As the title said, I need enlightenment, as for a few weeks, I am now troubled with a few things ninetails said.

When Naruto first consciously taps into the demon chakra, he proposes a deal, and the fox answers with something along the line of "You die, I die with you, huh?". In a recent chapter, when Sasuke invades Narutos brain and sees the demon, the demon warns Sasuke to not kill Naruto, or it will have terrible consequences for him. Errr, what?

Who is this demon fox to threaten Sasuke?
  • Possibility 1: if Naruto dies, the demon dies (You die, I die -> fact). Scary threat....."If you kill him, I'll die with hard feelings for you". Yeah right, like Sasuke will care.
  • Possibility 2: If Naruto dies, the demon is set free (You die, I die -> demon playing along narutos reasoning for unknown reasons). Erm, why should he threaten Sasuke to not set him free? I mean, that's about what he wanted to do for the last 250 chapters - escape from his prison.
  • Possibility 3: the demon actually likes Naruto (unknown reasons all over the place). This will only be nourishment for weird "Naruto is the son of the 4th hokage and the ninetails disguised as a beautiful woman" theories, so I'll leave it at that.


Anyone an idea? Or a link to a discussion about these lines, I couldn't find one.
