Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 36 - : Reveal

Originally, Kurama had always been distant, but now he was about to show a different side of himself.

Kushina took one last look at the peaceful night sky over Konoha before returning home. As she walked, her consciousness drifted into the sealed space within her.

"Kurama, didn't you say you wanted to help Mikoto awaken her Mangekyō Sharingan and take control of the Uchiha clan?"

Kurama's deep, rumbling voice resonated within the space. "We'll act immediately after this mission to the Land of Wind is completed."

Kurama had his own reasons for traveling to the Land of Wind—his true goal was Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

Kushina hesitated for a moment before speaking again. This wasn't like her usual lively and optimistic self.

"What's wrong, Kushina?"

"Kurama, today is my birthday. Can you... say happy birthday to me?"

Her large, expectant eyes gazed up at the massive fox.

For someone like Kushina, who had lost her home and been displaced, coming to Konoha was supposed to mean a fresh start.

She had hoped to live a normal life, but her fate had been sealed the moment she became the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

She had lost Uzumaki Mito, the woman who had loved her like a grandmother, and without Kurama, she wasn't sure how she would have endured it all.

Despite the world painting the Tailed Beasts as monsters, Kushina had learned that they weren't as terrifying as people claimed.

Memories flooded her mind, and in this moment, what she wanted most was a simple birthday wish from the fox within her.

Kurama's nine massive tails swayed lazily behind him. He grinned, revealing rows of sharp fangs.

"Kushina, how old are you today?"

"Fifteen!" she replied seriously.

"Fifteen, huh? You've grown up, Kushina. I suppose I won't call you a brat anymore."

He crossed his arms over his chest, putting on an air of arrogance.

"Kushina, happy birthday."

Kushina's red eyes widened in surprise at his sincere words. Her lips trembled before she let out a wail.

"Wahhh—Kurama, you're being so serious! I'm so touched!"

Tears spilled from her eyes, but she wiped them away quickly. After crying a little longer, she sniffled and looked up at him again.

"Umm... Kurama, can I make an unreasonable request?"

Kurama's ears twitched. "Unreasonable? Forget it."

Kushina immediately waved her hands in protest. "No, no! It's not unreasonable at all! I just... I just want to ask if I can touch your tails."

She still remembered the one time she had touched them—how soft and comfortable they were. That fluffy warmth had stayed in her mind ever since.

Kurama scoffed. "You make it sound like my tails are some kind of rare treasure."

Kushina clasped her hands together and gave him her best puppy-dog eyes.

"Just once, Kurama! Pretty please!"

Kurama sighed, then gave a reluctant nod.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Kushina beamed. "Yay! Kurama, I love you so much!"

But instead of just touching his tails, she threw herself into them, burying her entire body in the soft fur.

Kurama felt a strange warmth at the sentiment but kept his expression neutral. However, he quickly realized his mistake as Kushina clung to his tails, refusing to let go.

"Kurama, this is the best birthday gift ever!"

Kurama let out a low growl. "Enough already."

She ignored him, snuggling further into the fluff.

Finally, Kurama lost his patience and unceremoniously kicked her out of the sealed space. The next thing Kushina knew, she was back in front of her house, still pouting.

"Kurama is so stingy. He wouldn't even let me touch them for a little longer."

She sighed dramatically and pushed open the door to her room—only to freeze at the sight of a figure sitting there.

"Who the hell is in my room?!"

Her hand instinctively reached for a kunai as she stepped forward, but as she got a better look at the intruder, she stopped.

Sitting casually on her bed was a man with striking orange hair and familiar, slit-pupiled red eyes.

Kushina's mouth fell open in shock.

"Handsome guy... who are you?"

For some reason, he felt oddly familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.

The man smirked and spread his hands. "Wow. One second, you're telling me you love me, and the next, you're acting like you don't even know me?"

That voice. That smirk. Those piercing red eyes.

Kushina gasped, her hands trembling slightly as she pointed at him.

"Y-You... Are you—Kurama?!"

"Who else?"

His lips curled, revealing sharp fangs in an almost playful manner.

Kushina let out an excited squeal before launching herself at him, running her hands through his hair.

"Wow, Kurama, it's really you! Your hair is so soft!"

She ruffled it enthusiastically, her fingers sinking into the thick orange strands.

Kurama let out an exaggerated sigh. "Is this all humans think about? First my tails, now my hair?"

Kushina barely heard him, too engrossed in the sensation.

"Kurama, is this because your real body is too big to fit here?"

"Obviously. My full form would tear this place apart."

"So, you used the Transformation Jutsu?"

Kushina continued running her hands along his arms, poking at his muscles, then tracing her fingers along his shoulders. She was absolutely fascinated.

Kurama smirked. "You think this is a transformation?"

Kushina paused and looked up at him, her expression filled with curiosity. "Wait... this isn't a jutsu? Then this is... your real form?"

Kurama nodded, leaning back on her bed. "Took you long enough to figure that out."

Kushina blinked in surprise. "So this is how you actually look when you take human form? That's kinda cool!"

She resumed touching him—this time, patting his arms, poking at his cheeks, even tugging at the tips of his hair.

Kurama, for all his usual indifference, finally twitched in irritation.

"Hey, Kushina, that's enough. You're starting to get too handsy."

Kushina retracted her hands instantly, her face flushing. "I-I'm just amazed! Your Transformation—no, your actual form is too realistic! Even your—"

Kurama shot her a warning glare before she could finish that sentence.

She coughed awkwardly and averted her eyes. "A-Anyway! Kurama, you showing up like this is the best birthday gift ever!"

Kurama chuckled, a rare, amused glint in his eyes. "Enjoy it while it lasts, brat."

And for the first time in a long while, Kushina felt truly happy.
