If You Want to Know, I'll Tell You

Inside the Sealing Space, Kurama was, as always, lying on the sofa watching a show.

It was Ultraman Tiga. The battles of giant beasts, tens or hundreds of meters tall, were more immersive for Kurama.

Maintaining his form as a half-human-sized little fox, he sensed Naruto's arrival and deliberately pressed pause.

Turning his head, he greeted Naruto, who was standing not far from the sofa, "Yo, Naruto, exams over? How were the results?"

Speaking of which, Kurama and Naruto hadn't seen each other for seven days.

Since the two first met in the Sealing Space, they had been by each other's side every day, but this was the first time they had been apart for so long.

Seeing Naruto's expressionless face, clearly in a bad mood.

Did he fail the exam?

Kurama's mind raced, and he comforted, "Don't be discouraged, Naruto. If you don't pass this time, there's always next time. Don't you always say that persistent effort is the foundation of success? Keep it up!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "I passed the exam. The results were very good. I got full marks."

Meeting Kurama's puzzled gaze, Naruto continued, "Kurama, you once said that the Fourth Hokage died at your hands, right?"

Hearing this, the expression on Kurama's face froze slightly.

This brat, he never cared about these questions before. Why is he suddenly asking this now? Did he find out something?

However, Kurama had long been mentally prepared for this day to come.

Without saying much, he propped himself up from the sofa and then extended his fist towards Naruto.

Since you want to know, then I will tell you all the truth, including all my thoughts at the time, and then leave everything else to your own decision.

As the two fists met, Naruto felt the scene before him change, and he appeared in a forest.

Once again, he was reliving Kurama's memories, transformed into an extremely huge orange Nine Tails fox, living a solitary but free life in the forest.

Although in his long life, everyone who saw him was filled with fear and dread, he still lived peacefully.

Until a man with long black hair and a fan-shaped mark embroidered on his clothes suddenly appeared, breaking this peace.

"Become my power, Nine Tails."

The man named Uchiha Madara announced in a condescending tone, his pair of black pupils suddenly turning blood red, using the power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

After that, Kurama lost control of his body.

From a bystander's perspective, he witnessed himself forcibly signing the Summoning Contract with Uchiha Madara, becoming his summoned beast, and then following him in the battle against a man named Hashirama Senju.

Kurama was very unwilling. He did not want to fight for a human who regarded him as an inferior beast, an uncontrollable disaster.

It was just that the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was too strong, and Kurama could not break free from it even with all his strength.

In the end, the man named Uchiha Madara was defeated by Hashirama Senju.

And Kurama, who joined the battle as a summoned beast, was also beaten down and weakened by Hashirama Senju's super move, Top Transformed Buddha.

The battle process was as simple as a human beating a weak kitten.

He thought that this terrible experience would end there.

Unexpectedly, the human who treated Kurama like a kitten, named Hashirama Senju, said to him, "Your power is too strong and needs to be sealed."

Afterward, without even asking Kurama's opinion, he was sealed into the body of a woman named Mito Uzumaki, and from then on, he lived a miserable life of being confined to a small dark room, oblivious to the world outside.

Being inferior in skill, even though Kurama's heart was full of resentment, he was unable to change this fate.

Decades later, as Mito Uzumaki's life was coming to an end, Kurama eagerly anticipated her demise. As long as he could escape from this miserable small dark room life, he wouldn't mind dying once with her.

The human world is too dangerous, so he would hide in the deep mountains and forests and never come out again.

Unexpectedly, he was extracted from Mito Uzumaki's body again and sealed into the body of a little girl named Kushina Uzumaki.

This little girl named Kushina Uzumaki inherited the consistent arrogance of humans and had no intention of communicating with him, using powerful sealing techniques to bind his body and extract his power all day long.

Fortunately, this little girl's power was ultimately much weaker than that of the previous Jinchuriki, and the Nine Tails was able to release some perception, observe the human world, and make his life less boring.

As time passed, Kurama watched this little girl who bound him grow up and gradually become a young woman.

Although Kurama didn't understand why this woman named Kushina Uzumaki had to add even more powerful sealing techniques to block his perception every night, time passed day by day.

She had someone she liked, married a man named Minato Namikaze, formed a family, and had a child.

On the day that child was born, he was bound as tightly as ever.

By now, Kurama was too lazy to even think about struggling. Perhaps this life of being confined to a small dark room would last forever?

Then, on that day, the eye power he hated appeared.

The masked man used the Summoning Contract with Uchiha Madara, coupled with the Mangekyo Sharingan, to control him and extract him from the Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki's body.

He was controlled to wreak havoc in the Hidden Leaf Village, unable to refuse the Sharingan's eye power, and unwilling to refuse.

Then, he was transferred out of the village by the man named Minato Namikaze, who had become the Fourth Hokage, and was once again locked up by the woman named Kushina Uzumaki using Adamantine Sealing Chains.

A Jinchuriki who has been extracted from the Tailed Beast is bound to die, and even though she once again bound him as a Tailed Beast before her death, she could not change this outcome.

Because she didn't know that as long as she resealed him as a Tailed Beast back into herself, she could be saved.

And even if she knew, with her weak body at the moment, she would not be able to withstand all of Kurama's power.

Kushina wanted to use her last Chakra to divide Kurama and seal him into the body of her newborn child.

The man named Minato Namikaze loved his wife very much, and at this moment, he was unwilling to live alone. In order to allow his wife to see their son when he grew up, he used a forbidden-level sealing technique called the Reaper Death Seal.

He sacrificed his soul to the Death God, dividing Kurama into Yin and Yang halves.

Then, he sealed the Yang Attribute half into the body of his son Naruto, while the remaining Yin Attribute half was taken into the belly of the Death God along with Minato Namikaze's soul.

Minato Namikaze hoped that his son could survive as a hero of the village, and the power of this half of Kurama was the guarantee he left for his child.

But in the end, things went against his wishes.
