"Because he knew you would be able to handle and wanted his son to be the hero of the---"
"Then Why am I known as Demon Fox in the village?" Naruto shouted while looking at Goku and Tsunade.
Goku and Tsunade were both smiling at him and their gaze, that was the gaze Naruto wanted to see every day. The gaze was full of acceptance. A warm feeling appeared in his heart but his anger wasn't faded.
"Tell me, Why am I known as Demon Fox in the village?"
Goku looked at Naruto and asked, "What will you do after knowing why you were called a Demon Fox in the village?"
"Ah! I-Ah!--- I will beat the person who spread the rumor."
"And how do you know that someone spread a rumor?"
"Huh? Didn't you say it before?"
"So you are smart but acted stupid," Goku said which made no sense to Naruto. Even Tsunade wondered what Goku was talking about.
"Anyways, even if I would tell you who spread the rumor, you won't be able to do anything to him? After all, he is already gone. Leave this and tell me, do you want to meet your father?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't my father..."
"Goku, This isn't something to be joked at."
Goku looked at the duo and smiled, "Come with me."
He said and created two clones to guard the place.
"Also, Tsunade, you also create two clones in this place. If the Nine Tails Chakra leaks, which I don't think should be possible, but just by any chance, if the Chakra leaks, then you will use Wood Release to trap Naruto and then absorb the chakra."
"Huh? Goku, what do--"
"Shush! Just create the clones and come here."
Tsunade looked at him for a moment and then nodded. She created two clones in the place and appeared at the side. Goku put his fingers on their forehead.
A moment later, the trio arrived in a different place. The place was like a sewer with large pipes going from one place to another.
"Huh? Are we in his Mindscape? How can it be so bad?" Tsunade said as she looked at a sewer like Mindscape and wondered, why it looked like.
'Is it because of how he lived? But wouldn't that mean...'
"Here, hold my hand." Hiroto looked at the scared Naruto. His transformation had been removed from the Mindscape.
"Where is this place? Why do I feel so chilly here?" Naruto said while looking around.
"We are in your Mindscape, it's a representation of you. Besides, you of all people should feel most comfortable here. It means there is a problem in the place."
"I don't understand what you said," Naruto said and Hiroto chuckled.
"You will see, just don't get too scared later."
"Hiroto, is this okay? Just what did you see in the dream? To bring us into his mindscape. Shouldn't Nine tails be..."
"Yeah! It is here. We will arrive in a few minutes."
They kept on walking for a few minutes with Naruto holding Hiroto's hand.
'Is this how it feels to have someone?' Naruto thought while glancing at Tsunade and Hiroto. Aside from the uncle at Ramen Shop and Jiji, Hiroto, and Goku were the only ones who didn't have a look of hate in their eyes.
They arrived in front of a huge gate and the trio could feel maliciousness from it. Naruto started to shudder as he felt the chakra and he started to feel hurt.
Hiroto looked at the Nine-Tails Chakra and thought of controlling it. The area around the three was cleared and now they didn't feel anything.
Two Eyes opened in the Gate and the trio saw a Giant Fox arriving near the gate.
"Humans! What are you doing here with my new jailer? And why are you not affected by my Chakra?" The Nine Tails Spoke in a deep masculine voice and The trio could feel the disdain, and hatred in his voice.
Naruto shuddered and even Hiroto felt a chill as he heard his voice.
"Hiroto, I still think we should leave this place," Tsunade said while looking at Nine Tails. Her grandfather had controlled Nine Tails wood release and she also has confidence before but now meeting him, her confidence shattered.
"Don't worry, Kyuubi no Yoko, or I should say Kurama isn't unreasonable, isn't it, Kurama?" Hiroto spoke as he walked forward and arrived in front of the gate.
"How Do you know my name? Human, who are you? Tell me or I will kill you." Kurana said and he moved his hands to pierce Hiroto with his finger but he felt his body stop as he was about to reach him.
Tsunade was shocked as she heard what Hiroto said but what shocked her more was Kurama trying to pierce Hiroto with his finger and then stopping just a few distance from him.
"Can't control your body? Kurama, I am the natural nemesis of all Tailed Beasts. So, Now can we finally talk?"
Hiroto had already experimented on whether he could control Nine Tails Chakra and only then he moved forward to the gate. His life was important to him and he didn't want to gamble it. Besides, he could just move away as he knew Kurama can't escape the seal.
"Who are you human? How can you control my Chakra so perfectly? And how do you even know my name?"
Hiroto gave Kurama and grin and said, "Do you want to have a bet with me Kurama? If you win, I will tell you everything and if I win, you will not do anything that would harm us and not try to influence him. You will cooperate with us in exchange, will you?"
Kurama looked at Hiroto and snorted.
"Why would I trust humans anyway? You all only lie and do whatever you think is right. I have seen the brat's life and know how bad Humans are?"
Hearing this, Tsunade frowned while Naruto became downcast. As for Hiroto, he just chuckled at Kurama's answer.
