Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Minato put his arm around Chiba's shoulder and teleported him directly to Kushina's doorstep. Minato's delivery service is fast at delivering anything!

"Lord Chiba."

"Your Excellency, Minister."

Several Root ninjas sensed the disturbance and rushed out from the shadows. When they saw that it was Chiba, they quickly bowed respectfully.

"Alright, it's nothing. I just came to check on the Jinchuriki. You may all leave."

"Yes."

Chiba casually waved his hand, and the group immediately obeyed and disappeared.

That's right, guarding the Jinchuriki is within the scope of his Root organization's business, which is why Minato agreed so readily.

Isn't this just blatant embezzlement... cough cough, well, he did his job well, didn't he?

"Minato!!! Oh, and Chiba too, what brings you guys here?"

When Kushina opened the door and saw Minato, she was overjoyed and wanted to rush over, but when she saw Chiba standing to the side, she immediately looked annoyed.

"Xiao Jiu, Chiba wants to extract some Nine-Tails chakra from your body for research purposes. Do you think you can help him?"

After entering the house together, Minato pointed to Chiba, who was smiling obsequiously beside him, and got straight to the point.

"Huh? But Kurama doesn't listen to me at all. Well, I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Kushina looked troubled, but since Minato had spoken, she could only try her best.

"Hey, Nine-Tails... Huh?"

Kushina immersed her consciousness into the sealed space and suddenly discovered that Kurama, who usually lazily lay with its eyes closed in the cell, was now unusually upright, staring intently at Chiba as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Little girl, that guy has the Five-Tails' aura within him! And the power of Hashirama Senju... no, he even has the scent of Madara Uchiha!"

Nine-Tailed Fox bared its teeth at Chiba, its fur standing on end. Chiba's complex composition made it feel threatened, something it hadn't felt in a long time.

"Hey, Nine-Tails, you didn't want to lend me your power, so you made this up, didn't you?"

Kushina looked suspicious. "You might think it's possible that Chiba has the Five-Tails inside him, but what about Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?"

Both of them have been dead for a long time. Chiba is even younger than him. How could he possibly have anything to do with them?

"No, the Nine-Tailed Fox is unwilling to help, and it even bared its teeth and claws at me."

It kept saying that Chiba had the Five-Tails inside him, and then it said that Chiba had traces of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha on his body.

Kushina's consciousness returned to reality. She shook her head helplessly at Chiba and Minato, repeating what Kurama had just said.

"Five tails?"

When Minato heard the name Five-Tails, he glanced at Chiba in surprise, but after hearing the names of Hashirama and Madara, he dispelled his doubts about Chiba.

"It's normal. After all, it's about lending out one's power for free. It's understandable that they might be unwilling to accept it and go a little crazy."

Chiba smiled slightly and looked kindly at the Nine-Tails inside Kushina's belly.

"Kushina, I want to enter your body and have a friendly conversation with the Nine-Tails, to see if I can persuade it. Is that alright?"

"Don't let him in! I have no desire to have any contact with him!!!"

Before Kushina could make a decision, the Nine-Tails within her roared.

So, Kushina, who hadn't originally intended to agree, nodded and readily agreed, "Okay, come in!"

Minato: "???"

He felt there was something strange about what the two were saying, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it—like a flash of light falling in the darkness…

Swish!

Chiba lightly touched Kushina's abdomen with one finger, and chakra carrying her consciousness entered the sealed space within Kushina's body.

"It's good to see you again, Nine-Tails. Lend me your power."

Looking at the large fox so close to him, Chiba wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and gave a friendly smile.

"Don't come over!!!"

Seeing the "little bug" rushing towards it, the Nine-Tails, despite its enormous size, showed a look of terror.

This kid wasn't this strong before, but now, it actually sensed a power in Chiba that was the same as the old man's (the Sage of Six Paths).

Chapter 114 The Journey to Sunagakure, Edo Tensei Tobirama

"Hmm? That's strange, why is there no sound?"

In reality, Kushina, who was chatting with Minato while waiting, looked puzzled.

Although she did not actively seek out the scene inside the sealed space, she could hear the sounds.

As a result, after Kurama howled just now, there was suddenly no sound inside, which made Kushina feel itchy and quite curious.

Swish!

A few minutes later, Kushina finally couldn't hold back any longer and sank her consciousness into the sealed space.

"Ah?"

Kushina was completely bewildered. She had expected to see Chang Wei beating Laifu as soon as she entered the room, but the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.

Chiba was stroking Kurama's head, smiling and talking to it, but...

"How did the Nine-Tails shrink so much all of a sudden?!" Kushina couldn't help but exclaim.

The once enormous and majestic Nine-Tailed Fox had shrunk considerably, becoming thin and bony, its fur losing its luster, as if it were malnourished.

Kushina was dumbfounded. "Where is my huge Nine-Tails? What is this greyhound in front of me?!"

"Ahem, that..."

Chiba realized he had pulled the Nine-Tails a bit too hard, coughed awkwardly twice, and tried to explain.

"I had such a great chat with Nine-Tails just now, and it was so happy that it gave me a tiny bit more power. It was its own initiative, don't you think, Nine-Tails?"

As she spoke, Chiba moved the hand that was rubbing the nine-tailed fox's head to its throat and continued rubbing it, looking very friendly.

"No, that's right, that's how it is."

Under Chiba's tyrannical power, how could Nine-Tails dare to utter a single word of dissent? Take the initiative? Damn it, it didn't dare to move an inch!

"Kushina, I'll head out now, so Minato won't be waiting impatiently outside."

After making excuses, Chiba hurriedly left the scene of the crime.

"Hey, Nine-Tails, what did he do to you that made you so obedient?"

Looking at the Nine-Tails, whose tail was drooping, Kushina asked somewhat dejectedly.

She had tried so many methods and put in so much effort before, but she still couldn't get the Nine-Tails to obey. How did Chiba manage to do it in just a few minutes?

"He even has the Uzumaki bloodline in his body—Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha… He must be the old man's illegitimate son!"

The Nine-Tails did not respond to Kushina, but instead howled hysterically, whether from joy or pain, it was hard to tell.

"Tch, I can't be bothered with you. Your stories are getting more and more outrageous. I'm going to ask Chiba directly!"

Kushina pursed her lips, muttered something under her breath, and then left the sealed space as well.

"Alright, I've obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra. I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing that Kushina had opened her eyes, Chiba patted Minato's shoulder and prepared to make a run for it.

"A young, young couple?"

Faced with Chiba's teasing, Minato's face turned bright red. Cherry tomatoes and chili peppers, what a perfect match!

"Hey, Chiba, could you tell me how you tamed the Nine-Tails?"

When Kushina called out to him, Chiba's heart skipped a beat, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she wasn't there to collect a debt.

"Have Minato give you the Rasengan, then use your massive chakra to smear the Nine-Tails' face with the Rasengan. If it doesn't work the first time, just smear it a few more times."

Chiba had already reached the door, but suddenly turned back to Minato and said, "By the way, Minato, should I ask the Root ninjas nearby to leave?"

"Is it...is it okay?" Minato asked with some delight.

Every time he came to see Xiao Jiu, there were several Root squads waiting outside the door, making it impossible for him to talk to Xiao Jiu about anything sensitive.

...For example, the current situation in the ninja world, um, that's it!

"Of course, they won't show up again tonight."

Chiba gave Minato a meaningful look, and then, with a grateful look in Minato's eyes, went out and dismissed the Root ninjas nearby. Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?

"Next up is the power of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure. Just to be on the safe side, I'll go there myself."

……

Two weeks later, outside Sunagakure Village.

Chiba spread his pure white wings in the air, and soon a golden wave swept up and flew towards him.

Needless to say, the one who came riding the waves was none other than Value Brother Luo Sha. Upon learning of Chiba's visit, Luo Sha dropped everything and rushed over without saying a word.

"Chiba, why didn't you let me know you were coming to Sunagakure? I could have arranged for people to welcome you!"

Rasa hugged Chiba with a look of surprise and said in a reproachful tone.

Rasa, now the second-in-command of Sunagakure, looks very proud, and he always remembers Chiba's kindness in saving his life and giving him a second chance.

"Haha, I was just thinking of giving you a surprise. You're so busy these days, it saves you the trouble of preparing," Chiba joked.

"What are you saying? What are you saying! Even if I'm busy, do you think I can't find some time to entertain you?"

Upon hearing Chiba's words, Rasa immediately became displeased and started arguing with Chiba with a smile.

The two chatted as they walked, and after passing through the Sunagakure gate by scanning their faces, they headed towards the Kazekage Building.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Just as the two walked into a deserted alley, several puppets suddenly rushed out, brandishing sharp blades and thrusting them at Chiba.

"...Scorpion, what are you doing?"

Luo Sha did not make a move. Chiba looked down at his body, which was riddled with holes from the blade, and said helplessly.
