This is the most confidential of secrets. If you can avoid mentioning it, then absolutely do not mention it!
"Aomi-kun, my relationship with the Nine-tails is still quite normal."
Kushina slowly said, "Is there something you need this time?"
Aomi looked at Kushina with some surprise, the Nine-tails was actually this obedient...
"I need to let a portion of the Nine-tails' power leak out, disguised as a rampage due to your inability to control it."
Aomi said frankly:
"War is about to break out. The current village strategy is to appear weak to the enemy, allowing them the confidence to attack us."
"Appear weak?"
Kushina said confusedly, "Why give the enemy such an idea?"
Aomi smiled:
"To draw them together, then Konoha will thoroughly beat and scare them, and to make them dare to tear up the newly proposed peace agreement, which will give the village a legitimate reason for unlimited counterattacks."
"Unlimited counterattacks..." Uzumaki Kushina chewed over these words, feeling a chill from them inexplicably.
"Cooperate with me, it will be quick, relax your mind."
Aomi pointed to his own eyes, signaling Kushina to look at him.
Kushina hesitated and looked up, and the moment she met Aomi's Sharingan, they both entered the Sealed Space within her body.
The Nine-tails took a deep breath, it had tried its best to avoid Aomi, but now someone had come knocking at its home.
"Long time no see, Nine-tails."
Aomi waved at the fox with a smile: "I need to borrow some of your Chakra, please cooperate."
His eyes flashed with red light, the tone was polite, but his gaze looked down on the Nine-tails, with an air that permitted no refusal.
The Nine-tails gravely met Aomi's gaze, carefully experiencing Aomi's ocular power.
This fox suddenly widened its eyes, muttering incredulously: "Something's not right, something's not right..."
"No wonder you are like Uchiha Madara!"
After the initial fusion of the bloodline inside Aomi, along with the boost of Indra's Chakra, his physique and aura began to change in quality.
It made the Nine-tails, the strongest split entity of the Ten-tails, feel a stirring from its bloodline and recall past events.
In the battle for the Ninja Sect's heir, the Nine-tails had fought together with Asura against Indra, leaving an indelible memory of the Six Paths Sage's eldest son.
The Nine-tails stared intensely at Aomi.
Even though they were in the Genjutsu Space, the bloodline that Aomi had just begun to fuse was already letting the fox detect an unusual aura.
Uchiha Madara is the reincarnation of Indra Chakra...
But Aomi no longer seemed like the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, he was more like Indra himself had been resurrected!
Especially when combining what Uzumaki Kushina said about Aomi using the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Nine-tails began to have suspicions about Aomi's identity.
Who was Indra?
He was the eldest son of the Six Paths Sage, who created the concept of "Ninjutsu!"
The simple techniques of the Uzumaki Clan were things Indra disdained to use, not things he couldn't master...

Aomi blinked: "Why, did you know me before, Mr. Fox?"
"How could I not recognize..."
The Nine-tails' words stopped at the tip of its tongue, its mind as tangled as a mess of threads.
If Aomi were Indra, this still wouldn't make sense?
Indra's temper and character were completely opposite to Aomi's.
One was cold and proud, the other was warm and sunny.
For the Nine-tails, which had been manipulated by both Uchiha Madara and Aomi, it had strong insights into their differing styles.
Uchiha Madara and Indra were both incredibly violent in their ways, but Aomi was much gentler—completely different approaches.
What on earth was going on here?
The Nine-tails was bewildered...
He had faintly broken the limits of the Uchiha Bloodline. Aomi had a similar ocular power to Indra, but his personality and style were different...
If it weren't for knowing the Six Paths Sage was already dead, the Nine-tails might have suspected this old man had a new lease on life, birthing another child who had Asura's personality and Indra's talents.
"How could I be like Uchiha Madara?"
Aomi looked at the Nine-tails with a chuckle: "He's the Ninja World Asura, compared to him, I'm still far off..."
Even though Aomi didn't know what this fox was thinking, watching its conflicted expression was quite entertaining.
Kushina watched the man and fox curiously from the side.
The way they spoke in riddles left her completely baffled.
The Nine-tails took a deep breath: "What do you want me to do, just say it!"
"Huh?"
Kushina voiced her displeasure: "Why are you cooperating so much with Aomi? I'm your vessel and have to listen to your nagging every day!"
The Nine-tails flicked its ears irritably, ignoring the spicy-tempered Kushina.
How could you compare with Aomi?
From the Nine-tails' perspective, Aomi's status was at least on the level of Indra or Asura, although his power was still far from the peak of those two, his rank was already there.
Purely in terms of bloodline purity, the Nine-tails felt Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were both inferior to Aomi, he just hadn't fully matured yet.
The Nine-tails' brain was close to exploding. It only wanted to quickly finish Aomi's task and then quietly lie down as a fox to figure out the truth of the matter.
"Thank you for cooperating, Nine-tails."
Aomi politely thanked it: "Then release your Chakra, make it violent, but remember not to harm Kushina."
"Impossible!"
The Nine-tails grumpily said: "The seal only loosens when the vessel's emotions fluctuate intensely, normally I can't invade."
Kushina nodded with a bad expression: "That's how it is, Aomi."
"Should I try to stir up my emotions?" Kushina frowned, thinking about recent troubles.
"There's no need for that..."
Slowly, Aomi walked to the bars that held the Nine-tails, channeling his Chakra into the seal.
Soon afterward, the doors representing the seal opened!
Kushina's eyes widened: "Aomi, what are you doing!"
Was this the removal of the seal?
Even though Uzumaki Mito's great barrier was in place and the Nine-tails was trapped inside her, without the seal's reinforcement, she had no confidence in resisting the Nine-tails' invasion...
But Aomi's movements were faster.
He stepped into the cage, his ocular power became an invisible blade, swiftly cutting the chains binding the Nine-tails' limbs!
The Nine-tails joyfully moved its limbs, howling loudly!
Kushina turned pale; Aomi had actually even removed the final seal Mito used to bind the Nine-tails...
The Nine-tails' eyes brimmed with malice, greedily looking at the open gate of the seal.
But immediately, Aomi lightly coughed, interrupting the Nine-tails' thoughts, reaching out to it:
"First collaboration, you help me release the Chakra, I help you gain some freedom."
The Nine-tails looked down at Aomi, its breathing gradually heavy, eyes increasingly puzzled.
In fact, the Nine-tails understood, although in such a situation, Aomi appeared to have removed most of its seals...
If Aomi wanted to reseal it, it wouldn't be difficult.
Since Aomi could undo the seal, he could use his ocular power to control it and then reinforce it again. This simple logic, even the Nine-tails understood well enough.
Yet even so, Aomi still wanted to cooperate with it once...
A collaboration between humans and Tailed Beasts.
The Nine-tails stared at Aomi; this was certainly not Indra's style.
But regardless of the style, the Nine-tails felt not a shred of malice from Aomi.
"Hmph..."
With a cold snort, the Nine-tails cautiously extended its paw towards Aomi.
The hand of the man and the paw of the fox clasped together.
