"Hey, little girl, how do you know that name?" Matatabi asked directly, unable to figure it out.

"Is it strange that I know this? I know a lot of things!" Sakura shrugged nonchalantly. "Like your names, that old man's name, your origins, and the prophecy that old man entrusted to you!"

"Who are you?" Matatabi widened her eyes in Yugito Nii's body. She could understand if Sakura knew the names of the remaining tailed beasts from some ancient book, but when Sakura mentioned the old man, Six Paths Sage Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Matatabi became confused. Her intuition told her that Sakura was referring to Six Paths Sage, and the last sentence she said made her even more unsure.

The thing that Six Paths Sage said to them before he died had always been a secret hidden deep in the hearts of all the tailed beasts. Even if the tailed beasts and their Jinchuriki had a close relationship, no tailed beast had ever revealed this matter.

"I'm just an ordinary little kid who happens to know a little more!" Sakura didn't say much. She knew most of the so-called secrets in this world, including the things about Six Paths Sage Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

"Could it be..." At this moment, Matatabi's eyes lit up. She remembered the prophecy that Six Paths Sage had spoken of, "calling out the names of the nine beasts and playing with the blue-eyed boy." "Are you the person that the old man spoke of?"

"What are you thinking?" Sakura rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm a girl, a real girl, not a boy!"

"Right..." Matatabi suddenly felt disappointed. They had been waiting for thousands of years just to meet the son of the prophecy that the old man had spoken of. They finally saw a glimmer of hope, but it turned out to be a disappointment.

"You don't have to be too disappointed. I know who the old man was talking about!" Sakura's words reignited hope in Matatabi's heart.

"Tell me quickly, where is he?" Matatabi asked impatiently. According to the old man, when the son of the prophecy appeared, it would be the time for them, the nine tailed beasts, and the old man to meet again.

"I can't say for now. This world is not that peaceful!" Sakura hinted, then reached out her right hand towards Matatabi. "You should understand, right?"

"Ah!" Matatabi thought for a moment, then controlled her chakra to spread towards Sakura.

"Be careful!" Seeing this scene, whether it was Shikaku Nara, Kakashi, or Shisui, they all took a step forward nervously, blocking Sakura behind them.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything without confidence, and she won't hurt me either!" Sakura reassured them, then took a step forward and touched the chakra that Matatabi had extended.

In just an instant, Sakura felt a strange chakra rushing into her body.

In the dim sealing space, Matatabi looked at Sakura expectantly, while Yugito Nii had a cold face. The incident that happened in Konoha just now had caused her too much harm. She didn't know how to face the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee when she returned.

"Can you tell me now? No one else can hear us here!" Matatabi asked eagerly. For them, the tailed beasts, Six Paths Sage was like a father. They had been waiting for thousands of years just to see him again.

"The son of the prophecy that Six Paths Sage Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki spoke of is named Uzumaki Naruto. He is the current Nine-Tailed Fox Jinchuriki and also the reincarnation of Six Paths Sage's second son, Ashura chakra!" Sakura briefly explained. She wasn't worried about Yugito Nii overhearing them. With Matatabi's emphasis on this matter, Yugito Nii wouldn't tell anyone.

"Ashura?" Matatabi relaxed. They knew each other, and because Ashura had a good personality, their relationship was also good.

"Also, there's something else I need to tell you!" Sakura remembered the incident in the original work where Yugito Nii was captured by the Akatsuki. "There's an organization in the ninja world that is preparing to capture the tailed beasts. Their leader has already summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path (Gedo Mazo). You'd better be careful!"

"What? Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?" Matatabi shuddered. They could never forget the days when they were controlled by the Outer Path. If Six Paths Sage was their father, then the Outer Path was their mother. That thing had an unparalleled restraining power over all the tailed beasts.

"Don't worry too much. They won't act in the next few years. Maybe by the time they are ready to act, we will have grown enough to resist them!" Sakura comforted her. The Akatsuki wouldn't act against the tailed beasts for the time being. After all, the important members of the Akatsuki hadn't returned yet. It was impossible for Nagato, who was controlled by Obito, to single-handedly take on the five major ninja villages.

"If anyone wants to lay a hand on Matatabi, they'll have to get past me first!" Yugito Nii snorted. Although she only understood half of what Matatabi and Sakura were talking about, she heard clearly that someone wanted to capture the tailed beasts. The relationship between the Jinchuriki and the tailed beasts in Cloud Village was very good, unlike in other ninja villages. It was normal for Yugito Nii to care about Matatabi.

"Well, I believe Yugito Nii..." Matatabi grinned. Sakura shuddered. Was this the rhythm of a beauty and a beast falling in love? But that wasn't right. Matatabi was a female tailed beast.

"Anyway, that's about it!" Sakura snapped her fingers, and the space quickly changed. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an endless grassland. However, this time, only Sakura and Matatabi were left in the space, and Yugito Nii's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"This is the mental space I created. You can leave a part of your chakra here, and it will be convenient to contact me if you have anything to do in the future. But don't tell your Jinchuriki about the existence of this place!" Sakura explained. She planned to use this space as a secret base in the future. There would be many people appearing inside, so she couldn't let Yugito Nii know about it for the time being. "Of course, when you think Yugito Nii can be completely trusted, let me know, and then send a part of her chakra here!"

"Okay, I understand!" Matatabi nodded. Her relationship with Yugito Nii was good, but only good. It was okay for Yugito Nii to know some non-secret things like what they just talked about, but some hidden things couldn't be revealed to her for now.

After Matatabi left a part of her chakra, their consciousness returned to the tailed beast seal inside Yugito Nii.

"Where did you guys go just now?" Yugito Nii asked, feeling a sense of panic for no reason, as if someone had taken something from her.
