11Planning!AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 11 Planning!
The Nine-Tailed was bewildered.
He never imagined someone would pull off such a strange maneuver.
"Shisui is so strong; Danzo must have ambushed him to win, but I don't understand why he would do that?"
"What's there to not understand? Kill Shisui, and his eyes are his. Besides, he certainly doesn't believe Shisui would truly defect to the Village."
"Kill him, and there's one less unstable factor. How good is that?"
The Nine-Tailed fell silent.
"So, you want to save Uchiha Shisui? I think it's very difficult. He is very strong, and you don't have much time to save him."
Naruto sighed.
That was the troublesome part; if he could, he really wanted to save him.
And while he was at it, find a way to bring Uchiha Shisui under his command.
There were indeed many strong Ninja in Uchiha, but Shisui was in a league of his own among them.
With his help, the things he wanted to do in the future would be much smoother.
"In the end, it's still about a lack of strength."
Naruto frowned: 'Is there any way for me to quickly increase my strength? Even temporarily would be fine.'
"There really is!"
The Nine-Tailed was startled, then its eyes lit up, its tail swept the ground, and its head held high: "I have a good idea!"
"How so?"
"Eight Gates, plus my Chakra for you to use."
Naruto quietly calculated upon hearing this: "The Eight Gates can indeed greatly enhance one's strength, and with the Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, it can indeed unleash powerful strength in a short time."
"Hmm, the problem is whether you can control this sudden power?"
The Nine-Tailed tapped its claws and said: "Also, these might not even stop Shisui."
"No need to stop him, just give him an opportunity."
"Plant a seed of doubt in his heart."
Naruto smiled coldly; he didn't believe that a Ninjalike Uchiha Shisui, who could emerge from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, would truly be that foolish.
Just give it a seed, and it will take root and sprout.
"So, I need to master this as soon as possible. As for Shisui ascending before I've mastered it, then I can only say I tried my best."
It was a matter of timing and fate.
Making small moves while ensuring his own safety was already his limit.
"Wait!"
Naruto suddenly narrowed his eyes, thinking of a good idea: 'Perhaps, I can write a note and slip it into Sasuke's pocket.'
"Ah, this method..."
The Nine-Tailed was stunned.
But on second thought, this was a compromise. If it succeeded, it would be great; if not, there wouldn't be much loss.
"Need to solve the handwriting problem."
Naruto stroked his chin, his gaze wandering, then fixing on the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed instantly bristled: "What do you want to do?"
"Hehehe!"
Naruto rubbed his hands: 'I'll leave this to you. I'll speak, and you write.'
"I won't!"
The Nine-Tailed flatly refused: 'You can kill me, but I won't write.'
"I'm not used to writing your human characters; they're ugly as hell. I'm not making a fool of myself."
"Continuous supply of vegetables every day."
Naruto's voice was full of temptation, and the Nine-Tailed's expression struggled.
Normally, Naruto rationed them, but now he was offering a continuous supply.
This temptation was too strong.
Only those who had eaten this stuff knew how good what Naruto gave was.
He felt himself getting stronger just by eating a little.
This was incredible.
He was the Nine-Tailed, born with this strength, and it took a very long time to get stronger.
But now, he saw the hope of constantly growing stronger.
"I'll write!"
In the end, the Nine-Tailed couldn't resist the temptation and gave in.
It's just writing a few words, easy peasy.
Half an hour later,
The Nine-Tailed looked at its own writing, doubting its existence, while Naruto stood by with his arms crossed, scoffing.
"I don't believe it; I can't even write a few words properly."
The Nine-Tailed gritted its teeth, waving a claw: "Bring me paper and a brush."
Buddha fights for a stick of incense, a man fights for a breath. How can I, the mighty Nine-Tailed, fall here? Impossible!
I don't aim to be a calligraphy master, but I aim to be a Tailed Beast who can write normally.
Let's do this!
Naruto: "..."
Such astonishing fighting spirit.
He put down the paper and brush and quietly retreated.
"Sometimes, you should study sealing Jutsu more. The sealing Jutsu of this Ninja World is the most amazing."
Truly,
He still couldn't understand the principle behind it, that he could freely enter and even send things in.
But for some reason, the Nine-Tailed just couldn't get out.
This sealing ability was too strong. If he could research it and make it flourish, how terrifying would that be?
"I feel like I've found another research direction."
Naruto mused.
The most important thing right now was his own strength.
His age severely limited him.
"It's better to just keep planting obediently. Eating more can also make me stronger."
Shaking his head, he cast aside some unrealistic thoughts and began his daily, unshakeable training.
As for the Nine-Tailed, it became a hardcore gamer, obsessed with writing.
For this,
Naruto even found a calligraphy copybook and threw it in.
...
"Ah ha ha ha!"
About three days later, the Nine-Tailed's loud laughter echoed throughout the sealing space, reaching Naruto's ears:
'From now on, I am a Tailed Beast who can write! When I meet Ichibi Shukaku, I will definitely mock him severely.'
Naruto was speechless.
Looking at the Nine-Tailed's writing again, well, it was barely legible.
"Alright, the rest of this matter is up to me."
Naruto calmly put it away, only to see the Nine-Tailed still lying there, writing with practiced ease.
Awesome!
Silently giving a thumbs-up, Naruto could only say he was impressed.
...
"La la la!"
After school, Sasuke held Uchiha Itachi's hand, laughing like an idiot, skipping and jumping all the way.
At this moment, he was happy.
Looking at Naruto and Sasuke, they truly suffered their whole lives.
If they could, who wouldn't want to live a happy, carefree life?
Most people don't like fighting and killing; it's just out of necessity.
"Huh? Why is there a note in my pocket?"
Almost home, Sasuke reached into his pocket, wanting to eat a candy he had there.
He felt around and didn't pull out candy, but instead a crumpled note.
Uchiha Itachi hadn't paid attention at first.
Just a note, no big deal.
But the moment Sasuke unfolded the note, Itachi's expression changed slightly, and with quick hands and eyes, he reached out and grabbed it.
Sasuke: "???"
He looked at his hand, then at his older brother, utterly bewildered.
What was he doing?
Itachi cleared his throat, his smile gentle, and subtly changed the subject:
"After dinner, I'll go with you to practice shuriken throwing Jutsu."
"Really? Yay!"
Sasuke's eyes lit up, and the note was immediately forgotten.
A note?
What was that? Could it be as good as his brother training with him?
Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression turned grim.
The contents of the note flashed in his mind...
