"Hey, hey, haven't you two had enough?!"
The Nine-Tailed looked at the family of three, embracing tightly and unwilling to separate, and said impatiently, "Minato and Kushina, you two don't have much time left, do you? Are you sure you want to waste time like this instead of quickly talking about something important with Naruto?"
The Nine-Tailed's words broke the tender moment shared by the family. Uzumaki Kushina immediately said, displeased, "Kyuubi, you're still as unlikable as ever!"
Couldn't it see that their family was enjoying long-lost affection? To break the mood at such a time was truly unlikable!
"Hmph!~"
The Nine-Tailed snorted lightly and turned its head away, not wanting to bother with her.
Seeing this, Uzumaki Kushina ignored it and turned to her husband. "Minato, aren't you going to explain what's going on now?"
Originally, according to Minato's plan when he sealed the Nine-Tailed into Naruto's body, he should only appear when Naruto released the Nine-Tailed's Chakra to the point where the eighth tail appeared. As for her, she would only appear to help when Naruto was about to completely master the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
But now, her son looked only about ten years old, which didn't match that condition, and her husband's Chakra was also present.
Most importantly, the Nine-Tailed not only appeared unsealed but also seemed… tamed.
This situation left Uzumaki Kushina confused and unable to understand what was happening.
"The situation is like this—"
Minato Namikaze immediately began explaining everything, telling her about Naruto's exceptional talent and even his ability to traverse worlds. As for the Nine-Tailed, in Minato's explanation, it was reduced to a minor detail, mentioned in just a single sentence.
"Naruto!~"
Uzumaki Kushina's eyes filled with pride after hearing this. She hugged Naruto tightly and said happily, "I knew it—my son is the best! It's all your dad's fault for insisting on sealing the Nine-Tailed into your body and making you carry such a burden!"
In her eyes, after hearing about Naruto's abilities, the Nine-Tailed was nothing more than a burden.
No—worse, a fatal weakness.
After all, once a Tailed Beast is extracted from a Jinchuriki, it means death.
Thinking of this, she glared at Minato with dissatisfaction.
"Hehe—"
Minato scratched his head awkwardly. "Although I believed Naruto would be outstanding, I didn't expect him to be this outstanding. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn't have sealed the Nine-Tailed into—"
"Hey, you two, that's enough!"
The Nine-Tailed interrupted angrily, glaring at them. "What do you two scoundrels take this old man for? Did I willingly get sealed into Naruto? And Fourth Hokage—you even split me into two parts back then just to help your son control my Chakra. I haven't even settled that score with you yet, and now you're already disdaining me?!"
When it mentioned being split in half, its tone became especially agitated.
Being sealed, it could tolerate.
But this?
Absolutely not!
"Cough, cough!~"
Minato scratched his head awkwardly. "I did that to help Naruto get along better with you. Isn't the result good now? Nine-Tailed, please don't mind it anymore."
"Good my ass!"
The Nine-Tailed glared fiercely. "You'd better have a way to bring my other half back. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you!"
"This…"
Minato's expression became troubled. "That might be a bit difficult."
In truth, it was impossible.
The other half had been sealed using the forbidden jutsu Reaper Death Seal, consumed by the Shinigami. Minato had no way to retrieve it.
"Hmph!~"
The Nine-Tailed didn't understand The Reaper Death Seal. Hearing "difficult" instead of "impossible," it assumed there was still hope.
"Deal with your own mess. A half-bodied me can't use my full power—and in the end, it's your son who suffers."
"Minato, actually, that's not—"
Uzumaki Kushina was about to explain that the Reaper Death Seal couldn't be undone, but suddenly she noticed Minato's body beginning to fade.
"Minato, what's wrong with you?!"
"Don't panic, Kushina," Minato said gently, stroking her cheek. "My time is simply up."
"To be able to spend this moment with you and Naruto… I'm already satisfied. Now, use the remaining time to stay with him. You must have a lot to say, right?"
When setting the seal, Minato had left more Chakra on Kushina's side. His own time was always meant to be short.
"Minato, but—"
Kushina clutched his sleeve, sobbing.
"Hmph, boring human emotions!~"
At that moment, the Nine-Tailed spoke disdainfully.
Then, with a flick of its tail, a surge of Chakra flowed into Minato.
His fading body immediately stabilized—becoming even clearer than before.
"This is—"
Minato looked at himself in shock. "Nine-Tailed… you can do this?"
This wasn't simple Chakra transfer—this was sustaining consciousness itself.
"Hmph, what's so strange about that?"
The Nine-Tailed lifted its head proudly. "My Chakra connects all Chakra. Your existence is maintained by Chakra, so I can sustain it. Simple."
"Wow!"
Kushina immediately ran over and patted its paw. "Then give me some too! I don't want to disappear so soon!~"
"Hmph, trivial."
Another flick of its tail—and Kushina was also reinforced with Chakra.
"How amazing!"
Kushina bounced back to Naruto and hugged him tightly. "This is great! Mama can stay with you longer! Are you happy?!~"
"Mm!~"
Naruto nodded, then gave the Nine-Tailed a grateful look.
"Thank you, Big Fox…"
"Don't get the wrong idea," the Nine-Tailed muttered, turning away.
"However—"
Minato suddenly became serious. "Nine-Tailed, will this affect Naruto?"
Kushina also looked concerned.
"There will definitely be some effect."
The Nine-Tailed's eyes flickered slightly. "To become a perfect Jinchuriki, Naruto's Chakra must fully merge with mine. If your Chakra remains, that fusion won't be possible."
It then explained:
There are two ultimate Jinchuriki forms:
The Chakra Mode: forcibly using the Tailed Beast's power
The Perfect Jinchuriki Mode: complete harmony and fusion
But for the second, no other Chakra can interfere.
In other words—
If Minato and Kushina remained, Naruto couldn't reach that state.
"Is that all?"
Naruto spoke immediately, completely unconcerned.
"If that's all, then it doesn't matter at all!"
He looked at them and smiled confidently.
"Dad, Mama—I'm already strong. Even without Big Fox's power, I can protect myself. So… please don't leave me again, okay?"
The last words carried a hint of pleading.
"Understood."
Minato gently pulled Kushina closer and smiled. "Then we'll stay with you."
"Mm-hmm!~"
Kushina nodded rapidly, holding Naruto's hand tightly.
"Hehe!~"
Naruto grinned. "Actually, I can even go to virtual worlds in my dreams. Time barely passes here, but I can learn everything there and bring it back!"
"Isn't that amazing?"
"Huh?!"
The Nine-Tailed immediately snapped, furious.
"Brat! This old man didn't know about this! Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Hahahaha!~"
Kushina burst into laughter, wrapping an arm around Naruto.
"Kyuubi, Naruto is our son. You're just a pet—how dare you compete for attention? Hahaha!"
"Damn Kushina! Who are you calling a pet?!"
The Nine-Tailed stood upright like a human, pointing angrily.
"This old man is a Tailed Beast—the embodiment of malice! I'll eat you, you scoundrel!"
"Pfft—hahaha!~"
Kushina laughed even harder.
Soon, Naruto and Minato joined in.
The Nine-Tailed fumed, cursed for a while—
Then stormed back to the sealing gate and slammed it shut behind it.
