reading other people's minds is a piece of cake, but he has never used this ability, well... rarely uses it, listening to gossip is addictive!

If Shukaku didn't have too much to say, he wouldn't have used this trick.

"Why are you telling me this?" Shukaku stopped his wandering thoughts and asked calmly.

'Hurry up and leave, I can't bear it anymore!'

Ye Feng also shut down his ability and said, "Kurouma asked me to say it, but it said it was too lazy to say it, so let me say it again. If you meet other tailed beasts in the future, you can tell them."

"It said that it was once controlled by someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan. It was controlled in one encounter, and its full strength was not yet fully exerted. It doesn't want you to repeat its mistake."

"How could a stupid fox be so kind?" Shukaku was incredulous.

"Believe it or not, you stinky cat!"

"I've already told you not to call me raccoon cat!" Shukaku's eyes blazed with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not a raccoon cat, I'm Shukaku!"

"These are Jiu Lama's original words, not mine," Ye Feng waved his hands quickly to clear himself of responsibility, "I have always called you little civet cat!"

"Ah, I'm pissed off!"

Shukaku was provoked by Ye Feng again and opened his mouth to bite Ye Feng.

With a "crack", Shukaku bit into nothing. Ye Feng was no longer in the original place, nor in the sealed space.
