"Naruto... come on, let's go inside and talk!"
When Genya saw Naruto Uzumaki arrive, a spark of excitement flashed in his Dual Pupils. He grabbed Naruto and led him inside. Before entering, he called out, "Uncle Shin, prepare a big meal!"
Genya was actually even more excited than Naruto when he saw him.
Although he had promised not to go looking for Naruto, Naruto would sometimes come to visit him.
It was about once a week.
Every time, Genya welcomed him warmly, and they always had a great time chatting.
Even the Third Hokage couldn't stop it. After all, Naruto was still young, and the more he was restricted, the more he would rebel. However, they had agreed that Naruto could come once a week.
Every time Naruto came, he would always be followed by a group of Anbu ninjas.
Lately, Genya had also benefited a lot from his conversations with Naruto.
"You don't know this, but Grandpa Hokage doesn't let me visit you. However, after he leaves, I secretly come!" Naruto said, pulling out a bag. "This is grilled fish from Grandpa Hokage. It smells great, you should try it!"
The two started talking.
It was still a pleasant conversation, talking about everything, and Naruto even mentioned inviting Genya to paint on the Hokage Rock, but Genya refused.
What a joke,
People like Naruto, who's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, can't paint on the Hokage Rock. The only one jumping around on that rock is Orochimaru!
If he went to paint, that old man, the Third Hokage, would definitely use it as a chance to criticize the Uchiha clan.
"Here, Naruto, drink this fruit wine I made!"
"Drink."
The fruit wine was brewed by Genya and was delicious. He even planned to sell it in Konoha to add another business to his commercial ventures.
Time passed!
Naruto's eyes started to blur, and his speech became a little slurred.
It had to be said, kids really couldn't handle alcohol that well.
Seeing Naruto looking a bit dazed, Genya finally said, "Naruto, look at my eyes!"
"Eyes... Genya, your eyes are still so beautiful. When will I have eyes like yours?" Naruto said with a smile, but suddenly his expression became blank.
It seemed like he had drunk too much.
In the mental space!
It was still the same vast, water-soaked area. Genya walked skillfully on the water surface, making his way to the sealed gate.
The Nine-Tails was lying on the water, taking a nap, seemingly unaware of Genya's arrival.
"Kurama, we meet again!" Genya smiled at the Nine-Tails, a look of reunion on his face.
Suddenly!
The Nine-Tails opened its eyes wide. When it saw Genya, its vertical pupils were filled with resentment.
It sprang up in an instant.
The Nine-Tails glared at Genya, taking two steps back. "You again, kid. Don't tell me you're here to steal my chakra again!"
There was no way around it. Since meeting this brat, every few days Genya would come to this mental space and use his black flames to consume its chakra.
The first few times, the Nine-Tails was enraged, but after realizing there was nothing it could do, it gave up and just sulked.
Each time Genya absorbed its chakra, the Nine-Tails would need some time to recover.
Just after it had recovered, here came this guy again.
The Nine-Tails was getting tired of Genya's persistence!
"You guessed it right!" Genya smiled at the Nine-Tails, still wearing that grin.
"Get lost!" The Nine-Tails was furious, but it made no move.
"Don't be so petty. After I absorb your chakra, you can recover!" Genya cheerfully tried to reason with the Nine-Tails, still grinning. "We should just sit and chat for a bit!"
As he spoke, black flames began to seep from his eyes, leaping toward the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails, seeing the black flames, instinctively wrapped them in red chakra to keep them contained, making the flames burn inside the chakra.
That kind of flame felt terrible to the Nine-Tails; it didn't like it.
However, it seemed to have accepted the chakra absorption by now. Even though Genya was openly stating his intention to steal its chakra, the Nine-Tails no longer reacted with anger like it used to.
"What happened to the Nine-Tails Demon King, the one abandoned and dumped by the ruthless girl?" The Nine-Tails calmly looked at Genya, a hint of anticipation in its vertical pupils. "Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side. Don't underestimate the young Nine-Tails!"
These days, Genya hadn't just been absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra. He would occasionally tell the Nine-Tails stories as well.
For example, the story of the young Nine-Tails being rejected in marriage, oppressed, and sealed. In short, it's a story where the Nine-Tails beast turns the tables and becomes the ultimate powerhouse.
The Nine-Tails was listening intently.
"Speaking of which, after the young Nine-Tails was rejected in marriage, he resolutely began cultivating. He obtained a ring... and inside that ring was an old man." Then, Genya, with nothing to do, started telling stories to the Nine-Tails.
In simple terms, it's a story just like "Battle Through the Heavens" but with the protagonist being the Nine-Tails Fox.
The Nine-Tails was also fascinated, imagining in his mind scenes where he breaks the seal, works hard, and steps on Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama under his paws.
If the black flame beside him touched his body, he would consciously release a large amount of red chakra to let the black flame devour it.
Time in the mental world passed slowly. Genya spoke leisurely for a long time. When he saw that the Nine-Tails seemed a bit worn out, he withdrew the black flame.
"Kurama, I'm leaving!" Genya stood up and started walking off.
"You're leaving so soon?" The Nine-Tails, having its chakra drained, was surprisingly reluctant.
"Yes, don't try to keep me!" Genya waved his hand, clearly refusing.
"Wait, you just made the Nine-Tails Demon King attack the Yunlan Demon Sect. What happens next?" The Nine-Tails suddenly stood up, anxious.
Genya waved his hand again: "I'll continue the story when we meet next time. For now, goodbye. You should rest well!"
With that, his mental power began to dissipate, returning to his consciousness.
"You brat, don't let me see you again!" In the sealed space, the Nine-Tails cursed. Just when things were getting exciting, that brat had left.
It made the Nine-Tails feel a bit itchy inside.
Genya checked the time. He had been in the mental space for about ten minutes, and Naruto, slightly drunk, had fallen asleep nearby.
It seemed that the alcohol was still lingering in his system.
At this moment, Genya crossed his legs and sat down, his eyes flashing with dark light, and his pupils glowed with warmth. He could feel his eyes growing stronger little by little.
This time,
He absorbed the energy from the Black Flame for a full quarter of an hour.
It was the most chakra from the Nine-Tails he had absorbed yet. He could feel an energy continuously nourishing his body, enhancing his physical strength. Also, his eyes became even brighter as they refined the chakra.
Using the Dual Pupil ability!
He felt that now his Dual Pupil could observe up to two or three kilometers around him.
Heh, it's much more satisfying to take advantage of the Nine-Tails' chakra. The energy he absorbed and refined this time was equivalent to a year of intense training for Genya.
He'll need to interact with Naruto more in the future. Interact!
As Genya was thinking about the future, two Anbu ninjas walked in.
