****************
Although Obito had obtained the chakra of all the tailed beasts, he was still very unhappy.
He felt that Orochimaru had the upper hand throughout their negotiation and was manipulating him.
Black Zetsu emerged and frowned, "Why did you agree to Orochimaru's request?"
"Do you have a better solution?" Obito asked rhetorically.
He knew that he shouldn't have, but he didn't have any other options.
Black Zetsu said nothing, unable to refute Obito for the moment.
"You must obtain the Nine-Tails from Uzumaki Naruto's body. Otherwise, the Ten-Tails will be incomplete, and it will take a long time to fully awaken."
"I understand. You don't need to remind me."
The chakra of the other tailed beasts was necessary because they originated from the Ten-Tails.
But the Nine-Tails was the top priority.
He had to get the Nine-Tails to be sure he could crush Orochimaru.
That wasn't the only reason Obito agreed to Orochimaru's deal.
He was also aware of Black Zetsu's existence.
Obito knew clearly that Black Zetsu's allegiance was not to him, but to the deceased Uchiha Madara.
To control him, Madara had placed a jutsu on his heart.
Given the chance, Black Zetsu would definitely bring Madara back to life.
"Where are Sasuke and Kisame?"
"Uchiha Sasuke's eyes have just evolved. The two are still in the Land of Lightning."
Obito nodded, "Get them back as soon as possible. I have a task for Sasuke."
**********
In Konoha, Land of Fire.
The request for the Five Kage Summit was unanimously approved, with the location set in the Land of Iron.
However, such a significant event couldn't be prepared in a day or two.
There was still about a week before the departure date.
During this week, Colt spent almost every day with Naruto, helping him master the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode as quickly as possible.
As for the evenings, he naturally spent them with his girlfriends, practicing their own special techniques.
Within the sealed space.
The iron gate sealing the Nine-Tails had been completely opened, with Naruto and the Nine-Tails facing each other.
On the side, Colt was lounging on a sun chair, while Kushina and Minato were cuddled together, seemingly with endless things to discuss.
"Kurama! Here I come!"
Over the past few days, the Nine-Tails had told everyone his real name.
He was simply sick of being called the Nine Tails.
That, and he finally seemed to understand what was at stake.
Naruto shouted energetically, but Kurama snorted in disdain.
"[Super-Big Ball Rasengan]!"
A [Rasengan] the size of a house condensed in Naruto's hand. He leaped high and smashed it towards Kurama.
Kurama didn't even look up, sweeping Naruto away with a tail.
"Hey, what's with that stinky fox's attitude? How dare he treat my Naruto like this!"
Kushina bristled, her hair rising like tentacles.
Minato quickly grabbed her, "Didn't we agree to let Naruto defeat Kurama alone so he can earn his approval?"
Although Kurama had agreed to help Naruto practice the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, there was one condition: Naruto had to defeat him here on his own.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be convincing.
The most important prerequisite for becoming a perfect Jinchūriki was to connect with the tailed beast.
Naruto had agreed without hesitation.
He also wanted to defeat the Nine-Tails in a dignified manner, not to mention it allowed him to stay in this space for a while to be with his parents.
Colt was there to maintain the existence of Minato and Kushina, using the healing technique to replenish their energy from time to time.
Looking at the anxious Kushina, Naruto suddenly felt full of power.
"[Shadow Clone Jutsu]!"
"[Super-Big Ball Rasenshuriken]!"
Hundreds of mighty Shadow Clones held their giant [Rasenshuriken] high and rushed towards Kurama.
Quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and even Kurama had to take such a terrifying power seriously.
"Naruto's chakra is truly terrifying. He can use such a powerful jutsu hundreds of times at once," Minato said admiringly.
In the sealed space, Naruto no longer had to suppress the Nine-Tails, and his chakra reserves, hundreds of times that of Kakashi, were fully displayed.
"Well, he is our son after all," Kushina looked proud.
Colt watched from a distance.
He watched Naruto's fight with anticipation. As Naruto was his friend after all.
"[Adamantine Sealing Chains]!"
Half an hour later, Naruto was exhausted, and Kushina watched as the unscathed Kurama took the opportunity to attack.
Countless chains full of sealing runes emanated from her body, binding Kurama tightly.
Kurama's expression matched Colt's.
He knew this would happen.
For days, this crazy woman had relied on Colt to restore her energy, taking the opportunity to get revenge when she saw her son being bullied.
This same scene had repeated countless times.
Damn Uzumaki clan, their ability to restrain tailed beasts was truly deadly.
"Let's end it here for today."
Colt appeared instantly by Kurama's side and waved his hand to loosen the chains.
Then he formed a seal to reseal Kurama.
Kurama looked at Colt suspiciously.
The seal had been open recently, so why was it being used again today?
"I'm leaving the village to attend the Five Kage Summit. To prevent accidents, it's better to lock you up for now," Colt explained.
"But don't worry, it will automatically open every day when Naruto comes in to practice."
Minato's expression became serious. He had learned a lot about the outside world these past few days.
His intuition told him that this was a crisis that the entire ninja world must face together.
Especially concerning the existence of the masked man.
"Colt, you must be careful about everything on this trip," Minato said with concern.
Colt nodded, "Don't worry, I'll protect myself and Tsunade-sama."
"But you won't be able to come out of the seal these few days."
Kushina immediately looked at Naruto worriedly.
Naruto gave a hearty smile, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll definitely defeat Kurama, right Kurama?"
Kurama didn't speak, but Colt could see it.
After getting along these days, Kurama was gradually accepting Naruto.
Asura's infectious power was undeniable.
It was just that, out of pride, Kurama didn't want Naruto to succeed so easily.
