"Who I am is not important; what matters is that you haven't forgotten the words of the Six Paths Sage, right?" Isamu looked at the Nine-Tails with a smile. Without waiting for it to answer, he continued by reciting the words the Six Paths Sage had once spoken to the Tailed Beasts.
"Even if you are separated, you will always be together. One day, you will become one, carrying your own names in a way completely different from the past. Unlike when you were inside me, you will receive the correct guidance on what true power is. Until that time comes…"
These were the exact words the Six Paths Sage had once spoken to the Nine Tailed Beasts. Isamu remembered them clearly, every single line engraved into his memory.
Hearing the words of the Six Paths Sage once more, the Nine-Tails fell silent for a moment. A complicated look appeared in its eyes as it asked in a low voice, "Could it be… that you are the person the old man spoke of? The one who can call out—"
"You're overthinking it. I'm not that person," Isamu interrupted before the Nine-Tails could finish.
Although he knew the names of all the Tailed Beasts, this destiny belonged to Naruto. He had no intention of taking it away. Without Naruto, the world of Naruto would lose much of what made it special.
"So it's not you…" The Nine-Tails sounded slightly disappointed. It had thought the person it had been waiting for had finally appeared, only to realize it was mistaken.
Seeing the Nine-Tails looking somewhat dejected, Isamu decided to give it a little hope.
"Kurama, there's no need to be disappointed. Even though I'm not the person you're waiting for, I can point you toward the right path. As long as you stay with her, the boy who can call out the names of all the Tailed Beasts will eventually appear. And I can guarantee it won't take too long."
As he spoke, Isamu pointed toward Uzumaki Kushina, who stood nervously behind him.
The Nine-Tails followed his gaze and looked at the red-haired little girl. Then it burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! That little girl? Do you take me for a fool? Judging by her hair, she's obviously from the Uzumaki Clan. You're just trying to trick me into being sealed inside her. Do you really think I'd believe something that stupid?"
Although she didn't fully understand what Isamu and the Nine-Tails were talking about, Uzumaki Mito slowly stood up and said, "So your name is Kurama… After all these years together, this is the first time I've learned that the Tailed Beasts actually have names."
"Even if I don't fully understand your conversation, I trust Isamu. Kurama, you should stay with this child. I believe you'll eventually meet the person who truly acknowledges you."
"Hmph!" Kurama snorted angrily. "You understand nothing, Uzumaki Mito. If his words carry even a little credibility, then yours carry none at all. If not for you, I wouldn't have been imprisoned for all these years! I won't believe a single word from you humans!"
The moment Uzumaki Mito spoke, the Nine-Tails immediately became agitated again.
Isamu felt helpless. Grandma Mito had accidentally ruined his entire attempt at persuasion. He had almost succeeded, but now the Nine-Tails clearly distrusted everything again.
Looks like I'll have to do this the hard way after all.
"One-Tail Shukaku, Two-Tails Matatabi, Three-Tails Isobu, Four-Tails Son Goku, Five-Tails Kokuo, Six-Tails Saiken, Seven-Tails Chomei, Eight-Tails Gyuki, Nine-Tails Kurama!"
Isamu called out the names of all nine Tailed Beasts in a single breath.
"You—!"
Kurama's eyes widened in shock. Before it could react further, Isamu's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.
"Sharingan Genjutsu!"
Taking advantage of Kurama's momentary distraction, Isamu instantly cast a genjutsu and forcibly suppressed the Nine-Tails.
"Isamu, what are you doing?" Uzumaki Mito asked in surprise.
"There's no time left to persuade it anymore. My Sharingan can only suppress Kurama temporarily. We need to complete the transfer immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the consciousness of the three returned to reality.
The crimson Chakra cloak surrounding Uzumaki Mito gradually faded. Breathing heavily, she sat on the edge of the stone bed and gently stroked Uzumaki Kushina's hair.
"You came here knowing you would become the Nine-Tails' container. You must have felt scared, sad, and unwilling, right?"
"…Yes," Uzumaki Kushina answered softly, lowering her head.
No child would willingly accept becoming the vessel of a monster.
"But remember this," Uzumaki Mito said gently. "Even as a Jinchuriki, you can still find happiness. The most important thing is to fill the container with love."
Hearing those words, Uzumaki Kushina thought of Minato Namikaze, the blond boy who had rescued her. Slowly, determination replaced the fear in her eyes.
"That's right," she whispered to herself. "As long as my heart is full of love, there's nothing to fear."
Seeing that Kushina had finally steadied herself, Uzumaki Mito turned toward Isamu.
"Alright, Isamu. We can begin now. We'll use the Four Symbols Seal. You still remember how to perform it, correct?"
"Yes." Sweat dripped from Isamu's forehead as he maintained control over Kurama with his Sharingan. "Grandma Mito, get ready. I'm starting now."
Uzumaki Mito nodded.
Black sealing formulas spread across her body from her abdomen. Isamu placed both hands over the seal and slowly began undoing the Four Symbols Seal.
A massive clump of crimson Chakra was gradually pulled from her body.
The Nine-Tails.
"Little Kushina," Isamu said calmly, "get ready. I'm about to seal Kurama inside you. Don't be afraid. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
"Okay!" Uzumaki Kushina nodded firmly. "I'm ready!"
"That's more like it."
Without hesitation, Isamu immediately transferred the Nine-Tails into Uzumaki Kushina's body and completed the Four Symbols Seal in one smooth motion.
The entire process happened almost instantly.
"Uncle, is… is it over already?" Uzumaki Kushina blinked in confusion. Aside from the sealing formula on her stomach, she didn't feel much different.
"Yes," Isamu said with a tired smile as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's over."
