Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 8 Naruto: Kurama, you're too weak

"Evil human brat..."

Behind the massive, towering mahogany fence, the enormous nine-tailed creature's body resembled a towering mountain peak.

With a look of disgust and disdain, the nine-tailed fox looked down at the little radish in front of it.

"You are no different from those humans before you, trying to take advantage of my power."

"No need for pretense in front of me. Just admit it frankly, and I might just bestow my power upon you, brat!"

Naruto nodded honestly, staring intently at Kurama.

"I did want to use your power before."

"But I don't plan to do that now."

"Because you're too weak, Nine-Tails!"

The next second, the entire space began to shake violently, and strange, scarlet blood bubbles rose from the water beneath our feet.

A massive fence, a surging wave, and a violent hurricane swept in, whipping Naruto's clothes wildly.

Nine-Tails muttered in disbelief, "Too weak?! Too weak?"

It then let out a wild laugh, after which its nine-tailed fox eyes narrowed.

A massive head, resting low against the sealing barrier, approached Naruto, its tone somber and unreadable.

"Kid, do you know what you're saying? I am the strongest tailed beast, too weak?!"

"Even if you beg for mercy now, I will tear you to pieces!"

"You know, even your First Hokage, that hypocritical fellow," Kurama said without batting an eye.

"I must also sincerely admire my own strength!"

Option 1: Completely enrage the Nine-Tails

Option Two: Gain the Nine-Tails' approval

[Options one and two are both long-term rewards, distributed according to the Nine-Tails' preferences.]

At that moment, another mission option popped up in Naruto's mind.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Naruto stared directly into Kurama's eyes without flinching, and instead smiled as he spoke.

"Wasn't he caught by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu?"

"He was even subdued by Madara Uchiha's Sharingan later on."

Tailed beasts and normal people can actually get along quite well, but the Naruto world is full of mentally ill people who went to the battlefield at the age of four or five, and there are very few normal people.

Madara Uchiha and Obito immediately used their Mangekyou Sharingan, directly inducing hypnosis and control.gif.

The giant pillar grabbed him, exclaiming, "You're too strong, Nine-Tails!"

They viewed the Nine-Tails as a strategic nuclear weapon, rather than as a powerful and equally intelligent being.

Originally, the Nine-Tails was living freely in the wild, but humans described it as a powerful evil being, and it was attacked in various ways, eventually being sealed in a dark and sunless place for decades...

How could it not feel hostility and hatred towards humans?

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox, whose most shameful past had been exposed, narrowed its eyes in anger. Enraged, it slashed its sharp claws at the deep red fence, sending sparks flying.

This brat, though verbally provoking me, is different from the others; he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions...

While making a gesture of utter rage, Kurama used its chakra to sense Naruto's emotions.

"Kyuu, your power is great, but it's not like Hashirama Senju's, capable of overwhelming the ninja world," Naruto sincerely and logically analyzed. "Even if I could release you from your seal right now..."

"With just the village's ninjas, including the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and hundreds of elite Jonin and Anbu, do you really think you can escape?"

"And what's more, there's the Uchiha clan..."

Upon hearing this name, the Nine-Tails' narrow pupils constricted sharply. After a long silence, it continued in an unfriendly tone,

"Damn Konoha! You've imprisoned me in this cramped, dark cell for decades. Do you, brat, expect me to kneel and beg for mercy from Konoha?!"

"Of course not. You've seen it all these years inside me, haven't you? Aren't we both prisoners of Konoha, deprived of our freedom and ostracized and hated by everyone?"

"No one has ever asked for my wishes. From birth, I have been treated as a vessel, monitored and controlled by the Konoha leadership, used as a strategic weapon to turn the tide, and hated and isolated by the general public as a fox demon."

Naruto leaned against the red fence, looked up expectantly, and slowly said...

"In some ways, we are each other's companions, sharing our loneliness and understanding each other the most..."

Nine-Tails was taken aback by what it heard. Looking down at the little radish-headed girl in front of it, its bright, watery eyes twitched, and its fiery red, furry ears, which were like a sensory radar, also twitched.

It turned its head away and said viciously, "You wretched brat, don't think you can please this old man with sweet words!"

"Once I master the sealing technique, Kurama, you will gradually be able to break free from the suppression of the Eight Trigrams Seal, and perhaps even briefly experience life outside the seal through chakra."

Naruto touched Kurama's enormous claws through the gap in the red fence, transferring the warmth from his palm.

"Only when the two of us are strong enough to stand on our own, withstand the pressure from the major ninja villages, and even make them feel pain, will we be able to regain our freedom!"

Kurama narrowed its eyes, twitched its ears, and crouched down, its massive body staring directly into Naruto's eyes.

For some reason, its nine bushy, enormous tails began to wag, revealing its sharp, white canine teeth.

"Since you are so sincerely begging me, then I will reluctantly agree."

The latest novel is first published here!

"But you wicked human brat, don't think that just because of this, I can easily forgive you for daring to question my strength as the strongest tailed beast!"

"I will definitely not let you go after I escape..."

"Of course, it wouldn't work if you begged for forgiveness and admitted your mistake..."

[Nine-Tails' approval rating is 31%, reward: Weapon Master (Beginner 1/10)]

[Weapon Master (Beginner): Able to use any ninja tool to a basic level; increases efficiency by 100% when learning ninja tool techniques]

Naruto looked at the incessantly chattering Kurama with a strange expression. Could this guy be a female dog...?

"By the way, Nine-Tailed Fox, are you a male or female fox?"

Naruto asked with a curious look.

Nine-Tails, lying on the ground behind the fence, was stunned for a moment, then its face showed a look of embarrassment and anger.

Naruto withdrew from the sealed land before a powerful wave of water erupted inside the fence.

[Nine-Tails' approval rating: 32%]

Looking at the notification in my mind, my favorability actually increased?

Naruto couldn't help but smile; she really was a proud and arrogant fox.

……

school day,

The ninja academy was bustling with activity, people coming and going.

The vibrant life and flourishing of all things in Konoha are presented before our eyes.

Sasuke led a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair, dressed in an everyday dress and with her thick, beautiful black hair tied to one side with a lace hair tie, to the door.

Seeing the crowd of other people at the entrance, he quickly pulled his hand away from Uchiha Mikoto's.

Seeing this, the voluptuous and gentle Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but chuckle, tilting her head slightly and asking in a troubled tone,

"Is Sasuke too embarrassed to hold his mother's hand because there are so many people around?"

"When I was little, I loved holding my mom's hand the most..."

Sasuke's fair face flushed red, and he turned his head away. "No, Mom, please stop!"

Under Mikoto's gentle, smiling gaze, he quickly ran away without looking back.

Upon reaching the vicinity of Class 1-A's classroom, Sasuke calmed himself down, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked into the classroom.

When he entered the classroom with a cool demeanor, it immediately caused quite a stir and exclamations.
