Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Naruto’s Confusion
While Tony was preparing to escape, Naruto was watching the entire *Naruto* series. Thanks to the chat group, he finished all 720 episodes in no time.
By the time he was done, Naruto was lying on his bed, crying.
He had learned the truth about his past. He saw his parents. His parents were heroes of Konoha. His father was the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato! He finally understood why people called him the Nine-Tails demon fox. Now, he knew everything.
But knowing everything only made him feel even more lost. He didn't know what to do. Right now, he had no power to change anything.
He opened the chat group.
"Big bro, what should I do? I want my mom and dad!"
Yang Tao saw Naruto's message and tried to comfort him.
"Naruto, looks like you finished the series and learned about your parents. In your world, strength is everything. You haven't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, so you need to focus on getting stronger.
You're the reincarnation of Asura, and you also have the Nine-Tails as your personal battery. As long as he doesn't interfere, with your Uzumaki bloodline, you should be able to refine chakra pretty fast. Try talking to Kurama and see if you can work something out."
"Also, in your world, reviving people isn't impossible. Once you're strong enough, you can bring your parents back."
Naruto nodded. That made sense.
"Thanks, big bro. I know what to do now. I'll try to talk to Kurama first."
"No problem. If you ever need anything, just let me know. Oh, and one more thing—don't tell anyone about the chat group. Keep this to yourself, got it?"
Naruto obediently replied, "Got it, big bro! I won't tell anyone. Alright, I'm going to talk to Kurama now. Let's chat again later. Bye!"
After exiting the chat group, Naruto sat cross-legged in his small apartment, closed his eyes, and tried to connect with the Nine-Tails inside him.
After what felt like a long time, he suddenly found himself in a dark, sewer-like place.
He knew this was where the Nine-Tails was sealed. The dim lighting, the damp floor covered in water—it all gave off a cold, eerie feeling.
Naruto stood in front of the giant cage when suddenly, a sharp claw shot out toward him, stopping just a meter away.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still startled by the massive claw.
"Brat, come closer so I can kill you," Kurama growled from behind the bars.
Naruto took a deep breath and steadied himself.
"Kurama, can you stop interfering with my chakra training? I need to get stronger."
Kurama's eyes narrowed. "How do you know my name? And why should I listen to you?"
"Kurama, I need power to bring my parents back. I promise I'll find a way to set you free, but not yet."
Kurama's expression shifted as his mind raced. This brat… he seemed to know a lot more than he should.
"Hmph, bringing your parents back? Do you even know who they are?" Kurama tested him.
Hearing this, Naruto lowered his head. His voice was low and heavy.
"I know who they are. My father was the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. My mother was Uzumaki Kushina. They died because of you."
Kurama fell silent, unsure how to respond.
Naruto continued, "Kurama, I don't hate you. You were just a tool being controlled. I will get revenge. But for now, will you help me?"
Kurama's mind flashed back to the night Naruto was born—the night he was controlled by the Mangekyō Sharingan. Rage surged through him.
"That bastard… I'll kill him!"
