Rest assured, I'm the Nine-Tails. Toying with them is as easy as toying with dogs!
"Damn it, I don't want to do this research!"
At night, in Naruto's house, looking at his assignment with only a few words written on it, Naruto clutched his head and groaned.
"Naruto, the teacher will be checking tomorrow."
A sound came from the window next to Naruto's bed.
"I know! But I...?! Teacher?!"
Naruto responded helplessly at first, then realized the voice was becoming increasingly familiar, and quickly turned around.
"Teacher, what brings you here!"
Naruto quickly stood up and asked Hagoromo.
With a light leap, Hagoromo entered Naruto, saying as she did so.
"They've come to you with something. How's it going? How much of your research project is finished?"
Hagoromo walked to Naruto's table and began to examine it carefully.
Hagoromo:...
Naruto:Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
Seeing Naruto's expression, Hagoromo gave a helpless, bitter smile.
This kid must really dislike using his brain; he almost pulled his hair out from just a few words.
"Alright, your teacher will guide you after you're done with your work."
The Hagoromo covered Naruto's notebook, and he turned to say something.
"Yes, teacher!" Naruto stood at attention, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
"Um."
Hagoromo nodded as she walked around, leaving a strange symbol wherever she went.
Naruto simply watched, completely ignoring what Hagoromo was doing.
"Alright."
Hagoromo finished these actions, she clapped her hands and said...
He then raised his hand and slammed it down on the ground, instantly causing the runes left by Hagoromo to rapidly expand throughout the room.
Wow~
Naruto stared at the runes that seemed to have come to life, but despite having been learning Sealing Jutsu from Minato recently, he couldn't understand them at all.
"The effect is pretty good."
Hagoromo nodded in satisfaction.
"Teacher, I don't understand these runes."
Naruto scratched the back of his head and asked.
"Oh, I rewrote it," Hagoromo chuckled. These things came from the rewards dropped by Naruto.
I must say, the results are quite good.
"The teacher is amazing!"
Naruto's eyes lit up as he looked at Hagoromo with great admiration.
Well--
Feeling unworthy, Hagoromo touched her nose and changed the subject:
"Alright, let's get down to business first."
With a flick of Hagoromo fingers, Naruto recognized the familiar handprints and knew Hagoromo was about to do.
He quickly sat down cross-legged.
With a light laugh, Hagoromo brought her index and middle fingers together and tapped Naruto's abdomen.
Buzz--
"Nine-Tails, I'm here to discuss a deal."
Hagoromo strolled into the Sealing Space, a smile on her face, and said...
Nine-Tails: (▼ヘ▼#)
"Damn brat! This is your Sealing Space!!"
"How could you let just anyone in!"
Nine-Tails roared at Naruto, who had come in with him.
Naruto picked at his ear, looking bewildered, and said, "Teacher isn't some random person."
Nine-Tails:...
The beast-eyed creature glanced at the seemingly smiling Hagoromo, Nine-Tails immediately turned and lay down.
He can't afford to offend them, so can't he just ignore them?
Snap--
Hagoromo threw a scroll directly into the Nine-Tails's cage.
???
Nine-Tails Fox stood up with a chill running down her spine, looking at the scroll in front of her, then looking up at Hagoromo.
"Hey, teacher! Can things be brought into the Sealing Space?"
Naruto broke the silence, asking with a curious expression.
"That wouldn't have worked, but have you forgotten the runes I just wrote outside?"
Hagoromo said with a light laugh.
"Oh?! So that's what it's for?!"
Naruto wore such an expression, showing no sign of how surprising this was.
Minato, who had just appeared, also wore a helpless wry smile and greeted Hagoromo.
Long time no see, Yong Dai Mei.
Hagoromo chuckled and nodded in greeting.
"Nine-Tails, how about we make a deal?"
Hagoromo asked Nine-Tails again.
Minato Namikaze stood aside with Naruto, not interrupting.
What transaction?
Nine-Tails glanced at the small scroll below, then at Hagoromo, before speaking in a low voice.
"There's a severed leg containing the Eight-Tails 'Chakra. I'll trade it for your help with some experiments."
Hagoromo said calmly and casually.
Minato Namikaze's mouth gaped slightly as he looked at the scroll.
Knowing something is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
What experiment?
Nine-Tails was somewhat tempted; the entire Sealing Space was simply too boring.
Before, Minato could still chat with Naruto, but now Minato has to teach Naruto things every day.
Not to mention Naruto, even Nine-Tails) was getting a headache listening to Minato's teachings.
If I could retain the Eight-Tails 'Chakra, I'd at least have something to keep me entertained.
"Release some of your Chakra so I can try out a new technique."
As Hagoromo spoke, he turned to look at Minato Namikaze:
"Can I Yong Dai Mei?"
Minato Namikaze quickly waved his hand and said, "You'll have to ask Nine-Tails about that. I won't interfere."
"Thanks."
Hagoromo nodded in acknowledgment; after all, it was inside someone else's son's body, so she had to ask.
What kind of technique?
Nine-Tails glanced at Minato Namikaze and asked Hagoromo.
"This..." Hagoromo said, as a dozen chains flew out from behind her, churning and tumbling incessantly.
Nine-Tails:???
Minato:!!
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
At the same time, Nine-Tails and Minato shouted loudly.
"Are you Uzumaki Clan?" Nine-Tails- Tailed Wrinkle asked Hagoromo.
Minato also looked on with a puzzled expression; the appearance of this technique made Minato feel quite nostalgic.
After all, this was a technique of Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
"No..."
"This technique is called Yang God Binding, a sealing technique improved upon the Adamantine Sealing Chains Sealing Jutsu."
"It can be used without needing the Uzumaki Bloodline."
Hagoromo explained to the two people and the beast, but Naruto just scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.
Minato looked on in amazement; he had never heard of anyone being able to do such a thing.
But Hagoromo did it.
Nine-Tails glared fiercely at Hagoromo, saying with utter disgust:
"What? You also want to covet our Tailed Beasts?!"
Hagoromo:...
The way the Nine-Tails looked at the idiot was unbearable, and she finally roared, "Speak!"
"Uh, Nine-Tails, the chakra beneath your feet is sealed with the Eight-Tails' leg Chakra."
"My seal can be easily broken by Hagoromo."
Minato said with an awkward smile.
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails, which had been filled with anger, instantly turned into beady eyes.
How much do you need?
After a long while, the Nine-Tails raised its proud head and asked in a muffled voice.
"No need for more, just three times the amount of Naruto's Chakra will suffice."
Hagoromo simply stated a number.
"For you."
Without hesitation, Nine-Tails released its Chakra from the cage, which slowly converged in front of Hagoromo.
"That's all we can do at once. Any more and the seal will go out of control."
After Nine-Tails finished speaking, she looked at the scroll at her feet and then looked up at Hagoromo.
"This seal is lifted, but you Tailed Beasts should be able to respond to your original bodies using Chakra."
"I hope we can avoid this."
Hagoromo looked up and said with a light laugh.
"Don't worry, I am the Nine-Tails Fox. I can toy with them like toying with dogs!"
