The Reincarnation of Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Good heavens!

Xiao Yun was so frightened that he dropped onto his backside. The monster before him was enormous—at most, he was the size of a lump of shit in front of it.

A fox's head, a gigantic body, nine tails... Could this be the legendary Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?

"You damned human, undo that evil contract you just made at once! Otherwise, I'll tear you to pieces!"

The furious voice echoed through the vast chamber for a long while, nearly deafening Xiao Yun.

"You're Kurama, aren't you?"

Summoning his courage, Xiao Yun got to his feet and asked timidly.

"Human, how do you know my name?"

Kurama's narrow eyes narrowed even further, and an incredulous expression appeared on his beastly face.

Xiao Yun's eyes darted about as his mind raced. A perfect script instantly formed in his head. The corners of his mouth gradually rose, pulling into an exaggerated curve.

"Hey, brat, I'm asking you a question! How do you know my name?"

Nine-Tails roared.

"Waaah!"

Xiao Yun suddenly burst into loud sobs, tears and snot pouring out at once.

Nine-Tails was dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Brat, why are you crying?"

"My Kurama! I've finally found you! I'm the reincarnation of Hagoromo Otsutsuki!"

Xiao Yun excitedly ran to the sealed gate, grabbed one of Nine-Tails' toes, and wept his heart out.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki?

Nine-Tails was stunned. A monstrous wave surged in his heart. That name had not been mentioned in ten thousand years.

"The reincarnation of Hagoromo Otsutsuki? You're lying, brat. I've lived for thousands of years. How could there possibly be reincarnation in this world?"

Nine-Tails looked coldly at Xiao Yun.

"Kurama, I'm telling the truth! Do you remember how I split the Ten-Tails into nine parts and scattered them across the world? That's right, isn't it?"

Buzz.

Nine-Tails felt his head ringing. Only the nine Tailed Beasts knew about that. How did he know?

After thinking for a while, Nine-Tails sneered. "Hmph, maybe you heard it from the other Tailed Beasts. You want to fool me? I'm far too clever to fall for your trick!"

"Ah, Kurama, let me ask you this. After perfectly merging with a jinchuriki, what is the strongest ultimate move you can use?"

Wiping away his snot, Xiao Yun asked seriously.

"The strongest ultimate move after perfectly merging with a jinchuriki?"

Nine-Tails looked at Xiao Yun in confusion.

"Hehe, isn't it Particle Mode? And after using it, you'll die. Am I right?"

Xiao Yun asked.

Buzz.

Buzz.

Buzz.

"You... you... you..."

Nine-Tails felt like his head was about to explode. Pointing at Xiao Yun, he looked as though he had seen a ghost.

Hehe!

The curve of Xiao Yun's mouth widened even more. Looks like I bet right. Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew Nine-Tails' ultimate move.

A genius like me!

"Kurama, I've finally found you! I've finally found you! I missed you so much! Waaaaah!"

Xiao Yun cried even more miserably.

"Old man, I missed you too! Waaaaah!"

Nine-Tails was now completely certain that the young man before him was Hagoromo Otsutsuki's reincarnation. Baryon Mode was his greatest secret. Even the other Tailed Beasts did not know about it. Only Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew this secret.

One man and one beast wept earth-shakingly. The more they cried, the sadder they became, moving anyone who witnessed it.

"By the way, old man, why did you make Naruto sign such an evil contract?"

Wiping away his tears, Nine-Tails looked at Xiao Yun in confusion.

"Ah, that's a long story. I'll tell you when there's time. By the way, if I need to use Chakra in the future, remember to lend your Chakra to Naruto."

Xiao Yun said.

"Mm, I will. But this seal is too powerful. There isn't much Chakra I can give him."

Nine-Tails nodded.

"Don't worry. One day, I'll free you from this seal. Then we'll gather the other eight Tailed Beasts together, and we'll be together every day, never to part again."

"Old man, I... waaah!"

"Kurama, waaah, waaah!"

Their eyes met, and man and beast began crying again.

"Master, I just had a strange dream. I dreamed that you and the Nine-Tails inside me were hugging each other and crying your eyes out."

Naruto woke from his coma and looked at Xiao Yun in confusion.

"Maybe you've been training too hard these past few days, so you've been having strange dreams. Listen to me—we won't train today. I'll take you to Moonlight Izakaya to relax."

Xiao Yun said with a smile.

"Moonlight Izakaya?" Naruto grinned, an extremely lecherous smile appearing on his face. "Master, you've been there too? Let me tell you, the number eight masseuse in there is incredible. Ordinary men can't even last a minute."

The number eight masseuse?

Xiao Yun looked at Naruto speechlessly. Had this kid already gotten into that kind of thing?

You're only ten years old!

Hokage Office

A muscular elderly man with white hair sat on the sofa, seething with rage.

Beside him stood a man and a woman. The man carried a massive sword as tall as a person on his back, his gaze cold and his face expressionless.

The woman wore revealing clothes and had a tall, curvaceous figure. A seductive smile constantly hung on her alluring face, as if she wanted to seduce everyone she saw.

Especially those two exaggerated mounds—even Tsunade was no match for her.

"Lord Hokage, today you will either accept the betrothal gifts and marry Tsunade to my brother Killer B, or repay the one hundred million gambling debt Tsunade owes me!"

The muscular man shouted at the Third Hokage.

"Lord Raikage, please calm down. I only just learned of this matter myself. You have to let me ask Tsunade what happened, don't you?"

The Third Hokage said with a smile.

"Fourth Raikage, tell Killer B that even if every man in the world died, I still wouldn't marry that tentacle freak!"

A furious roar came from outside the door. A graceful figure rushed in at high speed and smashed a fist into the betrothal gifts, reducing them to a mangled mess.

"Hehe, Princess Tsunade, pay up!"

The Fourth Raikage spread out his left hand and looked at Tsunade with a smile.

"I don't have any money either!"

Tsunade said irritably.

"Good! Very good! Does Konoha truly think there's no one left in Hidden Cloud Village?"

Crackle.

As soon as he spoke, the Fourth Raikage instantly activated the Chakra throughout his body. A powerful aura erupted in the office, shattering the table's glass surface and overturning chairs and stools across the room.

Everyone instantly broke out in cold sweat.

"You think you can threaten me? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you!" Tsunade refused to back down, taking a combat stance and preparing to fight at any moment.

"Let's talk this out, Lord Raikage. You came here to solve a problem, not to fight, didn't you?"

The Third Hokage's expression darkened as an overwhelming aura burst from him, instantly matching the Raikage's strength.

"Princess Tsunade, you must not act recklessly either."

The Third Hokage turned to Tsunade and said.

"Hmph."

Tsunade also withdrew her Chakra. Crossing her arms, she glared angrily out the window.

"Fine! Since Lord Hokage has said so, I'll give you face. But you must give me a satisfactory answer on this matter!"

With that, the Fourth Raikage also withdrew his aura.

"Princess Tsunade, this matter started because of you. How do you think it should be resolved?"

The Third Hokage frowned deeply. One hundred million was no small sum. Konoha's finances had already been strained these past few years. While one hundred million was not much, if he used public funds to repay her debt, those Daimyo would curse him to death.

Besides, over the years, he had no idea how many gambling debts he had secretly paid off for Tsunade. Several properties had even been sold to repay her debts.

That woman was truly too much trouble!

"Hmph! It's only one hundred million. If you've got the guts, let's gamble a few more rounds!"

As soon as Tsunade said that—

The Third Hokage, who had just taken a sip of tea, directly sprayed the water from his mouth...
