It wasn't that the Nine-Tailed was acting up; Naruto had been imitating Shisui's behavior, which made the Nine-Tailed quite familiar with Shisui.
He was just an actor from the Uchiha Clan.
And things like the Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't be understood unless one reached a certain level, even if Konoha wasn't deliberately hiding it now.
As a newly graduated rookie, Naruto wouldn't have anyone specifically teaching him about the Mangekyo Sharingan, nor would he usually come across such information.
In previous battles, whether it was Shisui's Susanoo or his Mangekyo Sharingan, they were mostly fleeting glimpses.
Naruto didn't understand what they meant and didn't pay special attention, and within the sealing space, the Nine-Tailed, separated by multiple barriers, also didn't know about this.
Another thing was that Shisui was quite deceptive; he didn't appear to be a strong person at all, especially not a strong person from the Uchiha Clan.
The Nine-Tailed didn't think Shisui posed any threat; at this moment, it was considering whether to kill Naruto to gain freedom.
It had been imprisoned for decades, only getting out once for a breath of fresh air, for less than half a day, and most of that time it was unconscious.
The Nine-Tailed originally thought this boring life would continue forever.
During the time of the first two jailers, Uzumaki Mito, the Nine-Tailed couldn't even dream of moving, let alone freedom; it was constantly bound into a ball by the Adamantine Sealing Chains and hung in the prison, finding it difficult to even make a sound.
During Uzumaki Kushina's time, conditions were slightly better, but it was still tied at its limbs and head, only able to lie on the ground, and occasional meetings consisted of mutual insults.
But a few years ago, ever since a person named Uchiha Tomoki visited, the Nine-Tailed's prison life changed.
First, there was a brat who kept running to it and pestering it, and the key was that he couldn't be scared away.
Secondly, Tomoki had unsealed a corner of the seal, allowing the Nine-Tailed to occasionally perceive the outside world through Naruto, especially after Konoha Voice started; whenever Naruto listened, the Nine-Tailed could also receive it.
The Nine-Tailed, who prided itself as the big brother of the Nine Tailed Beasts, would not stoop to let Naruto know that it liked listening to things to pass the boring time.
Excluding the Six Paths Sage, who in the Nine-Tailed's mind was not human, Naruto was the human the Nine-Tailed had interacted with the most since it gained consciousness.
After seeing Tomoki last time, the Nine-Tailed now calculated that even if it escaped, it wouldn't be free for long and would surely be caught and sealed again.
Perhaps it should just stay here, of course, it would definitely not give its power to this brat.
Gradually understanding, the Nine-Tailed decided to kick Shisui and Naruto out, and then settle down in this one-bedroom-turned-two-bedroom place.
As the Nine-Tailed lowered its head, intending to act, it happened to see the three-tomoe Sharingan in Shisui's eyes transform into the Mangekyo.
!!!
"Naruto, let's go, I'll cooperate with you!"
Shisui's voice came out, instantly alerting the Nine-Tailed; at this moment, the Nine-Tailed felt like someone young was not being honorable and bullying an old man like it.
Giving in was impossible, begging for mercy even more so.
Evil Uchiha!
Rage instantly rose in the Nine-Tailed's heart, and as the Nine-Tailed clearly changed, the sealing space was filled with an ominous aura.
The moment this aura appeared, before Shisui could even activate his genjutsu, a golden chain directly bound the Nine-Tailed's neck, pulling it back to its original position.
"Wow! Big Brother Shisui, that's amazing!"
The sudden change was naturally seen by Naruto, who thought it was Shisui's doing.
"It's not me, Naruto, there's someone else here!"
After Shisui finished speaking, his expression became extremely serious.
After the rapidly retreating Nine-Tailed was pulled back, before it even landed, four more chains appeared, firmly binding its four limbs.
As the Nine-Tailed's body was suppressed, the prison behind it was also revealed, and Shisui and Naruto saw a red-haired woman standing inside.
Red hair, and that attire.
Shisui's heart, which he had been holding, settled, but he did not completely relax his guard.
"Kushina, you crazy old woman actually left Chakra behind!"
The Nine-Tailed's explanation finally made Shisui completely relax, while Naruto's heart was greatly shaken.
That name!
It's Mom!
"Big fox, you wouldn't think I'd abandon my own child, would you? Although I don't know what caused you to open Minato's seal, as long as I'm here, you won't hurt Naruto!"
Unlike Minato's Chakra, which was outside the seal, Kushina, hidden inside the seal, was unaware of the outside world.
Only when the seal was completely opened would Kushina appear; Minato Namikaze had set up at least three layers of security for the Nine-Tailed seal within Naruto's body.
Minato Namikaze's own, to prevent Naruto from being tempted or misled by malicious individuals into damaging the seal.
The second was to keep the key to completely undo the seal at Mount Myōboku.
And the last one was the bottom line after the seal was completely released: to save Naruto and re-seal the Nine-Tailed; Minato left this opportunity to his wife, Naruto's mother.
After hearing the Nine-Tailed's words, Naruto didn't hesitate and immediately ran up.
