The Nine Tails' final seal could have been opened a long time ago.
Although the key to the second seal was with those Toads, Minato Namikaze was right there; he could just create another key.
The reason for the delay was partly because Naruto had been quite busy lately.
Another reason was that Naruto found Kushina Uzumaki to be quite troublesome.
Red-Hot Habanero wasn't just a nickname; there are no wrong nicknames, only wrongly given names.
If Naruto treated Kushina Uzumaki the way he treated Minato Namikaze, she definitely wouldn't accept it easily.
Naruto's figure appeared within the Sealing Space.
The layout here wasn't much different from before, still a sewer-like arrangement, with Water and a cage.
However, there were many more decorations.
On the other side of the cage, Minato Namikaze was reading a book as usual, but this time it was a Wave Country textbook.
He was reading it very seriously, not even noticing Naruto's arrival; he was also working hard to become a Teacher at the Wave Country school.
The biggest change was definitely the Nine Tails; even Naruto couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw its current appearance.
Next to Minato Namikaze, there was a somewhat cute, adorable little fox lying down.
It was using its tiny paws to flip through the manga on the ground, and with its other paw, it would occasionally grab a potato chip and put it in its mouth.
Eating with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
Behind this little fox, there were Nine Tails swaying gently as its paws turned the pages.
Who else could it be but the Nine Tails?
However, this was just a small clone that the Nine Tails had created with Chakra; its real body was still lying behind the Sealing Space.
He didn't know when it started, but the Nine Tails suddenly began to lie flat with this small body, perhaps because it was more convenient for reading manga this way.
But it must be said, the little Nine Tails was indeed quite cute.
Naruto quietly flashed behind the Nine Tails; perhaps because they were in the Sealing Space, both the person and the fox were completely unguarded.
Or perhaps the content of the book was too attractive.
They didn't even notice Naruto's appearance.
He directly grabbed the Nine Tails' waist and lifted it up.
"Hmm?"
The Nine Tails, still immersed in the illusory world, suddenly felt its feet leave the ground and its body suspended in the air.
It immediately began to struggle.
Naruto ignored its little legs that were constantly kicking and gave it a good, hard rub.
Although foxes are canines, the Nine Tails' chubby appearance was indeed very satisfying to pet.
"You little brat, put this old man down!"
As Naruto's actions became more and more presumptuous, the Nine Tails' struggle became more and more intense.
After a fierce struggle, the Nine Tails still escaped Naruto's clutches.
Returning to the ground, it immediately stood on all fours, its fur standing on end, constantly baring its teeth at Naruto.
Where was there any semblance of a Tailed Beast?
The Nine Tails was now completely lying flat, reading manga every day, eating snacks, and bullying Minato Namikaze when it saw disgusting plots and was in a bad mood.
In this joy, it did not think of freedom.
Being shouted at and killed by people every day outside, how could it be as comfortable as lying flat in the Sealing Space?
"You little brat, why do you have time to run into the Sealing Space today?"
The Nine Tails asked fiercely.
Minato Namikaze on the side had been watching the show for a long time, his face still with a warm and gentle, sun-like smile.
"Naruto, is there something else you need to arrange?"
Naruto also smiled and said, "I'm here to undo the last seal on the Nine Tails."
"Re, really?"
Minato Namikaze was immediately excited when he heard this. Could he finally see Kushina again?
The Nine Tails didn't react much after hearing this. Although the fur on its body collapsed, it was still baring its teeth there.
It was clearly helping it to undo the seal, but it looked like it didn't care at all.
Naruto didn't care and wanted to stroke it again.
"You stinky brat!"
The Nine Tails cursed again, and the chubby little Nine Tails disappeared directly, turning into a Chakra and flying into its main body behind it.
"Roar!"
After the Nine Tails' consciousness entered the main body, it directly let out a very unhappy roar.
Blowing Naruto and Minato Namikaze's clothes and hair were constantly flying.
However, the Nine Tails could only roar. Even without the seal, it was no match for Naruto now.
Naruto also raised his hand to appease the Nine Tails and said with a smile.
"Okay, Kurama, after I release the seal, although the main body still needs to stay in my body, you can also go out to get some air like the clone just now."
Hearing Naruto's words, the Nine Tails didn't appreciate it and directly snorted coldly, and said.
"Humph! This old man is not interested in running outside now, it's better to stay here comfortably."
Looking at the Nine Tails' appearance, Naruto was speechless for a while. This old fox simply didn't have any concept of "freedom". It was estimated that even if it ran outside, it would find a place where no one would disturb it to sleep.
In the original story, it tried so hard to break free from the seal, probably because it was too bored in the Sealing Space, and there was nothing to relieve boredom. In addition, the time flow rate between the Sealing Space and the outside world was different. It seemed that it had only been imprisoned for decades, but in fact, it had probably been hundreds of years. Just thinking about it felt painful.
"In that case, then do as you please. I will release the seal now. If you want to go out in the future, just tell me."
Seeing that the Nine Tails really didn't care, Naruto simply ignored it and looked at Minato Namikaze, jokingly asking.
"Ready?"
Minato Namikaze, hearing Naruto's joking tone, naturally understood the other's intention, which was to ask if he was ready to be beaten.
Minato Namikaze could only smile wryly and nod, praying in his heart that Kushina Uzumaki would be a little gentler later.
Seeing Minato Namikaze nod, Naruto no longer hesitated.
He mobilized the Chakra within his body according to the method Minato Namikaze had mentioned before, wrapping his hand in Chakra, and raised it towards the seal on the cage.
Crack, crack, crack!
In Minato Namikaze's expectant gaze, the spiral seal on the cage began to rotate, emitting a crisp and loud sound.
Crack!
And as the last sound rang out, the seal on the cage was completely unlocked, and the originally tightly closed door seemed to be pushed by some enormous force, slowly opening to both sides. Accompanied by a dull rubbing sound, the long-closed door finally opened completely.
