As soon as the words left his mouth, Namikaze Minato on the spot. Through Naruto's senses, he realized that the current situation was indeed not suitable for reminiscing.
" Sage Mode? You weren't tricked by Nine-Tails...?"
"Damn Fourth Hokage, I really want to tear you to pieces right now, but I don't have the time to settle old scores with you right now."
"The person on the other side is a madman who is trying to destroy the whole world. What happens to the world is indeed none of my business, but if he dares to threaten my life, then I have no choice but to join forces with the brat in front of me and make way for him!"
Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato smiled slightly and nodded vigorously.
"I understand. After the battle, I'll listen to your explanation of what you've been through, Naruto..."
Squeak!
The gates blocking freedom slowly opened, but Kurama had no intention of taking the opportunity to escape and sat cross-legged behind Naruto.
"It's about to start. This is your first time activating Tailed Beast Mode, so your body might not have much time to adjust, but..."
In the real world, Nagato, suspended in the sky, had an indifferent expression and his hands Hand Seals.
" Tobi, prepare Wood Release."
The Rinnegan chakra gradually gathered and boiled to its peak in an instant.
He held his right hand out to Naruto under his breath.
"Feel the pain, endure the suffering, consider the pain, Super Shinra Tensei!"
"It's coming! Go, Naruto! Tailed Beast Mode!"
Pure white enveloped everything, and the pulsating chakra, like a real life, protected everyone behind it.
In an instant, all around fell silent.
As the light faded, a massive crater covering dozens of miles came into view, billowing dust that turned into black smoke.
The persistent golden light clung to Naruto once more, and Nine-Tailed Fox, a hundred meters long and shimmering with golden light, appeared before Nagato's eyes.
"Is this the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Mode? As expected of the strongest chakra aggregation among the Nine Tailed Beasts, even the Super Almighty Push, which can destroy an area of dozens of miles in one strike, has no effect."
Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox's body, Tsunade gazed up at Naruto, momentarily lost in thought.
"This guy, this brat, actually tamed the Nine-Tails and became a truly Perfect Jinchuriki!"
Jiraiya, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Naruto's back, and remembered what the Great Toad Sage had said to him.
"Naruto... Naruto, without a doubt, you are... you are the savior who will end the war in the Ninja World..."
" Lord Jiraiya! Please don't speak, the wound is too deep, and that guy's black rod seems strange..."
Shizune looked anxious. If it weren't for the help of the Katsuyu, Jiraiya wouldn't have made it this far.
"The future of the Ninja World Ninja World rests in your hands..."
Shizune's eyes widened in shock, as if she were stunned, and she anxiously called out to Tsunade.
" Lady Tsunade, Lady Tsunade! It's inside Lord Jiraiya's body!"
Nagato, facing off, remained indifferent, a chilling glint flashing in his pale purple Sharingan.
"Farewell, Jiraiya- sensei, Asura Path, click!"
The mini-missiles encased in the Chakra Black Rods suddenly exploded, and the Senbon black rods scattered like broadsword landmines, exploding instantly.
The destruction, along with Jiraiya's heart, was still not over. The chakra released from the black iron rod disrupted Naruto and Kurama's senses.
"What a despicable tactic. Doesn't this despicable feeling feel a bit like the urge to defecate?"
"Stop wasting any more time. Let this world grow from its pain as quickly as possible. Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Numerous wood fragments destroyed by the Rasenshuriken grew and spread wildly, instantly imprisoning the Nine-Tailed Fox, who was unable to move, in place.
Before Naruto could come up with a solution, a Wood Dragon emerged from beneath the ground and entangled the Nine-Tailed Fox. The immense vitality of the Nine-Tails Chakra's chakra caused the Wood Dragon to take root and sprout.
"This is the Wood Dragon that the First Hokage used to imprison the Tailed Beast. Now, you'd better stay there obediently and prepare to face your true form, you beast."
" Yasaka Magatama!"
The deep purple Tomoe instantly shattered the Wood Dragon into several pieces, and Naruto, inside the Nine-Tails, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
"They're finally here, Sasuke! Where's Teacher Huayue?"
"He's tied up with the people from the other four great nations, so he's temporarily acting as the leader of Konoha. Dealing with this guy is enough with me and you!"
The deep Karasu Tengu Giant stood tall, its long sword and the terrifying chakra that gathered and solidified distorted the very space around it.
Nagato frowned slightly, his expression indifferent.
"Every time, someone always tries to sabotage things at crucial moments. Oh well, this is fine too. Let you experience the despair of power on the real battlefield."
Bang! The White Mist dissipated, and Nagato and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path disappeared into the pit.
As the chakra dissipated, Naruto and Sasuke landed on the ground. Tsunade remained silent for a long time, her fists clenched tightly.
Click! Click!
" The Pervy Sage..."
"The legendary Sannin have sacrificed themselves, and the people of Konoha will be shocked by this. Return to the village immediately, for war is about to begin."
Naruto lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"Even though the Pervy Sage died in battle, you were unwilling to take the Hokage position. This was his last purpose in coming to you before his death, and you..."
"Stop talking, let's go back to Konoha."
Her blood-stained hands had stopped trembling at some point. Tsunade, her heart filled with something else once again, stood up, her face resolute.
"I will protect Konoha, which Dan, Nawaki, Jiraiya will protect with all their might. Let's get back quickly, the war is about to begin, and how can the battlefield be without medical experts!"
Only then did the gloom on Naruto's face gradually fade, and he nodded slightly.
Outside Konoha, in a little-known corner.
"That annoying aura has reappeared. It seems that brat Naruto has gained the approval of this world's master. Speaking of which, if the Nine Tailed Beasts merge into one, will it really become the Ten-Tails?"
On the azure lake, the Black Nine-Tails was somewhat curious, after all, in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, there was no such thing as God Tree or Ten-Tails.
"Want to see the Ten-Tails? That's easy. Just wait until Nagato summons Ten-Tails, and you'll see for yourself."
His smile grew even brighter, but his expression beneath the mask was subtle.
In the Inner world, nine layers of Anti-Membrane isolate numerous time and space, where Tailed Beast reside, each with a different expression.
"Alright, I'm sure you all now understand what kind of existence you are in this world and in time, becoming substitutes for the real Tailed Beast, and ultimately finding peace amidst the world's turmoil..."
"Are you willing to accept this ending?"
The calm lake was suddenly churned into towering waves, and the group of black- Tailed Beast roared angrily to the sky.
"What a joke! We are independent individuals. Who would willingly become their shadow?"
