The Return of Kurama: A Forbidden Experiment
In a remote corner of Konoha's hidden forest, Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage, stood against Orochimaru and Kabuto, two of the most infamous shinobi in the village's history. Despite his dark past, Naruto had turned to them with a desperate plea: to bring back Kurama, who had sacrificed his life to save the world.
—Are you completely sure about this, Naruto-kun? — Orochimaru asked, with an enigmatic smile as he gently caressed his jaw. —This is not a simple experiment. We're talking about disturbing the balance between life and death.
Naruto, with a serious and determined face, nodded.
—Kurama wasn't just a beast with a tail. He was my friend. Your absence has left a void that I cannot fill. If there's a way to bring it back, even for a moment, I'll have to try.
Kabuto, fitting his glasses with precision, intervened.
—The Edo Tensei is a forbidden technique, but its use for a being like Kurama is... completely unexplored. We don't even know if a being like him can be summoned like this. We need something that contains its essence.
Naruto pulled out an old, carefully sealed scroll that he had received from Princess Shion from the Demon Land. This contained a small portion of the Kurama chakra that had been sealed centuries ago during one of its ancient incarnations.
—This should be enough, right? —said Naruto, spreading the scroll.
Orochimaru took it carefully, his eyes sparkling with a mixture of curiosity and greed.
—With this, it might work. But get ready, Naruto-kun. Whatever returns may not be exactly the Kurama you remember.
For days, Orochimaru and Kabuto worked tirelessly in their underground laboratory. The Edo Tensei seals were modified to accommodate a being that was neither human nor entirely spiritual. A receptacle body was created using special materials capable of containing the immense chakra of a tailed beast.
Finally the day has arrived. In the center of the laboratory, an altar covered in seals and runes glowed with an ominous energy. Orochimaru began performing manual stamps, while Kabuto recited a series of spells.
The scroll with the Kurama chakra was placed on the altar, and the receptacle body began to vibrate. A red and gold aura emerged from the scroll, slowly taking shape. The roar of a creature echoed throughout the laboratory, shaking the walls.
Suddenly, a colossal figure began to materialize. It was Kurama, but his form was incomplete, fragmented. Her eyes glowed with a mixture of rage and confusion as she watched her surroundings.
