Chapter 181 Flying to the Sky Above Konoha

"Jiraiya! You..."

After being directly retorted by Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly became furious.

But just when he was about to say something.

The anger on his face suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked at Naruto.

Then he saw a pair of blue eyes as calm as an ancient well.

The fox's vertical pupils, whose will was not eroded by the tailed beast's chakra, did not even show any signs of being out of control.

The scarlet chakra in the shape of a fox on the whole body gradually dissipated.

Slowly turned into a golden chakra coat with multiple rows of magatama and special marks.

The fierce aura that had just permeated the surroundings also gradually disappeared unconsciously.

But this did not let the Anbu who were on alert relax their vigilance, and they even became more vigilant to completely surround Naruto in the crowd.

As long as Naruto showed any unusual movement, they would immediately and decisively take action.

In their perception, the terrifying aura fluctuations lingering around Naruto did not weaken at all.

But compared to the initial ferocity, his aura at this time has become more restrained.

It's like a hungry and crazy trapped beast turned into a hawk soaring in the sky, staring at its prey.

This unknown change made the Anbu ninja more nervous and solemn.

But at this moment.

"Don't do it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the Anbu ninja's actions with a stern voice, and then looked at Naruto with surprise again.

"This is exactly the same as the changes when Mito-sama and Kushina used the Nine-Tails Chakra!"

Others don't know what this change in Naruto means, but Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has experienced the succession of three generations of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, can't he know?

Uzumaki Naruto is the third generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The first two generations of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki seized the Nine-Tails' chakra and used it for themselves.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew the changes when Mito and Kushina used the Nine-Tails Chakra.

"Look, old man."

Jiraiya crossed his arms, raised his head slightly and said, "I told you that Naruto will succeed."

"... Even so, you shouldn't have kept it from me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, and his tone became softer: "It's great if it succeeds now, but what if it fails?"

Although he was still blaming, it was just a show for others.

Since Naruto has successfully seized the Nine-Tails Chakra, it means that he has the qualifications to become a fighting force in Konoha.

What's more, he is still so young now...

Sarutobi Hiruzen can fully foresee that in the near future, Naruto will definitely become an important force to protect Konoha!

Even, become the fifth or sixth generation Hokage!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a step and walked to Naruto step by step.

Then, with an undisguised expectation in his tone: "Naruto, how do you feel now?"

"... Sorry to worry you, Grandpa Sanda."

Naruto seemed to have just recovered, and smiled again: "I feel very good now, and Kurama has begun to recognize me."

If you ignore the dazzling golden chakra coat, the smile on his face is still as gentle and elegant as usual.

Seeing that Naruto did not show any signs of losing control, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and a group of Anbu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Kurama the name of the Nine-Tails?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought secretly in his heart: "Since the Nine-Tails told Naruto its real name, Naruto may have really been recognized by it."

Getting the recognition of the tailed beast in the body is a necessary condition for becoming a perfect Jinchūriki.

Although he is not sure whether Mito-sama has done this, he can be sure that Kushina definitely did not do it when she was alive.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that even the ferocious Nine-Tails can't refuse Naruto who has both strength and kindness."

Naruto didn't know Sarutobi Hiruzen's psychological activities at the moment.

He just looked down at the golden tailed beast coat on his body, constantly studying the power he borrowed from the fox teacher.

"Is this the chakra of the tailed beast?"

The purity and plasticity of the Nine-Tails' chakra far exceeds his own chakra.

In this mode of using "Nine-Tails Chakra", he can initially operate and use the chakra of the fox teacher.

Not only can he sense the malice or kindness of others, but his physical qualities such as speed and strength are also greatly improved.

And compared with the superficial use of chakra by the tailed beast, he can use this tailed beast chakra more flexibly.

For example, it can enhance the power and range of the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

But the most important thing is...

Naruto can feel a power hidden in his body, and this power is still getting stronger and more restless.

Now, there is only one thought left in his mind.

——Let the desire that keeps colliding in his heart be released together with this growing power.

The moment the thought came up.

Naruto did not choose to resist, but slowly raised his hands.

The two chakras belonging to him and the Nine-Tails in his body began to surge continuously, and two blue and black chakra balls quickly condensed in the palm of his hand.

Immediately, under the gaze of everyone who was not sure why.

Naruto suddenly clasped his hands in front of his chest.

The blue and black chakra balls began to merge rapidly in a ratio of 2:8, and transformed into a palm-sized scarlet chakra ball at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment.

The two chakras that were very stable just now instantly emitted an extremely terrifying chakra fluctuation.

Wherever this chakra wave went, everyone's faces showed pain.

The chakra in their bodies suddenly became extremely hot like a flame.

The wave emanating from the scarlet ball was constantly eroding their bodies like poison.

Every cell in their body seemed to be wailing and howling.

"Wait! Naruto..."

Sensing this change, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Heavy particles..."

As the indifferent voice fell, Naruto gently pushed his hands in front of his chest.

The scarlet ball that exuded a terrifying aura broke away from control at a strange acceleration from slow to fast.

Everyone present subconsciously looked up, and their eyes slowly moved with the ball.

Squeak...

It passed through the endless dense forest.

Wherever it went, tall and straight trees looked like pencil drawings on paper.

First, they turned into flying fragments, and then they were completely reduced to dust and scattered.

In an extremely strange posture, they were wiped out by the terrifying power.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others had dull faces, watching the scarlet ball gradually fly to the sky above Konoha Village.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded.

Accompanied by endless light and heat, it came into people's eyes.

The air was pushed away by the huge force, forming a milky white air wave, which quickly spread to the surroundings with the explosion as the center.
