SEC Chapter 467 Consuming Durability
Chapter 467 Consuming Durability
After being flattered by the Six-Tails, the Nine-Tails felt much better, and its expression immediately became amiable.
Six-Tails, as expected... cough cough.
"Of course."
Kurama proudly raised its chin, "First of all, the close relationship between Naruto and Sasuke that you see now was achieved under my subtle guidance."
"Huh? Holy crap! So the director of all this disgusting little drama we've been watching is Nine-Tailed Fox, you scorching fox! Everyone, see? I told you Nine-Tailed Fox was born to be a scorching fox, wasn't I right?"
Upon hearing this, Shukaku paused for a moment, then immediately began to curse.
"...Foolish, stinky raccoon, you've missed the point!"
Nine-Tailed Fox was speechless.
"Yes, Shukaku, you should focus on these things first. Let Kurama reveal his plan."
"Kurama did a good job, keeping Naruto and Sasuke occupied, which reduced the amount of energy he could devote to us, but there is still danger."
"Nine Lama, please, what other methods are there? We will cooperate with you in any way we can."
The other tailed beasts also began to speak up for Kurama.
After all, Kurama has a solution, while Shukaku just acts as a rebuttal personality, cursing people.
"You...you guys?!"
Shukaku was stunned to find himself the target of everyone's anger.
But soon, Shukaku, regaining its senses, met Kurama's evil gaze and felt a chill run down its spine.
This Nine-Tails, which was born to be so powerful, shouldn't be sacrificed so that Naruto can thank Yuhuo first?
"You're right, Sasuke alone isn't enough. So we need to take a multi-pronged approach, and it would be best to send another tailed beast in to infiltrate their ranks."
Gaara, the jinchūriki of Shukaku, is a very suitable candidate.
Under Shukaku's horrified gaze, Kurama revealed its plan.
"Yeah, Gaara controls sand. When he's playing with Naruto while controlling sand, he can make Shukaku suddenly possess him and use that... you know..."
Nibi Matatabi excitedly shared its little idea.
"A sandstorm funeral?"
Shukaku tentatively added.
"Yes, it's a sandstorm funeral procession. If it crushes Naruto, we'll be safe, right?"
The journey also revealed the cruel and destructive desires of a cat demon.
Fortunately, those present were all tailed beasts and did not have the corresponding items, so they did not feel anything upon hearing this.
Except for the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Because of their current special state, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) is one with Naruto, so it feels whatever Naruto feels.
Similarly, the reverse is also true.
Whatever Kurama feels, Naruto will feel too.
Therefore, Kurama has experienced the pain of phantom limbs.
"No! I won't allow you to hurt my Jinchūriki! Matatabi, you've gone too far!"
Nine-Tailed Fox immediately rebuked and objected.
"Why should I? It's fine if I and Gaara sacrifice ourselves, but you can't sacrifice your Jinchuriki joystick? That's a one-and-done solution!"
Shukaku took the opportunity to question Kurama.
When Kurama just revealed the method for Gaara to sacrifice himself, it dared not refute it.
If it were to refute that, it would be attacked by the other tailed beasts.
But now is a good opportunity.
"Yeah, Kurama, aren't you being a bit hypocritical? You're willing to sacrifice our Jinchūriki, but not you?"
Then, dissatisfied, the traveler scratched its cheek with its paw.
"..."
Kurama's opinion of Matatabi has plummeted; now, Matatabi is only slightly better than Shukaku, who has been constantly criticizing it.
Originally, Kurama's plan didn't include Matatabi, but given Matatabi's attitude, Kurama has to find a way to give Matatabi a proper role to satisfy him.
"Ahem, do you think I don't want to? Haven't you all figured it out yet? Why does Sasuke have the Rinnegan? Why did he get the Rinnegan after he married Naruto?"
Those are the eyes of the old man Rokudo!
Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of the chakra of the two sons of the Six Paths Elder!
You want to destroy the joystick? Do you think you've done right by the old man of the Six Paths' upbringing? Hmm?
We tailed beasts have always been cursed by those foolish humans in the ninja world for being born that way, but we all know that we are far more noble than some people in the ninja world; they are the ones who are truly born that way.
Are we now going to stoop to such a low level and do the same thing?
The Nine-Tails revealed Naruto's identity as the reincarnation of Ashura, completely reversing the situation.
The other tailed beasts were immediately speechless.
The questioner, Youlu, was speechless. He lowered his head, lay down on the ground, and meowed, pretending to be stupid.
The Tailed Beasts can disregard everything else, but not the Sage of Six Paths.
"What should we do then?"
"Nine-Tails, let's listen to you."
After a moment of silence, everyone spoke again.
The Nine-Tails' authority among the tailed beasts has been recognized.
Putting everything else aside, Kurama is now the jinchūriki of the Sage of Six Paths' son.
"Actually, the idea of the plan that Youlv just proposed was not bad, but it was too cruel."
Kurama first reassured the frustrated Matatabi, then continued, "Look at the situation outside. Jiraiya actually sent Naruto to spread his Sage Mode shortcut. That's the key."
"Is this the key?"
The tailed beasts, who knew nothing about this, were completely baffled.
"That's right, the joystick has a limited lifespan. As long as we let Naruto use the joystick by himself as much as possible, he won't need to use it on us!"
Therefore, I must ensure that Naruto doesn't rely on this shortcut and doesn't become so proficient that he masters the proper Sage Mode.
Nine-Tails spoke with a serious expression.
"How can we guarantee that? Should we interfere with him every time he enters Sage Mode using Tailed Beast Chakra? Won't he notice?"
Yatsuo asked.
"It's interference, but not interference using chakra."
Nine-tailed Fox shook its head.
"Now I can feel Naruto's body, so all I need to do is rub my body against him when he tries to use the proper Sage Mode, causing him to have distracting thoughts, and he will naturally fail."
And he wouldn't even notice this method; he would only feel a strange itch on his body.
"So, Kurama, how many times have you interfered with Naruto now?"
Yatsuo was curious.
"zero."
"..."
"Naruto seems to be addicted to taking shortcuts; I haven't seen him try the proper way even once."
Nine-Tailed Fox offered an awkward explanation.
The tailed beasts fell silent for a while.
"Great idea!"
"really."
"The Nine-Tails is indeed intelligent."
"Don't rush to praise me."
The Nine-Tails stopped the other tailed beasts from praising it.
"This plan alone cannot succeed; it needs to be implemented in conjunction with the other plans I mentioned earlier."
Therefore, Shukaku, you still need to persuade your Jinchuriki to get closer to Naruto, ensuring that Naruto's stamina won't be wasted on us.
"..."
Shukaku felt that he didn't need to "persuade" Gaara at all; Gaara would definitely do it willingly.
Even after he told Gaara this, Gaara was able to use this opportunity to give himself a reason to muster up his courage.
"Besides Shukaku, there's also Matatabi."
The Nine-Tailed Fox revealed its true intentions, remembering the Two-Tailed Fox that had offended it earlier. Now it had figured out the task for the Traveler and revealed an evil smile.
