In the dimly lit, cavernous space of the sealing realm, a structure resembling an ancient altar stood solemnly at its center. Surrounding the altar, eight massive stone pillars rose into the darkness, their surfaces etched with intricate sealing formulas.
Thick adamantine chains, each as wide as a grown man, extended from the stone pillars, binding the colossal form of the Nine-Tailed Fox. The chains crisscrossed, holding the beast in place, while a pitch-black sealing stake, nearly half the width of its massive body, pierced straight through its back, nailing it to the altar.
The arrangent left no room for escape.
But the Nine-Tails had long since grown accustod to this prison.
Its massive paws were crossed lazily in front of it, head resting on them as its deep, rhythmic breaths echoed through the cavernous space. The nine tails lay sprawled out behind it, occasionally flicking, causing the very air to tremble with a sharp whooshing sound.
Tap... Tap...
The sound of approaching footsteps echoed from the far end of the sealed chamber's corridor.
The Nine-Tails' ears twitched slightly. With the clinking and rattling of its restraining chains, the beast slowly lifted its head, revealing crimson slit pupils radiating a cold, nacing malice.
"Yo~! Your living conditions have improved quite a bit, huh?"
A laid-back voice called out, carrying a teasing lilt.
Yamanaka Shinno stepped forward, a smirk tugging at his lips as he took in the sight before him. He still rembered the first ti he had entered Kushina's sealing space.
Back then, the Nine-Tails had been completely immobilized—trapped within a massive sealing sphere that bore a striking resemblance to the Six Paths' Chibaku Tensei. Its front paws, hind legs, waist, and even its nine tails had been pierced through with sealing spikes, with additional chains wrapping around its entire body, restricting any movent.
Back then, even twitching was a struggle, let alone lounging around as it was now.
Looks like Kushina and the Nine-Tails had co a long way.
Despite all their shouting matches, their relationship had clearly improved significantly. Otherwise, the Nine-Tails would still be stuck in that glorified bondage play.
"Tch—Brat from the Yamanaka clan, you here just to get cursed at?"
The Nine-Tails snorted, its deep voice reverberating through the chamber. The malicious glint in its eyes faded slightly as it lazily yawned and settled back down onto the altar, shifting into a more comfortable position.
"Quite confident, aren't you?"
Shinno chuckled but continued his approach. With each step, torches ignited one after another, casting warm light throughout the once-dim space. The flickering flas revealed the Nine-Tails in its entirety—an enormous beast covered in vibrant orange fur, towering like a mountain.
...
Na: Kurama
Title: Prisoner
Attributes: Nine Mahā (Red), Nine-Tailed Fox (Purple), Chakra Key (Purple), Malice Perception (Purple), Hunting Instinct (Blue), Fearless (Blue), Nine Horn (White), Resentnt (Gray)
...
Prisoner?
Poor little Nine-Tails.
Shinno couldn't help but snicker as he scanned through Kurama's attributes, his curiosity piqued.
'Nine Mahā' represented the core essence of the Nine-Tails' chakra life force—an infinite source of chakra capable of replenishing itself even after death.
'Nine-Tailed Fox' was a special attribute born from human fear, allowing it to absorb vast amounts of negative emotions, increase its intimidation factor, and even manipulate others by exploiting their inner darkness.
'Chakra Key'—the ability to connect people, minds, and spirits. In other words, a universal chakra adapter, much like its role in the Fourth Great Ninja War as an unlimited chakra battery.
'Malice Perception'—a unique power distinct from standard chakra sensing, capable of detecting good and evil, as well as reading minds.
'Hunting Instinct' enhanced combat abilities, while 'Fearless' strengthened its willpower and resilience in adverse situations.
And then there was...
Nine Horn...?
Wait.
Kurama? Nine Horn?
What the hell?!
Shinno's eye twitched violently. He felt as if he had just stumbled upon sothing unspeakably ridiculous.
Was this so kind of title that enhanced cursing proficiency?! A skill that increased volu, fluency, and vocabulary in verbal abuse while simultaneously diminishing one's dignity as a fox?
No wonder Kushina always complained that she couldn't outmatch Kurama in an argunt.
With a built-in cursing buff, who in the shinobi world could possibly endure that?
Damn!
This completely shattered the intimidating image of the Nine-Tails!
"Brat, if you've got sothing to say, spit it out. If not, get lost! You're disturbing my nap!"
Kurama growled, its sharp teeth glistening with saliva. Any normal person faced with such a sight would have bolted imdiately.
Unfortunately for Kurama, Shinno was not a normal person.
If anything, his expression beca... unreadable.
Nine Horn.
It really turned into a loudspeaker, huh?
It was no illusion—Kurama's voice was indeed louder than before.
"Stupid fox, if you keep barking, I'm gonna beat you up!"
Kushina's voice rang out as she entered the sealing space, shaking her fist in warning.
"Tch—Eat more, drink less, you're not so lonely old widow."
Kurama smirked, its crimson eyes gleaming with pure mischief.
That single sentence was enough to send Kushina's face flushing red with fury. Golden sealing chains materialized behind her, poised for attack.
If it were just her and Kurama alone, she would've simply argued back.
But her boyfriend was right here!
Did she have no dignity?
"...Don't get mad, don't get mad. I'll deal with him for you."
Shinno quickly stepped in, patting Kushina on the head in an attempt to pacify her. Her cheeks were puffed up in anger, making her look like an adorable little tomato.
He understood all too well what Uzumaki Mito ant to Kushina.
For Kurama to casually drop a 'lonely old widow' comnt—it was no wonder Kushina was seeing red.
That said, Shinno was no stranger to the art of verbal warfare. Having survived countless online forums and fla wars in his past life, a re white-tier cursing buff was nothing in his eyes.
It was ti to return fire.
"Alright, you loudmouthed fox, you asked for it—Illusion: The Grandmaster of Fla Wars!"
Shinno clapped his hands together, unleashing a genjutsu without forming any seals.
From his mind palace, he drew upon the most refined, vicious, and creative insults the internet had ever seen—layering them with countless proverbs, idioms, and poetic insults.
A genjutsu designed with a single purpose: Absolute verbal obliteration.
Within seconds, Kurama's smug expression froze.
Shock. Confusion. Disbelief. Rage. Mortification.
All emotions flashed across its face in rapid succession.
"ROAAAAAAR!!!"
The Nine-Tails let out an earth-shaking roar, its rage-fueled chakra surging as it struggled violently against its restraints.
Shinno smirked.
Mission accomplished.
