Tick tock.
Water drops fell into the stagnant water, and the sound was heard far away in the darkness.
Naruto lowered his head and stood in front of the huge cage.
The sealed space was glowing with dark red, and scarlet Chakra was pouring out along the iron bars, wrapping around his legs, and slowly climbing up his body.
Deep in the cage, a pair of huge eyes slowly opened.
"Be angry, Naruto."
Nine-Tails's voice came from the darkness.
Naruto ignored it.
The scene of Jiraiya falling was still replaying in his mind.
Blood gushed out from his chest, dyeing his white hair red. Jiraiya lay on the ground and never stood up again.
And Gamabunta.
The huge figure that stood in front of the explosion ended up with only a cold corpse left.
"Those people killed your teacher in front of you."
Nine-Tails slowly approached the cage.
"He taught you ninjutsu and protected you for so long, but in the end he died because of you."
Naruto's fingers trembled slightly.
"Shut up."
"You are obviously right next to me, but you can only watch."
"I told you to shut up!"
Naruto raised his head suddenly, his eyes already bloodshot.
His voice hit the surrounding darkness and came back from a distance.
Nine-Tails grinned, revealing sharp fangs.
"You hate them."
"I can feel it."
Scarlet Chakra continued to pour into Naruto's body, burning his skin until it hurt.
Those figures wearing black red cloud robes came to mind again.
They are still alive.
The person who killed Pervy Sage is still alive.
He even started to run away.
"Let me out."
Nine-Tails put his head close to the iron fence, and the figure of Naruto was reflected in his huge eyes.
"I will give all my power to you."
"No matter where they escape, I can find them for you."
"Then, kill them all."
Naruto's breathing is getting heavier and heavier.
He knew that Nine-Tails was deceiving him, but the anger in his chest was about to burn away his sanity.
If he had been stronger, Pervy Sage would not have died.
If you can control Nine-Tails, Gamabunta doesn't need to stand in front.
Those people are even less likely to leave alive.
Finally, Naruto raised his head and looked at the seal on the iron fence.
"I'm going to kill them."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the cage and reached out to grab the sealing talisman.
Nine-Tails lay in the darkness, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and clasped his wrist firmly.
"That's enough here, Naruto."
Naruto turned his head sharply.
A blond man stood next to him, looking at him sideways. He was wearing a white god robe.
Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"You... I think I've seen you before."
"On Hokage Rock."
Minato nodded,
"Yes, I am Fourth Hokage."
Then his expression turned serious.
"Do you know what you are doing? Naruto."
"You have already torn most of this seal apart. If you continue, Nine-Tails will come out completely."
Naruto was silent for a moment, then roared in a low voice.
"I don't care."
"I need its power!"
Then Naruto's anger surged up again, and his expression gradually became fierce.
"I'm going to kill them!"
"Naruto!"
"Calm down."
"It is no longer Nine-Tails's power that controls you now."
Minato looked into Naruto's eyes.
"It's hatred."
"So what!"
Naruto's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"They killed Pervy Sage!"
"I watched him die in front of me with my own eyes! I have practiced so hard, but I still couldn't save him in the end!"
Nine-Tails Chakra wrapped around Naruto surged violently, causing the water surface to shake.
"As long as I can kill them, that's enough!"
Minato was silent for a while, and then he spoke again.
"Naruto."
His voice came from behind.
"First look at what you just did."
The water under your feet suddenly swung away, and a large piece of Kakkō gradually emerged from the water.
A city appeared in front of Naruto.
The entire city can no longer look like it was originally. There is a huge pit in the center of the city. There is not a complete house in the entire city. Even the edges of the city are only ruins, broken walls, and wildfires are everywhere.
Naruto frowned.
He stared at the water for a long time and suddenly saw a Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Tailed Beast Bomb was ejected from the mouth of Eight-Tails itself, crossing the forest and falling towards the city in the distance.
The dazzling light swallowed up everything in an instant.
Naruto's body froze.
His face instantly turned pale.
He let go of the hand holding the seal and staggered back two steps.
"This... I did this?"
"No... it's not me, it's... it's..."
He wanted to say that it was Nine-Tails who did it, but he denied it in his heart first.
Isn't that what you condoned?
A chill instantly spread throughout his body, and he remembered the promise he had made.
I will definitely become Hokage and let everyone recognize me!
Say what you say and do what you say, this is my way of tolerance!
But what have you done now?
Plop!
Naruto's legs went weak and he knelt down in the water.
His eyes had lost their luster and his body was trembling slightly.
After several breaths, he slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands.
A strong nausea suddenly surged up from his stomach.
Naruto held the water with both hands and fell down. The blond hair on his forehead fell down, and the ends of his hair were immersed in the cold water.
"Ugh!"
He opened his mouth and his body twitched violently, but nothing came out.
Only the tears that kept pouring into the water made small ripples around his hand.
"I..."
Naruto's throat seems to be blocked.
"I didn't mean to hurt them."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, many voices that had long been blurred emerged from the depths of my memory.
Monster.
That child is a fox demon.
Don't get close to him, he will hurt you.
Why are you still letting him live in the village?
Those words that had been forcibly forgotten by Naruto became particularly clear at this time.
Naruto's body trembled again.
He stared at himself in the water, as if he saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
"I'm not a monster..."
Naruto's fingers slowly tightened, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
"I'm not..."
The next words stuck in my throat.
The ruins of the entire city are still reflected on the water.
The image of Nine-Tails fiercely ejaculating Tailed Beast Bomb came to mind again.
Naruto I can't talk anymore.
He buried his head lower and lower, his shoulders shook violently, and he couldn't stop crying.
Minato stood behind, looking at Naruto kneeling in the water, and did not move for a long time.
After a long time, Naruto suddenly said.
"Aren't you Hokage?"
Naruto was still kneeling on the water, with his head lowered and his voice trembling slightly.
"Why don't you kill me..."
Minato's pupils trembled slightly.
"I've hurt so many people, why don't you kill me?!"
His voice was completely broken.
"Kill me."
"Or..."
"Lock me in too."
