Naruto: I don't want to work hard anymore

Chapter 3 Nine Lamas

Life in Konoha is boring, but also quite leisurely.

If you ignore the villagers' cold eyes and pointing fingers every time you go out, this place is actually quite suitable for living.

A few months passed slowly, and Naruto still went back and forth between home and the forest every day.

Occasionally, Shikamaru and the other two would come to see him, and the three of them would barbecue together by the river.

In the beginning, it was Naruto who went hunting and fishing, but later on the three of them would bring some food from home, or prepare lunch boxes, so Naruto was able to have a few proper meals.

Because winter was approaching, Naruto also hunted a lot of wild boars, bisons, and rabbits, and placed them on his terrace to dry as food reserves for the winter.

Although the small apartment is shabby, Naruto still likes the small terrace that comes with it. It is very convenient for hanging clothes and dried meat.

In his stomach, the Nine-Tailed Fox was still steadily eroding the seal. Besides storing food, Naruto's happiest thing every day was watching his own chakra grow stronger little by little.

According to Kagura's mind's perception, the amount of chakra he has now reached is almost equal to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox in his stomach!

In this way, when he was eight years old, he had the chakra of a whole Nine-Tails, when he was twelve years old, he had one and a half, and when Kaguya released it at the age of sixteen, he had two complete Nine-Tails.

Of course, this amount of chakra is also very obvious. To a perceptive ninja, it is like fireworks exploding in the dark. It is no longer a matter of being bright and outstanding.

The Uzumaki clan has a way to hide their chakra. Although Naruto cannot use it for the time being, fortunately, it seems that no one has come to investigate him so far. At least Naruto has not discovered any actions from the top leaders, and there is still only one Anbu monitoring him.

Therefore, as long as you don't have nothing else to do and go into the barrier to play, you will basically not be noticed.

However, others don't know, but the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's belly is very aware of Naruto's changes.

As his chakra amount continued to expand, one night, he was finally pulled into a sealed space by the Nine-Tails.

Looking at the huge and ferocious demon fox behind the sealed portal, Naruto couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes full of amazement.

How did he manage to fit such a big thing into his body?

Clang——

The sharp fox claws stretched out from the door, and the fingertips rubbed against the railing, creating a burst of dazzling sparks.

"Hey, kid, come here!"

"Why do I look like a fool?"

Naruto scratched his hair, and the man and the fox looked at each other for a few seconds. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

"Hmph, cunning little human..."

"You are obviously deceiving me..."

Looking at Naruto's puzzled expression, Nine-Tails' emotions became incoherent for a moment.

It originally wanted to scare this stupid human cub and ask why the other party had its chakra, but it turned out that the kid was not afraid at all.

"Isn't he really an ordinary kid..."

Kyuubi crouched down, lying behind the door, squinting at the little kid in front of him: "Hey, kid, why do you have my chakra on you?"

Naruto pondered for a few seconds: "Maybe... maybe... maybe... it's because you are inside me?"

"That's not what I'm asking you!!"

The giant fox behind the door roared in frustration: "I am talking about you! Why is the nature of your chakra exactly the same as mine? Why do you, a human being, have such a huge amount of tailed beast chakra! Do you think I am as stupid as those guys in Konoha, you little brat!!"

The giant fox's roar brought up gusts of wind, which blew Naruto back two steps.

"Haha, I've been discovered..."

Naruto smiled and spread his hands, not hiding too much: "All external energy that has a negative impact on me will be completely neutralized and copied to me. You can understand it this way."

It is not difficult to see from the original plot that the minimum requirement for dealing with the tailed beasts is to be honest.

And the reason why he can accumulate so much chakra is thanks to the Nine-Tailed Fox's constant erosion of the seal and disruption of his chakra.

As his own chakra grows, such things as taking advantage of others will be discovered sooner or later, so it is better to be honest and cooperate for mutual benefit. After all, there is no conflict of interest between him and the Nine-Tailed Fox, so the possibility of cooperation is still very high.

Kyuubi's pupils shrank suddenly: "This is impossible!"

"But the facts are already before you."

Naruto spread out his palm, and a small sapling emerged from his palm: "Three people left chakra on me, my parents, and a guy with the ability of wood escape."

"Wood escape..."

Kyuubi narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with fear.

Using Wood Release and Diamond Block, if we really wait for this brat to grow up, won’t we hang him up and beat him?
Looking at the small sapling in Naruto's palm, Nine-Tails couldn't help but think of a certain hypocritical guy who said something like "Nine-Tails, you are too strong", and then said something to it... Damn it, let's not mention it!

However, the chakra of the little kid in front of it did give it a very familiar feeling a long time ago.

It has the flavor of a four-generation couple, and...that kid Ashura?
Thinking of this, Jiuwei snorted coldly: "Why did you tell me this? What on earth are you planning, little brat?"

"I'm going to let you go."

As soon as Naruto spoke, the Kyuubi was stunned. "Of course, not now."

Naruto raised his hand to signal the Nine-Tails to be quiet first, and explained: "One day I will leave Konoha, walk around, take a look, and then find a beautiful place to live quietly. Before that, I need the power to support this freedom."

"You are very powerful, but there is nothing in this world stronger than human greed. Keeping you with me will only bring me unnecessary trouble, so it is better to say that I am freeing myself rather than releasing you."

"Humph, that sounds very high-sounding..."

Kyuubi narrowed his eyes and snorted disdainfully: "Aren't you also coveting my chakra? Why should I trust you?"

Naruto clumsily made a few seals, and with a hiss, the sealing paper on the door instantly turned to ashes.

"The seal requires a key to open, but as the seal becomes weaker and weaker, your ability should be enough to break free. And I have your chakra, so even if you break free of the seal, I will not die."

Naruto said frankly: "I just need you to continue disrupting my chakra. As a token of sincerity, I will not reinforce the seal, nor will I restrict your movements. In ten years at most, I will definitely let you out."

Looking at the sealing talisman paper that turned into ashes, Kyuubi widened his eyes in shock.

No, kid, are you serious?

"Naive guy..."

Behind the gate, the Nine-Tails sat up, shook its head like a big dog, then narrowed its eyes and looked down at Naruto condescendingly.

"Although I don't know why a little brat like you knows so many things, but if that's the case, it shouldn't be difficult for you to know that your parents died because of me, right?"

"Besides... since you stole my chakra, you should be able to feel it even more, right? The overwhelming malice outside! Your unfortunate life is all caused by me, little brat!"

"So should I be hysterical? Or burst into tears?"

Naruto burst out laughing: "Come to think of it, you have watched me grow up... well, not yet grown up. Do you think that with my personality, I will acknowledge those so-called parents? As for malice..."

Naruto snorted, his disdain evident in his words.

"Humph, you cold-blooded brat!"

"Wulu Sai, you were the one who brought up this topic first."

Naruto spread his hands and said, "And I don't feel that I have any misfortune. Although this may sound a bit strange, if I have to say whether I am lucky or not, it seems that my greatest luck so far is meeting you."

"Lucky…?"

Kyuubi was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard some funny joke.

"Interesting kid! Are you lucky... Well, since you are so flattering, I don't mind playing with you!"

Naruto blinked and said, "You seem very happy?"

"Wulusai! I'll kill you, you little brat!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to have its butt burned. It let out a roar and started yelling, grabbing the cage.

"Look at you, you're so anxious..."

Naruto chuckled and said, "It's a deal then. If you continue to disrupt my chakra, I will set you free within ten years."

"Remember what you said, kid."

The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto deeply, then slowly bent down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Why did you lie down again?"

Naruto approached the sealed door and looked eagerly at the big fox in front of him.

"Don't be so cold. We are comrades with the same goal, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What's your name? It can't be Kyuubi, right?"

"Let's talk, Mr. Kyuubi—"

The little devil is really annoying...

Kyuubi shook his ears impatiently and turned his head away.

Even though Naruto is so close to it, this is a sealed space and the seal is not opened yet. Even if it really claws Naruto, the most he will suffer is mental trauma and he will just sleep for a few days.

When this kid wakes up, it will be the one that suffers.

The damned little brat is not very old, but his chakra is already equal to that of the tailed beast, and he took all of it from him...

Seeing that the Nine-Tails remained silent, Naruto fell to the ground and rolled around in boredom.

It was not until I was about to fall asleep that I could vaguely hear the deep voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Ku Lama...remember my name, little devil..."

"Proud."

Naruto muttered something, and his consciousness left the sealed space in a trance. In his dream, he could vaguely hear the angry roar of a big fox.
