"Who... What the hell are you?"

...

Dix was struck with the question right trough the heart. He sometimes heard this from other people before he died. He always felt like the odd one out no matter where he went. And this haven't changed even after death. Not like he cared or anything, but this one single sentence eerily stung his ego, it implied he is some sort of freak. But it also went down a line, a line which he himself wanted to see the end of.

"Who am I?" came the retort, with a slightly annoyed tone. The act has started, as the actor stood on the stage.

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed yet. It's been four years by now, you must've noticed my chakra's true nature... Or have your senses got dull throughout the centuries?"

Kurama's face distorted and on it, even though it was a fox's face which was quite dissimilar from a human's, thus had a hard time conveying emotions, a clear frown was present. This suddenly turned to anger as he exploded.

"Don't you dare mock me, whatever you are! You are in no place to look down on me! Stop speaking in riddles and answer clearly!" came the answer in the form of a long roar so loud, it shook the chamber once again.

"Oh, don't be upset now, I am not here to mock you, or hurt you in any way. In fact I am here to ask for your help."

Kurama's fuming subsided a bit, but never actually disappeared. He had something close to a questioning look, which made Dix let out a small muted chuckle, as he had never seen Kurama like this, not in the anime at least.

"My... help...? Don't try to sidetrack! First, clear your name, who, or what are you?!" came another roar, which was a bit quieter this time. Hearing the repeated question Dix let out a small sigh, at which Kurama's left eye slightly twitched, and his fur turned a shade darker. At this reaction Dix suddenly raised his hands in an apologetic manner with a bit of shy laughter and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Its just you should've noticed by now. Haven't you felt something peculiar about my chakra?"

"Well... I did notice there's enough of it to fill a bigger pond..." at this Dix let out a genuine, heartfelt laughter. Kurama was about to become angry again so Dix quickly answered.

"Hahaha, obviously compared to an existence like yourself, my chakra really is just a pond's worth, while for other humans this is akin to an ocean. But this isn't what I'm here to discuss. What I wanted to shine a light on is that my chakra should be quite similar to someone's you should be more then familiar with. I am talking about Hagoromo Otsutsuki."

"The... old man? What are you talking about, how do you know about him and how does he come here?" Kurama still sounded a bit annoyed and angry, but his fur got a few shades paler.

"What I mean is that this body is the direct reincarnation of his lineage, specifically, one of his son's. Go on and check it out. Now that you know what to look for, I'm sure you will see the evidence."

After hearing this, Kurama's face distorted so much it was started to look comical. He wanted to burst out in anger, and wanted to refute everything this shady person said so far. But he couldn't. He always had some small inkling feeling ever since he was sealed inside the kid, so he just complied and tried to sense it. Ever since Dix entered his space he was standing on four legs, in something resembling combat readiness, but now he sat down cross-legged and touched his palms together in front of his chest, closed his eyes and started meditating. After around half a minute later he flicked his eyes open

"You... You are right."

"I know I'm right, this is why I can be here. This body was born in order for me to take it over and address the greatest crisis this world have ever faced before."
