After Naruto settled Jiraiya's matter, he returned to Root's base.
One thing to check was the progress of the "Public Opinion Warfare" plan and the other was to wait for the dark.
It's time to find a companion for Little Nine. One Tail looks like a civet cat and it must have been cute when it was a child.
Naruto now wants to gather all of the Tailed Beasts to step into the realm of Six Paths.
Although he did not have Yang Chakra, which should have been given by the Sage of Six Paths, but for now, he was the first in strength, after the Sage of Six Paths.
Of course, this assumption is only valid till Kaguya escapes from the seal. After she escapes, only "Six Paths – Chibaku Tensei", which combines Yin and Yang escape techniques, can stop her.
But there can also be a situation, where Naruto completes his blood evolution and is promoted to Ōtsutsuki before that. He will also gain all of the abilities that Kaguya has.
As he was thinking of abilities, Naruto had the idea of trying to collect the "Gedo Statue" by himself. "Gedo Statue", combined with his own Chakra + the nine-tailed beasts, will allow him to become Ten Tails Jinchūriki and gain Six Paths Sage Mode.
"It seems that it can be possible! After I am able to summon another real clone, I will find a way to let him sneak into Akatsuki, take the opportunity to touch the "Gedo Statue" and then store it..."
Naruto, now, came to the conclusion that this shortcut can be tried.
"Naruto big brother!"
"Karin."
When Naruto returned to the base, he saw Karin wandering outside.
"How is it? Have you learned the sealing technique?"
"Not yet... Most of these techniques seem a bit difficult to understand. However, "The Mind's Eye of Kagura" and "Adamantine Sealing Chains" were easy to understand. I learned them at a glance."
Karin said embarrassedly.
Karin had been living in the base these days. There is no sunshine here. The people around her are either Naruto's Shadow Clone, or Root ninja with a blank face. This makes her a little bored. But she still felt that her freedom now was a blessing for her and she should be happy about this.
The only thing is that, in terms of learning, Karin herself had not received any systematic education and had no guidance. She had been looking at seal ninjutsu scrolls that she couldn't even understand and this was giving her a headache.
There are only two ninjutsu that do not require the understanding of the technique and she had mastered them completely without a teacher.
"That's good. Unfortunately, I am also a half-baked ninja."
Naruto was feeling helpless, as he is still the tail of the crane in theory. Thus learning ninjutsu was not possible for him and he couldn't teach Karin.
As for Danzo? Forget it, maybe because he is now a reincarnated person, he doesn't care about Naruto at all. He even mumbles curses at him at every turn.
Although it seems that he has recently changed from scolding Naruto to Third Hokage. He has been aggrieved by the fact that the Third Hokage has become Hokage again and makes decisions against him after becoming Hokage.
Fortunately, he is a reanimated person. He doesn't feel tired and can talk for 24 hours straight.
"May I go see mother... er, I mean, may I go see Aunt Kushina?"
Karin said it without a thought, but then remembering the meaning of this address made her blush and embarrassed.
'It's embarrassing to call her that even though she's not yet married to Naruto~'
"Kushina..."
Naruto pondered for a while. Then, abruptly, a surge of scarlet Chakra erupted from his body, changing Naruto's transformation into the tailed beast mode.
This abrupt movement attracted the attention of everyone within the base. In an instant, whether they were Shadow Clones or ninjas, they all converged around these two.
"What are you doing?"
'Danzo'(clone) walked over with a cane, looking at Naruto strangely.
Are you so bored that you wish to unleash your power?
"I also want to know what's going on." Naruto said speechlessly.
This was the first time that he found himself in such a situation. It appears that Kurama should be out of its seal.
"Hmph! Sure enough, Nine Tails Jinchūriki are all inconceivable!"
The real Danzo looked at Naruto and said,
"Do you have nothing to do? More work should be arranged for you. You are a good 24-hour tool man. It is too wasteful to keep you idle."
"Indeed. Danzo. Let's go to the intelligence room, where a lot of information is left to organise."
One of Naruto clones said as he led the way for Danzo.
"Uzumaki Naruto! You demon! I hope you will die miserably!!"
"So noisy."
Naruto dug his ears and walked into the office with a contemplated look on his face. He needed to enter the sealed space to see what Kurama was doing.
"Naruto big brother…"
"It's okay, Karin. Just wait a moment."
Naruto comforted Karin and then his consciousness sank into his body.
Even though Naruto has severed the connection between the sealed space and the outside world, it does not mean that Kurama's Chakra has also been blocked. Especially now that Kurama has been released from the seal.
Sealed space.
"Kushina, please stop! You might startle Naruto!"
"Kurama, stay put. Aren't you worried that Naruto will get hurt?"
Minato was getting anxious. These two had bad tempers. And they fought ceaselessly.
In the vast space in Naruto's body, at that moment, Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains had turned into five chains and were tightly wrapped around Kurama's neck, claws and half of the body. Simultaneously, the remaining chains followed behind in pursuit.
Kurama even opened his mouth and started to condense the Tailed Beast Bomb...
The atmosphere was heating up.
Kushina: "Make that bastard stop first!"
Kurama: "Make your crazy wife take back the chain!"
Minato: "…"
You are all bosses. I can't afford to mess with you.
"You guys are having a great time. Are you celebrating your freedom, Kurama?"
Naruto appeared suddenly and stepped on Kurama's head, saying that.
"Naruto!?"
Kushina's gaze shifted towards the figure that suddenly appeared above, prompting her to retract the chains. She looked at Naruto with tears in her eyes.
"Cough...I was just excited."
Kurama said embarrassedly as it gathered its emotions.
It still remembers Naruto's threat. And he didn't want a Nine-Tailed little sister.
"Sigh..." Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Naruto has come, it will be easy.
"Don't be too excited buddy."
Naruto patted Kurama's big head and jumped off.
"Do you want to go out? Karin seems to have encountered a problem in learning the sealing technique. You should be able to teach her."
"Naruto! Woohoo..." Kushina was just about to pounce.
"I take it as your consent."
In an instant, Naruto vanished in a flash.
"Naruto? Minato... does Naruto hate me?" Kushina looked at Minato disappointed.
"Cough, no, it's just because he's been used to being alone for more than ten years. He hasn't adapted to the sudden addition of parents, so let's not worry and give him some time, shall we?"
"Also, we can go out now. Haven't you always wanted to go out and explore? Besides, Karin still needs your guidance."
"Indeed!"
Before releasing the souls of Minato and Kushina, he still needs to communicate with his physical clone.
Anyway, the root is now his. Thus there is no need to worry about confidentiality measures or anything. As long as he explains it clearly to Minato and the others.
"You said you were going to let them out? What did they say?"
'Danzo' looked at his own body suspiciously.
"This...wait a moment."
Naruto said and released Minato first.
"Naruto...here… Elder Danzo?"
As soon as Minato came out, he saw someone he didn't like. Thus, he frowned and became vigilant.
"Don't worry. I'm a clone of the main body." Danzo said and lifted the transfiguration.
"What is going on?"
"The truth is, I killed Danzo and took Root base in my hands," Naruto explained.
"Kill Danzo? Why?" Minato was even more dazed.
"The reason why I was regarded by the villagers as the incarnation of the demon fox, at the beginning, was because Danzo had spread rumours about me. This transferred the hatred of the villagers, who suffered from the Nine-Tails and had lost their homes and relatives, to me. So the ignorant villagers began to hate and dislike me."
"Both of them, the Third Hokage in the light and Danzo in the dark, did this so that they could completely control me. As for the other things, when you talk to my clone, he will tell you everything. "
Naruto said and looked at his clone, "We can properly reveal our plan."
"Oohh." The clone nodded.
"I see." Minato understood a little the reason why Naruto killed Danzo.
"Now, I will entrust you with the explanation…... If you have any questions, you can ask my clone directly. Karin, come here."
Naruto called Karin to come over to deal with Kushina, as Karin should be enough.
"See you later f-father!" Karin exclaimed.
"Uh..." Minato glanced at Naruto and found that Naruto was probably unaware about Kushina's attempt of matchmaking between him and Karin.
"Anyway, I'm leaving first."
"By the way, there may be some problems with my clone's thoughts. So don't take it to heart."
Naruto then brought out Kushina's soul. But before leaving, he whispered a warning to Minato and then the main body left the base.
Minato nodded confusedly. There is a problem with the clone's thoughts? What does that mean?
"Minato? Karin! Naruto!!"
As soon as Kushina came out and saw Naruto, she embraced Naruto again with red eyes.
Minato thought that the clone would dodge like the main body, but it turned out...
"Mom!"
"Naruto! Woohoo..."
Minato: '...Is this the difference between the so-called clone and the main body?'
After a while, Kushina was finally willing to let go of Naruto. Then she pulled Karin aside and started to whisper.
Minato: "You..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay… Um… What will you call me?"
Minato looked at the clone expectantly. Although the clone is different from the main body, it is also somewhat similar, so he doesn't mind.
"Elder brother??"
"Alright. I will call you brother and you can call me son. How about it?"
The cloned Naruto placed his hand on Minato's shoulder with familiarity. But Minato's face was full of black lines.
Did he say that this clone has a problem with his thoughts?
This is not just a problem at all?!
Naruto, what kind of clones are these?!
...
