The Konoha ninjas who rushed over only saw their unconscious companions, but not even the shadow of the enemy.
"It seems that they have escaped. They are really fast."
Ibiki shouted, "Send two people to save their companions. The others follow me to the ancestral hall."
The group quickly entered and looked at the messy Uzumaki ancestral hall.
There were masks all over the ground.
"The enemy's target is the masks? But what is the value of these masks?"
"These, aren't these decorations left behind by Uzumaki Clan? Although some of the masks have some seals engraved on them, they can't be used as ninja tools."
Konoha's ninjas could not figure out the situation.
What was there to steal?
"Lord Ibiki, look at that!"
"Yes, I have seen it."
Ibiki stared at White Zetsu who was lying on the ground and was about to walk over.
Shua!
A figure had already jumped past them and appeared in front of White Zetsu.
"Hokage sama!"
"Hm, thank you for your hard work. I already know who the enemy is. Leave."
Minato looked at White Zetsu's stomach and then at the Death God's Mask on his face. He was silent.
Ibiki and the others were puzzled, but they still respectfully left.
Minato picked up the Death God's Mask.
"The chakra that suddenly appeared just now, it seems to be Kyubi. That kid's burden is really big, he actually dared to run back to the village, but this way, Kushina's soul will be free."
Minato was not feeling good in his heart.
He was a husband, saving his wife's soul was what he should do the most, but he could not do it.
Putting on the mask of death and cracking the seal of ghouls requires one's own life, which is the price.
As the Hokage, Minato said,
He could not sacrifice himself, and his character did not allow him to sacrifice others to benefit himself. This matter had dragged on until now.
"Our son has done the right thing. This is also the only correct thing he has done in the past few years."
Minato sighed. To be honest, if he turned on Sage Mode's words now, he would be able to lock onto Naruto's position and chase after him.
But this kind of thing...
"To save your mother's soul and take back the other half of Kyubi, which one is your primary goal...?"
Minato was silent. In the end, he did not do anything. This was the last time he gave in for Kushina.
The next time they met was when life and death were decided.
Naruto and Hinata fled all the way, trying their best to hide their tracks.
"Naruto, no one has caught up," Hinata said.
Naruto nodded coldly. "I guessed it. That indecisive man always likes to mix many things together."
If it were Naruto, one size equals another. You are my enemy, you saved my mother, I am grateful to you, but you must die.
The worst I can do is visit your grave a few more times a year.
At this time, Kyubi in his stomach was violently hitting the cage, trying to get out of the cage, but failed again and again.
Everything seemed to go back to the beginning.
"Give up. If you can break the seal, you won't be suppressed by Mito and my mother for decades." Naruto's spirit body appeared in front of Kyubi.
Naruto looked at Kyuubi seriously, his stern gaze was basically looking at an artifact - and it was an artifact that had been strengthened and could be used better.
These extremely insulting words and eyes made Kyubi's self-esteem unable to take it, but he could only be furious.
In the complete form of Kyubi, there was no way to directly break the top seal of the Eight Trigrams Seal.
Complete defeat.
However, it was not that there was no chance. In the end, Naruto was not Mito or Kushina. He was not proficient in sealing techniques. He only knew all the conventional tactics and did not understand seals like the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal that could suppress Bijuu.
Kyubi felt that as long as he spent a few more years and continued to erode the seal, he would be able to escape sooner or later.
Naruto also did not know how to repair the seal.
But it was another calculation. Fuck, in a few years, Naruto would probably be able to blow it up with brute strength!
Just like Senju Hashirama back then, Naruto's biggest weakness now was his chakra. As he grew older, his body continued to grow. When the growth of chakra could supply him with all kinds of powerful Mokuton techniques...
The more Kyubi thought about it, the more despair he felt. "Little brat, don't try to provoke this old man. This old man is not dead. If you live for a few decades, you will die. This old man will definitely be able to obtain freedom."
"The freedom of stuffed into the Gedo Statue?" Naruto mocked.
Kyubi was stunned. "Are you really going to hand this old man over to Nagato? Don't forget, Jinchuriki will definitely die if he loses Bijuu!"
"Hmph, I'm not stupid. How can I hand over this handy tool of yours?"
"Then there's no problem. With our combined strength, we will be able to fight Nagato in all aspects! According to the method of division proposed by you humans a few years ago, Nagato is also at Super Kage Level's level. If you join hands with me, you don't have to be afraid of him at all." Kyubi said.
It was not bragging, it really had this kind of strength.
Half of Kyubi was comparable to the sum of the other eight Bijuu - even if it was slightly inferior, it was not far off.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the whole Kyubi was half a step into Super Kage Level when Yin and Yang merged.
Otherwise, when Madara fought against Senju Hashirama back then, he wouldn't have brought it along to fight.
A normal Bijuu would have been knocked out in a single move if he had rolled into Super Kage Level's battlefield.
Only Kyubi had the qualifications to participate.
Now, with Kyubi and Naruto together... they could fight against Nagato who had fallen to the peak!
Kyubi felt that it was possible. Naruto's heart swelled, and he also felt that it was possible.
"Now, you can abandon the woman next to you. She will only be a hindrance. The woman of Hyuga's family is not qualified to stand beside you." Kyubi said.
"I need her perception. After all, I am different from the kind of person like mother, Uzumaki Clan."
"Ah, you don't understand. With this old man's help, you have the strongest perception ability of Ninja World. There is no one else!"
Kyubi grinned through the cage. "This old man will help you. The entire Ninja World is within the range of your perception. It can also let you sense the malice in other people's hearts."
Naruto did not say a word.
This was too ridiculous.
All perception of Ninja World? This should be an ability that only Sage Mode could possess after reaching the peak of perfection.
As for perception of the human heart, it was even more ridiculous. It was just Bijuu, where did he get the confidence to say such words?
"Hmph, then this old man will let you experience this state first. You can call this state... Kyubi Chakra Mode."
Kyubi maliciously stretched out his claw and placed it on Naruto's body.
In the next moment, the body of Naruto who was running at high speed suddenly changed, and a large amount of Kurenai colored chakra gushed out, making Naruto's whole body seem to transform into a ball of humanoid chakra.
Looking from afar, it looked like a burning flame.
An unprecedented power appeared on Naruto's body, and his senses crazily expanded at this moment.
"Naruto, what's wrong?" Hinata asked in surprise.
Naruto turned his head to look and vaguely sensed that Hinata had no ill intentions towards him.
This feeling was very strange. He could not know what Hinata was thinking, but he did know that the other party had no ill intentions towards him.
"Interesting, I remember that some of Uzumaki Clan has the ability to perceive the character of the other party through Chakra."
Naruto recalled the time when he was still in Konoha, using his identity as the son of the Hokage, he crazily browsed through all kinds of information, increasing his knowledge reserves in an attempt to overwhelm Sasuke.
He did not know that the Karin he had seen before had this ability.
Originally, when Sasuke attacked Five Kage Summit, Karin keenly sensed that Sasuke's chakra had become incomparably cold, which meant that Sasuke's character had changed.
The original Sasuke, after killing Orochimaru, did not kill anyone along the way, and even warned Suigetsu and Jugo not to kill anyone.
But after he killed Itachi, he learned the truth from Obito. His personality changed, becoming cold-blooded, cruel, and selfish. That little bit of gentleness in the past had long been abandoned by him.
In order to kill Danzo, Sasuke even used Chidori's sharp spear to pierce through Karin and Danzo's hearts at the same time. At that time, Sasuke had already gone crazy.
When Karin was brought back to Konoha by Naruto, she felt that Naruto's chakra was emitting a warm feeling, making people involuntarily want to be close to him.
So, top perception ability, perfect perception ability to perceive other people's character.
And Kyubi chakra mode, this perception ability was further strengthened.
"It turns out that you are hiding this ability. Very good, Kyubi chakra mode, this power will belong to me in the future."
Naruto was very satisfied with the current state.
To be able to vaguely sense the human heart and expand the range of perception, this made up for his shortcomings.
"Then, after killing that woman, she will no longer be of any use to you." Kyubi tried to tempt him.
Naruto sneered, "How could I listen to you?"
Kyubi was furious.
Naruto lightly exclaimed. In the range of his perception, the vast and vast forest of Konoha was enveloped. He sensed a familiar and strange chakra.
"What's with this chakra? It seems to be Sasuke's, but it gives me a very strange feeling."
And it was very strong.
Did Sasuke become stronger again?
Naruto narrowed his eyes and looked in a certain direction. He moved.
Hinata did not know what had happened and silently followed behind Naruto.
All of this was seen by Kabuto.
Naruto's perception ability greatly increased, and Kabuto's vision also greatly extended.
"This mode of Naruto seems to be very similar to Kyubi's Chakra mode that my brother once mentioned... But the information my brother left behind said that Kyubi's Chakra mode is golden. How is he red ? Is he unable to control Kyubi's chakra?"
Kabuto immediately analyzed this possibility.
The color of red chakra meant that the control was still in the hands of Kyubi and not Naruto.
...
Sasuke finally opened his eyes.
Whoosh!
He tore off his eyeband.
"Has the fusion been completed? Then my task has been completed." Yamato looked at the person in front of him.
"Ah, it seems that it has been successful at the moment. It has gone unexpectedly smoothly. This is really because of Indra's pupil."
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
It was still the pattern of the six-pointed star. It did not seem to have any changes, but Hitomi's strength had increased by several levels.
There would no longer be any problems with losing his sight.
Sasuke felt the true restlessness in his eyes and took a deep breath.
"This pair of eyes can also be seen clearly in the dark."
For the first time, Sasuke felt that he could actually be strong to such an extent.
It's as if you can wipe out all enemies by just using your eyes.
"When Senior Kazue successfully merged, she also felt this way. This feeling of obtaining new life and sublimation..."
Sasuke somewhat understood why after Kazue obtained Eternal Eyes, she couldn't wait to reveal the fourth stage of Susanoo.
The swelling feeling in his eyes was as if the power of a god would erupt at any time, making people intoxicated.
"With this power, I can definitely..." Sasuke lowered his head to look at his hands.
Then, he glanced again and sensed Setsuna in another room. He no longer cared about this elder.
His eyes were dug out and fused, what can Sasuke do? Just accept it and enjoy the eternal eyes that belong to him with peace of mind.
"You can act as you please." Yamato turned around.
"What about you? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"No, my mission is complete. It's time to leave."
"Wait." Sasuke called out to Yamato.
"What's the matter? If it's for the sake of Setsuna, he'll leave it to you to deal with."
"It's not Setsuna. I sensed someone who shouldn't have come here. If you go out now, you'll probably be killed by him."
Sasuke was also shocked.
Wasn't this chakra Kyubi's? Why was it in Konoha's direction?
"Is it Naruto? No, there is only half of Kyubi in Naruto's body. Did the other half escape?"
"I have to go out and take a look. The other party is probably coming for me."
"The exit is over there."
"I don't need the exit."
Susanoo!
Boom!
Half body giant smashed through the base, splitting open the surface of the earth. Sasuke took the opportunity to jump up, steadily standing on the ground.
He looked at the person.
Naruto also looked at him.
"Naruto?"
"Hmph, it really is you, Sasuke."
The two figures landed. Without any hesitation, Naruto walked forward and stood in front of Sasuke.
In silence, Hinata jumped onto a nearby big tree, silently watching these two people.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that you have released a new technique, a new way to use Kyubi's chakra?"
"You trash are still the same. I heard from an old toad that you are learning from it? You are really useless, actually compromising with a lowly beast."
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "It seems that Sage Mode has given you a lot of self-esteem."
"Not only confidence, but also has the strength to defeat you. I don't know why you are here, but it seems that you have come for me. It has been more than a year. I finally have a chance to defeat you. This time, I won't let you go."
Sasuke stared at Naruto with an even more oppressive Eternal Eye.
It was this person that he had to defeat and bring back Konoha no matter what!
Swish!
Naruto's figure instantly disappeared like a gust of wind. He appeared next to Sasuke and casually placed his arm on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Last time, you were lucky enough to survive. This time, if you attack me again, there won't be another you to save you. I will kill you."
