Chapter 84
"Good grief—you actually believed the Nine-Tails would really teach you how to get stronger?"
Naruto complained to Uzumaki Naruto: "That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
Before the Nine-Tails knew Naruto was the reincarnation of Asura, its attitude toward him had been extremely ambiguous.
It could be said that if the Nine-Tails ever got the chance, it would definitely not pass up the opportunity to seize Naruto's body.
Just earlier—if Naruto had stepped even one foot outside Konoha, he might have already been taken over by the Nine-Tails and ceased to be Naruto!
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help roaring at Naruto: "Can you stop hitting me?"
Bang!
"Ow ow ow owww!!!"
Uzumaki Naruto lowered his head and sincerely apologized: "I was wrong…"
Naruto was somewhat satisfied with Uzumaki Naruto's attitude: "Mm, correcting mistakes is a good thing."
Uzumaki Naruto: "…"
Naruto said to Uzumaki Naruto: "Remember—the Nine-Tails won't help you unless it knows you're the reincarnation of Asura's chakra."
The moment the words left his mouth, a shocked voice erupted from inside the sealed gate.
Nine-Tails: "WHAT!!! Uzumaki Naruto is Asura's reincarnation???!!!"
Naruto and Uzumaki Naruto: "…"
The space fell silent for a moment. Uzumaki Naruto asked innocently: "Um… what's Asura? And what's Asura chakra?"
Naruto replied casually: "Don't worry about the details. Just understand it as a very strong person whose chakra reincarnated inside you, so you carry his will and stuff…"
"Like being naturally kind, able to endure unfair treatment, that kind of thing."
"Anyway—if you leave now, the Nine-Tails will definitely take over your body."
Nine-Tails: "Heh… I wouldn't."
Naruto: "Shut up, or I'll kill you."
Nine-Tails: "…"
The Nine-Tails didn't doubt Naruto's words—because Naruto really did have the ability.
The amount of chakra inside Naruto was beyond the Nine-Tails' imagination.
Half of Hashirama Senju's chakra level—scary enough?
The Nine-Tails could sense that inside Naruto's body was a Nine-Tails identical to itself.
That Nine-Tails was living far more miserably than itself.
Itself could still move freely—while that one couldn't even speak anymore.
So…
What exactly was Naruto? Why had he appeared in the ninja world?
The Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes, observing Naruto carefully.
This guy had suddenly appeared, knew many secrets, and even knew Uzumaki Naruto was Asura's reincarnation.
This was straight-up fantasy!
Uzumaki Naruto fell silent. He began seriously considering Naruto's words.
Naruto continued: "Think about it—why does everyone fear the Nine-Tails?"
"Isn't it because of all the killing it's done?"
"Can you really trust a cunning fox like that?"
The Nine-Tails glanced at Naruto—who was busy brainwashing Uzumaki Naruto—and closed its eyes, pretending to be mute.
If it couldn't win, it could only do this.
After Naruto left, it would talk to Uzumaki Naruto again.
Uzumaki Naruto hesitated: "But… I already stole the sealed scroll, exposed the Nine-Tails chakra in front of those people, and showed my determination to defect."
"And… I even beat up that arrogant Sasuke."
"If I go back to the village now… won't my life become even harder?"
Naruto knew he wasn't wrong.
Faced with this very realistic question, Naruto began thinking of countermeasures.
