Chapter 545: Fateful Encounter
“Wow~”
"I'm back."
"I've told you so many times, there's no need to shout here. There's no one at home. Who are you shouting to?" Shiro, who followed Naruto into the room, rolled his eyes.
"Uncle Shiro, you're tricking me again!" Naruto looked at Shiro with disgust. "Last time, it was because I got used to it at your place that I forgot about it when I got home, and got scolded by my mom! I won't listen to your nonsense!"
"Oh, you've become smarter." Shiro said with a smile while changing his shoes.
"Hmph!" Facing Shiro's teasing, Naruto turned his head and turned to wash up. He had some questions to ask Shiro later.
After a while, Naruto finished washing up and wiped his wet hair while pushing open the door of the study: "Okay, Uncle Shilang, tell me, they said I was a demon fox, a monster, what's going on?"
Hearing this, Shiro put down the magic scroll in his hand, looked at the calm Naruto, and smiled slightly. There was no anger, no sadness, no complaints, but he rationally asked the reason. This quality was very good, and Shiro's three years of education for Naruto were not in vain.
"First of all, I'm glad you're so calm. It proves you've listened carefully to everything I taught you. This is your most precious treasure. I hope you can keep it up."
Shiro rested his hands on the table and looked at Naruto with satisfaction.
"I understand what you said. So, what's the reason? My feeling tells me that they are telling the truth. You know, this is my special ability, so I want to know why."
Naruto walked up to Shiro and looked at him quietly.
It seems to be a fluctuation of the will of the ninja world. Naruto, like Kakashi and Minato, has been amplified. It is not clear whether his learning talent has increased. What is known now is that he has a special ability that can distinguish the truth from the falsehood through the words of others.
He could tell whether the speaker knew the fact or not, so when he heard some villagers discussing it behind their backs, he understood.
I really am a monster, or there is a monster living in my body, an inseparable monster from me, a two-in-one monster.
At the same time, he also knew that this news was originally supposed to be kept secret from him, but was revealed to him because of someone's plan. The reason was similar to those who wanted to assassinate him in the past, all for the position of Hokage.
Therefore, Naruto didn't pay too much attention to this matter, because he knew that his father and Shiro would handle it, just like before.
"Hmm, I almost forgot. Although you're usually stupid, you still have this ability. In that case, I won't explain any more. The reason you got this news this time is definitely because someone did something wrong. Don't worry about that person; he won't do it again."
"Dead?"
"No, he still has some status, but he shouldn't cause trouble again in the future. I'll let your uncle Taiyi go."
"Uncle Taichi?" Naruto frowned in confusion, then his ability automatically triggered, and a flash of understanding flashed across his face. "Are you afraid of the Sharingan you're after? Weird."
Shiro shrugged, walked over to Naruto, and placed his right hand on his shoulder: "Talking to you is just too much effort. Come on, I'll show you the truth of everything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto felt his vision suddenly go dark. When it became light again, he was already in a dark sewer. Naruto looked at Shiro in confusion.
"This is your spiritual world, where the monster is sealed. That monster is the strongest of the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails. Of course, this is not its name. If you want to know, convince it to tell you later, Tailed Beast."
Next, on the way to seal the Nine-Tails, Shiro gave Naruto a brief introduction to the origins of the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki.
Naruto had no complaints about being sealed as a Jinchūriki by Minato. Although he was still young, he knew a lot now.
At least, he had a general understanding of rights and obligations.
Since you enjoy the treatment of being the son of Hokage, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities. If you only want to reap the rewards without wanting to give, that kind of life of a parasite is not what Naruto wants.
And since he is the Hokage, he naturally has to give priority to the villagers. Therefore, if it were him, he would also seal the Nine-Tails into himself or his children, because the villagers are the people he wants to protect, and this is the responsibility of a Hokage!
Just as Naruto was lost in thought, they walked up to the Nine-Tails' cage.
Sensing their breath, Kyuubi opened his eyes slightly, looked at them, and then closed them.
"go out."
"Well, Nine-Tailed Fox, don't be like this."
"Get out!" Kyuubi's voice was even louder than before.
“I said, you are not alone”
"roll!"
As the Nine-Tailed Fox roared, an orange tail suddenly lashed onto the cage, making a deafening roar!
Naruto was even so scared that he hid behind Shiro. No matter how mature he was through his abilities, he was still just a three-year-old child. His so-called maturity was only relative to his peers.
But Kyuubi didn't care about this. He only knew that Naruto was scared by him. He smiled disdainfully and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
Shiro's attitude towards the Nine-Tailed Fox is not surprising. Although he defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox, it does not mean that the Nine-Tailed Fox recognizes him, just like in the original work.
Hashirama defeated the Nine-Tails, and even possessed overwhelming strength in the later stages, but the Nine-Tails still refused to accept Hashirama.
What the Nine-Tails truly admired was Minato, who split it in two. In its impression, such a feat of splitting the tailed beasts was something that only the Sage of Six Paths had accomplished.
And it is the same in this world. Shiro only defeated it, but could not get the recognition of the Nine-Tailed Fox. On the contrary, it hated Shiro very much.
The only person who truly recognized him was Minato, who was open-minded about it. The ideals and intentions of that man shocked the Nine-Tails.
That's why it didn't resist when it was sealed, but that was only at that time.
From Minato's chakra, it knew Minato's purpose, and it was looking forward to this result, but it was the Nine-Tails! The strongest among the tailed beasts!
It can accept Minato's arrangements, but it will not deliberately try to please him, so when Shiro brought Naruto in, he was told to get out.
Of course, a big part of the reason for this is that it was Shiro who led the way. If it was Minato, the situation would be different.
After Shiro roughly understood the situation of the Nine-Tails' anger, he stopped talking to provoke it. After all, this was Naruto's spiritual world. Although he was sure that he could subdue the Nine-Tails, it would also cause some harm to Naruto.
So he set his sights on Naruto, the child of destiny.
Naruto did not disappoint Shiro's expectations. He took a deep breath, clenched his hands in front of his chest, mustered up his courage, slowly walked up to the Nine-Tails, smiled, and stretched out his right hand.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, what's your name?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox opened its eyes, glanced at Naruto faintly, and then closed them again, ignoring Naruto's outstretched right hand.
