Chapter 230

"Naruto, don't listen to his nonsense! The Hokage has always wanted to work hard to raise you; what he said was all a lie to deceive you!"

"The Hokage never controlled him to say those things; he made it all up!"

Obito sneered, "Naruto, do you dare believe their words?!"

He pointed a finger at Kakashi mockingly, "Look at this guy. He is your father's disciple, yet not only did he not tell you your true origins, he came to spy on you and watch you suffer!"

"Do you think such a person is worthy of your trust?!"

Naruto turned to look at Kakashi, his eyes filled with anger and hatred, along with a hint of disbelief.

What kind of garbage did his father teach?

One killed his own teacher!

The other completely ignored his own son.

Bastards!!

Kakashi clenched his fists and stared fiercely at Obito, yet found it hard to refute.

Because everything Obito said was true!

Seeing this, Naruto's eyes instantly changed, becoming incredibly cold, and his gaze toward the ANBU turned vigilant.

Obito spoke softly, "Make your move, Naruto. Awaken the power of the Nine-Tails within you and take revenge on those who caused you pain!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and the others were instantly terrified and cried out anxiously:

"Don't listen to him, Naruto. This is the village your father protected. Do you really want to destroy it?"

Obito spoke coldly:

"Why not?"

"Let the villagers of Konoha experience your pain as well!"

Whether the Nine-Tails' seal was too strong or Naruto was hesitating,

the Nine-Tails still did not fully go berserk.

Obito was somewhat disappointed, while Kakashi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Obito whispered into Naruto's ear:

"Naruto, this isn't you wanting to hurt Konoha; it is me threatening you to do it. You don't need to feel guilty; you can blame everything on me!"

"Most importantly, if you don't do something, I will really kill you!"

"After all, I am the enemy who killed your parents. Leaving you as a hidden threat is worse than cutting the weeds and their roots now to prevent future trouble!"

Hiss!

As the words fell.

The kunai in Obito's hand sliced through Naruto's neck, and blood flowed out.

Thump, thump, thump!

Naruto's heart began to beat wildly.

He could feel the chilling cold radiating from Obito, freezing his body and making it tremble uncontrollably.

Anger!

Hatred!

Fear!

Countless negative emotions flooded Naruto's mind.

Completely drowning his reason!

Boom!!!!

A surge of red, evil chakra suddenly erupted from Naruto's body.

Terrifying shockwaves rippled through the air, and the surrounding buildings began to shatter wildly.

"No good, the Nine-Tails' seal has broken!"

Yamato saw this and shouted anxiously.

Seeing this, Obito laughed excitedly, not caring even as the Nine-Tails' chakra blast threw him back.

Finally, he was going to get the Nine-Tails!

Inside Naruto's body!

Naruto, who had completely lost his reason, appeared within the seal space.

Dazed, he followed the dim underground pipes to the seal where the Nine-Tails resided.

Seeing Naruto's state, the Nine-Tails instantly became excited.

"Come closer, kid, come a bit closer, then go break the seal. You will receive all my power!"

Splash, splash...

A massive amount of Nine-Tails chakra, like liquid, poured out from the seal gate, drowning Naruto.

Then, as the water rose and the boat lifted, Naruto slowly ascended to the location of the seal.

He reached out his hand and placed it on the seal, wanting to open it.

But the next moment.

Click!

A hand grabbed his wrist. "Stop, Naruto!"

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, appeared. Looking at the young Naruto's irrational state, his expression was filled with agony.

Seeing his figure, the Nine-Tails was just about to roar.

But.

"Seal!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

In the Nine-Tails' bewildered gaze, the Fourth Hokage who had just appeared vanished once more!

And Naruto, who had regained a sliver of clarity due to the Fourth Hokage's disturbance, was submerged by reasonlessness once again!

He reached out and grabbed the seal again.

Rrrrip!

The paper of the seal was undone!

The seal's gate creaked open!

Seeing this, the Nine-Tails let out a hideous laugh.

"Hahaha, I am free at last! You Konoha bastards, prepare to face my wrath!"

In reality.

Yamato watched Naruto go berserk and urgently said, "Kakashi-senpai, buy me some time!"

"Understood!"

Kakashi said grimly; he knew that stopping the Nine-Tails' rampage now could only be achieved by Yamato!

But in the next instant, both their faces changed drastically.

Boom!!!

An unimaginable, terrifying chakra exploded violently, completely engulfing Naruto's body.

Chakra as red as blood began to coil around Naruto, and the tails behind him started to increase.

One, two, three, four...

The high-density chakra began to scorch Naruto's skin, exposing red flesh as if his entire body were burned.

That skin began to smoke as if charred, with black smoke shooting straight to the sky.

Immediately afterward, pale bones appeared out of thin air—the skull, limbs—supporting and protecting Naruto's body.

Finally!

Roar!!!

All the strange phenomena vanished, leaving only a nine-tailed, ferocious-looking demon fox!
