An: today I am releasing two chapters and maybe I will add another one later //thanks for the feedback so far // enjoy.

---------------------------------------------------------

Entering the prison cell where someone like the nine tails can kill you anytime might seem risky but to me, it's not, because the moment I decided to use this kind of approach, most of my attention was on using the loading function of the system, and the rest of it was used to analyze everything around me especially the behavior of the nine tail to see through his intentions and currently as much as he's putting a sinister façade in front of me, inside I can sense he's hesitating.

As I walked inside I can see his eyes shone for a second before a huge hand caught my body and raised it in the air and now I can see its huge body having red-orange colored fur with black fur around its red eyes that stretch up to its ears, and nine long curved tails. It also has an upper-body structure of a human.

The nine tails gave me that sinister smile again and said "I got you now kid how do you want to die?"

I looked at him coldly unaffected by him pretending to look evil and being thankful for the training I did in this past month or so because if I was a normal civilian my body wouldn't hold for long under the pressure of this squeeze.

After adjusting to the pressure I said "if this is your choice hurry up and kill me don't waste my time".

My response made his mouth twitch and growled at me " grrrr kid do you think I won't kill you?"

"no, but don't forget what I am offering you and I already showed you enough sincerity by coming here unprotected so if all this doesn't work I can only blame my luck if you want to kill me go ahead" I responded.

I can feel how conflicted his emotions are from the continuous flickering of his eyes, but soon enough the hand that was clutching me loosened a little bit, even though I was still held by him this time it's much more gentler and was followed by him saying " kid even if you have courage that doesn't mean you can help, you are weak"

'Well of course genius I barely been here for a month what do you expect not to mention being a 5 years old ' I thought with annoyance while outside my face didn't change at all and I said "yes but I have a plan but for it to work I first need you to cooperate with me and we need trust for that".

"oh tell me then what kind of great plan a kid still wet behind the ears like you can come up with " the nine tails said mockingly with its deep voice.

"I won't tell you anything before you show some trust in me" I said and the nine tails increased his squeeze again while saying " tell me or I will kill you " while glaring at me.

"No" I said while returning the glare.

Seeing that I wasn't taking a step back the nine tails reluctantly let go of me and said "here I let you go now tell me".

I couldn't help but look at him amusingly and said" I didn't know the famous nine tails would try to trick a five years old like, seriously what's the difference between you holding me and me still in this cell obviously you can catch me again anytime you want ".

The nine tails looked embarrassed for an instant because I saw through him but tried to hide it quickly before saying " Tch what do you want to do then?"

I looked at him and said " simple, allow me to leave the cell and I will start trusting you ".

He looked at me with flickering eyes before he lay down; I noticed a trace of sadness in his eyes while he said "okay you can leave".

I didn't say anything and turned around and started walking back to the door while I thought about this encounter that made my heart almost stop many times but I hid it as much as possible even though I knew he can sense my emotions, still my pride didn't allow me to show it and even now the fear of not knowing if you are going to get stabbed in the back or not is making me sick but I held it in.

While deep in thought, I quickly found myself in front of the same metallic door and passed it without anything happening which made me heave a sigh of relief before I turned around and looked at the lonely orange figure laying down while silently looking at me with unreadable eyes.

I quickly calmed my heart and walked back in, which made the nine tails show a surprised but also delighted face and I quickly arrived in front of him, sat down, and looked deeply at his giant blood red eyes with vertical slits inside and said "now we have some basic trust let introduce ourselves, I will start, my name is Bakorio Uchiha and my dream is to fill the void in my heart".

The nine tails looked surprised at my dream but decided to ask about it another time "my name is Kurama and my dream is to be free and get revenge on those that imprisoned me" Kurama said with both hope and hate.

"Kurama huh, you have a nice name" I said with a smile and I can see the delight he was trying to hide when I complimented him " Hmph of course my name is the best" he said arrogantly before that arrogance turned to doubt and he said " so how are you going to free me, you should know that if you just release me from the kid he will die and I will just be sealed again by someone in this village or other villages".

I responded " yes I know, and what you don't know is that even unsealing you won't be that easy because when the fourth sealed you he sealed both his and his wife's chakra here just in case to help their child with suppressing you in case of accidents "

He looked surprised and angry at the thought the people that sealed him are close around here but I quickly calmed him down and said " I know how you are feeling but I have a plan for them to solve the issue of you getting sealed" when he heard me he calmed down and told me to keep explaining.

"The problem you and the other tailed beast have is that you are made of chakra which makes sealing techniques extra effective against you, so I am planning to convince Minato and his wife Kushina to help us create something like an anti seal so that it will be harder to seal you in the future, and they are two of the most skilled sealing masters I know of so the probability of making such a seal is quite high what do you think?" I said.

Kurama looked surprised and delighted at my idea because if it's possible, he will truly become free with no one capable of sealing him but having some doubts he said "but how are you going to convince them?"

"Just leave that to me" I said with a confident smile.
