"Is this...Kurama's chakra?!"
Tailed Beast Chakra, as red as blood and as violent as magma, swept across like a small storm. The air waves it brought made Itachi Uchiha's robes rustle. She had to lower her body slightly to stabilize her somewhat shaky figure.
"Have you gone too far?!" Itachi's face suddenly turned ugly, "No! Satsuki!"
She immediately realized the worst possibility - if Kurama was really violent, Jinchuriki, who had lost his sense, would be a pure weapon of destruction and would not be an enemy to us at all!
At this moment, the unconscious Satsuki fell less than a few meters away from Naruto! With the power of Tailed Beast, even if it is just an unconscious movement, it is enough to easily take the life of Satsuki!
Kurama This guy... speaks the harshest words, but his actions are very honest... He is really not candid.
Naruto's consciousness at this moment was extremely clear. He could feel the big fox turning his head awkwardly in Sealing Space in his mind, "I haven't fully recognized you yet! I only have these chakras now! Do you want love?"
These powers were indeed lent by Kurama voluntarily, or even actively, without the crazy resentment that eroded his sanity.
Although Naruto is not sure whether his body can fully bear the burden of more tails, but... the power of the four tails is enough now!
With a thought, the red Chakra Cloak wrapped around his body immediately changed. A huge red claw made entirely of solid chakra extended from his side. This claw carefully avoided all sharp parts and slowly enveloped the unconscious Satsuki next to it.
Under Nine-Tails Chakra's gentle indoctrination, Satsuki's little face, which had become as pale as paper due to extreme fear, pain and chakra overdraft, reappeared with a healthy blush at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his weak breathing became much smoother and longer.
After ensuring that Satsuki was safe for the time being, the chakra claw still maintained a protective posture, isolating her from possible conflicts with the outside world.
At this time, Naruto and Tailed Beast are also completely completed.
Wrapped in the red chakra like burning blood, the appearance of the blond boy has completely disappeared.
What appeared in front of Itachi Uchiha was a small Tailed Beast that, although not as big as its full body, already had the ferocious outline of Nine-Tails Fox Demon! Four wildly dancing tails made entirely of chakra swayed behind him.
However, what surprised Itachi Uchiha the most was that this small Kurama exuded a monstrous power. In its pair of beast eyes composed entirely of chakra, there was no chaos or madness, but a cold and sober light.
Immediately afterwards, a voice that sounded animalistic, yet extremely clear and calm sounded.
"You are not allowed to come any closer!"
"Buzz——!"
I saw the small Kurama suddenly opening its mouth, and the scarlet chakra permeating the surrounding air seemed to be attracted by a black hole, rushing crazily into its mouth, compressing and condensing!
A crimson energy ball formed at an astonishing speed.
The next moment - "Boom!!!"
An extremely thick torrent of crimson energy composed of Tailed Beast Chakra spurted out from the mouth of Naruto!
The earth was easily torn, melted, and evaporated like fragile paper, and violently attacked Itachi Uchiha ahead with the force of destruction!
"Then, what is that?!"
"Is it an enemy attack?! Where did the attack come from?!"
At this time, in Konoha Village, even the area far away from the center of the explosion was shocked by the sudden terrifying loud noise and the red light rising into the sky in the distance!
Ordinary villagers ran out of their homes in horror, looking into the distance with fear and confusion written on their faces.
The Ninjas who were on patrol or had just finished their mission felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They jumped to high places one after another and looked at the devastating energy fluctuations in disbelief.
Some Ninja who are particularly sensitive to chakra can clearly feel the terrifying pressure coming from the distance, full of violence and destruction, even though they are so far apart, making them feel a tremor and fear involuntarily.
However, in the shadow of a corner of a dark alley, two figures wearing cloaks, incompatible with the surrounding panic atmosphere, were standing quietly.
One of them just turned his head slightly, Fox Mask stared blankly at the place where the astonishing explosion waves and red light beams were coming from in the distance.
As for the figure beside him, although one could see worry and tension in his posture, it was more of concern for his companions than pure fear of that power.
It is Menma and Shisui.
Menma did not just focus on the explosion in the distance like others. At this moment, beside him, ordinary people could not see that the substitute - Golden Experience, was kneeling on one knee and gently pressing his palms on the ground.
The avatar's perception is like countless tiny roots, spreading and exploring Konoha's underground depths infinitely through the soil and rocks.
Originally, Menma planned to go directly to Hokage's office and "ask" for the specific location of Third Hokage Root's stronghold. But just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that he might have a more direct method.
Fruit!
Through Golden Experience's ability to sense the life fluctuations of all things, he clearly captured a large number of abnormally concentrated and intense life fluctuations in a specific area deep underground in Konoha Village!
That kind of fluctuation cannot be caused by insects or moles living underground!
Completely ignoring the panic and shouting crowds on the surrounding streets, Menma and Shisui quickly arrived at an unusually deserted open space located in a remote corner.
This place is far away from the dry valley, surrounded only by tangled shrubs.
Menma Hold your hands quickly in front of you Hand Seals.
"Earth Release·Earth Release: Earth Flow River."
The next moment, the ground in front instantly lost its original shape and let out a dull roar!
The ground squirmed and softened violently like a living thing. The hard soil and rocks dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a turbulent and turbid mudslide that rolled apart on both sides.
In just a few breaths, a huge hole with a diameter of more than five meters and a depth of more than ten meters appeared in front of the two of them.
At the very bottom of the pit, there was no longer wet soil, but a huge, deep and cold metal platform that was clearly man-made and the entrance to the tunnel below.
"This is..."
Shisui stared at the entrance below, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. As a former Anbu, he had always heard about this place, but had never been allowed to actually step into it.
Konoha Where is the deepest shadow.
"We've found it, Konoha has long since become a rotten 'root'." Menma spoke. "An organization whose original idea was to protect Konoha in the dark has long since transformed into someone who satisfies selfish desires and eliminates dissidents' private weapons and cancer."
Before he finished speaking, Menma and Hand Seals changed again, with the unique spatial fluctuations of Summoning Contract.
With a soft sound, his figure jumped into the pit and accurately landed on the metal platform below.
And just as he jumped down——
Nine huge characters emerged - blue, white, vermilion, black, empty, south, north, three, and jade.
Immediately afterwards, Nine-Headed Beasts followed the will of the person, swooping down silently one after another, followed by the figure of Menma, and disappeared into the entrance leading to the "Root" organization base.
Shisui stood on the edge of the pothole, and finally looked back at the distant center of the village where there was still a vague commotion.
Then without any hesitation, his figure jumped down and entered the darkest place that represented Konoha.
