Chapter 91 Two Little Foxes

Even Sakura could hear the hidden meaning in Kurama's words.

Although it tried hard to act nonchalant, from Naruto's expression, he also understood the meaning behind this sentence.

He gave a soft, genuine smile, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners.

"I have no choice."

Jiu Lama also smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, but his eyes were unusually gentle, as if he had anticipated this answer long ago, as if he had been verifying a theory, and facts kept proving that it was correct.

"Okay, kid. Unlike Yokai and Senninmon, once you summon a spirit, it will be forever bound to you and your chakra. From that point on, they will continue to grow stronger as you grow, and the stronger you become, the more spirits you will be able to summon. Got it?"

"Got it." Naruto replied affirmatively. "What do I need to do?"

"Sign it like a normal contract, use your bloody finger, and I'll do the rest. Any flat surface will do, and you don't need to sign it."

Naruto followed its instructions, bit his thumb, and smeared blood on each fingertip. Kurama closed his eyes, as if concentrating, the chakra around him fluctuated violently, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Okay, kid, get started when you're ready."

Naruto pushed the scroll in front of him away, clearing a space, and pressed his hand down.

Spider-web-like runes and symbols quickly emerged on the ground. They spiraled outward to form a perfect circle, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke, rising into the sky with a heat wave.

The room was suddenly filled with deafening roars and screams, and two furry little balls rolled out of the smoke, one dark blue and the other pure black. They wrestled with each other angrily, revealing their sharp teeth.

Sasha was so scared that she jumped onto Inuzuka Kiba's knees and hid behind Akamaru, trembling, while Lavia raised her head curiously, watching the farce with interest.

When the two balls of fur almost hit Sasuke's calf, Chikli screamed angrily, and the two balls of fur separated, revealing their respective figures.

The two foxes were still glaring at each other, their hair standing on end, and their sharp teeth showing. One of the foxes had dark blue fur, like the sky at sunset, and its limbs were dark gray, with a metallic sheen at the ends of its fur.

The other fox's fur was pure black, with a dazzling indigo gem in the center of its forehead.

"Say it again, Kuran!" the blue fox roared, arching its body in anger, its metallic hair like hundreds of fine needles.

"You're forcing me, little prince." The black fox fought back without showing any weakness. Just as the blue fox was about to attack again, Jiu Lama suddenly appeared behind it, lowered its head, bit its neck, and lifted it up.

"That's enough," it said in a deep voice.

"Let me go! Let me go!" the little fox screamed, wagging its tail angrily and kicking its limbs in the air.

The black fox stood stiffly in place, eyes wide open, staring at Jiu Lama nervously.

"Kulan!" it shouted. "Calm down!"

"I don't want to calm down!" The little guy was still yelling, but when Kurama deliberately coughed, it seemed to notice the expression of its companion. The little blue fox suddenly froze, and Sakura quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

The little fox turned its head and looked at the huge creature that grabbed it. Sakura couldn't imagine what it saw now, except for the Nine-Tail's mouth full of fangs and sharp eyes. Kurama raised an eyebrow.

"You really have a lot of energy, little one, even though you're not old enough to spit fox fire yet."

The little fox grinned nervously.

"Yes, I'm sorry," it said uncertainly, showing its tiny white teeth in what might have been a smile but was more like a grimace.

"Are you able to calm down now?" Jiu Lama asked calmly. "Or do you want me to let you go and let the two of you continue fighting?"

"Yes, sir. I, I mean, no, sir! We won't fight anymore, sir." The little fox spoke incoherently, and Jiu Lama slowly put it down.

As soon as the little fox was free, it ran away and hid beside its black companion. However, it also kept its promise and did not provoke the other party again.

"Hmmm." Kurama snorted and returned to Naruto's side, curling up again.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was only then that the two little foxes noticed the humans in the room. They were sitting in a circle, watching the scene with interest.

"I didn't expect you to summon two little guys at once, but I have a feeling there's something else going on." Kurama said to Naruto, then turned to look at the two little foxes.

"Do you know who I am and why you have been summoned here?"

"You are the nine-tailed demon fox, Lord Kurama." The blue fox replied immediately.

"anything else?"

"We were summoned." The black one replied. "But weren't you the one who summoned us?" It raised its head and looked at Naruto, its eyes moving back and forth between him and Kurama.

Naruto smiled, he propped up his knees with his elbows, Kurama's huge head occupied his other thigh, so he had to rest his cheek on his hands.

"They are very observant," he said with a smile, without a trace of malice in his tone.

"I don't understand." The black fox shifted restlessly, its tail entwined anxiously around its slender legs. "Where are we? Who are these people?"

"They are my friends," Kurama announced, nuzzling Naruto's chest with its head, as if its previous actions to protect Uchiha Sasuke weren't obvious enough. "Naruto summoned you here through me."

"If you are the real nine-tailed demon fox, why are you so small?" asked the black one, and the blue little fox immediately glared at it.

"Don't you know anything? Lord Kurama was sealed a century ago, as were all the tailed beasts!"

The little black fox showed its fangs.

"We don't have time to learn advanced knowledge all day, little prince. We have to hunt for our own food to fill our stomachs, unlike some people who have food delivered to their mouths." As it said this, it stood up and walked towards Naruto, looking at him curiously.

The little blue fox stared at him as if he saw a monster, hiding in the shadow of the nine-tailed fox, staying as far away from the humans in the room as possible.

However, the black little fox didn't seem to be as scared as its companions. It walked straight to Naruto, raised its paw, and gently placed it on his calf.

These two little foxes were only as big as a piece of bread. Apart from the multiple tails behind them and the faint luster on their fur, Sakura could hardly tell any difference between them and ordinary foxes.

"My name is Kuran." The little black fox said to Naruto. "If you are the human partner of Kurama-sama, then you are the Jinchūriki, right?"

"Yes." Naruto nodded. "I was born a Jinchuriki. My name is Uzumaki Naruto."

"What are you doing, Kuran? He's dangerous!" the little blue fox screamed, and Jiu Lama couldn't help but chuckle.

The little black fox rolled his eyes impatiently.

"Don't worry about it, it has never seen the world." It explained to Naruto. "It has never left the sacred forest, so it has never seen humans."

"Oh, have you seen it?" the little blue fox immediately retorted.

"Of course, where else do you think our hunting ground is? There are humans everywhere outside the forest in the distance." The black little fox said proudly to his companion, and then it turned to Naruto again. "However, the humans I have seen before cannot use chakra. Can you use chakra?"
