Chapter 588

Kankuro's raiding squad discovered the reconnaissance squad that had been wiped out.

They are currently engaged in battle with Deidara, Sasori, and others.

A major battle is imminent.

We must... stop the freaks.

"Can't!"

Ai slammed his fist on the table, immediately denying the matter.

"If you fall into Madara's hands..."

Sensing A's imposing aura, Naruto immediately entered Golden Body Mode.

"Such powerful Chakra!"

Ōnoki, Mei Terumi, Gaara were all startled.

"Brother, let us go and help! I promise we'll both be fine!" Killer B reassured him from the side.

Ai's face was full of anger. "Stop talking nonsense! This is a war to protect you. If you are captured by the enemy..."

"The world is going to end? Iruka- sensei has already told me."

Naruto said loudly and seriously.

"I can't just stand by and watch everyone get defeated! Even if we win this war, it's meaningless if everyone dies in the end... I don't want things to turn out that way!"

60,000 Allied Shinobi Forces vs. 100,000 White Zetsu.

From any perspective, our side is at a disadvantage.

"But it's still much better than the end of the world!"

Ai also raised his voice.

"That's what everyone thinks, which is why they're willing to sacrifice their lives to protect you!"

The two started arguing.

Ai entered speed mode and instantly moved in front of Naruto.

They intend to let their fists do the talking.

"!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly retreated.

But Ai followed him like a shadow.

And he threw a punch, hitting the arm that was raised to block.

Bang!!

With a loud bang, Naruto Uzumaki sent flying backward. "So fast...! It can actually keep up with my speed in this mode! And the power of its punches is incredible, if I had been hit directly, I would have been finished...!"

After traveling some distance, Naruto Uzumaki stopped and immediately shouted, "Tsunade, you understand what I'm thinking! I will stop this war!"

"..."

Tsunade remained silent.

Gaara, Ōnoki, Mei Terumi are also observing the situation.

On the surface, he remained calm and composed.

They were surprised that Naruto could keep up with the Raikage's speed.

"Since the Amegakure Emperor, I haven't seen such a fast ninja... However, your speed is still far inferior to his..."

Ai said.

"Your father, Minato Namikaze, died in the Nine-Tails' Attack, proving he failed to deal with Nine-Tails. And you... as his son, haven't learned a single lesson!"

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki lowered his head.

He thought of his father's death and his mother's abduction.

Ai's words went straight to the heart of the matter.

Minato Namikaze died while facing the Emperor.

So, he, as the son, will ultimately be killed by the emperor as well!

"I will never allow... you to talk about my parents like that!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head and glared fiercely at A.

"The Fourth Hokage did not fail!"

"Stubborn to the end! Then I'll have no choice but to kill you on the spot... I'll use the death of the Nine-Tails as a delaying tactic to prevent the enemy's plans from succeeding!"

Ai raised his fist.

Naruto Uzumaki forms hand seals to create Shadow Clone.

Boom!!!

At the critical moment.

Killer B ran over and blocked Ai's path.

He blocked Ai's full-force attack with his bare hands.

At this moment, Ai was still angry and did not notice this.

Long ago.

When his younger brother, Killer B, surpassed him...

"Brother, since that's the case, it wouldn't be so bad if I, the Eight-Tails, died! It would still thwart the enemy's plans! So that Naruto can go to the battlefield, I've decided to risk my life!"

"Uncle Bi..." Naruto looked at the figure blocking his way in surprise.

"Bi, why are you helping Naruto Uzumaki?!" Ai asked, puzzled.

"Brother, even if you use your fists to touch the other person now, you still won't be able to understand what I'm thinking?"

Killer B's words startled Ai.

Then, she fell into memories.

Killer B is a younger brother who is not related by blood.

I thought the AB combination selection would fail.

But in the end... Killer B emerged victorious.

These two sworn brothers grew up together.

Get stronger slowly.

Even the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, praised him highly.

Then came Blue B's funeral.

Killer B appeared on the scene in a unique manner.

He gradually gained fame at a young age.

They became the renowned AB duo in the ninja world.

At that time... Killer B was not even 10 years old.

Soon, the Eight-Tails was transplanted into Killer B's body.

Time flies... In the blink of an eye, I turned 15.

It was also Killer B and A, the brothers, who faced Minato Namikaze for the first time.

Killer B saved A while forcing Minato Namikaze to retreat.

This prevented Minato Namikaze from having the courage to stab him in return.

Actually, at that time, Killer B's strength had already begun to surpass that of A.

Later, at the ages of 15, 16, 17... Killer B and Minato Namikaze fought many times, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Ai, however, was unaware of what Minato Namikaze had said at the time.

What is the most important thing for Jinchūriki?

That is... the sun in my heart.

After the Third Raikage died, A imprisoned Killer B and Thunder Gorge, which was another incomprehensible step.

"Both I and Naruto know very well that we will not fail!"

Killer B and Aya simultaneously wielded their Thunder Cleavers, and the two began their duel.

Killer B didn't even use the Tailed Beast Cloak.

Using only the normal state, it surpasses Ai.

This shocked A greatly, and at the same time made him understand what Blue B, Minato Namikaze and others meant by "the important thing"—the sun in the heart of the Jinchūriki.

At that moment, Ai understood what was truly important.

For Jinchūriki, it is the sun in their heart.

For "Sun," it means... believing in the power of Jinchūriki!

Killer B: "Everyone has a sun in their heart. My sun is my older brother! But Naruto has... two suns in his heart!"

"It's Dad and Mom!"

Naruto clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.

"Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina? They should be dead by now..." A frowned.

"My father left the Nine-Tails and Sealing Jutsu in my heart, and my mother helped me, which is how I obtained the power of the Nine-Tails..."

Naruto looked at his hands.

Then, he looked up and dropped a bombshell on everyone.

"And... my mother... is not dead!"

Everyone: "!"

504. The Slug Sage and Konan's Fall

The distant Amegakure.

Buzz.

Tinnitus.

All sound faded away, and my consciousness went blank.

I don't know how long it lasted...

When Konan recovered.

Whoa!

The sound of rain reached my ears.

The rain continued to fall in Amegakure, and all the sights and sounds of reality returned.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of Dark Taijutsu still echoed.

They fought continuously for two days and two nights.

Konan's consciousness was already fading.

I forced myself to cheer up.

Emperor Amegakure seemed tireless, continuously unleashing his Dark Taijutsu.

"The level of Dark Chakra... has increased too much... it's... enough..."
