Divine Kingdom Sacrifice

"Kid, who are you?"

The Nine-Tails lay lazily on the ground, its eyes fixed on Simu with scrutiny.

Simu had no issue with the Nine-Tails calling him "kid." After all, it was an ancient monster said to have lived for thousands of years. Calling him a kid was perfectly reasonable.

Simu's gaze burned brightly as he said calmly, without yielding in the slightest, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the earthly agent of the great Lord Jashin, Kamizuki Simu."

"Jashin?"

The Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes slightly, seemingly having heard that name before.

Adjusting his glasses, Simu asked, "Mr. Nine-Tails, have you heard the revered name of Lord Jashin, one mighty enough to make the entire Shinobi World tremble?"

The Nine-Tails glanced at him with some disdain. "I heard that name from the old Sage of Six Paths, more or less. But making the Shinobi World tremble..."

Simu nodded without surprise. Sure enough, the Sage of Six Paths had indeed been involved in the Age of Deities.

But what role had he played in it...?

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

This time, it was the Nine-Tails asking the question. It was equally interested in this person who had so easily infiltrated Konoha and entered Naruto's mental space.

Though it despised those people from Konoha, the Nine-Tails had to admit that those fools who shouted about the Will of Fire all day did possess some skill.

Of course, that assessment applied only to certain people in Konoha.

For example, the First Hokage and that one with the Sharingan...

As well as every Hokage and Uzumaki Clan Jinchuriki.

It had to be said that Konoha possessed a natural advantage when it came to sealing the Nine-Tails.

Wood Release, Uzumaki Sealing Technique, and the Sharingan all had suppressive effects on the Nine-Tails.
