Friends

When Naruto entered the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails was engrossed in watching a drama.

 What it was watching was naturally Investiture of the Gods.

 Naruto could deduce from the current episode that the other party was watching that this Big Fox hadn't stopped since it got the remote control.

 "Yo, Big Fox, good evening," Naruto greeted the Nine Tails.

 "Hey brat, good evening."

 The Nine Tails didn't take its eyes off the TV and replied to Naruto perfunctorily.

 In fact, the Nine Tails, who was addicted to TV dramas, didn't want to pay attention to Naruto at all.

 But it knew that if it ignored this brat, he would pester it relentlessly, which would delay its drama watching even more, so it was better to respond first to save trouble.

 Naruto frowned, ran a few steps to the TV, and directly pressed pause.

 Then, he said dissatisfiedly, "Big Fox, hasn't anyone taught you? You should concentrate when talking to people, that's polite and respectful."

 The Nine Tails's expression froze, it didn't expect to be lectured by a brat.

 It wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, continuing to argue with this brat would waste more time and delay its drama watching, so it restrained its anger and said seriously to Naruto, "Good evening."

 Seeing this, Naruto nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled earnestly, "From today onwards, let's be friends, hello, I am Naruto Uzumaki, what's your name?"

 Naruto's thinking was very simple, since the Big Fox was no longer fighting against him, and lived in his body, the two of them should become friends since they were together day and night.

 The Nine Tails stared at the serious expression on the little figure's face, its eyes were a little dazed, as if it saw the figure of the old man who had given them tailed beasts life.

 That was the only human who wouldn't look at them with strange eyes, and treated them as beings with whom he could communicate equally.

 Unfortunately, he died.

 Since then, no human has ever looked at them, these tailed beasts, squarely.

 And now, after thousands of years, there is finally another human who solemnly asks it for its name.

 After a moment of silence, it opened its mouth and said, "My name is Kurama."

 Although it really didn't like others mentioning its name, it still opened its mouth at this moment and told it to this human brat in front of it.

 "So you're not called Nine Tails, Kurama, okay, I'll remember it," Naruto said with a smile.

 At this moment, Naruto was very happy, he finally had a proper friend.

 Although this friend was a fox, Naruto didn't care.

 They were all intelligent beings, and no one was nobler than the other.

 "Kurama, wait for me, I'll be right back."

 After saying that, Naruto left the Sealing Space.

 Kurama didn't care about Naruto's disappearance, after being touched, watching dramas was indeed more interesting.

 However, before Kurama could pick up the remote control and continue watching the drama, it saw Naruto, who had just disappeared, appear again.

 When he reappeared, Naruto brought over another TV and game console that he had placed in the Learning Space.

"Let's play games! Contra, Super Mario, Jackal, Double Dragon, these are all fun," Naruto said with a smile, inviting Kurama.

These games were all two-player games. Although Naruto had played them for a long time, he had never been able to beat them because he had no one to cooperate with. Now that he had a friend, Naruto immediately thought of asking it to play together.

Kurama dismissed Naruto's invitation with disdain.

"What's so fun about your games? I want to watch dramas. Don't bother me, Naruto. Let's do our own thing."

Ten minutes later.

"Naruto, how did you get thirty lives in this game!"

"As expected, no intelligent creature can escape the 'so fragrant' law."

Naruto mocked, but still told Kurama the Contra code: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A.

...

"Wow, finally cleared it."

"Old Man is still awesome."

After who knows how long, Naruto and Kurama, one human and one fox, went from unfamiliar to skilled, finally cooperating to beat Contra.

Immediately, the two high-fived and cheered.

Naruto took the opportunity to hug the fluffy little fox next to him and rubbed it wildly.

At this moment, to make it easier to play games, Kurama used Chakra to infiltrate the entertainment room outside the Sealing Gate, condensing a clone about the same height as Naruto.

He placed his consciousness on the clone, while the main body went straight to sleep.

This clone and Naruto were huddled on the sofa, playing games with controllers in hand.

After shrinking in size, Kurama's expression was calm and not ferocious. It was a very cute little fox, and it had the same touch as the main body, making Naruto want to pet the fox endlessly.

Unfortunately, the fox would bristle.

And at this moment, taking advantage of Kurama's happiness, Naruto rubbed it to his heart's content.

It wasn't until Kurama came back to his senses that he impatiently kicked Naruto away with one jio.

"Hey, Naruto, aren't you studying today?"

After resting for a while, Kurama asked.

Several hours had passed, long past Naruto's usual entertainment time. Normally, he should have gone to study already, but now he was here playing games with it.

Although the game was fun and playing with Naruto was also very enjoyable, Kurama still reminded him.

It didn't want its Jinchuriki to be obsessed with games. After all, he was just a human brat, and there were still many things he needed to learn, unlike it, who had nothing to do all day.

Even it had studied for a long time when it was young.

"When I took the game console, I made a Shadow Clone to study," Naruto glanced at Kurama and replied with some reluctance.

I really want to keep petting the fox, the feel is extraordinary.

Hearing this, Kurama didn't say anything more since Naruto knew what he was doing.

And so, the game continued, the two began their journey as plumbers, striving to save the princess, Super Mario!

This playing went on until dawn.

Although they hadn't beaten the game yet, Naruto chose to stop playing.

By this time, his body had rested enough.

"I'll come back in and play with you during my training breaks," Naruto said with a smile, before leaving this Sealing Space.

Back in the Learning Space, Naruto dispelled the Shadow Clone.

His head spun, and many memories of learned knowledge flooded his mind.

After a good while, Naruto integrated these memories.

Practice proved that Naruto's current limit was one Shadow Clone to assist with non-physical, knowledge-based learning. Perhaps he could handle more as he got older, but not now.

So he chose to leave this clone in the Learning Space to study twenty-four hours a day, so he could learn faster.

And his free time would be used to learn other things, play games, or watch dramas to relax his mind.

Work hard and play hard, that's the way to go.

After creating another clone to study here, Naruto finally left the Learning Space.

After preparing his lunch for the day, Naruto went out and headed to his usual training ground.
