Now that we've discussed the benefits, let's talk about the drawbacks.
Matatabi watched Uchiha Yuzuru warily.
Offering unsolicited favors means he must have ulterior motives.
Based on its understanding of humans, the human before it definitely had something else planned.
Seeing Matatabi's expression, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and said, "My requirement is also very simple. Whenever the Jinchuriki needs to use your power, you must cooperate fully."
"You cannot forcibly occupy the Jinchuriki's body and cause destruction inside the Village."
Matatabi waited for a moment, and when it realized Uchiha Yuzuru still didn't intend to continue speaking, it couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded, "That's it."
After receiving confirmation, Matatabi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This counts as a requirement?
If it could occasionally come out of the Jinchuriki's body for a breather, then it could completely accept such a request, after all, it was only borrowing some of its power.
Although it would still be Sealed, compared to its previous life of endless darkness, this was much better.
Thinking of this, Matatabi replied directly, "I agree to your requirements."
"But..." Matatabi said with a somewhat innocent tone, "As you can see, the power within me can cause the Jinchuriki to lose her mind."
"If she cannot use her own will to remain conscious, you cannot blame me."
Uchiha Yuzuru stroked Matatabi's head and laughed, "Don't worry, I am not an unreasonable person."
Please turn off your Mangekyo Sharingan first... Matatabi muttered a complaint, then said, "Then I'll go back now."
After speaking, the terrifying Chakra gradually began to dissipate, and Yugito's figure reappeared in the center of the training ground.
"Yugito!"
Samui and Mabui jogged over and anxiously helped Yugito up.
Yugito slowly woke up and asked in confusion, "What happened to me?"
Mabui whispered, "You just went berserk."
"Eh?!" Yugito was startled, and then the events that occurred before she lost consciousness flashed through her mind.
Yugito asked in a panic, "Is the Village alright? Did I cause trouble?"
"Calm down." Samui patted Yugito's shoulder. "The Two-Tails did want to destroy the Village, but Lord Yuzuru stopped it."
Hearing this, Yugito sighed in relief and bowed to Uchiha Yuzuru, "Thank goodness for Lord Yuzuru, otherwise I would have been consumed by guilt."
She had never imagined that the power of a Tailed Beast could be so terrifying.
Facing the onslaught of the Tailed Beast, she didn't even have the ability to resist.
It seemed the Third Raikage was right; she had been too naive and arrogant before.
Thinking of this, Yugito asked Mabui and Samui, "I just lost consciousness. Can you tell me what happened?"
"To stop me from going berserk, Lord Yuzuru and the Two-Tails must have engaged in an extremely fierce battle, right?"
Hearing this, Mabui and Samui exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Should they say that the great battle everyone imagined didn't happen, and that Lord Yuzuru merely glared at the Two-Tails, causing the Two-Tails to turn into a docile and obedient kitten?
Even though they had witnessed it themselves, they still found it hard to utter.
There was no helping it; the situation was simply too outlandish.
Fortunately, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke up at the right time, dissolving their awkwardness.
"Yugito, I have already communicated with the Two-Tails. From now on, you can borrow its power."
"However, if you want to use the Tailed Beast's power, you must maintain a clear mind despite the onslaught of powerful Chakra."
"Furthermore, mastering the use of the Tailed Beast's power requires much practice and a certain level of synchronization with the Tailed Beast inside you."
"I have done everything I can. The rest is up to you to figure out slowly on your own."
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Yugito asked worriedly, "Lord Yuzuru, are you not going to continue instructing me?"
"If I still fail to maintain my sanity next time, what should I do?"
Uchiha Yuzuru patted Yugito's head and laughed, "Don't worry. Even if you lose your mind, the Two-Tails won't take the opportunity to do anything."
"You can communicate with the Two-Tails through your mental world."
"Oh, and the Two-Tails' name is Matatabi."
"I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, his body vanished with a 'poof,' dissolving into a puff of white smoke.
Yugito sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
She had originally thought Uchiha Yuzuru's instruction would be a long-term affair, but she hadn't expected it to end in less than half a day.
Most importantly, she had been unconscious for most of that time... Seeing Yugito's expression, Samui and Mabui both smiled teasingly, "Yugito, why are you making that face? Weren't you reluctant before?"
Yugito said righteously, "How can that be the same? This is Lord Yuzuru!"

After leaving the training ground, Uchiha Yuzuru arrived at a dumpling shop on the streets of Hidden Cloud Village.
Many people in his household, including him, enjoyed sweets, so he always brought some back whenever he went out.
Just as he walked in, Uchiha Yuzuru saw Tsunade and Shizune sitting quietly at a table, eating.
"Tsunade, Shizune, what a coincidence."
Uchiha Yuzuru greeted them and sat down right next to the two women.
"Lord Yuzuru."
Shizune stood up, bowed respectfully, and then quietly moved to stand beside Tsunade.
"Shizune, don't be so reserved, please sit back down."
"Understood, Lord Yuzuru."
Only then did Shizune sit down again.
Seeing Tsunade silent, Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow. "Tsunade, why do you look so listless today? Want to go play a few rounds at the casino?"
Tsunade glanced at Uchiha Yuzuru and said languidly, "I quit gambling."
"Huh?!"
Uchiha Yuzuru looked at Tsunade in disbelief and asked, confused, "Why suddenly quit gambling?"
Tsunade lightly snorted, not replying.
Shizune immediately explained, "Lady Tsunade kept losing, her mindset collapsed, and she has essentially lost all her money."
"So she plans to use this opportunity to just quit gambling entirely."
Even if Tsunade received a monthly remuneration of ten million Ryo, she couldn't afford to lose every single day.
If they continued gambling, they would end up sleeping on the streets again, just like before.
No, maybe it would be worse than before.
After all, they used to be able to raise money through loans and scams to get through tough times, and once the money was spent, they would simply leave without a trace.
But now that wouldn't work. They had to settle down here permanently, so their old methods were absolutely unusable.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's questioning gaze, Tsunade nodded, "That's right, that's the situation."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru said with an expression of deep distress, "Tsunade, no gambler loses forever! How can you give up so easily?!"
