''Heh, are you sure you want to know~?'' Even without being able to see him, Meiyo could imagine the stranger's smile ''Uzumaki~'' He could heard his voice more closer. 

''Just say it, damn it... As you can surely see that I'm not in the best condition, you can save yourself the trouble'' Ignoring the fact that he had been recognized, Meiyo complained to the stranger. 

A bestial growl was heard "I don't know if it is idiocy that is inherited among the Uzumaki or if they are simply not afraid of death

Ignoring the insult towards his family, Meiyo replied ''Screw you. And you know what? If you're going to kill me, do it now ... My main objective is done ... And even if I wanted to continue with what was entrusted to me, I doubt I could do it with the wounds I have'' The stranger could see the Uzumaki with his arms and legs completely destroyed. His limbs had not been separated from the body because the union between the bones and ligaments still remained—the muscles seemed to be torn apart by beasts, and the skin was barely visible in some parts. Except for his head, his entire body was destroyed. 

A single thought crossed the beast's mind ''How is he still alive?'' He knew about the Uzumaki's very well, and to a certain extent, they had earned his respect—more than anything, a blonde whom he considered a younger brother. Although they were monsters of stamina and vitality, he knew that without the regeneration of any tailed beast, these wounds were fatal to any human. 

''Believe me that even if I wanted to kill you, I couldn't. But I'm amazed that you can still talk with your current state. I don't know how you haven't died with the injuries you have. And seeing that you are still conscious, the pain you will be feeling is surely not low'' He clarified with uncertainty in his voice. 

''Heh, of course it hurts like hell, but since I don't feel my lower body, I can only complain about my arms ... It's even amazing how I can think clearly ... I feel weakened, but not enough to faint'' He said with clear amazement in his voice, which was quickly supplanted by curiosity ''But what did you mean you can't kill me?'' 

''As you heard... Although I never had a body as such, there is something in this place that does not allow me to move as I wish... Again'' 

''Oh right, do you have any idea where we are? At first, I thought you were the shinigami and that you was here to claim my soul... But apparently I'm wrong, although you have the voice'' Again, he ignored most of what the stranger said. 

''Haaah~ this idiot is playing with my patience'' He thought to himself before answering ''Not even I would know how to tell you, but I do not feel comfortable with any of this. I am supposed to be dead by now, and I am sure you too should have had the same fate... I would not know how to explain it, but it is like someone else is controlling this place'' 

''Give me a break...'' He whispered, annoyed by the situation he found himself in ''At least if I'm going to be in a place that doesn't let me die, I would like to be able to heal myself, do not see anything and being immobile, It's annoying and painful'' 

''Of course you are not going to see anything if you have that creature in your face'' 

''WHAT!? AND YOU JUST SAID IT NOW!? Just get it out of my face!'' 

''I TOLD YOU I CAN NOT MOVE, DAMN HUMAN!'' Although the anger was palpable on both sides, the latter felt it as something nostalgic, a feeling that he thought he would never feel... Nostalgia in an argument with a damn human, without doubt, was something that bothered the beast ''Also, I am seeing how you can clench the fist of your right hand. Do something with that''
