Upon hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, Naruto immediately went to the bedside, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed without daring to move.

Seeing Naruto's nervous expression, Uchiha Kakuyama smiled but didn't say anything more. He knew that comforting Naruto now wouldn't be very effective, so it was better to just start.

Without further hesitation, Uchiha Kakuyama activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, allowing his spirit to directly enter Naruto's mind.

Inside a dark, dripping underground labyrinth, Uchiha Kakuyama waded through ankle-deep water. His keen senses prevented him from wandering aimlessly; he could clearly sense an intense malice emanating from a particular direction. Uchiha Kakuyama knew that heading in that direction would lead him to the Nine-Tails.

When Uchiha Okayama turned a corner, he finally saw the legendary Nine-Tails.

Behind an extremely tall and massive iron gate lay a huge, orange fox, as large as a small mountain. The fox had beautiful fur, and behind it, nine tails swayed casually.

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan discovered the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails, which was lying on the ground, also noticed this uninvited guest. It raised its head, its huge eyes staring at the newcomer through the iron bars, and said, "This ominous aura and the cold eye power of the Human attribute, is it another evil Uchiha?"

Uchiha Kakuzan did not react to Kurama's hostility. After all, he knew how much suffering Kurama had endured under Uchiha Madara, and the feeling of being manipulated at will was indeed very unpleasant.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw that Kurama had noticed him, he greeted Kurama politely: "Kurama, hello, nice to meet you. My name is Uchiha Kakuzan, please take care of me."

When the Nine-Tails heard Uchiha Kakuyama address it, it immediately bristled. Its body, which had been lying casually on the ground, jumped up and assumed a battle stance. Chakra surged from its body, and a violent aura rushed towards Uchiha Kakuyama.

Uchiha Kakuzan stood there, feeling the overwhelming, suffocating aura rushing towards him. His originally calm face curled up slightly at the corners of his mouth as he mobilized his chakra and ocular power, channeling it into his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Under Uchiha Kakuzan's urging, the Sharingan began to spin wildly, unleashing an aura no less powerful than that of the Nine-Tails, and it also lunged towards the Nine-Tails.

As the two forces, each imbued with chakra, clashed, the already low water level began to surge, causing the entire underground labyrinth to tremble.

Uchiha Kakuzan narrowed his eyes, then increased the output of his chakra and eye power. An even stronger aura surged towards Kurama. With the addition of this aura, Kurama's aura was forced to retreat step by step. In the end, Kurama's body seemed to be suppressed, and all four legs trembled slightly.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew when to stop. Seeing that he had the Nine-Tails under control, he cut off the output of chakra and eye power. Instantly, the suffocating and oppressive aura that had been pressing down on the Nine-Tails disappeared, and the Nine-Tails, which was barely holding on, breathed a sigh of relief.

Kurama stared intently into Uchiha Kakuzan's eyes and said, "Your Sharingan is not an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. It is on the same level as Uchiha Madara's Sharingan back then, and it is much stronger than an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and said to Kurama, "Didn't Uchiha Madara tell you? This is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and its level and power are much stronger than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan."

Kurama shook its head in frustration. Whenever it thought of or mentioned Uchiha Madara, it couldn't control itself. It said, "Uchiha Madara treats me like a beast without intelligence and unable to communicate. Every time I see him, he controls me without saying anything and has never explained why his Sharingan is stronger than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan."

After witnessing Uchiha Kakuzan's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Kurama gave up resisting. After all, Madara Uchiha had used the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to manipulate Kurama back then. Moreover, Kurama was now sealed and had no way to escape. If Uchiha Kakuzan wanted to control Kurama, it would only take a little effort.

After hearing Kurama's words, Uchiha Kakuzan felt a pang of pity for it. Originally, Kurama lived freely and unrestrained in the sparsely populated mountains, never expecting to encounter such overpowered beings, especially two at once (Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama). From then on, it became Madara's tool of war, and later sealed inside Uzumaki Mito's body, becoming a tool for maintaining the village's peace. What's the difference between that and being in prison?

It was a miracle that one of them had finally died, but then a second and a third appeared, and then it was split into two when they were transferred to different cells. No wonder it was in a bad mood.

Looking at Kurama's massive body and orange-red fur, Uchiha Kakuzan pondered for a moment before making a move that left Kurama speechless. He walked through the crack in the iron gate, came to Kurama's side, raised his hand and stroked Kurama's fur, saying, "Hmm, it's surprisingly soft."

Kurama was also startled by Uchiha Kakuzan's actions and wanted to dodge, but when he thought of his strength, he knew that dodging would be useless and might even anger him, so he did not move.

Although the Nine-Tails' body did not move, its nine tails behind it shook rapidly, like helicopter propellers.

Kurama lowered its head and looked at Uchiha Kakuyama beside it, saying, "How did you get in here? Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up in one go?" As it spoke, it revealed its sharp teeth.

After stroking the Nine-Tails' fur, Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't satisfied and pounced on it, rubbing against it while saying:

"First of all, I have no hostility or malice towards you. As the Nine-Tails, you should be able to clearly sense that. Secondly, you can't beat me anyway. Of course, if you think otherwise, I can grant your wish. Finally, what entered this child's body is only a small part of my consciousness. Even if you disperse it or eat it, I'll only have a headache for a few days. But then, you'll have to take responsibility for your actions."

Chapter 118 Nine-Tails, Uchiha, One Family

Chapter 118 Nine-Tails, Uchiha, and Their Family

Nine-Tails was indeed bluffing. Because it is now a collection of negative emotions, it has gained the ability to easily and intuitively sense whether someone is hostile towards it. Moreover, this perceived hostility is deep within that person's heart. No matter how well they behave, as long as they harbor malice towards it, Nine-Tails can easily sense it.

Kurama sensed no malice from Uchiha Kakuzan. Although the Mangekyou Sharingan was disgusting and evil to Kurama, it was just a power, not consciousness.

Therefore, although it felt somewhat angry at Uchiha Kakuyama's rudeness, it also knew that the Uchiha in front of it harbored no ill will towards it. It was merely baring its teeth to intimidate him and express its dissatisfaction.

Of course, this is only because Uchiha Kagami's strength is enough to contend with it, or rather, to overwhelm it, that it is so easy to talk to. If it were an ordinary person, just try it, and the simple Nine-Tails' chakra erosion would be enough to change your mind and make you wish you were dead.

Therefore, only when you are on equal footing will others chat with you calmly and become your friend.

Uchiha Kakuzan felt very comfortable lying on Kurama's body. It was a large piece of living fur! Moreover, since Kurama was just an aggregate of chakra, it didn't have the physiological requirements of eating and excreting, so it didn't have the stench of a typical wild animal. Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan enjoyed the experience. It was not only soft but also warm, making him not want to get up.

The Nine-Tails lowered its head, looking at Uchiha Kakuyama who was clinging to it. It was already quite sensitive, and it felt that its bottom line was being challenged.

Nine-Tails took two heavy breaths, suppressing the urge to bite, and asked Uchiha Kakuyama, "How do you know my name? Only a handful of people know my name, and they are all no longer alive. How did you find out?"

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Uchiha Kakuzan changed his position, from lying down to sitting up. Fortunately, he was in a lower position; if he were on Kurama's back, the irritable Kurama would have already protested. Uchiha Kakuzan lazily lay on Kurama's body and casually replied to Kurama's question, "I saw it in our Uchiha clan's history."

Uchiha Kakuzan's answer touched on a blind spot for Kurama, who asked in confusion, "Clan history? What is clan history?"

"The clan history is the history of our family. We humans are different from you tailed beasts. We have a limited lifespan. At most, we can live to be a hundred years old before we die. In order to pass on our experience and knowledge to future generations, our ancestors wrote these things into the clan history."

Nine-Tailed tilted its head, thought for a moment, and then understood the purpose of the clan history. However, it still asked with some doubt, "So, your ancestors wrote my name into the clan history, and then you learned my name through the clan history, right?"

"Yes, that's right, otherwise how would I know your name?"

"But how did your Uchiha clan ancestors know my name?"

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Uchiha Kakuyama carefully answered its question:

You know the Sage of Six Paths, right?

Nine-Tails nodded: "I know, we were created by the Six Paths Elder, and our names were also given to us by the Six Paths Elder."

"Have you heard of Indra and Asura, the sons of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"I've heard of them. The eldest and youngest sons of the Six Paths Master. Although I've never met them, I've heard of them. However, when the Six Paths Master created us, his eldest son, Indra, seemed to have already fallen out with him, and the Six Paths Master had already handed over the Ninja Sect to his youngest son, Ashura. After that, we were driven away by the Six Paths Master, and I don't know what happened after that."

When Kurama finished speaking, his eyes were full of nostalgia. After all, they were created by the Sage of Six Paths, and in their eyes, the Sage of Six Paths was like their father.

After Kurama finished speaking, Uchiha Kakuzan continued, "Our Uchiha clan is descended from Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. In other words, Indra is the ancestor of our Uchiha clan. In a sense, we are not outsiders; we are all descendants of the Sage of Six Paths who left behind the bloodline and heritage of this ninja world."

When Kurama heard Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the entire fox was so shocked that it couldn't speak. Good heavens, there were no outsiders here. The Uchiha Madara who suppressed him was actually a descendant of the Six Paths. No wonder Kurama always felt that it was being subtly restrained when facing Uchiha Madara. So that's what was going on.

Since he himself was created by the Sage of Six Paths, isn't it only natural that he would be restrained by the power of his descendants?

Just then, Kurama seemed to remember something and looked at Uchiha Kakuzan's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, asking, "Then what about your and Uchiha Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Although the question about the Nine-Tails wasn't finished, Uchiha Kakuzan understood what the Nine-Tails meant. He nodded and replied, "Yes, it was left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. If I'm not mistaken, the ultimate evolution of our Uchiha clan's Sharingan should be the Sage's Sage Eye—the Rinnegan."

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded in relief. If it were being suppressed by a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, it would feel better.

Then, Kurama asked, "Didn't the Sage of Six Paths have two sons? Didn't his younger son Ashura inherit his Ninjutsu? Has Ashura had any descendants?"

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was such a curious child. After hearing Kurama's question, he looked at Kurama with a strange expression and said in a somewhat subtle tone, "The descendants of Ashura have also been passed down, and you should be very familiar with them. His name is -- Senju Hashirama."

When Kurama mentioned that it was very familiar with the descendants of Ashura at Uchiha Gyosan, it had a bad feeling and its heart skipped a beat. Then, when Uchiha Gyosan mentioned the name of Senju Hashirama, its bad feeling came true.

How could Kurama not be familiar with Hashirama Senju? In its mind, its two greatest enemies were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. The former was easily manipulated by his Mangekyou Sharingan, and Kurama felt like a puppet on a string. This sense of humiliation was firmly remembered by Kurama.

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release technique also left a deep impression on Kurama.

Chapter 119 Copying the Vortex Bloodline

Chapter 119 Copying the Vortex Bloodline

The experience that Hashirama Senju gave Kurama was no less than that of Madara Uchiha. Whether it was being manipulated by his Wood Release: Great Buddha like a chick, or being beaten up by Hashirama Senju's Great Buddha when he was being controlled by Madara Uchiha and wearing the Susanoo, Kurama remembered it all vividly.

It's important to know that although Kurama was controlled by Madara Uchiha at the time, he didn't miss any of the memories and experiences of being brutally beaten.

Thinking of this, the Nine-Tailed Fox fell silent. It never imagined that the two people who beat it the most in this world were actually descendants of the Sage of Six Paths.

Seeing that Kurama was almost depressed from the stimulation, Uchiha Kyūzan's wicked sense of humor resurfaced. He pretended to cough twice to attract Kurama's attention and then said, "Actually, the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are both descendants of Ashura."

Kurama didn't react immediately to Uchiha Kakuzan's words, and then asked, "The Uzumaki clan?"

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded, suppressing the urge to smile, and said, "For example, Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kushina, and now Uzumaki Naruto."

······

Silence is a state of being. There's a saying that goes, "Either you erupt in silence or you perish in silence."

The Nine-Tails' fur gradually stood on end, and a massive amount of Nine-Tails chakra slowly boiled, as if the air itself was about to distort. Uchiha Kakuzan, who had been lying on the Nine-Tails' body, was also pushed out through the gap in the iron gate by this rampaging Nine-Tails chakra.

Uchiha Kakuzan realized he might have gone too far, so he immediately channeled his chakra into the seal on the gate to resist the Nine-Tails' chakra's erosion. No matter how rampaging the Nine-Tails was inside the seal, it wouldn't matter as long as its chakra didn't leak out of the seal, it wouldn't affect Naruto, who was the Jinchūriki. Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't stop the Nine-Tails' rampage, but simply reinforced the seal on the iron gate.

In fact, the seal left by the Fourth Hokage, although set up in a very short time, was already quite perfect. It not only firmly sealed the Nine-Tails inside, but also ensured that the Nine-Tails' chakra could not corrupt Naruto.

It's important to understand that the Nine-Tails is a collection of various negative emotions, and its chakra is not a good thing. It contains all sorts of negative emotions that can cause people to lose control. From this, we can see that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had reached the pinnacle of skill in sealing techniques.

Not only did he set up such a perfect Eight Trigrams Seal in such a short time, but this seal could also convert the Nine-Tails' chakra into Naruto's own chakra. It should be said that he truly deserves to be called the Fourth Hokage, a genius of unparalleled talent. Other geniuses can at most improve their strength faster and have a slightly stronger combat awareness than the average person.

The Fourth Hokage was an all-around genius in both combat and invention. Even the various Spiral Balls and upgraded versions of Spiral Balls that his son used were all upgraded and modified based on the Spiral Balls he invented.

Uchiha Kakuyama waited for a while, until Kurama had vented its anger and calmed down, before leisurely walking into the sealed iron gate once again.

After Uchiha Kakuzan went inside, Kurama, having vented its anger, saw him and said irritably, "You're still here? What else is there?" It was getting annoyed whenever it saw members of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't care about Kurama's attitude, but said to Kurama, "I'm just telling you about the current situation of the child you've sealed away."

The Nine-Tails, already lying on the ground, had closed its eyes, indicating that it did not want to pay attention to Uchiha Kakuyama.

Seeing the Nine-Tails acting like a child, Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't angry. He continued, "This child's name is Uzumaki Naruto. He's been an orphan since he was little. He's just a child, a sunny and kind one. He has no prejudice or hostility towards the Tailed Beasts. I've already talked to him and asked him to try to be your friend. Now, it's up to you."

Furthermore, I recently received news that the Eight-Tails Gyūki in Kumogakure has found a like-minded Jinchūriki, and they get along very well. The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki is even hailed as the Perfect Jinchūriki by the people of Kumogakure. So, you could try to see if you can become friends with Naruto, and not treat the Jinchūriki as a shackle, but as a bond.”

While speaking, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't notice that although Kurama's eyes were closed, its ears were twitching slightly. After finishing speaking, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't linger; his consciousness immediately returned from Naruto's body.

After Uchiha Kagaya left Naruto's body, Kurama clearly sensed his departure. After a long while, Kurama's deep voice slowly echoed in the underground labyrinth, carrying some very complex and inexplicable emotions: "Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto..."

Uchiha Kazuyama, who had already left Naruto's body, was unaware of all this. When he emerged from Naruto's body, he found that the little Naruto lying on the bed had fallen asleep out of boredom.

Uchiha Kakuyama smiled, but he didn't forget the purpose of his visit. He immediately activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and used its eye techniques on the sleeping Uzumaki Naruto.

'Copycat Eyes' activated.

An invisible wave of energy swept out from Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan, beginning a scan of Uzumaki Naruto. As Naruto was being scanned, extremely complex genetic fragments were copied from Naruto's body in a way that was incomprehensible to others. These fragments were then received and stored by Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The 'Copy Eye' wasn't used by Naruto Uzumaki for very long, after all, it was the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which was much stronger than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. Moreover, the use of the 'Copy Eye' was also very covert; even the Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto's body didn't notice it before the copy was completed.

When the copying of the 'Copying Eye' was completed, Uchiha Kakuyama breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that Naruto Uzumaki had the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, and he was afraid that the Nine-Tails would discover it and cause damage. This was why Uchiha Kakuyama first went into Naruto's body to talk to the Nine-Tails. After getting to know each other and knowing that he was a formidable being, the Nine-Tails would generally not show itself unless he did something excessive to Naruto.

Chapter 120 Physical Examination

Chapter 120 Physical Examination

Now, Uchiha Kakuzan has already dealt with Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki. All he needs to do is win over Uzumaki Karin and her daughter, and copy the Uzumaki clan bloodline from them. Once he achieves his goal, he will have accomplished it perfectly.

After Uchiha Kakuzan deactivated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he casually closed the barrier he had just set up. Then he opened the door to the room and saw Uzumaki Kaoru and her daughter waiting outside.

Uchiha Kakuyama closed the door again, and looking at Uzumaki Kaoru and her daughter who were looking at him with concern, he said softly, "It's okay. I've checked the seal and reinforced it. Don't worry. Naruto probably fell asleep because I was too bored while I was checking it."

When Uchiha Kakuzan was channeling chakra into the seal of the iron gate, he slightly reinforced the seal to ensure that the Nine-Tails' chakra could not corrupt Naruto. With the current quality of Uchiha Kakuzan's chakra and the strength of the seal, it was enough to ensure that the Nine-Tails' chakra would not be able to escape from the seal and corrupt Naruto for one or two decades.

When Karin Uzumaki heard that Naruto Uzumaki was just asleep, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. She truly treated Naruto like her own son, and if anything had happened to him, she would have gladly taken his place.

Karin, who had been standing nearby, didn't quite understand what was happening, but when she saw her mother smile, she knew nothing bad had happened, so she smiled along with her mother.

At this moment, Uchiha Kagami also focused his attention on Uzumaki Kaoru and her mother. After such a long period of recuperation, Uzumaki Kaoru's body was no longer as weak as when they first met. When they first met, Uzumaki Kaoru was just one breath away from dying. Her weak body was like a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Now, Uzumaki Karin has a rosy complexion and strong movements. Although she is still very thin, her body is within the normal range. It should be said that she is worthy of the Uzumaki clan and has recovered in such a short time. If it were an ordinary person or an ordinary ninja, it would take more than a month to recover to this extent.

Karin, standing next to Karin, recovered even better. Although she had also been bitten by someone from Kusagakure, it wasn't to the extent her mother had been bitten. So, after a little rest, she recovered to be like a normal child. However, because of the fright she experienced in Kusagakure, she's still quite timid and dependent on her mother. But, with her older brother Naruto by her side, she'll surely recover completely.
