Chapter 5 Name (Revision)

  Huh? I didn't wait for the expected pain, but instead fell onto something soft and couldn't help but pinch it to take a look.

  It's warm and cozy, with very soft fur, yeah, just right in terms of hardness and softness, seems like it would be great to sleep on...

  Hey! A low shout stopped some of my somewhat impolite behavior.

  As I lifted my head, I met those beautiful golden big eyes just in time.

  Hehe, I was wrong, didn't expect that the pain from the talisman would not only accumulate but also have an amplifying effect! Sorry, my body is a bit uncomfortable right now and can't get up. If you don't want me to stay here, your hand can just put me down, I won't mind. And if you want to scold me, I won't mind either. I'm not embarrassed at all, instead, I smiled at him with ease, and my facial expression wasn't affected by the feeling in my body.

  Yes, just like his brother, he always had a gentle smile on his face.

  Even at that time, he still had an unchanged smile.

  Are you an idiot? The voice of the nine-tailed demon fox came faintly.

  I didn't expect that with the same voice, but after removing all the negative emotions, this clear and gentle tone was so enchanting that I unconsciously praised: Your voice is really good! ... Ah! It hurts, you don't even say a word before pulling your hand away, no psychological preparation at all.

  As expected, you're an idiot! The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said with a hint of laughter and scolding.

  Seeing the nine-tailed demon fox finally showing a somewhat angry expression, I couldn't help but ask a question.

  If I tear off all the talismans, can you leave then?

  I'm telling you, ah!…… Of course it's… no way! The nine-tailed demon fox seemed to have wanted to tease the strange little ghost a bit more, but upon seeing that even in such a terrible physical state, he was still crawling towards the direction of the cage, seemingly wanting to tear off the talisman paper again, and immediately responded quickly.

  So that's it! Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought that after tearing everything apart, you could break free from the seal. My expectations were shattered, my motivation disappeared, and I collapsed to the ground.

  I originally wanted to see the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's proud and domineering figure running freely on the earth!

  It must be beautiful, more beautiful than being trapped in a cage now. Living things shouldn't be locked up in cages to begin with. Dying is just dying, but this kind of torture is harder to bear than death!

  I can understand the feeling of being locked in a cage.

  Endless desolation, profound and immeasurable loneliness, if it were a normal life, perhaps would have driven one mad long ago?

  The talisman is used to prevent touching the sealed entity, that is, the white cage. The talisman itself has no sealing effect, except for having a painful soul-hurting effect and also closing my senses, making me unable to perceive the outside situation. What do you want to do? The nine-tailed fox saw that the little ghost's eyes lit up again, and suddenly felt an ominous omen.

  It turned out to have special effects, so... Hehe!

  I jumped up in an instant, and at the same time grabbed a handful of talismans, then... fell down.

  It's the same pain again. I used all my strength to try and turn myself over, but my numb and paralyzed body made my entire movement look like a caterpillar moving.

  Suddenly, my entire body was suspended in mid-air, the nine-tailed demon fox stretched out its claws and grasped my back, lifting me up, and "especially" kept a distance from the cage.

  It's terrible, it seems that my previous performance has made the nine-tailed fox wary of me. In this case, I think it will be very difficult for me to secretly tear off the talisman paper again.

  I gazed again at the golden double eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and just happened to see the slightly distorted face of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Although the pain on my body was no less than before, but the laughter that came from the bottom of my heart seemed to have a pain-relieving effect, I couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly.

  Hahaha!

  Shut up! The nine-tailed demon fox heard my burst of laughter and her face slowly turned red.

  Hahaha - cough, hahaha, coughing and choking! The red fox face is really too funny, and it's the famous nine-tailed demon fox's face turning red! Ahhh! Laughing too hard, my whole body hurts again, I'm groaning in pain while laughing, it's truly a case of "extreme joy begets sorrow".

  The nine-tailed demon fox looked at the strange little devil who was still laughing loudly despite his physical pain, and thought of putting him down, but was also afraid. No, to be exact, she had never thought that as a dignified nine-tailed demon fox, she would actually "fear" a little devil's chaotic movements sealing the talisman paper on her cage.

  The nine-tailed demon fox smiled wryly and continued to grab the strange little devil, but was completely unaware of his current thoughts, which were just like those of an elder towards a mischievous younger generation... You!

  It's really strange...... The nine-tailed demon fox let out a deep sigh in his heart, but even he himself didn't know who that "strange" was referring to.

  After a brief moment of silence, we spoke simultaneously.

  Tell me your name, okay?

  Stinky... kid, what's your name?

  Don't you know?

  Nonsense! I can only sense the outside situation when you're emotionally excited, otherwise, I don't know anything and have no way of knowing. The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit said with a hint of annoyance.

  Goodness gracious! This... should be... can't blame me, right? But it's not like I sealed you away either.

  Ah, got it, kiddo! What's with asking for my name? Just call me Jiǔwěi (Nine Tails) and that'll do!

  Kyuubi, it's just a code name, just like the Konoha people call me a monster. I want to know your real name, something to call "you", not something to refer to the "Nine-Tails". I'm not pleased when Naruto Uzumaki always calls you "Kyuubi", after all, that kind of naming is extremely disrespectful, it's like calling someone "that human".

  Perhaps the respect of those "people" will only be shown to "people", or maybe also to what they "think" is a "person".

  ......September...... You can call me September. The nine-tailed demon fox seems to sense the true thoughts in my heart.

  I didn't notice the hesitation before the nine-tailed fox spoke out its name, Kugetsu? What a nice-sounding name! I gave a heartfelt compliment.

  Kid, don't try to change the subject, you asked for my name, what about yours?

  My... name... is? Whirlpool... Naruto? No, other people's expectations for this body have nothing to do with me, and I can't use my "previous" name either. The one that disappeared in the rain that night... I have memories of my past, but they're not mine, and also the memories that this body "should" have. Then who am I?

  Who... am I? A monster? My mind sank into a state of confusion, and I didn't know what to call myself.

  Humans exist by acknowledging each other, most people think I'm a "monster", so am I a "monster"?

  "Hey, kiddo, nothing wrong? It's just a nickname, no need to make a fuss. Don't have to be like this, do you? The Nine-Tailed Fox gazed at the strange child with eyes that gradually filled with bewilderment, even to the point of being dazed."

  The nine-tailed demon fox didn't know it was just a small problem, how did it end up like this.

  The nine-tailed demon fox couldn't understand why some people attached so much importance to "names", far beyond what he could comprehend.

  "A name" is more than just a word for others to call you by.

  I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know, I really don't know. I am not that person, not a whirlpool, not a monster. Who am I?

  (I, now don't have the qualifications to own that "name"…… I'm not "him", I'm not completely "him".)

  I don't know what can be considered as my real name? Sorry, sorry! Ahh! Cough! I don't know what's wrong with me, I kept apologizing to Katsuragi frantically.

  My mind was suddenly and violently shaken, all the pain that had been suppressed at the sensory threshold mixed with the memories of madness that burst out, and the real physical condition became more severe. Uncontrollable fresh blood poured out from between my hands covering my face, and in that instant, I felt that my field of vision only had a dazzling and eerie bright red.

  It's a bit difficult to repair!
