After entering the room, Shisui took out a scroll.
It was the key to releasing the seal on Naruto's body, created by Minato Namikaze and stored at Mount Myōboku after his death.
As for why it was in Shisui's hands, Tomoki had naturally given it to him.
When Tomoki became Hokage, the first time Jiraiya visited, Tomoki asked him to leave the key in Konoha.
Seal Space.
Naruto and Shisui stood before a giant gate, behind which, naturally, the Nine-Tailed waited, having been there for a long time.
This kind of operation, in fact, could be done by both Naruto and Shisui in Konoha on a daily basis.
The reason they had to come to Turtle Island was the effect this colorful space possessed.
Tomoki didn't know the specific reason; everything still depended on Orochimaru's progress.
This strange room on Turtle Island had only one effect: the Tailed Beast Chakra plundered here could be truly plundered.
As long as Naruto and Shisui could seize more than half of the Nine-Tailed's Chakra, thereby suppressing the Nine-Tailed, then they could use this Chakra again in the future without the Nine-Tailed's permission.
If this operation were performed in Konoha, the plundered Chakra would be one-time use.
It wasn't that no one had done this historically; both Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina used the Nine-Tailed Chakra this way.
When they needed the Nine-Tailed's power, they would go to the Seal Space to plunder a wave, using as much as they got, unable to store any excess, and would have to plunder again for future use.
Not just Konoha, most other Jinchuriki were in similar situations, the only difference being that some had better relationships with their Tailed Beasts.
For example, the former Three-Tails Jinchuriki Yagura didn't need to plunder; he just directly asked the Three-Tails Isobu.
But even if Isobu gave it willingly, and had no malice towards Yagura, the inherent corrosive nature of the Tailed Beast Chakra still required Yagura to suppress it himself.
The characteristics of Turtle Island can be summarized simply, into two points.
First, once obtained, it can be permanently possessed until death; if other methods are like getting a salary, here it's like getting shares.
Second, it eliminates the corrosive nature of the Tailed Beast Chakra, making it clean and safe, not only for personal use but also for others.
Shisui and Naruto, whose consciousnesses had entered the Seal Space, did not notice that shortly after they entered, the already colorful and vibrant training space suddenly burst with light, completely becoming a sea of light, then slowly dimmed and returned to its original state.
"Nine-Tailed, I'm letting you out now, will you let me use your Chakra in the future?"
Naruto, having frequently visited the Seal Space over the years, knew that the next step involved defeating the Nine-Tailed and plundering its Chakra.
Possessing an extraordinary sense of empathy, Naruto felt that this would surely make the Nine-Tailed unhappy, so he decided to try to use their relationship to get the Nine-Tailed to cooperate willingly.
After Naruto finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
The Nine-Tailed stared intently at Naruto, not because it was swayed by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, but because the Nine-Tailed noticed that Naruto seemed to have undergone some change just now.
As the boy and the fox stared at each other, Naruto thought the Nine-Tailed was seriously considering his proposal, and the anticipation and joy in his eyes became increasingly obvious.
The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto's naive, almost foolish appearance, and mentally categorized its previous feeling as an illusion.
What kind of change could this silly boy have? Become even sillier?
"Brat, aren't you being too fanciful? Do you think you can control this old man? Letting you sponge off some Chakra occasionally is this old man's reward for your good sense!"
After realizing that it was just a momentary lapse in judgment, the Nine-Tailed looked down at Naruto and said.
"That tiny bit of Chakra was just this old man's accidental leakage, like the waste you humans excrete. And this old man bestowing that waste upon you is not capital for you to push your luck, understand?"
This wasn't the first time the Nine-Tailed had said such words, but before, only Naruto had heard them. Now, with his idol beside him, the Nine-Tailed's words made Naruto feel like he was dying of embarrassment.
Naruto, who had originally felt sorry for the Nine-Tailed being confined there and felt a little guilty about bringing someone else to take its things, now had no guilt whatsoever after the Nine-Tailed said those words in front of Shisui.
At just over ten years old, it was the beginning of his rebellious phase, and also a time when he cared greatly about his reputation.
With the Nine-Tailed speaking to him like that, Naruto planned to severely pluck the Nine-Tailed bald and ignore it for the next month—no, a month was too long, a week!
Naruto turned away from the Nine-Tailed and said to Shisui.
"Shisui-bro, let's start, I'm ready!"
Shisui nodded, handing the key to Naruto, who then lifted his clothes, pressed the key onto the seal on his belly, and twisted it hard.
As Naruto acted, the talismans on the giant gate, symbolizing the seal, peeled off little by little, then vanished.
"Clang!"
The Nine-Tailed pushed the door open without any hesitation.
"Brat, the seal is broken! You don't actually think that Uchiha Ninja next to you can protect you, do you? Let me tell you, he's not good enough!"
