Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Kurama’s Realization: Could Snowy Be Summoned Like Me?



The chakra was similar to Kurama's, yet still different in some key ways. What really got to him, though, was the intoxicating scent that came with it.

Just as Kurama was about to investigate further, Kushina quickly tightened the seal, cutting off the chakra flow. Kurama was left staring dumbfounded.

"RAAGH! You little brat! I'll eat you! I'll rip you to shreds!" Kurama roared in frustration. Kushina was definitely messing with him on purpose, and it drove him mad.

On the other side of things, Takuya, who had been keeping the ANBU agents distracted, decided he had done enough. Tossing the drinks aside, he muttered, "Ungrateful, huh? I try to be nice, and this is the thanks I get."

The ANBU agents exchanged bewildered glances. They were utterly lost.

"What the hell just happened?"

"I have no idea. But I'll tell you this-part of me wants to beat that kid senseless."

"Go ahead. Weren't you the one calling him 'sir' just a moment ago?"

"Should we report this to the Hokage?"

"If you're fine with embarrassing yourself, be my guest. I'm staying out of it."

Deciding it wasn't worth the trouble, the two ANBU operatives agreed to act like nothing had happened. After all, getting berated by a ten-year-old was humiliating enough. The last thing they needed was the Hokage finding out.

As Takuya returned home, Snowy leapt into his arms. Stroking the soft fur, Takuya turned to Kushina.

"Alright, now's your chance. Head back into the seal. Kurama's bound to be freaking out by now."

A mischievous grin spread across Kushina's face. She had been annoyed by Kurama's refusal earlier, but knowing that the fox was likely stewing in frustration made it all worth it.

"Let's see how you like it, you big dumb fox," she thought to herself, excited about the next step in their plan.

As Kushina re-entered the seal, she found Kurama throwing one of his usual tantrums.

"Fine," he muttered. "But in return, you have to find out what that chakra was."

Kushina's smile widened. "Deal. And don't try to back out-you know I won't let you off the hook if you do."

Kurama scoffed. "Unlike you humans, I'm not a liar. I'm Kurama, the Nine-Tails! I don't go back on my word."

"So, where did that chakra come from?" Kurama demanded, eager for answers.

"It's Takuya's summon," Kushina said matter-of-factly.

Kurama blinked. "A summon? You're joking, right?"

"There's nothing funny about it. Takuya's summon is a fox just like you, only it's white, way smaller, and has nine little fluffy tails. It even smells great," Kushina explained, a playful

smirk tugging at her lips. "It's way cuter than you, too."

Kurama's eyes widened in shock. A summoning creature... with chakra like his?

No way. Could it be?

Memories of his past came rushing back-the day Uchiha Madara had come and used the Sharingan to control him, forcing him into a summoning contract. That day had been one of

Kurama's greatest humiliations.

Could Takuya's summon be in a similar situation?

"What... what kind of fox is it?" Kurama asked cautiously.

Kushina didn't hesitate. "Like I said, it's a white fox with nine tails and better looking than

you. Takuya calls it Snowy."
