CHAPTER 4: Nine Tails Fox
Naruto asked the System out of curiosity getting the better of him
500
NARUTO QUESTIONED:
"System, what's this 'System Loyalty Points' you mentioned?
How does it help me?"
[ SYSTEM EXPLAINED: (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
"Loyalty Points measure our bond, Naruto. As points increase,
I'll share more abilities, secrets, and trust you with critical missions.
Currently, you have 10 points - a good start!" ]
Naruto nodded, then decided to test his new skills
HE HEADED TO THE RIVER FOR FISHING AND BACK TO HIS APARTMENT FOR COOKING
To his surprise, fishing yielded several big catches, and cooking resulted in delicious meals
NARUTO DELIGHTEDLY ATE HIS FIRST SELF-PREPARED MEAL
feeling proud and happy for the first time in years!
Just then, the System manifested physically - a glowing blue entity
[ SYSTEM PATTED NARUTO'S CHEST: ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
"Well done, Naruto. Loyalty Points earned through your growth... I'm pleased to see you thriving." ]
Naruto sneered instinctively and still wary of kindness
[ SYSTEM IGNORED HIS SNEER AND SAID:(˶˃⤙˂˶)
"New task: 'Nine-Tails Alliance' - increase friendship with the beast within.
Enter the seal space and begin bonding." ]
Naruto entered the seal space adopting a foolish, innocent tone
HE CALLED OUT:
"Kurama-chan!
CHAPTER 8 PREQUEL TO PREVIOUS SCENE...
Naruto's curiosity got the better of him - he stumbled upon a hidden thought
"What lies within the seal that holds Nine-Tails?"
His mind guided him to a strange, glowing portal within his subconscious
THE SEAL SPACE - A DIMLY LIT REALM WITH CHAIN BINDS EVERYWHERE
And then, he saw Kurama, the Nine-Tails beast
KURAMA'S EYES BLAZED WITH INTENSITY - GLARING AT NARUTO
Naruto felt fear spark, but curiosity dominated ,he took a step forward
KURAMA'S VOICE LIKE THUNDER:
"LEAVE NOW, CONTAINER... DO NOT DISTURB MY SLEEP!"
Kurama's body began to twist - tails thrashing wildly attempting to intimidate Naruto into retreat
NARUTO SWALLOWED HARD, YET REMAINED STILL HIS EYES FIXED ON KURAMA
Then, Naruto surprised himself - he took another step closer
KURAMA'S GLARE INTENSIFIED "YOU DARE APPROACH ME?"
Naruto's heart raced, but he stood ground - curiosity evolving into fascination -
(This moment led to their continuous conversation...)
Naruto continued talking nonstop to Kurama
NARUTO CHATTERED ON:
"Kurama, oh man... I've had the worst life ever!
Sealed away like you, hated by villagers...
I once ate only rotten food from trash cans - till I learned cooking yesterday!"
Kurama remained silent, but Naruto sensed faint attention -
NARUTO CONTINUED EMPATHIZING:
"I know how you feel - trapped, alone...
My own parents sacrificed themselves to seal you inside me...
Do you miss freedom, Kurama-? I would..."
Kurama's gaze subtly shifted - Naruto felt surprise spark within those eyes -
NARUTO OFFERED COMFORT:
"Hey, it's not your fault - being sealed.
Villagers fear what they don't understand...
I'm stuck with them hating me too - maybe we're alike, Kurama?"
Slowly, Kurama's intense glare softened - ever so slightly -
[SYSTEM TASK UPDATE (HIDDEN FROM KURAMA):
ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
"Task 'Nine-Tails Alliance' COMPLETE! ]
KURAMA'S PERSPECTIVE REVEALED...
Kurama's intense gaze narrowed - thoughts racing behind blazing eyes -
HE THINKS:
"This container... Naruto... differs from expectations.
Most hosts cower or beg - yet he stands before me, curious...
Almost... fearless."
Kurama recalled past hosts - all consumed by fear or ambition -
HIS MIND FLASHED BACK:
"- The Sage of Six Paths' brother, consumed by darkness...
- Other hosts, driven mad by my power or destroyed by their own greed..."
But Naruto...
KURAMA ASSESSED:
"This boy's emotions swirl - fear, curiosity, determination...
No overwhelming darkness or ambition.
A intriguing anomaly - worth observing... perhaps even exploiting."
Kurama's glare softened ever so slightly - still cautious, yet intrigued -
HE DECIDED:
"I will not attack... yet. Observe Naruto's intentions -
maybe this container can be used to break my seal... or perhaps something more."
