Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

The Nine-Tails' sinister and immense chakra began to spill out uncontrollably, its intensity increasing rapidly.

In mere moments, Kushina's body was engulfed in a layer of the Nine-Tails' chakra. Her hair deepened to an even darker shade of red, and her once-round pupils morphed into eerie vertical slits.

Minato, who had been cooking in the kitchen, rushed out immediately. Seeing Kushina on the verge of losing control, his face was filled with urgency.

"It must be because Kushina is close to giving birth. The Nine-Tails is trying to break free from the seal."

"We need to reinforce the seal on her body right away," Minato said, preparing to use a sealing jutsu on Kushina.

As her due date approached, Kushina's body had grown increasingly frail. Any misstep could lead to disaster—for both mother and child.

Seeing Minato's slightly panicked demeanor, Uchiha Mirai raised a hand to stop him.

"Minato, leave it to me."

"I have something to discuss with the Nine-Tails anyway."

Minato hesitated for a moment, only now noticing that Mirai's eyes had turned into the crimson Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even so, he couldn't help but voice his concern.

"Mirai, are you sure about this? The Nine-Tails is the most powerful Tailed Beast in the shinobi world. A single mistake could be fatal."

Mirai chuckled lightly and patted Minato on the shoulder.

"Relax. It won't kill me."

With that, Mirai focused his thoughts, and his consciousness entered the spiritual realm within Kushina.

Inside Kushina's spiritual space, the scene was chaotic. She was being overwhelmed by the Nine-Tails' immense chakra. Without hesitation, Mirai stepped forward and grabbed the giant fox's nose with one hand.

With a light squeeze, the Nine-Tails dissolved into countless fragments of chakra, scattering like foam.

"Damn brat! How dare you ruin my plans!" the Nine-Tails roared in anger, though a hint of apprehension flickered in its gaze as it stared at Mirai.

Those eyes reminded it of an unpleasant memory.

Standing before the massive beast, Mirai's expression was cold. He spoke in a calm, commanding tone.

"Nine-Tails, quiet down."

The tone—it was identical!

The Nine-Tails slammed a claw against the iron bars of its cage, growing even more agitated. The brat before it was eerily similar to Madara Uchiha. Aside from being slightly more polite than Madara, everything else—those Mangekyō Sharingan, the disregard for its strength, the commanding tone—was exactly the same!

"Stop treating me like a pet, damn it!"

"Listen…" Mirai's Mangekyō Sharingan flared, his gaze exuding an overwhelming pressure. "Be quiet."

Under the immense power of his eyes, the Nine-Tails froze, losing all control over its body.

"Here's the deal," Mirai said coolly. "If you stop causing trouble, I'll grant you a measure of freedom."

"You should already know that against these eyes, you can't do anything."

The Nine-Tails growled, its pride wounded. But it couldn't deny the truth. Just moments ago, a single look from Mirai had stripped it of control over its own body. Against the Mangekyō Sharingan, even a Tailed Beast was little more than a strong toy.

"What kind of freedom are you talking about?" the Nine-Tails asked, its voice low and begrudging.

Mirai smiled faintly. "Sanbi, why don't you explain?"

As Mirai spoke, a miniature Three-Tails appeared on his shoulder. Wasting no time, Sanbi approached the Nine-Tails.

"Kurama, let's fist-bump."

This unique gesture allowed Tailed Beasts to share memories instantly. Reluctantly, Kurama extended a massive paw, brushing it against Sanbi's.

The next moment, a flood of memories surged into its mind.

"Sleeping whenever I feel like it, sunbathing through my clones, enjoying barbecues, mountain breezes, and ocean swims…"

"And those pesky shinobi? They bow and respectfully call me 'Isobu-sama' when they see me!"

Kurama's eyes widened in shock as it absorbed Sanbi's memories.

This… this…

This wasn't the life of a sealed Tailed Beast! It was living better than it ever had in the wild!

Free to roam without the constant annoyance of shinobi attacks…

For the first time, Kurama felt genuine envy.

"Kurama," Sanbi said gently, "the era of hostility between humans and Tailed Beasts is over."

"As long as we don't provoke them, they won't bother us."

"If you're willing to compromise a little, you can live like me."

Kurama fell silent, reflecting on Sanbi's words. The memories also revealed Mirai's true intentions: to collect all nine Tailed Beasts and revive the Ten-Tails. Unlike others, however, Mirai offered a rare opportunity—those who cooperated would retain their consciousness during the process.

But why? Kurama couldn't fathom why a human would show kindness to the Tailed Beasts.

After a moment, it asked cautiously, "Can we really trust you?"

Mirai's gaze didn't waver. "You don't have a choice. I have no reason to deceive you."

"This is my decision, made on a whim. You should feel fortunate, not suspicious."

Kurama lowered its head, quiet at last.

"Good." Mirai smiled faintly. "I'll discuss this with Kushina soon. You'll be able to live like Sanbi."

"But remember—this is your one chance. Don't make me regret it."

With that, Mirai's consciousness returned to reality.

As Mirai opened his eyes, Minato was staring at him in astonishment.

"Mirai, how did you do it? The Nine-Tails actually calmed down!"

Minato's excitement was palpable. Mirai gestured toward his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"This is why Hiruzen and the others don't want the Uchiha Clan near Kushina."

Minato sighed with envy. "What an incredible power. If only I had such strength…"

Mirai chuckled softly. Even someone like Minato could feel jealous, it seemed.

Turning to Kushina, who had regained consciousness, Mirai's tone grew serious.

"Kushina, from today onward, you need to reevaluate your relationship with the Nine-Tails."
