"So this is what Ninjutsu is really about..."
The Nine-tails listened intently to Aomi's explanation, nodding in sudden realization, its two paws clapping together as if applauding...
This wasn't about putting on a show to please Aomi.
Rather, the Nine-tails truly wanted to cheer from the heart for Aomi's exceptional ninjutsu class!
Since being insultingly sealed by two humans, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the Nine-tails realized that its brutish force, which dominated for a millennium, is now outdated and can no longer use sheer Chakra to break through all techniques freely like a wild fox...
To regain freedom, the Nine-tails reflected deeply within the successive jinchuriki.
It needed to improve too!
The suppression brought by size couldn't overcome the True Thousand Hands and Complete Form of Susanoo... especially that damn giant Buddha, which pressed its palm on its head like grabbing a chick!
Tailed Beast Chakra's impact on the will shatters easily in front of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan...
And the seemingly powerful but slow-charging Tailed Beast Ball is not an effective means of destruction in front of highly mobile top-tier ninjas...
Though possessing mighty Chakra, lacking suitable ninjutsu is like a samurai without armor and blade, fighting strength with brute force alone.
And there's that Fuinjutsu, which it detests beyond measure, seemingly born as its natural counter attribute!
To deal with Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, these weaknesses must be addressed...
But the problem is.
There was once a chance to learn—an opportunity to listen under the Six Paths Sage, which the Nine-tails, as a little fox at the time, missed...
When the Nine-tails came to Uzumaki Mito's body, bound tightly, it realized how precious learning truly was!
Without access to external information and resources, absent a teacher or guidance...
The Nine-tails could only speculate on the ninjas' millennium-developed, systematic ninjutsu within its fantasy, attempting to decipher the secrets.
Obviously, the Nine-tails failed...
The widely practiced ninjutsu in the Ninja World, catalyzed by millennia of mutual slaughter and warfare, was filtered most efficiently through human lives...
It's not something a fox can mimic in a short time behind closed doors.
This man...
No, this fox...
Always doesn't cherish when easy to obtain, only in deep regret laments the lack of focus at the time...
But after meeting Aomi.
The situation began to reverse.
When Aomi descended into Naruto's body, as the native resident, the Nine-tails launched an attack on Aomi without reservation...
And the result was tragic.
Aomi gave the ordinary yet confident fox two big slaps, knocking it dizzy, almost scattering its very essence.
Once calm, the Nine-tails felt Aomi's Chakra and aura, and the whole fox's fur stood on end instantly!
The Nine-tails' first reaction was that Aomi was the Ten-tails...
Moreover, it was a humanoid form far more potent than the Ten-tails it knew!
It seemed that just two slaps from Aomi made the Nine-tails' Chakra act like a riot, rushing to this mysterious man's body as if Aomi possessed an infinite attraction to Chakra!
Even the Six Paths Sage back then didn't evoke such intense oppression from the Nine-tails...
But the odd thing is.
The Nine-tailed Chakra, craved fiercely by the entire Ninja World and even the Gedo Statue, doesn't interest Aomi at all; he doesn't absorb even a wisp into his body.
After summoning Namikaze Minato and Kushina, presenting techniques of controlling Chakra attributes to condense Inflated Truth-Seeking Orbs, the Nine-tails held heartfelt reverence for Aomi!
This is strength surpassing the Six Paths Sage!
Especially as Aomi's words hint at a carefree demeanor not of this worldly realm, wandering leisurely among people...
The Nine-tails increasingly sensed Aomi's mystery and power.
And when the Nine-tails saw Naruto continually train to become stronger, unconsciously revealing envy and yearning in its heart.
Aomi actually took it as a disciple!
Moreover, during this period, Aomi treated it and Naruto equally, breaking down many exceptionally valuable techniques and ninjutsu to teach them both...
To the extent that even the Nine-tails felt inflated!
Perhaps facing the bastards Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara again, it might not be powerless to challenge them!
In this period.
The Nine-tails also stealthily utilized its unique malice perception, thinking itself undetected, to probe Aomi...
This fox surprisingly discovered that Aomi truly bore no malice towards it!
It seemed purely wanting to teach it ninjutsu, just like the Six Paths Sage before...
Prompting subtle shifts in the Nine-tails' mentality regarding Aomi.
"...This is the usage of Shadow Clone, under your abundant Chakra conditions, this move is an excellent method for probing..."
Aomi explained various Shadow Clone techniques to the Nine-tails and Naruto.
From Lightning Release, Earth Release, Water Release, and other Five Elements Clone Jutsu, to advanced Multiple Shadow Clones, and even Wood Clone Jutsu indistinguishable from Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Nine-tails and Naruto watched Aomi's movements attentively, their small hands and big paws synchronously weaving hand seals, feeling the essence of the jutsu according to Aomi's detailed explanation.
