Chapter 469 Naruto's Melancholy
Chapter 469 Naruto's Melancholy
"Huh? Why are these tailed beasts so small? They're all so cute compared to Kurama, even Hachiko has shrunk!"
Naruto gestured to show the size of the other tailed beasts and the Nine-Tails, finding it quite amazing.
"Because we are only a part of you, the amount of chakra determines our size. Of course, we can grow bigger, but there's no need."
Shukaku, seeing that Naruto recognized the Eight-Tails but not it, became somewhat dissatisfied and jumped out to give a forceful explanation.
"Oh yeah, the perverted sage seems to have said that tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra, and chakra is their body, and their body is chakra, so it's not strange that they're sealed inside..."
After listening to Shukaku's words, Naruto muttered to himself for a while before finally remembering the important matter.
"Everyone! Please join me in protecting the ninja world! Give me your bodies and chakra, I beg you!"
Naruto didn't know how to make the request, so he used what he considered the most formal way to ask, bluntly stating his request and then bowing at a 90-degree angle.
Body...?
This must have been a slip of the tongue by Naruto, right?
The tailed beasts all took a step back in unison.
"Ahem, of course we can lend you our power, but Naruto, you must also agree to one condition."
Seeing everyone retreat, Shukaku knew it was time for it to step in and save the day, so it did a forward roll and came to Naruto's side.
"Conditions? What conditions?"
"Naruto, I don't know if you've ever heard the story about the Sage of Six Paths' two sons."
"Uh, it seems that Brother Bai Mo told Sasuke that he is some kind of spinning top and I am some kind of Asura."
Naruto tried hard to recall.
"Yes, Indra and Ashura are the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths. The entanglement between the Uchiha and Senju clans, as well as the current turmoil in the ninja world, all stem from the falling out between these two brothers."
According to the old man of the Six Paths, Indra was so obsessed with power that he neglected the emotions between people and the power of others…
"I understand. Don't worry, Shukaku, I will never forget your kindness. I will definitely get closer to all of you tailed beasts and build good relationships with you! I will definitely invite you all to join me for anything enjoyable or fun in the future!"
Naruto interrupted Shukaku's story halfway through, and began to pat his chest and make a promise.
This promise terrified Shukaku and the other tailed beasts.
They still want to get closer, and they still want to share happiness.
No!
Faced with the angry glares from the other tailed beasts, Shukaku hurriedly interrupted, "Naruto, you've misunderstood! You've misunderstood!"
"Did you misunderstand?"
"Yes, what I mean is, we can lend you power, but you must keep your distance from us."
I fear that you may become too obsessed with and covetous of our power, causing you to psychologically gravitate towards Indra.
You can be close to Kurama (the Nine-Tails). We each have our own Jinchūriki. Your relationship with us must never exceed our relationship with our respective Jinchūriki.
"Once you surpass us, it means you've begun to covet the power of the other tailed beasts and want to take us for yourself."
Shukaku spat frantically, circling around in a huge arc before finally coming back to its original position.
"That seems to make some sense."
Naruto was a little confused, but then he thought that these tailed beasts were much easier to talk to than Kurama, since they agreed to his request to borrow their power so easily.
This is a good thing.
"Thank you everyone. I'll go out and report the good things that happened here to the lecherous immortal first. We can chat about it later~"
Naruto waved his hand, about to leave the spiritual space.
"etc!"
The Eight-Tails called out to Naruto.
"What's wrong, Ah Ba?"
Naruto stopped and turned back in confusion.
"You still need four and five tails to come into your body. Remember to have them put some of their tails in when you have time."
Eight-tailed Fox offered a reminder.
The other tailed beasts echoed their agreement.
To the tailed beasts present, they were partners who had already known the prophecy and made the plan.
As for the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, they weren't present, so there's nothing we can do.
Whether they can escape Naruto's clutches is up to them to decide.
Of course, in order for everyone to better resist fate and prophecy, the four-tailed and five-tailed fish can also be used as bait when necessary.
This is why the Eight-Tails was so eager to let the Four-Tails and Five-Tails in.
"Huh? Uh, okay, alright."
Naruto looked somewhat uncomfortable, but he still agreed and then disappeared, leaving the mental space.
"How are you, Naruto? Did you get kicked out by a tailed beast?"
When Jiraiya saw Naruto emerge so quickly, he immediately assumed that Naruto had failed.
"No, the tailed beasts are very easy to talk to, and they all agreed to lend me their power."
Naruto shook his head.
"What?"
Jiraiya felt like there was something wrong with his ears.
Tailed beasts? Easy to talk to?
Can these characters be combined together?
Even if Naruto gains Kurama's approval, it doesn't mean that others can gain Kurama's approval, nor does it mean that Kurama is easy to talk to.
Similarly, the tailed beasts that were stuffed into Naruto's body follow the same principle.
Why are they so friendly to Naruto? Did Naruto give them something?
Jiraiya harbored the deepest malice towards the Tailed Beasts.
"Perverted Sage, the Tailed Beasts say I'm missing the Fourth and Fifth Tailed Beasts inside me, and they want me to find an opportunity to stuff them in as well so I can have the power of all nine Tailed Beasts."
Naruto continued speaking with a worried expression.
"The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails? They're both tailed beasts from Iwagakure... Naruto, don't worry. I just saw the Four-Tails a while ago. As for the Five-Tails, we can ask someone to help us contact it."
Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder to comfort him.
"No, you perverted sage, that's not what I'm worried about. I'm thinking about how to insert the power of the tailed beasts into it."
When I was under the genjutsu, Sasuke shouldn't have been able to break the seal on my stomach, right?
Even if he unties it, wouldn't that allow the Nine Lamas to come out?
But I didn't receive any help from Kurama from beginning to end, which means he didn't seal the power of the other tailed beasts in this way.
And... when I woke up, I felt some pain in certain parts of my body.
Naruto's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.
Naruto simply lacks knowledge and is unwilling to learn, but his intelligence is not a problem.
The current situation is that all the wrong answers have been discarded, so even the most outrageous remaining answer is still true.
Naruto had seen Orochimaru's techniques, such as snakes spitting at him and him spitting out swords.
Orochimaru may not have lost his hands, but that doesn't stop him from using these things.
Therefore, Naruto now seriously suspects that these tailed beasts were either stuffed into his mouth, or...
It's one thing if he's under an illusion.
It's equivalent to being given anesthesia.
Moreover, out of sight, out of mind.
Just pretend it never happened, and forget about it without a care in the world.
But now that they're no longer in an illusion, I have to personally bring the Four-Tails and Five-Tails in...
