Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The pub was full of people, but the people were all very happy.

"Good! Sexy! Fairy!" Naruto kicked the door of the tavern open, rushed to Jiraiya with a face full of anger, and said without saying a word, "You actually left me on the street and ignored me! I was exposed there for a whole day! I was almost dried into a dried fish! Even Kurama was laughing at me!"

"I'm being hunted down now! Those guys are more dangerous than each other! You actually left me there and ignored me!" Naruto's face turned red with anger, "The most important thing is! You actually took my wallet! You didn't leave me a penny! I was hungry for a whole day! ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Jiraiya, who was shocked, did not answer Naruto's words, but stared at the cards in his hand, with a look of doubting his life with his mouth wide open.

Naruto, who was cursing vigorously, was also stunned when he saw this. The curses in his heart were instantly forgotten, and only an inexplicable curiosity remained.

He crawled to Jiraiya's side and looked at the cards in Jiraiya's hand: "What are you looking at, you lecherous sage?"

Jiraiya's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand to drive Naruto away in annoyance: "Go away, what do you know as a child."

As he said, he threw Naruto's toad wallet to Naruto: "Your wallet, go buy food by yourself, don't bother me."

Naruto caught the wallet in a daze, but since the wallet was back, it was okay. He hadn't eaten all day, so he had to prepare something delicious.

"Could this brat be Kushina's child?" Tsunade looked at Naruto's back with a strange expression. She didn't know what to say for a while, but after a moment, she frowned slightly: "How did he get so badly injured? What did he do?"

Jiraiya sighed and threw the cards back on the table, "He is indeed the child of Minato and Kushina. The main purpose of coming out this time is also for him. I hope you can help him heal his injuries."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya without saying anything, picked up the wine glass and drank two sips.

Jiraiya was also helpless: "Tsunade, Naruto overused the power of the Nine-Tails to protect the village, causing his body to be eroded by the tailed beast chakra. The entire Konoha medical team can't treat him. Only you can save him."

Tsunade paused in drinking: "For the village?"

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded, "Just like Minato and Kushina."

"Who taught this brat the power of the Nine-Tails?" Tsunade's tone seemed to hide something.

She didn't believe that a kid could take the initiative to contact the tailed beasts without anyone teaching them. After all, in Konoha now, the new generation of ninjas don't even know what the tailed beasts are, let alone master the power of the Nine-Tails.

Jiraiya was silent for a while, and then slowly replied after a long while: "It's me."

"Heh..." Tsunade sneered, with a sarcastic look on her face, "You are really a good master. The three kids from the Rain Country died because of your so-called noble character. Minato and Kushina also died because of your selfishness. Kushina finally had a child, but it was also because of you that she was dying. Looking at the injuries of this kid, if it wasn't for good luck, he would have died long ago."

Tsunade lay on the sofa, her eyes full of sarcasm: "I really don't know how you are going to explain to Kushina if this kid dies."

Jiraiya was silent and didn't answer.

Because this is the truth.

If I hadn't taught Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan ninjutsu, perhaps they wouldn't have died in the Rain Country for the so-called peace. If I hadn't chased Orochimaru for my own selfish desires, but stayed in Konoha waiting for Kushina to give birth, perhaps the Nine-Tails wouldn't have caused that kind of damage.

If I hadn't taught Naruto to communicate with the tailed beasts a month ago, maybe Naruto wouldn't have won the battle with Hyuga Neji, or maybe he wouldn't have been so seriously injured.

Jiraiya lowered his head: "If it happens again, I will still make the same choice."

Regret, but it's useless, because if it happens again, Jiraiya knows that he will still make the same choice. This is himself, an indecisive and impulsive Jiraiya.

In front of others, he is the immortal of Myoboku Mountain, but in front of Tsunade and Orochimaru, he is just a tail-end who drags his feet.

"Ridiculous." Tsunade picked up the bottle and drank two mouthfuls of wine.

It's really ridiculous, Jiraiya's face is bitter: "Just think of it as Naruto himself, Minato and Kushina... and me, Tsunade, please treat Naruto."

Not for Konoha, nor for the ninja world, but for Naruto himself, for Minato and Kushina, and for Jiraiya, he hopes Tsunade can save Naruto.

Tsunade drank it sip by sip.

Drinking wine, looking out the window with a gradually blurred look.

At this moment, Naruto ran to Jiraiya again, holding up an empty wallet and crying: "Lecherous Sage!!! You actually spent all my money! You only left me twenty taels!"

"You don't even give me a hundred!"

"Lecherous Sage! You have no heart!!!"

The sad and melodious cry resounded throughout the tavern, making countless people who were drunk turn their heads to look.

"Puff~" Tsunade suddenly laughed, like a water lotus blooming under the moonlight, shining like an angel under the moonlight and the blurred lights outside the window. At this moment, Tsunade seemed to have found her former self, the self that might not be very naive but absolutely true.

"Lecherous Sage, it really suits you." Tsunade's smiling face was so beautiful that Jiraiya was a little stunned at this moment.

It is never the wine that intoxicates people, but perhaps it is the thoughts, the feeling at that moment, the beloved girl sitting opposite, or perhaps...

It is the words of a certain straight man.

Naruto (with a straight face): "Who are you, beautiful lady?"

...

Outside Tansho Street, a man who looks exactly like Naruto stands there, looking at the lights in Tansho Street with a somewhat funny smile, golden hair, rough beard, sharp nails, and eyes like a beast.

Yes, this is Naruto's shadow clone, and also Kurama.

Kurama clenched his fist: "Well, the strength is barely enough, just using my chakra a little bit should not cause this shadow clone to collapse."

As he said, Kurama looked into the distance: "But Naruto, this guy already had the chakra of the Six Paths old man when he was a child, it seems that my prediction about this guy is a little conservative."

Yes, Kurama found the chakra hidden in Naruto's body, belonging to another person.

Not Ashura, but the Six Paths old man.

No wonder the old man of the Six Paths in the future could talk to Naruto so easily. It turns out that this chakra has existed since the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra's chakras. It just happened that when it came to Naruto and Sasuke's generation, the old man of the Six Paths noticed signs of reconciliation between the two, so he took the initiative to show up.
