Ch 39

Inoichi's POV
KN "So uh... I've never done this before, how does it work?"

I "To put it simply, I'll enter your consciousness and look through your memories. This way we can confirm whether what you've told us is true or not. I will know if there's a barrier or seal keeping me from seeing certain things, and it will be held against you."

KN "Hm... alright, that makes sense ya know. So what should I do?"

I "Just sit down, close your eyes, and try not to fight it."

KN "Got it."

I "I will now begin."

///*bop bop, whacky mind stuff, we are now in the mind*///

Inoichi was greeted with a large and cold hallway when he arrived. Water dripped down into the water at his feet. It was quiet, but not silent. There was a heavy breathing coming from down the hall, like that of a great and giant beast.

As good of a lead as any.

He began walking towards the deep breaths, through twists and turns, until a large opening in the wall was in front of him. Just through there, he could hear the breathing, louder than ever.

Taking a step forward, he peaked into the room to see where the noise came from.

Wait. He claimed to have the ninetailed fox. This can't be...?

Why are you here?

"Ninetails."

You're here to see the kids memories, not to bother me, fuck off.

"I- uh-"

The hell am I supposed to say? His mind is like a Labrynth, this is the best lead I've got.

The sound of stones sliding and water splashing filled his ears.

Go to that room behind you, and try not to come back here. I don't like people.

"Um, yes sir."

Did I just call the ninetailed fox 'sir? The hell am I doing?

He backed away from the fox before turning to enter the room that appeared behind him across the hall.

This looks more like what I'm used to. A perfect set up for sorting through memories. We'll nearly perfect, that guy's a bit of a scatter brain... this may take a while.
