Naruto: The New Beginning

14. Kurama

In the sealed space, one small child and one fox stared at each other with wide eyes.

Naruto considered that he hadn't employed his mouth evasion skills much and didn't believe he could deceive a thousand-year-old fox. So, he decided to be straightforward: "Big fox, I know you."

Kyuubi closed his eyes and ignored him, "of course, the entire Konoha knows me"

"Everyone calls you the nine-tailed demon fox."

Nine-Tails still didn't harm him.

"But you have a name, Kurama."

Kurama finally opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, his massive head hitting the iron door, making it rattle. "How did you know that, stinky brat!"

Seeing Nine-Tails' excited reaction, Naruto suddenly pondered. Humans are very strange creatures. They will desperately struggle to survive in dangerous situations, but occasionally they want to die in a safe environment.

Naruto now felt like he was looking at a beast through a cage in front of Nine Tails. As everyone knows, the nine-tails don't like humans for a reason.

Naruto tentatively said, "If I were to tell you that I am the reincarnation of a Six Path, would you believe me?"

"Bullsh*t!" Nine Tails patted the door with a paw to express his anger.

"Then, would you believe me if I said I'm the reincarnation of Asura?"

"You still know Asura!?" Nine Tails was shocked. This kid knows that the Six Paths sage can also be understood as having his legend in the ninja world, but the name of Asura is not well-known.

"It's very troublesome to explain. Why don't you just calm down and listen to me slowly?"

Nine Tails stared at him for a few seconds and then relented, "Speak."

"Before that, let's get acquainted. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, hee hee." Naruto showed a big smile.

"Humph." Nine Tails turned his head slightly as if he had to squeeze a few words out of his teeth."Continue."

Naruto clapped his hands and switched to storytelling mode:

"Speaking of which, Kaguya Otsutsuki came from outer space, wanting to turn human beings into sacrifice and nourish the divine tree. Fortunately, the two brothers, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, joined forces to seal her"

"Sometime later, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was inspired by his youngest son, Asura, to use his Creation of All Things ability to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine living entities, what would become the tailed beasts. The Sage named the nine and explained to them that a link existed between them despite their separation."

"However, a guy from the Senju clan took his brother to capture the tailed beasts and distributed them to the major ninja villages, hoping to balance the strength of the villages through the power of the tailed beasts and achieve peace."

"So, the tailed beasts lost their freedom one after another."

"However, things took an unexpected turn. Hashirama didn't expect to be betrayed by his half-brother, Madara, who ran away from the village. Soon after, he passed away. After several wars in the ninja world, peace seemed far away."

"The tailed beasts that Hashirama originally wanted to use to balance the power of various villages were instead used as weapons of war."

"This fox all know that, but what interests me is how you know all this." Although there are some unfamiliar words, Nine Tails can generally understand them.
