Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

They change their so-called containers to vent their anger, and even resort to seemingly crude schemes and tricks.

As a result, the First Hokage, the god of the ninja world, died, as did Madara Uchiha, who was on par with him. Later, the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage also died.

But Nine-Tails is still alive.

Konoha hates the Nine-Tails, yet it has no choice but to rely on it.

From the perspective of freedom, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) is pitiful; he was imprisoned for nearly a hundred years.

But from another perspective, as long as he outlasts all those who are hostile to him, he will ultimately be the winner.

Moreover, each time he changes containers, he can use chakra to make the other party go berserk. For him, this is a way to gain freedom, and it is also a pastime during his long prison life.

I believe that to Kurama, I am just a passerby in its long life.

Naruto sat down in front of the iron gate, this time regarding Kurama as an equal to himself.

"Long time no see, Nine-Tails," he said gently.

Kurama glanced at Naruto, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Kid, why are you being so polite today? You don't need to pretend here."

"I must apologize to you for my previous arrogance," Naruto said solemnly as he stood up.

"Huh?" Nine-Tails was puzzled, and even a little flustered.

I have a feeling that Naruto is up to some trick again.

"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Nine-Tails suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He had seen Naruto from Naruto's perspective; Naruto was polite, refined, and sincere. But Kurama, who knew the truth, naturally knew that it was all a facade.

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) is also used to Naruto treating him with his true nature.

After all, they were in a relationship of mutual exploitation.

Now, seeing Naruto's refined appearance, Kurama felt a chill for some reason.

Could it be that the Nine-Tails was brainwashed by the Root and its mind was changed?

Or perhaps it's being controlled by the Sharingan?

Nine-Tailed Fox was completely baffled.

Naruto chuckled and said, "I've just figured it out."

"Hmm?" Nine-Tails put down the mouse, intrigued.

Naruto looked at Kurama and sighed, "I've just realized how weak I am, and I understand once again how difficult my situation is."

"Right now, I am like an insignificant being trying to shake a tree. Konoha has a history of nearly a hundred years. Even if my talent is outstanding, it is not easy to completely break free. I have not yet transcended the world and have not yet possessed enough power."

“Fools think themselves wise, but wise men know their own limitations. I don’t want to be a fool. So, Kurama, I need to face my situation, and I need your help.” Naruto looked at Kurama with a sincere expression.

"You provide me with information, and I'll provide you with entertainment, letting you witness the magnificent spectacle of Konoha being overthrown. After all, we're in the same boat."

Seeing Naruto's sincere expression, Kurama got up from the gaming chair, its body returning to its original mountain-like form, its face fierce, and it laughed loudly with its head thrown back.

"Interesting, kid. Looks like you've figured it out. Very good, interesting. You're the most interesting Jinchuriki I've ever seen."

“That’s right, you’re right, we’re in the same boat. Although you’re just a container and can be replaced whenever you’re broken, I don’t want such an interesting container like you to die. I accept your offer, I can give you power, enough chakra to make Konoha tremble.”

“No, I need more than just chakra.” Naruto shook his head. “I want all sorts of information about Konoha, even… my origins, the Uzumaki clan.” Naruto’s eyes were deep and chilling.

Naruto has been searching for information about the Uzumaki clan all along.

From various books and unofficial histories, he learned that the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were renowned throughout the ninja world, and that they had even established a powerful family in the Land of Whirlpools.

However, it was destroyed before the Second Shinobi World War.

And how was he, a boy with the same surname Uzumaki, born in Konoha? And who was his mother or father?

Naruto secretly tried to find out if there were any Uzumaki clan members in Konoha, but the information he received was that he was the only surviving member of the Uzumaki clan.

The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques can seal tailed beasts, which leads to this speculation.

The Nine-Tails was sealed inside its body by its parents.

Upon hearing the question, Nine-Tails chuckled softly, a mischievous grin spreading across its face:

"Perhaps you don't need to hear my answer to this question in person."

Kurama clearly understood that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was kind and benevolent. Before sealing Naruto, he considered that Naruto was too young and might be misled by him, so he might have left a backup plan.

"Naruto, you can try to tear the seal; you might be pleasantly surprised." Kurama revealed a sinister smile.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Minato Namikaze

The Nine-Tails is sealed away, but it's not stupid.

After being sealed away, he had plenty of time to think.

The Fourth Hokage! The first Hokage in history to be born a commoner.

He succeeded to the position shortly after the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

Because he often wins battles by speed, his unparalleled Flying Thunder God Technique makes him difficult to catch, moving across the battlefield like a bolt of lightning.

He became famous in the ninja world with the title "Yellow Flash".

In the eyes of the third generation, he was a gentle and perfect grand-disciple who inherited the Will of Fire.

In Master Jiraiya's eyes, he was a genius disciple with superb ninjutsu and outstanding combat awareness.

He was praised by both villagers and even his enemies.

His smile was as bright and radiant as the sunshine.

He was the perfect Hokage, the perfect father.

However, it cannot be ignored that...

He was also a ninja.

A ninja who fought his way out of the battlefield, his hands stained with blood.

His gentleness and kindness were always reserved for his own people.

Kurama understood that the various forces within Konoha were intricately distributed, and that the Fourth Hokage must be shrewd and calculating to become Hokage.

For Konoha, they are both an enemy and a weapon to deter other ninja villages.

Sealing oneself inside an infant is not the style of the fourth generation.

He will definitely have many backup plans.

That's why Kurama (the Nine-Tails) made Naruto try to break the seal; at that time, the Fourth Hokage's backup plan would be exposed.

Kurama was very curious about what tricks the always gentle Fourth Hokage would use during the sealing process.

"Judging from your answer, my parents must be the ones who sealed you away." Hearing Kurama's reply, Naruto's suspicions were somewhat confirmed.

"That's right, you can try to break the seal. He must have a backup plan. Perhaps you can meet him." Nine-Tails said with a wicked smile.

But then Naruto suddenly chuckled:

"There aren't many members of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha, so sealing you would naturally require an extremely powerful sealing technique."

"The first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was the wife of the First Hokage, Mito Uzumaki. As the wife of the First Hokage, her sealing techniques must have been powerful. I don't know about the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; I can't find any relevant information, and no one has told me."

"But I noticed that the wife of the beloved Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was named Kushina Uzumaki." Naruto looked at Kurama's bewildered eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and continued to speak to himself:

“I’ve been wondering for a long time why there’s no one in Konoha with the surname Uzumaki. The only information I can find is about Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Mito.”

"The Uzumaki clan, which possessed a powerful sealing technique, was wiped out and its country was destroyed. Konoha took in the remaining members of the Uzumaki clan. But to this day, I am the only surviving member of the Uzumaki clan."

"The Fourth Hokage and his wife died in battle on the night of the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails was also suppressed there. No one knows whether the Nine-Tails was killed or sealed, but from that day on, Konoha had an infant who was regarded as the Nine-Tailed Fox."

At this point, a playful smile appeared on Naruto's lips.

"He inherited the surname Whirlpool."

"What's even more interesting is that he has blond hair, just like the Fourth Hokage, and the same sunny appearance." Naruto swept his bangs up slightly and took off his glasses.

At one point, his appearance overlapped with that of the fourth generation.

"Hiss." Kurama swallowed hard, his eyes filled with even more shock as he looked at Naruto, and a guess began to form in his mind.

No way.

This kid couldn't have figured all this out himself, could he?

impossible!

This kid is too smart!

Naruto put his glasses back on and said slowly and deliberately:

"After careful calculation, I was born in the year when the Nine-Tails went berserk."

“I have a face that is extremely similar to that of the fourth generation, and I share the same surname as the fourth generation’s wife, the Whirlpool. There are no such coincidences in the world. When many coincidences come together, they become the facts.”

"Rather than saying I've come to this conclusion now, it's more accurate to say I'm only now beginning to accept this fact."

"Six years ago, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Fourth Hokage died in battle, and at the same time, an infant was sealed with the Nine-Tails. If I'm not mistaken, before they died, they sealed you into my body, hoping that I would live on as the son of a hero and be respected by the villagers."

"But why did I become the Nine-Tailed Fox, despised by everyone?" Naruto still smiled, as if he were explaining something to a passerby.

But the calmer he was, the more uneasy Nine-Tails felt.

"Ahem, kid, don't talk with that smile, it's a bit creepy." Nine-Tails swallowed, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Konoha higher-ups have distorted the facts, making me the target of their malice so they can control me." Naruto's lips curled into a mocking smile as he turned to look at Kurama.

"The Will of Fire: old leaves turn into flames, inspiring and warming the younger generation. But now, new leaves become the life-sustaining grass for decaying and withered trees, and the whole tree serves only a few decaying leaves."

"The son of a hero has become a tool for politicians to manipulate people's hearts and minds, and has become a rat that everyone wants to beat."

"Do you think the usually gentle and kind Fourth Hokage will turn evil after learning this fact?"

Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment, then the shock in its eyes deepened.

Clearly, they hadn't anticipated that Naruto had already deduced the truth.

Throughout his long life, he had seen too many gifted people, but apart from a certain pervert who treated him like a baby, he really didn't take anyone seriously.

But at this moment, he actually felt admiration for Naruto.
