Chapter 5: Landlord and Tenant
Naruto randomly found a place outside the cage to sit down, and looked at the big fox opposite.
After being teased by himself, the majestic Nine Tails turned around with an unhappy expression, which didn't fit his impression.
The negative emotions that were stirred up by Nine Tails before have also stabilized a lot.
Humans are social animals after all, and loneliness is more unbearable than the malice of others.
Looking at the beautiful big tail, Naruto was thinking about how to leave the sealed space, while searching for the memories related to the Nine Tails in his mind.
Nine-Tails is not an ordinary Tailed Beast, it is the Tailed Beast with the most Chakras and is the strongest among the Nine Tailed Beasts.
It is able to perceive the malice of the enemy, and has similar abilities to his own favorability system.
In the wild state, Nine Tails is already close to Kage level in strength.
He is also a super support. After connecting with Jinchuriki, he can turn on the Nine-Tails mode for Jinchuriki, and the Jinchuriki's strength surpasses Hokage in that state.
Even when it comes to Baryon Mode, Nine Tails can burn himself, allowing Jinhuriki to temporarily have the same power as an Otsutsuki.
It can be said that the Naruto in the original book may be able to be as strong as the fourth Hokage even if he did not have the strength of the Nine Tails but he would definitely have no possibility of reaching the peak.
And if he wants to live freely in the ninja world in the future, he'll need the help of Nine Tails.
While thinking like this, Naruto suddenly felt a suction force, frowned subconsciously, and then left the sealed space uncontrollably.
It turns out that entering the sealed space requires mental energy, and one cannot stay there for too long.
Sensing Naruto's departure, Nine Tails turned around and looked at the place where Naruto disappeared, thoughtfully.
Although this Jinchuriki is just a kid, he is different from Mito and Kushina.
Although Naruto exudes a lot of malice, he only has malice against himself but very little.
He obviously didn't tell him the truth of that night, and he was still the chief culprit of his suffering so far.
So, does this kid have a natural liking for tailed beasts, or are tge human beings in the outside world more malicious than himself?
After a soft snort, Nine-Tails lay on the ground and continued to rest its eyes with its eyes closed.
It had been imprisoned for decades, looking forward to seeing changes. Maybe Naruto would interest it.
...
In the outside world, after his consciousness returned to reality, Naruto stretched his waist and began to tidy up the room.
Recalling the first time he met Nine Tails, Naruto had a vague smile on his face.
After being able to communicate with Nine Tails, he also had an extra channel to relieve boredom.
For the next month, apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, Naruto went to the sealed space to find Nine Tails after recharging his energy.
Nine Tails was cold and silent at the beginning, but gradually became a little impatient.
Looking at the little ghost in front of him, who was not as big as his fingernail, he couldn't help but say, "Smelly kid, don't you have anything else to do?You always come to me every day when you have nothing to do."
Naruto looked indifferent? "Isn't it my job as a jailer to prevent prisoners from escaping? I have to keep an eye on you and prevent you from escaping from prison."
Nine Tails rubbed his paws, "Kid, do you remember what you said before that you and I are the landlord and the tenant?"
"That was my previous thought. Then I thought about it again. You can't afford the rent, so we can simply return to the relationship between the jailer and the prisoner. Anyway, I have nothing else to do."
As if realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Naruto quickly covered his mouth.
Nine Tails rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, you haven't gone out for a month. It was the group of ninjas outside who locked you up. This is the fate of being my container."
Naruto glanced at Nine Tails, put his hands on his hips and said,
"I am grounded temporarily, but who knows when you can get out of my body. Compared to you, I am more free. I still have books sent by third Hokage."
"Is it?"
Nine Tails questioned, and looked at Naruto maliciously.
Naruto spoke in silence, and was about to refute him, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, and got up from the sofa quickly.
When he opened the door, he saw the familiar Third Hokage again.
This time, he didn't wear the Hokage robe, but changed into casual clothes, which looked more friendly.
The Third Hokage asked with a smile, "Little Naruto, how are you doing recently?"
"Grandpa third Hokage, now I don't have to worry about eating and dressing, and I am not treated as a monster because I don't go out casually. I can also learn about the world through books. It's already a very good time."
"If possible, I hope I can always live like this in the future."
From a child's point of view, Naruto's answer didn't have any faults, but this is not the answer the Third Hokage wants.
A jinchuriki must go through experience to grow, instead of staying at home all the time.
In the future, the village will also need the important combat power of jinchuriki.
After pondering for a while, the Third Hokage said, "Naruto, although life at home is good, you should always look at the outside world. You should go outside often."
"I will be regarded as a monster by those adults. I am not afraid that they will treat me as a monster, but if it will cause trouble for the Grandpa Third Hokage, let's forget it."
Naruto showed a bad attitude.
The Third Hokage frowned, "I have issued an order in the village not to allow them to spread rumors that you are a demon fox. You will not be treated as a demon fox."
Naruto said nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll listen to the grandpa Third Hokage, but if they scold me in person again, I will make them pay."
The Third Hokage was happy on the surface, but he was a little worried in his heart.
After leaving this month's living expenses, he left.
After the third Hokage left, Naruto had just put the living expenses in his pocket when Nine-Tails' voice rang out, "Little kid, you usually talk trash about Third Hokage, but now that you see the Third Hokage, how can you talk to grandpa with such a sweet mouth?"
"Grandpa Nine Tails!"
Saying that, Nine Tails imitated Naruto's tone, and called grandpa a few times, but replaced the Third Hokage with himself.
Naruto looked at Nine Tails, his face was a little ugly, and then he said, "People have to bow their heads under certain circumstances, if you had learned this, you wouldn't be sealed in my body and have become my tenant."
Nine Tails suddenly lost his voice, and curled up in the corner of the cage again to shut himself up.
Because of the seal, it can't physically teach Naruto, but negative emotions don't work, and it can't win against a quarrel with Naruto.
Every time, Naruto could accurately grasp its weak point, but it was powerless to fight back, it could only be powerless and furious.
Seeing the scene of Nine Tails shutting himself up, Naruto smiled happily, and had some expectations for the future in his heart.
