The Nine-Tailed's voice was low, seemingly filled with intense anger.
It rang in his ears, making them ache.
He had just been born, and such an existence was sealed within him?
Naruto was momentarily dazed.
Then, he looked at the Great Fox, who was baring its fangs and looking ferocious.
A slight smile played on his lips.
Beneath that fierce exterior, it was actually a very cute fox.
Without hesitation, Naruto walked directly towards the Sealing Gate.
Now it was the Nine-Tailed's turn to be dazed.
Are you really coming?
"Bastard!"
"Am I cute? I'll kill you!"
Naruto: "..."
"Now that you mention it, I agree with myself in the black frame world."
"He was right, Great Fox, you are indeed very cute."
"Hmm... your tsundere nature isn't as good as Sasuke's, but you can make up for it with cuteness."
Kurama: "???"
Are you crazy?!
The Nine-Tailed glanced at Naruto, who was steadily approaching.
Then he gave a cold laugh and lay down.
Damn brat, he still makes it hard for a fox to dislike him.
Aside from looking in a mirror, this was the first time the Nine-Tailed had seen Naruto with his own eyes.
However, a foolish brat is still foolish.
Once I catch him, he'll be torn to shreds!
Before tearing him to shreds, I should let him tear off the sealing strip on the Sealing Gate first.
Hmm... before tearing off the sealing strip (jutsu) on the Sealing Gate, I should let him find the 'key' to this gate first.
Hmm...
In just a moment, the Great Fox, who had just been fiercely wishing to tear Naruto to shreds, began to plan its grand escape.
And in the Great Fox's mind, Naruto, who was supposed to be torn to shreds, became perfectly whole, even covered in a layer of golden Chakra.
Ino Yamanaka: "Pfft~"
Ino Yamanaka: "So cute, handsome godfather, I want one too, will you catch one for me to play with~"
Uchiha Izuna: Hmm?
Uchiha Izuna: Oh, right, the Fourth Hokage still has half a fox inside him... Uchiha Izuna: Big Brother, with your way of doing things, you must have a backup plan. If I can't be revived, then catch the other half of the Nine-Tailed for Ino.
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Kurama (Yin): "..."
Thinking of this.
The Nine-Tailed's eyes instantly turned fierce.
Bang—!!!
The next second, the mountain-like Great Fox moved.
He slammed a paw heavily onto the Sealing Gate.
Rumble—
Naruto only felt his ears ache from the shock.
And the Great Fox in front of him was still baring its fangs.
"Damn brat, come closer!"
"Hurry up and let me tear you to shreds!"
Pfft—
Naruto wasn't scared; instead, he was amused by its words.
However, he noticed that this incredibly sturdy Sealing Gate...
That last blow wasn't light.
Yet, this Sealing Gate remained completely still.
And the sealing jutsu in the middle of the gate showed no reaction at all.
'A very strong seal.'
'I sense a strange yet somewhat familiar Chakra.'
'And another one.'
'Is it a seal jointly cast by my mother and the Fourth Hokage?'
'Indeed, the Great Fox is so powerful... But, I, just born, shouldn't have the conditions to be a vessel for the Great Fox, right?'
'Is this the cause of the Fourth Hokage's death?'
He couldn't figure it out, because it was an Uchiha historical document.
So, it was normal for the information recorded about the Nine-Tails Rampage to be scarce.
Such detailed records might only exist in the historical documents of the Sarutobi Clan.
Or by checking the Anbu's mission records.
But obviously, Naruto currently had no way to obtain them.
However, it wasn't without a solution.
Another small scheme came to mind.
"Brat!"
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
"Are you scared silly?"
"Don't you usually like to act like an adult?"
"..."
The Great Fox was chattering away.
Naruto's train of thought was also interrupted.
Once interrupted, he was too lazy to think; there was no need for such urgency now.
"Come over here!"
The Great Fox roared.
"Oh."
The Great Fox was stunned.
This familiar response...
Damn it!
Foolish brat, what do you take me for?
Seeing Naruto actually walk straight towards him, the Great Fox suddenly felt a bit awkward; if he didn't make a move or two, he'd lose face.
"Great Fox, should I tear off that seal strip up there?"
Naruto came before the Great Fox.
He looked up at the mountain-like Great Fox.
A characteristic smile was on his face.
The Nine-Tailed's eye twitched.
Is this how you're going to do it?
So, the Nine-Tailed was too lazy to pretend anymore.
All traces of fierceness vanished from his face.
Then he lazily lay down in front of Naruto.
"What's the use of tearing it off?"
"You don't have the key required for this Sealing Gate."
"To open this gate... I estimate you'll have to start with your hateful father's master, Jiraiya."
"Oh~" Naruto smiled and nodded in response.
Kurama: "..."
"Great Fox, aren't you usually... hmm~ very bored here all alone?"
"Nonsense!" The Nine-Tailed rolled his eyes at him.
The style suddenly changed.
It caught people off guard.
However, this Nine-Tailed, powerful enough to suffocate, truly was a scummy fox.
"Damn Fourth Hokage, to seal me inside a brat like you."
"Want to control my power? Daydreaming!"
The Great Fox grumbled angrily.
Just a moment ago, he was still yelling about tearing Naruto to shreds.
Yet, he turned around and seemed to be complaining about his own grievances.
'Indeed, the Will of Fire inheritor... Heh heh, no wonder he could become the Fourth Hokage.'
'yellow flash... If only I could find the scrolls he left behind, then I could bypass the Old Thing and directly obtain the Flying Thunder God.'
'Flying Thunder God... it shouldn't be much different from my current Body Flicker Technique, but if I can get it and learn it, it will likely be a significant improvement.'
The Great Fox was still grumbling.
Naruto simply sat down.
But before sitting down, he suddenly thought, since it's a mental world... can his mental power materialize things in this Sealing Space, or rather, this mental world?
And can he cultivate in it?
If he can cultivate here, then when meditating... will his mental power increase more efficiently?
Think it, do it!
The Nine-Tailed was still chattering incessantly.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.
Naruto created five Shadow Clones.
Then he directly sat down and began to meditate.
And Naruto's main body sat down virtually behind them.
Next.
The Nine-Tailed's pupils suddenly contracted.
Naruto didn't plop down on the ground.
A chair appeared beneath him.
Then, Naruto closed his eyes and leaned back.
The chair disappeared.
In its place was a soft, large bed, and a blanket appeared from above and fell.
Bang—
However, it didn't last more than three seconds.
Naruto fell directly to the ground.
It hurt quite a bit... just like during Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan jutsu, Tsukuyomi.
Naruto rubbed his somewhat groggy head.
Just that one action consumed a lot of mental power.
This was the first time he had consumed such a large amount of mental power, apart from continuously releasing genjutsu and being caught in Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
Looking at the Great Fox's disbelieving face.
A slight smile played on Naruto's lips.
"Great Fox, do you want to move to a comfortable big room?"
"We won't live in this dark and damp sewer."
The Great Fox tilted its head and looked at him.
"Great Fox, I need you to help me train~!"
