Naruto closed his eyes, preparing to activate the Ninth Phone Line.
"Hey, big fox, help me out!"
"What do you want now?" Nine Tails heard Naruto say he wanted to make a call, but he didn't know what a phone was. Could it be so powerful that it needed this old man to help him make it?
Naruto said with a grin, "You should be able to contact the other you, right? Help me call my mom."
Nine Tails glared at Naruto unhappily.
Naruto continued to use his trump card, "Help me out, and if things are done here sooner, you can go back to Konoha to eat delicious food sooner.
This Land of Waves is so poor that it only has fish, so we might as well release your third son here."
What he said made sense, so Nine Tails contacted his other half, and Naruto was also pulled into a strange space, where he saw the other Nine Tails.
This was precisely the special communication method of the tailed beasts. In the anime, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto used this method to meet the other tailed beasts and Jinchuriki, and even shared their Chakra with Naruto.
This place felt like a video voice chat room to Naruto, even better than the Akatsuki's virtual image call conference experience.
"Yo, other big fox, hello!" Naruto greeted with a smile.
Since there was no distinction between yin and yang when they were sealed, there was no difference in appearance between the two Nine Tails.
Here, for the sake of distinction, the one inside Kushina will be called Red Nine Tails, and the one inside Naruto will be called Orange Nine Tails.
Red Nine Tails stared at Naruto for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Hello, kid."
System prompt: Kushina Uzumaki has joined the chat room.
Of course, the above sentence was what Naruto imagined in his head when he saw Kushina appear.
"Where is this?" Kushina had just arrived and was still a little confused. Nine Tails had suddenly said that Naruto was looking for her and asked her to cooperate, so she came over in a daze.
"Mom." Naruto waved and called out.
"Naruto? What's going on?" Kushina, still thinking about what kind of ninjutsu this was, asked.
"This is the special communication method of the big foxes. Let him explain it to you later.
Now, can you help me find Dad? I have some things I want to ask him for help with."
Naruto told Kushina about everything that had happened since he set off, and then focused on the situation of Zabuza and Haku, expressing that he wanted to help them but didn't know what to do.
He was still a twelve-year-old child, so of course he had to ask his parents about things he couldn't solve. It wasn't too much to ask his dad to think of a way for his son's kindness, right?
"So that's how it is~" Kushina basically understood Naruto's meaning. This child wanted to protect two rogue ninjas, but he didn't know what to do.
"I'm currently leading Hinata and the others on a mission, so I'll send a Shadow Clone to tell Minato."
"Okay, then let the big fox contact me like this later."
System prompt: Naruto Uzumaki has left the chat room.
Of course, this was still the voice Naruto imagined in his head.
"Thank you, big fox. Call me again when my mom calls later."
"How annoying." Nine Tails complained.
Naruto opened his eyes and said, "I've already told Mom everything. Dad will have a headache over this later."
"You have a ninjutsu that can directly contact Konoha from here?" Kakashi instantly considered a whole bunch of tactical and strategic uses for Naruto's communication method. Such a long distance, it's much better than radio.
"Nope, only Mom and I can use this trick right now."
Unless he divided the Nine Tails' Chakra among others and tried to build a Ninth Phone Line network, but that would definitely require the Nine Tails to act as the server, and with his own Fox Spirit's personality, it would be strange if he didn't quit.
Or there's another way, a flashy trick Naruto had seen in novels before, which was to move the Slug Sage out of Shikkotsu Forest, or just a part of it, and have it split into multiple small slug clones, one for each person.
Since all the Slug Sage's small split bodies share the same server—the Slug Sage's main body—their information is synchronized. Using the small slugs as phones would allow real-time communication.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the slugs summoned through the Summoning Technique have a time limit, and they return to Shikkotsu Forest when the time is up, so they can't exist for long. Moreover, the amount of slugs that Tsunade can summon with her Chakra is limited.
Later, when Tsunade returns to Konoha, they can study the loopholes in the Summoning Technique contract and find a way to make the summoned beasts no longer consume the contractor's Chakra. Naruto's family has experts in Sealing Techniques, Space Ninjutsu, and Summoning Techniques, so maybe they can really succeed?
Kakashi had already guessed what Naruto was talking about. It seemed to be either a special bloodline connection of the Uzumaki Clan, or another commonality between Naruto and his teacher's wife, the special ability of the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
Either way, it seems impossible to popularize. It seems it can't be widely applied for the time being.
While Konoha hadn't replied yet, Naruto ran up to Zabuza and asked, "Hey, why hasn't Gato sent any of his men to cause trouble these past few days?"
Zabuza snorted disdainfully, "He doesn't have any men anymore."
"No men? What do you mean?"
Speaking of this, Zabuza got angry, "Do you remember my Executioner's Blade being broken by you guys a few days ago?"
Everyone looked at the Executioner's Blade. Naruto thought about the Executioner's Blade's ability and roughly knew what was going on.
"I remember the broken blade should have sunk to the bottom of the water?" Kakashi picked up the Executioner's Blade lying on the side, unable to see any traces of artificial repair.
Zabuza sneered, "The Executioner's Blade isn't an ordinary sword. Whether it's broken or damaged, it can gradually recover as long as it's stained with human blood.
Now my sword has gone from being half-broken to completely restored. Guess how much blood it's been stained with? And where did those people come from? If it weren't for the principle that ninjas can't kill their employers..."
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all understood the reason.
Haku seemed to want to salvage Zabuza's image and explained the reason:
Apparently, that day, Zabuza failed to assassinate Tazuna and returned injured. Gato and his men mocked him and even drew their swords and put them on Haku's neck to act tough.
Zabuza was already in a bad mood because his plan had been ruined by some kids, and these guys wanted to touch the person he valued most, so he went berserk on the spot, and Gato became a lone commander.
No zuo no die.
This is interesting. There are quite a few people in the Land of Waves who hate Gato. Gato used to rely on those samurai, ronin, and local ruffians to oppress the common people. Now that he has no men, who knows what those angry Land of Waves civilians will do.
Naruto didn't care. This was their own domestic affair. He was only responsible for telling Tazuna the news, and it was up to him to decide what to do.
If Gato was killed by the angry civilians, then great. Maybe Tazuna would have money to pay the mission reward by then.
While everyone was chatting, Naruto received a text message from Konoha.
