After all, in their understanding, it was impossible for the Nine-Tails to communicate!
Tailed beasts are simply powerful wild animals.
This is how a normal person would think.
After all, no one has ever tried to communicate with the tailed beasts.
They all subdued the tailed beasts with their strength or sealed them with sealing techniques.
"We must be prepared for both possibilities, Kakashi. Have all the residents in the surrounding area been evacuated?" the Third Hokage said in a deep voice.
Just in case, if Naruto really goes berserk, at least he won't harm innocent people.
"Yes, I've already had the surrounding villagers evacuated. Fortunately, this is on the edge of the village, so there aren't many villagers renting here," Kakashi nodded and said.
"Look, something's changed in Naruto!" Guy suddenly said.
He kept a close eye on Naruto's condition, his eyes never leaving Naruto's body.
Everyone immediately focused their attention.
"The Nine-Tails' chakra has disappeared!" Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly, his tone filled with joy.
"It seems Sasuke and Hinata succeeded!" Guy excitedly slapped his palm and fist together.
Kakashi pulled his headband down, covering his Sharingan, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Third Hokage and Hiashi Hyuga also breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, all three of them opened their eyes.
They were startled to see so many people surrounding them in the room.
"You guys?" Before Naruto could finish speaking, Guy rushed over and hugged him.
"Naruto, I'm so glad you're alright." Tears were already streaming down his face.
It's important to know that Naruto was taken in as his disciple from a young age, and he was raised like a son.
He hadn't said a word because he was so nervous he couldn't speak.
Seeing that Naruto was safe and sound, Guy finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
"Master!" Naruto was being held by Guy, but a happy smile appeared on his lips. Sure enough, he already had happiness now, and someone who cared about and worried about him.
Why should people just stand still and be trapped in the past?
Chapter 82 That guy is lonely
"Naruto!" Jiraiya's voice carried his usual exaggerated tone, but at this moment it was more of a sigh of relief and relief.
He strode over to Naruto, not embracing him like Guy did, but instead roughly ruffling Naruto's already messy blond hair, grinning, though his eyes held a lingering fear: "You brat! You scared me to death! But... it's good you're awake! It's good you're alright!"
Although Kakashi had removed his headband to cover his Sharingan, his brows still showed a slight furrow.
He stepped forward, scrutinizing Naruto from head to toe with sharp eyes to make sure he was truly unharmed.
He didn't speak, but crossed his arms and said in his signature languid yet slightly relieved tone, "Looks like everything's alright."
The Third Hokage's expression was the most composed, but the heavy worry between his brows had now transformed into a relaxed gentleness.
He looked at Naruto, who had been released by Kai and was now facing the concern of his elders. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to smooth out a bit, and his gaze was filled with love and relief.
“Naruto,” the Hokage’s voice was deep and authoritative, but also full of the concern of an elder, “you must remember that your safety is more important than anything else.”
This is what he has always been doing: ensuring Naruto grows up safely.
After confirming that Naruto was safe and sound, the group tacitly refrained from asking why Naruto had been affected by the Nine-Tails' chakra, and instead chose to leave Naruto's room.
As Hiashi Hyuga left, he glanced at Hinata and, seeing that she had no intention of returning with him, could only sigh helplessly.
There is no way for women to stay in college.
What could he do?
"You idiot, if you ever do anything so dangerous again, I have to be by your side," Sasuke shouted at Naruto.
"That's right, if it weren't for Sasuke-kun this time, Naruto, you would be in danger." Hinata stood on Sasuke's side this time.
Naruto scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which, how did you guys get into my inner world?"
"With my awakened eye technique!" Sasuke opened and closed his eyes, and his Mangekyou Sharingan was activated.
"This is... Sasuke, when did you awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.
"It's all because of you, you idiot!" Sasuke glared at Naruto instead. If it weren't for this guy causing such a serious problem, he wouldn't have awakened these eyes.
I don't know whether I should thank Naruto or give him a good scolding.
"Hahaha, this is what they call surviving a great calamity and being blessed with good fortune, although this good fortune is happening to you." Naruto laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about the crisis he had just faced.
"Tch!" Sasuke glanced at Naruto helplessly. Did this idiot even realize how dangerous things had just happened?
If he and Hinata hadn't entered his inner world in time, he would probably have fallen completely into darkness by now.
However, Naruto's personality has always been like this, and he didn't know what to say.
In short, he's a complete idiot!
"Naruto, please don't do things like that again. Even without the Nine-Tails' power, I will still try my best to help you complete that plan," Hinata said to Naruto with concern.
"No!" Naruto shook his head and looked at Hinata, saying, "I never wanted the Nine-Tails' power in the first place."
Sasuke, Hinata, and Kurama were stunned.
"I'm only 12 years old now, oh, almost 13, but to brag a little, at my age, if I continue to grow, I'll be able to do what I want to do sooner or later."
"And with the help of the two of you, there's no rush to get things done, so this matter isn't putting too much pressure on me!"
After thinking for a moment, Sasuke and Hinata both nodded in agreement with what Naruto had said.
"But why do you still..." Hinata looked at Naruto, puzzled.
"Because I can sense that guy is lonely!" Naruto smiled gently, stroking the seal on his stomach that hadn't yet faded.
The Nine-Tails, who was listening quietly, trembled slightly.
"That guy probably wanted a companion to be with him, which is why I did this. But now it seems I overestimated myself. Well, after all, I'm still no match for thousands of years of accumulated negative emotions." Naruto scratched his head and chuckled.
"But it's just a tailed beast." Sasuke couldn't understand why anyone would put themselves in danger for a wild beast.
“No, the Nine-Tails is intelligent, can think, and has life. This proves that it is not just a simple beast. It is a complete life form, only its form is different from ours.” Naruto shook his head and rejected Sasuke’s opinion.
"Sasuke, if you lived in a world where everyone else was a different kind of being, and they treated you as an outsider, or even as an intelligent being, and all they thought about was dealing with you and sealing you away, what would you do?" Naruto asked Sasuke earnestly.
After thinking for a moment, Sasuke replied, "Rebel against them, or kill them all!"
Naruto nodded slightly: "So you see, your thoughts are no different from Kurama's!"
Sasuke frowned slightly, but he had to admit that Naruto was right.
"I just want its approval, so it won't be all alone anymore," Naruto shrugged, summarizing his thoughts.
“But this is too reckless. If you ever do this kind of training again, let me know first. I’ll be watching from the sidelines, and if anything goes wrong, I’ll pull you out.” Sasuke looked at Naruto and said seriously.
"I understand, then I'll leave it to you, Sasuke." Naruto clasped his hands together, looking extremely grateful.
"But Sasuke, what exactly is the ability of your awakened Mangekyou Sharingan?" Naruto asked curiously.
Hinata also looked over.
Sasuke frowned slightly, as if he was receiving some kind of information.
He slowly began to speak: "The left eye is called Heart-to-Heart Connection. Its essence is deep resonance and sharing of all states. It can establish a spiritual link with the target and synchronously perceive the other party's emotional fluctuations, memory fragments, and physiological state."
"Furthermore, in a shared state, all capabilities can be shared with the person sharing them for a short period of time."
“For example.” He revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye, a tear of blood streaming down his cheek, and quickly glanced at Naruto and Hinata.
The two were stunned for a moment, but their eyes immediately revealed the same Mangekyou Sharingan as Sasuke's.
All three, including Sasuke, were shocked.
"Is this the world seen through the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Naruto excitedly rolled his eyes around. Everything seemed to slow down, and he could even see dust particles dancing in the air.
“It’s completely different from the Byakugan’s insight.” Hinata was also trying out the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"This is Naruto's chakra and physical attributes." Sasuke felt an unprecedented saturation of chakra within his body. With this kind of chakra, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state when he fought Shukaku last time, and he didn't even have to fight until his chakra was exhausted.
Under what circumstances would such a massive amount of chakra be exhausted?
Chapter 83 The Mangekyou Sharingan, it really doesn't make sense.
Of course, there are limitations. He didn't mention it, but it can only be applied to a single person with a deep bond. He has already defaulted to binding Naruto, and the consumption increases dramatically when forcing resonance with others, and it may backfire on his own spirit.
Hinata was someone he trusted deeply, and they had grown up together since childhood, sharing a strong bond and not resisting him. That's why Sasuke was able to share his abilities with Hinata.
Sasuke quickly canceled the ability.
"What an amazing ability. With this ability, it's like we all have each other's abilities. So, what about the right eye?" Naruto asked Sasuke, his eyes now a clear blue.
"The ability of 'Extinction Returns to Nothingness' is essentially the absolute decomposition of matter and energy. The chakra structure at the focal point of vision will be decomposed into primordial energy particles. For physical matter, it will be dismantled at the molecular level, including living matter, but direct contact is required."
"With this move, I can completely annihilate even creatures like the Tailed Beasts, which are purely composed of chakra!" Sasuke's eyes flashed with sternness.
Perhaps it was because Naruto was in that state, and because of his words to Kurama, "If Naruto dies, Kurama will be buried with him," that his Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique materialized into the Light of the Soul.
Hearts are in harmony, and the contract is shared by all. The sun (Naruto) must never fall.
"Embers vanish into nothingness, all things return to desolation"—a resolute act to eliminate all threats to Naruto.
Naruto has become the source of Sasuke's emotions, the only sun in his heart, and the awakened Mangekyou Sharingan is all related to Naruto.
This is nothing more than the so-called eye that reflects the soul.
"Impressive! Having this ability means your strength has truly made a qualitative leap," Naruto praised.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke's lips curled into a slight smile.
“Well, in that case, once you've finished training your five elemental attributes, you can go to Mount Myōboku for Sage Mode training. That way, your strength will leap forward once again, and then we'll leave Konoha,” Naruto said.
"Leaving Konoha, what for?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Find Itachi!" Naruto said in a deep voice.
Sasuke's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Yes, he had already obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, so the time for revenge had come.
“We’ve already waited so long, there’s no rush. Let’s wait until you’ve successfully mastered Sage Mode before going to find Itachi,” Naruto said, seeing Sasuke’s expression.
Sasuke nodded silently; indeed, they needed to have more trump cards up their sleeves.
No one knows how strong Itachi has become after all these years away.
After being repeatedly tormented by Naruto in various ways, he has learned to be more composed!
"It's getting late, Hinata, why don't you sleep with Karin for the night?" Naruto said, turning to Hinata.
"Mmm." Hinata nodded obediently.
"But speaking of which, where's Xiangling?" Naruto suddenly remembered that there was someone else at home!
He caused such a commotion; with Xiangling's keen senses, there's no reason she wouldn't have noticed.
The three exchanged a glance and went to Xiangling's room.
"She's passed out, and it looks like she knocked herself out," Sasuke said, glancing at Karin's condition.
Naruto probably guessed why Karin knocked herself out.
"Looks like having too good a sense of perception isn't a good thing after all." Naruto shrugged. "Hinata, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Karin."
"Okay." Hinata smiled; she wouldn't refuse Naruto's offer.
Naruto patted Hinata's head, and they each returned to their own rooms.
Lying in bed, Naruto returned to the sealed space once again.
"I'm sorry, Kurama, I didn't expect to fail again." Naruto said to Kurama.
"Hmph, I already expected this. You're far from being able to withstand my power, kid." Nine-Tails said with a cold snort, still lying on the grass.
The sealed space has now returned to its original state of blue sky, white clouds, and grass.
"Hey, you damn Nine-Tails, can't you even comfort me a little?!" Naruto suddenly flew into a rage, jumping up and gesturing wildly at the Nine-Tails while unleashing a torrent of roars.
