Story transcript
Unohana: (That child's spiritual pressure is unstable... yet his movements are calculated.)
Naruto: These masked freaks... they're not like any ninja I've fought before.
Naruto: (Whatever this energy is... it's mixing with my chakra!)
Unohana: He wields condensed spiritual energy as if it were child's play...
Naruto: (The scratches are closing... but I didn't do any healing jutsu!)
Unohana: Young one... would you like to learn what your power truly is?
Naruto: Who are you? And what are these things I've been fighting?
Unohana: (A human child with such potential... this could change everything.)
Naruto: Why'd you bring me in here? This place reeks of those masked things.
Unohana: Those creatures you fought are called Hollows. And you... are not from this world.
Naruto: (She knows? How could she possibly know I'm not from here?)
Unohana: The energy you use... it's similar to our reishi, yet different. Show me that sphere technique again.
Naruto: (She's not lying... I can feel her power. Way stronger than those masked things.)
Unohana: Fascinating. Your energy is converting spiritual particles into physical force. You're doing this unconsciously?
Naruto: (The wound from before... it's not just healing. It's... purifying?)
Unohana: Young one... that healing light you're emitting. It's the same as a Quincy's purification. You're more dangerous than you realize.
Naruto: What are you talking about? I don't even know what a Quincy is!
Unohana: (A human child who purifies Hollows with his presence alone... and he doesn't even know it. This changes everything.)
Unohana: Be still. Your body is trying to tell us both a story.
Naruto: (I can't move... but it doesn't hurt. What is she doing to me?)
Unohana: Your spiritual signature... it's rewriting itself. Not human. Not shinigami. Something new.
Naruto: (The Nine-Tails... it's responding to her power. But I didn't call it!)
Unohana: This energy... it has a will of its own. It's protecting you from my healing.
Naruto: Get... out of my head! I don't need your pity healing!
Unohana: (So the beast within recognizes death's touch. This child carries a monster... and doesn't even know its true nature.)
Naruto: What... what just happened to me? That wasn't my chakra...
Unohana: Young one... the thing inside you just introduced itself. Shall we discuss what it wants?
Unohana: Just a touch, child. Let me see what your body hides.
Naruto: (Her fingers are glowing... what is she going to do to me?)
Unohana: (Such dense spiritual energy... concentrated in one point.)
Naruto: (No... it's coming out on its own!)
Naruto: Stop! I didn't call it out!
Unohana: (The Nine-Tails... it fears my spiritual pressure. How fascinating.)
Naruto: That voice... it said you're trying to seal it...
Unohana: Not seal, child. Understand. Your beast and I have much to discuss about your future.
Naruto: (She's too calm... like she's planned this all along. But what does she want with the Nine-Tails?)
