The Nine-Tails felt much better after being flattered by the Six-Tails, and its expression immediately became amiable.
Six-Tails, as expected... cough cough.
"Of course."
Nine-Tails proudly raised its chin. "First of all, the close relationship between Naruto and Sasuke that you see now was achieved under my subtle guidance."
"Huh? Holy crap! So the director of all that disgusting little drama we've been watching is Nine-Tails, you burning fox! Everyone, see? I told you Nine-Tails was born to burn fox, wasn't I right?"
Upon hearing this, Shukaku paused for a moment, then immediately began to curse.
"... Foolish, stinky cat, you've missed the point!"
Nine-Tails was speechless.
"Yes, Shukaku, you should focus on these things first. Let Kurama reveal his plan."
" Kurama did a good job, keeping Naruto and Sasuke occupied, which reduced the amount of energy he could devote to us, but there's still danger."
" Kurama, please, what other methods are there? We will cooperate with you in any way we can."
The other Tailed Beast also began to speak up for Nine-Tails.
After all, Nine-Tails) has a solution, while Shukaku) just acts as a rebuttal personality, hurling insults.
"You... you guys?!"
Shukaku was taken aback when she realized she had become the target of everyone's anger.
But soon, Shukaku, regaining its senses, met Nine-Tails's evil gaze and felt a chill run down its spine.
This Nine-Tails, which was born to be possessed, shouldn't be sacrificed so that Naruto can thank Yuhuo first?
"You're right, Sasuke alone isn't enough. So, we need to take a multi-pronged approach, and it would be best to send another Tailed Beast in to infiltrate their ranks."
"And Gaara, the Jinchuriki of Shukaku, is a very suitable candidate."
Under Shukaku's horrified gaze, Nine-Tails revealed its plan.
"Yeah, Gaara controls sand. When he's playing with Naruto while controlling sand, he can make Shukaku suddenly possess him and use that... Naruto know..."
Two-Tails Matatabi excitedly shared its little idea.
" Sand Burial?"
Shukaku tentatively added.
"Yes, it's Sand Burial. If it crushes Naruto, we'll be safe, right?"
The Matatabi revealed the cruel and destructive desires inherent in cat demons.
Fortunately, those present were all Tailed Beast and did not possess the corresponding items, so they did not react to these words.
Except for the Nine-Tails.
Because of their current special state, Nine-Tails ) is one with Naruto, so it feels whatever Naruto feels.
Similarly, the reverse is also true.
What Nine-Tails feels, Naruto will feel too.
Therefore, Nine-Tails) has experienced the pain of phantom limbs.
"No! I won't allow you to hurt my Jinchuriki! Matatabi, you've gone too far!"
Nine-Tails- Tails immediately rebuked and objected.
"Why should I? It's fine if I and Gaara sacrifice ourselves, but you can't sacrifice your Jinchuriki? That's a permanent solution!"
Shukaku seized the opportunity to question Nine-Tails.
When Nine-Tails just revealed the method for Gaara to sacrifice himself, it dared not refute it.
If it were to refute that, it would be attacked by the other Tailed Beast.
But now is a good opportunity.
"Yeah, Kurama, aren't you being a bit hypocritical? You're willing to sacrifice our Jinchuriki, but you're not willing to do it yourself?"
Matatabi scratched its cheek with its paw.
"..."
Nine-Tails's opinion of Matatabi has plummeted; now Matatabi is only slightly better than Shukaku, who has been constantly criticizing it.
Originally, Nine-Tails's plan didn't include Matatabi, but given Matatabi's attitude, it has to find a way to add a scene for Matatabi to satisfy Matatabi.
"Ahem, do you think I don't want to? Haven't you all noticed yet? Why does Sasuke have the Rinnegan? Why did he get the Rinnegan after mating with Naruto?"
Those are the eyes of the Six Paths Old Man!
Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of the Chakra of the two sons of the Six Paths Old Man!
You want to destroy the joystick? Do you think you've done right by the Six Paths Old Man ' upbringing? Hmm?
We Tailed Beast have always been cursed by those foolish humans in the Shinobi World for being born that way, but we all know that we are far more noble than some people in the Shinobi World; they are the ones who are truly born that way.
Are we now going to degenerate and do the same thing?
The Nine-Tails revealed Naruto's identity as the reincarnation of Asura, completely reversing the tide of battle.
The other Tailed Beast were immediately speechless.
The Matatabi had raised the question was speechless. He lowered his head, lay down on the ground, and meowed, pretending to be dumbfounded.
The Tailed Beast can disregard everything else, but not the Sage of Six Paths.
"What should we do then?"
" Nine-Tails, let's listen to you."
After a moment of silence, everyone spoke again.
The Nine-Tails ' authority among the Tailed Beast was recognized.
Putting everything else aside, Nine-Tails is now the Jinchuriki of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' son.
"Actually, the idea behind Matatabi's plan was good, it was just a bit too cruel."
Nine-Tails began by reassuring the frustrated Matatabi, then continued, "Look at the situation outside. Jiraiya actually sent Naruto to spread his Sage Mode shortcut; that's the key."
"Is this the key?"
The Tailed Beast, who knew absolutely nothing about this, were completely baffled.
"That's right, the joystick has a limited lifespan. If we let Naruto use the joystick by himself as much as possible, then he won't need to use it on us!"
Therefore, I must ensure that Naruto doesn't rely on this shortcut, and prevent him from mastering the proper Sage Mode through practice.
Nine-Tails spoke with a serious expression.
"How can we guarantee that? Should we interfere with him every time he enters Sage Mode using Tailed Beast Chakra? Won't he notice?"
Eight-Tails asked.
"It's interference, but not interference using Chakra."
Nine-Tails fox shakes its head.
"Now I can feel Naruto's body, so all I need to do is rub my body against him when he tries to use a proper Sage Mode, causing him to have distracting thoughts, and he will naturally fail."
And he wouldn't even notice this method; he would only feel a strange itch on his body for no apparent reason.
"So, Nine-Tails, how many times have you interfered with Naruto so far?"
Eight-Tails is curious.
"Zero."
"..."
" Naruto seems to be addicted to taking shortcuts; I haven't seen him try the proper way even once."
Nine-Tails offered an awkward explanation.
The Tailed Beast fell silent for a while.
"Great idea!"
"Really."
" The Nine-Tails is indeed intelligent."
"Don't rush to praise me."
The Nine-Tails stopped the other Tailed Beast from praising it.
"This plan alone cannot succeed; it needs to be implemented in conjunction with the other plans I mentioned earlier."
Therefore, Shukaku, you still need to persuade your Jinchuriki to get closer to Naruto, ensuring that Naruto's stamina won't be wasted on us.
"..."
Shukaku felt that he didn't need to "persuade" Gaara at all; Gaara would definitely do it willingly.
Even after he told Gaara this, Gaara was able to use this opportunity to give himself a reason to muster his courage.
"Besides Shukaku, there's Matatabi."
The Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox revealed its true intentions, remembering the Two-Tails that had offended it earlier. Now, it had already decided on the task for the Matatabi, and a wicked smile appeared on its face.
