Shukaku's Trick

Synopsis
It is decided that Shukaku will be staying with Naruto Uzumaki until a safehouse is created to keep the Otsutsuki clan from going after the Tailed Beasts. Sasuke Uchiha heads out to track down Urashiki. Shukaku does not like the idea of staying in the same room as Kurama but reluctantly agrees since Naruto and Gaara asked him for his safety. When first arrived at home, Himawari Uzumaki treats Shukaku as a toy and pet much to his dismay. Naruto explains to Boruto that the Tailed Beast, Kurama is the source of his power but in the past, Jinchurikis who were used as vessels for their Tailed Beast were treated as secret weapons. Naruto conferences with Gyuki, Saiken, Isobu, and Son Goku to tell them about the situation. Matatabi, Chomei, and Kokuo are absent because they decided to "pass" on going into safety as they like to roam free. Kurama goes to make fun of Shukaku because of the embarrassment he went through with the Otsutsuki with him arrogantly stating he could do a better job against the Otsutsuki much to Shukaku's anger.

Naruto spends time with his family to supervise Shukaku and pass time with his family. Himawari first shows Shukaku around from the toy that imitates him much to his annoyance to trying to feed him with ramen which causes him to stay in his kettle. Shukaku after overhearing how Himawari overpowered Kurama decides to ask how she did it but she states that she didn't remember. It is only when Shukaku is about to be thrown into a scrap yard, Himawari activates her Byakugan and saves Shukaku changing a bit of his outlook on humans. Shukaku and Kurama shares a last conversation together before he heads out to the safehouse prepared but not before waving his tail goodbye to Himawari.
