Naruto: Revealing the Nine-Tails as the Culprit Behind the Seventh Hokage's 'Dangerous' Illness

As we know, in the recent novel Sasuke Retsudan, it is mentioned that Naruto has a serious and life-threatening disease. And the main known cause is caused by Kurama.

Kurama, commonly known as the Nine-Tails , is one of the tailed beasts separated from the Ten-Tails. However, unlike other Tailed Beasts, after decades of being mistreated and exploited by humans, Kurama hates humans to the core, even saying that he is the living embodiment of hatred.

After being unwillingly sealed into Naruto Uzumaki’s body , Kurama continued to have a negative view of humanity. It always opposes and finds ways to take advantage of Naruto’s dependence on his strength to be able to break the seal.

But over time Kurama ‘s thinking also changed due to Naruto ‘s patience and kindness . It also gradually came to respect Naruto and said that he was different from the people it had met before. So after many incidents, Kurama agreed to let Naruto use his power to save the world.

And so far, the relationship between Naruto and Kurama has become more and more connected and trusting each other. Naruto even allowed the Nine-Tails to switch his body without worrying about his own safety and could switch back quickly. However, no one would have expected that this relationship was slowly killing Naruto .

As we know, the latest Naruto spinoff novel focusing on Sasuke revealed a heartbreaking detail about the seventh Hokage’s life-threatening illness. As detailed in Sasuke Retsuden : The Uchiha Descendants and the Heavenly Stardust, both Naruto and Kurama suffer from an illness that could almost end their lives. So what is this disease?
