Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 98 itself has a cheat code.

"Is this... the Nine-Tails' chakra?!"

The tailed beast chakra, crimson as blood and raging like magma, swept out like a small storm, causing Itachi Uchiha's robes to flutter wildly. She had to lower her body slightly to steady her swaying posture.

"Did we go too far?!" Itachi's expression suddenly turned grim. "Oh no! Satsuki!"

She immediately realized the worst possibility—if the Nine-Tails really went completely berserk, the Jinchuriki who lost their minds would become pure weapons of destruction, indiscriminately treating friend and foe alike!

At that moment, the unconscious Satsuki lay less than a few meters away from Naruto! With the power of a tailed beast, even an unconscious movement would be enough to easily take Satsuki's life!

That guy, Nine-Lama... he says the harshest things, but his actions are quite honest... he's really not frank.

Naruto's mind was crystal clear at that moment. He could feel the large fox in his mind awkwardly turning its head in the sealed space, saying, "I haven't fully accepted you yet! This is all the chakra I have for now! Take it or leave it!"

These powers were indeed lent voluntarily, even actively, by the Nine-Tails, and did not carry that insane resentment that eroded the mind.

Although Naruto wasn't sure if his body could fully withstand the burden of having more tails, the power of the four tails was enough for now!

With a thought, the crimson chakra cloak enveloping his body instantly changed. A massive red claw, entirely composed of solidified chakra, extended from his side. Carefully avoiding all sharp points, the claw slowly enveloped and covered the unconscious Zuo Yue beside him.

Under the gentle infusion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Satsuki's face, which had become as pale as paper due to extreme fear, pain, and chakra depletion, regained a healthy blush at a visible speed, and her previously weak breathing became much more steady and long.

After ensuring that Satsuki was safe for the time being, the chakra claw maintained its protective posture, isolating her from any potential conflict with the outside world.

At this moment, Naruto's tailed beast transformation was also completely completed.

Enveloped in crimson chakra, which resembled burning blood, the original blond-haired boy's appearance had completely vanished.

What appeared before Itachi Uchiha was a small tailed beast, not as large as its complete form, but already possessing the ferocious outline of the Nine-Tailed Fox! Four tails, entirely composed of chakra, swayed wildly behind it.

However, what surprised Itachi Uchiha the most was that this small Nine-Tails, which exuded overwhelming ferocity, had beast eyes made entirely of chakra that showed no chaos or madness, but instead shone with a cold and clear light.

Immediately afterwards, a voice, carrying an obvious bestial resonance yet exceptionally clear and calm, rang out.

"You are not allowed to come any closer!"

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, the small Nine-Tails opened its mouth, and the crimson chakra in the surrounding air surged wildly into its mouth as if drawn by a black hole, compressing and condensing!

A crimson energy ball took shape at an astonishing speed.

The next moment—"BOOM!!!"

A massive, crimson torrent of energy, composed of tailed beast chakra, burst forth from Naruto's mouth!

The earth was easily torn apart, melted, and evaporated like fragile paper, and it surged toward Uchiha Itachi in front of it with destructive force!

------

"What, what is that thing?!"

"Is it an enemy attack?! Where did the attack come from?!"

Meanwhile, even in areas far from the epicenter of the explosion, people in Konoha Village were shocked by the sudden, terrifying roar and the crimson light shooting into the sky in the distance!

Ordinary villagers ran out of their homes in terror, looking into the distance with fear and bewilderment on their faces.

The ninjas on patrol or who had just finished their missions were on high alert, leaping to higher ground and gazing incredulously at the destructive energy fluctuations.

Some ninjas with particularly keen chakra perception could clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from afar, filled with a violent and destructive aura, even from such a distance, causing them to involuntarily tremble with fear.

However, in the shadows of a dimly lit alley, two figures draped in cloaks, standing out starkly from the surrounding atmosphere of panic, stood silently.

One of them merely tilted his head slightly, the holes in his fox mask gazing faintly towards the direction from which the astonishing explosion and crimson pillar of light were emanating.

The figure beside him, though showing worry and tension, seemed to express more concern for his companion than pure fear of that power.

It is precisely the numbness of the face and the stillness of the water.

Menma wasn't just focused on the distant explosion like the others. At that moment, beside him, his Stand, Gold Experience, invisible to ordinary people, was kneeling on one knee, gently pressing his palm to the ground.

The Stand's senses, like countless tiny roots, penetrated the soil and rocks, extending infinitely into the depths of Konoha's underground, exploring.

Menma originally planned to go directly to the Hokage's office to "ask" the Third Hokage about the exact location of the Root organization's base. But just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that he might have a more direct method.

really!

Through his Gold Experience's ability to perceive the life fluctuations of all things, he clearly detected that in a specific area deep underground in Konoha Village, there was a large amount of unusually concentrated and intense life fluctuations!

Such fluctuations could not possibly be generated by insects or moles that live underground!

Completely ignoring the panicked and shouting crowds on the surrounding streets, Mianma and Shizusui quickly arrived at a secluded and unusually quiet open space.

This place is far from the main road, and is surrounded only by messy bushes.

Mianma quickly formed hand seals in front of him.

"Earth Release: Great River of Earth Release".

The next moment, the ground in front of them instantly lost its original shape and emitted a muffled rumble!

The ground writhed and softened violently, as if alive; the hard soil and rocks dissolved at a visible speed, transforming into a surging, turbid mudslide that rolled and parted to both sides.

In just a few breaths, a huge pit with a diameter of more than five meters and a depth of more than ten meters appeared in front of the two.

At the very bottom of the pit, instead of damp soil, a huge, cold, and dark metal platform, clearly man-made, and the entrance to a downward passage were revealed.

"This is……"

Shisui stared at the entrance below, a knowing glint in his eyes. As a former member of the Anbu, he had heard of this place before, but had never been allowed to actually set foot inside.

The deepest shadow in Konoha.

"Found it, the 'root' of Konoha that has long since decayed." Menma spoke. "An organization whose original mission was to protect Konoha in the shadows, has now degenerated into a private army and a malignant tumor used by someone to satisfy their personal desires and eliminate dissidents."

Before he finished speaking, Mianma's hand seals changed again, carrying the spatial fluctuations unique to a spirit contract.

Bang!

With a soft thud, he leaped into the pit and landed precisely on the metal platform below.

And at the very moment he jumped—

hum!

Nine enormous characters appeared—blue, white, vermilion, black, void, south, north, three, jade.

Immediately following their master's will, the nine-faced beasts silently swooped down one after another, disappearing into the entrance leading to the "Root" organization's base, right after Menma's figure.

Zhishui stood at the edge of the pit, glancing back one last time at the faint commotion still emanating from the center of the village in the distance.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped down and entered the darkest place representing Konoha.
