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

The Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.

Even though the Third Raikage had always placed unconditional trust in Kurama, the recent battle still left him in awe.

After all, the opponents Kurama faced were none other than the legends of the shinobi world: Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

The sheer scale of Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands was overwhelming. Even the Raikage's ultimate defense, his Lightning Release: Chakra Mode at full power, wouldn't last a second against that.

But Kurama withstood it.

The Raikage chuckled bitterly at the memory.

He had always believed Kurama was powerful—a force of nature, even. But to defeat Hashirama and Madara not in a grueling fight, but in a dominant, decisive victory?

That was something he never anticipated.

Whether it was Hashirama alone, Madara alone, or the two of them combined, they couldn't even dent Kurama's composure. They were utterly annihilated.

The Raikage exhaled slowly. "Phew."

Fortunately, Kumogakure maintained friendly relations with Kurama. They had provided intelligence on tailed beasts multiple times, and refrained from provoking Konoha. With Kurama residing there, that was the smartest move they ever made.

There was no more ambiguity in the state of the shinobi world.

Sunagakure's sudden disappearance in the Wind Country? No one questioned it now—the Third Raikage knew deep down it was Kurama's doing.

Same with the annihilation of Amegakure and the confirmed death of Hanzō of the Salamander.

Kurama had rewritten the hierarchy of the entire ninja world by himself.

Even Hashirama, the man revered as the God of Shinobi, had never altered the balance to this degree. He brought peace at the first Five Kage Summit—Kurama dismantled old powers with force.

Now, that same Hashirama had been utterly demolished by Kurama.

If Hashirama was the God of Shinobi, Kurama was something beyond that—a force the world could no longer define.

The Land of Water, Kirigakure.

The Mist-nin were breathing easy now. Every one of them still remembered when Kurama stormed their village alone to claim the Six-Tails.

That sun-blocking Tailed Beast Bomb still haunted their memories. If they hadn't handed over the Six-Tails, Kirigakure would have been erased from the map.

Now, after witnessing the battle through the celestial light screen, the terror of Kurama's might was refreshed in their minds.

Kurama faced the joint might of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama... and crushed them.

Effortlessly.

Not even a drop of sweat.

Was that even his full power? Or just a fraction?

Even at their strongest, Madara and Hashirama failed to bring out Kurama's limits. That realization chilled the hearts of even the bravest Mist-nin.

And his Susanoo—

Black as void, towering over a thousand meters tall. A true titan.

Even a hardened Kage like the Third Raikage would be frozen in fear before it.

If a single swing from its blade could cleave mountains, what hope did average shinobi have?

Watching the battle, the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, couldn't help but smirk faintly.

"Tch. What a shameless brute," she whispered.

The Land of Fire, Konohagakure.

A week had passed since the battle.

The entire village was buzzing with chatter and awe.

But Kurama? He was lounging lazily at home, indifferent to the chaos outside.

Until a familiar figure walked through the door.

Fifth Hokage Tsunade.

Kurama lay sprawled across his couch, completely relaxed.

Tsunade crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow.

"Living the life, huh?"

Kurama smirked. "You know me. Gotta enjoy the peace while it lasts."

"I had some free time," Tsunade said, stepping closer. "So I figured I should finally visit the hero of the world."

She felt a mix of guilt and admiration. Since the war ended, she hadn't found the time to check in on Kurama. The man who singlehandedly stopped the Infinite Tsukuyomi and saved the world.

And most impressively, defeated her grandfather and Madara when they were reanimated.

Seeing her grandfather fight alongside Madara had nearly made her heart stop.

She wanted to be there, to fight beside Kurama, to witness history.

She expected Kurama to struggle—

But instead, he dismantled two legends like they were nothing.

She bit her lip, a sly smile creeping up as she looked at him.

She reached out and ran her hands over his chest.

"Let me check if you're injured."

"Please. You think that could hurt me?"

Kurama caught her wrist, yanked her forward, and pulled her into his lap.

"I did take out your uncle and great-uncle, you know. You gonna punish me?"

Tsunade blinked.

Then it hit her.

Uncle and great-uncle... Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

She snorted.

"They were corpses brought back with Edo Tensei. Who cares? You did us a favor."

She poked his chest hard.

"But you, Kurama... you're way beyond anything I imagined."

Kurama grinned. "Now you get it."

"I always knew you were strong," she said. "But this? This is terrifying."

Kurama just leaned back smugly.

No need for words. His power spoke for itself.

Meanwhile, the final battle between Kurama and Uchiha Obito had never been shown in its entirety.

The light screen vanished before the end.

But Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto knew the truth.

Kurama had obliterated Obito.

Mikoto, head of the Uchiha clan, had complicated feelings about that.

Obito was one of their own. As clan leader, some of the blame fell on her shoulders.

But Kurama's gentle reassurance had lifted that weight.

He told her she didn't need to bear it alone.

"If you're not happy leading, then don't."

She blushed.

Kurama always knew the right thing to say—or not say.

She wasn't alone. Tsunade, Kushina, Hikari—they all shared something with Kurama.

A bond beyond words.

And Kurama? He was just enjoying the calm before the storm.

Because he knew it wasn't over.

A new threat loomed.

Something darker.

Something watching from the shadows.

Zetsu.

That name echoed in their minds.

Not a man, not a ninja.

A parasite. A manipulator. A whisper in the ear of fate.

Kurama had sensed it. The war was only a prologue.

The real enemy hadn't shown its face yet.
