Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 257 Unsealing

The Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku once prophesied that someone would appear who would bring about change in the ninja world, and that person would be a disciple of Jiraiya.

At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths also left a prophecy for the Tailed Beasts.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy playing with a tailed beast.

But Naruto wasn't Jiraiya's student...

Speaking of which, Jiraiya once thought that he would be the savior, and considering the information given to Kurama by the Sage of Six Paths, there are some points that fit.

But as for the tailed beasts...

Minato glanced at the little Nine-Tails. Although his impression of the little thing had indeed changed since it followed Yun.

But playing around... how could that be possible?

After a moment's thought, Minato asked, "What are the specifics of Madara Uchiha's resurrection of the Ten-Tails? This time... Uzumaki Sora showed you the future?"

The Nine-Tails paused for a moment, scratched its head, and replied, "Judging from the information that suddenly appeared in my mind, that realistic illusion should really be a fragment of the future. Madara Uchiha has the same Rinnegan as the old man, and used those eyes to summon the Gedo Mazo."

"The Gedo Mazo is the shell of the Ten-Tails. Back then, the old man, as the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, created us and divided the Ten-Tails' chakra."

"If we want to revive the real Ten-Tails, we need to absorb the chakra of all nine tailed beasts back into the chakra."

As she spoke, the Nine-Tails plopped down on the coffee table: "Although it's a bit embarrassing, what we actually saw... Madara Uchiha only took a few seconds to defeat all nine tailed beasts, then put them in shackles and had them directly absorbed and sealed away."

"Such power... I'm afraid even Boss Yun now might not be able to withstand it."

Yun frowned slightly.

Limbo: Border Jail is indeed Madara's Rinnegan ability, but his own eyes are still stuck with the power of the Eternal Eye.

Is it inferior?

With the power of the secret scroll and the Eight Gates Formation, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

And... it's almost here.

"Hokage-sama, I think perhaps Shikaku could analyze it. While the second point about the prophecy is important, the most pressing issue right now is how to handle the first point."

Yun looked at Minato as he spoke: "As a member of Akatsuki, I was limited by the rules of the trading space and had to reveal the organization's headquarters, but I should be able to move there after leaving the space."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato nodded: "That's true. Let's go to the Hokage Building then, since this isn't the place to discuss business."

Kushina and Naruto, who were standing nearby, were both somewhat worried.

As the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina was now somewhat regretting sealing the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body.

We haven't seen a perfect Jinchuriki yet, but the enemy we need to be careful of when fighting the Nine-Tails is terrifyingly strong.

Madara Uchiha, how could someone like him be resurrected?

"Don't worry, I'll be back after I've taken care of things."

Kushina nodded, while Naruto, standing beside her, clenched his fist and said, "Go for it, Dad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato and Kumo were preparing to leave.

However, after a moment's hesitation, the little nine-tailed fox on the coffee table raised its paw and called out to the two of them.

"Brother Yun, and the Hokage too."

Minato turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Is there any information that hasn't been revealed yet?"

The Nine-Tails shook its head, but its gaze fell on Naruto's abdomen: "Although this guy has always been quite arrogant, I think I can probably release the seal now."

???

For a moment, both Minato and Kushina were stunned.

The next moment, Kushina immediately pulled Naruto behind her: "No! Naruto is still so young, he can't withstand the Nine-Tails' power! And...and..."

Kushina paused and didn't finish her sentence.

But the shrewd Nine-Tailed Fox could easily guess: "Because of the different experiences over the past few years, the personality of my other half is also different. But if you trust me, then the seal can indeed be broken."

For a moment, both Minato and Kushina frowned, considering the Nine-Tails' suggestion.

Although Naruto's life is not in danger due to the presence of the clouds.

But the Nine-Tails inside the seal wasn't stupid either. After breaking the seal, it pretended to acknowledge Naruto, and then, when it and Kumo were not around, it completely controlled Naruto.

This situation should not be ignored.

At this moment, Yun spoke up, "I remember the Hokage said that on the day Naruto was born, you made a deal with Uzumaki Sora, right?"

"And that day, Shisui and Captain Fugaku helped you, Hokage, stop... that person."

At this point, Yun glanced at Kushina, but ultimately did not reveal Obito's name: "At that time, the Nine-Tails, filled with hatred, was not released, and Konoha did not fall into crisis as a result."

"So all of this changed because of Uzumaki Sora in the beginning. So... without him, I wonder what the outcome would have been?"

Yun's words startled Minato.

In the previous intelligence summary, Jiraiya-sensei brought up that prophecy once again.

If it weren't for Uzumaki Sora, given Obito's abilities, and the fact that he was caught off guard and Kakashi didn't have the means to restrain him, the Nine-Tails would have been released in the end.

The Nine-Tails, being manipulated, will inevitably target Konoha.

Kushina... could only die because of the tailed beast being separated.

Perhaps I... will die too?

So, Naruto...

Yun looked at Minato and nodded: "Among Jiraiya's disciples, there will be those who bring about change to the ninja world, who will be known as saviors."

"Based on the physical characteristics left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto would be the most suitable candidate to be the savior if Ku Uzumaki were not around."

"Given such a fate, there's really no need to hesitate."

At this point, Yun looked at the little nine-tailed fox on the coffee table and reached out to stroke its head: "Besides... I trust this guy. Although he can be unreliable at times, he's always been my little brother."

These words touched Little Nine-Tailed Fox deeply, and it leaped onto Yun's shoulder.

"Waaaaah... Boss, if Madara Uchiha is resurrected, I'll be counting on you!"

Yun smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Yun's words had already made Minato somewhat waver, but Kushina, standing in front of Naruto, still maintained a firm gaze.

He said in a deep voice, "I don't care about any original fate. Now that Minato and I are both alive, it's not Naruto's turn to risk his life!"

Minato sighed, "After today, Naruto will be ten years old. In a few years, he will graduate from the Ninja Academy. And as a ninja, he will have to face that sooner or later."

"Those guys have been lying in wait, and the time when things start to get chaotic might overlap with Naruto's. Kushina, if you don't decide now, you might regret it later because of this short delay?"

Kushina hesitated.

There are two examples of perfect Jinchūriki in Kumogakure, and as the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, Kurama's perfect Jinchūriki would only be stronger.

"Mother."

Naruto's voice came from behind him, and Naruto squeezed out from the side.

He then stood in front of Kushina: "I'm friends with the fox boss. If we're friends, it wouldn't just leave me to my death."

"Because I promised it that if I wanted to leave, Brother Yun would use his power to save my life. And... I won't seal it away again."

Naruto placed a hand on his lower abdomen as he spoke: "Being locked in a cage all the time must be very uncomfortable for Boss Fox. If someone kept me locked up in a place like this for a long time, I probably would have gone crazy by now, right?"

"So... I want to release Boss Fox!"

With his last words, Naruto raised his head, a smile on his face.

He then clenched his fist, turned to Kushina, and said, "Although Mom and Dad are both strong, I, as the future me, will be even stronger! I will protect you, protect the village, and protect everyone!"

"Even without Boss Fox, I can do it! Keeping my word is my ninja way!"

Minato and Kushina were both moved by Naruto's words.

Meanwhile, Yun, standing to the side, had switched her eyes to the state of eternal eyes.

There was no overflow of power.

Does talent convince you?

Such a talent is truly impossible to defend against.

But what about winning as a prerequisite?

It's understandable that Obito was beaten up by Naruto several times before, and he always suffered losses, but what about Naruto's treatment of Minato and Kushina?

It would be a miracle if we could win.

"I see."

Minato's voice rang out, and he smiled before summoning the toad from Mount Myōboku.

Seeing this, Kushina just sighed, smiled, and reached out to ruffle Naruto's hair: "From now on, it'll be up to Naruto to protect Mommy."

Naruto nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I'm very strong!"

"Bang!"

As the smoke cleared, Gamabunta looked at the group before his gaze settled on the little nine-tailed fox: "If the nine-tailed fox were to shrink, it would be this cute?"

These words made the little nine-tailed fox bare its teeth: "Little toad, are you tired of living? Believe me or not, I'll make you a braised dish for dinner tonight!"

Hama Yin shuddered. No matter what, she was still a nine-tailed fox!

Then it looked at Minato and said, "You called me out so late, and I saw the Nine-Tails as soon as I came out. I'll probably have nightmares when I get back. What is it? Tell me quickly."

Minato apologized awkwardly, "I want to remove the key sealed inside Naruto, so I'll have to trouble you with that."

Gamabunta paused for a moment, looked at Naruto, and said, "Even though it's a Uzumaki clan physique, are we starting now? Doing so would be too dangerous."

The little nine-tailed fox standing to the side said unhappily, "Just take it out when I tell you to. Why does a key custodian have to worry about so much? Can't you see my boss is here? Is there anything he can't handle?"

Uchiha Yun...

Hama Yin and Yun exchanged a glance.

With him around, even the Nine-Tails really can't cause any trouble.

The next moment, Gamabunta stretched his body and took out the sealed key scroll.

Minato took it and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Gamabunta waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually. Minato, you're still so polite."

After smiling, Minato looked at Naruto on the other side: "If you've already made up your mind, then place your handprint here."

Naruto laughed and pressed his hand to his stomach: "Fox Boss, I'll let you out right away."

……

Five minutes later, Naruto pressed one hand against the seal on his lower abdomen.

The next moment, the sealed land.

"Click click click!"

With a soft sound, the sealing talisman dissipated, and the prison bars vanished from their spot.

Immediately, crimson chakra filled the entire space.

At the same time, Naruto stood before the Nine-Tails inside him, beaming, and said, "Boss, I've finally freed you!"

Surrounded by chakra, Kurama's vertical pupils stared directly at Naruto, a fang emerging from its ferocious smile.

"Naruto!!!"

With a roar, a sharp claw suddenly attacked.

However, Naruto showed no intention of dodging, and even stared directly at the claws.

Just as Minato was about to move, Kurama jumped onto his shoulder and stopped him: "Don't panic, it's just being tsundere."

Minato withdrew his raised hand.

At that moment, the Nine-Tails' claws inside Naruto's body stopped instantly in front of him.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of dying?"

Naruto laughed and replied, "As the leader, how could I kill my own subordinate? That's not how a leader should behave!"

Kurama grinned, baring its teeth. "Hmph! Your parents sealed me away for so many years, and now only Uchiha Yun is outside. Wait until some time..."

At that moment, the chakra of the Nine-Tails surged forth and connected to Naruto.

Inside Naruto's body, the Nine-Tails appeared with a disdainful look: "You're just habitually two-faced. If you keep babbling on, you'll probably be pinned to the ground again in no time."

Nine-Tails roared, "What are you doing in here? Get out!"

The Nine-Tails crossed its arms and said, "Even the old man probably doesn't know you as well as I do. Stop pretending. Naruto, as the blond guy the old man was talking about, you should know what to do."

Nine-Tails remained silent for a while.

After a moment, he looked at Naruto and said, "Human lifespan is only so short. As your subordinate, I'll reluctantly sacrifice a nap..."

Naruto paused for a moment, then asked, "Fox Boss, aren't you going out?"

The little nine-tailed fox laughed: "It goes out? Go out and get humiliated? Boss Yun can teach it how to be a fox with one hand."

Before Kurama could erupt in fury, the little Kurama placed a paw on Naruto's shoulder: "Let's go, there are still some things to explain."

"asshole!!"

With a roar, Naruto and the Nine-Tails disappeared from the spot.

……

In reality.

The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto and said, "The situation of its half-body is a little different from mine. Now your task is to purify its negative emotions as much as possible."

"Although it has acknowledged you, these things might affect you when it uses its power. Cultivating a connection of minds is your next goal."

Naruto listened, completely stunned.

A meeting of minds?

How should one practice this?

The next second, a pair of hands pulled Naruto into an embrace.

Even with Yun watching over him, Kushina was still worried about him.
