It's Her

In the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails lay sprawled on the ground.

Its pair of red, vertical pupils stared blankly ahead, reflecting nothing.

Its attention wasn't focused on this space, but on the small figure sweating profusely in the snowy field.

He had spent hundreds of days and nights like this.

Without anyone urging him, he still didn't slack off in the slightest, training day after day.

Because of this, he had gradually transformed from a kid who knew nothing into a ninja with some skill.

To the Nine Tails, this kid was still weak, but he possessed a will that even moved it.

It couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting.

At that time, it had tried its best to tempt Naruto, but was defeated by his will.

From that day on, the Nine Tails was certain that Naruto would become a strong person in the future.

Also from that day, the Nine Tails was, for the first time, treated as an equal by a human, instead of being regarded as an inferior beast.

Although, he was just a kid.

Over the past year, that kid, knowing it was bored, had taken the time to watch TV with it every day, and occasionally even argued with it about the plots of the shows they watched, all of which were experiences the Nine Tails had never had before.

Although, this kid's starting point was just to keep it from interfering with his Chakra.

But this still warmed the Nine Tails's heart.

Because, if he simply wanted to achieve this goal, Naruto could definitely find a more direct and effective method.

For example, asking the annoying Konoha ninjas for help.

For Naruto, the Nine Tails was the only existence by his side with whom he could communicate.

But for the Nine Tails, wasn't Naruto the only human who had been willing to communicate with it for so many years?

"Perhaps, I should have agreed to this kid's request from the beginning."

Many times, watching Naruto fight against its Chakra, and then carefully perform ninjutsu, the Nine Tails couldn't help but think this way.

But it was entangled in its heart, and ultimately couldn't let go of its pride.

"The day when humans and tailed beasts can freely and equally communicate and play may really come, just like you said, a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy, maybe it's this kid in front of me."

"He is very likely, the Child of Prophecy."

And today, the Nine Tails finally found a reason to convince itself: "If he is the Child of Prophecy, then going on like this, this kid will be able to completely overcome my Chakra's influence on his own anyway.

If I continue, it's just a waste of effort, might as well shake hands and make peace from the beginning.

Yes, that's right, it's not because the TV shows are too good that I'm giving in! Nor is it because I approve of this human kid!"

Thinking this way, the Nine Tails restrained its Chakra, confining it to the Sealing Space.

This way, Naruto would no longer be affected when performing ninjutsu in the future.

The Chakra in his body would no longer have to be divided into a large part to suppress its Chakra and strengthen the seal.

That way, his path as a ninja would be smoother.

As the Nine Tails expected, he had barely concealed his Chakra when the little brat entered the Sealing Space.

...

Naruto glanced at the giant fox behind the gate, its eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

He knew this tsundere was probably too proud to admit it and was pretending to sleep.

He smiled knowingly, not bothering to expose it.

Naruto dashed to the TV, inserted the increasingly rich memory card he had saved over the past year into the player, then turned on the TV and tuned it to the third episode of Investiture of the Gods.

Having done all this, Naruto exited the Sealing Space and continued his training.

Just as he had planned, now that he had mastered tree climbing, the next step was water walking.

Fortunately, there was a stream right next to Naruto's training ground.

Although it wasn't deep, it was perfect for practicing water walking.

Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails opened its eyes the moment Naruto disappeared.

It glanced at the content playing on the TV, then at Naruto, who had already begun practicing water walking, and grinned, muttering to itself, "He's quite the considerate one, brat."

Then, it focused on watching.

Having waited for a year, the Nine Tails felt very satisfied at this moment.

Now, it could binge-watch Investiture of the Gods, not just Investiture of the Gods, but all the other TV series as well, all in one go, without anyone interrupting it again!

Naruto, that detestable controller of the TV remote, had finally abdicated, and now it was the master of it all!

On the other side, Naruto also felt that he was in particularly good condition.

First, his Chakra had suddenly surged by a large amount for some reason, and then there was the practice of water walking. Although it was much more difficult than tree climbing, Naruto's progress was rapid.

Previously, Naruto had estimated that he could learn tree climbing before going home tonight, but now he was confident that he could also master water walking before going home.

No longer needing to carefully deal with the Chakra disturbances that could occur at any time, after getting used to this state, Naruto had a feeling of complete control over the Chakra in his body.

Coupled with the experience gained from tree climbing, this allowed Naruto to stand steadily on the water surface after only falling into the stream three times.

Although it was awkward at first, as the practice deepened, it didn't take long before he could move freely on the water as if walking on flat ground.

"Yay, I've mastered tree climbing and water walking ahead of schedule, I can go and learn new ninjutsu from Third Hokage."

On the water, Naruto jumped up excitedly, then stood steadily on the water surface.

At this moment, it was almost dark.

Although it was still a while before his usual time to go home, Naruto now planned to take a rare break for himself, first going home to change into clean clothes to avoid catching a cold.

Then, he would make a delicious meal to reward himself.

Thinking this, Naruto tidied up slightly, then ran excitedly towards home.

With the assistance of Chakra, Naruto's speed was very fast.

However, before he had gone far, an unexpected situation caused Naruto, who was leaping through the trees, to stop.

Ahead on the road, not far from Naruto, three boys of about his age were surrounding a little girl.

At that moment, a mocking voice rang out from one of the boys.

"I heard you're a Hyuga Clan's Daughter, so use your Byakugan and take a look?"

"If you don't want to, then don't look this way."

"Disgusting eyes, you're actually a monster, aren't you, you Byakugan monster."

The girl had short, ear-length pale purple hair, pure white eyes, and a beautiful appearance.

Hearing this, her large eyes involuntarily filled with mist.

"It's her."

Naruto glanced at the girl's somewhat familiar face and muttered to himself.
