Naruto shook his head. "I don't believe that anyone can come back from the future."
"If someone really goes back to the past from the future, it will violate the time paradox. It is impossible for two identical people to exist on the same timeline at the same time, unless he belongs to a timeline that has been annihilated."
"But if that's the case, his existence itself means that that future no longer exists, and the information he brought back has lost its reference value."
"So I am more willing to believe in parallel time and space than Time Reversal."
"I just saw the future in another parallel time and space."
"In that future, we faced countless enemies together and became close partners."
"But when facing Ōtsutsuki Clan, even if you and I activate Baryon Mode, we can only perish together with the enemy."
Nine-Tails's pupils shrank.
"Baryon Mode!"
The moment this name came out of Naruto's mouth, the last doubt in Nine-Tails's heart disappeared.
Baryon Mode is the ultimate trump card hidden deep in Nine-Tails's heart. It is a core Fusion mode that consumes its own vitality in exchange for ultimate power.
Once this mode is turned on, its Chakra will have a nuclear Fusion reaction with Naruto's Chakra at the microscopic level, producing a terrifying power that far exceeds the simple sum of Tailed Beast and human Chakra, but the price is to burn its life.
After Baryon Mode ends, you will die and wait for resurrection.
No one has ever known this pattern, because no Jinchuriki has ever made Nine-Tails think it was worth handing over this secret.
Mito Uzumaki doesn't know, Kushina doesn't know, Shukaku and Matatabi don't know either.
But Naruto not only knew the name, but also told the price of his own life.
"It seems that the enemies we face in the future are indeed ridiculously strong."
"To think that even this kind of death-defying move was forced out."
Nine-Tails took a long breath, then rested his chin on the folded front paws again, and his tail slowly swept the grass behind him.
"So what are you going to do?"
Naruto Hearing this, he put his hands behind his head, lay down on the grass, looked at the slowly moving clouds in the sky, and said calmly.
"While becoming stronger, unify Shinobi World, and then gather the power of the entire Shinobi World to fight against the Ōtsutsuki Clan together."
Nine-Tails narrowed his eyes. "Unify Shinobi World?"
"So you plan to use that Mangekyō Sharingan named Kotoamatsukami to directly rewrite the will of those shadows and daimyo?"
"Well, I don't have time to play ninja games slowly with them."
"Those big names continue to provoke wars for their own interests, causing countless ordinary people and low-level ninjas to die in vain."
"If a unity of will without sacrifice can be used to get the entire Shinobi World to stop the war, and to fight against Ōtsutsuki without having my and your bodies burned as firewood like in that future, then I will use it without hesitation."
"Unification is only the first step. Reform will be needed after unification."
"Reform?"
Nine-Tails's ears turned.
"Yes, reform."
"After unifying Shinobi World, Shinobi World needs a completely new system."
"In this system, Genin, everyone will be equal. No one will be treated as a tool or monster because of which country they were born in or what kind of blood they have."
"Everyone's beliefs will be unified. Shinobi World will be a prosperous, democratic, civilized, and harmonious Shinobi World. The society will be a society of freedom, equality, justice, and rule of law. Everyone living on this land, whether they are ninjas or civilians, can be patriotic, dedicated, honest, and friendly."
"By that time, even Tailed Beast can coexist peacefully with humans, and no one will treat you as a mobile Chakra reserve."
"You can freely choose where you live, and whether you want to be friends with humans, instead of being driven away by a seal and treated as a natural disaster."
Nine-Tails listened quietly to Naruto's words.
Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness.
He has never heard these words in more than a thousand years of life.
It is also not sure how these words can be transformed from slogans into real rules after integrating all countries into one political entity.
But it understood one sentence, Tailed Beast lives in peace with others.
Tailed Beast can choose where he lives, whether he wants to be friends with humans, and will not be driven away by seals or treated as natural disasters.
Nine-Tails has lived for thousands of years and has never heard such words.
It remembered its humiliation when it was forcibly enslaved by Madara Uchiha using Mangekyō Sharingan, its anger when Hashirama Senju sealed it into Mito Uzumaki's body, and its decades of imprisonment in the bodies of one Jinchuriki after another.
No one has ever asked it: Nine-Tails, are you willing to be friends with humans?
Naruto is the first.
"I hope you can realize this Shinobi World soon."
Nine-Tails was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke. After speaking, he paused for a while, and then spoke again as if he had made some important decision in his heart.
"Naruto, do you miss Tailed Beast Transformation?"
Naruto was stunned, and he knew what Tailed Beast Transformation meant, which meant that his Chakra and Nine-Tails were completely Fusion one.
"If so, then Kurama will be in trouble."
Naruto stood up from the grass, turned around and smiled slightly at Nine-Tails.
outside world
Naruto, who was sitting in Waterfall Cave, slowly opened his eyes.
He briefly sensed the surrounding environment and found that Perception Isolation Barrier was operating perfectly, and there was no abnormal Chakra signal in the direction of Konoha.
Naruto closes his eyes and activates Flying Raijin Technique with a thought.
The next moment his figure disappeared into the cave.
When he appeared again, he had arrived on an uninhabited island.
This island is made of volcanic rocks and is surrounded by various strange-shaped reefs.
The waves crashed against the rocks, making a low roar, and the salty sea breeze blew over from the sea, making his white windbreaker rustle.
Naruto's eyes fell on a Flying Raijin Kunai engraved with a five-pointed star mark at his feet.
This Kunai was brought here by one of the Shadow Clone Techniques he separated after defeating Shukaku.
This Shadow Clone Technique traveled across most of the sea to find this island with no traces of human activity, in order to one day use it to transfer itself or attack.
Naruto closes his eyes, Mind's Eye of the Kagura and Good and Evil Perception turn on at the same time.
With the blessing of Chakra, the detection range of the superposition of the two sensing abilities is pushed to the limit.
With the island as the center, all Chakra signals within a radius of several hundred kilometers are included in his perception range.
Occasionally there are fish jumping out of the sea, and seabirds farther away are circling in the sky, but other than that there are no human beings Chakra present.
Although Shadow Clone Technique deliberately avoided all routes and human activity areas when choosing this island, Naruto still confirmed it again.
You must know that Shinobi World has White Zetsu and Black Zetsu working secretly, and he cannot take any risk of being discovered in advance.
After confirming that it was correct, Naruto used his hands Hand Seals and deployed an additional large-scale Perception Isolation Barrier around the island.
Barrier completely covers the entire island.
From the outside, this sea area is just an ordinary empty sea surface, without any Chakra fluctuations, without any traces of human activities, and even seabirds will avoid the area.
After doing all this, Naruto stood in the center of the island and slowly closed his eyes.
"Kurama, I'm ready."
