Chapter 155 Minato Namikaze: Hello, Naruto!
"What?! What are you going to do?"

Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise, his small eyes fixed on Naruto, as if afraid he had misheard.

Tsunade frowned slightly, staring at Naruto with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

As for Jingyin, her bewildered expression was truly somewhat comical.

Nine-tailed Fox?

Is it the Nine-Tails she knows?

She had been lost in thought when she suddenly realized what was happening.

Naruto, could he be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Thinking of what Naruto had just said, her pupils dilated instantly!
If she releases the Nine-Tails in a place like this, can she still survive?
At this moment, the team of four was walking in a vast wilderness.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, the entire area is covered by green forests. In the distance, there are several majestic mountain peaks with white summits. Several streams flow down from these peaks and extend into the nearby river.

Naruto's own perception
There are no villages or towns within dozens of kilometers around, and there are only a handful of people.

This is precisely why Naruto chose this location.

This place is the perfect crime scene. No, it's the perfect spot to open a box.

Therefore, he prepared to break the seal.

After I told Jiraiya about this idea, he had the same reaction I just saw.

"Of course, it's to break the seal on the Nine-Tails."

Naruto's expression was exceptionally calm, his blue eyes completely serene.

This confidence comes from absolute strength.

Break the seal?

This time, Jiraiya was certain he hadn't misheard.

He looked closely at Naruto, and in Naruto's eyes, Jiraiya saw only composure.

It doesn't seem like a joke.

Jiraiya gradually calmed down.

Unseal the Nine-Tails?
In fact, Jiraiya had had this idea for a long time.

It wasn't just about breaking the seal, but about teaching Naruto so that he could gradually master the Nine-Tails' power.

Jiraiya's purpose in returning to the village this time was precisely this.

To everyone's surprise, they were completely stunned by Naruto's talent the moment they met him.

Later, Naruto's performance repeatedly shocked them to the point of questioning their own existence.

Jiraiya had long since forgotten the idea of ​​controlling the Nine-Tails.

With Naruto's strength.

Whether it's Nine-Tails or not, it doesn't really matter!
Moreover, learning to control the Nine-Tails carries unexpected risks—it could lead to the Jinchūriki going berserk.

That's damage that goes straight to the soul; no matter how strong your personal strength is, it's useless.

It might even have the opposite effect.

Their immense power makes the rampaging Nine-Tails Jinchuriki even more difficult to tame.

Therefore, Jiraiya did not insist any further.

But now, Naruto has actually brought it up himself.

For a moment, Jiraiya was conflicted!
Naruto naturally noticed Jiraiya's dilemma.

"What's wrong, Master Sage? I specially chose this spot, isn't it good enough?"

Immortal Teacher?

Jiraiya glanced at Naruto speechlessly; he had figured out Naruto's true nature.

If you need something from him, call him "Immortal Teacher".

When I'm in a good mood, I call out to Jiraiya-sensei.

At other times, he's simply called the Lustful Immortal.

This kid.
However, breaking the seal? That's not impossible.

Even without me and Tsunade present, this kid must have made some preparations for doing this.

Moreover, there's the key to the water gate as a final safety net.

"Naruto, are you really ready?" Jiraiya asked again to be on the safe side.

"Of course, there won't be any surprises!"

Naruto was extremely affirmative.

His strength speaks for itself.

The Nine Lamas sealed inside had already surrendered and were now worse than dogs.

Ahem, we absolutely cannot let the Nine-Tailed Fox hear this, or it will jump up in anger.

In short, there was no surprise that the seal was broken.

There was only one unknown possibility, which is why two of the three legendary ninjas were chosen as protectors.

otherwise,

He broke the seal long ago in the Land of Grass or the Land of Hot Water, why wait until now?

"Well!"

Jiraiya had just agreed when Tsunade interrupted him.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

Tsk. I forgot about this person.

Naruto immediately looked at Jiraiya.

(Eye signal) This is your teammate; go and persuade her.

As it turned out, Jiraiya did indeed have some persuasive skills, and Tsunade was convinced.

Seeing that the two were ready, Naruto lifted his shirt to reveal his eight-pack abs.

On his belly, under the pressure of Naruto's chakra, a clear seal gradually appeared.

Upon seeing this seal, two of the three Sannin looked extremely solemn.

As for silence, it was already switched off.

Naruto also looked at the strange runes.

In fact, with his current strength, he naturally has the ability to force the seal to disappear instantly.

However, the purpose this time was not just the sealing technique, but to see the two chakras that accompanied the seal—that is, his biological parents.

"Naruto, wait a moment, I'll summon the key over."

Just as Naruto was about to take the next step, Jiraiya reminded him, "Minato left the key to unlock the Eight Trigrams Seal with the toads on Mount Myōboku."

"There's no need, Jiraiya-sensei."

Naruto looked up at Jiraiya, his gaze shifting from Jiraiya's stomach, and gave him a bright smile.

"I also know a little bit about sealing techniques."

A little bit?

What's the use of just a little bit?

Looking at the confident Naruto, Jiraiya wanted to remind him: the Eight Trigrams Seal is not as simple as other sealing techniques, but an upgraded version of the Uzumaki clan's profound sealing technique—the Four Symbols Seal.

This sealing technique is very difficult to master without long-term study and practice.

But before he could finish speaking, Naruto had already closed his eyes.

Within the sealed space.

It was still that dark, cramped space, with wet puddles on the floor, and the massive body of the Nine-Tailed Fox was quietly nestled behind the cage.

It doesn't play games in the training space; instead, it waits here early on.

Kurama only opened its eyes when it saw Naruto arrive, its huge golden vertical pupils staring intently at Naruto.

"Are you ready, Little Tanuki!"

The seal was immediately broken, and Kurama, who was almost unable to hold back his laughter, immediately fell silent upon hearing this title.

"Naruto, could you please stop calling me 'Little Fox'?"

Even through the railing, Naruto could see the pleading in Kurama's eyes.

Even the Nine Lamas has its pride.

Moreover, you'll still have to meet people outside in the future.

When the time comes, this powerful and imposing Nine-Tails, which finally managed to show off in front of outsiders, will be called "Little Tanuki" by Naruto in front of everyone.
That would be a laughing stock!

How can Kurama possibly have the face to meet the other tailed beasts?

"OK,"

Since Kurama said so, Naruto decided to compromise and said, "Then I'll call you Big Tanuki."

?

When Naruto agreed, the fox-like smile that was about to burst forth with joy abruptly stopped, and his expression froze on his face.

Even its large ears drooped down, making it look somewhat dejected.

That look is just like the last time I played a multiplayer online battle with Naruto and lost a thousand games in a row. Big Tanuki?

The Nine-Tailed Fox silently repeated the name in its mind.

With the character "大" (big) in it, it seems like it would work?

Looking at his good friend of nearly ten years, Naruto smiled sincerely and said, "Don't worry, Big Tanuki, I will keep all the promises I made to you before, including purifying all the hatred on you."

"I always keep my word! That's my ninja way!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Lamas nodded slightly.

Although there was some concern about whether Naruto had the ability to eliminate the thousand-year-old grudge that had accumulated on him.

But with this guy's unpredictable talent, it's best to trust him.

Kurama even suspected that Naruto might be stronger than Hagoromo Otsutsuki now, but he had no evidence.

"Come on! Let me feel your strength!"

Naruto closed his eyes, preparing to receive Kurama's chakra attack.

And outside.

After Naruto finished speaking, he closed his eyes. Before the three of them could prepare, the next second...
hum-

Suddenly, an indescribably powerful chakra erupted!
A reddish-orange chakra cloak completely enveloped Naruto!

The malice contained in this chakra caused the two people who were relatively close to feel a chill run from their heels straight to the top of their heads.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

Is this the Nine-Tails? It really is different from the other tailed beasts I've seen!
One-tailed, two-tailed, four-tailed. In an instant, six tails appeared behind Naruto.

Completely unprepared!

"Oh no!" Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise.

Did Naruto fail?

Jiraiya thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He's not ready to fight the Nine-Tails yet, he's not even in Sage Mode!

What to do?
"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya shouted and was about to make a move when he saw Naruto open his eyes.

"Jiraiya-sensei, don't worry! I haven't failed yet!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, his tails suddenly multiplied to seven!

Now, Naruto wasn't in a hurry, but Jiraiya was even more anxious!

Too fast! Too fast! They didn't have any time to react at all.

"Nalutto! Wait a minute!" Jiraiya called out urgently.

Naruto stopped his plan to take another step forward.

At this moment, due to the chakra cloak, the original Naruto had already disappeared, and the two could only see a deep red humanoid creature surging with terrifying chakra.

"what happened?"

Because of the chakra cloak, even Naruto's voice had a partial echo.

Seemingly relieved to find that Naruto hadn't been affected at all, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. "You brat, you're too fast! Wait a minute, this old man will have to wait!"

"Wait a moment, let me, the immortal, gather my strength!"

Jiraiya clasped his hands together in front of his chest. "I was planning to teach you this move when we got back. It's called Sage Mode! Now, I'll show it to you."

He held this position for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, half a minute, one minute, two minutes.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya finally entered Sage Mode.

Naruto was shocked. Was Jiraiya joking?

Does it really take this long to enter this Sage Mode?
Isn't that kind of thing something you can just clap your hands together and it'll go in?

"I'm ready, let's continue!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, then quietly turned his back to her.

He looks really bad, and it's inconvenient for him to be seen in public.

If it weren't for his beloved disciple doing this, he would never have entered Sage Mode.

As for the two toad sages, there's no need to summon them for now.

Naruto chose to continue.

He had already determined that the malice carried within Kurama's chakra seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

I don't know if it's because he's too strong, or...
Naruto felt that it must be his unbreakable will of steel that had worked!
Suddenly,
The next second, Eight-Tails!

Naruto sensed the state of the sealed space.

Completely unimpeded, with perfectly clear reason.

There's nothing to worry about.

Next step.
Naruto looked up at the seal.

His body leaped into the air, reaching out to remove the seal.
pat-

A figure and an arm suddenly appeared, grabbing Naruto's outstretched arm, preparing to throw him away, however.
But Naruto, who was stronger and faster, grabbed his arm and threw him away!
puff--

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and adjusted his posture in time, only sliding while half-kneeling, so he didn't look too disheveled.

However, Naruto was quite strong, and even Minato was out of control, sliding a distance on the ground before finally stopping.

However, Minato Namikaze was truly bewildered at this moment.

Is this right?

That strength, that fighting skill.
Is it still Naruto?
Minato stood up and stared blankly at the figure.

With golden hair and beautiful blue eyes, he didn't seem very old, judging from his height.

Yes, this should be his son.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be here.

However, the child's strength left him quite puzzled.

Moreover, this should be the Eight-Tails' state at this time, so why does this child still look so lucid?

While Minato was sizing up Naruto, Naruto was also looking at Minato.

This is the same as what we saw in the demonstration video, the dueling arena, etc.

Is this his identity, his own biological father?
Naruto was at a loss for how to react.

To say that he had any feelings for his biological father whom he had never met is utter nonsense.

How can one develop feelings for a father one has never met?
Besides, Naruto himself wasn't a child starting from scratch!
In another world, he also has parents. You suddenly ask him to recognize another person, not much older than him, as his father?

It's somewhat hard to accept.

Not to mention, Naruto has held this person in grudge since childhood.

Return the father?
Naruto wanted to punch him right then and there!
But I'll let it go with one punch; he's still my father, after all.

The dueling arena is full of AI. I don't know how real people are. At least let's see what the real people are like first.
Naruto was incredibly curious.

“I have set up the sealing technique. Once the seal on the Eight-Tails is also released, I will appear in your consciousness.”

Seeing that Naruto was silent, Minato spoke up and explained in a gentle tone, "I didn't want to appear in this way, but I'm also looking forward to seeing my son when he grows up. It's a mixed feeling of joy and worry."

"Son? Who are you?"

Naruto looked puzzled and pretended not to recognize him.

Before the Fourth Hokage could answer, Kurama roared angrily in a low voice, "Fourth Hokage!!! Come here, let me beat you to a pulp!"

Just from the sound of it, Naruto knew that Kurama was really furious.

Even when he had been hitting Kurama hard on the head before, Kurama had never been this angry.

Before Minato could say anything, Naruto turned his head and glared at Kurama.

You rascal, put aside your deepest grudges for now, don't delay my observation of the other side.

Kurama, who had been so aggressive and eager to seek revenge on the Fourth Hokage, suddenly trembled at Naruto's gaze.

Like a puppy that had been hit with a stick, it turned around with a pitiful howl and scurried into a corner to lick its wounds.

Naruto turned around and grinned at Minato, a smile that was so relaxed and carefree.

“Let’s continue our conversation,” Naruto said.

Minato saw everything.

Is it a coincidence that Naruto turned back and went back with Kurama?

Given his understanding of the terrifying Nine-Tailed Fox, how could Kurama, who was so aggressive just now, swallow his anger?

At this point, countless questions suddenly arose in my mind.

Despite having many questions, Minato put them aside for the time being and answered Naruto's questions first.

"Naruto,"

Minato gazed at Naruto with kind eyes and calmness. "I already told you, you are my son, and I am your father."

I'm your father!
The words are not wrong, but they still feel like an insult!
Naruto smirked. "Really? I don't believe it!"
