"So, why did you choose me?"
"Why not choose someone else?"
"Why?"
Roshi stared at Mu with wide eyes, complaining about him choosing her as a Jinchuriki.
Mu was slightly speechless.
Actually, aside from the possibility of being ostracized, becoming a Jinchuriki was a good thing.
For those who liked power, becoming a Jinchuriki meant their potential was elevated, and they could control more power.
"Because at that time, among that group of children, only you were suitable to become a Jinchuriki."
Mu slowly spoke.
Roshi still wanted to retort, but Mu didn't give him the chance.
"Actually, becoming a Jinchuriki isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering. It wasn't us who chose you, but fate. We also wished to choose a designated person, but no other children met the conditions to become a Jinchuriki."
"You can understand it as you being lucky."
Mu looked at Roshi and said.
"But it only brings me trouble! Everyone sees me as a monster!"
Roshi said angrily.
Mu gently placed his hand on Roshi's head.
"Then why not think about what good it can bring you? For example, borrowing its power to do things that people admire…" Mu suggested.
"I did, but I always lose control of my strength. It's too great, and I always lose control at crucial moments…" Roshi said self-reproachfully.
Mu frowned slightly. Could it be the Four-Tails causing trouble?
"Look at me."
Mu slowly formed hand signs.
When he sealed it, he left his Chakra in the sealing space so he could enter the sealing space and communicate with the Tailed Beast.
Buzz!
The next second, Mu entered the sealing space.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
His feet were in accumulated water, and Mu slowly walked through it.
Soon, a huge cage appeared before Mu's eyes.
Immediately after, the colossal Tailed Beast's figure vaguely emerged from the depths of the cage!
"It's you! You bastard actually came in!"
The Four-Tails opened its enormous eyes and looked at Mu coldly.
"Yes, I came in to talk to you about Roshi's power control. Is it you who keeps lending him power?"
"He's just a child; he can't control your power at all. It's easy for him to lose control and cause damage to the Village."
"Even if you want to lend him power, you should wait until he becomes a Ninja."
Mu said indifferently.
"Hmph! I won't give him even a bit of Chakra after he becomes a Ninja. You despicable humans don't deserve it!"
"I just want him to cause destruction, to generate negative emotions, to make him hate your Village!"
The Four-Tails grew angrier as he spoke, shouting his words.
After venting, the Four-Tails spoke again with a mocking, predatory tone.
"You tiny humans aren't worthy of speaking to me!"
"As an elder of Iwagakure, in my eyes, you are nothing but a baby, even smaller than a baby for a long time!"
"Don't think you can lord over me now. Let's see who laughs last in a hundred years!"
The Four-Tails scoffed.
Mu frowned. This guy was getting a sense of superiority.
"Heh heh…"
Mu chuckled twice.
"What are you laughing at?!"
The Four-Tails continued to curse, looking at Mu.
"Heh heh…"
"Excuse me, are you the Six Paths Sage Hagoromo's pet, the Four-Tails Son Goku from Water Curtain Cave, little one?"
Mu looked at the Four-Tails Son Goku and chuckled as he spoke.
The Four-Tails Son Goku's body trembled. He abruptly lowered his head, his pupils staring at Mu below in shock.
The contempt in his eyes was gone, replaced by extreme shock.
Holy crap! Instant recognition?!
"Human!!!! How do you know my name!?"
"Tell me!!! How do you know!?"
"And you even know that person's name!!"
"Who exactly are you!?"
The Four-Tails Son Goku roared, frantically shaking the bars of the sealing space and pounding the sealing space with his fists, causing a massive earthquake within the sealing space.
The Four-Tails was so agitated because the only ones who knew his name, besides the other eight Tailed Beasts, were the Six Paths Sage, or Ashura and Indra.
And those people had died thousands of years ago!
The other Tailed Beasts would never spread their names everywhere.
Even if his name was spread, that person's name couldn't possibly be known!
Yet this person in front of him actually knew.
Not only his own name but also the name of that great one, which he himself only learned in the Six Paths Sage's later years!
It truly astonished the Four-Tails!
"I warn you, don't be naughty!"
Mu said indifferently.
"Human, what is your purpose?"
The Four-Tails Son Goku dropped his previous contemptuous expression and stared intently at Mu.
"I want you to obey my commands, or your consequences will be dire!"
Mu said.
"Then tell me, how do you know all that? Why do you know that person's name?"
The Four-Tails Son Goku was still bothered by Mu knowing the Six Paths Sage's name.
"I'll tell you these things when I'm about to die of old age."
Mu said with a smirk.
Next, Mu ignored the Four-Tails Son Goku.
Instead, he quickly formed hand signs and summoned Yatagarasu.
"Caw caw caw~~~"
Yatagarasu slowly opened its large beak and spat out a scroll.
This was the key to sealing the Four-Tails.
In the original story, Minato relied on Gamatora, the scroll toad, to protect the Eight Trigrams Seal key.
Mu also used the Eight Trigrams Seal and chose to have Yatagarasu store the key.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"
Mu quickly applied several techniques to the sealing formula, dividing it into a small scroll and a large scroll.
The large scroll was directly put into Yatagarasu's mouth.
He held the small scroll in his hand.
Then he pulled Roshi into the sealing space as well.
"This is…"
"Hiss! Isn't this the place where I have nightmares every night?"
Roshi looked around in surprise and then looked up to see the Four-Tails Son Goku.
"Little brat…"
The Four-Tails Son Goku showed a chilling expression.
Roshi, somewhat scared, hid behind Mu.
"Don't be afraid, I've prepared something for you. You can try it."
Mu threw the scroll in his hand to Roshi.
And told Roshi how to use the scroll.
Even without Chakra, it could be activated through the sealing formula on it.
Roshi quickly learned and then held the scroll towards the Four-Tails.
The Four-Tails Son Goku was slightly stunned.
The next second, several iron chains flew out from the scroll, tightly binding the Four-Tails Son Goku.
"From now on, if it doesn't listen, you can do this."
Mu said to Roshi.
After the two of them came out of the sealing space, Roshi was surprised to find that he could easily control that immense strength now.
He no longer had to worry about crushing things due to too much strength.
"Roshi, a Jinchuriki also has a Jinchuriki's responsibility. As long as you now approach everyone with love, the villagers will naturally accept you. At that time, they will not only accept you but even aspire to you, worship you…"
Mu patiently painted a grand picture for Roshi.
Children are easily swayed by this, especially a child like Roshi, who lacks love and is without parents.
"No matter what setbacks you encounter, never lose your sharp edge. Always stand firm like a rock."
"Unwavering and tenacious; this is the Will of Stone…"
