"I agree too!"
Kushina nodded enthusiastically.
She had long since made peace with Nine Tails—the tsundere fox—and now considered him a friend.
Sometimes, she even felt guilty about keeping him sealed up.
Besides—
Even if she set him free, she could still use his power when needed, right?
And to be honest—
With how much her own strength had grown, she barely needed Nine Tails' chakra anymore.
She was already at Kage-level now.
"Alright then! Let's get started!"
Uchiha Gen flashed a grin and tapped his foot lightly on the ground.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the sealing barriers placed throughout the room activated at full power, ensuring that no one outside—not even the Anbu—would sense what was happening inside.
Then, he turned to Kushina.
"Stand in front of me and don't move."
She nodded obediently.
Uchiha Gen placed one hand on her abdomen, while the other hand spread open, triggering the seal within her body.
At that moment—
His spiritual projection entered the sealed space, where Nine Tails lay, watching him warily.
Uchiha Gen beckoned him over.
Nine Tails hesitated for a moment—anticipation mixed with resistance—before finally stretching his head forward and pressing it against Uchiha Gen's palm.
"It's going to hurt when I extract your essence," Uchiha Gen warned, his voice calm but firm.
"So bear with it. Don't move around."
"This is for your freedom, got it?"
Nine Tails scoffed arrogantly.
"Please! A little pain is nothing to me!"
"I'm Nine Tails, brat. Don't underestimate me!"
Uchiha Gen smirked.
"I like your confidence."
"Let's see if you can keep your mouth shut when the pain kicks in."
The next moment—
SHING!
Golden Adamantine Sealing Chainsexploded from Uchiha Gen's palm—
They shot forward, wrapping around Nine Tails' entire body and binding him tightly, leaving only his head exposed.
Nine Tails: "???"
"Oi! What the hell?! Why are you tying me up?!"
"You're just extracting my chakra! Why do you need to restrain me?!"
"Relax," Uchiha Gen replied casually.
"This is just in case you start thrashing around like an idiot."
"It's for your own good."
Nine Tails gritted his teeth, annoyed—
But before he could say anything else—
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore from his throat.
It was as if his very soul was being ripped apart.
It hurt.
It really hurt.
Nine Tails thrashed violently—but the Adamantine Chains held firm.
For a brief moment, he actually thought he was dying.
But soon, he realized—
He wasn't.
Shukaku's chakra projection suddenly popped into the seal and, upon hearing Nine Tails screaming, he smirked smugly.
"Oh?!"
"Who was the one bragging just now?!"
"Who said a 'little pain' was nothing?"
"And yet… who's the one crying like a puppy now?"
Nine Tails froze mid-scream.
His face darkened.
He was in excruciating pain, but the sheer audacity of Shukaku's mockery infuriated him more than the agony.
He immediately snapped back—
"SHUKAKU, YOU DAMN RACCOON!"
"JUST WAIT! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I'LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS!"
Shukaku just cackled.
"Pfft! Come at me, bro!"
Nine Tails gritted his teeth in frustration.
But deep down, he had to admit—
This hurt way more than he expected.
Ten Minutes Later…
Outside, in the real world—
A massive sphere of golden chakra, the size of a water tank, now hovered in Uchiha Gen's hands.
"Alright!" he said, exhaling slightly.
"The extraction's done."
"Now, we just need to reshape it and set up the sealing system."
Inside the seal, the real Nine Tails collapsed, his body trembling from exhaustion.
He could barely move.
But even then—
Shukaku was still laughing.
"I swear to god," Nine Tails muttered, panting, "if you don't shut up, I'm killing you first."
Uchiha Gen ignored their bickering and focused on the task at hand.
Black sealing scripts flowed from his fingertips, weaving into the pure chakra sphere, reshaping it into a new form.
Tsunade, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow.
"Incredible…" she murmured.
Kushina and Uzumaki Rena nodded in agreement.
"This is amazing!" Kushina exclaimed.
"But… wait."
As the chakra ball shifted and transformed, its shape became clearer—
It had taken the form of a small fox.
A tiny, adorable Nine Tails.
"Whoa!"
Kushina's eyes sparkled.
"Is this really Nine Tails?!"
"Why does he look so cute?!"
Uchiha Gen smirked.
"Because I designed him that way."
Shukaku snorted.
"Tch! Disgusting."
"Back in the day, I was mighty and terrifying when I was young."
"Unlike that dumb fox."
Kushina tilted her head.
"Uh-huh… Sure."
She, Tsunade, and Uzumaki Rena all glanced at Shukaku at the same time.
Short arms.
Short legs.
No visible neck.
He looked like a living gas tank.
With an ugly face.
And tiny little ears.
…
He was definitely not 'mighty and terrifying'.
He was just…
Stupidly cute.
Shukaku narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Hey… you're thinking something rude, aren't you?"
Kushina, Tsunade, and Rena: "NO! Absolutely not!"
Moments Later…
The miniature Nine Tails opened its golden eyes for the first time.
He blinked a few times, looking at himself.
"I… I'm… free?"
Kushina beamed.
Without hesitation, she scooped him up and hugged him.
"KAWAII~!"
"Oi! Let go of me!" Mini Nine Tails squirmed.
"I'M A TAILED BEAST, NOT A DAMN DOG!"
But Kushina just laughed, ruffling his fur.
"Too late!" she giggled.
"You're too cute!"
Mini Nine Tails: "I swear, I will murder all of you."
Uchiha Gen chuckled.
"Welcome to your new life, Mini Nine Tails."
Nine Tails: "Kill me now."
