Chapter 57
The two of them were very close.
"What on earth could make the legendary strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tailed Beast, put aside his grudge against Konoha and give himself to a Konoha ninja without reservation?" Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a hint of obscure worry, but his face did not change much.
"Don't be impatient, kid." Kurama grinned. Although he was using Naruto's body, he felt an inexplicable evil. He turned his head and looked at Naruto: "Naruto, go to your destination first, don't eavesdrop."
Naruto's expectant eyes were instantly retracted, and the whole person turned away angrily, complaining as he walked: "Tsk, what's the big deal."
Watching Naruto completely disappear, the smile on Kurama's face slowed down a little, and his eyes gradually became cold.
He turned to look at Jiraiya: "I still hate Konoha, kid, but you are right. This matter cannot be solved by my hatred of Konoha. I need your help."
The Nine-Tails actually said to a human that he needed his help? Jiraiya was shocked. Although he had never seen the Nine-Tails, he had heard of its reputation. The most important thing was that Kushina was the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki at the time, and he had never heard Kushina say that the Nine-Tails was like this.
Kurama almost rolled his eyes at Jiraiya's appearance, but fortunately he remembered to maintain his B-style: "Some things are far beyond your imagination, and some things will also involve our tailed beasts. Not only me, but all the tailed beasts will understand in the end."
Jiraiya seemed to understand something: "You want to reconcile the tailed beasts and humans so that both sides can coexist peacefully?"
"It's none of my business!" Kurama said disdainfully, "We tailed beasts hate humans, and this will never change. Coexist peacefully with humans? I don't know about the remaining eight, but I absolutely can't."
The contradiction between the tailed beasts and humans can never be reconciled. This is a historical legacy. Unless everyone in the future treats the tailed beasts sincerely like Naruto, otherwise it's just bullshit.
In Boruto, Shukaku is unwilling to fight alongside humans in the face of the threat of Otsutsuki. Shukaku doesn't want to die, but he won't die if his chakra is absorbed by Otsutsuki. At most, he will be weak for a few hundred years. Didn't you see that the Ushi-ki was sucked dry? It's okay.
If Gaara and Naruto hadn't appeared to convince Shukaku in the end, he wouldn't have been willing to be put into a teapot.
In short, the tailed beasts in Boruto are willing to believe in Naruto. They are free because of Naruto's promise, and they will naturally abide by Naruto's promise not to harm humans, but only when facing Naruto. Who are the others? I don't know them.
In short, the tailed beasts hate humans, and until the end they still hate humans other than Naruto. It is absolutely impossible for them to live in peace. At most, they will not interfere with each other.
Jiraiya also understood what Kurama meant, and his face sank slightly: "If it's not this, then what do you want to tell me?"
"Ten Tails." Kurama crossed his arms and said without any intention of beating around the bush, "Have you heard of the legendary sacred tree, the origin of chakra?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, and his scalp felt a little numb: "Ten Tails? Aren't there only nine tailed beasts in the ninja world? Is there a more powerful tailed beast sealed somewhere?"
"Not quite right, but the general direction is right." Kurama walked to a stone nearby and sat down, "Thousands of years ago, the Six Paths Sage defeated the Ten Tails, extracted its power and divided it into nine parts, forming the nine tailed beasts, and sealed its body on the moon, and these nine parts of power formed our nine tailed beasts."
"The origin of the tailed beasts..." Jiraiya's face was uncertain.
"More than that." Kurama glanced at him and continued, "After that, the Six Paths Sage also divided his power to form the Shinobi Sect at that time, and now this power is called... Chakra by you now."
Jiraiya knew this. There is indeed a legend of the Six Paths Sage in the ninja world. It probably means that the Six Paths Sage divided the chakra to other people, and then it continued to spread and became the current ninja.
Most people would not think that such things are true, and Jiraiya did not believe it, but the person who said this now is a tailed beast, a tailed beast that has lived for who knows how many years. Jiraiya couldn't help but feel depressed. He felt that what he would hear next might be extremely shocking.
"Now someone wants to revive the Ten Tails." Kurama smiled, "Once the Ten Tails is resurrected, it will take back all the chakra in the world. I don't need to tell you what will happen to the people whose chakras are absorbed, right?
"
"You will die." Jiraiya nodded and replied with a gloomy face.
Chakra is a mixture of a ninja's physical energy and spiritual energy, which represents the body and soul of the person. If the chakra is extracted, the physical energy and spiritual energy disappear. How can a person who has lost his body and soul survive?
This is equivalent to the vitality being directly extracted, leaving only an empty shell.
Jiraiya took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart and asked: "Who wants to do this? What is his purpose? Destroy the world?"
"You have heard of this person's name." Kurama's eyes turned cold, and a strong murderous aura flowed around him, "Uchiha... Madara."
"That guy's purpose is also very simple, for peace. "When he said this, Kurama's mouth was full of disdain.
Uchiha Madara, this bastard, is going backwards by relying on illusions to maintain peace and ideals to act as a lobbyist.
Jiraiya's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands clenched tightly. Even with his knowledge, he felt that he didn't know how to speak at this moment. He could only swallow his saliva to relieve his inner uneasiness: "Uchiha Madara... He is dead. He died in the battle with the first Hokage, and why do you know this?"
Kuruma has been sealed by Konoha for a long time. From the beginning of Mito-sama to Kushina, and now Naruto, Kurama has no chance to contact the outside world. If he doesn't tell a reason, Jiraiya will only think that Kurama is exaggerating.
"Heh, I don't need to answer your question. "Kurouma's words were full of sarcasm, "Whether these things are true, you will soon get the answer. The organization called 'Akatsuki' is the backup left by Uchiha Madara. Next, you will meet two of the Akatsuki organization. Their purpose of coming to Konoha is to determine my location, because their tailed beast capture plan is about to begin. "
Jiraiya looked at Kurama in silence, and reason told him that the possibility of these things being true was very small.
Just then, Kurama suddenly grinned and laughed: "By the way, the leader of the Akatsuki organization is an orphan of the Uzumaki clan named Nagato, and there is a person called an angel named Konan."
"What did you say!!!" Jiraiya couldn't believe it at all. He strode forward to Kurama, his eyes full of anxiety, "Nagato and Konan? Are they still alive?"
Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, three ancient names, are also an eternal pain in Jiraiya's heart. He has regretted more than once. If he hadn't accepted the three as disciples, if they hadn't met him, would the ending be completely different.
