A Conversation in the Nine-Tails' Space

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Sasuke stood in the center of the field, the lightning that had enveloped his body gradually receding. He looked around and saw Naruto lying on the ground, paralyzed by the lightning and unable to move.

"Cough cough!"

Kakashi coughed lightly, leaned against a tree, and slowly stood up, looking at Sasuke with a serious expression.

The range of this Ninjutsu...

As the inventor of Chidori, Kakashi is very familiar with this Ninjutsu. The qualitative change in lightning style requires a large amount of Chakra to achieve; three years ago, Sasuke could only release Chidori three times.

Releasing Chidori from the entire body for defense and counterattack requires not only extremely strong control but also an enormous amount of Chakra.

"Sasuke..."

Kakashi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Are you praising Sasuke's strength?

"You have committed heinous crimes, and I will stop you here today no matter what!" Kakashi's tone was extremely serious.

Sasuke tilted his head and sneered, "You think you can do what you've got, you half-baked guy who stole the power of the Uchiha clan?"

In the short time it took to speak, Kakashi's body had recovered.

Using the Lightning Cutter for a thrusting attack requires activating Lightning chakra cells to increase speed. Kakashi has extremely high resistance to lightning, and this level of lightning strike was not enough to paralyze him.

Kakashi grasped Sasuke's wrist with his right hand, leaned down, and looked up at Sasuke.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Blue lightning gathered in Kakashi's left hand, and it seemed to be turning purple.

"Hmm..."

Naruto had fallen to the side, struggled to get up. He absolutely did not want to see Sasuke and Kakashi kill each other, as they were his most cherished companions.

However, his paralyzed body made it impossible for Naruto to move no matter what.

Naruto felt heartbroken thinking about what Sasuke had said earlier.

Did Sasuke really want to kill himself? Just for that Mangekyō Sharingan?

"Naruto!"

Kakashi frowned and looked at Naruto with concern.

"Well..."

Naruto's hands trembled as he supported himself on the ground. His eyes had turned into red vertical pupils, the stubble on his face had deepened, and his fingernails had become sharp.

"Hehe..."

"Naruto, this is a great opportunity!"

The Nine-Tails' voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

"Haven't you always wanted to use my power?"

"Let him see... the power of you and me!"

"What's wrong? What are you hesitating about?"

"You need my power, don't you? Come..."

In the sewer space where the Nine-Tails was sealed, Naruto stood alone in front of the iron gate. The Nine-Tails 'Chakra was already spreading out, only a meter away from Naruto.

Nine-Tails excitedly shouted, "Who do you want to kill?"

Naruto paused for a moment, then looked up at Nine-Tails and said in a deep voice, "All along... I have indeed wanted to use your power, but that was to protect my comrades, not to kill my friends!"

"Stop tempting me!"

Nine-Tails completely disregarded Naruto's attitude and continued to tempt him, "Hehe! Who is it that always makes me contribute my strength whenever we're in danger?"

"You should understand that you can't do anything on your own!"

Do you want to save your friend?

"Only by using my power can you do what you want to do!"

"Unseal completely!"

"In this way, I can give you all my strength!"

Naruto said in a deep voice, "The person who asks you to contribute your strength when we're in danger is Hinata... I've always wanted to be your friend and fight alongside you!"

Nine-Tails: "..."

Naruto continued, "If you could change your attitude a little, I think I'd like to have a proper talk with you!"

Over the years, Naruto has also learned some ways to get along with Nine-Tails from Jiraiya.

Hinata had told Jiraiya a long time ago that her way of getting along with Nine-Tails was to become friends.

Unfortunately, as of now, Naruto and Nine-Tails are still in a stage of mutual distrust.

A figure appeared out of thin air...

Sasuke appeared silently beside Naruto Sasuke was extremely shocked to see the Nine-Tails' true form for the first time.

Sasuke is no longer the naive character he Original Story; he knows what the Nine-Tails means.

When the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts is combined, it is enough to transcend this world and surpass all ninjas.

However, while the power of the Tailed Beasts is immense, Tailed Beasts essence is actually energy itself, while the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan represents the rules governing power.

Both powers are inherited from the God Tree, but the Mangekyo, as a rule for controlling power, can suppress the Tailed Beasts.

Naruto turned to look at Sasuke, asking curiously, "How could you...?"

Sasuke ignored Naruto and looked at Nine-Tails, saying, "I can see it now. Is this Nine-Tails's power?"

Nine-Tails looked at Sasuke with equal shock.

In terms of insight, the Byakugan undoubtedly surpasses the Sharingan, and Sasuke was able to see the Tailed Beasts sealed inside Naruto even with only Three Tomoe. This kind of Dojutsu power is not something that ordinary Uchiha clan members can possess.

Nine-Tails looked at Sasuke and said in a deep voice, "The power of those eyes, and the Chakra that's even more evil than mine... just like Madara Uchiha in the past..."

Sasuke twitched his fingers slightly and easily crushed the Chakra that was escaping from the Nine-Tails.

"I don't know that guy at all!"

That being said, Sasuke has already learned from his Future Sasuke that he is the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, and that Madara Uchiha was the previous reincarnation of Indra.

It was this Chakra that gave Sasuke Dojutsu power far exceeding that of other members of his clan.

The Nine-Tails clearly noticed something amiss as well.

"I never imagined you could suppress my power..."

"This may be the last time I have to speak to you, but... I have a piece of advice for you!"

"Whatever you do, don't kill Naruto... or you'll regret it!"

Hearing Nine-Tails's words, Naruto chuckled and looked at Sasuke: See? I also have a powerful backer!

Sasuke casually tilted his head.

He never intended to kill Naruto; he was just trying to scare him.

Meeting Naruto once to catch up is enough, but being constantly chased around by Naruto is really annoying!

Upon exiting the Sealed Space, from the outside perspective, Sasuke and Naruto merely exchanged a fleeting glance.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, who couldn't get up, then turned to Kakashi and said calmly, "Kakashi! I'd love to play with you a little longer, but..."

Sasuke shifted his gaze slightly to the distance and said coldly, "However, I already have a new target!"

In the distance, a winged figure carrying another person flew rapidly from the sky, arriving at Sasuke and the others' location in a short time.

"What is gay!"

"Naloo!"

Hinata shouted twice in a cheer, and descended from the sky with Yamato.
