After leaving the duel arena, Gu Xingxi heard the system's voice in his mind.
"Due to your recent performance, the admiration of the female spectators has earned you an additional two thousand points. Since you owe the system one thousand, one thousand remains," the system informed.
Gu Xingxi: ⊙▽⊙ "Got it. I should show off more often—no wonder Tobirama likes to."
Gu Xingxi was planning to purchase another item from the system store when a yellow flash approached him.
It was Minato. Although he hadn't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at this time, his Body Flicker Technique was exceptionally fast.
"Hello, I'm Minato Namikaze. Could I take a look at your device?" Minato greeted him upon arrival.
Gu Xingxi thought, (Why does everyone fancy my 3D Maneuver Gear?) However, he greeted Minato politely.
"I'm Uchiha Gu Xingxi. This is the 3D Maneuver Gear. Feel free to look, but it's not easy to take off."
Minato hastily waved his hand, "No worries, I can just look." He then observed the grappling hooks, blades, gas, and the mechanics of how it all connected.
Gu Xingxi thought, (No wonder he's called 'The Yellow Flash.' His observational skills are exceptional. But for the sake of my plan, you really need to die. There are still 12 years until the Nine-Tails incident; you can live those 12 years, and I'll make it up to you a bit during that time.)
After his examination, Minato asked, "Can we form a team?"
"It's unlikely," Gu Xingxi replied, "because my clan has already chosen members for me."
Minato scratched his head and gave an awkward smile, "I see. Well, can we at least be friends?"
Gu Xingxi thought, (Minato, you're determined to connect with me, huh? Though I wish otherwise, you're already with Kushina Uzumaki. As the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, she must die, and you, as her husband, can't escape that fate either.)
"Of course, we can be friends, but I have some errands to run. Goodbye for now." Gu Xingxi then flew away using his 3D Maneuver Gear.
Minato also went to find Kushina Uzumaki.
Gu Xingxi arrived in a forest, found a clearing, and sat down to open the system store. He intended to exchange for the Sage Mode, which would be very beneficial both early on and in later stages.
However, after searching for a while, he didn't find it but instead discovered Qingqiu's celestial fox, Bai Qian.
Puzzled, Gu Xingxi asked, "System, is this a summoning beast?"
"Yes, if you exchange for it, not only will Bai Qian provide you with chakra from Sage Mode, but you can also summon her as a beast," the system explained.
Gu Xingxi exclaimed, "Damn, this is basically a better version of the Nine-Tails! Hurry up and exchange it for me."
"Received. The exchange is in progress, 1000 points have been used, and the exchange is successful. Please check," the system confirmed.
Gu Xingxi noticed a four-item sealing charm on his stomach.
"It seems to have worked. Let's enter the consciousness space and take a look," Gu Xingxi said, then entered his mental space.
In this white expanse, he saw a white nine-tailed fox in the distance, its tails and eyes tinged with a subtle red, enchantingly beautiful, and no cage was present.
"You are my new contract master?" Bai Qian asked.
"Yes, goddess," Gu Xingxi replied.
"There's no need to be so formal. Call me Xiao Bai or by my name," Bai Qian suggested.
"Xiao Bai, can you come out?" Gu Xingxi asked.
"I can often appear as a little fox, but if you summon me, I'll appear in my full form," she explained.
"Let's give it a try. Let me see your full size," Gu Xingxi said as he left the consciousness space and began forming hand seals, slapping the ground with his finger.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
A cloud of smoke appeared, and when it cleared, Bai Qian in her full form was revealed.
"How about that? Pretty imposing, right?" Bai Qian boasted.
Gu Xingxi, in awe, remarked, "You're even bigger than the Nine-Tails. But wait, this massive chakra... It's similar to the Nine-Tails. The village's sensor ninjas will notice."
Indeed, as Gu Xingxi had anticipated, the Anbu detected the enormous chakra and immediately reported it to the Third Hokage, who quickly mobilized towards the location.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails inside Kushina sensed it too.
"Why is there a tailed beast's chakra so similar to mine?" the Nine-Tails wondered.
It immediately informed Kushina, who was out shopping with Minato. Thinking it might be an attack from another village, she quickly informed Minato, and they both rushed to the scene.
