Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 227 Nine-Tailed Fox's Deception

When Kurama's pupils returned to the vertical pupils of a fox, half of its body had already appeared inside Naruto's body.

"So you've never trusted me..."

Kurama glared at Uchiha Yun, his expression filled with displeasure: "You lack trust, yet you sealed me, this great one, inside this blond brat. Aren't you afraid that once you're gone, I'll control him and he'll escape?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "If it were my family's little Nine-Tails, I wouldn't need to use the Sharingan to control it, but you're not."

"Although you are ultimately a split version of yourself, the hatred within the split consciousness has been purified, but yours has not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurama's vertical pupils narrowed slightly: "You're very confident... do you think this brat can accept the hatred in my chakra?"

At that moment, Minato's figure appeared beside Yun.

"It's not about confidence, but rather that I saw another possibility for tailed beasts in the little Nine-Tails."

Minato smiled at Kurama and continued, "Kumo once said that the Nine-Tailed Fox, known as the embodiment of calamity, is feared by humans because your appearance will bring disaster and death."

"But in reality, the disasters and deaths were not brought about by you, but by humans who coveted your power. As the Hokage, I understand that."

"snort……"

The Nine-Tails scoffed, "You're just saying this to get me to help this brat. Fourth Hokage, why should I, who have been sealed away by Kushina for so many years, help your son?"

Minato shook his head slightly: "I don't know why, but I think maybe Naruto really can change you?"

A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy playing with a tailed beast...

In an instant, the words spoken by the old man of the Six Paths reappeared in Kurama's mind.

Could it be this kid?

Nine-Tails glanced at the clouds.

In the beginning, in the memories shared by the half-body, Uchiha Cloud's attitude and recognition of the tailed beasts made it think that there might be another possibility.

But that was only half of the body...

And the Uchiha clan...

Kurama recalled the figure who had taken control of him, imbued himself with the power of Susanoo, and then fought against the First Hokage.

The Uchiha clan is not one that easily gives its trust.

"I will wait, wait until you are no longer here..."

"I will possess this brat's body, and then I will gain true freedom..."

Within the dark prison cells, the Nine-Tailed Fox gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Yun and Minato exchanged a glance, and then withdrew from the sealed area.

At that moment, Kushina was holding the sleeping Naruto, looking at him with a worried expression.

As soon as Kushina opened her eyes, she anxiously asked, "How is it? What's Kurama's attitude...?"

Minato smiled and went up to look at the sleeping Naruto: "No need to rush, leave everything to Naruto. He's always wanted to be friends with Kurama, and with that mindset, I think he can succeed."

Kushina sighed and nodded.

It seems inevitable that the ninja world is about to descend into chaos, given the existence of Akatsuki and the presence of Uzumaki Sora, a member of the same clan…

Perhaps only by possessing the power of the Nine-Tails could this be the right thing to do.

At this moment, Yun put away the other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra scroll, looked at the two of them and said, "It's over. The shadow clones have also told Shikaku that we can go back now."

Minato nodded, and then the four of them disappeared into the cave using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

……

As night fell, Yun, who had just returned home, sat down on the sofa.

The little Nine-Tails, who had been feigning sleep, opened its eyes and whispered, "Has my true form been completely removed from Kushina's body?"

Yun nodded, then tossed the sealing scroll to the Nine-Tails: "This is the other half of your chakra. The Hokage thinks your power needs to be increased to deal with future enemies."

After taking the scroll, the Nine-Tails grinned and said, "No wonder the main body felt you didn't trust it and used the Sharingan to control it, but when it came to me, it directly gave me the power of half its body..."

Yun smiled and looked at the little Nine-Tails: "It's not that I don't trust her, it's just that Kushina's life was at stake at the time. You should know that if Kushina died, the Fourth Hokage could go insane..."

Spreading its paws, the little Nine-Tails said with dissatisfaction, "Do you think my true form would be that stupid? With you around in Konoha, it can't cause the slightest trouble..."

As he spoke, he opened the seal scroll, and Yun, who was standing to the side, casually unsealed it.

In an instant, an enormous and terrifying amount of dark chakra surged out, but without any leakage, it was all absorbed by the little Nine-Tails.

The crimson chakra was filled with negative emotions. And the face of the Nine-Tails was gradually becoming ferocious.

Yun frowned slightly.

The small Nine-Tails that was originally separated only accounted for a very small part of the Nine-Tails. It was precisely because of this that the dark emotions within it could be quickly purified by positive forces.

The reason why the chakra seal was brought back now is because the will of the little Nine-Tails can be absorbed.

This way, a lot of trouble can be saved.

One minute, ten minutes, an hour...

Two hours later, Yun, who had been waiting intently, finally saw the Nine-Tails absorb all the chakra in the scroll.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox slightly opened its eyes, its fox-like vertical pupils meeting Yun's gaze.

"Buzz..."

Blood-red chakra overflowed from the Nine-Tails, instantly filling the entire living room with a dark aura.

Even the teacups on the table were shaking incessantly.

"roar……!"

With a roar, the little nine-tailed fox leaped up: "Watch me give you two big peacocks!"

"Smack."

With a casual lift of a hand, the little nine-tailed fox was slapped back.

"Stop pretending. You want two big pockets from me? You're asking for trouble!"

The little nine-tailed fox, which had been slapped back, rolled to the ground and looked at its paws with a puzzled expression.

"I thought I was invincible just now, and I even deliberately released some chakra to catch you off guard, so why did you still detect it?"

"Bang."

Yun reached out and smacked the little nine-tailed fox on the forehead: "Even your true form wouldn't dare to go berserk in front of me, and if you really lost control, the first thing you'd do is enlarge your body and attack me."

The little nine-tailed fox stretched out its paw and scratched its head.

At that moment, Shukaku, who was hiding in the corner of the sofa, crawled out.

"Why aren't you sleeping or resting so late at night? What kind of fun game are you playing?"

Shukaku's voice instantly attracted the attention of the Nine-Tails.

If you can't beat this statement, can't you at least beat this stupid raccoon?

If we had attacked it before it absorbed that portion of chakra, wouldn't this be a complete stomp now?

Then, the little nine-tailed fox narrowed its eyes: "Stupid raccoon...want to play games? The kind where I make you beat me up, it's really fun..."

The moment the voice faded, the little nine-tailed fox vanished from its spot.

So fast!

Little Shukaku only felt a blur before his eyes, and then Kurama sat down on his head.

The next second, a sharp claw pressed down on his head.

How did that stinky fox suddenly become so strong?

"Bang bang bang..."

Just as he was stunned by the beating, footsteps sounded upstairs.

"What are you two making such a racket for so late at night? Everyone's trying to rest..."

Uchiha Hazuki's voice rang out, and the living room fell silent in an instant.

Yun stood up and apologized, "I had some business with the Hokage, so I came back late. I'll rest right away. I'm sorry, Mother."

Ye Yue looked at her son and replied helplessly, "I thought it was the two little ones making a fuss. You've been busy all day, Yun should get some rest."

……

The living room lights went out, and Yun went back to her room.

Shukaku, unable to sleep due to anxiety, glanced at the little Nine-Tailed Fox beside him, his mind filled with questions.

How did that stinky fox get so strong?

If things continue like this, will I still have a place in this family?

Uchiha Yun was undoubtedly the best, but the middle-aged woman was even more untouchable, and there was also Uchiha Izumi, who, although she addressed herself with honorifics, was actually Uchiha Yun's sister.

I used to be able to put up a fight with that stinky fox, but now it seems... I can't even fight back anymore.

Overwhelmed with grief, Shukaku turned his gaze toward the door that led him away.

Or... should we just slip away?

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox's voice suddenly rang out: "Once you step out of this door, you're no longer a member of this family. Without Cloud's protection, if you're discovered, you'll be locked up again."

Shukaku glared at Kurama: "Who said I was leaving? You stinky fox, wait till tomorrow I ask the boss how you got so strong, and then I'll beat the crap out of you, you believe me?"

"laugh!"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox glanced upstairs: "Tomorrow I'll show you who's the king and queen. Time to sleep!"

……

In the bedroom, Yun stood outside the window looking at the moon, which was already high in the sky not far away.

The Ten-Tails' hull, Six Paths Planetary Devastation...

After the Nine-Tails was sealed into Naruto's body, its transformation rate reached a value of 95.

It only increased a little...

Logically speaking, this situation is too rare. The Nine-Tails' positive side towards Naruto shouldn't be limited to just a little bit.

So... is it because Kurama hasn't acknowledged Naruto yet?

"Well……"

With a muffled groan, Yun covered her eyes with one hand.

Power is being nurtured; one's own Rinnegan is already taking shape.

After a long while, Yun lowered her hand.

And the power in his eyes has increased once again.

Looking into the distance again, his gaze finally settled in the direction of Sasuke's house.

Naruto already has the Nine-Tails and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and he'll likely learn the Rasengan after graduating, but Sasuke...

Sasuke's power has always come from the Sharingan, and even the development of the Lightning Release: Chidori is inseparable from the Sharingan's dynamic vision.

With Itachi's changed fate and the Uchiha clan's transformation, it's impossible for the night of the massacre to ever happen again.

In this situation, it seems that Sasuke's Sharingan awakening can only be applied to genjutsu.

but……

Sometimes, Indra's chakra doesn't necessarily represent talent...

The Sasuke in my memory is worlds apart from Itachi. How many tomoe could a genjutsu that can only be used once possibly grant him?

"call……"

After exhaling, Yun temporarily put Erzhuzi's problem out of her mind.

……

at the same time……

Naruto, who hadn't slept since waking up at home, was currently muttering to himself on his bed.

"Lord Fox, Lord Fox, are you asleep?"

"Lord Fox, if you're not asleep, may I chat with you?"

"If there's no answer... I'll take that as you agree, Lord Fox..."

"When I walked Hinata home from school today, Neji seemed to be acting very differently. I heard that the Hyuga clan has started to change..."

"And Hinata is in a great mood today too. She's going to be my wife, you know..."

"Lord Fox, if my wife were in trouble, you would help her, wouldn't you?"

"That Shikamaru skipped class today and didn't even invite me. He's such a bad friend..."

……

Naruto, who had been muttering to himself for over two hours, didn't seem sleepy at all.

Meanwhile, inside the sealed area within its body, the Nine-Tailed Fox, imprisoned in a cage, was tightly covering its ears with its enormous claws.

But the sounds coming from the Jinchūriki continued to emerge.

"You damn blond brat! Aren't you going to rest?!"

The roar startled Naruto, who had been muttering to himself. He immediately sat up and replied excitedly, "Fox-sama, you finally spoke! Are you really inside me? Can you come out? I can give you half the bed to sleep on!"

Nine-tailed beasts were in a hurry.

That's outrageous! Who wants to sleep with you?!

I'm affected by my lower body, but it does sound quite natural to talk like this.

"Little brat."

"What are your orders, Lord Fox?"

"sleep!"

"Okay!"

Naruto obediently lay back down with his eyes closed, while Kurama also breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to rest with its eyes closed.

This underling is indeed obedient...

"My Lord Fox, I...I can't sleep."

???

Nine-Tails opened its eyes again, and for a moment it was somewhat exasperated.

Naruto went even further, saying, "How about... Lord Kurama tells me your story? My mom used to tell me stories when I couldn't sleep."

Damn it! I'm a male fox!!!

The Nine-Tails, who had been complaining, got angry, but then she remembered that the kid's words seemed to contain a hint of approval, and considering his status as a subordinate...

"call……"

After exhaling, Nine-Tails asked, "What do you want to hear?"

Naruto was extremely excited: "Fox Lord, I want to hear your story!"

After pondering for a moment, Kurama said, "Kid, you should have sensed my chakra these past few years. Do you know where the dark emotions within that chakra come from?"

Naruto shook his head.

The nine-tailed fox inside then began to recount its past, but it was embellished, transforming the nine-tailed fox into a clever fox who repeatedly saw through human conspiracies.

One of the bastards, Uchiha Madara, was beaten up by the clever fox every day.

Another man named Hashirama Senju would have his head pressed down by the fox-like man, who would say that he was too strong and posed too great a threat to the world, so he needed to be suppressed.
