Perhaps it was his first time enjoying sleep. Gaara slept so soundly. After being woken up by Zhang Miao, he was still in a half-awake state.
"Big brother... sleeping is so comfortable. I really want to sleep a little more... Huu..."
"Haha!" Looking at his dazed appearance, Zhang Miao immediately laughed and then rubbed his little head with a doting expression.
"Let's eat first. We'll sleep after we finish eating!"
"Oh!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara obediently followed him out of the room and went to the living room to eat. However, halfway through eating, he fell asleep on the table again.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao, who was eating, shook his head helplessly.
"Looks like it's because he suppressed Shukaku for too long, causing his spirit to be too exhausted. So when he relax, it will be like this. But I just don't know how long this will last. Hmm... Speaking of which, the dishes I cook are really getting more and more delicious. Hmm, not bad..."
Zhang Miao waved his chopsticks and ate happily. He smacked his lips. On the other hand, Gaara was sleeping soundly on the table. From time to time, he would also smack his lips, giving off a strange feeling of coordination.
When Zhang Miao finished eating and put down his chopsticks, Gaara had already entered a deep sleep. Looking at his sleeping little face, Zhang Miao immediately smiled. He reached out and picked him up, then sent him back to his room.
Just as Zhang Miao covered him with a blanket and was about to leave immediately, Gaara reached out and grabbed Zhang Miao's sleeve. "Big brother, don't leave. Don't leave me alone, big brother..."
"Huh?" Hearing his words, Zhang Miao was stunned at first. When he realized that he was sleep-talking, he could not help but grin. "So it's a dream. This little fellow..."
Looking at Gaara who was clutching his sleeves tightly, Zhang Miao did not dare to pull his hand too hard, fearing that he would accidentally wake him up.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Miao simply climbed onto the bed himself and hugged Gaara in his arms. He gently touched his head again.
"Be good. Big brother is here. Go to sleep!"
Seemingly hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara's originally nervous expression immediately relaxed. The corners of his mouth also revealed a hint of a smile. After muttering "big brother", he fell asleep again.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Miao's mouth curled into a smile again. "From this point of view, he is somewhat similar to that fellow Naruto!"
Zhang Miao looked at the hand that touched Gaara's head.
"At first, I thought that my hand would be blocked by the Sand again. I didn't expect it to be nowhere. It seems that my consciousness can also have a certain effect on the Sand. What an interesting little fellow!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao turned to look at the gradually descending night outside the window, and then gently rubbed Gaara's little head again.
"It's already dark. I should sleep too!"
Zhang Miao's sleep had always been good. After closing his eyes, he quickly fell asleep. However, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange place.
This was an endless desert wilderness. Apart from sand, there was nothing on the ground. There was not a single star in the night sky. Even the full moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, revealing only a little light.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately frowned.
"Genjutsu? No, in this world, no one should be able to cast genjutsu on me from afar. Is this a dream?"
Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, a loud and sharp voice rang out not far away.
"Hahaha... Kurama, I can feel your aura. Where are you? Do you want to fight with me? You stinking fox!"
Zhang Miao: "... "
"Damn, who is this? Why is he so brave?"
In Zhang Miao's impression, the Nine-tails should be the most violent and ferocious of the tailed beasts. Among all the tailed beasts, only the eight-tailed Gyuki dared to wrestle with it, and it always won most of the time.
But now there was actually someone who dared to provoke it. This immediately aroused Zhang Miao's curiosity, and he immediately walked in the direction of the voice.
Soon, Zhang Miao understood who the voice was.
It was a behemoth made of sand, and it looked like a giant raccoon with countless violet markings on its body.
At first glance, Zhang Miao recognized its identity.
"Shukaku!"
It turned out that the one in front of Zhang Miao at this time was Shukaku. At this time, he was locked in a huge iron cage, and there was an Eight Trigrams-shaped lock on the outside of the iron cage.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Miao suddenly understood that he was not dreaming, but entered Gaara's inner world because he was sleeping with him.
This is Gaara's inner world? But why do I come here? In the past, Naruto often burrowed into my arms to sleep, but why haven't I been to Naruto's inner world?
Just as Zhang Miao's heart was filled with doubt, Shukaku's voice rang out again.
"Eh? Kurama, how did you become a little bug like a human? Don't think that I can't recognize you just because you become like this. Smelly fox, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Uncle Shukaku laughing at you? If you have the ability, come in and fight with me!
Zhang Miao: "…"
"Damn it, why didn't I find out that Shukaku was a fool before?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao shook his head helplessly. Then he walked to the front of the cage and looked up at Shukaku.
"Hey, Shukaku, you are locked in the cage, yet you still don't stop talking? Speaking of which, is there something wrong with your eyes? Where did you see that I am Kurama?"
"Ha? Is there a need to ask?" As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Shukaku showed a sneer and disdain,
"The fox tail behind you has already been exposed!"
"The fox tail behind me?"
Hearing Shukaku's words, Zhang Miao immediately looked back, and then he found that there were indeed nine furry fox tails behind him. At this time, they were swinging left and right in the air, swaying very happily.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Hiss... what exactly is going on?"
"Boss, don't worry!" Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"This is the way Boss embodies the Nine-tails Chakra!"
"The way to embody the Nine-tails Chakra?"
After hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao suddenly remembered that when he recruited the Nine-tails, he had obtained the complete Nine-tails Chakra, so he immediately nodded.
"Hm, I remember now. At that time, your explanation was that because the chakra of Kurama was too large, it could not be stored in a normal way, so it generated something in my body. It also said that it was equivalent to raising a small pet, right?"
"Yes!" Seeing that Zhang Miao remembered, the system explained to him.
"This chakra is led by the boss, and it is closely connected to the boss' consciousness. After materializing, it became the boss' tail."
"So that's how it is!" Hearing the system's answer, Zhang Miao immediately nodded, "No wonder Shukaku recognized me as Kurama."
This time, Zhang Miao finally understood why he could come here, because this was not Gaara's inner world, but should be called "Gaara's tailed beast land"!
