Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The two tailed beasts communicated in the deep inner space, and those who were not recognized by the tailed beasts could not know it. The whole ninja world did not know that the one-tailed Shukaku and the nine-tailed Kurama had just made a dirty deal. When Kurama's chakra was reduced to zero, the two tailed beasts also withdrew from the inner space. Kurama lay in the sealed space and grinned unconsciously: "Now we are waiting for the Chunin Exam to begin." Naruto is still talking to Kai now. Kai looks very sunny. Although his mind is not very clear, he can be said to be first-class and kind as an elder. Well, too kind. Naruto and Shikamaru were almost dragged by him to do frog jumps, the kind that they had to jump ten circles around Konoha.

Fortunately, although Naruto is not smart, he still has his reason. Otherwise, he would have been persuaded by Kai's passionate speech to do frog jumps, mainly because there was a more rational Shikamaru next to him.

Now all we have to do is wait for the Chunin Exam the next day.

In theory, everything is fine, but only in theory.

At night, Kurama felt a little funny watching Naruto tossing and turning in bed and unable to sleep. This kid was obviously not afraid of anything before at Ichiraku Ramen, but now he is lying in bed and getting nervous.

Naruto closed his eyes and tried to force himself to fall asleep, but the more he did this, the more he couldn't fall asleep.

Kurama looked at this scene and said, "Rather than being nervous, it's better to say... scared."

It's really funny. Naruto is actually scared? Kurama felt that he had seen a great view, but unfortunately he didn't have a camera to save it.

But then again, people who are usually carefree and fearless are actually more delicate in their hearts. Naruto is probably this kind of guy. Except for being slow to Hinata, this guy is almost a model of boldness and carefulness.

Then he saw Naruto roll off the bed.

A black line appeared on Kurama's forehead. Forget it, just pretend he didn't say anything just now.

He thought about it and still separated a small portion of chakra: "Hey, kid, come in."

Naruto, who was crying with his head covered, was stunned and subconsciously looked at his stomach: "Kuroma? What's wrong?"

As his words fell, his figure slowly emerged in the sealed space.

Kurama lay behind the cell door, looking at Naruto with a very arrogant look: "Kid, are you afraid? Tomorrow's battle?"

Naruto, who had just come in and didn't understand what was going on, jumped up instantly, his face flushed: "What are you talking about! How could I be afraid of that guy Neji! If there is anything to be afraid of, it should be that guy who is afraid of me!"

"I didn't say you are afraid of my uncle... Neji." Kurama almost couldn't control his mouth, "No, you are also honest."

Naruto's face was flushed, he wanted to refute Kurama's words, but... the fact is that he is afraid, but he is not afraid of losing to Neji, but afraid that he can't avenge Hinata.

Neji is very strong, and Lee who can defeat Sasuke said so. Lee said that among the three of them, Neji is the strongest, surpassing the strength of ordinary Genin, and Naruto also saw Lee's explosion. If he faced Lee, it can be said that he has no power to fight back.

Obviously, he has two powerful weapons, Kurama's chakra and summoning technique, but Naruto is still afraid.

This kind of mentality is actually very normal. Think back to your mood when facing the college entrance examination. Even if your grades are good, you will still be afraid.

Jiu Lama just watched Naruto's expression change from anger to unwillingness, and finally to loss, and even his eyes became a little weak.

Naruto looked at the reflection on the water, which showed his appearance: "I don't want to lose, but... can I really win? That Ningci."

Jiu Lama looked down at Naruto, and the reflection on the water reflected the figures of a man and a beast. One took the initiative to look at the reflection with a face full of loss, and the other took the initiative to look at the other through the reflection with a calm face.

"Do you want to fight? Do you want to win? Will you say you just want to become a Chunin?" Jiu Lama's expression suddenly became a little cold, just like the momentum that made people dare not move when Naruto first met him.

Naruto was stunned, and subconsciously looked up at Jiu Lama: "What?"

"Which one?" Jiu Lama stood up, and the powerful chakra boiled in the sealed space. If there was no restriction on the seal, Naruto might not be able to hold on for even a second.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto's eyes were full of stubbornness: "I want to win!"

Kuroma grinned, his smile was a little cruel: "If we don't win, there is no point in fighting.

If you lose, it's useless to become a Chunin, so you want to win...right. "

No one fights to lose, and no one will be chosen to be a Jonin because of an ugly loss. Whether you want to fight or become stronger, all you want is to win.

If you lose, fighting is meaningless, so you want to win.

"Yes." Naruto nodded firmly.

"Then why are you afraid?" Kurama grinned and asked, "The enemy is one, and you are also one person, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Retreat will only age, and cowardice will lead to death. "

This sentence is what Zangetsu said to Ichigo in the anime Bleach. It is a very simple sentence, and it seems nothing special. It is just because the environment we are in is different.

If you are in a dangerous place where you must fight, if you fail once you will die, if you cannot win you will be destroyed by all living things, then can you muster up the courage to fight? Fight for victory?

Most people on the earth can't do it, but in this world, this world composed of fighting between ninjas, this sentence applies to almost all ninjas with strong strength.

No ninja becomes stronger by retreating, and timid people cannot get the opportunity to become stronger. Naruto, Sasuke, and Kojima are all ninjas. Sakura, etc. None of the twelve little strong men in the anime grew up because of retreat and fear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, a generation of ninja, bowed to the foreign enemy for the so-called peace of the village. The moment he retreated, he was no longer a ninja, but a simple politician. He would think about gains and losses, rather than growing up by victory.

If he had not died on the battlefield, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have been just an ordinary old man.

Orochimaru, to some extent, gave his master the last dignity.

So it’s funny to think of this Kurama. Konoha was so proud in the past, with two ninjas who were the best in the ninja world. Kurama was called a natural disaster, but wasn’t he also caught by those two people like playing? Capture.

And now, Konoha doesn't even dare to face him. It's ridiculous that they want to rely on a little kid to check and balance him. If Naruto didn't impress Kurama in the original work, and when Naruto's chakra was completely absorbed by Kurama, the entire ninja world would fall into the rule of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Ridiculous politics.

He Sarutobi Hiruzen had long forgotten what a ninja was. He regarded himself as a leader, a ridiculous leader who relied on ignorance.

Those things in the original work happened too coincidentally. If there was a slight problem in any of the links, the whole story would collapse. Now he Kurama is no longer Kurama, and the script has changed. Why should he pin his hopes on a ridiculous leader?

Naruto's growth is still going on, but he will no longer be accompanied by Kurama.

As for Sasuke, Kurama has no good feelings towards this kid from the Uchiha clan, and if he has any, it is based on Sarada.

"Retreat will only lead to aging... Cowardice will lead to death..." Naruto repeated these two sentences with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had grasped something vaguely, but it seemed like just a breeze blowing and he couldn't let it go.

Kurama can understand it, after all, this kid is still young now. If it is him in the future, he should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

However, there is no rush. Naruto's growth started from Shippuden, and now it is his home field, Kurama.

"Okay, if you still have questions, think about the answer yourself." Kurama turned over, looking a little salted, "If you can't think of it, then go to the place where the dream began, there may be the answer you want. "

There is no answer to this matter itself. People who are used to retreating will still retreat no matter how much they are advised. People who live in fear can only live in the shadows for their whole lives. What Naruto needs is not chicken soup, but an answer.

Naruto exited the sealed space in a trance. He did not ask Kurama why he knew all this, but lay on the bed with a vague question.

Perhaps because there was something to think about in his mind, Naruto temporarily forgot his fear of falling asleep. As for whether he could understand it, it depends on himself.

Kuruma watched Naruto fall asleep with satisfaction, and closed his eyes, and the paint In the dark sealed space, only the paper sealing the cell door glowed slightly, and one could vaguely sense a chakra that did not belong to Naruto and Kurama throbbing.

…

After thinking all night, Naruto still did not understand what Kurama meant by that. He just felt that it fit, but he did not know why it fit.

In the morning, Naruto did not oversleep for the first time, but he was still a little confused when he woke up.

After washing up, he took his ninja bag and went to the venue for the third round of the Chunin Exam. It was the largest competition venue in Konoha, which could accommodate thousands of spectators. Even if they stood at the edge of Konoha, they would not be able to see the audience.

Yuan could see a corner of the competition venue, and there were seats specially prepared for the powerful above. The whole venue could be said to exist for the exhibition match.

Of course, this place would not be open when there was nothing to do.

Naruto walked out of the house and looked at the competition venue from a distance. He felt that he could hear the voices of the audience on the field, as if they hated him.

Naruto lowered his head and dared not look, with melancholy and hesitation on his face. He suddenly doubted whether he should be there, because there were not many people in the whole village who welcomed him except Kakashi and his teacher.

He raised his foot and walked forward. He should have been close to the venue, but Naruto felt that he was getting farther and farther away from there.

The morning light shone from the east, fell on Naruto through the gap between the house and the trees, and cast a long shadow behind him.

It was just vaguely that the shadow seemed to turn into the appearance of the Nine-Tails. He wiped his eyes, but found that it was just an illusion. Behind Naruto, there was only his shadow.
