[You died...]
[Simulation ended.]
[Simulation evaluation: A miserable life as a tool. You never had a shining moment, were misunderstood and ostracized, yet showed no temper at all. You liked making friends, but you hardly had any. Your strength in meticulous thinking was never put to use, and your life could only be described as stifling.]

[Reward Selection Card obtained: Uzumaki]
"Even though it was miserable, at least those characters weren't me."
"But looking at it this way, the fates of Jinchuriki really were mostly tragic."
As a Jinchuriki, Naruto suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But once he thought about the plot, he stopped worrying.
"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore."
After all, Naruto had the system, and he was the protagonist.
As long as he did not slack off in the future, his achievements certainly would not be low.
"System, choose the Nine-Tails!"
[Ding~ Reward selection complete. Host obtained: One complete Yin-Yang Nine-Tails]
The selection was complete.
Naruto opened the System Backpack and saw an item card in one of the inventory slots.
[Yin-Yang Nine-Tails—Furious
Combat Power: 128,400
After use, a furious Nine-Tails will be summoned in front of the host.]
Seeing the item's description, Naruto felt a little unsure of himself.
At this stage, Naruto still did not know whether he could use Sealing Techniques to seal the Nine-Tails.
Although Naruto knew everything, he had never truly fought in actual combat.
How about...
Finding an opportunity to visit the Sealing Space.
Then using the Yang Nine-Tails inside him as practice?
The moment that thought surfaced, Naruto could no longer suppress it.
If he could easily subdue the Yang Nine-Tails,
then that would mean he had the ability to contend with a complete Nine-Tails.
Then, when he found an opportunity, he could release the Nine-Tails and seal it.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
At that thought, Naruto was already looking forward to it.
What kind of scene would it be when his complete Nine-Tails met the Yang Nine-Tails?
After that, Naruto washed up and went to sleep.
Perhaps because Naruto had been thinking about the Nine-Tails during the day,
that night,
inside Naruto's Sealing Space,
the Yang Nine-Tails used Chakra to draw Naruto's consciousness into the Sealing Space.
After Naruto woke up, he found himself in a dark sewer.
[Ding~ Mission issued: Gain the Nine-Tails' acknowledgment.
Reward: Simulation Opportunity +1]
"This is..."
"The Nine-Tails?"
Naruto's expression stiffened.
Could it be that the Nine-Tails had learned about what he had been thinking during the day?
That shouldn't be possible!
The Nine-Tails did not have mind-reading abilities.
Once he thought of the Sealing Techniques he possessed, Naruto felt reassured and walked deeper into the sewer.
Eventually, Naruto arrived before a massive iron gate.
A seal was pasted onto the gate. Beyond it was pitch-black, and he could not see anything.
"Brat~ Come closer."
The Nine-Tails' voice came from behind the gate.
The voice carried Chakra infused with Genjutsu, making Naruto instinctively want to approach the iron gate.
But Naruto quickly came to his senses.
Naruto revealed a faint smile and said toward the gate, "Drop the disguise. I know you, Kurama."
The voice behind the gate fell silent.
After a while,
the Nine-Tails dispersed the black mist behind the gate.
The Nine-Tails' enormous and terrifying form appeared before Naruto.
It lay on the ground and asked Naruto, "How did you know?"
"Because..." Naruto said, "Everyone else calls me a monster. How could I not know?"
The Nine-Tails curled its lips in a disdainful grin. "I asked how you knew this old man's name."
Thinking of the system's mission, Naruto began making things up. "An old man visited me in a dream."
Hearing Naruto's words,
the Nine-Tails slowly opened its beastly eyes, its voice carrying a trace of surprise. "What old man?"
At that moment, the Nine-Tails thought, Could it be the Sage of Six Paths...
Naruto directly described the Sage of Six Paths' appearance.
"That old man had three eyes, a beard, and a black staff. Strange horns grew from both sides of his forehead."
Behind the iron gate,
the Nine-Tails was already certain.
The Sage of Six Paths had visited Naruto in a dream.
Could the Sage of Six Paths' Chakra still be alive?
The Nine-Tails had begun to grow curious about Naruto's identity.
Otherwise, how could Naruto have encountered the Sage of Six Paths?
But suspicion was only suspicion.
As a Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails had been sealed by humans for so many years.
Its hatred for humanity was entirely real.
So the Nine-Tails raised a paw and slammed it against the iron gate.
The iron gate suddenly rang with a tremendous boom.
Naruto was caught off guard and jumped in fright.
He awkwardly took two steps back, then said to the Nine-Tails with displeasure, "Can you stop startling me like that?"
"Hehe... puny insect," the Nine-Tails mocked.
It seemed the Nine-Tails was extremely unconvinced by Naruto.
That was only natural!
After all, if not for the seal, Naruto's body would have long since been taken over by the Nine-Tails.
Naruto's face darkened, and he decided to use the Nine-Tails as practice first.
Naruto recalled the Sealing Techniques in his mind and immediately began forming hand seals.
Since Naruto was not skilled with the seals, his movements looked somewhat clumsy.
Seeing Naruto's actions, the Nine-Tails immediately burst into laughter. "Brat, don't tell me you want to attack this old man? Tsk tsk~"
A little brat whose hair had not even fully grown in.
He actually wanted to attack it?
Although it could not defeat humanity's strongest experts,
what the hell were you—thing... thing... huh?
In the Nine-Tails' eyes,
after Naruto slowly finished forming the seals,
a golden iron chain appeared before him.
"That is!" The Nine-Tails excitedly sat upright.
That was actually the Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains?
No!
It should not be.
Adamantine Sealing Chains required an enormous amount of Chakra.
Only by extending from behind the user could it continuously maintain such vast Chakra consumption.
But...
The Adamantine Sealing Chains floating before Naruto were not even connected to his body?
Naruto looked at the Adamantine Sealing Chains before him, which radiated incomparably terrifying sealing power, and immediately felt delighted.
He had not expected this thing to be so powerful.
It had also overcome the drawback of only being able to extend from behind the user.
It truly was the improved Adamantine Sealing Chains—Modified!
Naruto controlled the Adamantine Sealing Chains and sent them through the sealing gate.
Realizing that the little brat before it actually intended to teach it a lesson, the Nine-Tails immediately flew into a rage.
The Nine-Tails opened its bloody maw and roared, "Roar!! Brat, don't underestimate me!"
The Adamantine Sealing Chains crossed the iron gate and flew toward the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails raised a paw and swatted at them.
Crack~
The Adamantine Sealing Chains shattered instantly!
Seeing this, Naruto immediately frowned.
Too weak!
But it was not the technique that was weak.
It was Naruto's use of the technique that was weak.
At the moment, Naruto had not refined much Chakra.
His proficiency with the technique was also lacking.
And there was an issue with the intensity of his Chakra.
His age was insufficient as well.
But Naruto was not discouraged.
In the future, he would definitely be able to restrain the Nine-Tails with ease!
Since the Adamantine Sealing Chains were useless, he would try the more powerful Extreme—Eight Trigrams Sealing.
