Chapter 579 Zuo Yue's Gift
Chapter 579 Zuo Yue's Gift
With this, young Naruto can use the Nine-Tails' power. Older Naruto silently calculated in his mind, thinking that now that the Nine-Tails of this world has seen the memories of another version of himself, it should choose to believe Naruto.
"I've made peace with Kurama. We're friends now. He's a powerful ally, someone I can trust with my back."
"I hope you can understand the Nine-Tails and resolve the hatred in its heart."
Although young Naruto will certainly be able to achieve this in the future, adult Naruto still chooses to accelerate this process.
Naruto listened in a daze. It was the first time he had ever heard of such things. The Nine-Tails could be reconciled with? The Nine-Tails that had ruined his childhood and made him ostracized by everyone could become his friend?
His mind was a mess, but since it was another version of himself who said it... that version of himself from the future, who was so much older than him, said it... it must be right.
As Naruto thought about it, he slowly remembered that he had always hated the Nine-Tails because it was sealed inside him, and he blamed all his grievances, loneliness, and misfortune on that fox.
But he truly hadn't considered what the Nine-Tails was before it was sealed into a human's body. What was it? Where did it come from? What had it experienced? Why was it sealed away? What was it thinking?
He never thought about these issues.
The Yin Nine-Tails' chakra slowly flowed into Naruto's body. Naruto felt as if something was missing from his body, something he had always thought he was complete and had never realized what he was lacking—it was now complete.
The feeling was strange; it was hard to say whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable. It was like you'd been wearing the same clothes for years, and suddenly someone put a coat on you that you never knew you needed, and then you realized that you'd always felt a bit cold.
"Alright, let's go then."
Naruto clapped his hands, then turned around. Suddenly, Satsuki spoke up.
"Naruto is a bit biased."
There was no accusation in her tone, nothing that made anyone uncomfortable. It even carried a hint of coquettishness.
"Huh? Favoritism?"
Faced with these words that contained no reprimand, Naruto thought for a moment. Sasuke himself had given him the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan, while the other Naruto in this world had only given him the Yin Nine-Tails' chakra, and even then, Naruto had to build a good relationship with the Nine-Tails himself. It seemed a bit... biased?
"Then..."
Naruto felt that something was indeed wrong and prepared to do something to make up for this favoritism.
But Sōzuki began to take action.
"Come on, another Naruto. Look me in the eyes."
Satsuki said to Naruto in a gentle, warm voice, as if she were coaxing a child, "Now that we've met, I'll give it a try too."
After speaking, Satsuki opened her powerful eyes to Naruto. Naruto listened to Satsuki's friendly and gentle words, to a tone he had never heard from any girl before, a tone used when speaking to someone very important—and his attention was completely drawn to something else rather than what Satsuki was about to do.
His face flushed again, and his eyes widened, but what was reflected in his pupils was not those powerful, terrifying eyes, but a face, a face that was entirely based on his own aesthetic.
...He began to understand why so many girls were swooning over Sasuke.
Although Sasuke felt a little uncomfortable seeing Naruto swooning over his female counterpart, he didn't show it.
Until black flames ignited on Naruto's body.
Sasuke was instantly terrified, his disdain turning to horror. He pushed off the ground and charged towards Naruto.
However, before he could even reach out his hand or take a few steps forward, he was stopped by Naruto.
His body had absolutely no chance of resisting in front of Naruto.
"don’t worry."
Naruto reassured her, "That's no ordinary Amaterasu. Satsuki's eye technique is far more powerful than you imagine."
Meanwhile, under Amaterasu's control, Satsuki's consciousness had entered a realm that only she could access.
She discovered something that could be modified at will—the chakra of the Yin Nine-Tails. Before her eye power, it was like a rough, uncarved piece of jade, which could be shaped, modified, and given new forms and meanings at will.
Zuo Yue felt that Naruto still had to consider the Nine-Tails' attitude when using its power, wait for the fox to cooperate, and spend time building trust and resolving hatred.
This process was too long, and Zuo Yue didn't like waiting. She remembered the power of her Naruto and decided to do it.
The next moment, behind Naruto, Naruto sensed that something was about to emerge.
Something was being conceived, growing, and breaking out of its shell from within his own body, from the newly replenished and still slowly flowing chakra.
Nine illusory shadows appeared behind Naruto.
The shadows were faint at first, then they began to solidify, taking on different shapes—some were people, some were beasts, some were standing, and some were crouching.
Every shadow has its own posture and its own temperament.
"...Satsuki has quite a vivid imagination."
Naruto recognized it. It was the Nine-Faced Suvaha.
However, that's not all.
Zuo Yue infused some of her eye power into it. Following her will, that eye power passed through the solidifying shadows and seeped into their bodies, bones, and every fiber formed by chakra.
Behind, on the gradually solidifying nine-faced beast, new eyes opened on the masked faces, beneath the beast's eyes.
Those were pairs of eerie red.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
Beneath each of the nine-faced beasts' eyes lay another pair. Those eyes slowly rotated through the gaps in the masks, kaleidoscope patterns swirling within their pupils, emanating a chilling and powerful aura that everyone present could feel.
