The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Nearly Crashed Headfirst into the Barrier and Died

Kurama had been happily grilling meat in the Sealing Space.

Who knew the brat would actually do exactly what he had just said?

Could ninjutsu be researched so recklessly!?

Even Kurama, who could not use ninjutsu, knew that the slightest mistake while researching ninjutsu could cost someone their life.

Let alone Naruto, a Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki—even a Ten-Tailed Jinchuriki would still croak if they caused their Chakra to go berserk.

Yet this kid had not only survived on the spot, he had actually managed to produce something.

That was what truly shocked Kurama.

Although he could sense the brat's life force rapidly declining, his Tailed Beast Chakra was also uncontrollably repairing Naruto's body.

With one offsetting the other, Naruto would not be dying anytime soon.

Kakashi did not think he had ever been this flustered in his life.

What kind of monster was this child!?

He had activated the Eight Gates according to the Chakra circulation route Kakashi had given him...

It was already a miracle that he had not died.

Kakashi had never imagined this would happen.

And...

Kakashi felt that if Naruto kept this up, the violent Chakra would sooner or later tear him apart.

There was not a single patch of uninjured flesh left on his body.

If he had not recovered so quickly, he would have probably died the moment he used this technique. How could he still be moving around like this?

How could Naruto hear Kakashi right now? His ears were filled with the howling wind.

Naruto figured that his current strength was about three times that of his normal state.

Both his speed and strength had increased dramatically.

He just did not know why his Chakra was being consumed so quickly.

If Kurama knew what the brat was thinking, he would definitely have something to say about it...

If this kid did not have so much Chakra to begin with, and had not drawn on Tailed Beast Chakra to repair his body...

Then just wait to die!

"Too strong!"

Naruto did not really have a concrete grasp of his own strength right now, nor had he ever seen just how powerful the Eight Gates could be when used.

All he knew was that he felt incredibly strong right now!

Naruto looked at the forest ahead and immediately thought of a way to test his strength.

He slowly crouched down, pressed both hands to the ground, and assumed a starting position, preparing to test his limits.

"Uzumaki Naruto!!!"

"Stop right now!!"

Kakashi was genuinely about to be scared to death by the sight of him.

The Third Hokage had told him to keep a close eye on Naruto...

Who would have thought this kid would always come up with something different?

When Naruto moved just now, Kakashi had seen through the Sharingan that Naruto's body had already reached its limit.

And now, looking at him like this...

Did he still want to test his speed at full power!?

Please, do not do it!

Kakashi did not want to see Naruto's corpse in a moment, nor did he want to hear tomorrow that Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki had died...

If the Third Hokage learned that he had gotten a child killed while looking after him, he would be in serious trouble.

Boom—

The moment Kakashi finished speaking, a tremendous boom rang out beside him. Naruto shot forward, trailing red afterimages behind him, smashing through everything in his path and clearing away all obstacles directly.

Moreover, a huge crater had been stomped into the spot where Naruto had just been standing.

That was on par with Tsunade's Monstrous Strength.

Kakashi covered his face and let out a helpless sigh.

"It's over. I've caused a huge disaster..."

He had already begun imagining being pinned to the ground and beaten by his teacher and teacher's wife after reaching the Pure Land.

At this moment, the Third Hokage had just finished lunch at home and was walking through Konoha's streets with his hands behind his back.

When he had gone home at noon, he happened to see Naruto and Kakashi researching ninjutsu together, and it had delighted him.

A good thing...

The child was finally no longer training in taijutsu.

Kakashi truly was a very reliable ninja!

The Third Hokage was in an excellent mood today, and he had even eaten an extra bowl of rice at lunch.

Rumble—

Suddenly, a tremendous noise came from the eastern side of the village.

The Third Hokage's eyes widened, and after several quick flashes, he appeared atop a roof.

"What happened!?"

The Anbu also appeared around the Third Hokage. They exchanged glances, but not one of them dared to speak first.

Seeing how they hesitated to speak, the Third Hokage immediately darkened his expression and barked at them.

"Speak!"

"Was it the Hidden Cloud Village? Or the Hidden Rock Village?"

"Hmph! This is outrageous!"

"They actually dare attack our village during peacetime!"

The Third Hokage did not even need to think about it. Such a huge disturbance had most likely been caused by those brutes from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Um... Third Hokage..."

"It's the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough! What did you say!?"

The Third Hokage had worked himself into a rage, only for them to tell him it had been one of their own??

The child had caused such a massive disturbance... Could he be planning to defect???

After thinking for two seconds and finding no clue at all, the Third Hokage decided to go take a look himself.

Looking toward the east, he saw trees and buildings being continuously destroyed.

The Third Hokage even began to suspect that the Tailed Beast had gone out of control.

Konoha's Anbu ninja all rushed toward Naruto at the same time. Quite a few jonin, as well as Root ninja, also charged over.

For no other reason...

That red figure was about to crash into the village barrier.

"This feels amazing!!"
