Hagoromo: Fourth Hokage, You Certainly Went All Out
"You 'Yong Dai Mei you!"
The Nine-Tails roared furiously at Minato Namikaze, but its gaze met Minato Namikaze's cold eyes.
It took me a while to calm down.
Slowly, he began to release his own Chakra, gradually enveloping the fragmented Asura Chakra.
This is pure Chakra; after all, if it contained violence and malice, it would be repelled.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze did not hesitate any longer and began to guide Yang Release Chakra to repair Naruto's meridians.
On one side, Asura's Chakra was being slowly guided.
This fixes it to the Eight Gates inside Naruto's body, forming stable Chakra nodes.
As the final node is reached, the Gate of Death of the Eight Gates is located at the heart.
The usually mild Asura Chakra finally started to stir.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze called out to Nine-Tails, "Kurama, thank you for your help."
"Laugh--"
Nine-Tails pouted in dissatisfaction, but still obediently used its own Chakra to intensify the envelopment of Asura's Chakra.
With the Nine-Tails' help to calm it down, Asura's Chakra gradually subsided.
Minato Namikaze then formed hand seals again, guiding the Yang Release and the Nine-Tails' Chakra to unleash a Sealing Jutsu technique.
"Yang Release. Evil Sealing Method!"
The final strand of Asura Chakra was permanently anchored in Naruto's heart by the Evil Sealing Method.
With Minato Namikaze's success, Hagoromo outside also saw a mark of Tsunade's Yin Seal appearing on Naruto's heart.
Then, a mask resembling Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode appeared on Naruto's face, which disappeared the next second.
"Fourth, your ambition is truly remarkable."
Even Hagoromo couldn't help but marvel at Minato Namikaze's audacity.
Because what Minato Namikaze did was not to fuse Asura's Chakra with Naruto's Chakra.
After all, to put it bluntly, if the two are combined, will Naruto still be the same Naruto?
Minato Namikaze's method was to use a high-level, complex Sealing Jutsu to bring Asura's Chakra to the surface from its hidden state.
He then used a technique to guide and anchor the chakra at the Eight Gates points within Naruto's body, establishing a controllable 'Chakra circuit'.
Simply put, if Naruto gains that strength later on, he will be able to directly rely on Minato Namikaze's techniques.
He directly combined Asura's Chakra with it to activate Sage Mode similar to Hashirama Senju's.
Of course, this is on the premise that Naruto is strong enough to withstand Asura's Chakra erosion and turn it into his own.
Otherwise, this technique would forever remain within Naruto's body.
Moreover, there is absolutely no possibility of it loosening.
Asura's Chakra had already been divided into eight parts by Minato Namikaze, so there was no way to break through the Sealing Jutsu technique.
After all, this is another version of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, just like the seal on the Nine-Tails Fox.
As long as Naruto's Chakra exists, it will continue to strengthen.
Inside the Sealing Space, Nine-Tails lay down again, looking at Minato Namikaze before her and slowly saying, "Yong Dai Mei, you're still as bold as ever."
As she spoke, Nine-Tails glanced at Naruto.
What kind of magic does this brat possess that makes Minato Namikaze so confident in his ability to perfectly utilize his Chakra?
And Asura's Chakra will.
Anyone in this situation could easily be corrupted without realizing it.
Minato Namikaze chuckled softly; Nine-Tails's help made him feel much lighter.
Whether it's due to coercion or some other reason, having a first attempt is the dawn of success.
"Dad, why do you look like this again?"
Naruto had just woken up when he saw Minato Namikaze, just like last time, his entire figure almost becoming ethereal.
"I'll infuse you with Chakra right now."
As Naruto was about to form hand seals, he was stopped by Minato Namikaze.
"Naruto, no need! I can already draw upon your Chakra, and I have a huge amount of Yang Release Chakra readily available."
Minato Namikaze spoke, he pointed to the urn that had just contained Asura Chakra.
With the formation of the urn and the fact that it had just contained Asura's Chakra, these things are now considered ownerless.
"Kurama, I'll be leaving Naruto in your care for the next while."
After finishing his Minato Namikaze bowed to Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and led Naruto out of the enormous space.
Nine-Tails did not respond, but simply stared intently at Minato Namikaze's receding figure.
"Is the spiritual imprint on the Chakra about to dissipate?"
Nine-Tails shook his head, realizing he was being silly; why was he even concerned about this?
"I hope your son can handle your disappearance when the time comes, Yong Dai Mei!"
Having experienced companionship and then having them disappear again is something most people can't bear.
After saying that, the Nine-Tails lay down again and closed its eyes.
As Minato Namikaze walked through the sewer-like tunnel, he listened to Naruto recount recent events while chuckling and patting Naruto's head repeatedly.
"Dad, you have no idea how upset that arrogant Sasuke was when I got first place."
"Heh, it seems Naruto has gained another companion."
Minato Namikaze crouched down and looked at Naruto gently, speaking softly.
"How could that be? That arrogant Sasuke isn't like that at all." Naruto pouted in dissatisfaction.
His words, however, lacked any strength or force.
"Okay, but Naruto, Dad might have to stay in that urn for a while."
Minato Namikaze didn't refute Naruto's words, but merely took the opportunity to say something.
"Dad, you're very weak right now. If you need to recover, go inside quickly."
Naruto's eyes were slightly red, and he spoke dryly.
"Okay, with your teacher taking care of things outside, I can feel a little more at ease."
Minato Namikaze chuckled, patted Naruto's head again, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Naruto, I won't be able to stay with you from now on."
"Pshaw, there'll be plenty of time later."
Naruto pouted, showing no sign of displeasure.
"Yes, there's plenty of time later, Naruto. Keep this in your hand; you can give it to your teacher when we get out."
As Minato Namikaze spoke, he placed an object resembling Tomoe into Naruto's hand.
"This is a key. Once your teacher gets it, they'll know when it can be used."
"Okay."
Naruto reached out and took it, examining the item in his hand.
"Alright, then we'll see you next time, Naruto."
After saying that, Minato Namikaze stood up and shoved Naruto.
--
"Phew--, that old bastard, he just kicked me out like that."
Naruto rubbed his head and complained, clearly dissatisfied.
"Naruto, is everything done?"
Hagoromo, who had been waiting for a while, finally spoke up.
"Yes, teacher!"
Naruto stood up and replied, then looked down at his palm as if he had thought of something.
Sure enough, a jet-black, Tomoe- shaped object was in his palm.
"Teacher, my dad asked me to give this to you," Naruto said, handing the item to Hagoromo.
Hagoromo reached out and took it, feeling the aura emanating from it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of you, Fourth, you always have a backup plan."
