Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

"Can you hurry up? Huh?" Nine Lamas shouted at Naruto.

Naruto covered his ears and was speechless: "I'm in a hurry too! And can't you fly? If you have the ability, come out and fly by yourself!"

"If I could fly as fast as you, I would have come out a long time ago!" Nine Lamas were angry.

He was not worried about Shukaku, but he was worried that Shukaku would be caught if he went late, and he would have to face a difficult thing.

His flying speed is indeed not as fast as Naruto's. In Six Paths Mode, Naruto's speed is far faster than what the naked eye can see. Coupled with the advantage of his body shape, his speed is almost faster than Sasuke's complete Susanoo. .

But Kurama is not. In terms of speed alone, he is indeed slower than Naruto.

There is no way.

Naruto covered his ears speechlessly: "Really, doesn't the resurrection of the Ten-Tails require the chakra of all your tailed beasts? What are you afraid of if you haven't been caught?"

Jiulama's face darkened: "Idiot, have you forgotten what Jiraiya said? You don't know what the purpose of Nagato and Konan's attack on Konoha is? The other party's purpose is your father's tomb, and they want to resurrect my half body !”

"I know, but didn't they find it?" Naruto frowned.

"Obito, Obito! Have you forgotten?" Nine Lama was so angry that the entire fox quickly turned from red to black, "Obito's ability is time and space, Shenweike does not need to set runes like Flying Thunder God , he can cross all the barriers and seals, do you think that guy can't do anything when he comes to Konoha?"

"In addition, in the limited edition of Tsukuyomi, we told Obito the location of the tombs of past Hokages, and that guy will definitely look for it! Your father's tomb may have been dug up by now!" Kurama jumped angrily.

This Naruto really didn't make any progress at all, and he couldn't react to such an obvious thing for a long time.

But now that he heard Jiu Lama say this, Naruto obviously thought of something. He put down his hands covering his ears and looked at Jiu Lama: "If they resurrected Dad and took out half of your body, then..."

"The ten tails will be resurrected." Nine Lama explained with a serious face, "I can't contact the other tailed beasts. All the tailed beasts have been sealed since Neko Mata arrived in Chongming. I don't know their current situation. That guy Ushiki has also We can’t get in touch, and now we know that the only tailed beast that hasn’t been captured yet is Shukaku.”

Nekomata, Isofu, Sun, King Mu, Rhinoceros, Chongming, and Ukiki couldn't be contacted. Ukiki was not sure, but the first few had probably been captured by the Akatsuki organization, and once the Nine Lamas in Minato's body were resurrected, then Shukaku is the only tailed beast known to have not been captured in the entire ninja world.

"Damn it, these guys really took advantage of our absence to hold back a big fart!" Nine Lama's face was filled with anger.

Naruto's face finally turned serious: "In other words, Shukaku's existence now determines whether the Ten-Tails will be resurrected?"

"That's right." Jiulama nodded, "The strength of the Ten-Tails is not the key. The key is that the Ten-Tails can make a person directly grow into a Sage of Six Paths. Currently, the only three people in the ninja world who can deal with him are you, Sasuke and me. "

"The key is……"

When he said this, Jiu Lama pursed his lips in displeasure, but he did not say the rest of the words directly.

"What's the most important thing?" Naruto asked subconsciously.

The most important thing is, if the Ten-Tails is resurrected, is Kaguya still far behind?

Of course, the Nine Lamas did not say this: "It's nothing, you still have to find a way to speed up. We must rush there in a short time."

I wasn't anxious at first because I didn't understand it. Now that I understand it, I'm naturally anxious.

……

"Gaara..." In the huge dark space, Shukaku's expression was not very good. He looked at Gaara lying in front of him, his eyes filled with haze.

To be honest, he really wants to go out and fight the opponent now, but he has already tried it before. There is no way. If he can't beat him, he can't beat him. The opponent's ability and strength are not weak. Even if he is not in the desert, Shukaku has his own strength. The feeling of losing.

Tailed beast...when did he become so weak?

Shukaku's eyes flashed slightly, and the image of Kurama appeared in his mind unconsciously, that stinky fox who said 'the true pride of the tailed beast'.

Not noticing Shukaku's absent-minded face, Gaara, who was holding back the pain, raised his head slightly. Sweat dripped down his face, which seemed to have been without much emotion, but his tone was as calm as usual: "Shukaku... you are here Call me?"

If it weren't for the intermittent tone and weak voice, Shukaku might have really thought that Gaara was pretending to be ill, right?

Shukaku said coldly: "Don't think too highly of yourself. I just want to tell you that even with my chakra suppression, you won't be able to hold on for too long. You will be in more pain next, so don't scream out in pain. "

"No..." Gaara seemed to smile, very lightly, "Because... the most painful thing... I have already experienced..."

"You make it sound like you are old." Shukaku pursed his lips in disdain.

"Haha..." Gaara really smiled this time. He looked at the dark void in his inner space, "The poison filled my body and made me feel pain. It was just physical pain, but... if I There is nothing in my body, that emptiness, and the sense of loss caused by loneliness will also make me feel pain..."

"And that's psychological pain."

Gaara tilted his head slightly and looked at Shukaku with great difficulty: "They both hurt, because they are not the same pain, but if you ask me... which one I can endure more, I choose poisoning."

Shukaku was stunned: "Why?"

Gaara's pale lips curved: "It hurts to have an empty heart, but it's okay if you get used to it. Everyone has their own way of living... But if the empty heart is filled, you will never get used to it again. I can’t live in vain anymore.”

"What is more painful than losing is that it is difficult to find the lost happiness, but when you are carefully protecting this happiness, you suddenly find that... it turns out that all of this... is fake."

The fear is not of losing, but of losing after gaining.

"Maybe you can't understand... After all, you are not human." Gaara's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he would faint at any time.

Shukaku looked at Gaara silently, as if he was simply thinking about something.

In fact, it's very simple. He just thought of an old man, not the old man of Six Paths, but... the monk whose name he had forgotten. He was Shukaku's previous Jinchuuriki and died in the Great Ninja War.

miserable.

"What I'm afraid of is losing after gaining..." Shukaku murmured this sentence softly, then snorted coldly and crossed his arms, "Boy, the tone of your words reminds me of an unhappy guy, but I can see When you suffer, I am quite happy."

"Anyway, you are going to die soon. I can promise you a small thing."

Shukaku leaned down, his huge body lying in front of Gaara, and his head, which was bigger than Gaara's whole body, looked at him like this.

Shukaku's lips curved upward: "As a guy who can make me happy before you die, boy, tell me your wish."

"Wish?" Gaara's eyes were a little blurry, the poison could no longer be suppressed, and now he was about to fall into a coma.

He didn't hear Shukaku's other words, all he could hear was that 'wishes'.

"My wish..." Gaara's voice became too small to be heard clearly, "Shukaku... I hope you can... become my friend..."

It's not the relationship between the host and the psychic, or the relationship between the jinchūriki and the tailed beast, it's the relationship between friends.

Like Naruto and Kurama as a friend.

Yes, Gaara raised his lips. I have very few friends. Kankuro and Temari are my brothers and sisters, so they don’t count. It seems that theoretically there is only Naruto. If possible, Shukaku, I hope you can become mine. friend.

Shukaku was silent.
