Chapter 8 (1/2)

Looking around I spotted a cage. Walking up to it I suddenly spotted two big red eyes. Walking even closer I felt a crushing killing intent coming over me. But I didn't back down.

When I was 5 meters from the cages I quickly jumped to the left bȧrėly dodging his nail.

”Ey, it isn't nice to suddenly attack someone like that.”

”Why don't you come closer and I'll show you how nice I am.”

”Don't think I'm stupid. I rather not get eaten by a big orange furball.”

”How dare you! Do you even know who I am? I'm the great Kyūbi no Yōko! I'm not someone a brat like you can disrespect.”

”Even if I said that I can get your second half back.”

”What!? How do you know about that?”

”Haven't you been watching me?”

”Who would watch your boring life. I'd much rather sleep.”

”Oh, so you're a lazy fox. You must have been sleeping every time you got captured.”

”You brat I swear I will kill you. Come inside here if you dare.”

”Nah I'm fine standing here. But about what I said earlier, do you want to make a deal.”

”How will you do that. My other half got taken by a shinigami.”

”It's easy actually. The Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple holds masks that are able to release a soul from the Shinigami. If I release Minato Namikaze from the Shinigami I can get your other half back.”

”If you want to make it work you need to be able to extract and seal my other half yourself since no one will help you do it. They will probably think that I took over your body and lock you up or even kill you.”

”Don't worry I have an idea to do it myself. After I'm done learning sealing I'll be able to easily do it. It will only take a couple of months before I'm ready.”

”So what do you want. But don't even think about trying to deceive me. Even if I'm sealed I'll make your life hell!”

”Haha, calm down. I'm not that type of guy. The thing I want is simple. Your full cooperation. Which means I'll have access to all your power. I'll also release you from this cage and change this place to look nicer.”

”What will you do if I'll take over your body once you unseal me?”

”Well I know for a fact that you aren't someone who goes back on his words. But if you want to try and take over my body go ahead. You can think it over and answer me once I'm done making preparations. Bye.”

And I left my mindscape without letting him say anything. I'm sure that once he thinks it over he'll accept. After all, he gets more freedom and his other half back and the only thing he needs to do is lend me some of his powers when I need it. Foxes are known to keep their promises, but I won't bet my body on that.

I am currently working on a seal that will be able to protect my mind from anything foreign. That also includes Genjutsu and the Yamanaka's techniques. But I won't be able to complete it till I become a master in Fūinjutsu. With that seal, the Kjubi will never be able to take over my body.
