"Feng Xu is here!" Hearing Kurama's shout, Naruto immediately sat up, energized.
However, when he heard the content of Kurama's subsequent words...
He was instantly bewildered, then turned to Kurama in anger!
"Controlled by Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"Kurama, you stinky fox, you lied to me!"
"Didn't you just say it was because my heart was too evil and I was too stupid that I was holding him back?!"
Hearing Naruto's accusation, Kurama, though in the wrong, confidently raised his fox head.
"Hmph, I just said it casually, is that against the law?"
"It's only because you're stupid that you'd believe such an obvious lie!"
"Damn it, I'll never believe you again!" Naruto angrily turned his head away.
But upon seeing Feng Xu approaching, Naruto's anger turned to dejection.
"I'm sorry, Feng Xu, I held you back again."
Because Feng Xu switching Naruto out to take the hit was instantaneous.
So Naruto didn't even realize he had come out.
He thought Feng Xu was too strong to avoid being controlled, and he was too weak to avoid it!
"It's alright, Naruto." Feng Xu gently patted Naruto's head and said with a smile.
"As long as I'm in control of the body, it doesn't matter if you hold me back, it's still the enemy's doomsday anyway."
Hearing Feng Xu's words, Naruto's eyes dimmed.
It seemed he had always been holding Feng Xu back in various ways, waiting for him to clean up his messes.
Perhaps Feng Xu was more suited to control the body and become the primary personality.
But as soon as this thought arose, Naruto quickly banished it from his mind.
Immediately after, Naruto remembered that Feng Xu could now actively take over the body.
He suddenly felt uneasy and lowered his head, asking in a low voice.
"Feng Xu, you can now actively take over the body, does that mean you've also become the primary personality?"
"Silly, there can only be one primary personality. I'm not yet."
Feng Xu's voice was gentle, but his eyes, which Naruto couldn't see, were cold.
"And have you forgotten what I told you?"
"Unless one day you actively let me become the primary personality, you will always be the primary personality."
"Feng Xu..." Naruto, touched by Feng Xu's promise, was filled with emotion.
He then couldn't control his emotions and threw himself into Feng Xu's embrace.
The self-reproach and unease in his heart also completely vanished at this moment, leaving only a sense of security from being protected.
It's so good to have a secondary personality like a big brother!
[Current Trust and Dependence Value: 79% (79%)]
After both the droppable and non-droppable trust and dependence values reached the critical threshold for primary/secondary personality conversion.
Feng Xu finally clearly understood what the condition for reaching 80% and becoming the primary personality was.
That was, Naruto had to willingly give up the primary personality and become the secondary personality!
Thinking of this, Feng Xu once again patted Naruto's head.
"Let's go out, Naruto."
"It's your turn to control the body."
...Chapter 148: It's a Pity They All Died
On the path leading from Konoha Village to the outer gate.
The usually bustling street was now deserted due to the evacuation.
Except for Sasuke, who was striding through with a grim expression.
"As I expected, everyone was taken to evacuate because of Feng Xu's Tailed Beast Chakra giant."
"Now is a good time for me to leave!"
Gazing at the approaching gate.
Sasuke's pace gradually slowed, stopping at the open doorway.
Before leaving, he took one last look at the towering golden-red giant on the left side of the Village.
"Naruto, Feng Xu, I will also obtain this power, and then kill that man..."
"After that, I will return and defeat you both with my own hands..."
Sasuke pursed his lips, silently setting his future goals in his heart.
Then he turned around, ready to run towards the address Bai had given him during the Chunin Exams.
But before he could even lift his leg to move.
Kakashi appeared by the side of the gate ahead, leaning against it.
"Are you preparing to leave?"
"To find the masked man from Four Stars Village who gave you the Tailed Beast Chakra?"
Kakashi's eyes were full of complexity, and his tone was very low.
Sasuke didn't speak, remaining silent for several seconds before finally saying.
"I am an avenger, and I am not on the same path as you."
"So don't meddle in my affairs."
After speaking, without giving Kakashi a chance to continue, Sasuke directly stepped forward and walked outside.
However.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several Kunai with transparent threads cut through the air and landed in front of Sasuke.
Kakashi also instantly appeared, blocking the path ahead.
At the same time, the transparent threads floating in mid-air quickly tightened, instantly binding Sasuke in place.
"What are you doing?"
A dangerous look appeared in Sasuke's eyes.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about this matter of revenge."
Kakashi also timely dropped the threads in his hand.
Indicating that he only wanted to stop Sasuke from leaving.
"Hmph, are you going to lecture me again?"
Sasuke scoffed, "Don't pretend to tell me about the downsides of revenge, you don't understand that feeling at all."
"If you insist on saying you understand me..."
A murderous intent appeared on Sasuke's sneering face.
Golden-red Nine-Tailed Chakra also emerged from his body, and two huge fox tails eerily wrapped around him.
"Then let me kill the person most important to you, and let you understand what true pain and loneliness are ~"
Hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi nodded thoughtfully.
"That's a good idea, it would indeed make me empathize with you."
"It's just, unfortunately..."
"Unfortunately?" Sasuke looked at Kakashi somewhat distractedly.
Because a very strange smile appeared on Kakashi's face.
He was clearly smiling happily, but a sense of sadness and dead silence continuously spread from him.
"It's a pity they all died, when I was about your age."
"They all died..." Looking at Kakashi's awkward smile, Sasuke clenched his fists and lowered his head.
He finally understood now, why Kakashi cared so much about him.
Even more than he cared about Naruto, the son of his teacher, the Fourth Hokage.
It turned out that Kakashi saw his past self in him!
"What I want to say is, the pain and loneliness of losing loved ones, I understand just as well as you do."
"But I'm not telling you to give up revenge, I'm just telling you not to give up your hard-won important comrades."
"Comrades, huh..." In Sasuke's mind, two images of Naruto's face quickly flashed by.
Seeing the hesitation on Sasuke's face, Kakashi immediately spoke again.
"Sometimes it's not shameful to rely on powerful comrades."
"Revenge isn't foolishly acting alone."
"Instead, it's about acting with your comrades, telling your enemy that you're doing well, but they're about to not be!"
"That's the correct way to get revenge, not alone, letting the other party gain the pleasure of successfully destroying your life."
Regarding the powerful Itachi, Kakashi had heard from his former Anbu colleagues.
He sought out Sasuke during the Chunin Exams, but was discovered by Feng Xu.
In the end, he and his companion, an S-rank Hidden Mist rogue ninja, were beaten and driven out!
Plus Feng Xu's current display of terrifying power, capable of annihilating Konoha Village.
Kakashi believed that as long as Sasuke even hinted at it, asked for help.
Even if Feng Xu wasn't interested, Naruto would definitely rush forward eagerly.
And if Itachi was truly found, Feng Xu would still have to personally intervene!
So Sasuke had no need to risk going to the Four Stars Village, with its unknown purpose and unknown dangers!
Just as Sasuke hesitated, the golden-red giant in the left area of the Village behind them once again made a big move.
The two looked back together and immediately saw the terrifying scene of clan annihilation!
Five giant hands enveloped the sky above the Shimura Clan.
Followed by Chakra spikes like ten thousand arrows firing!
And the shrill screams they could hear even at the Village gate!
"What did Danzo do to make Feng Xu so angry, intending to slaughter the entire Shimura Clan?!"
Kakashi's pupils trembled in shock.
This was not like the Anbu and Root members killed before.
This was a true annihilation, just like the Uchiha Clan!
And this time it was in broad daylight, not a covert operation like the Uchiha Clan's under the cover of night!
Sasuke's pupils also widened in shock, just like Kakashi's.
As if he was reliving that terrifying night.
He clutched the gate with a pale face, continuously retching.
"No, I have to go and see, at least I have to persuade the First Hokage and the others..."
Kakashi, who had completely lost any good feelings for the Shimura and Sarutobi clans.
