38: Chapter 38: Intending to break the seal"Hey, Kurama, I have a question for you?" Naruto asked, leaning against the sealing pillar with his back to Kurama.
By completely entrusting his back to Kurama, Naruto demonstrated his trust in Kurama at that moment.
Kurama didn't do anything underhanded just because Naruto had his back to him.
One reason is that the seal has been reinforced, making it more difficult for Kurama's power to penetrate through the seal and have a greater impact on Naruto's body.
On one hand, Kurama has come to regard Naruto as his friend after spending time with him these past few days, even though he hasn't said it.
After all, she had always been sealed inside someone else's body.Both Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki were boring people who had certain ulterior motives towards her.
He's at most a decent person, but he can't be considered a friend of Nine Lamas at all.
Only someone like Naruto would come in and chat with me whenever he had nothing to do, without any ulterior motives.Sincerity is often the most touching quality, and the same applies to tailed beasts.
Kurama, who was also lying on the ground, didn't even open its eyes when it heard Naruto's words, and said, "Ask away, Naruto!"
"If, I mean if, I could break your seal, what would you do?" Naruto had unknowingly turned around and was sitting cross-legged looking at Kurama.
He looked completely sincere.
Kurama was also somewhat shocked by Naruto's words.He suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Naruto in front of him, and said, "Naruto, are you willing to give me my freedom?But without me, you might die!"
Kurama's first thought wasn't what he would do after being free; instead, he was worried about Naruto's safety.
Naruto felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Kurama's words, and then smiled and said, "No, I meant to release you from your seal, not to let you go out.I just want you to be a little freer than you are now!"
Naruto was testing Kurama's attitude.After all these days of effort, he knew that Kurama was not inherently bad, nor was he a tailed beast that only knew how to destroy.He just hadn't met the right person to guide him.
After hearing Naruto's explanation, Kurama fell into deep thought.
What does breaking the seal mean?It couldn't be clearer: it means that if it wanted, it could mix hatred into Naruto's chakra when borrowing it, causing Naruto to lose control.Once Naruto was out of control, it could completely take over Naruto's body.
The most fatal scenario is that if I kill Naruto, Naruto will almost certainly die without me.But since I am a tailed beast, even if Naruto dies.
His chakra will not disappear.After a period of time, he will be able to reassemble his body and regain his freedom.
All these risks and the initiative are in Kurama's hands.Is Naruto really willing to take such a big risk to break the seal?
"Nine Lama, what is your answer?"
Naruto asked Kurama with a serious expression.
The answer from the Nine Lamas will influence his subsequent attitude towards the Nine Lamas.Should he continue to persuade him and empathize with the Nine Lamas, or should he temporarily ignore the Nine Lamas and let him think things through?
Kurama's brain raced.It had never felt its brain so inadequate.It didn't know why Naruto asked that question.All it knew was that it didn't want to hurt Naruto, but at the same time, after being restricted for so long, Kurama hadn't felt the feeling of freedom in a long time.
"Maybe you'll let me go out for a stroll.You know, after you broke the seal, you can transform into a tailed beast.I can also take this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air.After I'm done out, I'll probably come back obediently."
"Nine Lamas said with a hint of helplessness."
"Oh?You're coming back?I thought you'd just control my body and run away?" Naruto was pleased with Kurama's satisfaction and joked with him with a smile.
"Come on, Naruto.You know that although I crave freedom, if I actually got it, I would feel lost.After all, I would have no goals.And you are my friend.Without me, you would really die.For your sake, I have no choice but to stay in your body."
Kurama first responded to Naruto's joking remark, then his tone became extremely serious.
Naruto was also stunned for a moment.It was the first time that Kurama had admitted that he was its friend.
Naruto's smile widened, and he said to Kurama, "Then it's settled, Kurama.We're friends, so we must help each other!"
Kurama said irritably, "Although we are friends, I seriously suspect that you are after my chakra and my power.My friend, your intentions are not pure!"
After Naruto's inner thoughts were discovered, he wasn't embarrassed and said, "We're all friends, it was just a small thing, don't worry about it, Kurama!"
Indeed, if the negative influence of the Nine Lamas can be eliminated, all that remains of the Nine Lamas is a tremendous improvement.
After the seal is broken, Naruto's chakra will increase significantly, and he can also enjoy chakra replenishment from Kurama during battle.Throwing out a dozen or so S-rank ninjutsu is not a problem.
With Kurama's help, Naruto's speed and strength will be greatly enhanced.The tailed beast cloak alone will bring Naruto a huge boost.
Kurama's chakra will also greatly enhance Naruto's recovery ability.With the help of Kurama's chakra and Naruto's current bloodline, he has gone from having built-in healing abilities to having a portable fountain of healing!
Besides these benefits, the most important thing is.
After the seal is broken, Naruto can fully connect with Kurama and attempt to enter Kurama's body.Pattern morphology!
With Naruto's strength at that time, he could overthrow the entire Hidden Leaf Village without breaking a sweat!
Of course, all of this is based on Kurama's willingness to help Naruto.
"So, are you ready, Kurama?" Naruto asked Kurama.
"Prepare what?Naruto, could it be?No, you're really going to do this!You're going to break the seal today?" Kurama was stunned at first, then asked with an incredulous look on his face.
It originally thought Naruto was just saying it to see how it would react, and it did indeed speak from the bottom of its heart.
Having Naruto as a friend made it very happy, and staying here wouldn't be as painful as before.
Unexpectedly, after hearing its answer, Naruto actually decided to break the seal today.
Naruto stood up and said, "Kurama, you said we're friends, and friends should trust each other.I believe you, Kurama!"
To Kurama's astonishment, the water column beneath Naruto's feet slowly rose under Naruto's will, steadily lifting him to a high place, where he arrived in front of the giant seal character.
Naruto placed his hand on the seal, preparing to break it.
But if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen soon, because Minato Namikaze has a backup plan!
At that moment, a strange light emanated from the seal.Naruto knew that this must be the chakra left behind by his father, Minato Namikaze.
Soon we will meet Minato Namikaze, the ninja Naruto loved most in his past life.
No way, buddy!Stagnant water can be gloomy, can it?
In the original work, he is arguably the fastest, coolest, and most skilled ninja!
"Naruto, now is not the time to break the seal, is it?"
Minato's chakra slowly transformed into a human form and spoke to Naruto.
He has blond hair, just like Naruto.
He's handsome, a bit more handsome than Naruto, but slightly less so than the audience.
The handsome man wearing the Hokage's robes, with the words "Fourth Hokage" on his back, is so eye-catching that it's hard to look away.
Minato grabbed Naruto's hand, stopping him from doing that.
Kurama only acknowledges Naruto.As for Minato Namikaze, he was the culprit who sealed him away, so how could Kurama possibly give him a friendly look?
"You despicable Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, I'm going to kill you!"
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.
Minato Namikaze was somewhat helpless when he saw Kurama's appearance.Looking at Naruto's current figure, he seemed to be only six or seven years old, much younger than Minato Namikaze had expected.
Looking at Naruto's age and Kurama's insane behavior, Minato Namikaze immediately deduced that Kurama must have lured Naruto here and was trying to trick him into breaking the seal while Naruto's will was not strong.What a despicable Kurama!
"Kyuu-Tails, with me here, don't even think about harming my son!" Minato Namikaze stood in front of Naruto, protecting him behind him, and said to Kurama.
Naruto then realized that his father seemed to have misunderstood the situation; it was all a misunderstanding.
"Um, Dad, it's actually a misunderstanding," Naruto said to Minato Namikaze.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Minato Namikaze turned around in surprise and said, "Naruto, you actually know me?Did the Third Hokage tell you everything?"
"He must have taken good care of you.It's no wonder that Kushina and I risked our lives to protect Konoha."
Minato had rehearsed the scene of meeting his son countless times in his mind.
For example, if you ask him who he is, he can answer in a cool way, "I am the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and also your biological father."
For example, if you ask him why he sealed the Nine-Tails inside him, he can answer, "Because you are my child, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and we believe you can subdue the Nine-Tails and obtain its power."
However, the result was that when Minato Namikaze woke up with his chakra senses, the world had changed.
"Of course I know you!You are the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and also my father!"
"As for the third generation you mentioned, that's not true at all.That old bastard wasn't that kind.I learned all of this myself, and Kurama also helped me a bit."
Naruto couldn't very well say that he knew all the history of the ninja world, so he could only gloss over it and use Kurama as a shield.
"Kurama?Whose name is that?It feels both familiar and unfamiliar.Have I met it somewhere before?" Minato asked in confusion.
"Of course, Fourth Hokage, that's my name, but I won't allow you to call me that.I only allow Naruto to call me that!" Kurama said irritably to Minato Namikaze's chakra.
"What?This is actually your name, Nine-Tails!But Nine-Tails, no matter how you try to seduce Naruto, Naruto is my son, Minato Namikaze.With me here, you can forget about breaking the seal and letting him release you to wreak havoc on Konoha!"
Upon hearing Kurama's words, Minato shielded Naruto behind him and adopted a confrontational stance.
