Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes.

"The price of life..."

This is terrible ninja world.

It's really bad.

Naruto's house

"Am I going to die too?"

Naruto didn't have much fear of death in his heart, but more worry.

I am worried whether Hinata and Himawari can withstand the huge blow after hearing the news of his death in the future.

First Boruto, then him...

Hinata might be even more miserable than he is on that screen.

Hinata, who lost her son and husband, is still alive, and for Himawari, she must also live.

Live in pain.

Jiraiya forced an ugly smile on his face.

"How could that be? You are the savior of the ninja world, the child of prophecy. You won't die so easily."

"Oh."

Naruto was not very happy when he was comforted.

In a small village somewhere in the Ninja World.

"Damn it! If things go as expected, the enemy will be a threat to the entire ninja world. But Naruto would rather give up his own life and is determined to defeat the enemy."

The young man next to this man slammed his thigh hard and said unwillingly: "All of us are useless and can only wait for others to protect us! Including those ninjas from the five major countries!"

"That's right! What Jonin! What Four Kage! Facing the future crisis, only Naruto and Sasuke can bear all the pressure!"

"If Naruto dies, the Nine-Tails will die too, right? Even so, the Nine-Tails has no complaints. We in the ninja world owe them too much."

"We didn't even have the chance to thank them in person..."

Next scene

Naruto looked around.

【here it is……】

Kyuubi's voice came from behind him.

[Hey. I'm here, Naruto.]

Naruto looked back at the Nine-Tails, who was lying on the ground with his chin resting on his arms.

【Nine Lamas.】

[…Is that so? I’ve already…]

Jiuwei looked ahead absentmindedly and said: [Time is running out. ]

[It seems so. ]

Hearing Naruto's calm tone, Kyuubi said: [You are surprisingly calm. ]

[It's too late to panic now. Besides, I'm already satisfied to see them defeat the Otsutsuki with my own eyes.]

At this, a smile appeared on Naruto's face.

But I don’t know what he was thinking about, the smile on his face faded slightly.

[My only regret is that I couldn't say goodbye to Himawari and Hinata. ]

[I don’t need to worry about Boruto and Kawaki anymore, even if I’m not around anymore…]

Kyuubi said: [Indeed, after talking to Kawaki, I know that he is not a bad kid.]

Naruto's house

Naruto said to the Nine-Tails as if jokingly: "It seems that you, the big fox, sometimes misjudge people."

sealed space

Kyuubi did not answer his question, but asked: "Although you are not Boruto's father yet, I really want to know, do you hate Kawaki who killed Boruto?"

Hearing this, Naruto was startled.

He lowered his head and said, "I don't know. But the hatred is real."

"If I have become Boruto's father, and I see Boruto die in front of me, I dare not imagine how painful it would be. For me, I would rather die in Boruto's place."

Kyuubi said: "Things are not as simple as they seem. Kawaki won't insist on killing Boruto without any reason. I just hope the situation isn't too complicated."

Naruto's attitude remains firm: No matter why Kawaki killed Boruto, I hate him. "

"But I never thought that I would end up getting you killed along with me... Sorry, big fox."

Kyuubi shook his head.

"This is the first time I've heard a human apologize to me, but it's too early for you to say that."

Naruto was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

on screen

Naruto asked curiously: [Have you talked to him? How come I don't know? ]

Jiuwei explained: [I chatted with him for a few words while you were asleep. ]

【What did you talk about with him? Tell me quickly. 】

This time, Kyuubi had no intention of explaining it to him.

It closed its eyes and said perfunctorily: [Just chatting, nothing much to say.]

[Really? But Boruto and Kawaki are like real brothers. They thrive under the stimulation of each other.]

Kyuubi asked: [Just like you and Sasuke? ]

Naruto laughed and said: [It’s hard for me to say, he has a brother named Itachi.]

Speaking of this, Naruto looked a little regretful.

[I also fantasized about having a brother. ]

[But…]

Naruto looked towards the Nine-Tails.

【I already have you by my side. 】

Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto continued: [In a sense, the relationship between us even exceeds that of brothers.]

[Think about it, I have been dependent on you since I was born. ]

There seemed to be a change in Naruto in the Nine-Tails' eyes.

From the lonely child who was hated by the villagers and always sat on the swing, he turned into a lively boy who had just become a ninja. Then the boy grew up little by little and turned back into the Hokage in front of us who was loved by the villagers and was ready to sacrifice himself to protect the village and his family.

Jiuwei laughed and said with some regret: [Heh, what are you sad about? It's not like you at all. But this is the last time, I will talk to you about the past. ]

[I am a collection of hatred. Even if I was sealed into your body when you were born, the hatred boiling in my chest cannot be eliminated.]

[It will also leak out when you are in an excited mood. This has happened more than once or twice.]

Naruto also said: [Although I was once avoided by everyone because of this power, but at the same time, Kurama, you also helped me a lot. ]

[Humans are only interested in the power of the tailed beasts. When it comes to us tailed beasts, we always call them Eight-Tailed or Nine-Tailed. But you are the only one who is different. You are the only one who calls us by our names.]

After saying that, Kyuubi moved his head and changed the direction of his pillow.

Naruto smiled and said to it: "I still remember the scene when you told me your name. I was so happy at that time."

[Besides, if you hadn't helped me, I don't know how many times I would have lost. ]

The Nine-Tails raised its head and looked at Naruto: [At least in the end, we both tricked the Otsutsuki together, so we don't have to be useless dead dogs. Foxes are canines, you know.]

Naruto looked at it helplessly: [What a dead dog, don't tell jokes at this time. ]

Jiuwei laughed and said, "We are all going to die, what's the harm in making a joke?"

Hearing what Kyuubi said, Naruto also laughed heartily.

The Nine-Tails, infected by Naruto's laughter, also laughed.

Kyuubi stood up while laughing.

After laughing, the Nine-Tails stretched out his fist towards Naruto.

Naruto also stretched out his fist and bumped it against its huge fist.

The Nine-Tails said: [Naruto, I am really happy to walk this journey with you.]

【I also had a great time. 】
