After all, it was Aomi who helped improve its life when it was sealed.
When it was inside Uzumaki Mito and Kushina, the Nine-tails was always bound by chains and sealing artifacts, along with cold gates and external arrays, suppressed layer upon layer...
There was absolutely no freedom to speak of!
But after Aomi made contact with it, personally tearing open its seal and expressing trust, wanting to befriend the Nine-tails...
The Nine-tails finally had some good days.
Although part of it was because Aomi was so powerful that he wasn't worried about the Nine-tails going berserk.
But among all the strong individuals the Nine-tails had encountered, Aomi was the only one who communicated with it on an equal footing that was hard to describe...
The conspiracy theory Senju Tobirama had with the Nine-tails about the Six Paths Sage using the Rinnegan to control it for the power of Kaguya naturally dissipated after the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance Army...
At the time, the Nine-tails and Kushina found it quite intriguing, and both thought Tobirama's words were true during their nightly discussions...
So even after the Ninja World Alliance Army was formed, the Nine-tails and Kushina would sometimes chat at night, feeling there were issues with the Six Paths Sage's decisions back then...
"If you have something to say, say it. I'm busy trying to sleep!"
On Kushina's shoulder, strands of orange bubbles emerged, forming the shape of a small fox, speaking in a deep, gritted tone:
"Bastard Senju Hashirama, foolish Asura, what a pair of old acquaintances!"
"What, do you two dimwits want something from me?"
The small fox on Kushina's shoulder, with its nine tails swaying irritably, looked rather impatient.
"Alright, Nine-tails. After all, it's the First Lord and Asura..."
Kushina, like an older sister apologizing for a wayward younger brother, showed an awkward smile: "Sorry, you two..."
"Haha, did we disturb the Nine-tails' sleep? But, descendant of Mito, how about the seal on the Nine-tails within you?"
Senju Hashirama squinted his eyes. The way the Nine-tails' chakra seeped out of Kushina's body, along with his excellent chakra sensing, allowed this God of the Ninja World to instantly determine that—
The jutsu sealing the Nine-tails in Kushina was either gone or damaged!
"Do you think you're like that fool, always shouting how dangerous the Nine-tails is, battling with that madman Uchiha Madara to the point of shifting the coastline of the Land of Water?"
The Nine-tails spat disdainfully at the ground: "I say, you and Uchiha Madara are the real dangers. If both of you were sealed, the Warring States Era would have ended long ago!"
"And you, Asura! If you hadn't argued with Indra over pointless things, would you have troubled the world with your reincarnations for a thousand years, making the Ninja World so chaotic?"
"Even I, a mere fox, got caught up in it! I couldn't even nap peacefully in the forest without being tied up as your tool!"
Senju Hashirama's question hadn't been asked yet.
The Nine-tails burst out with a barrage of accusations, venting years of pent-up resentment at both of them.
From the Nine-tails' perspective, neither Asura nor Indra were any good...
After all, as the reincarnation of Asura, Senju Hashirama had sealed it unreasonably and passed it down as a weapon from generation to generation...
Indra and Uchiha Madara didn't need to be mentioned, as they had also dealt it a bad hand.
In short, to the Nine-tails, the two unfortunate sons of the Six Paths Sage were no good!
And after the Nine-tails unleashed its frustrations.
Senju Hashirama could only awkwardly laugh. Once, he thought the Nine-tails was a calamity, a collection of malice, and was wary of its great power, thereby sealing it...
But now, seeing Kushina and the unsealed Nine-tails getting along so well made him feel awkward.
Had he been too rough on the Nine-tails back in the day?
Compared to Senju Hashirama, Asura was simply dumbfounded.
All along, Asura thought the Nine-tails was his comrade and good partner. If not, why would it have willingly lent him power during the great battle back then?
"Nine-tails, I... I am Asura!"
Asura took a step forward, much like Senju Hashirama before, bringing his large face closer to the Nine-tails, incredulously saying:
"We fought and defeated Indra together, didn't we!?"
"How could I be disrupting the Ninja World? I'm working for its peace! Nine-tails, isn't that what you thought, too? Otherwise, why did you help me so earnestly back then!"
The Nine-tails rolled its eyes dramatically, and the small fox's form morphed into a giant palm, which forcefully pushed Asura's large face away.
"You're just as foolish as you were a thousand years ago! Who thought you were right? It was just the old Six Paths Sage wanting to help you!"
Asura's eyes widened: "Huh?"
"What are you 'huh-ing' about? Oh... you didn't think the mutual understanding you had with the old Six Paths Sage was right, did you?"
The Nine-tails' eyes narrowed, and it spoke with a mocking tone: "Did you also think that the people from the Ninja Sect supported you because they agreed with you, which is why they gave you chakra?"
"Come on, don't you want to see who took the lead? The old Six Paths Sage stood at the front, so as long as others weren't mentally challenged, even if they thought Indra was right, who would dare to oppose him?"
