His spirit directly arrived in a huge water prison. A huge prison gate entered his sight. From the darkness, a pair of large red eyes emerged, staring intently at Uchiha Ryosuke.
"The hateful Uchiha's evil aura. I didn't expect that someone from the Uchiha clan could open these eyes again."
Back then, he was controlled by Uchiha Madara to attack Senju Hashirama, and later was controlled by a masked man to assault Konoha Village, reduced to a puppet.
Thinking of this, he angrily stretched out his claws, wanting to directly pierce through the person before him, but was blocked by the iron pillars.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke saw the other party's full appearance—a gigantic demon fox with nine huge tails behind it. 'So this is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?:
"Can I ask you to stop interfering with Naruto's training?"
The Nine-Tails grinned and laughed. "So you came for that brat? As the container sealing me, restricting my freedom, do you think I would let him have it easy?"
"Don't be foolish."
Hearing the demon fox's words, Ryosuke understood that it was determined to disrupt Naruto's training.
He didn't know sealing techniques and couldn't strengthen the seal to prevent the demon fox from interfering with Naruto's training.
Looking at the demon fox, he could only threaten, "Aren't you afraid that I'll destroy you?"
Hearing the words of this Uchiha clansman, the Nine-Tails was momentarily stunned, then immediately sneered with mockery. "From your body, I do sense an extremely powerful aura, but isn't it a bit too arrogant to say you'll destroy me? Besides, isn't the reason you humans sealed me away to use my power? Such despicable humans."
Ryosuke felt that the other party's words made a lot of sense—he actually couldn't refute them.
In this space, he hadn't come with his real body, so he naturally couldn't destroy the other party. His strongest technique, the Eight Gates Release, was completely useless here.
The demon fox had probably realized this, which is why it was acting so arrogantly.
As for controlling the power of the Nine-Tails, Ryosuke had no interest in that at all.
The power of the Nine-Tails was only slightly stronger than the Eight-Tails, but with his current physical attributes, if he opened the Eight Gates Release, he could probably kick the Eight-Tails flying. He had no need for the demon fox's power.
Moreover, his chakra reserves were growing as he matured, and surpassing a Tailed Beast in the future wasn't impossible.
He slowly said, "In that case, let's make a deal. If you stop interfering with Naruto's training, then in the future, when I get the chance, I can release you and return your freedom."
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox laughed. "That's rare. You actually don't want my power? But even if you're willing to release me in the future, the Jinchuriki will die because of it. You seem to care a lot about that brat, don't you?"
"Even so, would you still release me? And aren't you afraid that once I'm free, I'll take revenge on Konoha?"
Ryosuke simply smiled. "Afraid of your revenge? With your ability, you should be able to sense another Tailed Beast's presence in the Uchiha clan's territory, right?"
"That's one I captured and brought back. I even captured the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki, though he managed to escape."
"As for a way to release your seal without harming the Jinchuriki, that's not impossible either. If you could be sealed, then naturally, there is a way to unseal you."
He wasn't worried about this at all. At worst, he'd go find Orochimaru in the future. Though that guy was an ambiguous character, perhaps he could be negotiated with.
Even if negotiation failed, he could still use force to make him serve him.
Orochimaru was a master of forbidden techniques—developing a way to safely release a seal without harm might be difficult, but not impossible.
The demon fox carefully sensed the Uchiha territory. Unexpectedly, it really did detect a similar presence. It seemed to be the Two-Tails, Matatabi.
Since the Tailed Beasts were originally one entity split apart, they could naturally sense each other.
And the other party had even let the Eight-Tails go—was that a lie?
"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?"
Ryosuke spoke seriously. "I make this deal with you in the name of the Uchiha clan. I will also show you something later."
After speaking, his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
The Nine-Tails was shocked, 'Such powerful ocular prowess!' Even through the seal, he could still cast an illusion on him.
'A terrifying brat, just like Uchiha Madara back then.'
His vision darkened, and he fell into an illusion.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed.
A man wielding multiple swords was surrounded by the Eight-Tails' chakra, instantly transforming into the Eight-Tails Bull Demon. This was indeed the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki.
He hadn't expected that guy to willingly let a human use his power—how disgraceful for a Tailed Beast.
Right in front of the fully transformed Eight-Tails stood a human figure, rushing straight at the Jinchuriki and slashing him apart, forcefully pulling the Jinchuriki out of the Eight-Tails.
Witnessing this, the Nine-Tails was shaken.
In reality, a fully transformed Jinchuriki's strength was not much different from the original Tailed Beast. Yet even such a powerful being had been directly defeated.
When the other party said he could destroy him, he wasn't entirely lying. Though difficult, it was possible.
Even more shocking was that the technique the other party had used was likely the Eight Gates Release. He hadn't expected that in this era, someone could still master such a technique, and to such an extent.
The scene changed again, and he returned to the prison, staring in shock at the person before him.
Ryosuke smiled. "Well? Are you interested in making a deal now?"
The Nine-Tails thought for a moment. "Naturally, I can agree. But if you deceive me in the future, I won't let the Jinchuriki use even a sliver of chakra. With my interference, the Jinchuriki won't be able to gather chakra and may even lose his sanity."
Ryosuke's face darkened. "I don't like threats like that. Don't act so arrogant in the future. I can find a way to drag you out and kill you—it would just take some time."
After speaking, he exited the space.
The Nine-Tails, left behind, was filled with displeasure.
The arrogant Uchiha clan! This brat actually wanted to kill him—that was even worse than Uchiha Madara and that masked man.
But deep inside, he was worried. The other party wasn't wrong—he had assumed Ryosuke was just a very strong human.
But it turned out he was that strong. Even the Eight-Tails was no match for him—how could he deal with such an opponent?
With that thought, he withdrew all the chakra he had spread out, thus fulfilling the deal with the Uchiha who had just entered.
And now, his Jinchuriki should be able to use chakra.
———
Returning to reality, Ryosuke was met with Fugaku's question. "You went to see the Nine-Tails?"
Ryosuke answered. "Of course. It was his interference that kept Naruto from controlling his energy."
"Naruto, try again."
Naruto prepared to try. The demon fox—was that the monster sealed inside him, taking away his freedom?
Following Uncle Fugaku's method, he controlled his body's energy and combined it with chakra.
A small wisp of chakra appeared in his meridians.
Even Fugaku couldn't help but say, "What a genius, even if it's just a little chakra."
