Hello, Kurama

Night.

Hise, having just returned from a date with Yugao Uzuki, saw three little ones sprawled out on the floor like corpses.

"Food, I want food... food."

Naruto kept muttering in his sleep.

"Uh, you guys, did you not eat?"

"Mm."

Hinata nodded.

"Why?"

"The food you make is delicious and better for nutrition. Didn't you tell us to make sure we get enough nutrition?"

Sasuke tilted his head as he answered.

Hise: "So, you've been waiting for me this whole time?"

The three of them nodded.

"Alright, I'll make you some noodles."

"Phew, so full."

"Alright, go to sleep now."

The three: "Okay."

Half an hour later.

Watching the three little ones fast asleep, Hise smiled.

He then activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, allowing his consciousness to enter Naruto's sealing space.

In the dark corridor, he stepped through the water, heading toward the place where the Nine-Tails was sealed. Before long, he found the location of the Nine-Tails and saw it lying in the shadows, its eyes gleaming with malice.

"Hehehe, we meet again."

"Hmph! Brat! I'm going to tear you to shreds!"

The Nine-Tails lunged forward, but was blocked by the bars, leaving it to rage in impotent fury.

"Hahahaha, let me introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Hise, the grandson of Madara Uchiha."

Madara!!!

Upon hearing the name that filled it with fear, rage, and helplessness, the Nine-Tails fell silent. Its crimson eyes stared fixedly at Hise, as if trying to see right through him.

The Nine-Tails could see the silhouette of that man in Hise's face, and it couldn't help but shudder.

If there was anyone the Nine-Tails feared and hated most, it was undoubtedly Madara Uchiha.

He had used his Sharingan to control it and fight Hashirama Senju. Ever since then, it had lived a life of being sealed away, stripped of its freedom and confined.

If not for Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju would never have known the terrifying power of the Tailed Beasts. He would never have captured them to use as tools to balance the power of the ninja villages.

"Roar!"

"Brat! I'll kill you!"

"Damn descendant of Madara Uchiha!"

Hise smiled and activated his Mangekyo to cast a genjutsu on the Nine-Tails; the beast slowly quieted down.

After Hise released the genjutsu, the Nine-Tails let out a low growl, expressing its fury.

This brat was just like that terrifying man, Madara Uchiha—he could control it. And he did it even more easily than Madara Uchiha had.

"Damn brat, if it weren't for being..."

"Being sealed with half your power, you mean? It makes no difference, Nine-Tails. But I didn't come here today to argue with you; I came to negotiate."

"Oh?"

He can control me so easily, and he wants to negotiate? Is he pretending to be at ease while actually paying a heavy price?

No! There is another possibility! In that case... the initiative is in my hands.

"Heh, it must have something to do with my jinchuriki, that brat. Heh, keep dreaming!"

"I'm not dreaming, Nine-Tails. No! It's Kurama."

Nine-Tails: !!!

"Boy! How do you know my name! Speak!"

"I know the names of the other Tailed Beasts as well: One-Tail Shukaku, Two-Tails Matatabi, Three-Tails Isobu... Eight-Tails Gyuki, and Nine-Tails Kurama."

"I just want you to behave yourself. Naruto has reached the age to refine chakra and learn ninjutsu; don't interfere with him, and I have a way to make your life less boring."

"Once Naruto has gained enough strength, I will break the seal. I believe you two will definitely become good friends."

"Heh, who would want to be friends with you humans! I am the strongest Tailed Beast; would I ever bow my head to a human?!"

Although he was tempted by the promise that he wouldn't be bored, who could guarantee that he wasn't being deceived? He had seen enough of human cunning and greed.

"This is the Technique of Differentiation; it can separate a portion of your chakra to condense a small-volume clone. You can place part or all of your consciousness into the clone. You can have Naruto use your chakra to help you condense a clone, allowing it to move about in the outside world. However, a clone condensed this way has very little combat power; it might not even be able to beat an ordinary person."

"If you use it inside the sealing space, you can condense it yourself. I've also left this for you; it'll be more convenient for you to watch things with a clone, and you won't be so bored in the sealing space from now on."

After saying this, he took out a large screen, along with some other equipment.

This was a television capable of receiving signals from many dimensions, allowing him to watch anime and movies he had or hadn't seen in his past life.

There were also some cartridges; after inserting them, they contained all sorts of games.

Finally... there was a vending machine filled with various snacks and drinks. Through Fei Shi's request, the system had modified it for him. As long as chakra was input into the machine, one could obtain snacks and drinks. The vending machine would store the collected Nine-Tails chakra and eventually channel it into Naruto.

Following Fei Shi's introduction, the skeptical Kurama gave it a try and quickly condensed a clone. After experiencing everything Fei Shi had mentioned, he... he... got hooked.

There was no helping it; he hadn't experienced anything this interesting in who knows how many years. Not to mention after being sealed, when he didn't even have the right to freedom.

"Item: Environment Transformation."

The environment of the sealing space began to change rapidly. The area beneath Kurama's main body turned into lush green grass, and seven or eight-meter-tall trees sprouted elsewhere.

Finally, a house of about one hundred square meters appeared, complete with soft sofas and a large bed.

Moreover, the entire dim sealing space became bright.

"Well, are you satisfied now?"

The Nine-Tails was somewhat silent.

Although he liked the current sealing space and looked forward to the joy these interesting things might bring him, he wasn't stupid.

There was no such thing as a free lunch; what kind of benefits could the other party be looking to extract from him? Was it really for that child? Was that even possible?

"Didn't I say? It's for that child."

Nine-Tails: "..."

Do you think I believe you?

"Perhaps you don't believe it, but it really is for that reason. Maybe you should use that tiny gap in the seal to extend your chakra and carefully sense Naruto's body; there will definitely be a surprise. He carries the Uzumaki surname, you know."

After saying this, Fei Shi left the sealing space, leaving behind a bewildered Nine-Tails.

If the Nine-Tails knew how to talk trash, he would definitely say that those who speak in half-truths end up with half-measures.

The Nine-Tails couldn't quite figure it out. So what if he's an Uzumaki? Isn't it just that they are better at suppressing Tailed Beasts? Fine, they are very good at it, but what does that have to do with a surprise?

Out of curiosity, he controlled his chakra to observe Naruto's body, the entire process performed with extreme caution.

I'm not afraid of that brat; it's just because he gave me so much that he helped me escape my dull life.

He sensed for a while but found nothing.

Is he trying to trick me? Let's try again!

Observing even more carefully, he finally sensed a familiar fluctuation. That was... that was... who was it again?

It felt like the aura of someone I know.

Hmm, it doesn't feel like someone from this era.

Wait, the Uzumaki surname? A familiar aura?

Could it be the reincarnation of Asura?

How is that possible?!

If it is, how did this brat named Fei Shi know?
