Chapter 71: chapter 63
Chapter 63~kurama is free now
Naruto gazed at his father, his only desire being to reveal how the village he held dear treated him. And so, he did just that.
Minato looked at his son, filled with disbelief. How could the villagers treat his son this way?
.
He had entrusted Hiruzen to care for Naruto, but it seemed that trust had been misplaced. Instead of protection, Naruto had been treated as a tool, manipulated for Hiruzen's own gain.
Naruto looked at his father. ''Do you feel guilty, father?'' Naruto spoke to him. Minato remained silent.
.
''Yes, you should feel guilty for what you did to your son,'' Naruto continued.
A Rasengan began to take shape in his hand. He slammed it into his father. His upper body was incinerated, only to reform again.
.
Naruto slammed his Rasengan into his father once more, incinerating him anew.
Minato remained silent.
"I want to do this for a long time" Naruto spoke as he dispersed the Rasengan.
He simply needed to release his anger on his father for choosing the village over him.
.
"Did you feel good?" Minato spoke to him.
.
Naruto nodded and looked at his father. "Do you know why I summoned you?" Naruto asked.
Minato nodded in response. "Yes, I understand. You summoned me to take the other half of the fox from me," he conveyed to his son.
.
"Yes," Naruto affirmed, nodding to his father. He acknowledged that the decision to seal Kurama inside him had been made by his father.
He couldn't change anything; it had been his father's decision to save the village, not their family.
What could he do? The past was set, but a brighter future lay ahead of him.
.
Naruto remained silent. He walked toward Minato and placed his hand on his abdomen.
A surge of power emanated from within him. Deep inside Naruto, Kurama sensed the presence of his other half. Impatience brewed within Kurama as he yearned to reunite and make himself whole once more.
.
Kurama held the belief that completing himself was an unattainable goal, especially since his other half had been sealed within the Shinigami's belly.
But now, the opportunity presented itself as he stood face-to-face with his other half. The Yin half within Minato also sensed the presence of its counterpart.
As Naruto placed his left hand on his body, the seal on Minato's form illuminated, revealing intricate black markings.
.
Naruto's hand emitted a vibrant red glow. he began the process of extracting the Yin half from his father's being.
*crack*
"Ah!" Naruto felt immense pain coursing through his body. He had never experienced this type of agony before. His face grew pale, and beads of sweat formed on his skin.
.
It was as if his soul had been pierced by thousands of needles.
He swiftly pulled his hand back.
.
"Naruto... are you okay?" Minato spoke his expression one of concern. He couldn't bear to see his son in pain.
Naruto looked up, his body drenched in sweat. He saw the worry in his father's eyes. Nodding, he replied, 'I am fine.'
.
"Naruto, the seal is cracking," he heard a voice in his head.
Kurama, who was confined within the seal's space in Naruto's mindscape, began to witness cracks forming.
He didn't understand why, but when the Yin chakra started to enter the seal, these cracks began to appear.
.
Feeling pain, Naruto could sense the cracks spreading within his mindscape.
Swiftly, he pulled up his shirt and infused chakra into his seal.
Black markings began to emerge on his abdomen. 'hmm... what is this...' Naruto spoke in a hushed voice.
.
He could see the small cracks on the seal, with small gaps appearing within it. It felt as if the seal could break at any moment.
"The seal is starting to break," Minato said with deep concern.
"And if this seal breaks, you will die, Naruto," he spoke, his gaze fixed on his son.
.
"Why is this happening?" Naruto pondered for a moment.
He then nodded his head. "I understand," he said to his father.
"This seal was only meant to contain the Yang half of Kurama. If another energy enters the seal, it will begin to break," Naruto explained to his father.
.
The cracks began to appear when he infused the Yin chakra of Kurama into the seal.
However, this seal was not designed to contain the full power of Kurama.
When Minato sealed Kurama into his infant body, he crafted the seal to only accommodate half of Kurama's power.
.
It was evident to Naruto that he couldn't contain the entirety of Kurama within the seal without causing it to break
If the seal were to break, he would die. It was a clearly defined rule that when the bijuu is separated from the jinchuriki, the jinchuriki's life is forfeit.
"I have no intention of dying," Naruto said to himself.
.
Kurama observed this and was certain that if Naruto were to infuse more chakra into the seal, it would break, resulting in Naruto's death.
Kurama couldn't bear to lose his only friend.
Let's stop, Naruto. I don't want the Yin half," Kurama said to his friend. He didn't want to lose his friend.
In centuries, he had found someone who didn't hate him. Naruto was his one and only true friend, and he couldn't let him die.
If Naruto died and he became whole again, he didn't want it.
.
Naruto sensed Kurama's emotions.
.
"Haha," Naruto laughed. "You don't have to worry about me, Kurama... I'm not going to die that easily." Naruto spoke to his friend.
How could he die? He hadn't become the strongest in the entire elemental nations, and he hadn't accomplished his goals. How could he die without fulfilling his aspirations?
There was someone waiting for him, after all.
.
Minato and Kurama were puzzled. They didn't know how he would go about it.
Minato's gears started to spin in his head.
He gazed at his son. 'Naruto, are you planning to do that?' he asked, his concern evident. He didn't want his son to execute that jutsu—it could harm his soul.
.
"Naruto had a grin on his face as he glanced at the man bound by his chains.
The man felt a chill run down his spine when he met Naruto's crimson and intense eyes.
"Be ready, Kurama. You're getting out of this seal," Naruto spoke.
.
Kurama was confused by his remark. He wasn't going to risk Naruto's life by getting out of the seal.
But before Kurama could speak, Naruto grabbed the Shinigami mask and placed it over his face.
.
He was going to summon the Shinigami again.
He intended to extract Kurama from the seal with the Shinigami's assistance, without succumbing to death.
This was reminiscent of when Minato had summoned the Shinigami during his birth to split Kurama into two parts—one sealed inside Naruto, and the other sealed within Minato.
.
But during that time, Minato didn't utilize a Shinigami mask or require any sacrifice.
He had summoned the Death God without the Uzumaki mask and sacrificed himself.
But this time, Naruto didn't intend to sacrifice himself.
.
As Naruto put the mask on his face, the temperature dropped and cold winds began to blow. The aura of death descended upon Naruto.
But this was his second time summoning the Shinigami, and he wasn't as intimidated as before.
.
Naruto began to perform hand signs, and a grayish figure with white hair and a dagger in its mouth started to materialize behind him.
Mentally, Naruto conveyed his intentions, giving commands to the Shinigami.
.
One of the Shinigami's hands pierced Naruto, while the second hand reached toward the man.
Inside the mindscape, Kurama felt chills running down his spine.
He had experienced this sensation once before.
Before he could react, a hand emerged in the mindscape, grabbing Kurama and pulling him towards the outside.
.
As Kurama began to exit the seal's space, cracks started to appear within the mindscape.
In a matter of seconds, the mindscape was completely destroyed.
.
*Thud.*
Naruto fell to his knees, his hands hitting the ground. The mask dropped from his face with a thud.
Everyone could see that his face was as pale as a sheet.
"Huff... huff..." he breathed heavily.
"Naruto," a heavy and raspy voice spoke.
Naruto lifted his head, a smile appearing on his face.
.
The wind was howling, and the ground shook. Kurama's nine tails swayed in the forest and the majestic figure of
Kurama looked down on Naruto. The aura of imminent danger was clearly palpable in the air.
If anyone were to witness the swaying of Kurama's nine tails, they would likely succumb to a heart attack.
.
But Naruto was accustomed to his friend. He gazed at Kurama and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Hahaha," Kurama laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the forest.
"This is refreshing," Kurama said.
He could feel the cold air on his fur. Despite being made of chakra, he could experience all the sensations.
.
"Good," Naruto nodded.
He glanced at his father and then at Kurama.
Both of them understood the implication.
.
Kurama raised one paw, and a large nail touched Minato's abdomen.
The Yin chakra began to seep out from Minato.
As Kurama received his Yin chakra, he grew larger and larger.
The surroundings became distorted, and the temperature began to rise.
.
In a matter of minutes, Kurama successfully absorbed all of his chakra from Minato.
"RAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR," he lifted his head and roared towards the sky. He was completely free and complete.
.
His size had grown larger than mountains, with his chakra immensely potent and his overall powers doubled. He glanced at Naruto.
Naruto looked up and their eyes met.
"I have my promise," he said to his friend.
"Even if you are complete, don't get cocky because I still have more chakra than you." Naruto said with a grin.
"Tch… you are such a mood killer Naruto…" Kurama's voice echoed in the surrounding but he didn't deny the fact.
Naruto placed his hand on his belly and murmured to himself, "I feel empty here."
.
Kurama glanced at his friend, yearning for liberation and fulfillment, but unable to find happiness.
.
As he observed his friend, a profound sadness engulfed him. Fear arose within him, wondering if he would once again be trapped in loneliness.
Naruto looked at his friend, and he could feel his emotions. He knew that his friend was feeling sad.
"You know, I can always visit you. And when you feel bored, you can come to visit me," Naruto said.
.
"What's your plan now that you're free?" Naruto asked Kurama.
Kurama looked back at Naruto and replied, "I don't know. Just send me to my lair so I can sleep peacefully."
Naruto laughed at his friend's antics. "Goodbye, Kurama," Naruto said.
.
Kurama looked away as Naruto began to perform a series of hand signs.
Slamming his right hand onto the ground, black markings started to form beneath Kurama.
With a puff of smoke, Kurama disappeared.
.
Now there was only Naruto and Minato were present. Naruto looked at his father, having mixed feelings.
On one hand, he didn't want to send him back. He had spent 15 years alone without his parents, and now his father was in front of him. He hardened his heart and looked at his father.
"You don't have to spend your time in Shingami's belly. You are free from him," Naruto spoke to him.
.
"You can now finally unite with Mother. Tell her that I am fine and I have a girl that I love the most. Tell her that her son is fine," Naruto spoke, his voice getting dry.
"Thank you, Naruto... I will tell her," he said and hugged Naruto.
Naruto stood there and closed his eyes, embracing the moment.
"If everything goes well, I will meet both of you," he said, before parting ways with his father.
.
Whit some hand signs, he released the jutsu, and Minato's body crumbled.
Naruto looked at the empty space, now alone. He leaned against a boulder.
"Huff…." He breathed heavily.
.
He was very tired when Kurama was extracted from his body; his body and mind took damage and he experienced constant pain.
However, he couldn't show this to his friend and father because he didn't want Kurama to feel guilty.
"This will take some time to heal," Naruto said in a low voice.
If it weren't for his perfect Uzumaki and Hyuga bloodline, he was certain that he would have sustained even more damage.
.
It will take a maximum of 6 to 7 hours to fully recover from his injuries. And then he will be at his peak again, more powerful than ever, even though his chakra reserves have far exceeded to Kurama's chakra. But the extraction took its toll.
"If someone sealed me into Kurama it will be like, Kurama the nine-tailed fox is became the jinchuriki of Naruto," he laughed at his thoughts.
Leaning against the boulder Naruto closed his eyes, longing to get some rest.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------
An~Naruto's current chakra reserves are more than Nine tails, because of his perfect bloodline.
Kurama is now official summon of Naruto
And Kurama's extraction was important because now there was no way he could die, first, he could die if someone like(ten-Tails) could rip off Kurama from him as it did in canon.
