Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

As the strongest tailed beast, half of its body is being posed for a photo by a human child!

Most importantly, this human cub was actually making demands, asking to be more fierce or more cute!

What a disgrace!

Streams of chakra overflowed from Naruto's body, and crimson chakra gradually appeared, but it did not harm Naruto's body surface.

Hearing the roar of the Nine-Tails inside him, Naruto, having guessed the cause and effect, scratched his head and replied to Shikamaru, "No need to tell my dad, the Nine-Tails is just angry with itself, it should be fine."

As Naruto spoke, his pupils suddenly turned into vertical slits.

Seeing this, Shikamaru swallowed hard: "Naruto...you...your eyes."

Sasuke, who was standing nearby, immediately asked, "Are you still conscious?"

Naruto paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "I'm perfectly clear-headed! Don't worry, the Nine-Tails is my boss, it won't hurt me."

At this moment, the crimson chakra overflowing from Naruto's body gradually condensed into a form.

It then formed a small fox head, condensed from the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Although the seal left a small opening, making it impossible for me to communicate with this idiot remotely, this is the only way."

The sudden sound startled Naruto, but he immediately turned to look at his shoulder and asked in surprise, "Boss Fox! You're able to come out?"

"Humph!"

The arrogant Nine-Tails snorted coldly and then said, "This is just my chakra condensation. Although your body is the same as Kushina's and you inherited the special physique of the Uzumaki clan, you are not yet able to withstand my chakra."

Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Choji bowed slightly and said, "Lord Kurama."

The Nine-Tails looked at the three of them: "Your Nine-Tails Lord is that idiot, not me!"

At this moment, the Nine-Tails' dark chakra seemed to waver slightly.

Meanwhile, in the queue, a middle-aged woman leading her child suddenly went berserk!

"Can't you hurry up and take a picture? Why are you dawdling like that? Are you just going to play around inside?"

"Damn it! Who are you calling dawdling?"

"How dare you swear at me? Where's the security detail?"

"Shrew!"

"I beat you to death……"

In an instant, things fell into chaos.

The middle-aged woman in the front row held a child's hand in one hand and reached out with the other to grab the man in front of her.

However, the other party easily dodged, but this side still persisted relentlessly.

On the other side, an equally inexplicable argument also began.

As a result, Naruto, who was unaffected, went straight to the front.

After Naruto went into the photo studio, Sasuke and Shikamaru outside exchanged a glance and both noticed something was wrong.

"What a pointless argument...troublesome."

Sasuke nodded: "It wasn't just an argument; just now, my emotions also seemed to have a darker side."

After a moment of thought, Shikamaru said in a low voice, "It must be affected by the chakra overflowing from Naruto's body. The Nine-Tails, known as the Calamity, has chakra filled with negative emotions."

Shikamaru then turned to Choji and said, "Lord Yun should be at the Seventh Training Ground, Choji. I need you to go there and bring Lord Yun over."

Sasuke was taken aback by these words, then asked doubtfully, "Brother Yun? But given the current situation, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Shikamaru shook his head slightly: "The power that can cause negative states in people is something that Naruto has very little control over, while the Sharingan is just right to counter the tailed beasts."

This explanation made Choji understand, and he immediately ate the last potato chip in his pocket before rushing towards the Hokage Building.

At this moment, Erzhuzi silently took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and gripped it tightly. There was also an explosive tag attached to the back of the kunai.

This scene made Shikamaru's eyes twitch, and he said, "If we stay here, we can only wait and see. Neither kunai nor explosive tags will have any effect on the tailed beasts."

Shikamaru then looked at Sasuke and said, "Of course, if it's a Sharingan with three tomoe, then we can try using genjutsu."

Sasuke gripped the kunai in his hand tightly without replying, his eyes fixed on the photo studio.

If anything happens, he will rush in without hesitation.

Meanwhile...

Inside the photo studio, Naruto, who had just entered, was facing the Nine-Tails, with a fox made of crimson chakra on his shoulder.

The little nine-tailed fox was clearly confused at this moment. How did its true form appear?

After a moment, the little nine-tailed fox spoke up: "I was worried you'd died since there's been no news of you all this time!"

On Naruto's shoulder, Kurama roared furiously, "I'll be fine even if you die! Can't you tell who the real Kurama is?!"

The Nine-Tails stretched out a claw and picked at its ear: "Don't be so loud. They all have about the same amount of chakra. It's really hard to say which one is the real body right now..."

In her rant, Nine-Tails snapped, "You bastard!! Look at what you're doing! Is this what you've become since you separated from me?"

The little nine-tailed fox, annoyed by the scolding, immediately retorted, "What am I doing? Making money! Do you think I'm like you, eating and living for free?"

As it spoke, the Nine-Tails glanced at the other's form, which was formed from crimson chakra and exuded a dark emotion.

"Envious?"

A simple rhetorical question caused the Nine-Tails on Naruto's shoulder to pause.

Envy?

perhaps……

The nine tailed beasts were originally created by the Sage of Six Paths with the intention of helping humanity.

But over thousands of years, human use of these weapons, and their use in the event of disasters, has tainted the environment with too many dark emotions.

The nine tails that carried these qualities became the legendary nine-tailed fox demon.

And now...

Within half of my body, the negative emotions seemed to have truly been purified...

"asshole……"

After gritting its teeth and cursing, Kurama said in a low voice, "Do you think you still have the dignity of a tailed beast to allow humans to humiliate you like this?"

At that moment, Shukaku suddenly jumped up and came over to them.

The raccoon looked around and then said to the little nine-tailed fox, "You stinky fox, it looks like your other half is going to stop our money-making scheme!"

"Should we all go at it together and teach it a lesson with those two big peacocks?"

The Nine-Tails glanced at Shukaku, then took a step back and extended one claw to indicate, "Alright. You go first, I'll cover you."

Uh!

In an instant, Shukaku fell silent. It was only a part of Shukaku's true form. The two in front of it were the Nine-Tails that had been divided into equal parts!

What can we use to fight? Our heads?

It seems the plan failed; the cunning fox won't take the bait...

"We are capable of sensing malice; I don't believe you can't see that right now."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox's voice rang out, and then her gaze swept over the children queuing outside the shop, as well as the busy shop manager and staff.

“They meant no harm. Although perhaps two of the unlucky kids wanted to pluck a couple of hairs as a souvenir, it wasn’t malicious.”

"Even the shop owner, although he takes a portion of the profits, this was agreed upon from the beginning."

"call……"

After sighing, the little nine-tailed fox looked at its own half and said, "Although the negative emotions in your body seem to have subsided somewhat, your current anger is probably more due to jealousy, isn't it?"

"Because in your heart, there is still only one old man who can gain your approval. But the old man has been gone for countless years, and you have not met another human being with whom you can understand each other."

"You have no freedom and are still sealed away. You used to be able to sense me and receive some release, but now... the strengthening of the seal seems to have made you even more jealous."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto surged once more.

The nine-tailed fox that had coalesced was now even more enraged: "Freedom? Is being posed for photos like a dog being held by human cubs free? Is shrinking your size and catering to human preferences free?"

"You're useless! If I weren't stuck here, I would have smacked you to death with both paws!"

The Nine-Tails chuckled softly: "Hehe... Yun is right sometimes. The Nine-Tails' personality is nothing but tsundere."

The indifferent attitude enraged the Nine-Tails.

However, the next sentence from the Nine-Tails caused it to suppress some of its chakra.

"This is Konoha's commercial district. If this chakra burst continues, your Jinchūriki won't be able to withstand it."

"If innocent people are injured or killed, I estimate that you will be directly shattered by Yun's two big swords, and then wait to be resurrected."

At this moment, Naruto, who had been listening silently, spoke up.

"Boss Fox".

"Ok?"

Naruto scratched his head: "Although I enjoy chatting with Boss Fox every day, I just realized that Boss Fox also needs freedom."

"Being confined inside my body like this every day, in such a cramped space, must be very uncomfortable for Boss Fox, right?"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Nine-Tails said nothing.

But Naruto seemed to understand Kurama's feelings. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Even if I ask my dad for the sealing key now, he probably won't give it to me. But once I get the key, I'll release you, Kurama."

???

Kurama paused, then turned a sinister chakra gaze to Naruto: "Do you know what you're saying? As a Jinchūriki, if you break the seal and let me leave, you'll die!"

Naruto shook his head slightly: "No. Has Brother Yun forgotten Fox Lord's ability? Even if the Jinchuriki loses his Tailed Beast, he will be fine."

Seriously?

Within the sealed land, the Nine-Tails' gaze narrowed slightly.

The next second, the crimson chakra that permeated Naruto's body disappeared.
