Chapter 415: Not Afraid of the Nine-Tail

Mito Ryo sensed that although the form was a little different, there was no doubt that this huge cell was built based on his own Four Symbols Seal, and it also had some of Minato's magic skills. Not only that, there was a seal on the outside of the cell door.

"You still can't control the Nine-Tails?"

Naruto didn't care about his unfinished homework, and even had some expectations in his words.

"It should be soon. The Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku once predicted to me that I would meet a red-haired person, a giant octopus, a small island, and so on. Sasuke said that the octopus should refer to the Eight-Tails. The Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki is a perfect Jinchūriki. I think if we meet, I can ask him for advice on how to control the tailed beasts."

Not to mention red-haired people. Now we have found a nest of red-haired people. An island floating in the sky can also be considered an island...

Mito frowned, with a hint of disgust on his face.

"Another prophecy from Mount Myōboku?"

"Just by saying a few prophecies, it is clear that the achievements were made by the later generations through their own efforts, but it seems that they would not have been possible without him. Since it is a prophecy of something that will happen in the future, if it is bound to happen, then what difference does it make whether it is said or not? It is just trying to gain a sense of existence."

In the last few years of his life, Myoboku Mountain tricked a man named Jiraiya into searching the world for the so-called "child of prophecy". Mito had heard about this, but it was none of his business at the time and he had no choice. My goodness, Myoboku Mountain found the "child of prophecy" and still wanted to trick him? Jiraiya was like this, and so was Naruto, and he specifically targeted them when they were young and full of blood and inexperience.

“Knowing what might happen and being mentally prepared will help you hesitate less when you need to make a choice.”

Naruto made a few excuses for the prophecy of Mount Myoboku, but he obviously didn't grasp the key point of Mito's words, the word "again".

If Naruto hadn't come, Mito naturally wouldn't care. He had already come to the front, so why would he leave Uzumaki, his own specialty, unused, and instead ask for help from an outsider? Not only an outsider, but also a foreigner.

"It's just sealing a tailed beast, why do we need to ask for help from outsiders?"

"Do you have the 'key'?"

"This is the key you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Naruto stretched out his right hand, and a series of techniques connected his right palm and forearm, and the key to seal the Nine-Tails was successfully mastered.

Under Sasuke's guidance over the years, Naruto has always known that the Uzumaki clan is good at sealing techniques. Today, he met a new Uzumaki elder, so Naruto naturally guessed that the development of the matter would go in this direction.

"…Will you teach me how to control the Kyuubi?"

"Since those toads want to steal the credit, I won't do anything. And you don't need to look for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Naruto, tame the Nine-Tails by yourself."

"what? What?"

"Taming the Kyuubi? By myself?"

Naruto couldn't believe it. He looked at Mito, then at Sasuke, and then at the Nine-Tails. Was he really going to let him go so easily? He was expecting this Uzumaki elder to teach him something, even if it meant strengthening him in some way...

Of course, Naruto was not just going to charge in like this. Mito's chakra emerged from his body and took a handful from Naruto, letting him experience firsthand how to snatch the chakra of the tailed beast.

"Just like this, use your own chakra to stick to the Nine-Tails', then snatch its chakra and use it yourself, it's not difficult. If it moves around, just tie it up with a chakra chain. There's no need to build a cage to trap it like this."

"Don't worry. We have set up multiple formations in this city to increase our power. Our Uzumaki clan's sealing skills will be significantly strengthened. Even if our sealing skills are a little rusty, there is no need to worry too much."

Other Chuuriki either live in harmony with beasts like Killer Bee, or they can only relax the seal of the tailed beasts at the critical moment, allowing the tailed beasts to temporarily break free from control and wreak havoc. Of course, it's not just the tailed beasts. The basic principle of ninjutsu to extract chakra from others is similar. It's just that if you want to be so direct and brutal without paying attention to details, you must have a bloodline of Uzumaki's level.

"Karin, the process of controlling the tailed beasts probably doesn't need to happen to you, but such an opportunity is rare, so just watch carefully..."

Naruto interrupted Mito who was instructing Karin with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Um...senior, the chakra chain you mentioned is the 'Vajra Lock'?"

"Well, get started when you're ready."

"I'm not very good at that trick yet, so..."

Mito was caught off guard by Naruto and looked at Sasuke in surprise.

"Didn't you say you wanted Tsunade to teach him?"

"But Master doesn't know the Diamond Seal, so she can only explain it to Naruto verbally."

"So Naruto isn't good at sealing techniques?"

Naruto had reasons to defend himself.

"Granny Tsunade saw that I always failed in sealing techniques. After checking, she said that the Kyuubi would deliberately leak chakra to disrupt me at every critical moment, making it impossible for me to study smoothly."

The previous two times the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki began their sealing work after sufficient study and preparation. Naruto became a Jinchūriki right after birth without knowing anything, so it is inevitable that he was not thorough enough.

Mito's eyebrows were sharp, and he glared at the Nine-Tails in the cage.

"You've become smarter now, do you think that as long as Jinchūriki doesn't know how to use sealing techniques, he won't be able to control you?"

There were three whirlpools and one Uchiha in front of him. The Nine-Tails knew that he would be restrained against any of them, but he was not afraid even if he had no chance of winning. Sasuke had a deal with him, and Naruto had the same fate with him. At most, it was for his chakra, and it was impossible for him to eat him like the Outer Path Demon Statue.

"Heh, Uzumaki Mito, this is Konoha's own choice. How much influence can my actions have on it?"

"Since Naruto has become a Jinchūriki, I deliberately didn't teach him anything. I only let him learn sealing techniques when he wanted to control me. Don't you think it's a little late?"

Naruto felt that it was not a good idea to escalate the conflict, but he was not completely helpless.

"Senior, now that I have the key, I can also use this Bagua Seal to control the Nine-Tails, should that be possible?"

The Diamond Seal is certainly not necessary, but this ancestral skill that can be controlled at any time is far more flexible than the Bagua Seal. It does not require "opening and closing the door" every time it is used like the seal in Naruto's body now. This seal was not even set by Naruto himself. Without understanding the principles behind it, how well can he perform?

Mito waved his hand to let Naruto stay calm and prepare on the side.

"Kyuubi, I think you are still too comfortable in your cage. It won't be difficult to pin you up again and seal you away."

Although they were both imprisoned, it was true that the Nine-Tailed Fox was much more comfortable in Naruto's body during these years than in the previous decades. Now he tossed and turned, and how comfortable he was was entirely up to him. Mito and Kushina had nailed his limbs and tail, and he was hung in the air, unable to move.
