Chapter 232:
"How could it be?"
Naruto couldn't accept it.
Although Naruto had just guessed that Mirror Man would be difficult to deal with when he saw Mirror Man instantly kill the Kumogakure ninja whose strength was unknown, Naruto at that time was still very confident.
After one year of training, Naruto has made great progress. Before training, Naruto was barely able to reach Chuunin level. However, after a year of training, Naruto's current strength is about to reach the Kage level. This kind of Progress is extremely terrifying.
It is this outrageous growth rate that makes Naruto extremely confident. He does not think he can easily defeat the Mirror Man, but at least, from his point of view, he should be able to fight the Mirror Man evenly.
However
[has the gap become wider again? 】
Naruto thought this way, the person in front of him has been the top genius among his peers since he was a child. He has never changed. Naruto has always regarded him as a target to chase, but he has never caught up.
A year of training made Naruto think that he should more or less catch up with Kagami. Even if it didn't work, he should close the gap in strength between them, but it was
too early.
Kagami's words still echoed in Naruto's ears. side.
Really, is it really too early for me to defeat him now?
It's too early, Uzumaki Naruto,
"What's wrong? Give up now? Don't forget, you still have me, hehehe."
A somewhat cold voice came, and Naruto quickly looked up, only to find that he was standing at this moment. On a piece of water, in front of him, there was a large cage. A pair of red pupils lit up from the cage, which was very scary.
Kyuubi!
Red chakra began to surge, slowly passing through the cage, forming a Nine-Tails head outside the cage.
"Naruto, how can you give up? Have you even forgotten your ninja skills? Hahaha, if you really can't beat me, just borrow my power as much as you can. Just like you once said, just treat it as me. Living in your body, I paid your rent, hahaha."
Kyuubi's seductive voice echoed in Naruto's ears.
Of course, the Kyuubi had no good intentions. The Fourth Hokage hoped that Naruto could master the power of the Kyuubi, so when he sealed the Kyuubi, the seal was very loose, leaving room for Naruto's chakra to flow, so Naruto could Borrow the power of Kyuubi.
It turns out that the seal the Nine-Tails had placed inside the Jinchuuriki's body was far from being as simple as being locked in a cage.
In the original work, Kushina had the Nine-Tails sealed inside her body. The Nine-Tails were completely tied to a huge magma fireball by chains. Each tail had a huge nail nailed on it. There was also a nail on the neck and belly. There was another one on the top, and another one on the limbs. Then, the nails were firmly fixed on the fireball by chains.
In that case, Kyuubi couldn't even move, let alone pass on chakra?
It can be said that that is the situation when most tailed beasts are sealed.
A person like Naruto who is just locked in a cage cannot be any looser. Of course, this is also intentional by the Fourth Hokage. If he wants Naruto to master the power of the Nine-Tails, he must use a loose seal to let The circulation of chakra becomes possible.
Otherwise, if it were sealed like Kushina's, Kyuubi would never be able to break free of the seal without outside intervention, and it would be impossible for the Jinchūriki to go berserk or anything like that.
Having said that, why did Kyuubi try to persuade Naruto not to give up? Because of the loose seal, the advantage is that Naruto can use the power of Kyuubi, but the disadvantage is that Kyuubi has the ability to break this loose seal!
Every time Naruto uses the power of the Kyuubi, the seal will loosen invisibly. When it becomes loose to a certain extent, the Kyuubi can completely destroy the seal!
In the original work, during the battle with Pain, the seal of the Nine-Tails was loose enough to be broken, so the complete Nine-Tails almost appeared.
Therefore, the Kyuubi has tried every means to transfer chakra to Naruto since he was a child, and even deliberately disrupted Naruto's training and made Naruto look like a crane tail, just to make Naruto have no power and become even more powerful. It relies on the chakra of the Kyuubi.
Anyway, the purpose of the Kyuubi is not to help Naruto recover the Mirror Man, its purpose is very simple - to let Naruto borrow its power, the more the better! The more you borrow, the faster the seal will loosen!
Naruto looked at the Kyuubi in front of him and hesitated.
The current Naruto has not yet discovered the dangers of borrowing the Nine-Tails. In the original book, after Naruto experienced the Battle of Pain, the Nine-Tails that almost broke the seal sounded the alarm to Naruto. From then on, Naruto has consciously restrained himself. I don't want to borrow Kyuubi's power casually.
But before that, Naruto really didn't realize the danger of the Nine-Tails, and he was in a state where he was more willing to borrow the power of the Nine-Tails.
Memories began to emerge gradually. Naruto's childhood was undoubtedly lonely and miserable. Everyone in Konoha seemed to hate him and stay away from him. Only the genius with the dazzling light never looked at Naruto with special eyes. Man, throughout his childhood, the thing that impressed Naruto the most was the encouragement he received from Kagami.
That almost became the only light in Naruto's dark childhood, that's why Naruto was so persistent with the Mirror Man, so even if the Mirror Man attacked Konoha, Naruto always wanted to take the Mirror Man back to Konoha.
It can be said that the first warmth Naruto felt subjectively since he was a child was given by the Mirror Man.
Before Kakashi and Jiraiya appeared, Kagami was the only one who was nice to Naruto.
Want to give up? Uzumaki Naruto? Do you want to give up the opportunity to bring back Mirror Man?
Mirror Man frowned and looked at Naruto in front of him, silent.
Red chakra began to flow out of Naruto's body, and the six whisker-like stripes on his face became more obvious.
After forming a seal with his hands, a shadow clone appeared next to Naruto and began to roll the Rasengan.
"Mirror Man! I will definitely take you back this time! I haven't asked you why you left Konoha or why you attacked Konoha. There are too many questions that I need to ask clearly!" Mirror Man was silent
. After a while, he looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was stunned. He didn't understand why the Mirror Man looked at him. As long as the Mirror Man didn't kill Naruto, Jiraiya didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two. Jiraiya also knew a little bit about the relationship between Naruto and the Mirror Man. Some, in addition, Jiraiya knew very well that even if he was added, it would be impossible to keep Kagami, so Jiraiya did not intend to get involved from the beginning.
But what does it mean for people in the mirror to look at themselves?
Well,
the next second, Jiraiya suddenly realized it and shook his head.
When Kagami saw Jiraiya shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Naruto.
Kagami saw that Jiraiya's meaning was very clear. The Nine-Tails in Naruto's body was starting to act like a monster. Why don't you stop it?
What Jiraiya means is, I won't stop it.
This is also normal. Jiraiya knows Minato's thoughts, and Jiraiya is also working hard to let Naruto master the power of the Nine Tails.
In the original work, Jiraiya also deliberately guided the Nine-Tails to explode.
Therefore, Jiraiya did not want to stop the Nine-Tails from transmitting chakra.
Even if Kyuubi weakens the seal, so what? Kyuubi didn't know at all that Naruto still had Kushina's chakra and Minato's chakra in his body. To put it bluntly, after Kyuubi broke this seal, there were two more waiting for it!
Even if both methods fail, there are still ninjas in Konoha who know the sealing technique. There is basically no possibility of Kyuubi actually breaking the seal and escaping.
"Rasengan!"
Naruto rushed up again, and then was shot away again.
At this moment, Naruto's appearance only had a little more red chakra, but other than that, there was no change. Borrowing chakra to this extent, for the Mirror Man, was almost the same as not borrowing it.
"Not enough! Naruto!"
Sure enough, Kyuubi was also very dissatisfied. Borrowing so much chakra? Can it be more atmospheric? Borrow more! Look, this seal is so tight. If you don't lend me more, how can I break it?
This time, a large amount of red chakra began to appear, forming a red chakra coat around Naruto's body. This coat had two fox ears on its head, a tail behind it, and sharp claws on its hands and feet.
Naruto's current appearance is the same as when he fought Sasuke in the Valley of the End in the original novel, except that Naruto has grown up now and looks a bit like he did two years later in the original novel.
The next second.
"Ugh!"
A mouthful of blood spit out from Naruto's mouth. He was punched away by the mirror man who didn't know when he came to him!
Mirror Man looked at Naruto expressionlessly, no, he was not looking at Naruto, but Kyuubi!
"Come, let me see your power."
Naruto gritted his teeth and stood up, his mood getting more and more angry.
The Nine-Tails in Naruto's body narrowed its eyes slightly. It was keenly aware that it was not Naruto that the Mirror Man was provoking, but the Nine-Tails!
【snort! A boy who doesn’t know how high the sky is! 】
In fact, in the life trajectory of Mirror Man, after opening the Sharingan, he had less and less contact with Naruto, and gradually, they basically couldn’t see each other. Therefore, Kyuubi’s perception of Mirror Man’s strength Like Naruto, they both don't know and don't know clearly.
When Naruto thought about it, the Mirror Man was very powerful, but when it came to the Nine-Tails, the Mirror Man might be very powerful, but in front of their tailed beasts, he was definitely not worth mentioning!
Naruto's skin began to gradually turn red, and the tailed beast coat disappeared. Gradually, Naruto turned into a red monster, crawling on the ground like a fox, with white eyes staring at Mirror Man.
Completely furious!
Mirror Man glanced at the number of tails, three.
"Are you looking down on me?"
The next moment, Mirror Man once again appeared next to Naruto who had transformed into a small tailed beast. His golden bone arm appeared and slapped Naruto away fiercely.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Because Naruto had already transformed into a small tailed beast, Mirror Man did not hold back his hands as much as before this time, but increased his strength slightly. This force was so strong that it made him Naruto, who had transformed into a small tailed beast, screamed in pain.
The voice was sharp, not like a human voice at all.
The tailed beast-turned-Naruto was knocked away from the distance, leaving a long trace on the ground and raising bursts of smoke.
Soon, the tailed beast-turned-Naruto removed his strength and stopped.
"Ah!!!"
This voice was different from the sharp one before. This time it was a little deeper. Along with this voice, there was a large amount of Nine-Tails Chakra.
When the smoke dissipated, four tailed beasts appeared in the distance from Naruto, with white skeletons all around.
Naruto looked up and a small black dot began to gather above his mouth.
Tailed beast cannon!
This tailed beast cannon can be said to be a small tailed beast jade, but its destructive power is far less than that of a real tailed beast jade.
"Phew!"
The small black ball was spat out by Naruto and rushed towards Mirror Man.
With a flash of golden light, a Susanoo about four meters tall appeared instantly, stretched out his right hand and directly grasped the tailed beast cannon!
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded in Susanoo's right hand, but it did not cause much damage. Kagami used Susanoo to catch Naruto's Tailed Beast Cannon!
Susanoo opened his right hand, and his palm was now dark and black smoke was rising. Sure enough, although holding the tailed beast cannon directly looked cool, injuries were inevitable.
Chakra surged, the black traces quickly disappeared, and Susanoo returned to normal.
"That's it!!!"
The Kyuubi in Naruto's body widened his eyes. When he only had one hand, Kyuubi hadn't recognized it yet, but at this moment, the four-meter-tall Susanoo appeared, and he already looked a bit like it. .
Just like the man's move in Kyuubi's memory!
"Madara"
recalled that man, a fear first appeared in Kyuubi's heart, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by endless anger!
It's that guy. Ever since he found him, he has been trapped in a never-ending cage!
asshole! ! !
die! ! !
The Nine-Tails' chakra began to flow out crazily, and it became angry!
"Ah!!!"
A red chakra light pillar shot into the sky, and the terrifying chakra directly set off gusts of wind.
Jiraiya's face immediately turned pale. Although he wanted Naruto to have more contact with the Kyuubi's chakra so that he could master the power of the Kyuubi as soon as possible, now this powerful chakra seemed to be somewhat out of his control. Take control.
The surrounding trees were directly uprooted by the strong wind stirred up by the chakra, blowing far away in all directions.
Karui, who was hiding in the cloud, also turned pale. Kumogakure had also experienced such a thing as
"the tailed beast went completely berserk" , so Karui knew the horror of such a thing. She did not dare to hesitate, carried Omoi and Samui on her shoulders, and left here immediately. The Mirror Man also saw this scene and frowned, but in the end he didn't stop it. Just run away, they can run, but the huge Yunyin can't run away, right? Shiro was blinded by the strong wind. He dodged a few times and disappeared. After a while, Shiro came back with the help of Kosoki in blood-colored clothes, and hurriedly ran to Kagami's Susanoo, because Kagami had originally The purpose of opening the Susanoo for the first time was to protect Shiro and Karin, so Shiro knew that Kagami's Susanoo could let others in. Sure enough, after entering Susanoo, those strong winds disappeared instantly. Inside Susanoo, it was still so quiet and peaceful, as if no matter what happened outside, it could not shake this golden giant in the slightest. Mirror Man looked at Xiang Phosphorus who was wearing blood-colored clothes, and his face was very gloomy. Originally, when Mirror Man saw Bai Shi who was not injured much, he thought Xiang Phosphorus was about the same, and planned to slowly clean up the underground tissues, but now Seeing Xiang Phosphorus's appearance, Mirror Man was completely irritated. He didn't want to continue playing with Naruto here. He wanted to quickly deal with Naruto and then clean up those underground organizations.
Yes, Naruto, or Kyuubi, was never considered a threat by the Mirror Man from beginning to end.
Don't forget, his eyes are the Sharingan of the Eternal Mangekyō! Even if the Kyuubi breaks the seal immediately, takes out the other half of the chakra from Minato's body in the Shinigami, and merges it into the complete Kyuubi, what can it do when facing the Mirror Man?
Madara can subdue the Kyuubi effortlessly, and he, Uchiha Kagami, can do the same!
