Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Chakra possesses the power to connect hearts.

Regardless of external conditions, by connecting heart to heart, we can perfectly integrate our strengths and create an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

And it is far greater than two.

outside world.

Sakura was still saying something when suddenly, her vision was filled with golden light.

Naruto turned into a little golden man.

His entire body was covered in golden chakra, with magatama patterns appearing on his chest and arms, and a Bagua seal pattern on his abdomen.

A fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto returned to normal.

"What was that just now?" Sakura asked, puzzled.

“Its power,” Naruto said, pointing to his stomach.

Sealed space.

"Is this what you mean by 'not much improvement'?" Naruto's consciousness sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

The chakra changed from crimson to golden.

The tail disappeared.

Within a certain range, its speed can match that of the Fourth Raikage, making it second only to Kurama Mode. Its power is beyond question.

If combined with Sage Chakra, the combined power can reach another level.

From now on, when Naruto uses the Nine-Tails' chakra, it will still be crimson when the amount is small, but once the amount reaches a certain range, it will appear as a golden light.

In the story, Naruto acquired this mode after experiencing a series of events, including the real waterfall, fighting the Nine-Tails, and a tug-of-war.

at the moment…

He skipped several steps and gained the Nine-Tails' approval by exchanging punches with it, thus directly possessing it.

Knowing how wonderful the Nine Lamas is, how much you love him, and opening your heart to connect with him—that's the benefit of knowing the plot; it's like having foresight.

“Kurama.” Naruto.

"Hmm?" Nine Lama lay prone, not even lifting his eyelids, and spoke through his nose.

“Kurama.” Naruto.

"What are you doing?" Nine Lama opened one eye.

"I'm very happy," Naruto said with a bright smile.

Nine Lama was taken aback.

I intended to give a habitual, cold laugh, and then, as someone who's been there and experienced a lot, casually say a few words.

Thinking back to the successful fistfight just now, their hearts were closely connected, and they felt it very clearly.

Naruto truly accepted it, liked it, and loved it from the bottom of his heart. It seemed he no longer needed to hide himself, no longer needed to…

Many ideas were subsequently abandoned.

Kurama chuckled and shook its head, its eyes filled with an unprecedented gentleness and peace as it looked directly at Naruto, who was much younger than it: "I am also very happy."

Not long after, Sasuke arrived with all the supplies, and the three of them left the village together, heading to the destination Kakashi had set.

My personal involvement in this mission is to open up a new source of funding from Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

Unexpectedly, I was able to obtain his real name and exchange fists with the arrogant Nine-Tailed Fox ahead of time, truly becoming one with him and sharing a deep connection.

Even if he couldn't successfully find a source of funding, Naruto was still satisfied with this one gain.

Sasuke, who had no interest in movies and was focused solely on his training to become stronger, glanced strangely at Naruto, who was standing upside down on the ceiling next to him, exercising like him.

What did you find that makes you so happy?

"Wait! We need to exercise!"

Shadow clones don't require physical training; if you need to train, it's chakra control, nature transformation, or ninjutsu.

Since this Naruto is exercising, it means that this is not a shadow clone, but Naruto's real body.

“Naruto, I can now fight Kakashi back and forth even without the Sharingan,” Sasuke said.

"Dare you fight me without using that form from the Forest of Death?"

Chapter 113 The Illusory Image of the Jade Seeking the Dao, the Illusory Image of the Thousand-Handed Buddha

"What did you say?" Naruto was stunned.

Sasuke repeated it.

"Now?" Naruto.

"You don't seem to care much about this movie either; it doesn't matter whether you watch it or not," Sasuke said.

"If there are any clues in the movie that are related to the mission, Sakura will not miss them with her here."

"Right now."

"Alright then." After greeting Sakura, Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, formed a hand seal, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leap into the air to the back of Konoha Mountain.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique?" Sasuke thought to himself.

I glanced at my shoulder and didn't see any markings. Then I looked around and noted down all the locations where there were markings.

He took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and held it in his teeth.

Then he took out several shuriken, each connected by a thin, barely perceptible steel wire.

His eyes turned bloodshot in an instant, reflecting two tomoe.

“I’m ready, we can start anytime. To be fair, you announce it,” Sasuke said.

The Sharingan still had two tomoe, but its aura had increased significantly. After observing it, Naruto formed hand seals and activated a genjutsu that deceived himself and made him forget the sense of danger.

"I'm ready too, so, three, two, one."

"start."

Approximately fourteen minutes later.

Sasuke collapsed to the ground, a bitter laugh tinged with resentment, and said, "Hehehe, what was I doing?"

What exactly is missing?

They had already worked so hard, neglecting sleep and meals to cultivate, seeking out people to spar with, fight, and hone their combat skills.

Not only did he fail to defeat Naruto, but the gap between them seems to have widened even further?

hateful!

At this moment, the resentment of never being able to surpass Naruto and losing to Naruto outweighed the hatred for Itachi and the obsession with revenge.

This mentality perfectly reflects Indra's resentment at losing to the Asuras.

I can lose to anyone, but I absolutely cannot lose to Asura.

It lies dormant in the deepest part of Sasuke.

It is impossible to determine whether it is the body or the soul; it has lost its subjective consciousness and only possesses the Indra chakra, which is the will to contend with the Asuras.

It stirred up waves.

Pfft!

Sasuke suddenly felt a surge of power within him, rising straight to his eyes.

The Sharingan, which could no longer be maintained due to chakra depletion, appeared automatically and, in the instant it appeared, evolved from two tomoe to three tomoe.

It didn't end there. The three magatama spun rapidly, eventually connecting into one, transforming into a pattern resembling a six-bladed shuriken.

"!?" Naruto.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked, bewildered.

A faint, purple, semi-transparent skeleton phantom surrounded Sasuke, protecting him within it. The skull's head faced Naruto, emitting a silent roar.

Unlike Sasuke, he can still sense and detect Indra's chakra.

Naruto activated Ashura's chakra by signing in with Hamura's chakra. Although he couldn't control or mobilize it, he could definitely sense it.

Just then, Naruto keenly sensed that the Ashura chakra that was slowly nourishing his body suddenly trembled.

This seems to be a response to Indra.

Behind him, nine phantom images of Seeking the Dao Jade appeared, along with a small phantom image of a thousand-armed Buddha, which materialized and stared at the skull without sorrow or joy.

The phantom existed for about five seconds before disappearing.

Sasuke stood up again, looked at his hands, and clenched his fist: "I don't know what happened, but I feel great right now."

"The Sharingan's power has never been so abundant before. Has it advanced? Its chakra has also been replenished."

"The battle continues."

Naruto, who was observing the Ashura chakra within his body, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked Kurama for some natural energy and entered Sage Mode: "Come on."

The fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, ending with Sasuke collapsing from exhaustion.

"..." Sasuke.

"Aren't you tired? You're not even out of breath, not even sweating..." Sasuke said weakly.

"That's how Sage Chakra works; the more you fight, the more energetic you become," Naruto said.

“Sage Chakra… what is that?” Sasuke asked.

“A type of chakra refined using natural energy,” Naruto explained.

Faced with Naruto's outstretched hand, Sasuke hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to grasp it and using Naruto's strength to stand up.

After Naruto explained what Sage Chakra was and where he could learn it, Sasuke left on his own.
