Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

The Nine-Tailed Fox, or rather Kurama, was all too familiar with the Uchiha Clan.

If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, how would it have ended up as a summoned beast and then been locked away by a Sealing Technique?

Originally, it was free and could do whatever it wanted.

Until Madara Uchiha tamed it with his Mangekyo Sharingan and took it to fight Hashirama Senju.

What the hell!

It thought it was invincible in the world after the Sage of Six Paths died. It thought Madara Uchiha only relied on a pair of eyes, but it didn't expect there to be someone like Hashirama Senju.

One guy caught it and Madara Uchiha and gave them a good thrashing.

In this battle, it began to doubt its existence. No, it began to doubt its life as a fox.

If that were all, it would be okay. It could just die and come back as a good fox after eighteen years.

But unexpectedly, Hashirama Senju said to it, "Your Force is too strong and it needs to be sealed."

What the hell! Could you move the Wood Release that's pressing on me first when you say that!

Then Mito Uzumaki directly sealed it in her belly.

For decades, it saw no daylight.

Under the powerful effect of the Sealing Technique, it didn't even have a chance to take a peek at the beautiful world outside.

Not even a single glance.

It's really heart - wrenching, enough to move anyone who hears or sees it.

But fortunately, in recent years, it felt Mito Uzumaki's life gradually fading away, and the seal began to loosen.

Kurama knew its chance had come.

As long as it took advantage of the time when the Jinchuriki was being replaced, it might be able to escape.

It had thought of everything and was even imagining its future free life.

Then it met Mikoto.

That familiar and powerful eye power.

It's still the same old Mangekyo Sharingan, just the same thing in a different form.

Go to hell!

In an instant, Kurama's face contorted in anger. Its nine tails thrashed about wildly. Its mouth widened, and the Chakra all over its body slammed against the seal.

With Mito Uzumaki's death, her seal lost the supply of Chakra.

Just then, its vision blurred, and it was transported from indoors to outdoors.

Looking at the boundless world, it was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand what had happened.

It immediately put its doubts aside and ran towards freedom.

"No!"

Kurama's body trembled. The eye power that could restrain it was gradually flooding its mind.

In just a few seconds, it would lose control of its body and become a puppet again.

Thinking of its past misery, it struggled desperately, but it was of no use.

The huge body of the Nine-Tailed Fox was hanging still in the air.

This scene fell into the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his face was full of disbelief.

He didn't understand how Mikoto could control the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The might and invincibility of the Nine-Tailed Fox were well-known to everyone.

It was simply not an opponent that a ninja could defeat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but look at Mikoto and was immediately attracted by her completely different eyes.

His heart was greatly shaken.

He remembered some long - standing records. After the establishment of Konoha, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju turned against each other and had an earth - shattering battle in the Valley of the End.

At that time, Madara Uchiha summoned the Nine-Tailed Fox and drove it to fight with him.

Could it be that Mikoto had reached the level of her ancestors?

"What kind of Sharingan is this?"

Hokage-sama, it's your turn to step forward.

He finally understood why Mikoto could become the Clan Leader.

With eyes capable of controlling the Nine - Tailed Fox, the Uchiha Clan is nothing!

But such a person was actually Haruki's apprentice.

He was truly speechless.

"The Mangekyo Sharingan."

Haruki didn't conceal it. After all, he was speaking to a dying man. "It's a special eye that evolves from the Three - Tomoe Sharingan, possessing a powerful force that's hard to resist. Madara Uchiha in the past also had a pair of these eyes."

"As I thought."

Haruki's answer confirmed his suspicion.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed with emotion and asked, "At the beginning, Mikoto didn't show much talent. How did you know she had such terrifying potential?"

"Didn't Tobirama Senju tell you?"

Haruki detected his confusion and smiled. "The secret to the Uchiha Clan awakening their Sharingan lies in gaining and then losing love. It's the stimulation of emotions, not much related to talent."

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

Mentioning Tobirama Senju, he indeed recalled his teacher's research.

But it wasn't written so clearly.

However, after Haruki's explanation, he understood.

"No wonder the teacher was so on guard against the Uchiha Clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Mikoto and said, "People who lose love usually lose their sanity. Haruki, I don't know what you think, but I believe you understand this truth. How much damage can a powerful person who can't control their emotions cause?"

"I know."

Haruki nodded.

Theoretically, awakening the Sharingan has nothing to do with talent, but in reality, almost all those who can awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan are geniuses of the Uchiha Clan.

He wasn't too worried about the few individuals.

There would be many counter - measures in the future.

With a stunned look on his face, Haruki said, "The Nine - Tailed Fox escaped when the Jinchuriki was being changed. The Third Hokage sacrificed his life and used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to split the Nine - Tailed Fox into two, thus resolving the crisis."

"So that's how it is."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bit conflicted, but he didn't refuse and couldn't refuse.

"Let my death ensure the continuous inheritance of the Will of Fire."

He was like a torch - bearer.

He took the Shinigami Mask Haruki gave him and walked up to the immobilized Nine - Tailed Fox.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi formed the Hand Seal, a huge shadow of the Shinigami emerged behind him.

Oh!

The cold air instantly filled the area.

Kurama immediately sensed the terrifying malice.

Its body couldn't help but feel cold.

It actually felt a sense of danger.

But it could do nothing, only raging in helplessness.

The next moment, it felt as if its body and soul were being torn apart.

No, it wasn't a feeling; it was real.

It is being cut apart.

The intense pain made it go berserk.

But the Mangekyo Sharingan held it firmly in control.

Haruki watched the Shinigami as things unfolded according to his plan.

Just like Minato Namikaze in the original story, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to split the Nine - Tailed Fox into its Yin and Yang parts.

But how could he snatch the Yin Nine - Tailed Fox and Hiruzen Sarutobi's souls from the Shinigami?

There were very few ninjutsu related to souls.

Even if there were any, none could compare to the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Haruki could only find a way through his system.

He asked Tsunade for help again and got a chance to obtain a specified reward.

After Haruki provided the keyword "Shinigami", he thought he would get a ninjutsu similar to the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, but unexpectedly, he gained a very interesting ability.

Divine Authority.

The power of the gods.

In myths both ancient and modern, at home and abroad, gods had their own duties, and some had more than one.

For example, Zeus's most famous divine authority was to control lightning, while Odin had prophecy, kingship, wisdom, war, and death, etc.

Haruki obtained the divine authority of the underworld.

It sounded extremely powerful and abnormal, but it only worked on dead creatures, or rather, those from the underworld.

And the Shinigami was a creature from the underworld.

There wasn't much introduction about the pantheon in the original story, or it was a plot hole left by Kishimoto, which he forgot to fill.

This included Hidan's evil god.

But Haruki thought these gods didn't seem as powerful as he imagined.

The current Shinigami was indeed stronger than him in terms of soul, but only by a limited margin.

It was not like the gods in the Flowering Clan of his previous life, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, so powerful as to induce despair, and belonging to a different dimension of life.

He could sense that this Shinigami might not be more powerful than the Sage of Six Paths.

Of course, he had never seen the Sage of Six Paths, so there might be an error.

Haruki's divine authority came from Ereshkigal, the underworld goddess in Sumerian mythology, that is, Ere in FGO.

Her third skill is Underworld Protection.

In the game, it gave herself and her allies an increase in health, defense, and the ability to gain a Noble Phantasm equivalent to the ultimate skill's mana.

It was different in reality.

Simply put, it protected souls.

Haruki recalled his thoughts and raised his arm.

Golden light emerged from the surface of his skin and gradually formed an insignia in the shape of a cage made of spears.

The Shinigami, who was pulling the Yin Nine - Tailed Fox and Hiruzen Sarutobi's souls, suddenly turned his head in shock.

He felt a familiar yet strange aura.

It was of the same origin as him, but seemed more superior.

The spear cage flew out from Haruki's arm and covered the souls of the Yin Nine - Tailed Fox and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Shinigami stood there, stunned.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull them.

Haruki patted Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal immediately lost its hold.

The Shinigami glared hatefully at Haruki and finally dissipated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lay on the ground.

His soul couldn't be put back.

"Haruki, I hope you'll treat the Sarutobi Clan and the Shimura Clan well."

Hiruzen Sarutobi barely opened his eyes and said his last words.

Haruki now understood why he was so decisive. It turned out he had the idea of sacrificing himself to save the two ninja clans.

Even without Hiruzen Sarutobi's reminder, he wouldn't wipe them out.

In general, these two ninja clans had no reason to hate him.

Tanzo Shimura died under the pursuit of the Anbu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi died because of the Nine - Tailed Fox.

There was no need for Haruki to take down the two ninja clans.

Moreover, he was confident that they wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble. On the contrary, they might even support his policies.

After all, what Haruki and Tsunade were about to implement was not harmful to anyone or any ninja clan.

The soul of Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the Pure Land.

But the Nine - Tailed Fox was indeed split into two halves.

Haruki stroked his chin. The Yang Nine - Tailed Fox was controlled by Mikoto, and the Yin Nine - Tailed Fox was controlled by the spear cage.

The two Nine - Tailed Foxes had the same origin and the same thoughts. The current situation was similar to a Shadow Clone.

Which one should he start talking to first?

He looked at the Yang Nine - Tailed Fox.

He planned to seal it in the belly of Kushina Uzumaki.

In the original story, Kushina's Sealing Technique was not as good as Mito Uzumaki's. Therefore, the complete Nine - Tailed Fox could see the outside world from the inner space within her body (similar to a 'little dark room').

But if it was only half, it was estimated that the Nine - Tailed Fox's life would be very miserable.

However, Haruki's original intention was to make Kushina and the Nine - Tailed Fox reach a consensus and turn her into a perfect Jinchuriki.

After all, in the original story, Kushina didn't like or want to accept the fate of being a Jinchuriki at first. If it weren't for Mito Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, there might have been a tragedy of the Jinchuriki.

But even so, the relationship between Kushina and the Nine - Tailed Fox was just so - so.

"Mikoto, let it talk."

Haruki walked up to the Yang Nine - Tailed Fox. Its huge body was quite intimidating.

"Damn it! One day, I'll tear you to pieces!"

The roaring voice of Kurama rang out.

It was full of anger and killing intent.

"I want to make a deal with you, Kurama."

Haruki ignored its harsh words, looked up at it, and said.

"Absolutely not!"

Kurama bared its teeth. Anger made it lose its mind, and it rejected his suggestion without thinking.

Haruki sighed.

"Mikoto, release the control."

Oh!

"Huh?"

Kurama thought it had misheard, but its body was truly free.

Without hesitation, it raised its huge paw and slapped at Haruki.

"Die, ant!"

Haruki's figure disappeared in the flying dust.

Kurama's ferocious expression was still on its face when its paw was entangled by the wildly growing vines.

Its huge body suddenly leaned backward.

Countless tree trunks popped up one after another in front of it, like the strongest spears pressing against its head.

"Ah!"

Binding and piercing.

The woods, not very sharp but extremely hard, penetrated its body one after another.

Chakra scattered everywhere.

Kurama howled in pain.

[Wood Release]!

Its breathing seemed to stop.

There was only one thought in its mind.

Could you have told me earlier, damn it?!

If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been so arrogant!

At this time, Kurama was floating in the air, propped up by the tree trunks all over the mountains.

It looked at the skinny young man in front of it, with tears in its eyes.

From the pain.

"Can we have a good talk now?"

There were black eye shadows on Haruki's face. Stopping the Nine - Tailed Fox in an instant had consumed a little of his Chakra.

Kurama pointed to the tree trunk stuck in its throat.

Haruki smiled, and the tree trunk retreated under his command.

True to its reputation as the strongest Tailed Beast, Kurama's wound healed in a few seconds.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Kurama was still hanging in the air, so its tone was quite docile.

It wasn't afraid of death, as it could be resurrected anyway.

But with Wood Release and Sharingan, it really couldn't cope. It would be more agonizing than death.

"Do you want to get rid of the tree trunks binding you?"

"Yes!"

Kurama nodded without hesitation. This position, being propped up by the tree trunks that pierced through its body, was extremely uncomfortable.

"It's very simple. Shrink your body and turn back into your childhood form."

"Human, what tricks are you playing?"

Kurama had never heard of such a requirement before and subconsciously felt suspicious.

"What difference does it make if I'm playing tricks or not when you've got me in this situation?"

Kurama was stunned upon hearing this.

Right, I'm being hung up and beaten. Whether it's a trick or not, I can't resist anyway.

Thinking of this, its huge body gradually shrank and turned into a cute little fox about thirty centimeters tall.

Haruki's eyes lit up slightly.

"What are you going to do?"

Kurama noticed his look and took a few steps back in fear.

Haruki smiled faintly and didn't answer this question.

It was so cute. He thought Kushina wouldn't resist it.

"Let's have a deal. You'll still be sealed in Kushina's belly, but don't get excited just yet."

Haruki saw it baring its teeth again, but this time, because of its extreme cuteness, it looked like an ultra - fierce emoji and had no deterrent effect at all.

"I can give you a certain degree of freedom."

"What do you mean?"

When Kurama heard the word "freedom", there was a look of longing in its eyes.

"You help Kushina and befriend her. In return, we'll appropriately weaken the seal. During non - combat periods, you can move around in the area we've designated."

"What's the difference between this and being imprisoned?"

Kurama couldn't help but roar. What's the point of this brief freedom?

"Of course, there's a difference."

Haruki said with a smile. He also thought his earlier words were too much like letting a prisoner out for some fresh air.

"How much time do you think you'll need to fight with our strength?"

Kurama was slightly shocked and then showed a look of joy.

Indeed, with Wood Release and Mangekyo Sharingan, they hardly needed it.

There would be a lot of non - combat time.

Thinking of this, it found a blind spot and asked, "If so, why don't you just let me go?"

"Because you're too powerful, Nine - Tailed Fox."

Haruki shrugged.

"..."

Powerful, my foot!

Kurama immediately started cursing in its heart.

Do you guys all like to mess with me?
