Chapter 18 Xiaojiu is quite interesting
After finishing her meal, Hinata Nao sat on the sofa in the living room, with the warm yellow light shining on her.

She looked at the nine-tailed imp busy in the kitchen, and at this moment she really looked at the nine-tailed imp's home.

Although the area is not large, only about 80 or 90 square meters, it is more than enough for a ten-year-old child to live in.

Moreover, this nine-tailed imp seems to be extremely serious about this residence called "home". Although he is alone in the house, the breath of life is everywhere in the house.

Even the potted plants by the window are growing well.

Although he is only ten years old, he surprisingly pays attention to the details of life.

Not at all like other ten-year-olds.

And it seems that he has a great talent for cooking.

Thinking of the food just now, Nightingale couldn't help but lick her lips with her pink tongue.

The food stewed with chicken, potatoes, green peppers and mushrooms may seem like a hodgepodge, but it is surprisingly delicious.

This made Hinata Nao, who has always been very picky about food, eat more.

Actually, if this little devil doesn't do mischief, he's still pretty cute...

Looking at Jiuxing washing dishes alone in the kitchen, Hinata Nao couldn't help feeling a little bored.

But that was her mission, to stay with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It's about companionship, not surveillance...

This is a new mission given to her by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It was for this reason that she accepted Uzumaki Kyuyuki's invitation.

"Kid, why would the Hokage's son come to trouble you?"

Hinata Nao had only known Kyuuki for less than two days, and she had been working there as a temporary worker before. Once a suitable candidate came along, she would run away, so she was not very clear about the relationship between Kyuuki and Shinnosuke.

"My name is Uzumaki Kuyuki, not brat."

Jiu Xing's voice came from the kitchen.

When the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body heard this, it curled its lips.

So it’s not okay for others to call you little devil, but you can just call me Xiaojiu?
"Okay, Jiu Xing, why did Sarutobi Shinnosuke bother you?"

Hinata Nao asked again.

"Maybe he's jealous."

After washing the dishes, the red-haired boy wiped the water off his hands and came to the girl who would become his mother-in-law in the future.

But it's a pity that if the story had developed along the original trajectory, Naruto and Hinata together would not even be a pair of living parents.

"Jealous?"

"Why are you jealous?"

Hinata Nao was a little confused.

"Haha, who knows?"

Jiu Xing gave a strange smile, which made Hinata Nao speechless.

This kid is full of bad intentions.

"That's the prince of Konoha, aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?"

"It's interesting because he's the prince."

"I just like to see people hate me but can't get rid of me."

Looking at the guy in front of her laughing, Hyuga Nao couldn't help but think of Uzumaki Kushina mentioned by Hyuga Hinata.

It’s hard to imagine what this kid would look like if he were a girl.

White lotus?
Little green tea?
"There are only a few places you can stay all day long, so you have to find something fun to do."

"Otherwise I'll suffocate to death."

Jiu Xing took out an orange from the refrigerator and handed it to Hinata's mother in front of him.

The Nine-Tailed Fox in Jiu Xing's body is a complete Nine-Tailed Fox. It is not the same Eight Trigrams Seal as the illusory Uzumaki Naruto in the future, but just a simple Four Symbols Seal.

The Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto Uzumaki's body is not only not as powerful as his, but the seal on its body is also stronger than his.

What he has in his body is just a castrated version of the Yang Nine-Tails that was killed by Minato Namikaze, while what he has in his body is a complete Yin-Yang Nine-Tails, so he is more likely to go berserk than Naruto Uzumaki.

Uzumaki Mito specially built a set of barriers for him to be used with the Four Symbols Seal for this situation. And the place where he lives now is at the limit of the range covered by this barrier.

Because of this, his range of activities is firmly fixed in this small area.

Once he leaves this barrier, the Nine-Tailed Fox will easily take advantage of him if he encounters any provocation.

As for why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so tolerant of him, apart from the fact that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it was probably because this was one of the few things he felt guilty about.

Looking at the calm-faced boy in front of her, Hinata Nao couldn't help but be stunned.

Only then did she remember that the mission she had received previously specifically emphasized that the kid in front of her was strictly prohibited from leaving the nearby area.

Could this also be related to the Nine-Tailed Fox?
It must be uncomfortable for such a lively guy to be confined to one area, right?
Hinata Nao, who had been raised under the protection of others almost since she was a child, couldn't help but feel a little pity for the indifferent little kid in front of her.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.

She looked at the little guy in front of her with her pure white eyes, and she said softly:

"If you were given a chance to choose, would you still come to Konoha at that time?"

Jiu Xing looked at Hinata's mother in front of him with a strange expression, and said as a matter of course:
"Of course, why not?"

"If I hadn't come running, I would have been gone."

"I'm horrified."

"When you are alive, everything is possible. When you die, there is nothing."

"What's even scarier is that if I died, I'm sure many people in the village would applaud and cheer."

"In order to prevent them from being so happy, I can only try my best to live."

"And Xiaojiu is quite interesting too."

Xiaojiu?

Hinata Nao's brain was a little out of order.

Does Xiaojiu refer to the Nine-Tailed Fox?
Such a terrifying existence, and this little kid actually gave him such a cute nickname?

Should we say that she is worthy of being Uzumaki Kyuyuki?
cut……

I am not some little nine...

—

"Someone, help me, I'm starving!"

"I want to complain!"

"I want to complain about your abuse!"

The ninja in charge of guarding the prison couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the girl with the white eyes in front of him acting so unreasonably.

I mentioned above that we should not make things difficult for her for the time being, and I also provide her with good food and drink, but this Hyuga member who is like a bad girl just complains about this and that.

Sometimes he complained that the food was not tasty and threw it all away, and sometimes he complained that the bed was too hard and he couldn't sleep.

Is she going to jail or on vacation?

"Shut up!"

"You didn't eat, and now you're still hungry?"

The prison ninja looked at Hyuga Hinata in front of him with displeasure.

"Look at your food, is it for human consumption?"

“It’s so salty!”

"When I get out, I'll make you pay!"

Hinata Hyuga looked at the ninja in front of her who was responsible for guarding her and said viciously.

“Eat it if you like it!”

"Shut up now!"

Guarding prisoners is an easy job, but when encountering such a stubborn guy, it is not advisable to be too harsh.

I am unlucky too.
