Chapter 154: Nine Tails
"Is this for real?" shouted the Uzukage, shocked by the massive size of the Susanoo.
"Yes, it's real, Father," smirked Setsuna before undoing his Susanoo.
"Now I see why you're so confident," said the Uzukage. "I've fought many battles against the Uchiha Clan, and your Susanoo is the largest and strongest I've ever seen."
"Hahaha, but there's one more thing I haven't shown you," replied Setsuna.
"What is it?" asked the Uzukage curiously.
"Didn't I tell you I captured the Nine-Tails?" said Setsuna.
The Uzukage felt as though someone had thrown a bucket of ice water over him.
"Yeah, I remember. Show me," said the Uzukage.
He had delayed sealing the Nine-Tails inside him for obvious reasons. He didn't want Madara to know he had the Nine-Tails while he was still comparatively weak than him.
But now, after accumulating numerous rewards, his strength had surpassed Madara's. Moreover, his past rewards included the Tomoe Rinnegan.
Setsuna took out the Jinchuuriki Card and showed it to his father-in-law.
"Inside this card resides the Nine-Tails," said Setsuna.
The Uzukage held the card and examined the intricate fuinjutsu on it. With just a glance, he could only understand about 10% of the fuinjutsu used on it.
But the more he looked at it, the more he realized that the card contained the most advanced sealing jutsu he had ever seen.
"I can't feel any chakra being emitted from this," said the Uzukage, still trying to find a flaw.
"Yeah, there are multiple layers of sealing jutsu to block the chakra," replied Setsuna. "I'll seal it within my body right now."
"Do it, Setsuna," said the Uzukage.
"Yes." Setsuna then placed the card on his chakra coil and commanded it to be sealed inside his body.
---Nine Tails POV---
After Hagoromo Otsutsuki left the world, Kurama had been rampaging based on his mood. Sometimes he would wreak havoc and leave with a smirk.
However, he wouldn't kill innocent civilians, the ones he fought were ninjas, who are trying to capture him.
His peaceful rampages were interrupted by two shinobi who called themselves Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
They were fast and arrogant, believing they could defeat Kurama. However, Kurama outmatched them and beat them to a pulp.
He nearly devoured both brothers when he was suddenly interrupted by another unknown figure. This creature had a horn and white eyes like the Hyuga, but his eyes could change to the blue Rinnegan, similar to the Sage of Six Paths, Kurama's adoptive father.
Kurama tried to fight back but was eventually captured by him, and it wasn't just him inside the prison—it was torture. He was pinned down by metal chains, which hurt a lot and his chakra was constantly being absorbed by the creature who called himself Otsutsuki Toneri.
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years passed and Kurama's only wish was to die—to escape the torture at any cost.
But then a person wielding the Sharingan came to his rescue. The person called himself Uchiha Setsuna.
Kurama saw a glimmer of hope when Setsuna activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. He summoned Susanoo and pummeled Toneri.
Then he used a Rinnegan Tomoe, but unlike Toneri's blue Rinnegan, his was purple like his father Hagoromo Otsutsuki's.
Eventually, Toneri was defeated but managed to escape. Setsuna then looked at Kurama.
"My great-grandfather once let you roam the land," said Setsuna. "I will do the same."
"Your great-grandfather, Hagoromo Otsutsuki?" asked Kurama.
"Yes, didn't you notice my eyes?" replied Setsuna before releasing Kurama's chains.
Finally, Kurama was free, and the pain that had tortured him for several decades was gone.
"Go wherever you wish," said Setsuna.
"Human, my name is Kurama," replied Kurama.
"Kurama? That's a nice name," smiled Setsuna.
Kurama, still feeling a bit yandere, wanted to say something to Setsuna, but he couldn't, so he just stared at him.
"Make sure to escape if you ever meet someone from the Otsutsuki Clan," advised Setsuna.
"I'm the Nine-Tails! I don't need to run from some puny guy," said Kurama, a bit angry.
"Well, that 'puny guy' managed to capture you," said Setsuna, making Kurama fall silent.
"Is there a way for me to avoid being captured again?" asked Kurama.
"Well, theoretically, if I became your Jinchuuriki and you were sealed inside me, they wouldn't be able to capture you anymore. I have the same eyes and Mangekyou Sharingan to defeat them," said Setsuna.
Like someone tired and offered a pillow, Kurama found hope for survival with Setsuna.
"Okay, let's do it," said Kurama.
"Do what?" replied Setsuna.
"You becoming my Jinchuuriki," said Kurama.
"Are you sure?" replied Setsuna.
"Well, compared to being captured by them, it's better to be sealed inside your body," said Kurama.
"Alright," replied Setsuna.
Kurama was pleased when Setsuna agreed.
They then formed a contract, and eventually, Kurama was sealed inside him.
--- Perfect Jinchuuriki---
All the memories of the fake Setsuna were injected into Setsuna. He now fully understood how the system managed to make Kurama willing to become his Jinchuuriki.
[Installation complete – The beast has fainted and will wake in three hours.]
Uzukage, who witnessed this, could sense something new inside Setsuna.
"It worked, right?" asked Uzukage.
"Yes, indeed," replied Setsuna, before activating his Kurama Chakra Mode Two.
Like Uzumaki Naruto, he also had his own chakra cloak, but perhaps because he had Uzumaki Himawari's chakra, his mode was denser than Naruto's.
Uzumaki Himawari's chakra was more compatible with the Nine-Tails compared to Naruto. She could unleash the Nine-Tails' power to an even greater level.
"This... is this the Nine-Tails?" muttered Uzukage.
It was his first time seeing a Nine-Tails transformation. He thought it would be like Aburame Toka's, but this one was entirely in chakra form.
Setsuna, observing the golden chakra surrounding his body, decided to retract it. The chakra vanished. He then tried once again to delve deeper into Kurama's power, and he finally understood why it manifested in a golden form.
Every other Jinchuuriki transforms into a flesh form, but only Naruto is in chakra form due to the sealing and bond he had with Kurama. That connection allowed him to use the chakra form.
Setsuna then tapped even deeper into the power, and he did it—his eyes no longer shone with golden chakra but had turned red, like Naruto's Baryon Mode.
The cloak turned red, and he could feel his strength was far greater than before, as this time, his power had truly surged beyond its previous limits.
