"Yes."

Hagoromo nodded, but to achieve this goal...

It's simply too difficult.

In the original work, Naruto has always treated everyone with sincerity, no matter what he encounters.

This made Nine-Tails) gradually take Naruto seriously.

After all, even knowing that his parents died protecting Konoha, Naruto was still willing to risk his life to protect the Konoha.

Honestly, spending too much time with this kind of person, even if you don't understand their actions, can be quite tiring.

But I also admire him.

"But teacher, what should I do?"

Naruto thought it might be feasible, but he had no clue how to do it.

After all, when it comes to true friends, aside from Shikamaru and a few others...

He has almost no friends.

"I don't need you to do anything," Hagoromo said with a light laugh.

"Huh?" Naruto was a little taken aback and stared blankly at Hagoromo.

"Naruto, the core of friendship, or rather, friendship, is mutual equality and understanding."

"If you have free time, communicate well with the 'him' inside you, explore 'his' past, so that you can understand how to get along with 'him'."

"No one can help you with this; you have to do it yourself."

Hagoromo spoke, she pointed to Naruto's chest and said slowly.

Upon hearing these words, Naruto gradually revealed a smile.

I don't know how to put it, although this is the first time I've heard Hagoromo say these things.

But Naruto inexplicably felt that this was the best choice.

"That damn brat!" Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tails Fox bared its teeth, its tails thrashing wildly.

"I will never communicate with this damned brat! No! Forget communication, I'll make sure he can't even get in here!"

"Yeah?"

A simple, unassuming remark interrupted the raging Nine-Tails.

"Who!"

The sudden sound directly stimulated Nine-Tails, and the entire Sealing Space was instantly filled with Nine-Tails's Chakra.

Inside the Sealing Space, Hagoromo looked up and around.

He ignored the water rippling on the ground due to the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, or rather, the water formed by Chakra.

Last time I came in, I was absorbing the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, so I didn't have time to take a proper look around.

Looking at it now in reality, it's no wonder that Nine-Tails harbored such resentment.

The Fourth is not only a genius at naming things, but their aesthetic sense is also quite something.

"You little brat!"

The Nine-Tails finally spotted Hagoromo standing in front of the cage, its enormous eyes filled with hatred.

"Heh, I didn't expect a human to be able to get in. Kid, take a few more steps forward."

Hagoromo tilted her head, carefully observing the Nine-Tails's behavior, which resembled that of a wolf grandmother.

He chuckled lightly, "Hello, Kurama!"

Just as Nine-Tails Fox was about to trick Hagoromo into stepping forward and preparing to teach this brat a lesson, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Bang--!

"Kid! Who are you?! How do you know this name?!"

Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox slammed its claws heavily against the cage bars, its massive fox face looming over Hagoromo as it roared loudly.

"Me? You can call me Sawada Hagoromo, I'm Naruto's teacher."

Hagoromo spoke, she took a few more steps forward and stood before the giant claw that Nine-Tails had extended from the railing.

"However, Kurama, could you please quiet down and listen to me for a moment?"

Silence fell, and the Nine-Tails' Chakra rampage within the Sealing Space ceased. He looked at the person before him, and whether he called out his name or this person's name, it all exuded an eeriness.

After a long silence, Nine-Tails finally spoke, its voice cold. "Speak."

"However, I'm curious why you, as a human, were able to get in."

Hagoromo's lips curled into a smile; she was testing him.

So, who dares to say that the Tailed Beasts are a tyrannical mixture of Chakra?

"Me? Of course, that's how I came in."

As soon as Hagoromo finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Chakra within her body began to emanate.

This is why Hagoromo was able to enter the Sealing Space.

By combining Yin Release with Genjutsu techniques, a projection capable of forming a mental mirror image can be achieved.

This can be achieved by using Yang Release Chakra to maintain the projection.

This is another application of Yin-Yang Release that Hagoromo developed after obtaining the Yin-Yang Release Basic Scroll.

After all, the Nine-Tails could awaken at any time, so Hagoromo naturally had to make some preparations for Naruto.

"Heh, there are actually people in the world who can use Yin-Yang Release to this extent."

Even Kurama (the Nine-Tails) couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Yin-Yang Chakra emanating from Hagoromo.

After all, he hadn't seen a human achieve this level of skill in a long time.

"Thank you for the compliment, but Kurama, I only came in to have a proper talk with you."

As she spoke, Hagoromo sat down directly on the ground, propped her chin up, and tilted her head back to speak to Nine-Tails Fox.

"Let's talk? For the sake of this brat in this body?"

Upon seeing Hagoromo's Yin-Yang Release, Nine-Tails immediately abandoned its original plan.

Since it's unlikely to succeed, it might be possible to try if there were no Sealing Space.

However, the techniques of the Fourth Minato Namikaze, were so domineering that they were practically the pinnacle of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu.

"Yes, Naruto, like you, wasn't forced to endure all of this willingly."

"So, I think maybe you two can get along better."

Hagoromo chuckled as he spoke, though he had asked Naruto to try and understand the Nine-Tails.

However, if Naruto doesn't confess to Nine-Tails first, he'll probably have to go through a lot of trouble before he can barely manage to do it.

"What a joke! Minato Namikaze sealed me right here! And now you want me to get along with his son?!"

Who do you think I am?!

If it weren't for the cage, the Nine-Tails would only be thinking of biting this arrogant person to death.

"I wonder, Nine-Tails, do you still remember that prophecy?"

Hagoromo completely ignored the Nine-Tails' blatant malice and instead asked a question.

"Prophecy?"

Nine-Tails was taken aback by these words, and distant memories flooded back.

"The prophecy of Gamamaru of Mount Myōboku, calling upon the name of the nine- Tailed Beast, and the blue-eyed boy playing with it."

Hagoromo Yi spoke these words with a relaxed expression, helping Nine-Tails recall this memory.

"So? Who exactly are you? And how do you know about this prophecy?!"

At this moment, Nine-Tails wished he could grab the Hagoromo and put it in front of him so he could see who this human really was.

"I've already said, I'm just Naruto's teacher. This is to prevent your Chakra release from affecting Naruto's growth."

"Could you consider my suggestion and try to get along better with Naruto?"

"Heh heh... So what if it is? Why should I listen to you and do such a pointless thing?"

Nine-Tails dismissed Hagoromo's words with disdain; he wouldn't easily trust a human before verifying his claims.

"It's not about listening to me, but about not bringing resentment towards those who hurt you into your interactions with Naruto. Communicate with Naruto in your own way."

"That's all I wanted to say."

Hagoromo shook his head, rejecting Nine-Tails's claim, since he certainly didn't have the ability to make Nine-Tails listen to him.

But the Sage of Six Paths has one!
