Whitebeard vaguely understood that a monster was inside Naruto, but he didn't know the details.
In fact, Whitebeard wasn't too concerned.
To him, his son was his son.
So what if there was a monster inside him?
It didn't change the fact that Naruto was his son.
But Naruto cared a lot.
"Nine-Tails Jinchūriki?" This term confused Naruto.
He struggled under the heavy load, trying to lift his head to look at Kakashi, who seemed a bit uneasy.
"Uncle Kakashi, what is this? Why am I a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki?"
He didn't understand what the term meant.
However, Naruto could guess it was related to the "demon fox."
Thinking of this, Naruto's emotions became unsettled, and he urgently asked the silent Kakashi, "Is this why everyone in the village hates me? Because I'm a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki?"
Kakashi fell silent.
For a long while.
Under Naruto's expectant gaze, Kakashi could only give this answer: "Naruto, some things will be explained to you when you grow up. Lord Hokage will tell you."
"White-haired brat!"
Whitebeard's voice boomed, "Why are you Konoha ninjas so hesitant and evasive? If Naruto wants to know what it means, just tell him!"
The end of Murakumogiri struck the ground behind Kakashi with a "boom," stopping just ten centimeters away from him.
Kakashi felt the gust of wind sweep past his heels.
In front of him was the expectant son of his teacher.
Behind him was Whitebeard, who blocked his retreat and made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Kakashi wished he could slap himself.
But when he saw Naruto's dirty, weary face from the intense training, he thought of two faces.
Kushina-sensei...
Minato-sensei...
"A Jinchūriki is someone who has a tailed beast or the chakra of a tailed beast sealed within them, or you can say that a Jinchūriki is a vessel that contains the tailed beast."
Kakashi began to explain, no longer evading.
"A tailed beast? A vessel?" Whitebeard raised an eyebrow.
"Whitebeard-sama, you must have already sensed the tremendous potential within Naruto, which is beyond ordinary understanding," Kakashi continued to explain. "Only a small part of that potential belongs to Naruto himself."
"The majority comes from the tailed beast! A beast known as the Nine-Tails! Because of its existence, Naruto possesses incredible potential."
"Every time Naruto is on the brink of death, the orange energy that flashes on his body is the chakra of the Nine-Tails!"
After hearing this, Whitebeard showed no reaction, as he had already suspected something like this.
But Naruto was stunned.
"I... I have a tailed beast inside me? It's called the Nine-Tails?"
Naruto suddenly recalled having strange dreams.
He often dreamt of a peculiar creature.
That creature was enormous.
"In fact, Konoha doesn't know its real name," Kakashi shook his head, his expression complex. "That's just a nickname Konoha gave to that powerful tailed beast."
"I'm hated in the village because of it?" Five-year-old Naruto began to understand.
"Yes."
Kakashi answered, "The tailed beast is very dangerous. A few years ago, it caused unprecedented destruction to Konoha."
"Many people died back then..."
Seeing Naruto's shocked expression, Kakashi quickly added, "It's not your fault. It was the tailed beast that did those things."
Naruto felt all his strength drain away.
The two hundred pounds of weight immediately pressed him down.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
"I... I have a monster that hurt the village inside me." For Naruto, who aspired to be Hokage and wanted everyone's love, this harsh reality was like shattering his dreams.
Naruto mumbled, "I'm... I'm actually a monster? I hurt the village, I hurt everyone."
"I... I..."
His emotions became unprecedentedly chaotic.
The seal containing the Nine-Tails began to waver.
Naruto's eyes began to change, becoming those of a beast.
"Lord Hokage knew all along... He didn't tell me, so I wasn't misunderstood. I really am a demon fox."
Naruto's fingernails started to elongate.
They became sharp.
...
At the same time, the Nine-Tails sealed within him laughed maniacally.
"Ahahaha! That's it! That's it, ahahaha! This white-haired ninja named Kakashi is more pleasing to the eye than Whitebeard! I can clearly feel the darkness within this brat being awakened!"
The Nine-Tails' massive body slammed into the seal.
Its laugh grew even more frenzied.
"Say more! Say more! As long as this brat's emotions completely collapse, I can use the opportunity to break this damn seal!"
The Nine-Tails' chakra spread wildly inside Naruto, affecting his mind.
And his body.
...
Kakashi, watching Naruto's transformation, quickly stopped talking.
He placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders, feeling the cold, evil chakra of the Nine-Tails.
This unfathomable, evil chakra made Kakashi's expression change drastically.
"Naruto! Calm down!" Kakashi urged, "This is all the Nine-Tails' doing, not yours! You're not the demon fox! It's the real culprit!"
"Naruto?" Kakashi found that Naruto wasn't listening.
It was as if the Nine-Tails' chakra had interfered with his hearing.
"I don't know if my sealing jutsu will work on a tailed beast," Kakashi took a deep breath.
He couldn't let Naruto continue like this.
Or else Naruto would go berserk!
Just then, Kakashi sensed a huge threat overhead.
Looking up, he saw a massive fist coming down!
He instantly dodged.
Boom!!!
A fist larger than Naruto's entire body slammed into Naruto, driving him to the ground like a nail.
The force of the punch caused the ground to tremble violently.
The power of the punch was enough to flatten a piece of steel!
"Idiot son!"
Whitebeard's roar carried an overwhelming Haoshoku Haki: "Don't let the power you possess swallow your will!"
Boom!!!!
Haoshoku Haki washed over Naruto's spirit.
The powerful punch shattered the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Naruto foamed at the mouth.
His eyes rolled back.
He fainted on the spot.
"Damn Whitebeard!!!" The Nine-Tails' feral grin froze on its fox face.

Naruto felt like he was having a very vivid dream.
This dream felt incredibly real to him.
He dreamt of arriving at a place that resembled a prison.
There was water everywhere on the ground, and the air was very damp and eerie.
The prison was vast.
It was so vast that he felt like a tiny ant, and he could vaguely see a massive shadow within the prison.
Naruto remembered dreaming about this place before.
But this time, the dream was particularly clear.
In the dream.
He could faintly hear the huge shadow in the prison grumbling, and Naruto could guess that it was in a complaining tone.
He heard words like "damn Whitebeard."
"Hey! You can't talk bad about Dad!!"
Naruto didn't know who was in the prison, but Dad was so good to him that he couldn't allow anyone to speak ill of him.
"Hmm?" Kurama turned its massive head in surprise.
It looked down and saw Naruto's small figure.
In an instant.
Kurama bared its fangs.
"Brat! You actually came here." It looked ferocious, like a beast ready to devour someone. The overwhelming killing intent within the sealed space was terrifying.
Kurama never had any goodwill towards humans.
It only had resentment and killing intent!
At first, Kurama didn't have strong feelings towards humans until, one day, someone inexplicably captured it.
Then that bastard put it under control with Susanoo, forcing it to fight against someone incredibly strong.
Kurama remembered being beaten badly.
Yes, it was the one being beaten.
Then.
It became a tool for humans, inexplicably sealed inside a human. When that human finally died, it was sealed inside another human.
When it finally got out, it was controlled again!
When it regained consciousness, Kurama was shocked to find its body had been forcibly split in half.
One-half of its body went who knows where.
The other half, the current Kurama, was sealed inside this kid named Naruto Uzumaki.
Shouting to the heavens was futile.
Calling to the earth was useless.
Today, it finally had a chance to break free from the seal, but that damn Whitebeard ruined it.
How could Kurama not be furious?
It was livid!
The anger mixed with hatred towards humans made Kurama's killing intent surge when it looked at Naruto.
If Kurama's killing intent was a vast ocean, Naruto was just a small boat.
Tossed about by the waves.
"Gulp!" As Kurama's massive body appeared in front of him, five-year-old Naruto couldn't help but feel afraid.
But remembering how this big fox had just badmouthed Dad, he somehow found courage.
Naruto tried to stand tall.
He stiffened his face.
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Naruto suddenly recalled what Kakashi had said and widened his eyes, "Are you the Nine-Tails Uncle Kakashi talked about? Are you the one who made me the demon fox of the village?"
"Huff—" Kurama exhaled a gust of eerie wind, nearly knocking Naruto over.
Kurama bared its sharp teeth.
It grinned menacingly, "Yes! It's me! I even killed a lot of people! Are you angry, brat?"
Naruto gritted his teeth.
How could he not be angry?
"Hahaha! Brat! You don't know the whole story. That white-haired brat didn't tell you everything about what happened back then!"
Kurama laughed joyfully, "Over the years, I've watched you being isolated, mocked, and bullied... It was hilarious! Hahaha!"
"Damn it!" Naruto clenched his teeth, "So all of this is because of you!"
"Don't blame the tailed beast, brat!!"
Kurama laughed maliciously, "It's not my choice to be here. The one who sealed me inside you... is your own father!!"
"Ahahahahaha!!!"
"Get lost, brat!"
...
Naruto woke up with a start, drenched in sweat.
When he opened his eyes, the prison disappeared, and so did the fox who called itself "the great lord." What he saw now was the familiar yet strange forest.
"Eh? Eh eh eh!" As Naruto tried to stand, he nearly fell over.
Instinctively, he reached out to grab something.
The familiar feeling made Naruto realize he was lying on Dad's shoulder.
He had slept on Dad's shoulder!
And had a nightmare!
"Idiot son, you're awake?" Whitebeard, whose beard was tugged, glanced at the now-awake Naruto.
"Dad!" Naruto's turbulent thoughts settled.
For some reason, dreaming about the Nine-Tails made Naruto restless, but seeing Dad brought him unprecedented peace.
"Naruto, are you okay? Do you feel anything strange in your body? Did anything unusual happen while you were asleep?" Another concerned voice came from the same side.
It was Kakashi speaking.
Yesterday, seeing the Nine-Tails' chakra raging in Naruto, even sprouting two tails, Kakashi had been drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately.
Whitebeard had decisively knocked Naruto out with a punch, though the force of that punch had given Kakashi quite a scare.
Kakashi had worried that Naruto might never wake up.
"I... I think I dreamed of a huge fox." Naruto recalled the dream and said, "It insulted Dad, so I told it not to."
A fox?
The Nine-Tails?
Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat.
His biggest fear was that Naruto, with his immature mind, might be influenced by the tailed beast.
"It didn't say anything to you, did it?"
Kakashi asked.
"It said..." Naruto whispered, "It said it was sealed inside me by my own father."
Kakashi: "..."
Damn!
Whitebeard's frown deepened as he looked at the now-depressed Naruto. He snorted, "Such a dangerous thing, and he sealed it inside his own son?!"
Is this considered being a good father?
Hmph!
Not at all!!!
"Uncle Kakashi, is it true?" Naruto asked, "Was the big fox lying to me?"
"..." Kakashi was silent.
If it were just Naruto, he might have told a white lie, but Whitebeard was also present.
"It's true." Kakashi tried to defend his teacher, "But your father... he had no choice. The situation was urgent, and this might have been the best solution."
"Bullshit!" Whitebeard scoffed, "No matter how urgent, a father shouldn't let his child bear this! Did he think about how Naruto would be discriminated against? Did he consider that Naruto would be bullied? Did he care about Naruto?"
"Hmph! An unkind father!!!"
Whitebeard couldn't understand why a father would let his child endure all this suffering.
He considered it irresponsible.
And began to criticize Minato.
This left Kakashi speechless.
Unable to refute.
