Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina

Land of Earth, Iwagakure.

Kitsuchi entered the Tsuchikage's office, holding a sealed document.

"Father, this is the latest intelligence report."

Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, took it with a frown. As he opened it, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"This... This is..."

The tailed beast from Kirigakure was gone too.

The report mentioned a shinobi named Kurama.

And that Kurama had been spotted frequently near Konohagakure.

The conclusion was undeniable—Kurama was from Konoha.

Konoha again.

Boom!

Onoki slammed his fist on the desk, splintering it into pieces.

"Damn it... My back!" he groaned, clutching his waist. The jolt of anger had reawakened his chronic pain.

Kitsuchi, standing at the side, had a vein twitching on his forehead.

"Konoha... They already have the Nine-Tails, the strongest bijuu. Isn't that enough? Now they're stealing the tailed beasts of other villages. I've never seen a more greedy shinobi village."

Onoki seethed, teeth clenched.

It wasn't just Kirigakure's Six-Tails. His own village's Four-Tails, Rōshi, and Five-Tails, Han, had both gone missing too.

And this Kurama was connected to it all.

A single shinobi... Taking down jinchūriki. It was absurd. Terrifying.

"Father, should we declare war on Konoha?" Kitsuchi asked, hesitant but determined.

War?

Onoki frowned, pondering the possibilities.

Now wasn't the time. Iwagakure was weakened. Without their tailed beasts, they would stand no chance alone.

But Kirigakure had also lost its bijuu.

And the same with Kumogakure. The tailed beasts were vanishing.

Konoha had made enemies of all three.

A spark ignited in Onoki's mind.

If the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning joined forces...

Even Konoha wouldn't be able to withstand that level of pressure.

Boom.

He slammed his right fist into his left palm.

"Kitsuchi. Send word to the Mizukage and Raikage. We propose an alliance between Iwa, Kiri, and Kumo. It's time the Three Great Nations unite against Konoha."

"Understood!" Kitsuchi replied, energy renewed.

Never before in shinobi history had three Great Nations banded together in war. Two, perhaps. But three?

This would bring Konoha to its knees.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain—Amegakure.

Akatsuki's base.

Yahiko stood at the balcony, his gaze distant, unreadable.

Behind him, Nagato and Konan approached.

Worry lined Konan's face.

"Yahiko... Are you really going to negotiate with Hanzō?"

Yahiko nodded slowly. "Yes, Konan, Nagato. We came from war. We know what it does. We know the pain. I don't want our people to suffer again.

I believe Hanzō values peace, too. As the leader of this nation, he must care about stability."

There were only six days left before the scheduled peace negotiations with Amegakure's leadership.

But the meeting was a trap.

In the Land of Fire—Konoha Village. Root Base.

Kurama sat upon a stone chair, eyes half-lidded in thought.

Danzo knelt before him on one knee, head bowed.

"Lord Kurama, all arrangements in the Rain Village have been made."

Kurama nodded approvingly.

"Good. I knew I could count on you."

"This is my specialty, Lord Kurama," Danzo replied with that familiar, icy calm.

It had been Danzo who manipulated Hanzō. Fearful of Akatsuki's rising power, Hanzō agreed to propose peace, only to set a trap.

A trap born of Danzo's and Hanzō's mutual paranoia.

They even sounded alike.

Kurama had his own plans for the Rain.

The Gedo Statue.

It, too, was one of his targets.

Back at the Hokage Office, Kurama was reporting to Tsunade.

He summarized what happened in Mist.

Tsunade, however, didn't look particularly shocked.

"You took the Six-Tails? Alone? That's just another Tuesday for you, isn't it?"

Kurama raised a brow.

"You're not surprised?"

"Why would I be? You're my man. Of course you'd pull it off."

There was a subtle smirk on her face.

Tsunade circled around him, arms crossed, her golden eyes narrowing.

"Tell me the truth, Kurama. Did you go to Kirigakure to snag a beautiful kunoichi?"

Kurama froze.

His heartbeat skipped. Women's intuition really was scary.

Terumi Mei. The red-haired bombshell Mizukage. She had been more than just diplomatic with him.

But there was no proof.

Kurama straightened his back.

"Master Hokage, please don't slander my pure intentions."

Tsunade sniffed him.

"You smell like perfume. Feminine. Sweet."

Kurama's heart raced.

He had only returned yesterday!

Surely the scent was gone.

Tsunade had a nose like a bloodhound.

Kurama was about to come clean when her tone softened.

"Well, whatever. You're still mine. And you did your job well."

Kurama blinked.

She'd been testing him. Damn.

"Kushina's cooking tonight. Want to join for dinner?"

Tsunade tilted her head, gaze sharp.

"It's only afternoon, you know."

Kurama chuckled awkwardly.

Between Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto, he was constantly on edge.

The moment Tsunade's lips curled, he knew she was plotting something.

He waved a hand in front of her.

No reaction.

"Oi, Hokage-sama, you spacing out?"

Still nothing.

He pinched her waist.

"Ow! Bastard!"

Tsunade glared.

"What kind of man are you, pinching a woman in her own office?"

"Well, you weren't responding. I thought your soul left your body."

"Tch... Lucky for you I still feel pain."

Kurama smirked.

Tsunade pinched him back, twice as hard.

He winced.

She rolled her eyes and walked away, satisfied.

But Kurama wasn't done.

His eyes gleamed.

"You're not busy right now, are you, Hokage-sama? Why not keep me company for a bit longer?"

"Pervert..."

She tried to argue, but his persistence wore her down.

Time passed. The afternoon faded into night.

Meanwhile, at the Uzumaki residence, things were peaceful.

With Karura now helping around the house, Kushina had more free time and was in better spirits.

A few days later.

Rain Country.

Kurama, Danzo, and several Root members arrived silently.

The gloomy sky hung low, a perfect match for what was about to unfold.

"Lord Kurama," Danzo asked, "Should we arrange a meeting with Hanzō?"

"No. Let things proceed as planned."

Danzo bowed.

"Understood."

Kurama remained in the shadows.

He preferred to watch first—to let the tiger and the dragon clash, and see who came out alive.

The confrontation between Akatsuki and Hanzō was about to begin.

And while everyone expected Hanzō to win...

Kurama had just tipped the scales.

The civil war in the Rain had just gotten a whole lot messier.
