Da Mingren and Xiao Mingren bumped their heads together.
Immediately, two spiritual fluctuations entered the Sealing Space within Da Mingren's body.
"This environment really makes me nostalgic!"
Kurama stood behind Xiao Mingren, drinking cola and looking at the cage opposite, sighing.
The Nine-Tailed in the cage opposite also noticed the situation outside the cage.
"Huh? You... are you my other half? Why are you outside?"
"No... it's Yang... You're not my other half, who exactly are you?"
The Nine-Tailed thought of what Xiao Mingren had said earlier.
Regarding the 'other world' Xiao Mingren spoke of, the Nine-Tailed was somewhat dismissive.
Who was he? The leader of the nine Tailed Beasts, an existence that had lived for a thousand years. If there was another world, how could he not know about it?
But now... he truly believed it, because... another Nine-Tailed stood before him.
Just then, Da Mingren also noticed that an extra Nine-Tailed had appeared in his Sealing Space, and it was even outside the cage.
However... he always felt that the Nine-Tailed outside the cage was a bit off.
The Nine-Tailed outside the cage was much more corpulent than the one inside; in layman's terms, it was fat.
The Nine-Tailed inside the cage was much leaner, looking malnourished compared to the one outside.
"Hey, little me, what exactly is going on here?"
Da Mingren asked Xiao Mingren, a bit confused.
Xiao Mingren shrugged and said, "It's not that I wanted to enter your Sealing Space."
As he spoke, Xiao Mingren pointed at Kurama, who was slurping down his happy fat-house drink, and said, "It wanted to see how miserable its counterpart in another world was."
The Nine-Tailed: ...
The Nine-Tailed inside the cage was quite speechless, but... looking at the fatness and freedom of the Nine-Tailed outside the cage... he truly was a bit miserable by comparison.
Just then, the fat Kurama started shouting at the thin Kurama inside the cage.
"I say, brother, just give in! You can't get out anyway, so why not follow Naruto?"
The thin Kurama heard this and showed a look of disdain. "Though I don't know who you are, you actually submitted to a human. You're truly a disgrace to the Tailed Beasts!"
"Oh? You say that as if you're enslaving humans now. Aren't you still sealed inside a human? Instead of staying cooped up in a cage like this, isn't it better to come out for some fresh air sometimes?"
The fat Kurama now had a very clear perspective.
Not only because his Sealing Space had a garden villa, but also because he had read the original story and knew the truth of the Ninja World. Submitting to Naruto, or rather, becoming true companions with Naruto, was not shameful. This was also what the Sage of Six Paths hoped to see!
After all, Naruto was like half his son.
After hearing the fat Kurama's words, the thin Kurama fell silent.
It wasn't that he disagreed with the fat Kurama's words, but rather that his tsundere personality had kicked in.
Seeing that the thin Kurama remained silent, the fat Kurama grinned, then stepped forward, extending a massive finger into the sealing cage.
The thin Kurama also extended a finger to touch the fat Kurama's finger, and soon, parts of the original Hokage plot entered the thin Kurama's mind.
When he finished digesting the plot, his expression instantly turned serious. He then looked at Da Mingren and asked, "Is all this true? Is he really the person the Old Man spoke of?"
The fat Kurama shrugged and said, "Anyway, I believe it."
The thin Kurama was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I believe it too, but I want to be Naruto's big brother, not his little brother!"
The thin Kurama's tsundere personality resurfaced. He believed he wouldn't be as shameless as the fat Kurama, so... he wanted to be the big brother.
Da Mingren and Xiao Mingren below naturally heard the conversation between the two Kuramas.
Da Mingren was not foolish; he knew that this large fox's power was very strong, and with his help, he could reach a higher level.
When he heard the big fox say he wanted to be the big brother, Da Mingren immediately bowed, "Nine-Tailed, you'll be my big brother from now on..."
The thin Kurama: ...
Da Mingren's decisive attitude in becoming the little brother also made the thin Kurama's expression stiffen.
"Ahem..." After two light coughs, the thin Kurama said, "I have a name. I'm called Kurama. From now on, you can call me Boss!"
"Okay! Boss!"
Da Mingren immediately transformed into a little brother.
Xiao Mingren and the fat Kurama looked at each other, then a smile appeared on their lips.
Both were very familiar with Kurama. Although it seemed now that Kurama was the big brother and Da Mingren was the little brother, it wouldn't be long before it might be the other way around...
"Boss, since you're my Boss, lend me your power! I want to go out and beat up those Akatsuki Organization bastards!"
The thin Kurama heard this and shook his finger, saying, "Then you have to let me out first!"
Da Mingren: ...
Actually, after their conversation, Da Mingren had considered directly releasing the Kurama within him.
But just as he had that thought, he remembered his teacher Jiraiya's words.
"Naruto... you'll communicate more and more with the Nine-Tailed inside you. In the future, no matter what the Nine-Tailed says, do not release him, unless you are confident you can completely suppress him with your power!"
Naruto, with his talent for seeing into people's hearts, could tell that Kurama currently held little malice towards him.
But he couldn't ignore Jiraiya's words. This put him in a difficult position.
Finally, he could only turn his gaze to Xiao Mingren.
"Um... Xiao Mingren, please help me release Kurama!"
Although Xiao Mingren didn't know Da Mingren's thoughts, he didn't refuse.
Xiao Mingren didn't even ask Kurama for help. He simply used Moonwalk to go to the sealing talisman in the middle of the cage and tore it off.
Actually, Da Mingren couldn't completely break the seal because... he didn't have the key.
But Xiao Mingren had learned sealing techniques from Kushina, so breaking it was much simpler for him. He could easily break it even without a key.
He placed his hand on the seal, then rotated it slightly, and the seal began to unravel.
Just as the seal was being undone to the eighth lock, a figure appeared and stopped Xiao Mingren.
The one who stopped Xiao Mingren was Minato Namikaze.
Upon seeing Minato Namikaze, Xiao Mingren immediately released his Nen and Chakra to envelop him, allowing him to exist longer, then kicked him towards Da Mingren.
Minato Namikaze was still speechless, stunned by Xiao Mingren's series of actions.
Xiao Mingren's idea was simple: let this world's Naruto and his father have their heart-to-heart! He wouldn't get involved.
After kicking Minato Namikaze away, he continued to release the seal.
Soon, the seal was successfully broken, and the thin Kurama was completely released.
Once out of the cage, the thin Kurama, like a runaway husky, charged directly at the fat Kurama.
"Brat... I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"
The thin Kurama roared, then threw a powerful punch at the fat Kurama's face.
