Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 226

Golden strands of hair fluttered gently in the invisible air currents, and her face wore a gentle yet solemn expression.

Beside him, the enormous nine-tailed kyara was idly scratching the ground with its claws, making a harsh scraping sound.

"Sleep well, Naruto."

The sound of the water gate was like a whisper, penetrating the barriers of space, carrying a father's tenderness, soothing his sleeping son.

"Hey, Minato,"

The Nine-Tails raised its massive head, its crimson beastly eyes showing a hint of impatience: "Do we have to act like thieves, waiting until Naruto is sleeping like a log before we start?"

It expresses its contempt for such sneaky behavior.

"After all, this was a surprise for him."

Minato shook his head, his gaze shifting to the black figure not far from the cage, who remained seated cross-legged and suspended like a statue—Uchiha Madara.

"And we also need to let Madarasan meet his new roommate."

"He...should be waking up soon."

As if to confirm Minato's words, Madara Uchiha's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened as soon as he finished speaking!

The crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly lit up in the darkness.

A cold, powerful, and anciently oppressive aura instantly spread out.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he had just emerged from a long slumber, and his sharp gaze swept over Minato and Kurama.

"How long have I slept?"

Ban's voice was low and hoarse, like rusty gears grinding together.

“Not much, three days,” Minato replied calmly.

"Old man! You've been sleeping a lot lately!"

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately found someone to tease.

A malicious smile spread across the enormous beast's face. "Are you getting old? Is your soul unable to hold on any longer? How about I lend you some chakra to replenish it?"

Madara's eyes instantly turned cold, piercing Kurama like an ice spike: "Shut up, you beast. I wasn't asking you."

He slowly stood up, his black robe fluttering without wind, and an invisible pressure seemed to freeze the entire sealed space for a moment.

Nine-Tails, however, seemed to have found some fun and became very playful.

Far from being afraid, it became even more arrogant, wagging its nine tails: "I told you! I told you! You sleepy old freckled head! Come and hit me! Hehehe!"

It even imitated Naruto, making an extremely childish face.

Madara's face turned completely dark. "Perfect."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Stretch your muscles a bit. It's been years since I 'taught' you anything, looks like you're itching for a beating!"

"Come on! I'm afraid of you!"

Nine-Tails also suddenly stood up, its massive body radiating violent chakra, its crimson beast eyes filled with fighting spirit.

It had long disliked this guy who always had a stern face and acted profound!

Seeing this, Minato flashed between Madara and Kurama, his voice tinged with helplessness and anxiety: "Mr. Madara! Kurama! Calm down! Naruto just fell asleep, now is not the time..."

Madara interrupted Minato, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan coldly staring at Kurama: "I know what I'm doing. I won't harm Naruto. But..."

He cracked his wrists slightly, making a soft popping sound: "...just loosening up the muscles of some arrogant beast."

"Enough talk! Take this!"

With a roar, the Nine-Tails unleashed its massive claws, imbued with crimson tailed beast chakra, tearing through the air as it slammed down towards Madara's head!

The violent power even slightly distorted space itself!

However, just as the claws were about to strike, Madara vanished like a ghost!

Madara's figure appeared on the side of the Nine-Tails' enormous head, and his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly began to spin!

An immense, suffocating power of the eye erupted instantly!

"Genjutsu·Sharingan!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox's frenzied movements froze instantly! Its crimson beast eyes, once filled with battle intent, were now replaced by a blank and dazed expression!

Its massive body seemed to be frozen in a claw-wielding pose, as if an invisible giant hand had pressed the pause button.

“Despicable…despicable…”

The Nine-Tails' consciousness struggled futilely within the illusion space, letting out a furious roar of resentment: "They actually... used illusion magic... to ambush us..."

Madara's figure slowly landed on the massive nose of the Nine-Tails, which had been frozen in place by the illusion.

Looking down at those unfocused beastly eyes, he spoke with a hint of mockery: "I never said I wouldn't use illusions. Besides..."

He glanced in the direction of Naruto's sleeping consciousness: "If the two of us really went all out, it would be enough to wake that kid up hundreds of times from the pain. I don't want to hear him howling."

"Ow—!"

The Nine-Tails, suffering from the discomfort caused by the illusion, and overwhelmed by immense pain and humiliation, let out a mournful roar.

It felt as if its nose had been hit by a mountain, and the pain was excruciating!

"Old man with the scabbard head—!!! You bastard!!!"

The Nine-Tails swung its head violently, trying to throw Madara off, while its massive tail swept across with immense force!

But Madara's figure had already leaped up lightly, turning in the air like a feather, and landed steadily next to Minato.

At the same time, his eyes released a large amount of pupil power.

"Susanoh!"

Blue, flame-like chakra shot into the sky in an instant!

A massive, armored blue Susanoo skeleton instantly took shape, followed by muscles and armor...

A fully formed Susanoo giant, exuding an aura of destruction, wielding a massive chakra sword, rose from the sealed space!

The complete Susanoo let out a soul-shaking roar, and its enormous arm suddenly shot out.

With unparalleled precision, it caught the massive tail that the Nine-Tailed Fox was sweeping towards it!

It gripped tightly like an iron clamp!

"Damn it!" Kurama was terrified and tried to break free, but Susanoo's power was terrifying!

Immediately afterwards, Susanoo raised his other giant hand high and clenched it into a fist!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a drum, exploded within the sealed space!

Susanoo's massive fist, encased in a thick armor of chakra, was like a pile driver.

Without any mercy, he slammed punch after punch into the Nine-Tails' huge, unsuspecting... face!

"Ouch! Ah! Uh! Stop! Don't hit my face! Old man! I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?! Ouch—!"

The Nine-Tails' screams, mixed with the muffled thuds of fists hitting flesh, echoed in the space.

Its massive body was smashed and knocked askew, its face bruised and swollen, with chakra fragments flying everywhere, making it look extremely pathetic.

A few minutes later, the fully formed Susanoo stopped "teaching" and slowly dissipated.

The Nine-Tails' enormous body crashed to the ground like a broken rag doll, stirring up a cloud of chakra dust.

It lay sprawled on the ground, its enormous paws covering its nose and cheeks, which were swollen and covered in fist marks.

Its crimson beast eyes were brimming with tears, filled with grievance and accusation: "Waaah...please, go easy on me...my handsome face...my dignity..."

Madara slowly landed next to the Nine-Tails' enormous head, and looking at its miserable state, a barely perceptible smile flickered in his scarlet kaleidoscope.

But his voice remained icy: "If you're ever foul-mouthed again, it won't be as simple as just beating you up. I'll make you sleep for a month to clear your head."

Kurama rolled its eyes listlessly and gave a perfunctory hum: "Yes...yes...Madara is mighty...I understand..."

It's really too tired to be cheeky now; its face hurts terribly.

Chapter 249 What did you do to my Minato?

"Alright, the farce is over."

Madara turned to Minato, who had been quietly observing, his crimson eyes regaining their calm: "Let's get down to business. Minato, you released the seal and woke us up, what exactly do you want to do?"

Minato looked at Kurama, whose face was bruised and swollen and who looked aggrieved, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

But this was quickly replaced by a firm statement: "I want to break the seal on the Eight Trigrams...most of it."

"what?!"

Ignoring the pain, Kurama abruptly raised its head, its voice filled with astonishment: "Minato, are you insane?! You've released most of the seal?! My chakra will directly flood into Naruto's meridians!"

"Although his body is much stronger now and he can withstand the impact of the Eight-Tails' chakra, there are limits to that!"

"He suddenly broke most of the seals, and his massive chakra went out of control! He can't control it at all! Something bad is going to happen!"

Minato nodded, his expression grave: "I know the risks, Kurama."

“Naruto’s current physical strength can indeed withstand the onslaught of the Eight-Tails’ chakra without suffering any fundamental damage, as has been proven in previous battles and his training at Mount Myōboku.”

"So, in terms of physical endurance, I'm not most worried."

"Then what are you worried about?" Ban interjected, keenly grasping the key point in Minato's words.

Minato said in a deep voice, "Naruto's control over Kurama's chakra is still at the stage of crude borrowing and bursting, lacking refined guidance and integration."

"With a sudden surge of massive amounts of chakra, he is very likely to go berserk, be consumed by negative emotions, and harm himself and those around him."

Nine-Tails shook her still slightly dizzy head: "Since you know that, why did you still..."

Minato's gaze deepened and softened as he looked at the massive iron gate that symbolized the core of the seal: "Because the time has come. In the past, Naruto's body was too weak and his soul not strong enough, so I dared not take the risk."

“But now… it’s time. I want you to… meet someone.”

"Meeting someone?"

Madara's crimson eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of interest: "Who? Who would make you risk Naruto's rampage?"
