This Naruto is a player

Its name, Nine-Tails, is feared throughout the ninja world, but in front of Naruto, its presence is as insignificant as a speck of dust!

That's really not enough!

"Surprise?" It quickly rummaged through its nearly three hundred years of memories.

I just don't understand! Lately he's been super well-behaved, doing nothing but fighting Hashirama!

Is this ancestor trying to cause trouble again?

Naruto tilted his head slightly, his deep blue eyes fixed on it without blinking: "Friendly reminder. Keyword: Fourth Hokage."

Boom!

Nine Lama felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart!

Oh no! We've been exposed! That whole thing!

Without any intimidation, under that abyss-like calm and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Kurama instantly surrendered:

"Cough cough cough! Naruto! I, Kurama, want to confess! I want to be a good fox! Give me a chance to explain!"

"explain?"

Looking at the "weak, pitiful and helpless" legendary tailed beast in front of him, a faint smile flashed deep in Naruto's eyes. "Come on, let's sign this agreement first."

Kurama looked at the agreement that Naruto had suddenly taken out.

Memorandum Regarding the Incident Where Kurama Concealed Naruto's Identity as the Fourth Hokage, Leading to His Failure to Be Selected as the Fifth Hokage

As for the content, once it's signed, Nine-Tailed Fox will become a complete puppet!

But looking into Naruto's cold eyes, Kurama felt he had no choice!

"very good!"

After Kurama signed the agreement, Naruto finally smiled.

Naruto smiled, and Kurama's tense nerves dared to relax a little.

But Naruto's next words plunged him into an icy abyss!

"But now! Right now! Immediately! Come out and practice with me!"

Nine-Lama instantly bristled, shaking his fox head like a rattle drum.

Just kidding! Want to "spar" with this ancestor?

It was so badly punished that it began to doubt its very existence as a fox!

The experience was so "profound" that it created a conditioned reflex of fear.

Even though we're really close, getting beaten up really hurts!

"Ok?"

Naruto uttered only a slight question before his calm, unwavering eyes fell upon Kurama once more, instantly filling the void with immense pressure!

"Okay, okay, let's practice! Let's practice now! It'll be good to get some exercise!"

Nine Lama shuddered, immediately put on a forced smile, and moved toward the training ground gate as if heading to his execution.

The moment it stepped out of the threshold, its body instantly swelled back to its true form, the Nine-Tails, which was as big as a small mountain. It roared to the sky, unleashing a ferocious burst of chakra that shook the space!

It tried to dispel its inner fear with its imposing presence.

I am Kurama! The leader of the Tailed Beasts!

Practice on me? Don't I have any dignity?

However, as it raised its head, preparing to assume a battle stance and search for Naruto's figure...

The world has vanished!

As far as the eye could see, the sky was completely obscured.

With its head held high, all it could see was an endless, bluish-green "sky curtain".

Moving the gaze downwards, a massive pillar, so thick it defied expectations, connected to the earth, its surface textured like mountain ravines.

That's Naruto's leg?!

It strained with all its might, its fox eyes shrinking to their limit, just barely managing to catch a glimpse of the giant shadow's outline below the knees; the upper part had already blended into the depths of the clouds and was no longer visible.

And its nine tails were not even as big as one of Naruto's toes!

It's all over!!!

Chapter 121 Naruto's Sheep-Fleecing

After dealing with the Nine-Tails, Naruto felt refreshed and even found Sasuke and Sakura, who were still "discussing knowledge" outside, to be more agreeable.

He stretched contentedly, his thoughts returning to his grand scheme of "coupon hunting".

Next target: Kakashi Hatake!

With a flash of Flying Thunder God Technique, Naruto's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Next second,

Naruto appeared next to a secluded bench by the roadside.

Here, Kakashi was leaning back lazily in his chair, holding the book "Icha Icha Paradise" in his hands, seemingly immersed in some "profound" plot.

Naruto didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down next to Kakashi.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, researching 'human body art'?"

"Ah, it's Naruto." Kakashi remained engrossed in his book.

Seeing this, Naruto cut to the chase without wasting any words, "Sensei, you should know that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is my biological father, right?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Ok?"

Kakashi put down his book, a barely perceptible tension in his voice: "Who told you that?"

"Nine-Tails!"

Naruto answered matter-of-factly, "The one in my belly."

"Nine-Tails?"

Upon hearing the monster's name, Kakashi instinctively tensed up, but then, thinking of the disciple's strength, he unexpectedly relaxed.

but

Kakashi asked again, as if to confirm, "You mean the Nine-Tails sealed inside you?"

"Hmm, that's right, that's it."

Naruto nodded, his expression relaxed. "At first, that guy was very stubborn and wouldn't say anything, but..."

He shrugged at this point, "A beating makes them much more obedient, and they'll confess everything."

Kakashi: -_-||

He glanced at Naruto silently, his expression complex.

He treated the legendary Nine-Tails like a disobedient pet, giving it a good beating. This disciple's strength is truly impressive.

He suddenly felt a little dazed. What if Naruto had been there during the Nine-Tails' rampage back then?

Kakashi fell into a brief silence and reminisced.

Naruto wasn't idle either; he was making plans in his mind.

It's confirmed, Kakashi-sensei does know.

So how do you take advantage of these deals?

Ninjutsu? We've already exhausted all of it.

Money? Kakashi-sensei's clothes never change, and he might not even be as rich as I am. Besides, I still have to save money to marry Hana-chan.

And

Naruto recalled information about Kakashi-sensei.

Her father committed suicide, her master and his wife sacrificed themselves, and one of her teammates, Obito Uchiha, was previously thought to be dead but is now a rogue ninja. In the end, she even killed another teammate, Rin, with her own hands.

Recalling this series of tragedies, Naruto gasped.

Kakashi-sensei is even worse off than me. I don't feel pain because I haven't experienced it, but Kakashi has lost his loved ones one after another.

Tsk tsk, no wonder I thought Kakashi-sensei was already dead when we first met.

Naruto felt that he was usually a dog, but at least he was a human being.

I just can't bring myself to do it!

Forget it, I'll stop trying to get freebies for now, and I'll hold off on paying interest for a while too.

However, there is still a problem.

Naruto feigned a hurt expression: "Kakashi-sensei, since you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"

Kakashi rested his chin on his hand and answered in a leisurely tone, "The Third Hokage's original intention was to keep it strictly confidential, for your safety and the stability of the village. But you've grown so fast and strong that even the First and Second Hokage... cough, so I thought it wouldn't matter to tell you."

"and then?"

Naruto leaned closer, even more curious. "Then why haven't you said anything yet? You couldn't have forgotten, could you?"

"Ma"

Kakashi let out a vague sigh, looking sincerely at Naruto, "It seems I forgot. I've been quite busy lately."

Naruto's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Forgot?!

I don't believe you! You white-haired teacher are wicked!

Only you, Kakashi-sensei, could come up with such a fresh, unconventional, and self-righteous excuse for being late!

You've forgotten? Hehe!
