Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 50

"Because you're not an inanimate object!" Naruto said, looking at Kurama.

“You are a living being. The mistakes you made before have been imprisoned within me. This matter is over. Why would I completely seal you off for no reason?” Naruto said matter-of-factly.

"Although you are a bit mischievous, in my opinion, you are definitely not that irrational fox spirit, but a guy who can be a companion."

Living, breathing life! Companions!

Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned; no one had ever treated it like this before.

Others would only see it as a collection of hatred and loathing.

Naruto's words made his heart, which had been dormant for thousands of years, flutter.

"So, Kurama, could you make a little room so that Grandpa Fukasaku and I can practice Sage Mode together?" Naruto asked, clasping his hands together in a pleading gesture.

"You say you need power, then I wonder if you dare to accept my power!" Nine-Tails grinned, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

"What?" Naruto was stunned.

"I want to see what you mean by a unified era, and whether what you mean by hatred fading away over time is really true."

As Kurama spoke, crimson chakra slowly flowed down from its body, heading towards Naruto's location.

However, it stopped not far from Naruto, and without Naruto's permission, its chakra could not flow out of the sealing range.

"Accepting my power might grant you the power you desire, but it could also turn you into my puppet!" The Nine-Tails' voice carried a seductive undertone.

Naruto frowned deeply: "Your power? Have you gone mad from watching TV? Do you really think you're the Nine-Tails Emperor? If you could pacify the ninja world, you wouldn't be sealed inside me."

Nine-Tails froze!

"Woof woof woof...*##￥****￥#%#."

It roared immediately, then automatically shut down.

Naruto rubbed his ears.

"Hmph, you have no idea what the true meaning of Jinchuriki is." Kurama stopped its silencing insults and said coldly.

"Tell me about it." Naruto sat down curiously, listening to Kurama's explanation.

"You understand Jinchuriki as someone who is possessed by a Tailed Beast or its chakra, and who serves as a vessel to seal the Tailed Beast or its chakra, right?" Kurama said slowly.

“Yes, that’s right.” Naruto nodded and said.

"But it's far from that simple; Jinchuriki can even utilize the power of Tailed Beasts!"

"When a Jinchuriki can perfectly utilize the power of a Tailed Beast, the resulting effect is far more than just the sum of the 1+1 of the ninja and the Tailed Beast. This is what makes a Jinchuriki a perfect one!"

Chapter 77 Bearing Negative Emotions

“Simply transforming into a tailed beast is just the most basic operation. In essence, it is still the power of the tailed beast itself. However, the power that a perfect Jinchuriki can use is not just the power of the tailed beast itself. Do you understand what I mean?” Kurama stared at Naruto and said.

“I understand the general idea now. So, according to you, Kurama, you want to become a perfect Jinchūriki with me?” Naruto’s bright blue eyes sparkled as he looked at Kurama, filled with anticipation.

"Hmph, it's not that simple!" Nine-Tails snorted coldly, it would never admit to this.

The nine-tailed fox's ears twitched, and its tail swished behind it. "I've said it before, if you want to accept my power, you might become my puppet, a being filled only with hatred and resentment, devoid of any reason!"

"Why?" Naruto tilted his head, not understanding why accepting the Nine-Tails' power would cause this.

"Hmph, try using your Sage Mode to sense things!" Kurama didn't give a reason, instead letting Naruto sense things for himself.

In Sage Mode, his sensory abilities are greatly enhanced.

Naruto glanced at it suspiciously, then with a thought, his consciousness returned to his body. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb natural energy.

The natural energy outside was much weaker than that of Mount Myoboku, which made it take him much longer.

Of course, this is also related to his unfamiliarity with Sage Mode.

As he becomes more familiar with the game, he will be able to enter Sage Mode faster, even instantly.

After the orange-red eyeshadow around his eyes completely solidified, Naruto re-entered the sealed space.

Looking at the Nine-Tails' enormous body, Naruto took the initiative to sense the Nine-Tails' condition for the first time!

However, this perception startled Naruto so much that he involuntarily took a step back.

Even the Nine-Tails' killing intent couldn't shake him in the slightest, but at this moment he was startled.

In his perception, the Nine-Tails seemed to emanate endless hatred and resentment.

It was like a hell, as if endless vengeful spirits were coming to claim his life.

This is even more terrifying than the killing intent that the Nine-Tails actively releases.

In just a fleeting moment, Naruto felt his joy vanish instantly, replaced by endless depression, resentment, and hatred.

"You, the hatred within you..." Naruto opened his eyes, looking at Kurama with an incredulous expression.

"Hmph, scared, aren't you?" Kurama stared at Naruto, a slow grin spreading across his face, looking like he was about to devour him.

"You're so pitiful!" Naruto suddenly looked at Kurama with teary eyes. "You've been carrying such negative emotions all this time. It's so pitiful. Kurama, you must have had a hard time all these years!"

Kurama was stunned; he had never imagined that Naruto would say such a thing.

My heart, which was filled with hatred and loathing, pounded again. How could anyone care if it was hard for me?

Hmph, this kid.

She's really different from others.

Neither Mito Uzumaki nor Kushina Uzumaki ever cared about it.

Of course, in reality, it won't reveal this emotion.

It immediately roared at Naruto, "Hmph, I am the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the tailed beasts! How could such mere negative emotions possibly affect me!"

"But, any living being would find it unbearable to be enveloped by such a large amount of negative emotions every day," Naruto said weakly after Kurama sprayed him in the face with spittle.

"Hmph, that's something you should be worrying about." Nine-Tails snorted and revealed a malicious smile.

"What does this mean?" Naruto had a bad feeling.

"Heh heh, if you want to become the perfect Jinchūriki, then you must withstand the negative emotional influence of my chakra." Kurama's nine tails swung even faster.

"Only by withstanding the impact of these negative emotions can we merge my strength with yours."

"That's why I said, if you're not careful, you might become my puppet."

"So, if you don't have the guts to try, you can give up."

That's true, but Kurama stared intently at Naruto, wanting to see the hesitation in his eyes.

But no, he didn't see it.

Instead, he saw determination.

That kid!

"If it's about becoming a perfect Jinchuriki alongside Kurama, then I'm willing to bear the same negative emotions as you," Naruto said, pounding his chest with his fist.

He looked at Kurama with unwavering eyes: "After all, we are destined to become comrades together! If I cannot feel the same pain as you, how can I truly understand you, how can I truly merge with your power, and how can we fight side by side?"

Kurama had hoped to see Naruto back down, but was once again shocked by Naruto's words.

It was very unaccustomed to this pure kindness and the determination to share suffering.

"Hmph! So annoying! What's the use of saying all that nice stuff!" At the same time, its tail unconsciously swung even faster.

It paused for a moment, then continued, "...Enough nonsense! Since you have the guts to say such things, then be prepared for the consequences!"

Naruto's expression was resolute. With a thought, he released the seal.

Crimson chakra, like boiling water, surged out from the gap in the sealed space, carrying a bone-chilling cold and a suffocating sense of oppression, and fiercely attacked Naruto's consciousness!

This is no longer the "observation" of the past, but a real invasion and integration.

"Ugh—!"

Naruto let out a muffled groan, his body trembling violently even though he existed as a spiritual entity within the sealed space.

The seemingly endless hatred, anger, despair, and destructive impulses pierced through every inch of his mental perception like millions of cold, poisonous needles.

The Nine-Tails' malice was no longer an aura enveloping its body, but had directly seeped into the depths of his soul.

My vision was instantly replaced by distorted crimson and darkness.

Countless vague and shrill screams and wails exploded in my mind, as if I were in the deepest part of purgatory, being torn and dragged by countless tormented souls.

Happiness, hope, warmth... these emotions upon which humanity depends for survival are as fragile as bubbles in the face of a massive wave of negativity, instantly torn apart, swallowed up, and vanished without a trace.

"Hmph, can you feel it?" Nine-Tails' voice came from within the mental storm, carrying a cruel scrutiny. "This is the true power of mine! It will devour your will, obliterate your emotions, and finally... drag you into an abyss of eternal hatred! Give up, brat! You cannot withstand it!"

Naruto's orange-red Sage Eyeshadow flickered erratically under the intense mental shock, like a candle flickering in the wind.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, his teeth grinding together as he struggled against the pervasive pollution.

The immense pain rendered him almost incapable of thinking. Countless evil thoughts whispered in his ears, tempting him to give up resistance, to succumb to them, and to transform this power into hatred for everything, to seek revenge, to destroy.

Chapter 78 As expected, destruction is the only option.

He recalled the looks of disgust and rejection he had received from the villagers of Konoha, the cold scorn and mockery.

He had initially been indifferent to everything, but now a strong sense of grievance and anger suddenly arose under the catalysis of negative emotions, almost overwhelming his remaining rationality!

The thought of destroying everything grew wildly.

"Destroy them. I can't ignore them after all. I'm just suppressing these emotions in my heart." Naruto's eyes had lost their light.

Inside the sealed space, half of Naruto's body was completely covered by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

No, it's not just about sealing off the space; it's even affecting the outside world.

The Nine-Tails' violent chakra aura instantly woke Sasuke in the next room.

Xiangling was already trembling on the bed.

"What kind of evil chakra is this!"

She had never felt such a powerful malice before. Because her perception was so strong, she could even feel the malice coming towards her through her senses.

She couldn't withstand this malice; if she were to be attacked by it, she would go insane instantly.

She promptly knocked herself unconscious.

"Naruto!" Sasuke quickly opened Naruto's door and was shocked to see Naruto's condition.

"What's going on? How could the Nine-Tails suddenly invade Naruto's heart?"

"Shadow Clone!" Sasuke immediately created a shadow clone to inform Hinata.

"This chakra, this aura of hatred, Naruto's seal, what exactly happened?"

Sasuke was very anxious; his heart was pounding. If something happened to Naruto, he would really go crazy.

“Sharingan!” He lifted Naruto’s clothes. “As expected, the seal has already surfaced.”

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, unleashing its power to the limit as he entered the sealed space.

What was once a grassland with blue skies and white clouds has now changed completely.

On one side, there was still a clear blue sky and white clouds, while on the other side, there was a scorched earth with various dark red streams flowing through the gaps.

"Is this Naruto's sealing space?"

Sasuke was shocked, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. His gaze swept across the room and he soon spotted Naruto and Kurama.

He quickly arrived at Naruto's side. Seeing his condition, Sasuke gritted his teeth and stared sharply at Kurama: "What did you do to Naruto?"

“Those ominous eyes...you're Uchiha Sasuke!” Kurama said, grinning as it looked into Sasuke's eyes.

Because Naruto loosened its seal considerably, Kurama was able to sense things in the outside world, including Sasuke.

"Answer me!" Sasuke roared, glaring at Kurama, his Sharingan eyes almost forming a circle.

"What on earth happened to Naruto?!" He had no time to waste arguing with Kurama.

"As you can see, he is being invaded by my chakra," Kurama said calmly.

"Damn it, why? With Naruto's strength, he shouldn't need to do this at all!" Sasuke really wanted to unleash a Kirin attack on Kurama.

However, this is Naruto's sealed space, and he is merely a consciousness, unable to use chakra at all.
