Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 144 The Deal with the Nine-Tails

Kushina didn't seem to care, giving Kurama a disgruntled glare: "What are you yelling for? If you yell again, do you believe I'll research another sealing technique to gag you?"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Nine-Tails didn't retaliate.

Over the years, it has been sealed away by Kushina, making it difficult for it to even sense the outside world.

If we were to seal its mouth shut, this old fox would really go crazy.

However, there was one piece of information it still wanted to confirm, so it reluctantly asked, "Kushina, was the Four-Tails captured by you humans and brought to the village?"

The senses between tailed beasts are much more acute.

Even though Kushina had sealed the Nine-Tails tightly, it could still sense that the Four-Tails had appeared in Konoha.

"Yes, the Four-Tails did come to Kimura, but it's been two years, and it has long been returned by the Land of Earth."

Kushina nodded, then, remembering what Chiga had said before, she extended a gesture of goodwill and asked Kurama kindly, "Kyuubi, are you lonely and want to communicate with other tailed beasts?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails' pupils twitched slightly, and it almost nodded in agreement.

Since the First Hokage distributed the Tailed Beasts to various countries, communication between them has almost ceased.

Those tailed beasts that live in the same great country are alright; they can sometimes exchange feelings with each other.

But the Nine-Tails fared much worse, spending decades alone in Konoha without ever leaving the village.

Just as Chiga said, Kurama is actually quite lonely. In the past, he could exchange a few words with Mito Uzumaki, the first Jinchūriki, with whom he had become quite familiar.

However, after Mito Uzumaki passed away, she sealed it back into Kushina's body.

It originally thought this was an opportunity and caused quite a commotion in Kushina's sealed space. Unfortunately, Kushina was far more powerful than it had imagined, and it was unable to break the seal or even erode Kushina's will.

In recent years, as Kushina's sealing techniques have become increasingly proficient, it has even become difficult for it to perceive the outside world.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails naturally wanted to communicate with the Four-Tails and learn about the situation of their tailed beasts.

Kurama looked at Kushina, then at Chika, and turned its head away disdainfully: "Tch, who wants to talk to those guys?"

Upon hearing this, Chiga pointed at Kurama and gave a live lesson: "Kushina-sensei, look, she clearly wants to communicate with the other tailed beasts, but she insists on saying one thing and meaning another. This is a typical tsundere behavior."

"I can tell."

Kushina nodded.

"Nonsense!" Nine-Tailed Fox was so angry she almost went berserk.

"Nine-Tails, how about we make a deal?" Kushina said, a sly smile playing on her lips. "If I get the chance to let you interact with the other tailed beasts, just tell me your name!"

"I don't need it!"

Kurama snorted coldly and turned away, ignoring Kushina.

Seeing that Kurama was still silent, Kushina looked at Chika with pleading eyes.

They both realized that Kurama was definitely interested in this deal.

After all, they hadn't interacted with their own kind for decades, so they certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Meeting Kushina's gaze, Chiga pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to Kushina, "Kushina-sensei, I've left Asuma and the other two in Minato-senpai's care for so long, I need to go see how he's done with them, so I'll head out now!"

As he spoke, Chiga's spiritual form began to dissipate.

Kushina paused for a moment, seemingly understanding Chiga's intention, and then said to Kurama again, "So, now that the eyesore is gone, it's just the two of us left. Do you want to make this deal with me?"

"."

Kurama remained silent for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Kushina Uzumaki, remember this: my name is Kurama!"

"Nine Lama, not a bad name! From now on, I won't call you that stinky fox anymore, I'll just call you Nine Lama!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina smiled happily and said to Kurama, "Kurama, please guide me for the rest of my life!"

Seeing Kushina's sincere desire to communicate with it, Kurama remained silent for a while. With its ability to sense malice, it did not perceive Kushina's malice at this moment.

After a long silence, Kurama finally said, "Don't try to play the emotional card. Our relationship is just a transaction. You'd better let me make contact with the other tailed beasts as soon as possible!"

"Alright, alright, I know, but the problem is I can't leave the village right now. The only way is to have another Jinchuriki come to Konoha!"

Kushina responded awkwardly upon hearing this.

She had only offered the deal on a whim, but to her surprise, the Nine-Tails actually took it seriously and even revealed her own name.

This really stumped her.

Getting the Nine-Tails to come into contact with other tailed beasts is extremely difficult.

At this moment, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) also saw Kushina's predicament and said, "It's not necessary to come into contact with the Tailed Beasts; just having a little of their chakra will suffice!"

"Now that you mention it, I do remember. There should still be remnants of the Four-Tails' chakra in Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Kushina frowned slightly.

As the saying goes, "a goose leaves its feathers behind as it flies by," the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was captured and brought to Konoha.

Konoha will definitely try every means to extract some of the Four-Tails' chakra from the Four-Tails Jinchuriki for research.

"Give me some time, I need to think this through carefully. That place isn't easy to navigate!"

Kushina assured Kurama.

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tails nodded: "Alright, I'll be waiting for you!"

"Then I'll be going now, I'll come see you again next time."

Kushina smiled and waved to Kurama, then called out into the void, "Chika, we should go!"

"What?!"

Kurama was completely bewildered. Seeing that Chiga's spirit body, which had already dissipated, suddenly re-emerged, it realized that it had been tricked by Kushina and this Uchiha brat.

His eyes rolled back immediately.

Chiga grinned at Kushina and said, "I knew it, this girl is a little shy too."

"Haha, now I believe you really did dream about the Sage of Six Paths!"

Kushina was surprised that Chiga's prediction was so accurate, and laughed loudly.

"You despicable Uchiha brat! I swear here and now, the day I break free will be the day you perish!"

My lifelong infamy has been completely ruined!

The Nine-Tails roared at Chiga.

[Negative emotions from Nine Lama, emotion value +80!]

"Alright, calm down, Kurama. Chiga did this so that we could reconcile."

Kushina offered some words of comfort to Kurama, but the effect was not very noticeable.

Seeing the Nine-Tails writhing and struggling to break free from its seal, Kushina guessed it wouldn't calm down anytime soon.

"Alright, we won't laugh at you anymore. We'll head out now and come see you again when we have time."

Kushina didn't say anything more and went out with Chika to let Kurama have some peace and quiet.
