Its voice suddenly rose an octave, as if trying to mask some emotion: "Haha! But then!"
“That kid Minato showed up too. When you said ‘three dads’ to me back then… cough… I was actually… quite happy.”
"After all these years, apart from that bastard Six Paths Old Man, you're the first..."
"You human fools who treat me as 'family' instead of 'weapon' or 'disaster'!"
"Alright, alright! All that nonsense was a waste of time!"
Nine-Tails' voice became urgent and powerful again: "You just need to remember this!"
"No matter what you're going to do next! Who you're going to beat up! What you're going to protect!"
"I, Kurama! And that arrogant old Madara! And Minato and Kushina! We will all support you!"
"I'll always stand by your side!"
Finally, the Nine-Tails used all its strength to unleash a solemn roar that shook the entire consciousness space:
"Go! Naruto! Go and beat those bastards who dare to mess with you to a pulp!"
"My son!!!"
The last two words were like a thunderclap, yet also like the warmest vow.
It completely ignited Naruto's dying spirit!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
Outside, Minato had just placed Naruto behind a relatively safe section of broken wall and was preparing to provide more intensive first aid.
Suddenly, an indescribable, vast, and violently powerful chakra surged forth.
It burst forth suddenly from within Naruto's battered body without warning!
Golden light shot into the sky in an instant, illuminating the entire night as bright as day!
The chakra, far more concentrated, dazzling, and powerful than ever before, surged forth as if it were a tangible substance!
Minato was violently pushed back several steps by this sudden force, his face filled with extreme shock!
This chakra...this feeling...it's Kurama!
But it was far larger and warmer than the Nine-Tails' chakra he knew?
And it was filled with a certain resolute will!
Under his watchful eye, the horrific wounds on Naruto's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The broken bones automatically reconnect and heal!
Her pale complexion instantly regained its rosy hue!
A more solid and magnificent chakra cloak, like one burning with golden flames, instantly materialized!
Behind it, one, two, three... a total of nine huge and majestic tails made of pure golden chakra suddenly unfurled.
Like a peacock spreading its tail, or like a deity descending, it exuded a powerful aura that made heaven and earth tremble!
The perfect Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
Moreover, it is the strongest form that has received the complete approval and unreserved support of the Nine-Tails!
Nine-Lama Link Mode!
Naruto's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!
Those deep blue eyes had turned orange-red, and the pupils had transformed into fox-like vertical pupils!
His pupils burned with a flame as intense as the sun, along with an unprecedented determination and power!
He slowly rose from the ground, his nine golden tails gradually disappearing into his golden chakra cloak.
His gaze, sharp as a sword, instantly traversed countless distances, locking onto the enormous mechanical nine-tailed creature in the distance.
And... the direction of Sasuke being devoured!
The time for revenge has come!
The true power of the Tailed Beasts has descended!
Chapter 328 The Real Battle! It's Only Just Beginning!
Sasuke's consciousness space was a cold, lifeless, and seemingly eternally unchanging darkness.
This place should have been a reflection of his inner world, but now it has been tainted by the evil aura of an uninvited guest.
Orochimaru's soul manifested here in his unique, serpentine form, his golden snake eyes filled with endless greed and ecstasy.
He felt the surging, youthful, and powerful energy belonging to the Uchiha clan all around him, and took a deep, intoxicating breath.
"Perfect... Absolutely perfect! This body, these eyes, this potential... far surpasses all my previous vessels!"
He stretched out his illusory hand, eager to touch, assimilate, and completely take over the core of this space.
He completely erased the consciousness of Uchiha Sasuke and took possession of the body.
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the faint ball of light representing Sasuke's consciousness—
A strong, powerful arm covered in layers of red armor suddenly emerged from the darkness behind him without warning.
With speed beyond comprehension, he seized Orochimaru's soul by the throat!
That palm contained an indescribable power, as weighty as the earth and as vast as a forest.
It instantly immobilized all his movements!
A calm, gentle yet authoritative male voice rang in his ear.
His tone carried a hint of surprise:
"Oh? This chakra... Orochimaru? I didn't expect it was you causing trouble here."
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
That voice... that voice he could never forget!
It's that man!
That man known as the "God of Ninjas"!
“No… Impossible!!”
Orochimaru's soul trembled violently from extreme shock and fear, his voice distorted: "Hashirama Senju?! Your soul... should have been completely sealed away by Minato Namikaze long ago! How could you possibly be here?!"
With a sudden burst of force, the arm flung Orochimaru's soul away as if throwing away trash.
Orochimaru rolled around in the dark space for a long time before he could barely steady himself.
Orochimaru looked up in horror and saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.
Layered red armor, long black hair, a Konoha headband on his forehead, and a smile as bright as sunshine yet incredibly dignified on his face—
Who else could it be but the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?!
"Who knows?"
Hashirama crossed his arms, tilted his head, his smile unchanged, but his eyes sharpened: "Perhaps the Fourth Hokage deliberately left a 'gap' in the seal that even I didn't notice?"
"Or perhaps, it's some deeper cause and effect?"
"After all, the world is so big and full of wonders, it's not surprising that something strange happens."
Orochimaru sensed the soul power emanating from Hashirama, a power even stronger, more solid, and more vibrant than the one he had summoned using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
A chilling despair washed over him instantly. He forced himself to remain calm and screamed, "You can't kill me! Hashirama Senju!"
"My soul and Sasuke's soul are currently in the crucial fusion phase of the Reincarnation Technique!"
"If I am destroyed here, Sasuke's consciousness will collapse as well! He will die too!"
He tried to use Sasuke's life as leverage.
Upon hearing this, Hashirama's smile faded slightly, and he shook his head: "I'm just responsible for protecting Sasuke's safety and preventing filthy snakes, insects, and rats from invading his home."
His gaze passed over Orochimaru and landed on the deeper darkness behind him, his tone becoming somewhat playful: "As for you... there are naturally more suitable people to deal with you."
Orochimaru was taken aback, and alarm bells rang in his mind!
A more suitable person?
He instinctively followed Hashirama's gaze and abruptly turned to look behind him—
All that could be seen was that endless dark void.
A pair of scarlet eyes, like the flames of hell, suddenly lit up without warning!
The three tomoe in its eyes were spinning wildly, faster and faster.
Finally, it abruptly stopped, merged, and transformed...
It sketched out a complex and eerie pattern that he had never seen before, yet contained endless anger, sorrow, and power!
Mangekyō Sharingan!
Under the gaze of those newly formed Mangekyou Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru felt as if his soul had been frozen!
The next second, an unimaginably vast, extremely condensed, cold and violent spiritual force emerged.
Like a real tsunami, it suddenly erupted from those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, instantly sweeping across the entire consciousness space!
"What?! No—!!!"
Orochimaru let out a terrified scream, using all his soul power to try to resist the impact of the eye power originating from the deepest bloodline of the Uchiha!
However, before this kaleidoscope, which has just awakened from the immense emotional shock of experiencing extreme pain, the "death" of a close friend, and the invasion of its own being.
His resistance was as fragile as paper!
His soul was brutally and mercilessly ripped from Sasuke's consciousness by this terrifying mental storm.
Like fallen leaves in a storm, they were instantly driven away!
The giant white-scaled serpent that had just devoured Sasuke suddenly let out a painful hiss!
Its massive body twisted and rolled violently, as if undergoing some terrible struggle within, crushing the surrounding ruins to dust!
