"It seems like Naruto likes you quite a bit, Kazashiro."
Back in the living room, Kushina watched her son Kazashiro engaging in a "friendly and intimate" interaction, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"How did you figure that out?"
With his hair tangled from Naruto's pulling, Kazashiro asked Kushina with a bitter face.
"Haha, from all sorts of places! So, are you finally done with your mission?"
Kushina chuckled and reached out to catch Naruto.
"Alright, Naruto, be good, let go of your Kazashiro."
Kushina gently pried Naruto's hands apart and soothed him softly before taking the reluctant Naruto from Kazashiro's arms.
"Yes, we encountered a group of foolish enemies on the road, but we spared one of them and sent him to the Torture Department."
Kazashiro spoke casually; in his view, an enemy of this strength was not as intimidating as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"It seems other countries already know about the attack on Konoha, but I wonder if they know you are the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails."
The most powerful external brain, Minato, immediately analyzed the current situation from Kazashiro's words and said with some concern.
"Yeah, the Three-Tails is, after all, Tailed Beast from Kirigakure. Speaking of which, Xiao Kazashiro, you've never told me you became Jinchuriki. That's really not very nice of you, is it?"
Kushina was also worried about Kazashiro, and at the same time, she was somewhat resentful that he had kept it from her.
"I'm sorry, Kushina- nee, there were too many things that happened during that time, and not many people knew about it, so I didn't tell anyone."
Kazashiro chuckled and brushed the matter off.
"I am, after all, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, so I can still pass on some experience to you."
After placing Naruto in the stroller, Kushina Minato to comfort their son, while she herself sat down next to Kazashiro.
"Uh, experience..."
Recalling the sight of Nine-Tails bound hand and foot in Kushina's consciousness space, Kazashiro expressed serious skepticism about the experience the other party spoke of.
Since he doesn't have the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, he can't use a powerful Sealing Jutsu like the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Hey, by the way, that time in the consciousness space, you said the Nine-Tails' name was Kurama, where did you hear that?"
Kushina stopped dwelling on the topic and instead became interested in the name of the Nine-Tails.
"Well, that's a bit too complicated to explain. Anyway, Kushina- nee, you could chat with Kurama and try to comfort him. Oh, right, how about I go and try to persuade him too?"
Kazashiro changed the subject. He couldn't very well tell Kushina that he had heard the Sage of Six Paths mention the names of the Tailed Beast, could he? Tailed Beast were easy to fool, but Kushina was not.
"It would be good to try and persuade it, but this guy hasn't said a word since what happened last time."
Kushina said this, but still extended her hand.
With the two Chakra connected, Kazashiro once again entered Kushina's consciousness space.
In order not to appear weak in front of Nine-Tails, Kazashiro, as expected, called Isobu, who was sleeping.
As soon as he entered the consciousness space, Feng Bai saw that the nine tails, with its limbs and nine tails nailed by chains, were tied to a boulder suspended in the air in the shape of "Jack".
"Damn it, the Three-Tails!"
Upon seeing the Three-Tails creature, the Nine-Tails, which had been withdrawn for a long time, finally roared once again.
"Hiss, it's been a while, Kurama, your voice is still as loud as ever." Kazashiro picked at his ear, trying to relieve the discomfort caused by Nine-Tails's loud voice.
"Kid, you have no right to speak here, shut up!"
"You're the one who should shut up, Kurama!"
Kazashiro's bold statement stunned Nine-Tails. He was the bravest person Kurama had ever seen besides Hashirama, Madara, Mito, and Kushina. Nine-Tails even wondered if the other person had some kind of Senju, Uzumaki, or Uchiha bloodline.
But when it carefully sensed the brat in front of it, it found that apart from Chakra, there was nothing special about the other party, and it immediately reverted to its vicious expression.
"You brat, I'm going to eat you!"
"Kurama, I must solemnly tell you that Isobu never revealed your name to me, nor did it tell me about the prophecy. It was all arranged by the Sage of Six Paths."
Completely ignoring the Nine-Tails' intimidation, and with Kushina backing him up, Kazashiro became exceptionally bold.
As she grew older, Kushina was no longer as Fudō by the Nine-Tails as she was in her youth, causing the Tailed Beast Chakra to leak out and go berserk.
Currently, her ability to suppress the Nine-Tails is only slightly less than that of Mito.
If she wanted, she could easily wrestle with the Nine-Tails- Tails and extract its Chakra for her own use.
"Hmph, Three-Tails, you really found a Jinchuriki." Nine-Tails didn't believe Kazashiro's words at all, and was even more annoyed because the other party so easily mentioned the Sage of Six Paths.
However, Nine-Tails quickly dispelled Kushina's anger with her chains. Sensing Nine-Tails's rage, she immediately summoned her chains and delivered several solid blows to Nine-Tails.
"Kurama, Kazashiro is right. He knew all of this all along, including the Ten-Tails."
Seeing Nine-Tails being whipped like a grandson, Isobu felt a little scared. While thankful that his Jinchuriki was not the red-haired woman in front of him, he also silently spoke up to defend Kazashiro.
"Snort..."
Nine-Tails snorted coldly, remaining silent, but its struggles lessened considerably.
Seeing that the Nine-Tails had finally calmed down, Kazashiro stepped out from behind Kushina and, with her help, used the chains to reach the Nine-Tails.
"Kurama, although for certain reasons that child did not become your Jinchuriki, the prophetic moment has indeed arrived. The one who once controlled you is plotting to revive the Ten-Tails."
When Kazashiro came in front of her, Nine-Tails had already turned her head to the side, intending not to listen to his nonsense.
But when it heard the last sentence, its ears still twitched uncontrollably.
The only person who ever controlled it was Madara Uchiha.
That was the culprit who shattered the Nine-Tails' peaceful life.
If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, Nine-Tails would still be living a carefree life of eating and sleeping, and occasionally going out to fight Shukaku.
Everything ended the day he met Madara Uchiha.
Nine-Tails was beginning to believe Kazashiro's words, but his personality meant he wouldn't take the initiative to respond.
"In short, I don't expect to resolve your resentment with just a few words, but I hope you can ease your relationship with Kushina and use your own eyes to see if what I'm saying is true."
After saying this, Kazashiro returned to Isobu's head, indicating that Kushina could leave the consciousness space.
