Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 15 Fist Fight

Chapter 15 Fist Fight

Inside the sealed space, the Nine-Tails slowly opened its eyes.

He actually did it! That kid…

However... obtaining the key means that Naruto has the ability to release it, but it also means that the most powerful tailed beast power is now completely under Naruto's control.

Wood Release, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Flying Thunder God Technique, and a chakra reserve no less than that of a Tailed Beast…

As Kurama watched Naruto's retreating figure, a ripple appeared in its usually calm gaze.

Naruto…

You now possess power that even Hashirama Senju didn't have. If you wish, I will not be able to resist in the slightest.

So what will you do next?

"Kurama, keep your chakra safe."

Naruto turned his head, his face serious: "Don't let anything leak out."

"Oh?"

Kurama watched him with interest, quickly gathering all its dissipated chakra: "And then?"

Naruto lifted his shirt, revealing a complex pattern on his arm, and then gently twisted his stomach, causing a series of cracking sounds to come from the seal gate.

As the vortex-shaped lock above the portal retracted one ring at a time, the sealed portal that had imprisoned the Nine-Tails was opened with a clang, seemingly effortlessly.

"And then...you're free."

Naruto grinned, and a moment of silence fell over the sealed space—no, it should be called the mental space now.

A human and a fox, one large and one small, gazed at each other quietly.

The Nine-Tailed Fox lay motionless on the water's surface, its nine tails swaying gently behind it, and streams of scarlet chakra emanating from beneath it.

The chakra spread out for only a short distance before disappearing again, as if it had been swallowed up by some unseen force.

"Negative buff detected: Chakra disorder, removed! Nine-Tails Chakra obtained."

Suddenly, another line of text appeared on the system panel, startling Naruto.

"Hmph... You felt it, didn't you?"

Kurama snorted coldly: "How dare you presumptuously ask me to restrain my chakra..."

As it spoke, it slowly sat up, its mountain-like figure blocking Naruto's view, its large orange claws raised high.

"You're not worried... that your inexplicable ability will erase this old man, are you? Don't get too cocky, you brat!!"

boom!

A heavy punch landed in front of Naruto, but Naruto didn't budge.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox twitched its lips, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

"It's as awkward as ever..."

Naruto slightly raised his head: "Aren't you planning to go outside for some fresh air?"

"Well... I guess I'll accept your favor. We agreed on ten years, but only two years have passed. I'm not one to break my word."

With a flick of its finger, Kurama sent Naruto staggering.

"Also, there are some things you still need to know... Put your fist out here."

Naruto raised his hands, his two fists, one big and one small, met. In an instant, an unfamiliar memory appeared in Naruto's mind.

It is a memory recorded from the perspective of the Nine-Tails on the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

At the same time, Kurama sensed Naruto's inner world: loneliness, peace, tranquility, and a vast, dark rift, like an abyss...

However, it had no sense of its memories at all, because they had been erased by the system.

"Negative buff detected: Memory Probing, erased! Nine-Tails Chakra gained."

"I say... you're even going to be greedy for this little bit of chakra?"

"I'm sorry, I can't control it either."

Faced with Kurama's displeasure, Naruto innocently shrugged.

Even if he could control it, he wouldn't show it to the Nine-Tails.

Once they realize that they are nothing more than a fictional creation, they may begin to doubt their self-awareness, leading them to do some unpredictable things.

There's a guy next door who wears a red bodysuit and slaughtered the entire universe because of it!

Naruto believed that given Kurama's arrogant nature, it was unlikely to be affected by such a thing, but knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing.

Furthermore, as a human being, he would delete his browsing history completely, so how could he allow others to probe his memories?

Stop joking!

Don't underestimate the bond between me and XP!

"Never mind, let's not talk about that now..."

Nine-Tails shook her head: "You must have seen what happened with that masked man, right?"

Naruto nodded: "Are you worried about that guy?"

"Tch... Although it's very annoying, I really can't do anything about that guy."

Kurama scoffed, "But with you in the mix, the two of us could definitely kill him! Naruto, you inherited the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, possessing terrifying potential that surpasses even the Fourth Hokage, or even the First Hokage."

"But potential takes time to materialize, and you're still too inexperienced."

"You want me to stay in Konoha for the time being?"

"It depends on your mood."

Kurama crossed his arms, knowing Naruto's aversion to Konoha, and changed his approach to a more tactful one.

"In terms of raw strength, you are already very strong. What you lack is only physical development and combat experience. So what you need most right now is time. It doesn't necessarily have to be Konoha. If you have other suitable options, that's fine too."

"Hmm...that makes sense, but it's obviously not my personality. I'm just too lazy to argue, it's not like I don't have a temper."

Naruto said, cracking his knuckles, "Let me ask you a question, do tailed beasts need to sleep?"

Kurama paused for a moment: "Well... it's still necessary, but we are chakra life forms after all. If we're not mentally exhausted, not sleeping won't have much of an impact."

"Then let's go find that guy directly."

"Kid, are you crazy?"

Nine-Tails was completely dumbfounded. How come you're even more reckless than me, a tailed beast?

"No, I'm perfectly sober..."

Naruto smiled grimly: "Kurama, remember this: truth... only exists within the range of cannons!"

As he spoke, outside, Naruto circulated his chakra, gagged, and spat out Gamabunta.

As soon as Gamakaya landed, he darted behind Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, the seal is broken."

"It actually got solved..."

Jiraiya glanced warily at Naruto, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the other party didn't seem to be about to go berserk.

"Naruto, could you... give me a chance to make amends?"

Looking at Naruto's indifferent expression, Jiraiya opened his mouth with some difficulty. Over the years, no matter how strong the enemy was, he had never felt such a clear sense of powerlessness.

Naruto remained indifferent: "There's no chance anymore, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived late with a group of ninjas.

"Jiraiya! Where's Naruto?"

Seeing Jiraiya standing alone, looking lost and dejected, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly asked him what was wrong.

Jiraiya said expressionlessly, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked anxious: "What about the seal? How's the seal?"

"It's been untied, so it shouldn't do anything to Konoha. But even if it does do something, it can only be considered Konoha's retribution."

"I'll try to get him back, but before that, you should reflect on yourself first, old man..."

Jiraiya said this, ignoring Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was left with an embarrassed look on his face, along with the ninjas with various expressions.
