Deep inside the station, there is an open space.
It was a place usually used for training, but it was empty at the moment. The moonlight shone on the ground, and it was cold. The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of the night wind blowing.
Shaoyu stood in the middle of the open space and looked around.
This open space is not too big, but it is enough for what he wants to do.
He raised his hand and made a seal.
Space boundary.
Invisible chakra gushes out of his body and spreads around like a tide.
That chakra touched the ground, touched the air, touched the invisible space, and began to build an invisible barrier.
As the light flickered, a transparent dome rose from the ground, covering the entire open space.
The dome glowed faintly in the moonlight, like a huge soap bubble, beautiful and fragile.
But from the outside, there is nothing here.
Just an ordinary open space.
If someone passes by, they will only see the wild grass under the moonlight and hear the howling of the night wind.
They have no idea what is about to happen in this seemingly ordinary open space.
After the barrier was set up, Shaoyu took out a seal scroll from his arms.
The scroll was not big, only about the thickness of an arm, and its surface was engraved with complex incantations. In the center of the scroll, there was a big "nine" written on it.
Nine-Tails.
Shaoyu looked at the scroll, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
What was brought back from Konoha was not just the more than 600 tribesmen, not just the conquest of Konoha, and not just the awe of Shinobi World.
There is also this monster that has lived for thousands of years, the most powerful existence among Nine Tailed Beasts.
He took a deep breath and opened the seal.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound and smoke exploded.
The smoke was as thick as substance and instantly filled the entire barrier.
The moonlight was blocked and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
Only in the thick fog, a huge outline could be vaguely seen.
The smoke gradually dissipated.
A huge creature appeared in front of him.
It was lying on the ground, curled up into a ball. Even so, its body was dozens of feet tall, like a hill. Its fur was orange-red, glowing warmly under the moonlight.
Nine huge tails curled up around the body, like nine sleeping giant snakes. Its head was buried between its front paws, its eyes were closed, and its breathing was steady and deep.
Nine-Tails demon fox.
It is sleeping.
Shaoyu looked at it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This monster was sealed in Kushina Uzumaki's body for decades when it was Konoha, and lived a miserable life.
After being extracted, he was sealed in this scroll and fell into a deep sleep.
Now, it has finally seen the light of day again.
Although it is in this small boundary.
Shaoyu walked forward and stood next to its huge head. The head was bigger than his whole body, and a single hair was thicker than his arm.
He raised his hand and gently patted the orange-red fur.
"Hey." He said, "Wake up."
No response.
Nine-Tails is still asleep, breathing steadily and snoring like thunder.
Shaoyu raised his eyebrows.
He increased his intensity and slapped Nine-Tails on the head.
Snap!
The sound was clear and loud, echoing within the barrier.
Nine-Tails's snoring stopped.
Its body trembled slightly.
Then, those blood-red eyes suddenly opened.
"Damn Uchiha little devil--!"
Nine-Tails let out a thundering roar. The sound was like thousands of thunders exploding in the ears at the same time, causing the barrier to tremble slightly.
Its nine tails stood up at the same time, like nine furious snakes, swinging wildly in the air.
Its eyes were burning with anger as it stared at the human in front of it who dared to slap its head.
I'm so angry. I'm so angry.
Shaoyu stood in place, motionless.
He's even laughing.
"Are you awake?" he said, his tone as calm as a greeting.
Nine-Tails's anger grew even stronger.
It stood up suddenly, and its huge body cast a huge shadow in the moonlight, completely covering Shaoyu.
It lowered its head, put its ferocious beast face in front of Shaoyu, and the air from its snorts was enough to blow people away.
"You--!"
Its voice is deep and dangerous.
"I said you little devil, do you know what you are doing?"
Shaoyu looked at it, his smile unchanged.
"I want you to wake up."
Nine-Tails almost choked to death.
(งᵒ̌ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃
Wake it up?
How can you fix this, this arrogant little devil?
It has lived for thousands of years, and no one has ever dared to talk to it like this!
It is the legendary Nine-Tails demon fox.
It was about to attack, and suddenly it was discovered that the surrounding environment was not right.
This is not Konoha, not the place that sealed it, nor any place it is familiar with. This is an open space, surrounded by invisible barriers, and the moonlight shines on the ground, cold and quiet.
There is no Sealing Jutsu formula, no barrier runes, nothing binding it.
It looked at Shaoyu, a trace of doubt flashing in its blood-red eyes.
"Where is this?"
Shaoyu said, "Kumogakure."
Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment.
"Kumogakure?" Its brows wrinkled - if it had any brows, "Why am I in Kumogakure?"
Shaoyu smiled.
"I brought you here."
Nine-Tails's brows furrowed even more tightly.
It tries to remember what happened before.
It remembered that it was sealed in Kushina's body and lived a miserable life. Later, someone forcibly removed it from Kushina's body.
It remembers that there is a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan suppressing it, making it unable to resist.
It remembered that the red-haired woman fell weakly, and that it was pulled by a huge force, and was finally sealed into a scroll.
After that, it fell into a deep sleep.
When I wake up now, I am already at Kumogakure.
"Why did you bring me here?" Nine-Tails said coldly, his eyes full of vigilance.
Shaoyu looked at it with a calm tone.
"I want to be Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
Nine-Tails's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What?!"
Its voice rose an octave, and its roar almost shattered the barrier. Its nine tails stood up at the same time, and the hair on the tip of the tail stood upright, like a cat with exploding hair.
"Don't even think about it!" it roared, "I don't agree! Absolutely not!"
Shaoyu is not angry.
He didn't even move.
He just looked at Nine-Tails quietly, waiting for its anger to subside a little, and then spoke softly.
"Kurama."
Nine-Tails's body stiffened suddenly.
The roar stopped abruptly.
It widened its eyes and stared at Shaoyu, its eyes full of disbelief.
"How do you know..." Its voice was hoarse and trembling, "How do you know this name?"
That name was given to it by Sage of Six Paths.
That happened a long, long time ago, so long ago that even it almost forgot about it.
There are very few people in this world who know this name.
Shaoyu smiled.
"I know more than you think."
Nine-Tails was silent.
