"What exactly happened that made the legendary strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, let go of its grudge against Konohagakure and completely entrust itself to a Konohagakure ninja?"
A hint of hidden worry flashed in Jiraiya's eyes, but his face didn't change much.
"Don't rush, kid."
Kurama grinned, using Naruto's body but with a strange evil feeling, he turned to look at Naruto:
"Naruto, you go to the destination first, don't eavesdrop."
Naruto's expectant eyes instantly retracted, he turned around angrily and left, complaining as he walked:
"Tch, what's the big deal."
Watching Naruto completely disappear, Kurama's smile slightly faded, his eyes gradually turning cold.
He turned to Jiraiya:
"I still hate Konohagakure, kid, but you're right, this matter can't be solved just because I hate Konohagakure, I need your help."
The mighty Nine-Tails actually said it needed a human's help? Jiraiya was shocked. Although he had never seen the Nine-Tails, he had heard of its reputation. Most importantly, Kushina was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, and she had never mentioned the Nine-Tails being like this.
Kurama looked at Jiraiya's expression and almost rolled his eyes, but fortunately, he remembered to maintain his image:
"Some things are far beyond your imagination, and some things will also involve us tailed beasts. Not just me, all the tailed beasts will understand in the end."
Jiraiya seemed to understand something:
"You want to reconcile the tailed beasts and humans to live in peace?"
"None of my business!"
Kurama said disdainfully,
"We tailed beasts hate humans, that will never change. Live in peace with humans? I don't know about the other eight, but I definitely can't."
The conflict between the Tailed Beasts and humans can never be resolved. This is a historical issue. Unless everyone in the future treats the Tailed Beasts sincerely like Naruto, it's just nonsense.
In Boruto, Shukaku faced the threat of Otsutsuki but still didn't want to fight alongside humans. Shukaku didn't want to die, but being absorbed by Otsutsuki wouldn't kill him either. At most, he'd be weak for a few hundred years. Didn't you see that Gyuki was drained and still fine?
In the end, if it weren't for Gaara and Naruto convincing Shukaku, he wouldn't have agreed to be put into a teapot.
In short, the Tailed Beasts in Boruto are willing to trust Naruto because of his promise to them. They gained freedom because of Naruto's promise and naturally will keep their promise not to harm humans. But this only applies to Naruto. As for others... who are they? They don't know them.
In short, the Tailed Beasts hate humans. Until the end, they still hate humans except for Naruto. Peaceful coexistence is absolutely impossible. At most, they just stay out of each other's way.
Jiraiya also understood what Kurama meant. His face darkened slightly.
"If it's not that, then what do you want to tell me?"
"The Ten-Tails."
Kurama crossed his arms without any pretense.
"The legendary Divine Tree, the origin of chakra. Have you heard of it?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, and he felt a chill on his scalp.
"The Ten-Tails? Isn't there only nine Tailed Beasts in the ninja world? Is there a stronger Tailed Beast sealed somewhere?"
"Not quite, but you're generally right."
Kurama sat down on a nearby rock.
"Thousands of years ago, the Sage of Six Paths defeated the Ten-Tails, extracted its power, and divided it into nine parts, forming the nine Tailed Beasts. He sealed its body on the moon, and the nine parts of its power became us, the nine Tailed Beasts."
"The origin of the Tailed Beasts..."
Jiraiya's expression was uncertain.
"Not just that."
Kurama glanced at him and continued,
"After that, the Sage of Six Paths also divided his own power, forming the ninja sect of that time. Now, this power is what you call... chakra."
Jiraiya knew about this. There were indeed legends of the Sage of Six Paths in the ninja world. It was said that the Sage of Six Paths distributed chakra to others, and it was passed down and became the ninjas of today.
Most people wouldn't believe such things. Jiraiya didn't believe it either. But now, the one saying this was a Tailed Beast, a creature that had lived for an unknown number of years. Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shock. He felt that what he was about to hear next might be extremely shocking.
"Someone wants to revive the Ten-Tails now."
Kurama grinned.
"Once the Ten-Tails is revived, it will take back all the chakra in this world. Do I need to tell you what will happen to those whose chakra is absorbed?"
"They will die."
Jiraiya nodded grimly.
Chakra is a mix of a ninja's physical and spiritual energy. It represents a person's body and soul. If chakra is extracted, the physical and spiritual energy will disappear. How can someone who has lost their body and soul
still alive?
It's like having their life force directly taken away, leaving only an empty shell.
Jiraiya took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and asked,
"Who wants to do this? What's their goal? To destroy the world?"
"You've heard this person's name."
Kurama's eyes turned cold, and a powerful killing intent flowed around him.
"Uchiha... Madara."
"His goal is simple, for peace."
Kurama's mouth was full of disdain as he said this.
Maintaining peace through illusions, using ideals to persuade others, Uchiha Madara, this bastard, is getting worse as he lives longer.
Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank, and he clenched his fists tightly. Even with his experience, he didn't know how to respond at that moment. He could only swallow to ease his inner unease.
"Uchiha Madara... he's already dead. He died in the battle with the First Hokage. And how do you know all this?"
Kurama had been sealed in Konohagakure for a long time, from Mito to Kushina, and now to Naruto. Kurama had no chance to contact the outside world. If he didn't give a reason, Jiraiya would think Kurama was just trying to scare him.
"Heh, I don't need to answer that question."
Kurama's words were sarcastic.
"And whether these things are true, you'll soon find out. The organization called 'Akatsuki' is Uchiha Madara's backup plan. You'll soon meet two members of Akatsuki. They are coming to Konohagakure to find my location because their plan to capture the Tailed Beasts is about to start."
Jiraiya looked at Kurama in silence. Rationally, he thought the chances of these things being true were very slim.
At that moment, Kurama suddenly grinned.
"By the way, the leader of Akatsuki is an orphan of the Uzumaki clan named Nagato, and there's someone called Konan who is known as the angel."
"What did you say!!!"
Jiraiya couldn't believe it. He took a big step forward to Kurama, his eyes full of urgency.
"Nagato and Konan? They're still alive?"
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, three old names, were a permanent pain in Jiraiya's heart. He had regretted more than once. If he hadn't taken them as disciples, if they hadn't met him, would the outcome have been completely different?
