"Hmph!" The Nine-Tailed Fox sneered, offering no response. How could its Nine-Tailed Fox possibly comfort a human?
Even if this human did it so that it wouldn't be alone anymore.
Well, that's something that Lord Nine-Tailed wouldn't care about.
For thousands of years, it has been all alone.
Already used to it.
But its nine tails were flying around unconsciously.
"I will definitely overcome those feelings, you wait and see, Kurama." Naruto said earnestly to Kurama.
"You're still far from it, I'm not joking!" Kurama looked at Naruto seriously and said, "That's just a tiny fraction of my chakra. Because of this seal, I can only transmit a very small amount of chakra. If you really intend to accept my power, then..."
"We must break the seal!" Naruto continued.
"That's how it is. However, if the seal is broken, I might just take over your body." Kurama clicked its tongue, seemingly wanting Naruto to do just that!
Naruto smiled and said, "You can't do that. Don't forget, I have my comrades!"
He wasn't alone; his companions were his support.
Kurama remained silent. He was quite wary of Sasuke's abilities, as no one had ever truly threatened the lives of a tailed beast.
At most, we can only seal them or disperse them.
One day, they may be able to be resurrected somewhere in the ninja world.
However, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan became the first entity capable of truly annihilating them.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is truly unreasonable.
“I will be ready, then I will break the seal and accept your chakra!” Naruto said.
"Then, you'll become a perfect Jinchuriki with me!" Naruto said, giving Kurama a thumbs-up.
"Who wants to become a perfect Jinchūriki with a brat like you?" Kurama shouted angrily.
“ε=(?ο｀*))) Sigh, that’s what you said before.” Naruto said, scratching his head.
"I forgot!" Nine-Tails shook its head, denying that it had said such a thing.
"I'll record what you say next time. You can watch TV for now. I'm leaving!" Naruto snapped his fingers, the TV turned on again, waved at Kurama, and Naruto's figure disappeared from the spot.
"That brat, who knows, that day might really come." Kurama stared blankly at the spot where Naruto had disappeared.
The next day, Xiangling woke up suddenly.
She had a nightmare, a very long nightmare. Although the aura of hatred did not directly affect her, it still influenced her.
Fortunately, she knocked herself unconscious in time; otherwise, she might have been overwhelmed by such intense negative emotions and lost her mind.
"Are you alright?" a gentle voice sounded in her ear.
She was like a startled quail, immediately hugging the blanket and trembling.
Hinata embraced Karin and hugged her to comfort her, saying, "It's alright now, Naruto has regained control of himself."
"Naruto?" Xiangling stared blankly at Hinata. Yes, that malice was exactly the same as the chakra she occasionally sensed deep within Naruto's body.
"Naruto, is he alright?" Xiangling swallowed hard. She was filled with gratitude towards Naruto, after all, he was the one who pulled her out of the abyss of Kusagakure.
"It's alright now," Hinata said, nodding slightly.
"That's good, I was so scared last night." Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 84 Searching for Tsunade
"You want to learn medical ninjutsu?" Naruto asked Karin curiously. "Why do you suddenly want to learn medical ninjutsu?"
"I just feel that I'm more suited to learning medical ninjutsu, since my physique can help them recover from injuries faster." Xiangling would never say that she wanted to learn easier medical ninjutsu and become a support ninja because the training was too hard.
After all, it's a bit embarrassing.
Naruto said with a gentle smile, "No problem. You can come to Konoha Hospital with me and Hinata's shadow clones. You can study with us there."
He didn't ask anything of Xiangling, as long as she had a job and could support herself.
As for making Xiangling a strong person?
Stop joking. With them around, Konoha has no shortage of strong fighters right now.
This is exactly what our ancestors hoped for: to be protected by the powerful ninja village of Konoha.
The younger generation in the ninja village are able to live freely and peacefully.
There's no need to force everyone to go to the battlefield and then sacrifice themselves at a young age!
Naruto strongly agrees with this idea, which is why he wants to achieve unification, because only in this way can a peaceful environment last longer.
At least, he would do his best to maintain this peaceful environment until he died.
Xiangling nodded excitedly, finally free from Naruto's terrifying training regimen!
"By the way, although you want to become a medical ninja, you can't neglect physical training. I'll teach you Shadow Clone Jutsu, and you can use Shadow Clone Jutsu to learn medical ninjutsu!" Naruto said after taking a sip of tea.
Xiangling froze instantly!
Hinata chuckled softly.
“At least your physical fitness is better now, so you can run faster when you need to escape!” Naruto said to Karin.
Xiangling nodded with difficulty.
“If I’m not around, then Sasuke will keep an eye on you,” Naruto added.
Xiangling nodded excitedly.
Next, Naruto began training with Sasuke.
Sasuke used the Mind-Reflection Pact ability of his left eye to share Naruto's memories of his training.
Although Naruto would share his training experience with Sasuke without reservation, what comes out of his mouth is always different from what is engraved in his memory!
Naruto had already mastered the Five Elements attributes to perfection. With the help of this training memory, he quickly mastered the last attribute, the Wind attribute.
Next, once he has mastered the wind attribute to its peak, he can go to Mount Myōboku to cultivate sage techniques.
Naruto, on the other hand, was sharing Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan and began developing his own Yin Release.
Naruto even suspects that the Mangekyou Sharingan is essentially a manifestation of Yin Release.
After obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto's development speed in Yin Release was no slower than his development speed in Yang Release.
It should be noted that after he completed his training in Sage Mode, his training speed in Yang Release increased dramatically day by day.
It's easy to imagine how vast the Yin Release chakra contained within the Mangekyou Sharingan is.
As for Hinata, she had already entered Mount Myōboku and was training in Sage Mode.
She doesn't need to train in ninjutsu; the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku can greatly enhance her physical constitution, which is very suitable for Hinata.
So Naruto had Hinata sign the contract for Mount Myōboku, and then sent Hinata to train in Sage Mode.
Hinata's own chakra is also quite vast, although not as much as his, but much stronger than Sasuke's.
Cultivating immortal techniques is not a problem at all.
Of course, now that Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his spiritual energy has greatly increased, and his chakra is now in a period of explosive growth.
After all, Sasuke also trains in taijutsu every day, and every improvement in his physical fitness leads to a surge in his chakra.
By leveraging his spiritual energy advantage to drive the growth of chakra, Sasuke's chakra reserves began to develop in a superhuman direction.
Sasuke has now reached the Kage level, and he is a Kage level expert with no weaknesses in any aspect.
If Sasuke were by Naruto's side, Naruto's last weakness—his genjutsu—would disappear.
After all, he can share Sasuke's abilities, and he also has the Mangekyou Sharingan!
While Naruto was training methodically, Jiraiya came knocking on his door.
"Are we going to find Tsunade?" Naruto said, taking a bite of his popsicle.
"You've seen it too, haven't you? The Third Hokage is very old, and he doesn't have enough energy to manage the affairs of Konoha Village anymore. Tsunade is the best candidate to become the next Hokage," Jiraiya said, holding an ice pop.
"I see." Naruto nodded. "Then you can go find it yourself, why take me with you?"
He wants to practice Sage Mode more so he can become familiar with it as soon as possible and enter Sage Mode more quickly.
"Well, just think of it as coming on a trip with me!" Jiraiya said shamelessly.
Naruto glanced at him sideways.
Jiraiya feigned surrender: "Well, actually, I'm not confident I can persuade Tsunade to come back and take over as Hokage."
"Isn't she one of the Legendary Sannin? Why isn't she back?" Naruto asked curiously.
According to Jiraiya, he left Konoha to gather materials from various places to complete his masterpiece, Icha Icha Paradise.
And what about Tsunade?
Why did she leave Konoha?
"In fact, Tsunade is also a pitiful person," Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
"During the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade's younger brother died on the battlefield, causing her immense psychological trauma. Before she could recover, her boyfriend also died in her arms because of the war!"
"She has war syndrome?" Naruto said, frowning slightly.
This is a psychological illness that Konoha developed after establishing a comprehensive medical system under Tsunade's leadership, and was discovered during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars. Many Konoha ninjas who experienced the wars suffered from this illness.
However, this kind of mental illness cannot be treated even with the best medical techniques; patients can only overcome it through medication and their own efforts.
"Yes, if she had stayed in Konoha, it would have only made her psychological trauma worse. The Third Hokage told her to go out and relax, but little did he expect that she would be gone for so many years," Jiraiya said with a sigh.
"However, Konoha's intelligence agencies have been receiving news of Tsunade, confirming her safety, so the Third Hokage has allowed Tsunade to continue to travel and relax."
Naruto nodded slightly. After suffering from war syndrome, he was no longer suitable to be a ninja, so it was normal for Tsunade to go out and relax.
Furthermore, as the progenitor of medical ninjas, it would be quite easy for Tsunade to prepare medications to treat her mental health issues.
"That's why I thought of taking you with me, because you're a bit like Tsunade's younger brother, and maybe you can help her get out of that shadow!" Jiraiya said.
"Me? Like his younger brother?" Naruto was taken aback; this was something he hadn't expected. "Do I really look like his younger brother?"
"Appearance is one thing, but it's more about that positive and ambitious spirit. Nawaki used to shout every day that he wanted to be Hokage." Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh as he recalled that little brat.
"Really?" Naruto's lips curled up slightly. So there were like-minded people among them.
"Alright, then I'll go with you!" Naruto said to Jiraiya after finishing his popsicle.
"Then let's set off tomorrow morning!" Jiraiya said hastily, having finally managed to coax Naruto into agreeing.
Naruto turned around, waved, and left.
The following day, Naruto, carrying his backpack, registered at the entrance of Konoha with Jiraiya and embarked on his journey to find Tsunade.
Although Konoha had just suffered some losses from the attacks by the Sand and Sound Ninja, fortunately Shukaku did not cause widespread destruction in the heart of Konoha, given the size of Konoha and the wealth of the Land of Fire.
Konoha Village quickly recovered. Although he and Hinata had left, Sasuke was still in Konoha Village. Even if someone attacked Konoha Village, there were still two Kage-level figures guarding the village.
He also left Sasuke a Flying Thunder God kunai to carry with him.
If Konoha is in crisis, he can return home to provide support at any time!
Konoha Village is quite safe.
Chapter 85 Key
"Hey, Naruto, why was the Nine-Tails' chakra able to corrupt your body last time?" Jiraiya asked casually as he walked forward.
"Haha, I thought you guys weren't really curious," Naruto said with a laugh.
"It's not curiosity, it's concern, concern, you big idiot!" Jiraiya said, waving his fist.
"Hey, Jiraiya-sensei, have you ever heard of the concept of a perfect Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked, looking at Jiraiya.
"A perfect Jinchūriki, huh?" Jiraiya chewed on the term. "There really is such a thing!"
"Oh? Is there anyone else in the ninja world who is a perfect Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked curiously, his eyes lighting up.
"The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, as was Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails. Both of them displayed the power of a perfect Jinchuriki on the battlefield!" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
