Chapter 22: A Conversation with the Nine-Tails

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Standing in front of a huge cage, Naruto looked back at the Nine-Tails.

Squinting at Naruto who had returned, the Nine-Tails' voice came through the thick iron railing, "You should know more or less about the current situation......"

Listening to the ethereal words of the Nine-Tails, Naruto was a little confused.

"What?"

Lying behind the iron railing, the Nine-Tails slowly closed his eyes, ignoring Naruto's performance, and continued, "You are the one who everyone in the village hates, and I ...... Now locked up in this nasty place. ”

"Of course you don't want to be a human pillar, and I certainly don't want me to be around here. So ......"

Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "What do you want to say?"

Mention this matter as soon as you come up, Nine-Tails, what do you want to do?

"Hmph! You don't have to look at me like that. I'm here for the good of both of us. The Nine-Tails finally opened their eyes, looking at Naruto with a hint of contempt in their gaze.

Naruto bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tails did not continue to talk nonsense.

"Make a pact with me! Soul Pact! In your lifetime, if you encounter an enemy you can't resist, I will help you. After all, our fates will be linked for a while, but you have to promise that at the end of your life, you will help me get out of this place!"

Nine-Tails' words immediately shocked Naruto, and he stood in place for a while without speaking.

Sign a contract with the Nine-Tails?

Or is it a soul contract?

The so-called soul contract refers to the signing of a contract with the soul of the contractor as a guarantee and the willingness of both parties. And once the contract is reached, there is no remorse for life!

Because it is a contract initiated by the soul, if there is a situation of repentance, the other party can have the right to forcibly control your soul according to the content of the contract. Heavy can destroy the soul of the other party between heaven and earth.

What a horrible thing!

Naruto pursed his lips, his brow furrowed slightly, and his heart slowly digested the words of the Nine-Tails.

By signing this contract, the benefit you can get is to get the help of the Nine Tails free of charge, which is definitely a great value. Nine-tails, that's the power that surpasses everything in the world. No matter how powerful a ninja is, he can only seal it, but he can't kill it.

And the price he needs to pay is to let the nine tails go when he is a hundred years old.

Naruto's gaze fell on a seal in the center of the cage. That's it, take it off, and the Nine-Tails can leave.

Naruto thought about it for a long time, and the Nine-Tails didn't bother him anymore.

Within the space of consciousness, it becomes quiet.

Finally, Naruto looked up, a gleam in his eyes.

As soon as my heart moved, the space of consciousness changed instantly.

The huge cage disappeared, and a landscape of birds and flowers reappeared.

Nine-Tails' eyes widened, and he didn't understand what Naruto was doing.

"I signed this contract!" At this moment, Naruto's crisp voice reached the Nine-Tails' ears.

Looking down, he saw Naruto standing in place, revealing a pair of large white teeth.

"Now that I've signed it, I have to show a little bit of my heart. I've locked you up here all day long, and you're pitiful. So, give you a change of environment. In short, it's better than nothing......"

Stunned for a while, the Nine-Tails closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth quietly hung up with a slight curvature.

"You kid, you're still a little conscious......

"Cut!"

Glancing at each other, both Naruto and the Nine-Tails laughed, laughter echoing through the space of consciousness.

Coming back to his senses, Naruto touched his abdomen, and he couldn't think of a conversation with the Nine-Tails that night.

I don't know where a trace of sweetness overflowed from my empty heart.

"Hehe, even if you can't pass the exam, it doesn't matter. ”

But......

Thinking of the old man's instructions to him, Naruto was silent for a while.

"Ninja, I really want to be. But ......" Naruto took a big breath and smiled, "People don't give me a chance......"

In the large room, only Naruto's slightly lonely figure lying on the bed remained.

Songsong, Toad, and two imps don't know where they went.

Quiet, so quiet!

――

The third generation, who was sitting in the office chair, put down the pen in his hand, straightened up and exhaled.

Working for a long time is already a bit overwhelming for this old man.

Shaking his stiff shoulders, the three generations looked at the crystal ball on the table.

"Naruto, this kid, I don't know what he's doing now?"

Muttering in a low voice, the three generations performed the "Far Glasses Technique" and looked at it seriously.

In the transparent crystal ball, Naruto's small back lying on the bed was suddenly revealed.

Looking at the little guy's sighs and the bitter smile, the three generations couldn't stop sighing.

Make this kid look like this, Danzang, is that what you mean?

It's just that...... Alas!

The backs of the three generations looked more curved.

At this moment, the scene in the crystal ball suddenly changed.

In Naruto's house, a small squirrel suddenly popped up.

Seeing this, the three generations smiled lightly.

"I don't know where to find such a little squirrel. ”

After laughing, the third generation ignored the crystal ball and straightened up and walked out of the Hokage's office.

――

Naruto's room.

Matsumatsu squeaked, jumped in through the window, and jumped next to Naruto's head at once.

Naruto opened his eyes and said angrily, "Where are you going crazy, I don't go through the front door when I get home, I want to jump through the window!"

Matsunmatsu ignored Naruto's blame and grabbed Naruto's hair and smiled unscrupulously.

Naruto sat up, grabbed the little one in his hands, and looked in the direction of the window.

The two imps were lying there, sticking out their tongues and panting.

Naruto smiled, "What's the matter?

The little ghost nodded weakly, took a few steps forward, and fell down on the soft big bed, refusing to get up again.

The little horn on his head was against the bed, and he didn't want to move. Naruto rolled his eyes.

Matsumatsu, who was lying in Naruto's arms, was reluctant and struggled to jump out of Naruto's hands, "squeaking" and not knowing what he was calling.

Naruto pretended not to hear.

After getting along for so long, Naruto can basically understand what this little guy wants to express.

Seeing Naruto's appearance, Matsumatsu stuck out his tongue at Naruto angrily.

Seeing this, three black lines finally appeared on Naruto's head.

"Holy, do you want this, little one?" Naruto, who was despised by this, became angry and crawled over and grabbed the little squirrel.

The proud little guy was caught, and his little foot kicked Naruto hard, looking like that, he seemed to be very relieved.

Naruto was speechless.

(Dear book friends, there was a bit of a computer failure just now, and the chapter was uploaded incorrectly.) I beg your pardon, it's been changed now. I'm really sorry...... ）
