It was already late at night when Kakashi and Might Guy finished dinner at Ichiraku Ramen, and I returned home.
Exhausted, Naruto flopped directly onto the bed; he had indeed sparred with Might Guy all day. Might Guy was still in good condition, but Naruto was already feeling drained.
After all, Might Guy was one of Konoha's few Taijutsu Jonin. Even though Naruto had trained for a year and a half, relying on the Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra and his Uzumaki Bloodline Limit, he still couldn't surpass Might Guy in stamina and physical strength. He truly was Konoha's Blue Beast.
He hadn't gone out for fun at night for a month now, mainly because Hiruzen Sarutobi still hadn't given up searching for him. The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan swept back and forth every day like a searchlight, making it impossible for him to find a chance to go out.
However, he felt that he would soon find an opportunity to leave again. Hiruzen Sarutobi was probably close to losing his patience. With eyes that could turn him into a puppet at any moment, if he didn't resolve this soon, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
At that time, Danzo Shimura would definitely coordinate with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Byakugan's monitoring would likely cease. After all, plotting to acquire a Bloodline Limit from a Dojutsu clan was certainly not something to let the Hyuga Clan know about.
After a quick wash, Naruto lay on his bed and immediately entered the Sealed Space.
Kurama, who was bored and twitching, suddenly noticed Naruto's appearance, and a subtle expression flickered in his eyes.
"You brat, it's rare to see you come in this month."
Naruto wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he detected a tsundere tone in Kurama's voice.
"What? Did Kurama miss me?" Naruto teased Kurama with a smile.
"..."
Kurama fell silent instantly, for a long while.
"Brat, you're really annoying."
Naruto laughed. He realized there were quite a few tsundere characters in the Hokage world. "Hahaha, Kurama, just kidding. I really do have something important to talk to you about today."
"Talk to me?" Kurama was a bit confused. "Besides giving you some Chakra, I can't do anything else. Or are you saying that after some Taijutsu training, you want to fight me again?"
Naruto shook his head, raised his hand, and pointed at the seal plastered on the large gate, saying, "I want to tear that thing off."
Kurama fell silent, the calm in his eyes gradually rippling as he stared intently at Naruto.
If Naruto truly opened the seal, as soon as Kurama left, the Jinchuriki, having lost its Tailed Beast, would surely lose his life.
To be honest, Kurama didn't even know why he felt a little touched.
"Brat, you're not joking?"
Naruto still smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I tear that thing off, you won't be able to get out."
"Gah—"
Kurama's expression immediately crumbled. This brat, give him back his moment of emotion.
"Hmph—then what do you want to do?"
Seeing Kurama's expression as if he had swallowed a fly, Naruto kept a straight face, trying not to laugh, lest Kurama ignore him from now on.
"This Eight Trigrams Sealing is actually composed of two Four Symbols Sealing. It is precisely these two seals that can convert the leaked Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra back into my Chakra."
"I can only remove one of them now, because the key to the other seal is in the hands of a very troublesome person."
"Then what's the use of you tearing off this one seal?" Kurama asked.
Naruto shook his head, "Minato Namikaze left his Chakra on me. As soon as I break this seal, he will appear, to prevent me from being swayed by you."
"Fourth Hokage!" A look of hatred flashed in Kurama's eyes.
"So you want to see your father?"
"Not really. I just want the Flying Thunder God and the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique."
Kurama fell silent, his face grim, clearly not wanting to see Minato Namikaze. But then, he suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Hahahaha," Kurama, who had been full of anger and hatred, suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm really looking forward to seeing the Fourth Hokage's reaction when he sees you like this, hahahaha."
"Brat, can you still destroy Konoha now?"
In the Sealed Space, Kurama clearly saw that Naruto was getting along quite harmoniously with those two Konoha Jonin, and he was far less aggressive towards the ignorant villagers than before.
Naruto shook his head.
"Kurama, stepping over an ant without killing it, that power is very difficult to master."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand. Red and blue Chakra surged from his palm, continuously converging and merging, finally forming a dark purple Chakra sphere, like a Tailed Beast Ball.
But this was not the end. A large amount of Yin and Yang Chakra continued to gather, but instead of merging into the Chakra sphere, it continuously revolved and compressed around it, finally forming a Chakra orb with a deep black center and a light purple aura, with rings of light encircling it.
"This, this, this, when did you learn Yin-Yang Release?" Kurama's eyes widened, looking incredulously at the Chakra orb in Naruto's hand, feeling the aura of both Yin and Yang Chakra on it, his voice stuttering.
"Not yet."
Naruto smiled. The Yin-Yang Release Ninjutsu was a secret technique that could create form from nothingness and infuse life into it, something he couldn't do yet.
But simply using Chakra's nature transformation wasn't difficult. The Chakra he extracted from Kurama was Yang-natured, and after awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, his Chakra could also transform into Yin-natured. So, he simply gathered both Yin and Yang-natured Chakra using the Rasengan method, adding some of his own understanding, and created this Ninjutsu.
Using a small Tailed Beast Ball as the explosive fuse, and the surrounding Yin and Yang-natured Chakra as the medium for the explosion, ultimately producing unimaginable destructive power.
The main reason was that the fusion of Yin and Yang Chakra was far more stable than other elemental Chakras, and the destructive power produced was also stronger. Naruto hardly practiced it; he just applied the principles of the Rasengan and Tailed Beast Ball, and it succeeded immediately.
"So, you're going to use this Ninjutsu on Konoha?"
Kurama's eyes widened. He noticed that while Naruto's Ninjutsu didn't look as powerful as his Tailed Beast Ball right now, he felt that this Ninjutsu was far from reaching its limit. More Chakra could be added to it, and if there was enough Chakra, it might even surpass the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Who knows," Naruto smiled indifferently. "Current Konoha is too weak. No matter how much it grows, the result will be the same."
"Bang!"
Naruto clenched his hand, and the Chakra orb was directly crushed, turning into Chakra and re-merging into his body.
"Alright, it's time for us to prepare for the real business." Naruto looked at Kurama.
"When Minato Namikaze appears, I'll trouble you to waste some Chakra to help stabilize his state."
Kurama looked incredulous, "You want me to help the Fourth Hokage?"
"Brat, don't go too far."
"Roar—"
Kurama roared directly at Naruto, extending a claw that stopped right in front of Naruto. This brat actually wanted him to help the enemy who had sealed him!
Naruto could only try to appease Kurama first, otherwise, if Minato Namikaze appeared and instantly vanished, he wouldn't learn anything.
"Alright, Kurama, even if the Fourth Hokage appears now, he's just a Chakra projection. If you don't help stabilize him, he'll probably disappear very quickly."
"In that case, wouldn't you miss out on many interesting expressions from the Fourth Hokage?"
