Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 98

The sky was no longer a single, unified expanse, but was clearly divided into two enormous sections, left and right.

Sunlight poured down from the depths of the crack, forming a magnificent pillar of light within the fissure.

Naruto's punches practically combed the clouds in the sky into a middle part!

"!!" Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, clearly capturing the scene of the sky being torn apart in an instant and the destructive power contained within it that was beyond comprehension. Even someone as calm as him could not help but feel an indescribable shock on his face at this moment.

"This power..." Hinata's Mangekyou Sharingan could not only "see" the visible scars in the sky, but also sense the violent yet incredibly condensed energy trajectory left by the punch that swept across the sky, which trembled in space for a long time.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Naruto asked Sasuke and Hinata with a smile.

The two were eager to try it out. With such immense power at their disposal, it would be a real shame not to give it a shot!

As a result, two more cracks appeared in the clouds in the sky!

"And there are Truth-Seeking Balls!" Naruto thought to himself, and the three Truth-Seeking Balls behind him floated to his front.

"These are Truth-Seeking Balls. They are formed by creating a physical form based on Yin-Yang Release and then condensing high-density chakra of the seven attributes of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements!" Naruto explained to Sasuke and Hinata.

Sasuke and Hinata obtained the Truth-Seeking Balls through a clever trick, and they may not necessarily know anything about the Truth-Seeking Balls.

"Because my Yang Release and Yin Release techniques have not been fully mastered, I can only create three for now, while it can create a maximum of nine."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that each of these spheres is only the size of a fist. They contain immense power, encompassing the power of all things in the universe. Ordinary Yin-Yang and Five Elements attacks are ineffective against them, and they can also freely change shape!"

“For example.” Naruto’s mind stirred, and one of the three Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into a longsword, one into a round shield, and one into a levitation platform.

Naruto grabbed the longsword and shield, stepped onto the levitation platform, and flew up.

"Sasuke, attack me with ninjutsu!" Naruto shouted.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke didn't hesitate and unleashed a Fire Release technique towards Naruto.

The Truth-Seeking Ball shield in Naruto's hand automatically extended, forming a semi-circular shield that blocked Sasuke's Fire Release.

It was completely undamaged.

Chapter 44: Fighting

Naruto jumped off the hoverboard: "Aside from space-time ninjutsu and sage techniques, almost all ninjutsu based on the five elements are ineffective against it."

Sasuke and Hinata both began testing the three Truth-Seeking Balls on their backs.

"Then aren't we practically invincible in the ninja world?" Sasuke said, raising an eyebrow.

After all, in the ninja world, those who understand space-time ninjutsu and sage techniques are extremely rare.

"If you really want to put it that way, you might be right. After all, even without the Truth-Seeking Balls, I'm incredibly strong in my current Tailed Beast Chakra Mode," Naruto said with a hearty smile.

He hasn't even used the Eight Gates Formation yet!

Sasuke canceled the Heart-to-Heart Pact, and Hinata and the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode on his body disappeared. The three Truth-Seeking Balls behind the three of them also disappeared.

"It seems that my Yin Release is far inferior to my Yang Release now." Without the ultimate Yin Release like the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto is also unable to complete the fusion of Truth-Seeking Balls on his own.

"Then it seems I'll have to learn some medical ninjutsu and master the method of converting Yang Release." Sasuke nodded slightly, confirming his training goal for the next stage.

Now that the road ahead is visible, proceeding along that road is undoubtedly the fastest way.

“You’ve already mastered Sage Mode, and the Yang Release power within your body is already quite profound. All you’re missing is a way to master Yang Release.” Naruto nodded, sharing his training experience.

His progress is much faster than Sasuke's, and he can share a lot about the path he has already walked with him.

"As for Hinata, you should focus on evolving the Tenseigan. After all, it's the eye technique of the Hyuga clan's founder. If you can develop this eye technique, I think it won't be weaker than the Yin-Yang Five Elements Fusion." Naruto turned to Hinata and said.

The Hyuga clan is not naturally strong in the five elements, and Hinata has not trained in the five elements ninjutsu, so she cannot obtain Truth-Seeking Balls through the fusion of Yin and Yang and the five elements like they can.

However, this does not mean that Hinata is weak. The Tenseigan, which requires high-purity bloodline power and high-level energy to evolve, is definitely not weak.

There was a knock from the secret service outside the door. After all, the three of them had made such a commotion, someone had to come and ask what was going on.

Naruto told them he was just testing his ninjutsu and sent them away.

Back in his bedroom, Naruto entered the sealed space once more.

The iron gate from before has disappeared. This time, it wasn't that Naruto hid it; it vanished completely.

"Even though I am sealed and only have half my strength, I, the Nine-Tails, am still invincible in the world!" The Nine-Tails shouted loudly as it saw Naruto, its nine tails flying.

"At the pinnacle of ninja, I reign supreme over the world. With me, Naruto, there is heaven!" Naruto replied solemnly.

The man and the fox exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"Naruto, where did you learn these stories from?" After merging with Kurama's chakra, Kurama's attitude towards him changed drastically, and Kurama asked curiously.

"Ah, it was a really long dream I had when I was four years old. I think that dream really changed my life!" Naruto said.

Kurama crouched down and extended a fist toward Naruto.

Naruto was taken aback: "What's going on? A strength contest?"

"Why are you comparing strength? Come on, let's exchange punches, and I'll teach you the proper way to use chakra!" Kurama said irritably.

I know you're good at physical combat, so you don't need to show off all the time!

I, the Nine-Tailed Emperor, am not afraid of you!

"The proper way to use chakra?" Naruto asked, puzzled, but he still obediently extended his fist and clashed with Kurama's fist.

In an instant, Naruto closed his eyes.

It was receiving the information transmitted by Kurama through its chakra.

After a long while, Naruto finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with amazement.

"I see. So this is what you mean by chakra usage? Just by connecting chakra, you can transfer power and consciousness?" Naruto exclaimed in amazement.

"This is the true intention behind the Six Paths' founding of Ninjutsu and the spread of chakra. He hoped that chakra could become a bond connecting people. Through chakra, people could understand each other's hearts and reduce war and conflict."

"But unfortunately, later generations gradually used chakra as a weapon of war, completely violating the old man's original intention," Kurama said.

"The Sage of Six Paths had good intentions, but he underestimated the complexity of human nature," Naruto said with a slight sigh.

"Even if both sides intend to pursue peace, if their methods differ, even if the two people can understand each other's hearts, the conflicts will not decrease, and ultimately only a battle can decide everything."

"It's like Ashura and Indra; as soon as the Sage of Six Paths died, they immediately started fighting."

Naruto has received the memories passed down to him by Kurama and has learned a lot about things from ancient times.

He also learned about the Sage of Six Paths and his son.

"In fact, the era of the Sage of Six Paths has already proven that the idea that people can achieve lasting peace through mutual understanding is wrong."

"The reason his era was peaceful was simply because the Sage of Six Paths was suppressing that era!"

"This is also the longest period of peace."

"The plan for unification is correct!"

"Kurama, I cannot guarantee lasting peace, but I can guarantee a peaceful environment during the era I suppress!" Naruto said earnestly to Kurama.

“Ah, that’s why I wanted to see what you would do!” Nine-Lama nodded and said.

"Based on the memories you transmitted to me, the Akatsuki's purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts is to revive the Ten-Tails?" Naruto changed the subject after confirming his goal again.

“That’s right.” Kurama nodded. “You remember when I met Shukaku after you rescued Gaara, right?”

Naruto nodded. At that time, Kurama had mocked Shukaku's body.

"Shukaku told me that the body of the Ten-Tails is what recycles their chakra!"

"The Ten-Tails' body was originally sealed on the moon by the old man and his brother Hamura, but unexpectedly someone awakened the old man's Rinnegan and summoned the Ten-Tails' body from the moon to Earth."

"Their goal might be to revive the Ten-Tails and make it the second Sage of Six Paths!" Kurama warned solemnly.

"Is the Ten-Tails very strong?" Naruto asked, frowning slightly.

“Very strong! Extremely strong!” Kurama nodded and said, “Because it has already absorbed the energy of this planet once and borne fruit! If it really absorbs the chakra of our tailed beasts, it’s equivalent to it regaining control of the planet’s energy!”

"Under these circumstances, even I, in my fully-formed state, would be unable to contend with it!"

"You've just mastered my power, and you can already sense the attributes of my power, right?" Kurama asked.

"Yes, it's a powerful and high-quality Yang Release chakra!" Naruto nodded slightly.

"This is half of my power, and the other half is within your father's body, which is Yin-attribute chakra. I am a combination of Yin and Yang attributes, while the Ten-Tails possesses the full power of a Tailed Beast!"

Chapter 45 The Weapon Has Arrived

"Naruto, even though we've achieved the perfect Jinchuriki, we're still far from being able to defeat the Ten-Tails," Kurama said earnestly.

"So you should know what to do, right?" Kurama said, looking down at Naruto.

Naruto pondered for a moment, then nodded with a serious expression: "So, is my strength still too weak?"

Kurama looked at Naruto speechlessly: "What, are you only satisfied if you become an immortal emperor who dominates all ages?"

"Huh? I wouldn't even dare to dream of that. What about the Celestial King?" Naruto said, stroking his chin.

"Those who praise my true name will attain eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation!" He raised his head, his tone indifferent.

"Let's get down to business! It's just the two of us here, no one can hear your boasting!" Nine-Tailed Fox said irritably.

“I know what you’re thinking. You want to stop the Akatsuki from collecting the Eight-Tails and your chakra?” Naruto said, scratching his head.

"Yes!" Nine-Lama nodded; this was indeed its thought.

"The idea is good, but it's just an escape!" Naruto waved his hand and said.

Seeing Kurama's unconvinced expression, Naruto explained, "Do you remember the boy that Akatsuki took away during their attack on the Fire Temple?"

Kurama nodded slightly. The boy possessed its chakra, though it was only a tiny fraction, it was undoubtedly its chakra!

"You tailed beasts have lived for thousands of years, and your chakra may be left behind somewhere. If you are willing to collect it, sooner or later the Akatsuki will be able to collect your chakra and revive the Ten-Tails."

“It is certainly necessary to prevent the Akatsuki from directly absorbing you, but at the same time, I must also strive to improve my own strength. If my strength is enough to suppress the Ten-Tails, then even if the Ten-Tails is truly resurrected, so what?” Naruto said, spreading his hands.

"They can only be suppressed by me once again!"

Kurama was speechless after hearing Naruto's words.

Because he felt that Naruto was right.

There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days; killing the thief is the right thing to do.

To kill the thief, one must strive to improve one's own strength.

"So what do you plan to do? Now that your strength has reached this level, how can you further increase your strength?" Nine-Tailed Fox asked.

"I'm all ready!" Naruto said energetically.

"Don't worry, Kurama, even if the Ten-Tails really does revive again, I will absolutely not let you be absorbed by it!" Naruto gave Kurama a thumbs up, his white teeth gleaming!

For the first time, Kurama felt a strange sense of security while inside Naruto's body!

After finishing his conversation with Kurama, Naruto learned many secrets.

This includes the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki organization, but unfortunately, even Kurama doesn't know what the Rinnegan's power is.

After all, when it was separated from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths no longer needed to use his own power.

"After all, it's the Sage of Six Paths' eye technique! Although I've now mastered Kurama's power, and together with Sasuke, we've also mastered the Truth-Seeking Balls, we still can't be careless." Naruto said seriously, slamming his left hand on his right.

"Naruto-kun!!" Someone outside called out Naruto's name.

Naruto went outside and saw that it was Tenten, who was carrying two weapons and a pair of gloves.

He quickly invited Tian Tian into the house to greet her.

"This is the weapon you commissioned me to make last time. The master craftsman from the Land of Iron has recast it according to your specifications and sent it back. I took advantage of the time I had to bring it to you now," Tenten said, putting down the weapon in her hand.

"Thank you so much, Tenten-senpai." Naruto poured Tenten a cup of fragrant tea, his face showing gratitude.

In fact, he had already forgotten about it.

His strength had improved too quickly; he had even mastered the Truth-Seeking Balls. These weapons made of chakra metal were simply beneath his notice.

If these chakra weapons were to collide with the weapons created by the Truth-Seeking Balls, they would probably be twisted into a pretzel in an instant.

But since it was something Tian Tian had gone to great lengths to bring to him, Naruto naturally couldn't let her down.

"You must use these weapons well; they were all meticulously crafted by master craftsmen from the Land of Iron!" Tenten looked enviously at the weapons on the table, all made of the finest chakra metal.
