Yamanaka Kei's subconscious action undoubtedly hurt Yugito Nii's young heart.
The experiences of Jinchuriki in various villages are actually not that different.
Even Killer Bee, who later took on disciples and held concerts in the village, was always followed by those hateful, fearful, panicked, and repulsive gazes.
The only difference is that Killer Bee still had a 'brother' to take care of him.

He also had the courage to be willful, isolate the entire village in reverse, and live in his own world.
But others...
Most of them are alone. Even when injured or wronged, they can only lick their wounds in a corner.
"I'm sorry..."
Yugito Nii's golden hair, which should have been as dazzling as the sun, seemed to have lost its luster at this moment.
Her little head drooped, and her two small hands were tightly clenched together.
She bowed to Yamanaka Kei to apologize, her toes slightly shifting direction, obviously preparing to escape quickly.
But the next moment.
The sensation from the top of her head made her body stiff.
Like a frightened kitten, she dared not move at all.
"Cough cough~ I just came back from a mission outside the village, and I'm a little stressed. You should understand, right? Um... I don't know much about what happened in the village. How about we go take a look together?"
Yamanaka Kei rubbed the little girl's head with one hand.
How should he put it?
Soft, fluffy, with a first-class feel!
The original owner of this appearance, Sesei, was honest and dull. After decades of ninja life, he fully realized his ordinariness and mediocrity, and his life was also filled with the timidity of a mediocre middle-aged man who looked before and after.
Logically speaking, Yamanaka Kei's behavior at this time did not conform to the original owner's character.
But he wouldn't be staying for many days anyway.
Once the mission is completed, he will quickly return to Konoha.
If it doesn't fit, then it doesn't fit!
The little girl was hurt by his retreating action, like a wounded kitten, looking pitiful no matter how you look at it.
If he doesn't comfort her, he's afraid that he'll have to give himself a big slap in the face when he lies in bed at night.
And add a sentence, 'I really deserve to die!'
"...Yeah!"
The warm touch from the top of her head made Yugito Nii's originally stiff body slowly relax.
Almost without thinking, she believed Yamanaka Kei's words.
A ninja who has just returned to the village from a mission is bound to have gone through a fierce battle, and their spirit is extremely tense!
That's right! Just like that!
This uncle doesn't hate or ostracize her at all!
Yamanaka Kei lightly patted Yugito Nii's little head in response.
His gaze paused on the other party's entry for a moment, then he prepared to squeeze head-on into the crowd.
...
Name: Yugito Nii
Occupation: Ninja Academy Student
Entries: Two-Tails Jinchuriki (Red), Flexible and Light (Blue), Strong (Green), Lonely (Gray).
...
Yugito Nii closely followed behind Yamanaka Kei, her small hand tentatively grabbing the corner of his clothes.
Seeing that the uncle in front of her didn't react to this,
her big eyes became even brighter, and a smile unconsciously bloomed on her slightly chubby face.
"...If you keep doing this, I'm going to kidnap you!"
Yamanaka Kei complained inwardly.
To be honest, he was just here to carry out an assassination mission.
Assassinate some high-level members of Cloud Village to confuse the public and divert firepower for Konoha.
Tailed Beast Jinchuriki or anything like that has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, if something happened to the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Cloud Village would probably go crazy on the spot!
According to their style of doing things, where muscles are more important than brains, if they can't figure out who kidnapped their Jinchuriki, then
they'll beat everyone up, and see if you confess.
"Thinking about it like that, it seems doable?"
Yamanaka Kei quickly shook his head, throwing the wild thoughts out of his mind.
If Tsunade was the Hokage of Konoha now, he would definitely kidnap her back without saying a word.
With the Third Hokage and Danzo in charge...
Heh~
He was afraid that as soon as he kidnapped the Jinchuriki, a contemporary 'Hyuga Hizashi' would appear in the Yamanaka Clan and be handed over to Cloud Village to atone for his sins.
After all, his identity is what it is.
The strongest member of the Yamanaka Clan, a staunch Hokage faction, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki's fiancé...
As long as the Third Hokage and Danzo don't want the village to be full of resentment and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki to have problems at the same time, then his safety won't be a problem.
But if he were just an ordinary member of the Yamanaka Clan...
"Little loli... cough cough, little girl~ you're lucky this time!"
Yamanaka Kei glanced at the little girl who was tightly clutching the hem of his clothes behind him.
Yugito Nii saw him look over.
She immediately raised her head, revealing a slightly shy, bright smile.
As if she had grasped the most precious thing, this little girl was trying her best to show her best side.
"..."
Yamanaka Kei once again raised his hand and rubbed her little head, a 'kind' smile also appearing on his face.
A Jinchuriki, huh...
Another sigh in his heart, but again, there was no follow-up.
Position, situation, ability.
No matter which one, it prevented him from being able to show great kindness, to take on everything and say or do anything.
...
Halfway up the towering rock pillars on both sides of the street.
Two Cloud Village Anbu stood on the steep rock wall, their eyes always following the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii.
"Captain, who is that person following the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"
One of the Anbu, who was obviously very young, asked in a nervous tone.
"Sesei, a Chunin, a good-natured person, has a child who just graduated from the Ninja Academy."
The older Anbu ninja narrowed his eyes for a moment, then turned his head again to look at the center of the attack.
Compared to the Jinchuriki, he was more concerned about what was going on there.
If it was just an assassination, even if it was a high-ranking official who died, it shouldn't have caused such a big commotion.
The entire village had been alarmed, but the alarm still hadn't stopped.
Wasn't this afraid of causing unnecessary turmoil?
Or was someone trying to achieve some goal by taking advantage of this assassination?
"...So, there's no need to be nervous?"
The young Anbu was obviously still not very relieved.
"You don't understand, people with children always have some worthless sympathy and pity when they see other children of the same age as their own."
"Even if the other party is a Jinchuriki?"
"A Jinchuriki is not some heinous monster, you are Anbu, not an ignorant villager, use your brain!"
"Yes! Captain!"
The older Anbu squad leader punched his subordinate on the head.
He knew very well that the power of the Tailed Beast was always awe-inspiring.
Whether one can recognize the truth and whether one can treat a Jinchuriki like a normal person are two completely different things.
Just like him.
As an Anbu squad leader, he had participated in the sealing of the Eight Tails and the sealing of the Two-Tails.
He watched helplessly as the people around him fell one after another under the power of the Tailed Beast.
Even after telling himself many times that the Jinchuriki are not the Tailed Beast, that they are heroes chosen by the village to seal and control the Tailed Beast.
But the hatred, sadness, and Resentment caused by the death of his comrades would always flood his heart the moment he saw the Jinchuriki.
He couldn't do it!
Faced with the collision of reason and emotion, and the condemnation of morality and conscience towards himself.
All he could probably do was stay away.
Neither face it nor hurt it.
"Sesei, if you can, let her live a little easier."
The mask on the Anbu squad leader's face concealed his complex expression.
He wondered in his heart whether he should say a few kind words to Sesei when he reported to the Raikage-sama tomorrow.
After all, his child and Sesei's child were still teammates
