Naruto hodgepodge

Chapter 53 The Arrival of the Nine-Tail

Naruto's consciousness slowly awakened in the chaos, accompanied by an unprecedented sense of spatial distortion, as if his body was torn apart by an invisible force and then reassembled in another dimension. This strong sense of dizziness came like a tide, completely submerging him in the unknown. When he was finally able to open his eyes, the scene in front of him had changed drastically, and a sealed space full of strangeness and weirdness appeared in front of him.

This space is beyond the mundane world, but not as eerie as the movie hell. It seems to be in the depths of a deep and mysterious dark cave. There is no bright sunshine during the day, nor the quiet stars at night. There is only endless darkness like a heavy curtain, shutting out all light.

Naruto stood in such an environment, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear and curiosity in his heart. He took cautious steps, and each step seemed to step on the vein of time, which made his heart beat faster, but he couldn't resist the desire for the unknown. He looked around, trying to find any clues that could explain all this, but he could not see anything except darkness and light.

At this moment, a deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the space. It seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, coming from all directions at the same time, and it seemed to sound directly in Naruto's heart. The voice contained an indescribable power, which made Naruto's body tremble involuntarily.

"Come here, Naruto." The voice was deep and magnetic, like an old friend calling a lost traveler.

Naruto turned around abruptly, his eyes piercing through the darkness, pointing directly at the direction where the sound came from. There, a huge mass of red chakra was slowly condensing into shape, so huge that it seemed to be able to swallow up the entire space. As the chakra condensed, a hideous and complex face gradually appeared in front of Naruto - it was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the legendary powerful tailed beast.

However, unlike the violent and ruthless image in Naruto's mind, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in front of him had an indescribable light in its eyes. That light contained both the joy of reunion after a long separation and recognition of Naruto's courage and innocence. Although its face was ferocious, it looked unusually gentle at this moment, as if a kind elder was gazing at his child.

"You know my name, you...you are the Nine-Tails, right?" Naruto asked in surprise.

Kurama raised his head slightly, and his golden eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He nodded gently, and his voice was full of affirmation and appreciation for Naruto: "Yes, I am the Nine-Tails. There are not many people in this world who know and call me by my name. You have no fear when facing me. I recognize you, and I allow you to call me by my name - Kurama."

"Ku Lama..." Naruto whispered softly, the name rolling on the tip of his tongue. Lama means living Buddha, it's strange to think that a fox is a Buddha. His eyes fell on the cages around him involuntarily. On the cold iron pillar, a big "Seal" word was clearly visible. The nine-tailed demon fox was not good at disguising its emotions. The warmth and relief of reuniting with old friends revealed in its eyes made Naruto believe that there was indeed some special connection between them.

"Kurouma... It seems I have arrived at your sealed place." Naruto spoke slowly, with a hint of uncertainty and curiosity in his voice, "Are you familiar with me? I can feel that the way you look at me is different, full of... complexity."

When Jiu Lama heard this, a gentle light flashed in his golden eyes. He slowly stood up, and his huge body made the cage seem to tremble. The atmosphere in the space also became solemn. He began to tell his story, and his voice was filled with the vicissitudes and precipitation of the years.

"I am a tailed beast formed from one of the nine chakras that the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo separated from the Ten-Tails. I have been a symbol of hatred and resentment since ancient times." Kurama's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the barriers of time and space. "At the end of the Warring States Period in the Ninja World, I was controlled by Uchiha Madara with the Sharingan and became a sharp blade in his hand. However, after that battle, I was sealed by Konoha's first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and imprisoned in the body of his wife Uzumaki Mito."

When Naruto heard the last name "Uzumaki", his heart was moved. He knew that his last name was also Uzumaki, and this last name was closely related to an important figure in Konoha's history. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Uzumaki Mito? Is she also from the Uzumaki clan? This... this is too coincidental."

Kurama nodded and continued, "Yes, the Uzumaki clan is famous for its huge amount of chakra and superb sealing techniques. After Mito, the second Jinchūriki was your mother, Uzumaki Kushina. She also possessed amazing chakra and sealing techniques. Until six years ago, I was sealed in your body again."

Hearing this, Naruto felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He had never thought that his mother was such a remarkable person, and he had never expected that he had such a deep connection with her. "It's Uzumaki again..." He muttered to himself, "It seems that my last name is really unusual. Uzumaki Kushina... 6 years ago... Was she my mother?"

Seeing this, Kurama shook his head helplessly. He knew that Naruto was full of questions and curiosity, but now was not the time to answer all the questions. "Yes, she is your mother. However, please allow me to continue." He interrupted Naruto's thoughts and continued, "After you became the new Jinchūriki, you started as an ordinary Genin and experienced countless challenges and difficulties. Your growth path was full of hardships and difficulties, but you also proved your worth with your courage and persistence."

However, Naruto couldn't hold back. He had just learned his mother's name and identity, and his heart was filled with the desire to know more about her. But Kurama jumped directly to the story of what happened after he became a Genin, which made him a little puzzled. "Wait... Kurama, I..." He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Kurama again.

"I know you have a lot of questions and curiosity, but now is not the time." Kurama's big eyes stared at Naruto, "I am going to tell you a story about your future and the fate of the entire world. It then describes the invasion of Akatsuki's Pain, the Fourth Ninja World War, Uchiha Madara, the Ten-Tails, the Divine Tree, Kaguya, Nihashira, and then becoming the Seventh Hokage... and then starting with the invasion of Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki during the Chunin Exam, and later Otsutsuki Isshiki, his death... these are all the challenges and crises you will face."

Naruto couldn't help but have tears in his eyes as he listened to Kurama's story. He rubbed his eyes, trying to keep himself awake and focused. However, questions flooded in his mind like a tide: "Are you... telling me a story? One moment it's a passionate and inspiring struggle history, the next moment it turns into a tragic family history, and finally it even involves elements of a time-travel novel... Do you think I'm a child and need you to coax me in this way?"

Kurama was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Naruto to react like this. But then he sighed again, his golden eyes full of seriousness and determination: "Naruto, this is my story, and it is also your story. The connection between us is much deeper than you can imagine. Please believe that everything I say is true. Because... you are the hope of this world."

Naruto stared at Kurama, his eyes showing both doubt and trust. He slowly said, "Your story is indeed beyond imagination, but I am willing to believe you. After all, I also have fragments of foreseeing the future, although the specific memories of those stories you told about me are not clear...well...after all, you have been sleeping, so you don't know the details...You only came out when my life was in danger. However, if this is not the pure past, but the node of another parallel world, then the problem becomes complicated. Where did the Kurama in this world go? It is impossible for it to disappear for no reason, right?"

Hearing this, Jiu Lama frowned and fell into deep thought. It slowly said: "Your statement makes me begin to question my own cognition. In the time I have experienced, this place is undoubtedly the past, but when I was in your body, I did feel the subtle difference in the world. In particular, your existence is completely different from the you who was shrouded in hatred and pain in my memory. I thought it was just because you did not lose control when you were three years old, and I tried not to interfere with your growth afterwards, but now it seems that these changes are far more profound than I thought."

Naruto nodded and continued to analyze calmly: "As the old saying goes, 'A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America occasionally flaps its wings, which can cause a tornado in Texas, USA two weeks later.' These small changes between us may have quietly triggered great changes in the future world. Perhaps it is the shadow of fate that I could not escape in another world. But here, we have the opportunity to change everything."

Jiu Lama seemed a little confused and a little anxious: "What proverb? The Amazon River Basin in South America? America? Another world... the future? If this is true, then aren't we fighting against the unknown fate and the torrent of time at the same time? This is incredible!"

Naruto patted the pillar that sealed the gate, "Don't worry about the details. Yes, it's incredible, but it's also very exciting. We are no longer prisoners of fate, but authors who can write our own future. Whether this world is in the past, present or future, nothing is impossible!"

Jiu Lama's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. He murmured to himself: "Is this really the world I know? Or is this just an illusory nightmare?"

Naruto looked at Kurama, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He whispered softly, "Who knows? Dreams and reality are twins of the soul. They are intertwined and difficult to separate. In dreams, we weave wishes and fears, and reality is the real stage for us to experience these emotions. Perhaps every moment we experience is the product of the interweaving of reality and illusion, which together shape our existence. When immersed in the abyss of imagination, we are weaving a parallel time and space that belongs to us alone, where the rules are made by the heart, the scenes change with the heart, and every thought is the cornerstone of building that world. However, when the dawn breaks, the curtain of dreams slowly falls. Next, we return to the other side of the so-called "reality". Isn't this the beginning of another journey? Reality and dreams are like two adjacent but independent universes, reflecting each other and running different laws. There may be some subtle and profound connection between them, just like ourselves in the mirror, familiar and strange, which makes people wonder: What is real? What is illusion? Perhaps, the boundary between reality and illusion is blurred, and they together constitute the whole meaning of our existence. At every moment of waking up from a dream, we not only leave the world woven by imagination, but also gain a deeper understanding and perception of life at the intersection of two time and space. "

Kurama was confused by what he heard. He shook his head and interrupted Naruto's philosophical thinking: "Forget it, forget it. What you said is too profound. My head is going to explode. The biggest difference is you. You always come up with new tricks. Now, go and have a rest. I need some quiet time."

Naruto smiled bitterly. He understood Kurama's annoyance, so he changed the subject: "Okay, I understand. But, Kurama, can you tell me how to leave here and return to the so-called 'real world'?"

The corner of Jiu Lama's mouth curled up with a teasing smile: "This is your spiritual space, you can enter and exit as you please. You were pulled in by me because your chakra and mental strength were exhausted. As a gift for our first meeting, I will give you a ride."

After saying that, the Nine-Tailed Fox gently waved its huge claws, and the small hole in the sealed space suddenly shone brightly, like a portal to another world. At this moment, a black shadow took advantage of the cover of the light and quietly slipped out of the space and drilled into Naruto's body. After the light dissipated, Naruto found himself back in the familiar room, and the voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox echoed in his heart: "Remember, Naruto, no matter when and where, as long as you want to see me, just call my name."

Naruto's consciousness had just awakened, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented abundance of chakra surging in his body, but this power was mixed with an ominous omen, as if an external will was trying to forcefully invade the depths of his soul. This will carried an ancient and deep malice, like a strong wind in the dark night, sweeping every inch of his consciousness.

As this will approached, Naruto's chakra began to churn violently, like a huge wave blown up by a strong wind, unable to calm down. His eyes gradually lost their former clarity and turned red as blood, revealing a kind of coldness and determination that did not belong to him. At the same time, an indescribable roar echoed in his heart. It was the angry and unwilling cry of the Nine-Tails, and it seemed to be looking for an opportunity to break free from its restraints.

At the moment when this will was about to completely invade Naruto's body, the power of the Nine-Tails in his body seemed to be completely awakened, and a red light suddenly burst out, completely engulfing Naruto's body. In the light, Naruto's figure gradually blurred, and finally turned into a huge fox with red eyes. The evil and violent chakra emanating from his body impacted everything around him like a substance.

With a deafening roar, the red fox suddenly broke through the room that bound it, wood chips flew, dust rose, and the whole house turned into ruins in an instant. The red fox rushed into the sky of Konoha Village with a destructive aura. The evil chakra emanating from its body enveloped the entire village like a dark cloud, making every villager who felt this power feel fear, as if the end of the world was about to come.

At this moment, Konoha Village seemed to be caught in an unprecedented crisis, and the source of all this was Uzumaki Naruto, who had transformed into a nine-tailed demon fox and descended on the land of Konoha again six years later with the will to destroy everything.
