Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 143: Conquering the Nine-Tailed Fox

"Don't worry, all this guy can do right now is yell; he can't do anything else."

Seemingly afraid that Chiga would be frightened, Kushina assured Chiga.

"Furthermore, thanks to your guidance, although I can't become a perfect Jinchūriki, well..."

Kushina said, raising her hand.

In an instant, Chiga saw the crimson chakra within Kurama flow along the golden chains to Kushina's body.

Kushina smiled smugly and boasted to Chiga, "Even though it disagrees, since it lives inside me, it still needs to pay some rent."

"Wow, Kushina-sensei is amazing!"

Chiga was also surprised when she saw this.

Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, who could only obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra through its charity, Kushina was far more powerful.

Rent is practically stolen; you can't refuse to pay.

However, this forceful borrowing also has a drawback: Kushina will be corrupted by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Over time, Kushina will also be changed by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Kushina-sensei, what you're doing will be dangerous in the long run, and it will only make your relationship with Kurama more and more strained."

Chiga had no choice but to retort.

Upon hearing Chiga's words, Kushina looked up at Kurama and realized that it was indeed as Chiga had said.

The nine-tailed fox's face was filled with murderous intent, and it said coldly, "You despicable woman, one day I will devour you alive!"

Kushina withdrew her hand and returned the chakra to Kurama, but this did not diminish Kurama's killing intent.

She looked at Chiga with a troubled expression and asked, "What should we do?"

"Use words to win it over! Approach it with love!"

"You make it sound so easy!"

Kushina rolled her eyes upon hearing this. Grandma Mito had said something similar, but unfortunately, she had a short temper and didn't have the patience for it.

Seeing this, Chiga sighed helplessly. He decided to help the person to the end and see it through to the end.

If I want Kushina to become a perfect Jinchuriki, it seems I'll have to teach her myself.

"Don't worry, let me teach you, Kushina-sensei. I guarantee you and Kurama will reach an agreement!"

"You? Stop messing around!"

Kushina gave Chiga a disdainful look.

She knew her own disciples very well.

This guy absolutely believes in the principle that truth comes from the sword.

If you were to listen to him, he'd probably say things like, "If you don't beat him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles," or "Spare the rod and spoil the child."

"Kushina-sensei, I'm telling the truth."

Seeing that Kushina didn't believe him, Chiga said directly, "First of all, Kurama has the ability to sense malice, so you must completely abandon your hatred for Kurama and treat it as a friend."

"Huh, you know a lot about the Nine-Tails?! Didn't you say your clan had no information about the Nine-Tails?"

Kushina looked at Chiga in surprise. She had only realized this after spending so much time with Kurama, so how did Chiga know?

"Um, if I said it was the legendary Sage of Six Paths who appeared to me in a dream, would you believe me, Kushina-sensei?"

Chiga explained awkwardly.

"cut!"

Kushina looked at him with disdain. "You might as well just say he's some gay guy who's less than 1.8 meters tall!"

But she didn't pursue the matter further.

In her view, Chiga must have learned about the Nine-Tails from some high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan.

The only source of information about the Nine-Tails for the Uchiha clan could be Madara Uchiha, who once controlled the Nine-Tails.

Such highly confidential information must be kept under a very high level of secrecy even within the Uchiha clan.

The fact that Chiga is willing to speak out now can be considered a betrayal of her family for the sake of her teacher.

If Chiga knew what Kushina was thinking, all he could say was, "Kushina-sensei, you have such a wild imagination!"

"Ahem, let me continue. Since you're going to treat the Nine-Tails as a friend, you should at least talk to it more. The Nine-Tails is an old fellow, and it hates being alone. You haven't talked to it for the past ten or eight years, anyone would complain!"

"You need to let this resentment out first, and then we can have a proper conversation. So at first, you'll need to be patient and not just do whatever you want."

Both of them avoided discussing how Chiga knew about the Nine-Tails.

"Hmm, that makes some sense. Go on."

Kushina put herself in Kurama's shoes and empathized with him; it was indeed true.

Chiga continued, "Then, we need to start with Kurama's personality. As far as I know... oh, the Sage of Six Paths said in a dream that Kurama is a bit of a tsundere! So, Kushina-sensei, you need..."

"Wait, what exactly is tsundere?"

Upon hearing this word, Kushina asked with some curiosity.

"Tsundere, that's probably what it means to act tough and arrogant in order to cover up shyness and timidity. Although their words are barbed, they are actually very considerate and gentle at heart."

Chiga explained, then said with a smile, "Actually, you can refer to the Uchiha clan for this attribute; most of them are this type."

"Yeah?"

Kushina exclaimed in surprise, then carefully recalled Mikoto's behavior when she was with her.

"Haha, you know what, it seems like Misaka really is like that."

Kushina laughed, then looked at Chiga strangely and said with a mischievous grin, "Chiga, you seem to be one too!"

"How could I possibly have such a trashy trait?!"

Kushina: "." Hehe, I understand tsundere now. No wonder she and Kurama are not on the same wavelength.

Nine-Tailed Fox: "."

Could you two please keep yourselves away from me when you're discussing how to win me over?

Chiga was teaching Kushina how to defeat the Nine-Tails, which rekindled Kushina's hope of becoming the perfect Jinchūriki, while the Nine-Tails, listening from the side, looked completely bewildered.

Why does this evil Uchiha brat know so much about me?

Did Madara Uchiha find out all its secrets when he controlled it with his Sharingan?

If not, then it really was a dream from the Sage of Six Paths?

Compared to Kushina, Kurama believed Chiga's fabricated story more.

After all, the Sage of Six Paths was a real person, and it was he who split the Ten-Tails into nine tailed beasts.

If we're talking about people who understand them, the Sage of Six Paths is definitely one of them.

The problem is, why would the Sage of Six Paths send a dream to a mere evil Uchiha brat?!

Kurama didn't have time to think about this problem now. Instead, she thought that if she let this kid talk about it again, Kushina might actually be able to win him over.

Left with no other choice, Kurama had to interrupt Chika and Kushina, roaring furiously, "You two bastards, do you really think I don't exist?!"

"Oh, I completely forgot, the people we're discussing are still here."

Chiga, who had gotten carried away with her conversation, finally realized that the two of them had been saying these things in front of Kurama.
