Chapter 277

It's all just trivial skirmishes.

And Jiraiya was dispatched to the battlefield along with Naruto and Sasuke.

After all, Konoha Village is currently short of talent, and its combat strength is terribly weak; even students must go to war.

After achieving his goal, the Sage of Six Paths began laying his plans in the shadows; although his fragment of soul was very faint.

It could still accomplish quite a bit.

He first secretly activated Naruto's and Sasuke's Indra Chakra and Asura Chakra.

At the same time, he located the Nine-Tails within Naruto!

"Sage... Sage of Six Paths... Sage of Six Paths!"

The Nine-Tails, sleeping soundly within Naruto, suddenly felt a chill wind blow.

Immediately after, the Sage of Six Paths appeared before him.

This gave the Nine-Tails a terrible fright.

To him, the Sage of Six Paths was like a biological parent; how could he possibly show any disrespect?

"Sage of Six Paths, I never expected to see you again!"

Seeing this, the Nine-Tails wept profusely, his massive body trembling.

Not from fear, but from joy!

Ask yourself: which Tailed Beast could encounter the Sage of Six Paths at this stage?

Only me, only me, the Nine-Tails, Kurama!

The Nine-Tails felt immense pride, yet also some confusion.

Why had the Sage of Six Paths sought him out now?

Thinking this, the Nine-Tails looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a questioning gaze.

"I need you to help Naruto grow stronger; soon the Ninja World will face a massive upheaval.

Only by helping Naruto grow stronger can you avoid the fate of being slaughtered."

The Sage of Six Paths' words struck the Nine-Tails' heart like thunder.

What does "avoid being slaughtered" mean?

Suddenly, the Nine-Tails recalled the Six-Tails, who had been beaten to death previously.

No way? I am the Nine-Tails, Kurama.

Could it be that I might be beaten to death by someone?

Saying he wasn't afraid would be a lie; although he was Kurama, that did not mean he was invincible.

Did you not see how Hashirama Senju previously toyed with him as if he were a plaything?

And that Uchiha Madara even directly controlled him.

But neither of them killed him; one did not want to waste such a precious and powerful fighting force.

The other was because it was very difficult to kill him.

But now that the Sage of Six Paths has spoken, it means there truly is someone in the Ninja World capable of killing him!

He did not want to turn into a mass of Chakra like that Six-Tails, waiting miserably for resurrection.

"I understand!"

"Hmm, that is excellent."

Having said this, the Sage of Six Paths vanished.

He felt time was extremely pressing; he not only had to notify many people to lay plans in the shadows.

He also had to imprison the Underworld space where Shi Yuan was located.

Not only must the space be imprisoned, but the time there must be imprisoned as well!

Freeze time!

·· ······ Begging for flowers · ·

Otherwise, given the opponent's talent, they might complete most of the Shinigami transformation in just a few days?

After the Sage of Six Paths left, the Nine-Tails pondered for a long time.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Naruto.

This little fellow was raised under his watch; how could there not be some affection?

Also because of him, this little fellow had been met with cold stares since childhood.

Now that the Sage of Six Paths wants him to help this brat, then he will give it a try!

Although his examination of this fellow is not yet finished, and although he trusts humans very little.

But there is no choice; after all, this is a task ordered by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Naruto... Naruto... Naruto..."

The Nine-Tails shouted incessantly within Naruto's mind.

At this moment, Naruto had just finished fighting Sasuke.

They are currently fighting near Iwagakure.

A little further to the side lies the most chaotic Kusagakure, and their objective is to go to Kusagakure to meet someone.

Although Kusagakure has no powerful figures, their ninja numbers are vast.

If they can contact Kusagakure and form an alliance with them, then Konoha Village's strength will increase significantly!

And currently, they have also formed an alliance with Sunagakure.

If this trend continues, it is feared that before long, Konoha Village will once again become the leader of the entire Ninja World.

"Naruto..."

"Aaaah, who called me?"

Naruto looked left and right, yet found nothing.

The very next second, Naruto appeared within his own inner world.

Seeing the massive seal before him, Naruto immediately understood.

It's the Nine-Tails!

"Naruto!"

The Nine-Tails stepped out from behind the giant seal gate.

That incomparably massive body, along with its ferocious appearance, startled Naruto right away.

Is this the Nine-Tails? Doesn't it look simply terrifying?

Truly a Tailed Beast capable of plowing up half of Konoha's land!

"Naruto, come closer."

"No! You definitely want to kill me!"

"Rest assured, I won't do anything to harm you. Don't you want to become stronger?"

The Nine-Tails' words struck Naruto deeply.

However, since Sasuke had not left, the current Naruto did not hold such a strong obsession with becoming stronger.

But the Nine-Tails knew very well how to make someone possess the desire to become stronger! Yi.
