But now, all he could do was curse! And his attempts at shouting were only muffled cries! How desperately Lin Feng wished Kushina would catch up in time!
But it was all over!
The Fourth Hokage's hands suddenly emitted a blinding golden light! The smile on his face was utterly composed. Yet, only Lin Feng and the Third Hokage far away knew the true cost of the Reaper Death Seal!
The golden light rapidly expanded, obscuring the scene from everyone's view!
It lasted for a very long time. When others finally opened their eyes, they saw a massive crater where the Nine-Tails had stood!
Gamabunta had vanished. On the ground, only the critically injured Fourth Hokage remained!
Beside him was a crying child—Little Naruto!
Where had Lin Feng gone?
And where was Kushina?
At that moment, no one noticed this detail!
The people were simultaneously grieving and rejoicing!
They rejoiced that the Nine-Tails was finally sealed, but they grieved the loss of a Hokage's life!
Under the starry sky, a yellow flash sped across mountains, fields, and small islands.
As the camera zoomed in, a tall young man became visible.
His expression was one of intense pain.
In his arms, he held an unconscious beautiful woman!
This person was Lin Feng, who had returned to his adult state! However, he was completely naked, and his body was intensely hot! The seal mark on his lower abdomen flickered in and out of sight!
"Damn Nine-Tails!" Lin Feng couldn't help but curse. "That chakra is too overbearing! It almost killed me!" Although he didn't know why he had suddenly reverted to his adult state, Lin Feng didn't want to be discovered by others!
He had only one thought: get away from Konoha!
He didn't know how long he ran until all the strength in his body was depleted, and he slowly stopped. His consciousness was scattering, and his last shred of awareness was lost!
In a daze, Lin Feng found himself back in that pitch-black world.
The difference this time was the presence of a gigantic Sealing Gate!
And inside it, was a massive fox—the Nine-Tails!
This was the Nine-Tails' Yin (Negative) attribute chakra! Although Lin Feng was not corporeal, he could clearly feel the immense power of the entity!
"I didn't think you'd break the seal so quickly!" The red-clothed little girl reappeared before Lin Feng. She looked at the Nine-Tails behind the iron gate and suddenly gave a playful smile: "A demon beast like this does possess decent strength."
Japan's 'Divine Beast' is nothing but this to the Qilin girl!
But then again, if a beast like this could be called a 'Divine Beast,' then China's auspicious Qilin could practically be called a Creator God!
"ROAR!" Being looked down upon by such a small girl, the furious Nine-Tails let out an angry roar, but no matter what it did, it couldn't break free from the seal's restraints!
"Damnable humans! I will make you pay!"
The most shocked person was Lin Feng!
However, he wasn't scared of the Nine-Tails; he was terrified by the little girl's words!
She could speak so casually to the ancient Japanese "Divine Beast" Nine-Tails—what did that mean?
"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Lin Feng calculated in his heart, wondering how he could conquer this seemingly harmless little girl!
"Hey, um—" Lin Feng ignored the roaring Nine-Tails and said to the little girl, "Why did I suddenly turn into an adult? Was it because of that fox's chakra?"
"Chakra?" The little girl clearly hadn't heard the word, but she seemed to understand: "While I don't know what you mean by 'chakra,' its power did indeed burst open your body's seals. You can feel it now, right? Your body seems to hold boundless energy! I just don't know if you can control it!"
Having the power is enough! Lin Feng smiled: "That's great! Only power is king!" At this moment, he began fantasizing about the glorious scene of putting all the Naruto beauties into his harem for a grand, simultaneous slumber!
"I say, Nine-Tails, you must know the power of this seal, right?" Lin Feng started thinking about exploiting the Nine-Tails: "Did you ever imagine that one day you'd be sealed away?"
"Despicable human!" The Nine-Tails wanted to kill the person in front of it, but its power couldn't break the seal!
Stripped of its Yang chakra, it was reduced to a caged pet, subject to Lin Feng's taunts from outside: "But I don't think you'll submit so easily. I'll lock you up for a while longer."
Lin Feng felt as if he was about to wake up, so he quickly asked the little girl: "When can I freely enter and exit this space and the outside world?"
"When you figure out the method!" The little girl smiled. "Now, hurry up and go outside!"
"Well, this situation is really disorienting!" Lin Feng slowly woke up, finding himself lying on a large bed. His previously naked body was now clothed.
"Who helped me?" Thinking of the beautiful woman, Kushina Uzumaki, whom he had carried out, Lin Feng's heart leaped. Where did she go?
This was a simple room that looked as if it hadn't been lived in for a long time. Lin Feng looked around and found a small garden through the back door. The moment he stepped out, he froze.
Moonlight, soft as water, poured down, draping the ground like a light veil. And there, sitting on a stone bench in the garden, was a voluptuous, beautiful woman.
Her deep red hair was as striking as ever, and her black eyes were now overflowing with tears.
"You—" Lin Feng was momentarily at a loss for words. He had been living with her for over a month, but this was the first time he spoke to her like this. Before, he was just a baby!
Hearing the sound behind her, the silently weeping Kushina's body trembled slightly. When she turned, she met Lin Feng's embarrassed smile: "Where are we? I remember..."
"The Land of Whirlpools..." Kushina whispered, then suddenly burst into tears: "Waaah..."
"I... you..." Lin Feng genuinely didn't know what to say to comfort her.
"Naruto is fine; he'll grow up in Konoha," Lin Feng said, walking over to sit beside Kushina, speaking almost to himself: "I am a person from another world..."
