Just as Naruto continued walking deep into the woods, a long-familiar voice came from the depths of his heart.
“Hey, brat.”
Naruto’s footsteps faltered; it was that Tailed Beast with nine tails.
Ever since they had met in the depths of his consciousness over a year ago, this guy hadn’t spoken a word.
Naruto had thought it didn’t intend to pay him any mind.
“Why did you use Ninjutsu without using Chakra?” The Nine-Tailed’s voice carried clear confusion.
Naruto froze for a moment, then realized what it meant.
It was talking about Flower Field Magic.
In the Nine-Tailed’s view, that was probably some kind of Ninjutsu or Transformation Technique.
But the key was, there was no Chakra fluctuation.
Naruto didn’t rush to answer, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
He had finally found something this guy was interested in.
“You’re finally willing to talk?” Naruto responded in his mind.
“Cut the crap.” The Nine-Tailed’s voice was somewhat impatient.
“Answer my question.”
Naruto continued walking forward, not answering directly, but instead asking in return: “Then you tell me first, what is your name?”
As long as he knew its name, he could further bridge the relationship between the two of them.
“…”
The Nine-Tailed was silent for a moment, then said in a mocking tone: “You want to know my name just because of this?”
“The bargaining chip is far too low.”
Naruto was slightly stunned.
It’s just a name, is it really that important?
However, judging by the Nine-Tailed’s tone, it probably wouldn’t say it easily.
Naruto changed the question: “Then are you that Demon Fox from the Nine-Tails Incident?”
The term “Demon Fox” clearly made the Nine-Tailed somewhat displeased, but it still answered: “That’s right.”
Naruto felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He could finally get something out of this guy’s mouth.
So he went directly into the dark and damp Mental Space and asked: “Then do you know who my parents are?
And the Jutsu on my stomach…” Get faster updates on g.com.
“Wait.” The Nine-Tailed interrupted the questioning, “You don’t have that many bargaining chips.”
“It’s better to tell me what I want to know first, then I can answer your other questions.”
Naruto thought for a moment and nodded: “It’s very simple, it’s Magic.”
The Nine-Tailed froze for a moment, then let out a sneer: “Magic again?
Your joke is not funny!”
As soon as the words fell, a huge claw slammed heavily against the iron bars.
Naruto’s body shook slightly, but he wasn’t afraid.
Having been back in Konoha for over a year, he also knew that this was just his own Mental Space.
No matter how powerful the Nine-Tailed was, it couldn’t hurt him.
“I’ve already said it.” Naruto’s tone was very calm, “Things from the Magic World are real.”
“I also know Magic, it’s just that for certain reasons, it’s temporarily inconvenient to use and practice it in Konoha Village.”
This was the truth.
When he first came back, Naruto discovered someone was monitoring him.
As for who sent them, he had a rough idea.
Moreover, before figuring out everything in this world, it was better not to expose the matter of Magic.
Over these years by Heiter’s side, Naruto had learned many lessons.
One of them was: ‘People won’t be nice to you for no reason, nor will they hate you for no reason.’
There must be some reason behind the attitude of the people in Konoha Village toward him.
Old Man Third treated him well, but he also hid too many things.
After listening, the Nine-Tailed was silent for a while, then mocked: “Inconvenient to use?
Then what proof do you have?
Just by that broken piece of wood?”
Naruto didn’t get angry.
He knew the Nine-Tailed was talking about that staff.
That is just an auxiliary tool.
Although he and Fern currently still needed a staff to make their Magic more powerful and precise, Frieren occasionally used Magic without a staff as well.
What is truly important is mana, and imagination.
As long as one can imagine it, Magic can be realized.
So Naruto extended his right hand, palm facing up: “If I can cast real Magic, you must tell me everything you know.”
The Nine-Tailed sneered and answered quite readily: “Of course, no problem.”
“If it’s fake, from now on, not only will you not gain my trust…”
“I will also interfere with your training.”
The Nine-Tailed clearly didn’t think Naruto could do it.
Naruto didn’t reply, just quietly felt the mana within his body, and recalled the long-range attack Magic he had practiced for many years.
Subsequently, in the palm of his right hand, white light began to condense.
It was not Chakra.
It was pure mana.
The beam of light became brighter and brighter, increasingly solid.
Then…
Naruto raised his hand, aiming at the direction of the iron cage imprisoning the Nine-Tailed.
The beam shot out from his palm, slamming straight into the iron bars.
“Bang!”
A deafening sound echoed within the Mental Space.
The Nine-Tailed was stunned.
It lowered its head, looking at the slightly shattered mark on the iron bars.
No Chakra.
Not even a single trace.
What kind of power was that?
The Nine-Tailed withdrew its gaze, staring fixedly at Naruto, and asked with an uncertain tone: “Is this really…”
“Magic?”
Naruto withdrew his hand, looking calmly at the puzzled Kurama, and said: “Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise.
I believe you should be able to feel that this is not Ninjutsu.”
