Time flew by – a year passed quickly.

Naruto was seven years old. He continued his regular training. Two months ago, he had switched from hammering trees to kicking them. The poor tree from before, having been beaten for a year, had finally broken.

Feeling that his fist techniques were complete, Naruto started practicing legwork.

Then, a passing expert began to instruct him in leg techniques.

Although the expert's green jumpsuit and melon-rind haircut were hilarious, he was indeed very reliable.

Whenever the expert left, he would always be carrying a bucket of meat, sometimes two.

After deep negotiations with the Third Hokage, Naruto was required to attend two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. This was Naruto's bottom line.

At this moment, Naruto was communicating with Kurama in the seal space.

In the past year, Kurama had gained even more weight, developing a tendency towards becoming a One-Tail Shukaku.

Naruto thought that if things continued like this, even if he released Kurama during the Chunin Exams, Shukaku wouldn't recognize what it was.

If that Kurama were placed in the anime from his previous life, then the Third Hokage's voiceover in the first episode would be:

"In the past, there was a Nine-Tailed Demon Boar causing trouble!

The Demon Boar had nine tails!

When the Boar turned over, mountains collapsed and tsunamis rose!"

"Little brat, I sense you're thinking of something bad," Kurama sensed malice from Naruto again.

"Nothing of the sort. Speaking of which, have you ever drunk alcohol?" Naruto changed the subject, beginning today's "courting death" grand plan.

"This old man has never drunk it," Kurama recalled his life. He seemed to have never actually drunk alcohol. Alcohol was brewed by humans, and humans ran away at the sight of him, except for this little brat, the Sharingan freak from before, and the Wood Release freak.

"Want to try some?" Naruto's eyes were filled with a certain mischievous encouragement.

"This old man doesn't think alcohol would do anything to me," Kurama had seen what humans were like after drinking alcohol. It was as if they had become completely different people. He was a Tailed Beast. He didn't think he would get drunk.

"Okay," Naruto understood what Kurama meant: he wanted to try it, and he thought he was so awesome that he wouldn't get drunk.

Naruto began to pour alcohol into the third pool. This pool was newly made. With multiple shadow clones pouring together, the alcohol pool was completed in less than ten minutes. Adding the meat pool next to it, it could basically be called a "lake of wine and a forest of meat." Moreover, Kurama's physique was developing in the direction of Dong Zhuo.

[Alcohol Barrel]: The same size as a round barrel, but filled with vintage wine. Naruto hadn't drunk it, so he didn't know the taste.

Moving the straw to the alcohol pool, Naruto made a gesture of invitation to Kurama.

Kurama bit the straw and took a deep breath. A strange taste came, flowing down his throat to his stomach.

Before long, Naruto saw white vapor rising from Kurama's body.

"Don't use chakra to dispel it!" Naruto truly had his eyes opened. Tailed Beasts could actually turn alcohol into vapor to release it. Ninjas got drunk after drinking too much alcohol. Although they had strong bodies and chakra reinforcement, ninjas could still be knocked down by alcohol, as referenced by Rock Lee, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

"Little brat, you're annoying," Kurama took a few more big gulps. This time, he didn't use chakra. The alcohol began to spread, and his body actually felt tingly.

As the first Tailed Beast to drink alcohol, Kurama used his experiment to prove that Tailed Beasts could also get drunk.

After a few more sips, Kurama started to float. This feeling was truly magical... Was this how humans felt when they drank alcohol?

Naruto watched Kurama's eyes begin to drift as he became drunk, and prepared to trick Kurama.

"Big Fox, when do you think I'll grow up?" Naruto began the first step of his trickery.

"This old man... hic... doesn't know." Kurama's eyes were blurry. Who cared how long it took you humans to grow up? Anyway, they were all so small.

"Big Fox, you said you could beat ten of me when you were six. Were you that big when you were six?" Step two of the trickery. The plan was currently going smoothly.

"This old man... when I was a kid...??" Under the influence of alcohol, the fox's thinking was sluggish. He thought for several minutes: "When this old man... hic... was a kid... I was a bit taller than you... are now."

Naruto found it very interesting. This fox was too easy to fool when he was drunk. He said everything with a little trickery.

"Is that so?" Naruto made a fox model at the fastest speed of his life: a normal fox, not at all like Kurama.

"This old man... hic... remembers... being a bit fatter than this... and the ears were also... hic..."

Naruto modified it while asking questions. Finally, after coloring it, a fox that was almost identical to the little Kurama in the anime took shape.

Looking at the little fox in front of him, Kurama's thoughts returned to a thousand years ago. He was squatting in front of the Sage of Six Paths like this, listening to his last words. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed... Old man, your ideal... may have failed... Humans can't coexist peacefully with Tailed Beasts... except... for this little brat in front of me...

"Big Fox, besides the title of Nine-Tails, do you have any other names?" Naruto's last question. Seeing that Kurama was about to fall asleep, if he didn't ask now, he would have to wait until who-knows-when. He had to take advantage of Kurama's drunkenness to trick it out.

Otherwise, with Kurama's personality, he might never say it in this lifetime.

"Little brat... hic... remember this... This old man is called... hic... Kurama..."... Old man, your ideal might succeed after all...

"Phew..." Seeing Kurama fall asleep, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. Today's "courting death" was a great success. As for what he would do after Kurama woke up?

Naruto waved his hand. What else could he do? Wait to die.

With the mindset of "I'm going to die anyway," Naruto began the next wave of "courting death," and started walking towards Kurama's abdomen.

Real World

"Naruto-kun," Hinata's shy voice, still dragging with an aftertone, was soft and sweet.

"Hmm?" Naruto was puzzled. What was wrong with Hinata today?

In the spirit world, Naruto continued to walk towards Kurama.

After more than a year of training and cheat enhancement, Naruto was already able to synchronize the two worlds. It's just that both sides reacted slower, similar to multitasking.

Real World: Hinata twisted her hands shyly behind her back, as if she had a big treasure.

Spirit World: Naruto stretched his wicked hands towards Kurama's abdomen.

Every pet owner knows that an animal's belly is basically the most satisfying place to rub and the most satisfying to suck up.

Feeling the fox fur, the touch was really incredibly good... He quickly rubbed it while Kurama was drunk, enjoying it first before anything else.

Real World: Hinata didn't know how much courage she had mustered. She took out a lunch box from behind her back. "Naruto-kun... This... is... is... I... for... you... a bento..."

The more she said, the redder her face became. When she remembered the way her mother and sisters looked at her when she made the bento, shy seven-year-old Hinata's head began to smoke.

Naruto looked at the red-faced little loli and wanted to reach out to take it.

Unexpectedly, the fox in the spirit world suddenly moved.

Similarly, anyone who has had a pet knows that animals will subconsciously kick their legs when their bellies are touched, except for those with particularly good personalities.

Clearly, Kurama didn't have a good personality.

Naruto, who had just rubbed it a couple of times, didn't react at all. He only felt his body being struck hard and flying backwards. Only in the air did he see that the fox had kicked its leg.

Boom! He crashed into the stone wall. The wall behind him cracked into a spiderweb...

Real World

Just as Naruto wanted to take the bento, he was kicked by Kurama in the spirit world. The feedback made Naruto's blood surge throughout his body, and his face turned red.

"Eek... thud." Naruto fainted magnificently.

Little Loli Hinata saw Naruto faint with a red face, and remembered the scene that would appear every time she was extremely shy.


She muttered softly: "Naruto-kun is actually a shy person too."
