Inside the Sealing Space, a person and a fox stared at each other, big eyes versus small eyes.
Naruto pondered that he hadn't added any points to his Talk-no-Jutsu skill, and didn't think he could deceive a millennium-old fox, so it was better to speak frankly: "Big Fox, I recognize you."
The Nine Tails closed its eyes and ignored him. Nonsense, the entire Konoha recognized it.
"Everyone calls you the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox."
The Nine Tails still ignored him, hmph, humans.
"But you actually have a name, right, Kurama."
The Nine Tails finally opened its eyes, suddenly stood up, its huge head hitting the iron gate with a clatter: "How do you know, brat!"
Seeing the Nine Tails' excited appearance, Naruto suddenly wanted to be a little mischievous. Humans are strange creatures; in dangerous situations, they desperately struggle to survive, but in a safe environment, they occasionally want to court death.
For example, those videos circulating online asking why there are so few foreigners. Or, for example, some time ago, a tourist trespassed into a wild animal area, provoking 11 white tigers. He is probably still alive because the zoo's protective facilities were very well made.
Naruto now had the feeling of looking at a wild beast through a cage in front of the Nine Tails. As everyone knows, the Nine Tails in a cage, like the nameless one playing the erhu, is harmless, so...
Naruto tentatively said, "If I said I was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, would you prostrate yourself in worship?"
"Bang!" The Nine Tails slapped a paw on the door to express its attitude.
"Then you definitely wouldn't believe me if I said I was the reincarnation of Asura, right?"
"You even know about Asura!?" The Nine Tails was surprised. It could understand that this kid knew about the Sage of Six Paths because there were legends of him in the Shinobi World, but the name Asura was not well known.
"It's troublesome to explain, how about you calm down and listen to me slowly?"
The Nine Tails stared at him in silence for a few seconds, then lay down again: "Speak."
"Before that, let's get to know each other. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, hehe." Naruto showed a big smile.
"Hmph." The Nine Tails turned its head slightly, as if squeezing out a few words from between its teeth: "Kurama."
Naruto clapped his hands and started story-telling mode:
"It is said that in the beginning, Kaguya Otsutsuki came from beyond the heavens, wanting to turn humans into White Zetsu to nourish the God Tree. Fortunately, the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura joined forces to seal her.
Later, Hagoromo, that is, the Sage of Six Paths, used the Ten Tails Chakra and Yin-Yang Release to create the nine Tailed Beast, and found suitable habitats for them separately.
Later, a guy with his head stuck in the doorframe (Hashirama) took his brother around to capture Tailed Beast and distribute them to the major ninja villages, hoping to balance the strength of the countries through the power of the Tailed Beast, and then achieve peace. I call it nuclear deterrence.
So the Tailed Beast lost their freedom one after another.
However, things are unpredictable. Unexpectedly, Hashirama was ganked by his half-brother Madara, who ran away from home, and soon passed away. Then there were several wars in the Shinobi World, and peace was far away.
And the Tailed Beast, which Hashirama originally hoped to use to balance the power of various countries, were instead used as weapons of war."
"I already know all this. What I'm interested in is how you know these things." Although there were some words he hadn't heard before, the Nine Tails could generally understand.
Naruto felt unsatisfied. He was having a good time telling the story, why didn't he want to listen anymore? There was no way, the listener was the most important. Naruto had no choice but to explain:
"If I had to say, it's like I've seen it with my own eyes. Many scenes and sounds remain in my memory. As for how they came to be, I already knew when I was just born."
What Naruto said was the truth. He watched the anime in his previous life, so he really knew it since birth.
The Nine Tails generally believed it, mainly because this world really had such abilities. For example, the old Toad named Gamamaru on Mount Myoboku could occasionally dream of some fragments about the future. Back then, it was Gamamaru who guided the Sage of Six Paths to learn Sage Mode to fight against Kaguya.
It's not surprising that someone can see the past now, but why does it have to be this brat?
"Brat, what do you want to do?"
"I'm lusting after your body."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, I covet your power."
"Isn't 'covet' a derogatory term?"
"Yeah, because from your perspective, that's the word that should be used."
"Tch." Kurama lay down and closed its eyes. It had received a lot of information today and would observe more to see if this brat had anything to do with the old man.
"Anyway, we're acquainted now. I'm going to sleep, bye Big Fox!" Naruto waved his hand. He was still a child and couldn't stay up late. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy.
Three seconds later, Nine Tails reopened its eyes: "Why are you still here?"
"Um... how do I get out of here?"
...
In the end, Naruto came out. Naruto, who had communicated with the Fox Spirit for the first time, was in a good mood and very satisfied, sleeping soundly until morning.
In the morning, Naruto yawned as he walked out of his room. Minato was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, and Kushina was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Old Dad, Old Mom."
"Good morning."
"Go wash up, breakfast is ready."
Naruto washed up and sat opposite Kushina, taking a bite of the fried egg and saying indistinctly, "I saw the Big Fox last night."
Minato put down the newspaper and asked with a smile, "Fox? Did Naruto have a nightmare?"
"It wasn't a dream, it was that Big Fox with nine tails, locked inside iron bars."
"Pfft!" Kushina spat a mouthful of milk onto Naruto's face.
Naruto wiped his face expressionlessly, staring at Kushina resentfully without saying a word.
"Ah, sorry, sorry Naruto, Mom was just too surprised." Kushina turned to look at Minato: "Minato~"
"I know." Minato lifted Naruto's clothes and looked, saying, "The Sealing is fine."
That meant it was a normal meeting. Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Naruto, Mom is going to tell you something next, don't be afraid."
Naruto blurted out, "We are Shinobi, we are not afraid."
"That Fox is called Nine Tails, one of the nine Tailed Beasts..."
"Um..." Naruto raised his hand to interrupt, "I know all this."
"Since you already know... huh? How do you know?"
"Putting aside that you told me once when you were pregnant, even if you didn't tell m..."
"Wait! You remember things from before you were born?!"
"Yeah."
Kushina and Minato exchanged a look, and asked, "How much do you remember?"
"Most of it, like Old Mom once told me about Old Dad's heroic rescue, and then what Old Mom was thinking at the time..."
"Eh????? Don't say anymore!" Kushina, who was almost exposed for her girlish thoughts, already had a face as red as a tomato: "Forget everything that follows! Forget it!"
Minato smiled awkwardly beside her, a little curious about what Kushina had told Naruto.
"Yes, yes." Her son is so old, what's there to be shy about, Naruto slandered in his heart.
"Ahem." Having finally adjusted her mentality, Kushina coughed lightly and said seriously, "Since you know everything, then you should also be clear that as a Jinchuriki, you may feel lonely, sad, and feel unfair..."
"It's okay, wouldn't it be fine if I could become friends with the Big Fox?"
"...Become friends with the Nine Tails? How is that possible?"
"Why not? It has wisdom, emotions, and its own name. Nine Tails is just a name that people arbitrarily gave it based on the number of tails."
Naruto's words had a great impact on Minato and Kushina. During this period, people's general perception of the Tailed Beasts was: powerful beasts.
Since they are beasts, then go and tame them violently and then use them, instead of communicating or peaceful coexistence.
Minato was thoughtful: "Naruto."
"Hmm?"
"Do it according to your ideas."
"Yeah!"
Kushina was in a complicated mood. She had always believed that she should use her power to suppress the Nine Tails. Suddenly, she was talking about becoming friends with the Nine Tails...
...
After breakfast, Naruto earnestly completed his daily physical training and reading literacy. The amount of training now has increased a lot compared to a few months ago, and it seems that he can feel his progress every day. This feeling of reward after hard work is really great.
He trains, learns, and plays during the day, and teases the Fox Spirit while lying in bed at night, then goes to sleep contentedly. His little life is very comfortable and fulfilling.
Until a few months later, a trace of ripples appeared in Naruto's peaceful life.
