Chapter 7 : Damn, Who's this Handsome Guy

The Day Uzumaki Kushina Became the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki

When the Nine-Tails' chakra first entered Uzumaki Kushina's body, the pain was unbearable.

But then, she felt something unexpected—her body suddenly felt much lighter.

She could clearly sense the Nine-Tails' chakra flowing into her without much resistance.

Logically speaking, a tailed beast should resist with all its might when being sealed inside a Jinchūriki, especially the Nine-Tails, who despised humans. Yet, Kushina felt that the beast entered her body smoothly, as if it had no intention of struggling.

At that moment, the sweat that had formed on Kushina's body was instantly evaporated by the overwhelming heat of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Mito-sama, this big fox seems… very obedient. It didn't even struggle!" Kushina exclaimed in surprise.

As the sealer, Uzumaki Mito was equally stunned.

She knew firsthand how violent the Nine-Tails could be. When she had sealed the beast within herself, it had fought back with all its strength. If not for her husband, Senju Hashirama, subduing it with his Wood Release, sealing the Nine-Tails would have been nearly impossible.

But now, this time was completely different. The Nine-Tails didn't fight. It didn't resist. It simply let the sealing process take its course.

How strange.

Why was the Nine-Tails so quiet? Had it suddenly achieved enlightenment?

Or… did it know that resisting was useless?

Konoha had prepared thoroughly for this, ensuring there was no room for the Nine-Tails to break free. If the beast struggled, it would only prolong the process and cause unnecessary pain.

Uzumaki Mito could only explain it this way.

Still, it was a fortunate turn of events. The less resistance from the Nine-Tails, the less suffering Kushina had to endure.

Time passed slowly.

The ceremony, which had started at noon, extended until evening.

Due to Uzumaki Mito's age and the immense power of the Nine-Tails, the sealing process took a long time. It was not something that could be rushed.

Finally, the last traces of the Nine-Tails' chakra entered Kushina's body, and the sealing was complete.

A complex Eight Sign Seal appeared on her abdomen, with black magatama markings surrounding it.

At the same time, Uzumaki Mito, now without the tailed beast's power, collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

Kushina, however, felt a surge of immense and limitless energy coursing through her body.

She felt… stronger than ever.

Getting up from the stone bed, she quickly dressed herself before helping Mito to sit upright.

"Mito-sama, are you alright?" Kushina asked, her voice filled with concern.

Mito exhaled slowly. Even breathing felt difficult now.

"Kushina, you are now the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki," she said, her voice weak but firm. "Remember, this is a secret. Do not tell anyone."

Kushina nodded immediately. "Yes, Mito-sama. I understand."

Mito sighed. She knew that after losing the Nine-Tails, she didn't have much time left.

Even though she was of the Uzumaki clan, known for their extraordinary longevity, her body was rapidly declining.

She would not see another sunrise.

With great effort, she sat down on a stone chair, with Kushina at her side.

"Kushina, from now on, Konoha will be your second home. You can live like a normal girl, go to the academy, and one day, become a great ninja. I will not live to see the day you achieve your dreams, but I believe in you. I know you will become Hokage."

Kushina's heart clenched.

Even at the end of her life, Mito was still thinking about the village.

The truth was, the destruction of Uzushiogakure—the home of the Uzumaki clan—was not entirely unrelated to Konoha.

Even someone as powerful as Uzumaki Mito had to bow to the village's decisions.

Hearing Mito's final words of guidance, Kushina couldn't hold back her tears.

"Mito-sama… I will always remember your teachings!" she sobbed.

The two of them talked for a while longer, treasuring their final moments together.

Then, Biwako Sarutobi, the wife of the Third Hokage, entered the chamber.

She had come to fulfill Mito's last wishes.

"Biwako, the Nine-Tails' transfer is complete," Mito said weakly. "You and Hiruzen must take good care of Kushina."

"Mito-sama, the Third Hokage and I will do our best for the village," Biwako assured her.

Mito turned to look at Kushina one last time, her vision blurring.

She murmured in her heart: I have no regrets in this life…

With that final thought, Uzumaki Mito closed her eyes forever.

"Mito-sama!"

"Mito-sama!"

Kushina and Biwako both cried out, but the legendary kunoichi was gone.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully entering Uzumaki Kushina's body!]

[Acquired human form!]

[Reward: Supreme Learning Talent]

Suddenly, the massive form of the Nine-Tails inside Kushina's subconscious began to shrink.

A moment later, it had transformed into a human.

Nine-tails—or rather, Kurama—looked down at his hands and feet, feeling as if he had been reborn.

His hair was the same shade as his fur—fiery orange-red.

Glancing at his reflection in the water of Kushina's mindscape, he saw a strikingly handsome face staring back at him.

At this moment, a thought popped into his head:

"Damn… who is this beautiful guy?"

[Kurama Human Form Pic (MC)-->]

It was a surreal experience.

Who would have thought that the most feared tailed beast in the world was actually this good-looking?

Powerful and attractive—this was exactly the outcome he wanted.

Of course, despite his transformation, the Eight Sign Seal that had been placed on him remained intact.

But Kurama wasn't worried. He had plenty of ways to weaken it over time. There was no need to rush.

More importantly, he had now entered a safe vessel.

Had Mito died before transferring him, he would have disappeared along with her, forced to wait years before regenerating. That would have been an unnecessary setback.

Compared to Mito's aging body, Kushina's was strong, youthful, and brimming with vitality.

Kurama smirked to himself.

He knew Kushina well. If he played his cards right, he wouldn't even need to break the seal himself.

A few well-placed words, and Kushina would open the sealed gate on her own.

He was looking forward to that day.
