Deep in the night, Zhang Ming, who had once again entered his dream, still couldn't sleep peacefully. His delicate little face was tense, as if twisted by an invisible force, his expression looking both painful and helpless.
He was in the midst of a nightmare, but it wasn't really a nightmare. It was all the memories of Uzumaki Naruto from the past four years, but that period filled with malice was even more terrifying than a nightmare.
In such a story, he was regarded as an ominous fox demon, an alien by the entire village, and at the same time, he suffered the curses and bullying of the entire village. Everyone wanted him to die.
The originally peaceful and serene village would turn into a silent battlefield as long as he appeared. Naruto lived alone in the corner of the village, enduring unimaginable malice, but with little resentment in his heart. His face was always filled with a pure smile, eager to be recognized by everyone in the village, eager to make real friends. But even so, those harsh taunts, curses, coldness, and fierce gazes still pierced his fragile heart like sharp blades. He seemed to be standing alone on the opposite side of the village, but he was clearly a member of the village. All he heard were theharsh and acrimonious (sharp and mean) words of the people, and all he felt was endless loneliness and pain.
Zhang Ming passively accepted everything from Naruto's past. The surging malice engulfed him like a tide and buried him like mud and sand. The intense feeling of suffocation prevented him from making any sound. He wanted to wake up from this nightmare, but he couldn't do anything.
The memories of four years quickly flashed through Zhang Ming's mind, with only deep malice and hatred engraved in the depths of his heart.
Zhang Ming opened his eyes again in the darkness, his azure eyes still retaining the fear after the dream, but what followed was overwhelming (overwhelming) malice and anger.
As the dream ended, he could feel that Naruto was now completely integrated with him. The memories of four years allowed him to experience Naruto's past from a first-person perspective. The boundless (boundless) hatred made it difficult for him to calm down for a long time, but deep in his heart, there was a voice persuading him to forgive them.
'How ridiculous, is it Asura's chakra?'
'Even so, you can calmly choose to forgive them?'
'Repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?'
'This group of inherently evil Konoha villagers, and those few old, immortal parasites.'
'Let me personally...'
"Heh heh heh, finally awake? Naruto!"
A mocking but malicious voice suddenly rang out in the empty space, with the faint sound of water droplets dripping into the water, causing ripples.
Zhang Ming only felt a gust of wind blowing past his eyes, stirring up his soft golden hair and scraping his cheek.
He immediately looked up and saw that what was in front of him was no longer the room where he slept, but a dark cage. In that cage, a pair of huge vertical pupils suddenly widened, as hot as flames. A huge fox head appeared in front of him, and the fox's body was looming in the darkness.
This is the Sealing Space!
Zhang Ming realized that he was lying on the floor submerged in water. He slowly got up from the ground, looked at the ground, and touched his body. Clearly, his whole body had not been submerged in these waters before, and he could not only breathe, but there was not a trace of wetness on his body. He bent down, scooped up a little, and carefully examined it.
How magical!
"Little brat, you've got a lot of nerve."
Kurama was a little surprised to see that this little blonde still had the mood to play with water after seeing him.
It didn't know why this little brat suddenly appeared in this Sealing Space. The other party's sudden extraction of chakra really startled it, followed by a sudden runaway of malice and resentment. That incomparably pure and evil hatred shocked even Kurama, who was known as the embodiment of hatred.
This made it feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of.
Kurama's voice brought Zhang Ming back to his senses. The water in his hand spilled, rippling in circles, and then he stared blankly at the huge fox.
It doesn't seem that scary, and it even looks a little chubby.
Is he scared already?
Kurama was a little surprised. It thought the other party could bring it some fun. After all, it had been in this Sealing Space for too long, and it would always feel a little lonely. It just didn't expect that it was still just a little brat, so it could only find some fun for itself.
The huge fox head grinned, revealing rows of pale white (snow-white) sharp teeth, and said condescendingly with contempt in its eyes: "Little brat, don't you want to get a little closer?"
Looking at the big fox with a contemptuous face in front of him, Zhang Ming was only slightly surprised just now. He didn't expect that Kurama, who originally needed to wait a few years to see, would actually be seen so early. Is it because he suddenly mastered chakra?
He remembered that the system provided Chakra control, meaning that he could control any Chakra within his body. Since Nine Tails was sealed inside him, that meant he could also control the Chakra emanating from it. Perhaps that was why he met Nine Tails ahead of schedule.
"Kurama, it's been a while."
Zhang Ming perfectly integrated all of Uzumaki Naruto's memories, even those he subconsciously couldn't recall. Therefore, he had already seen this big fox at birth, so saying it had been a while wasn't wrong.
"Hmm?"
Nine Tails, who hadn't been called by its real name in centuries, was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. The corners of its upturned mouth slowly flattened, and its pair of scarlet vertical pupils stared intently at the yellow-haired brat before it, adopting a defensive posture.
"Kid, how do you know my name?"
The smile on Zhang Ming's face grew even wider, wanting to play around, he said, "I am Asura."
"Asura? That's impossible!" Nine Tails' voice contained intense anger. It felt like it was being played by the other party. Asura had been dead for centuries, and his grave couldn't even be found.
"How exactly did you brat learn this name?"
Zhang Ming touched his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. He couldn't quite remember how Uzumaki Naruto knew he was Asura's reincarnation in the original story, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Hmm—an old man with two horns on his head, wearing a white coat, and having three circle eyes told me. He said I am the reincarnation of Asura."
"The, the Sage of Six Paths!" Nine Tails was immediately stunned on the spot, as if it had turned into a statue, unmoving.
A long time passed.
Nine Tails came back to its senses, looked at Uzumaki Naruto standing obediently on the other side of the sealing gate, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you really sure you are the reincarnation of Asura?"
Nine Tails subconsciously hoped this was false, because if it were true, it wouldn't know how to face Uzumaki Naruto.
Zhang Ming didn't care at all, saying, "I don't know about reincarnation, and I'm not interested in it. I am just myself."
Nine Tails' expression was somewhat complicated. To be honest, when Zhang Ming said the name Asura and described the Sage of Six Paths' appearance, it had already believed him a little.
"So, you came here to use my Chakra?" Nine Tails asked with a complicated tone.
"Yeah, more or less, but..."
The smile on Naruto's face became even brighter, but Nine Tails suddenly felt that the light in the Sealing Space seemed to be even dimmer.
"Nine Tails, staying in the Sealing Space all the time must be very boring, right."
