"What do you want to do?"
Nine Tails' eyes revealed a hint of interest, perhaps because they had a common topic, Nine Tails' attitude towards Naruto was a bit more friendly.
"Kurama, want to destroy Konoha with me?" Naruto extended an invitation to Nine Tails.
"..."
Nine Tails was silent for a while, then said with a somewhat inexplicable tone, "Asura that guy, could never say something like that."
Nine Tails' words didn't elicit any reaction from Naruto, because he also remembered that Asura seemed to be a saint in the original story.
He curiously asked Nine Tails, "What kind of person is Asura?"
Nine Tails was stunned for a moment, then became silent again, frowning. It seemed to be thinking. As Asura's former partner, Nine Tails certainly knew him well. Even after hundreds of years, it still clearly understood what kind of person Asura, the second leader of Ninshu, was.
However, Tailed Beasts are, after all, Tailed Beasts. After Asura left, it just lay flat in the mountains. So, even after hundreds of years, Nine Tails was still illiterate. It was using its brain, which looked big on the outside but was actually very small, to think hard about how to properly introduce Asura in front of this little blondie.
But after thinking for a long time, it only managed to blurt out a sentence.
"Asura he... is a very kind person."
Naruto was a little surprised. He thought that after Nine Tails had thought for so long, it was going to give him something intense, using a bunch of flowery words to introduce Asura's glorious image, but he didn't expect it to be so... simple.
With just these two words, you needed to think for so long?
But using kindness to describe him was very fitting, even as kind as a saint. And he really was like a saint. Didn't you see that in the original story, Uzumaki Naruto, influenced by Asura's chakra, could say things like "Obito, who wants to be Hokage, is the coolest" right after Hyuga Neji was killed.
He really thought that love could create peace, but what right did he have to forgive the enemies who had just killed them on behalf of those who had sacrificed themselves?
"So, Kurama, do you also believe in that? Creating peace with love?" Naruto curiously looked at Nine Tails, wanting to hear its opinion.
Nine Tails was silent. To be honest, it used to believe in it, after all, it had fought alongside Asura before, but after being sealed for decades, it ultimately felt that Asura's ideas were a bit naive.
Although Nine Tails didn't answer, its expression had already given him the answer. Naruto smiled and said, "It's hard for me to become that kind of person. After all, I have to forgive those guys."
"Kurama, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The smile on Naruto's face had long disappeared, and his blue eyes were already filled with a chilling coldness.
Nine Tails also fell silent. Although it had always been confined in the seal space, it could still sense everything outside. It knew very well what kind of malice this little blondie was suffering in Konoha. It could be said that Nine Tails had watched Naruto grow up. If it weren't for the fact that he was the Nine Tails Jinchuriki and the Uzumaki clan's natural vitality, he probably wouldn't have lived to this point.
It was truly ironic, the hero had to bleed, and his child had to continue to shed tears.
"Kurama, kindness without teeth is weakness, and if it is forced upon others, it is malice."
"Was Asura really a kind person? Unilaterally choosing to use his 'love' to influence others, to make others accept his self-proclaimed benevolent ideas, to make others let go of hatred, isn't this also a kind of evil imposed on others?"
Nine Tails didn't speak, just quietly looked at Naruto, who silently continued speaking.
"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can never move it."
"If I were really like Asura in the past, choosing to use 'love' to build a bridge of mutual understanding between people, would those ignorant villagers really accept me openly?"
"In the end, in the ninja world, strength is what matters."
Although in the original story, Uzumaki Naruto really gained everyone's recognition through his own efforts and became the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, the current Naruto didn't want to follow this predetermined path to depict his life.
Why should the abusers not have to pay anything, while he, the one who suffered bullying, still needs to beg for their recognition.
Stop joking, he's not like all the other weaklings. See that giant, fiery red fox in front of you? He truly possesses the power to destroy Konoha.
He, Uzumaki Naruto, can do whatever he wants!
Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can never move it.
And this time, Kurama deeply empathized with Uzumaki Naruto, and it couldn't help but recall the past.
The so-called "aggregate of hatred" was just a saying that started circulating after it was sealed into Uzumaki Mito. Before that, it was just a big fox living in the mountains.
As an aggregate of chakra, the strongest of the nine Tailed Beasts, Kurama, its strength would automatically increase even if it was just lying down. Even if it did nothing, its strength would be at the forefront of the world, so after leaving the Sage of Six Paths, it directly lay down in the mountains.
It had been lying in the mountains for hundreds of years when suddenly someone came along shouting, "Kurama, your strength is too strong, too dangerous!" and grabbed it, then sealed it into a woman's body.
Kurama couldn't help but burst into curses on the spot, 'You motherfucker, if you're so strong and so dangerous, why don't you seal yourself up?' It hadn't done anything, spending every day in the mountains eating and sleeping, so why was it being sealed up?
Just because it was a Tailed Beast?
Having done nothing, it suddenly had to go to jail, and for life at that. Kurama immediately began to turn dark.
But Kurama still had a question in its heart.
"Kid, you should know, right?"
"Know what?"
"Your parents died at my hands."
