RNP Chapter 340 1 Days
Chapter 340 1 Days
"He's gone mad, he's absolutely insane!" Tobirama was so angry his head almost ached. This was no easy feat for someone in the Edo Tensei form. "What does he mean? Does he mean that if he doesn't return in a day, we should use the Edo Tensei to test if he's still alive?!"
Hashirama remained remarkably calm. Had he not intervened, Tobirama likely would have already subdued Naruto the moment he produced the mark that resembled the Senju clan crest. Now, not only had the boy escaped, but they had no idea where he had gone. Over the years, they truly had no idea how many marks Naruto had placed on the world map.
“Tobirama, he’s serious. Don’t forget, Naruto is the leader of Hidden Light, possessing the most resilient soul among us. We can’t treat him like an immature child at a time like this; he knows exactly what he’s doing. Why don’t we listen to Fushimi’s explanation first?” Although Hashirama’s image as a kind-hearted person was deeply ingrained, Tobirama knew how troublesome this man could be when he was stubborn. Moreover, although everyone usually acted similarly, on many important policies, Hashirama was always the first to agree with Naruto.
Tobirama took several deep breaths with the body of a dead man to calm himself down before revealing the truth that had been kept secret: "Brother, during the incident in the Land of Demons, Naruto's body suffered a severe shock. When I found him, he was almost dead and only survived thanks to Kurama. Whatever the 'Source Core' he mentioned is, it must require a massive amount of power, which he couldn't withstand."
"That's why you asked Fuming if he could use the spaceship's energy." Hashirama suddenly realized for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "We've known him for so many years. We should know that when he's determined to do something, even if we all joined forces, we couldn't stop him."
"Did you even try to stop them seriously? You never intended to stop them at all!"
"Perhaps, but whenever I look into his eyes, I can't help but feel... that his choice was right."
Even if this kind of correctness would cost him his life?
“...Even if it means death,” Hashirama replied with difficulty, “he will surely die on the road ahead.”
Naruto rarely uses this mark. The vast majority of his marks are on the continent, basically overlapping with Hui's area of activity, but there are a few exceptions.
For example, this is where his clone ended up after the ship he was on wrecked. After sending all the survivors away, the clone was on the verge of disappearing, and fearing there might still be people nearby who hadn't been rescued, he left a mark before vanishing. However, his rescue was perfect; Naruto came back to check and found that he hadn't left anyone behind.
"He's gone mad, he's really gone mad." Kurama had been cursing in the mental space for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't shake Naruto's will.
“Much of the energy from the Grell mine has accumulated in my mental space, but my body hasn’t reacted, which means that as long as the seal is strong enough, it won’t have too much of an impact on my body.” Naruto’s tone was relaxed, even with a hint of coquetry. “It’s rare to have so much surplus energy to use, so why not take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it?”
Kurama looked up at the white-gold cloud of light green mixed with wisps of energy floating above. These were the redundant elements Naruto had mentioned, which had entered with the strange creature. After the sealing jutsu was applied, those things remained perfectly still as clouds in the mental space, without any movement.
"Tobirama asked you to research soul sealing, not to seal your own," Kurama said irritably.
"Hahaha, Kurama really thought of that~" Naruto actually laughed out loud, finally turning his head to take a good look at his companion who had been by his side since birth.
"Promise me, Nine Lama, if things don't go well, you must leave decisively."
"Even if it's my impure body, I want to fight alongside you."
The orange-red fox remained silent for a long time, but its nine wildly flying tails betrayed its turbulent emotions. Finally, it suddenly turned its head to the side, and two of its tails naturally curled up, firmly blocking the huge fox head.
"Don't say such unlucky things... Come back alive."
The boy opened his eyes in the sandpit. His blue eyes were now stained crimson. The pupils of a wild beast should have added a touch of savagery to his face, but the bright crimson was dull and lifeless.
This is the first time that a tailed beast has taken control of a body, yet it can't feel happy at all.
Nine-Lama climbed out of the pit. He refused to lie in such an unlucky-looking place, but unfortunately, the island was so small that he could easily jump from one end to the other, and there was nowhere else to go. So he stopped under a coconut tree, quickly picked all the leaves and foliage from the branches, and barely managed to cobble together a leaf hut big enough for one person to nest in.
It was already midnight when he went out, and he still had to endure the long night and wait for dawn.
"If I succeed, will you appear?" With no one around, Naruto could finally openly tap his sea of consciousness, hoping for a response. Unfortunately, the shadow in the sea remained cross-legged, unchanged.
Naruto was a little unsure. Was that person really him? If so, then he was far too capable of enduring loneliness. A child who had been alone since childhood, after experiencing the warmth of bonds, could never go back to the way things were before. He was always surrounded by many companions until his death.
"Fine, if you're not going to help, then don't cause trouble halfway through. I don't want to die right now."
Naruto's sentimentality lasted only a moment. When he stood up again, he was full of confidence and, for the first time, unleashed his full potential.
First, the "clouds" floating in the sky were activated. These clouds, already mixed with "source energy," easily shed their impurities, becoming the foundation for condensing the "source core." Next, the chakra floating in the soul space gathered, their movement creating a hurricane and stirring up a raging storm in the sea of consciousness. Finally, the sea of consciousness also flowed backward, rushing towards the "sun" in the sky.
Naruto had never controlled a "source" of this magnitude before, but he only felt a little strained, not to the point of being unable to bear it. The platinum-gold sphere that had absorbed a huge amount of energy and expanded to the point of almost touching his sea of consciousness suddenly contracted after crossing a certain critical point.
When the platinum-gold sphere of light hit a certain point, Naruto suddenly floated up as if he understood, and crashed straight into the sphere. That thing, which defied all the laws of physics, burst out with intense light, but instead of expanding, it became smaller and smaller until it could no longer conceal Naruto's figure.
Naruto opened his eyes. Everything here was exactly the same as before, nothing had changed. He knew he had succeeded.
