"Big brother, you said you could help me deal with the Nine-Tails?" Naruto stared at Uchiha Sora in disbelief and asked blankly.
Uchiha Sora nodded, then said, "But I'll need your cooperation."
"My cooperation?"
"Yes. First, you'll need to use your own strength to peel off that sealing tag up there," Uchiha Sora said with a smile.
"Peel off that tag?"
"Mm. Don't be afraid. Once you peel it off, you'll find out who your parents are," Uchiha Sora added.
"What?!" Naruto trembled.
What troubled him most was having neither a father nor a mother. Whenever he saw other children laughing and talking with their parents, boundless loneliness welled up inside him.
He had never expected this big brother to tell him that he could see his parents simply by removing the seal. Was that really true?
Uchiha Sora's words also puzzled the Nine-Tails behind the cage.
"Damn you, Uchiha! What exactly are you trying to do?" the Nine-Tails growled.
Ignoring the Nine-Tails' roar, Uchiha Sora gave Naruto a gentle push. Naruto's body slowly rose against his will until he reached the sealing tag on the front of the cage.
"Kid, he's right. As long as you tear off that tag, you'll get to see your parents." At that moment, the Nine-Tails could not help feeling excited as well and coaxed him gently.
Although it did not know what Uchiha Sora was trying to do, or why he would help free it from the seal, this could only be a good thing for it.
Naruto slowly raised his hand and gently began peeling off the seal.
Uchiha Sora stood with his arms folded, quietly watching the scene with a faint smile still on his face.
Just as Naruto had peeled the seal halfway off, a figure suddenly appeared beside him
