Chapter 32

Everyone in the room looked at Naruto in surprise. They could sense an ancient aura radiating from him, but no one knew what it was except Great Toad Sage.

After Great Toad Sage recovered from its surprise, it pointed to them and said in a serious tone, "I need to have a private conversation with him, while please wait outside."

They were both surprised and intrigued. That's why they wanted to stay and listen. Yet they had to go out because they could not oppose him.

After they had left, Toad Sage looked at Naruto and said inquisitively, "The feeling I get from you is like in Shinju. What do you have to do with him?"

"I am related to it as you feel, but that Shinju you see is not me." Naruto said as he entered Shinju form.

"Hmm… Yes, you have a similar being to it, but you're not it. So what are you looking for here? What is your purpose?" It asked, narrowing its eyes.

"I came here for Kyuubi's seal key if you're asking about the reason I came to Mount Myoboku." Naruto replied.

"What are you going to do when you release Kyuubi? I cannot allow you to reabsorb the energy of this world." Toad Sage said.

"Don't worry, I won't do much harm to the world. In fact, we can both be on the same side."

"How so? What do you mean?" Toad Sage asked curiously.

"You know why Shinju was planted in this world in the first place, right?" Naruto asked.

Later, when he realized that it's didn't know, he continued, "Otsutsuki is using Shinju to eat the energy of the world. So the people who actually want to destroy the world are the Otsutsuki Clan. I'm just a tool used here. More accurately, I used to be a tool, but now things have changed."

"So, what are you going to do?" Toad Sage asked as it digested its newfound knowledge.

"They used me against my will. Of course, I want revenge. So I won't do any harm to this world, I'll even save the world from Otsutsuki." Naruto said calmly.

"For now, I will choose to believe you. We'll give you the seal key, is there anything else I can help with?" Toad Sage asked.

"Hmm… Actually, when the time comes, I want to use this place to practice with natural energy. Will you let it happen?" Naruto said after thinking for a while.

"I can only let you in if you don't absorb all the natural energy here." Toad Sage said after a while.

"Thank you for allowing me. I want to tell you one more thing. Your prophecy will most likely come true. One of my goals is to unite all the tailed beasts, and then there will be great changes in the world as well." He went back to his original form after Naruto said it.

After the two of them talked a little more, Toad Sage called in the people who were waiting impatiently outside. But unfortunately, even if they entered, their curiosity was not satisfied.

After Toad Sage told them to give the seal key to Naruto, it went into seclusion again.

Naruto finally got Kyuubi's seal key, then he stayed with Jiraiya on Mount Myoboku for a while.

A few days had passed and Jiraiya and Naruto had returned to continue training.

At this time, Naruto, under Jiraiya's watch, was about to open the Kyuubi's seal with the key. After placing his hand on his stomach, he began to open the seal with the help of the key. In a short time, the seal had completely opened and disappeared.

At that time, in the mind field, Naruto was about to reach his hand to the seal on Kyuubi's collar and tear it off. But his hand, which was about to break the seal, was stopped by someone else's hand.

"What do you think you're doing, Naruto?" Minato said while stopping Naruto's hand.

"Daddy! Welcome! I'm just unsealing my lover. Oh! That's right, I didn't introduce you to her. Her name is Kurumi, or Kyuubi as you know it." Naruto spoke to Minato with a sincere smile.

Minato suddenly looked at Naruto and Kurama in surprise.

"You… the two of you? Lover?" Minato was so taken aback that he could barely utter a few words.

"Hello, father-in-law. My name is Kurumi, nice to meet you. I also offer my most sincere apologies for what happened that day." Kurumi *Cough* Kurama shyly said in its thin voice.

Minato was so obviously in shock when he heard Kurama's shy feminine voice. He then suddenly disappeared from Naruto's mind space.

"HAHAHA!" Naruto couldn't take it anymore and started laughing.

Kurama also started laughing when it saw the expression on Minato's face.

After they both laughed for a while, Naruto said, "We've had enough fun, let's continue."

He then grabbed the seal tag with his hand and pulled it off by tugging at himself.

Naruto said to Kurama as he stared at the crumbling seal tag in his hand, "So you're free now."

Soon after, he continued, "I need to acclimate my body to your chakra for a while. After my body gets used to it, we will try to get into full transformation form. Now that we're done, I'll bring Shukaku here too."

Naruto left his mind space after placing Shukaku in the same place as Kurama.

Kurama closed its eyes and thought, "Hmm… Kurumi… Might be interesting."

After leaving his mind space, he saw Jiraiya, who was looking at him with curiosity and concern.

"The transaction has been completed. Now we can do bijuu chakra control exercise." Naruto said.

"Of course! We'll start right away tomorrow!" Jiraiya said happily.

Naruto nodded as he thought, "Jiraiya doesn't have much to teach me. Now I have to wait for a moment to go to Uzushiogakure from now on. They must have left something there. After all, at that time, we were a clan that was feared because we were powerful.
