Chapter 5 : Fierce Kushina
Kurama in Uzumaki Mito's body listened to her conversation with Kushina.
Since she wanted Kushina to inherit the role of Nine Tails' Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Mito naturally wanted her successor to meet the beast firsthand so she could be mentally prepared.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
In the dimly lit, sealed space, Kurama heard the sound of two steady footsteps approaching.
Uzumaki Mito held Kushina's small hand, guiding her forward.
At this moment, the young girl was hesitant, a flicker of unease showing in her eyes.
She had never seen a tailed beast before, and after hearing Uzumaki Mito's descriptions, she understood how terrifying the Nine Tails was.
The immense power of the tailed beast was undeniable.
A large "seal" symbol was inscribed on the giant gate before them. Uzumaki Mito and Kushina had finally arrived in front of Kurama.
Seeing the enormous beast's red-orange fur and oppressive presence, Kushina instinctively shrank back.
"Don't be afraid, Kushina. This is the Nine Tails. You'll need to learn how to get along with it from now on," Uzumaki Mito reassured her, gently stroking her red hair.
