From Today On, You Are No Longer the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Everyone Fears!

Upon hearing this, Kurama's ears twitched slightly. Kagami Uchiha's words struck a chord with it. It truly envied Matatabi's life—living freely and enjoying a respected status...

Sensing the Nine-Tails's wavering, Kagami Uchiha continued, "The Tailed Beast themselves are enough to destroy an ordinary country, but power itself is neither right nor wrong. As long as you can restrain yourselves, refrain from recklessly unleashing your power, and avoid harming the innocent, Konoha will allow you to live here peacefully."

As soon as the words fell, the Sage of Six Paths' instructions to them flashed through Nine-Tails' mind. The old man had told them that one day they would meet someone who could understand them.

Thinking this, it looked at Kagami Uchiha again, knowing full well that with the strength of the person before it, there was no need for him to patiently negotiate with it. If he wanted to exploit it, Kagami Uchiha had countless methods he could use. There was no need for so much talk...

Moreover, this meeting marked the first time that the ruthless and evil Kagami Uchiha had spoken to it so gently...

Could he be the person the Sage of Six Paths was talking about?

Although the person in front of me was a Red Eye middle-aged man, not some blue-eyed boy...

Perhaps the old man got senile back then and remembered it wrong...

Yes, that must be it!

After a long silence, the Nine-Tails' voice lost its usual ferocity, and it said in a deep voice, "Alright... humans, then I'll try to trust you this once!"

Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha's lips curled into a faint smile, "Very well, since the agreement has been reached."

"So, from today onwards, you are no longer the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that everyone fears."

"You will be Konoha's official Tailed Beast — Kurama!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kagami Uchiha stared intently at the large fox before him, his expression calm yet unwavering.

Sensing Kagami Uchiha's sincerity, Kurama couldn't help but look at Kagami Uchiha, his expression moved.

Kurama, the official Tailed Beast of Konoha...?

After more than a thousand years, it has finally been accepted by humans. Finally, it is no longer looked at with strange eyes, and finally, it is no longer called the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox...

That's right, its name is Kurama, and it's also a member of Konoha...

Sage of Six Paths, it seems I've finally met the person you mentioned, even though this person is a descendant of Indra, a rotten bastard...

However, to be fair, this person has always been a man of his word, a true gentleman...

Heh... Since that's the case, then from now on, Konoha is under Kurama's protection...

Watching Kagami Uchiha and Kurama reach a reconciliation, the red-haired girl Kushina was also moved, her eyes slightly reddening: Seeing these two reconcile is truly a moment worth recording. From today onwards, I will also get along well with Kurama and must not let down the Lord Hokage's painstaking efforts!

The perfect Jinchūriki mode, huh? I can't wait...

Minato, I'm working hard to get stronger, so you'd better watch out and not let me leave you behind!

A moment later, Kushina Kurama the Hokage Office, and the room returned to silence, with only the rustling of the wind outside the window.

Kagami Uchiha watched the girl's joyful departing figure, he fell into deep thought.

It seems that even the Tailed Beast yearn for peace. To be honest, if humans weren't so greedy, the Tailed Beast wouldn't have attacked them all these years, after all, they were instructed by the Sage of Six Paths.

However, the relationship between the two has become extremely hostile due to the relentless pressure from humans. But all of this will gradually change. In the future Shinobi World, everyone will have to abide by the rules of Kagami Uchiha!

Before long, a dark shadow crept silently in the corner of the office. Without the slightest fluctuation of Chakra, a pitch-black figure slowly condensed into form.

"It's Black Zetsu, isn't it?" Kagami Uchiha asked with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu stepped out of the shadows, bowed, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "It's me, Lord Kagami, it's me, Little Black Zetsu!"

After speaking, Black Zetsu looked up at Kagami Uchiha, who was sitting upright in the chair, with a respectful expression.

"Lord Kagami, after such a long pursuit, I have finally located Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, also known as Jigen."

Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha lightly tapped the table with his fingertip, his expression calm, and said indifferently, "Oh? How is it? That guy is at the Fire Temple, right?"

"That's right, Lord Mirror, just as you said, that guy is indeed currently entrenched in the Fire Temple," Black Zetsu replied respectfully.

"Furthermore, from my observation, Jigen seems to still be recovering from his injuries. However, even in his severely injured state, he still gives me the feeling of being unfathomable. I remember your reminder and dare not get too close to him, only observing his condition from a distance."

"To avoid suspicion, that guy disguised himself as a devout Buddhist ascetic; he spent his days meditating, chanting scriptures, and sweeping the floor, keeping an extremely low profile, so no one could detect anything unusual about him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kagami Uchiha nodded slightly, his expression solemn. "Still severely injured...?"

That's true. That guy, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, won't be active until after the Fourth Shinobi World War, which is at least thirty years away.

Moreover, according to future intelligence, that guy is currently in a symbiotic relationship with Jigen, and he is wantonly controlling Jigen's body, enjoying the life of that poor man.

A thousand years ago, Jigen accidentally discovered the severely injured Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Out of kindness, he wanted to heal him, so he allowed the creature to possess him.

Tobirama Senju was right. The Ōtsutsuki Clan is a naturally evil race, a cancer on the universe!

They must be completely eradicated.

Wedge...

Upon realizing this, a cold glint flashed in Kagami Uchiha's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It's alright, just keep an eye on him. Remember not to let him notice your presence. Now is not the time to eliminate him."

He still remembered Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Dōjutsu: Sukunahikona and Daikokuten; Sukunahikona's ability allowed Isshiki to Isshiki shrink himself to a size invisible to the naked eye; while Daikokuten's ability was to create a space where time stood still.

With these two Dōjutsu, ordinary methods are absolutely insufficient to completely eliminate Isshiki; in fact, they might alert him. A method to counter him is essential...

If one can control Isshiki within a single space and then kill it with swift and decisive action, the only examples that Kagami Uchiha can think of are Obito Uchiha's Kamui in the future and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Amenominaka; one can tear space apart at will, and the other can forcibly move a person into a specific space.

Only by completely trapping Isshiki can there be a possibility of killing him, but Kaguya absolutely cannot be easily resurrected...

Obito, on the other hand, is still just a little kid. His Sharingan is the eye of spiritual manifestation. Madara Uchiha has already reformed, so what if Obito in the future hasn't suffered that ordeal and thus can't awaken the power of Kamui?

Seeing Kagami Uchiha's increasingly grim expression, Black Zetsu cautiously asked, "Lord Kagami, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kagami Uchiha snapped out of his daze, his expression returning to calm. He said lightly, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about how to deal with Isshiki. After all, the sooner we get rid of him, the sooner your mother, Kaguya, will be safe, right?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's expression became excited, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern for my mother, Lord Jing. I am deeply grateful."

At this point, his expression turned solemn. "However, Lord Kagami, the Ōtsutsuki Clan is different from ordinary humans; they are not beings that can be easily killed. I think it would be best if you only act when you are absolutely certain of victory, lest you end up killing them instead of killing them..."

Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't easily lay a hand on him. By the way, Little Black, while you're monitoring Isshiki, you must be careful about your own safety. Your mother is still waiting for you."

"Alright, you can leave now!"

After speaking, Black Zetsu respectfully to Kagami Uchiha, then slowly walked into the shadows and left the Hokage Office.

Watching Black Zetsu's departing figure, Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but silently recite a phrase in his heart.

It seems I still have to rely on myself...

I wonder what kind of Dōjutsu my Rinnegan will grant me?

This is really something to look forward to...
