The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"What does the Sage of Six Paths need to fully reappear in the ninja world?"

After saying that, he just stared at the Nine-Tails quietly.

......

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Uchiha Tonan's expression gradually turned cold.

He gently picked up the teacup, held it in front of his eyes, and slowly swirled it around, his eyes examining the patterns on the cup. He spoke in a casual tone:

"What is the name of the one-tailed creature?"

After the question was asked, Kurama finally answered:

"Guarding the Crane".

Uchiha Tonan nodded, put down his teacup, chuckled softly, and shook his head, saying:

"It seems you're not refusing to answer the question because you resent me."

Rather, it was simply that they were unwilling to answer the first two questions.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan sighed helplessly, slowly stood up, and walked step by step toward the Nine-Tails.

As Kurama (Nine-Tails) saw Uchiha Tonan approaching step by step, a sense of unease welled up in his heart, and his expression immediately became tense. He said in a flustered manner:

I don't understand what you're saying.

"Don't come any closer! What are you going to do!"

"Naturally, I will find the answer myself."

As Uchiha Tonan approached, Kurama suddenly noticed that the golden chains binding it were retreating and shrinking into the ground.

"roar~"

Freed from its restraints, the Nine-Tails roared at Uchiha Tonan and raised its right claw to slash down at him.

However, Uchiha Tonan's expression remained unchanged, and he did not activate the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is effective against tailed beasts.

He simply raised one index finger and touched the tip of the Nine-Tailed Fox's claw perfectly.

The moment the index finger touched the claw tip, Kurama felt as if it had become a weak human, while the Uchiha brat opposite it was the real tailed beast.

An unparalleled force struck, sending the nine-tailed fox flying and crashing heavily onto the dragon pillar.

"Oh!"

Nine-Tails was hit so hard it saw stars. It shook its head violently, staring at its claws with disbelief, "How is this possible...?"

Uchiha Tunan continued walking towards the Nine-Tails without stopping, saying leisurely as he did so:

“You are no match for me outside, let alone inside me.”

The Tailed Beast Space is subordinate to the Mind Space.

The mental space is inherently virtual.

If a person's mind is strong enough and their beliefs are firm enough, they can influence their subconscious.

Then one can control everything in the mental space.

As you have seen before, my true nature is so pure.

I can manipulate everything here, whether it's time, space, or mass.

"How can you fight me?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox recalled that when it was first sealed inside, the surroundings were pitch black, without a single ray of light.

He immediately stared warily at Uchiha Tonan, who was walking towards him, and said in a deep voice:

"Pure darkness... What kind of monster are you...?"

As Uchiha Tonan drew closer, Kurama's fur instinctively bristled.

He pressed himself close to the dragon pillar, baring his teeth at Uchiha Tonan in an attempt to scare him away.

Uchiha Tonan approached the Nine-Tails and slowly raised his hand.

At the same time, Kurama suddenly felt its body become unusually heavy, and its body fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

Uchiha Tonan's palm just happened to touch Kurama's chin.

He immediately used the Yamanaka clan's memory-searching ninjutsu to examine the Nine-Tails' memories.

Kurama felt a wisp of cold chakra enter its body and linger there.

As time went by, Uchiha Tonan's brows gradually furrowed.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan withdrew his hand and said thoughtfully:

"Interesting... So you're not a real living being after all."

In essence, it really is just a mass of chakra.

How do you store memories if you don't have a brain?

Kurama now clearly saw the enormous gap between himself and Uchiha Tonan.

He simply gave up, cowered under the dragon pillar, closed his eyes, and said coldly:

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't want to see you right now.

As for your earlier question, it's not that I don't want to answer, but rather that I genuinely don't know.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly trying to determine whether Kurama's words were true or false.

After a few breaths, Uchiha Tonan decided to put the matter aside for now and interrogate him properly when he had time.

However, before leaving, it is necessary to inform the Nine-Tails to fulfill its due duties.

But then a bright smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face, and he said gently:

"I still have things to take care of outside."

Before you leave, please release your chakra so I can use it later.

Upon hearing this, Kurama opened its eyes and glanced at Uchiha Tonan.

Perhaps it was because Uchiha Tonan looked too kind at this moment that Kurama forgot its own predicament.

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly and said, "Dream on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan's smile vanished abruptly.

Upon seeing this, Nine-Tails tensed up and stood up abruptly, instinctively taking two steps back and saying:

"What are you going to do?"

As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

"A beast is a beast; it can't even understand such a simple truth."

Then, Uchiha Tonan raised his right hand, and a thick golden chain shot out from his palm.

He lashed out with the whip at the Nine-Tails' left cheek.

"Snapped!"

"roar~"

The Nine-Tails, in pain, kept its eyes tightly shut and instinctively opened its mouth wide to roar at Uchiha Tonan.

However, its roar did not improve its situation.

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap..."

A series of whipping sounds rang out from the palace.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's roar gradually turned into a howl similar to that of a dog.

Even its nine tails tucked between its legs.

"The reason you dare to disobey my orders under these circumstances is simply because you are immortal."

Uchiha Tonan, while expressionlessly whipping the Nine-Tails, said indifferently:

"From the moment I came in, I changed the flow of time between here and the outside world."

I have plenty of time to thoroughly punish you, you beast, until you are completely subdued.

Seeing Uchiha Tonan calling him a beast repeatedly.

Nine-Tails had never suffered such humiliation before. Her pride was ignited, and she forced herself to endure the pain, saying, "Don't even think about it..."

"Clap clap clap clap..."

"You must understand that being worse than death is something far more terrifying than death itself."

"roar~"

"Clap clap clap clap clap..."

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Tonan finally stopped.

The Nine-Tailed Fox lay exhausted under the dragon pillar, its body twitching repeatedly.

Everything in the Tailed Beast Space belongs to the mental space, and any injuries sustained here are actually mental wounds.

That kind of pain is much harder to endure than physical pain.

Just as Kurama secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had made it through, Uchiha Tonan's indifferent voice rang out again.

"Now, one second has passed."

Let's continue.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails trembled violently, its eyes filled with terror, and it pleaded:

"Stop...stop hitting me...use it if you want..."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's lips curled into a satisfied smile. He retracted the golden chains and said in a gentle tone:

"Stay here quietly, or if I catch you doing anything suspicious..."

I will give you an unforgettable memory.
