Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 61: The Promise with the Nine-Tailed Fox

Jiraiya certainly hoped to go with Naruto.

But it was decisively rejected.

It's enough to have Karin by my side.

He returned to the hotel.

It was daybreak and the red-haired girl was still sleeping soundly in bed.

Naruto disbands his shadow clones.

Sit on the windowsill and watch the sun rise in the distance.

The news I got from Jiraiya was good news in some ways.

His feelings towards Kyuubi have always been complicated.

This fox is pretty good in all other aspects except for its bad temper and harsh words. To be honest, I quite like it.

But on the other hand, before today.

In his own understanding, Kyuubi was the murderer of his parents.

And after today.

He learned the truth that the person who forced his parents to death was not Kyuubi, but someone else.

The man who possesses the Sharingan and is suspected to be "Uchiha Madara".

"Nine-Tails." Naruto whispered, calling out its name.

In his inner world, the fox responded muffledly: "What's wrong, little ghost?"

"Once I find my parents, I'll ask them what they think of you," Naruto said slowly.

Kyuubi was stunned.

Naruto leaned against the window, "The culprit is that Uchiha."

“But you also contributed to the situation.”

"I am not qualified to speak for my parents, nor do I want to speak for them."

"If they're willing to forgive you."

"Then I will try to find a way to safely release you from my body."

"If they don't want to"

"Then I will release you and give you freedom before I die."

The Jinchūriki is a prison to the Tailed Beasts.

But the tailed beast is also a form of imprisonment for the jinchūriki. When the tailed beast is completely separated from the body and the symbiotic relationship with the jinchūriki is severed, the jinchūriki will die.

Nine-Tailed Fox bared its teeth and said in a surprised voice: "Wait for you to die?"

"Naruto! God knows how many years you can live. Isn't it said that Yamamoto Genryusai has a lifespan of more than 2,000 years?"

"You are still a member of the Uzumaki clan."

It is sure that if there are no accidents, Naruto's life span will definitely be in the unit of "thousand years", and he will definitely live longer than Yamamoto Genryusai.

"This is the punishment for your parents not forgiving you." Naruto smiled.

Kyuubi purred in dissatisfaction.

"Let's make another agreement." Naruto tilted his head and said in a soft voice, "I know you don't like being forced."

Kyuubi bared his teeth.

I also recalled the unpleasant days under the whip of the "King Kong Blockade".

"It's just that I thought you were the murderer of my parents before." Naruto continued, "I don't want to care about your thoughts."

“But it’s different now.”

"Let me apologize for my previous willfulness."

"I will not use the Diamond Seal or other sealing techniques on you in the future."

"But when I need to borrow your power, can you lend it to me without being so resistant?"

Facing Naruto's direct attitude.

Kyuubi was a little overwhelmed.

It could sense that Naruto's emotions were frank and sincere, not hypocritical and full of lies.

It's just so straight forward that it's a little overwhelming.

"Let me think about it." After a while, it shook its tail and answered softly.

"So that means you agree?" Naruto smiled.

The Nine-Tails was embarrassed and annoyed: "Shut up, Naruto!"

"The old man said he would think about it."

"Then tell me your name too." Naruto continued.

"Don't talk to yourself." Kyuubi raised his voice, "I told you to think about it."

There was a wonderful light flashing in its eyes.

A long, long time ago, when I was just born.

The father who created these "tailed beasts".

The man named "Otsutsuki Hagoromo", known as the "Six Paths Sage" by the world.

I told them to value “connection with people”. But.
Humanity has let it down.

Especially the ones with red eyes.

Red-headed guys are also difficult to get along with.

Will Naruto be the exception?
Kyuubi stopped talking.

There is still a lot of time. Naruto has a lifespan of more than a thousand years, and as a tailed beast, he is even more eternal. There is plenty of time for them to get along and watch it slowly.

But, please don't use those nasty gold chains on yourself.

What a great news.

Wait until the sunlight completely penetrates the house.

Karin wakes up.

"Naruto," she mumbled, rubbing her eyes, "I just dreamed that you suddenly ran away."

Naruto smiled: "I went back to save someone."

"I also talked a little with Jiraiya-sensei."

Xianglin paused and said, "That wasn't a dream."

"Did you sleep well?" Naruto jumped down from the windowsill.

Karin nodded.

She tilted her head and looked at Naruto.

I just took a nap, but I feel that Naruto has changed a lot.

Became more reliable.

"Then let's go buy some things together." Naruto waved his hand, "Is there anything you want?"

Karin's eyes sparkled and she nodded quickly.

When she was in Kusagakure, she wasn't so free.

I have long wanted to try the life of a normal girl.

The economy of this town is pretty good, with a wide variety of shops of all sizes.

Naruto customized two sets of clothes for himself, the Shinigami suit and the captain's haori. He has been wearing this set for more than ten years and has become accustomed to this style of dress.

Karin stared at her earth-gray jacket, which was lined with the ninja's standard fishnet outfit.

It was a little hard to look at, and I began to doubt myself for a moment.

this.
Naruto is better at dressing than me?

She tried on several outfits.

Perhaps it was because she had lived in the Kusagakure Village for a long time and her aesthetic sense had been suppressed, the clothes she picked out were always weird.

Or it doesn’t look good.

Either it looks good on its own, but it looks like a mess when paired with red hair.

It was Naruto who took action again.

I picked out an outfit for Xianglin: a navy blue waist-length shirt, paired with khaki cropped pants and a pair of low-top sneakers.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

"Naruto, you have a good eye." Karin looked left and right, her eyes fixed.

The girl in the mirror is beautiful.

Red hair is a bright color in itself. It has a deep but not “depressing” color as a backdrop, making the whole person look sunny and cheerful.

just
There is hardly any trace of a "ninja" left.

Naruto smiled.

After selecting a few more pieces for her, he left the town and headed towards the Whirlpool Country.

In Konoha.

Two men wearing red-cloud and black-bottomed robes were walking down the street.

Kisame lowered his voice and said, "It might be a bit inappropriate to just barge in like this."

"At least some disguise should be done."

"Even if the Third Hokage is dead, this is still Konoha after all."

Uchiha Itachi's tone did not change: "If you think there is a problem, then find the boy quickly."

"There's no point in saying these things."

As he spoke, his steps suddenly stopped.

Two Konoha ninjas blocked their way.

A bearded and handsome man, he is the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi.

The other one has black hair and red eyes, and is the jonin Yuhi Kurenai.

"You two are not from Konoha, are you?" Sarutobi Asuma said softly, his tone cautious, "Why did you come to the village?"

These two people have strong auras and are both powerful.

Appearing at this moment
It sounded the alarm in his heart.
