"It never worked before."

Naruto Uzumaki laughed and said, "Uncle Nebula helped me."

"Mr. Mizuki, I have to go now, or I won't be able to get a seat at the ramen shop later."

With that, Naruto deactivated his transformation jutsu and ran off like the wind, leaving Mizuki standing there dumbfounded.

"Shingetsu Nebula," Mizuki murmured the name.

A tall, handsome, and perfect image appeared in my mind.

He's taller than him.

He's better than him.

He's more handsome than him.

And every aspect of him is something that makes him far superior to him.

Shui Mu clenched his teeth, making a gurgling sound.

A mixture of resentment and jealousy throbbed within him.

"Damn it~"

"If I'm not having a good time, none of you should expect to be either!"

"And this fox spirit... if we tie it up and take it to the gold exchange, we should be able to get a good price for it."

……

"So... really... we can't let Naruto master... master the Nine-Tails' power ahead of time?"

I think...it's fine~

At Shingetsu Seiun's house, Uzumaki Kushina tries to persuade Shingetsu Seiun to agree with her point of view.

Shenyue Xingyun frowned.

"Isn't it... a little too early...?"

"If we let Kurama come into contact with Naruto too early, I'm afraid Naruto will be affected."

"And...and the Nine-Tails isn't exactly an honest fellow either."

Kushina Uzumaki: "It's a bit early, but I believe in you... I believe you definitely have a way."

Shenyue Xingyun remained silent, seemingly hesitant.

Seeing this, Kushina Uzumaki pressed her advantage: "Please...please~"

Shenyue Xingyun's brows furrowed even more.

……

That night.

Naruto skipped home and found that Shingetsu Nebula was already waiting for him at the door.

"Uncle Nebula!" Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here so late?"

Shen Yuexingyun's eyes showed a hint of weariness.

He roused himself and said, "I came to see you."

"While you're at it, check on your tenant."

"Come with me."

As Shen Yue Xingyun spoke, she led Naruto Uzumaki to the valley from last time.

Without a word, he raised his hand and placed it on Naruto's abdomen, his chakra surging and turbulent.

In the world of Bagua Seal.

Inside the dark cage, the enormous nine-tailed fox was bound to the ground in a very confined position.

The Vajra chains binding his body were now somewhat loose.

Because of the unassuming pink ropes, which bore the main force, it was pressed down in place and could not even lift its head or open its mouth.

At one moment, a red light shone inside the cage; it was the Nine-Tails opening its eyes.

But now, the previous tyranny and ferocity were gone from his eyes.

Rather, it was hostility mixed with fear and anticipation.

Chapter 499 The True Colors Are Revealed: Kushina

Looking at the humanoid figure that had materialized on the other side of the cage, Kurama's eyes lit up with excitement.

It wanted to speak, but couldn't open its mouth.

Fortunately, Shenyue Xingyun was quite considerate; with a wave of her hand, she loosened the rope binding its mouth.

Feeling the pressure from the pink ropes on its body lessen, Nine-Tails spoke.

"You...you've finally arrived."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Hmm."

"I've been a bit busy lately, and I was thinking of coming back in a few months."

Upon hearing this, the last trace of reserve in the Nine-Tails' eyes vanished instantly.

It originally wanted to build up its momentum and preserve its dignity as a tailed beast, but upon hearing Shenyue Xingyun's words, it was immediately jolted awake.

Several months?

It's only been a few days, and it's already losing patience. If it were months, how cruel would that be!?

Shenyue Xingyun: "I happened to have some time today, so I came to take a look."

"Nine Lama, what's your decision?"

"Should we choose the second or the third?"

Nine-Tails paused for a moment.

Shenyue Xingyun: "If you haven't made up your mind, think about it some more. I can come back next time I have time."

As Shingetsu Nebula spoke, the chakra he was gathering began to weaken, as if his figure would disappear from the spot in the next moment.

Upon seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox's vertical pupils immediately contracted.

"Keep it a secret!"

"Wait, I've made up my mind!"

"I choose the third one!"

The second option is asking for trouble; it would have to stay tied up forever, and it would never choose that.

Now, only the third option remains: to be arrogant at first and then obsequious.

It was somewhat shameful, but there was no other choice.

Shenyue Xingyun: "That's right."

"Those who understand the times are wise."

"It's not too late to realize it now."

Nine-Tailed Fox said, "...Hmm."

"So what are the benefits if I choose to cooperate now?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "No benefit."

"When we had the first option, we threw a tantrum. Now we only have two left."

"There are naturally no benefits."

Nine-Tailed Fox is furious!

Its menacing vertical pupils emanated an ominous aura as it glared at Shenyue Xingyun, its tone somewhat aggressive.

"Can't we... discuss this?"

"What, you're not convinced?" Shenyue Xingyun said with a light laugh.

With his laughter, the Azure Rope Tightening inside the cage tightened instantly!

The immense suppressive force caused the Nine-Tails' eyes to bulge out instantly, its vertical pupils appearing as if they were about to be squeezed out. However, under the influence of this suppressive force, it couldn't even utter a cry.

The Nine-Tails was terrified!

It doesn't understand!

Why does this seemingly ordinary human possess such immense power?

It has never seen such a level of sealing technique since it was born.

Could this kid be someone like Hashirama Senju... or even the Sage of Six Paths?

It doesn't know.

But it knew it had met its match.

So, it endured the almost bursting pressure and tried its best to make its gaze as friendly as possible.

Perhaps sensing its sincerity, Shenyue Xingyun waved.

The powerful suppressive force on his body dissipated instantly.

Shenyue Xingyun spoke again: "From today onwards, you will stay here quietly."

"If Naruto needs it, lend him some of your power."

"He's a good kid. If you get along well with him, there will only be benefits, not harm."

Nine-Tails spoke up: "What has this foolish boy done to deserve this..."

"Hmm?" Shen Yue Xingyun's eyes sharpened.

Nine-Tailed Fox paused, then lowered her head sheepishly after a moment.
