Forced to sell misery

"Tick-tock." It's the sound of water drops falling on the ground.

"Brother Jingye, where are you?" Naruto was running in the winding corridor, panting with exhaustion.

"Come here, come to me—"

"Who?" Naruto was surprised.

"Come to me, I will give you what you want..." said the empty voice in a seductive tone.

"What did you say?" Naruto asked loudly, looking around in surprise.

But the voice no longer responded.

After simply identifying the direction, Naruto ran in one direction based on his feeling.

"Good boy, come to me—"

"You--" The water under his feet rippled and Naruto stopped. He looked up and saw a huge door with a sealing symbol with the word "Seal" written on it... To be precise, this was a huge cage.

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet animal eyes appeared before Naruto's eyes——

"It's so big!" Naruto widened his eyes in surprise, "This is..."

"Come closer, kid."

Naruto took a few steps forward, and a huge claw suddenly stabbed at him, but was blocked by the door. Naruto was startled, and when he dodged backwards, he fell into the water. He stared blankly at the huge fox behind the door.

"You... are the gift that my parents left for me that Big Brother Jingye mentioned? No, you're a companion... that's not right... Anyway, you're a proud and arrogant big fox..."

"What did you say?" A huge claw slammed on the door again, and Kyuubi's expression became more ferocious and terrifying, "Do you want to die?

…Although I want to eat you, I can’t open the door, damn seal—”

"seal?"

"Hey, kid, did you see that note? Tear it up and I'll grant you all your wishes—"

"Can I wish for anything?"

"...Of course." The Nine-Tailed Fox hesitated. The human who could stand before it was just praying for strength.

"Then, can you tell me where Brother Jingye is now?" Naruto hesitated.

"Oh, by the way, I also want to know where my parents are. Although, although Brother Jingye said that they must have met with an accident... But, since any wish can be fulfilled, then please let me see my parents!"

"..." Nine-Tailed Fox fell into strange silence.

“Hahahaha, haha, hahaha, didn’t you say that any wish can be fulfilled? Are you going to break your promise, Kurama?”

"You!" Like a fox with its fur standing on end, Nine-Tailed Fox arched its back and glared at him fiercely.

"You use your strength to fool a 7-year-old kid. So, are you this kind of Nine-Tails?" Jing Ye waded through the water and walked over, stopping in front of the Nine-Tails.

"Long time no see, Nine-Tails, Kurama."

"You are... the kid from the Uchiha family?" Kyuubi narrowed his eyes. He still remembered this kid, a human kid who actually knew his own name and said some inexplicable words. Has he grown up so much?

"Yes."

"I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative. What's the matter?" Jiuwei stared at Jingye for a while, then lay back down.

“……”A “井” character suddenly appeared on Jing Ye’s forehead.

It made him seem like he had gone through so much trouble to meet this stinky fox just to ask for something... Well, he did ask for something.

But this guy Kurama... is really, very arrogant.

"Hey, Kurama, you know the power of the Sharingan... right?" Jing Ye didn't waste any more words.

"Are you threatening me?" Jiuwei looked at Jingye with a grim look.

"How dare I?" Jing Ye sighed and began to fool around.

"I have the power to go back to the past and see the future. Do you want to know the future that I see?"

"In the future, Naruto will grow up to be the person who changes everything. This is the trust of the Sage of Six Paths."

"What did you say?" The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly became furious, revealing its sharp teeth, and slammed the door with its huge claws, as if it would break out in the next second.

Sure enough, it is a taboo.

Protecting Naruto behind him, Jing Ye sighed with a headache. This tsundere fox was a little difficult to deal with.

"It is indeed the will of the Six Paths Sage. There is no need for me to lie to you, so don't do anything that you will regret."

"You, how do you know about the Sage of Six Paths?" Nine-Tail narrowed his eyes.

"These eyes told me." Jing Ye looked at Jiu Lama,

So, what's a bet? I'm betting on the future I see.

Let Naruto's eyes become your eyes, let Naruto's power become your power, let Naruto's dream become your dream.

Jiu Lama, try to change.

Even a powerful Kurama needs companions, right?"

"Hahaha, haha, funny, you actually want to treat us tailed beasts as companions?" The Nine-Tails laughed, "Naive and arrogant little brat."

"What's wrong?"

"Impossible, don't try to seduce me with sweet words."

"Besides, you actually want me to approve of a seven-year-old kid—are you kidding me?!"

The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto who was hiding behind Jing Ye with disdain, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"I don't want to use force, Kuroko. I don't have much time."

Jing Ye's eyes dimmed. It was just a simple test and he was not accepted... As expected, the current Kurama was not moved by Naruto's persistence and still hated Naruto and Konoha who bound him...

"You can try it." Jiu Lama stood up and looked down at Jing Ye.

"That's what you said." Jing Ye's body floated up and came to the sealing symbol on the door. He turned his head and said to Naruto, "Stand back, Naruto."

"Brother Jingye?" Naruto looked back and forth between Jingye and the Nine-Tails with fear in his eyes.

No way? No way!

Are you really going to let this super-ferocious fox out?!

"You... are interesting!" Nine-Tailed Fox stared at Jing Ye without blinking. It didn't believe that the human in front of it would really open the seal.

Jing Ye smiled and stretched out his hand——

However, at the moment when Jing Ye's hand touched the sealing talisman, a hand reached out, grabbed his wrist, and both of them fell down together.

"you……"

"Long time no see, Mr. Minato." Jing Ye smiled with his white teeth.

"You are..." Naruto widened his eyes as he looked at Minato who suddenly appeared, "The Fourth Hokage, my...father?"

"Yes." Minato looked at Naruto, "Although I knew that we would meet again one day, I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

"Wait a moment, Naruto, I... will explain to you." Looking at Naruto apologetically, Minato knew that it was more important to deal with the person who touched the seal of the Nine-Tails right now.

"Why do you want to touch this forbidden power?" Minato frowned and looked at Jing Ye, a little surprised, "You... are that child... from Fugaku-kun's family--"

"Uchiha Kagami." Kagami stood up. "Although I know it will be troublesome to explain, but - I still need to gain your approval."

"What did you say?" Minato squeezed Jing Ye's wrist. Obviously, everything that happened now was beyond his expectations.

"The power of my Sharingan has the power to see the future."

Jing Ye paused, and suddenly wanted to laugh, "But not only that, I can also let you see your future self, Minato-sensei... No, the current you is just the Fourth Hokage who sacrificed himself to protect the village during the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

"What do you mean?" Minato was obviously angry.

"I can't explain it anyway, so you should solve it yourself—"

Spiritual space,

Jing Ye pushed the soul body's Minato out——

"It's just a matter of facing the chakra consciousness that I left behind. I believe that Minato-sensei can handle it. Besides, didn't you promise to help me? Then the rest is up to you, Minato-sensei."

"Wait, I..." But before he could finish, he was pushed out by Jing Ye -

The space twisted for a moment, and a figure appeared in front of everyone——

Minato opened his eyes and looked at himself, Naruto beside him, and Kurama who was watching the fun from inside the door. He felt his head throbbing with pain, "As expected..."

"You..." Minato was shocked when he saw another self suddenly appear outside.

"Eh?" Naruto was completely confused. He looked at this one and then that one, and shouted in despair, "Two...two fathers?!"

"Interesting..." Nine Tails was also surprised, then showed an expression of watching a good show and slowly climbed down.

Minato sighed, looking at himself in front of him and gave an awkward smile, "I know it's a little hard to believe, but... I can explain it."
