To fully harness the Nine-Tails' planetary reserves of chakra, the Eight Trigrams Seal forged by the Fourth Hokage had to be dismantled. However, Naruto was currently at a strategic dead end.
He possessed zero foundational knowledge of Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques). The only Tailed Beast with an innate grasp of sealing was the One-Tail, Shukaku, who remained locked away in the Hidden Sand. Kurama, despite his vast power, had spent centuries being the subject of seals, not the architect; he could only offer the brute-force method of slowly eroding the lock with corrosive chakra.
Sealing was the "Advanced Mathematics" of the shinobi world—a complex interplay of chakra calligraphy, spatial interference, and conceptual anchoring. Attempting to master it without a curriculum was a fool's errand.
Naturally, Naruto's sights turned toward the Third Hokage. As the "Professor" who had governed Konoha for decades, Hiruzen sat atop a mountain of classified scrolls. Naruto knew that when Uzumaki Mito and Kushina brought their lineage to the Leaf, the village would have meticulously archived their clan's legendary sealing secrets.
The problem was leverage. If he simply revealed his Wood Release, it would trigger a level of scrutiny that would jeopardize his autonomy. He needed a bargaining chip that was impressive enough to justify advanced study, but "natural" enough to fit the profile of an Uzumaki Jinchuriki.
He focused on the innate bloodline traits of his clan: the Adamantine Sealing Chains (Kongō Fūsa) and the Kagura Mind's Eye (Kagura Shingun).
The chains were too high-level; materializing chakra into physical restraints required a degree of shape transformation that even he hadn't mastered. But the Kagura Mind's Eye—the ability to perceive chakra signatures and discern malicious intent across vast distances—offered a tactical opening.
Kurama naturally perceives malice, Naruto realized, his eyes narrowing. It's his primal instinct.
If he could "borrow" Kurama's sensory data and present it as a spontaneous bloodline awakening, he would have a flawless excuse. He could rush to the Sandaime, claiming to be overwhelmed by a sudden, terrifying ability to "hear" the hatred of the villagers. He would then request systematic sealing training to "stabilize and control" this erratic power.
It was a brilliant move. It would satisfy Hiruzen's protective instincts, reinforce Naruto's image as a child who relied solely on the Hokage, and grant him access to the archives.
Naruto didn't hesitate. Authenticity in this world was often a matter of timing. A "sudden" awakening required a "sudden" reaction.
He bolted toward the Hokage Building. He didn't take the quiet routes; he ran through the corridors like a gust of wind, his face a carefully crafted mask of panic and confusion.
The Hokage Building typically had no fixed guards at the entrance—a policy Hiruzen maintained to project an image of a leader who was accessible to his people. Most visitors were filtered through administrative desks, but Naruto ignored the astonished looks of the staff, racing straight for the stairs to the top floor.
In the quiet, solemn corridor outside the Hokage's office, the silence was shattered by his frantic, high-pitched shouts.
"Grandpa Sandaime! Grandpa Sandaime! Where are you?!"
He didn't search for the right door quietly. A truly frightened eight-year-old wouldn't check room numbers; he would scream for the person he trusted most. The echoes of his voice bounced off the polished wood of the walls, a loud, desperate signal intended to trigger the "God of Shinobi's" grandfatherly instincts.
Naruto reached the heavy double doors of the main office. He didn't knock. He burst through them, his chest heaving, his blue eyes wide with a fear that looked entirely too real.
"Grandpa... something's wrong! I can... I can hear them!"
