After Tsunade checked me up and left, I closed my eyes and tried to enter my mindscape.
It turned out to be rather easy.
I found myself in front of a big cage, and from the darkness, big eyes opened.
I froze as the immense killing intent landed on me.
"You aren't Naruto."
I bit my tongue and held myself firm, facing Kurama.
Afterall, I have to confront him sooner or later. I can't be afraid of him.
"Yeah. I am not him. He died, and I somehow found myself in his body."
I admitted it. It no use trying to hide it from him.
And in any case, it's not like Kurama will tell others.
"Do you see this seal?"
He pointed towards the seal on the cage's gate.
"Yeah?"
"Open it."
...Does he think I am dumb or what?
"I will open it after I am strong enough, will that be alright?"
"No. Open it right now, or I will tear you apart!"
Kurama came in full view, and started thrashing against the cage.
I put my fist against his paw, and sent some chakra.
Ninshu should work like this, right?
Kurama suddenly froze and stopped thrashing, and then sent me some of his chakra.
And when he did that, I felt everything.
His anger.
His hatred.
His distrust.
His loneliness.
It was overwhelming.
"How do you know about Ninshu?"
He asked me, and I was about to answer him, but for some reason, I hesitated.
Ah. I guess I don't trust him either.
Things like this aren't as easy as fanfics portray.
I don't want to try to take advantage of Kurama using my future knowlede, hoping that things will be easier.
I hope that we can be more honest with each other naturally overtime.
"Well, that's a secret for now."
I withdrew my fist, and looked back at the mindscape.
The least I can do is to change this depressing scenery.
Since it's my mindscape, I can probably control it to an extent, right?
I focused, and it changed to my room of my previous life.
Huh? It was easier than I thought.
I looked around, and even found my phone.
It's working!?
...No. It's more like a mere projection of what my phone had.
Of what is stored in my memories.
"What are you doing?"
"Just wait."
I opened the anime pirate website, and put on a peak aanime, 'That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime'.
"What's this!?"
"It's called anime. Enjoy!"
"Hmph! I don't want to watch!"
He roared and pushed me out of my mindscape.
What a tsundere.
