Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Page 179

Because Jiraiya wanted Naruto to tame Gamabunta, he chose a very remote location to avoid causing a disturbance.

But now Uncle Qiushan has inexplicably appeared here, so Naruto keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Naruto, I have something I need to say to the Nine-Tails inside you, so I came to find you."

Upon hearing Uncle Qiu's words, the celebrity nodded readily and said cheerfully:

"I've just finished the task that Jiraiya-sensei assigned me, and there shouldn't be anything else to do. I'll go say goodbye to Jiraiya-sensei and then go back with you."

After hearing what Uncle Qiushan said, Naruto remembered that he had gone with Uncle Qiushan to find the Seven-Tails.

Therefore, Naruto had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Uncle Qiushan's trip.

However, Naruto had no intention of refusing at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of joy at being able to help Uncle Qiushan.

So, after quickly greeting Jiraiya, Naruto eagerly went to Uchiha Kagami.

hum~

With a soft sound, Uchiha Kakuzan led Naruto to a valley, where two huge sculptures were carved on either side of a waterfall at the end of the valley.

Upon seeing the two sculptures, Naruto seemed to recognize them and exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow! Uncle Qiushan, is this the legendary Valley of the End? The place where the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha had their final battle?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan looked up at the waterfall that was making a continuous rumbling sound not far away, nodded, and said:

“That’s right, this place is quite significant and very remote, so I brought you here.”

After carefully examining the two statues, Naruto's initial excitement gradually subsided. He finally looked at Uchiha Kakuzan beside him and asked:

"Uncle Qiushan, is the reason you want to talk to the Nine-Tails inside me because you want to collect some of the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't too surprised by Naruto's question, after all, he had just taken Naruto and Sasuke to collect the Seven-Tails' chakra not long ago.

Therefore, upon hearing Naruto's question, Uchiha Kakuyama readily nodded and then said:

“That’s right. I need the chakra of these tailed beasts to do something. If I succeed, I will get some benefits.”

After hearing Uncle Qiushan's words, Naruto pondered for a moment before nodding and saying:

"I understand, Uncle Qiushan. I have no questions. You just need to convince the Nine-Tails inside me."

Naruto was quite confident in Uncle Qiushan because he had already established contact with Kurama and knew that Kurama was very afraid of Uchiha Qiushan, so he probably wouldn't refuse his request.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama did not hesitate and directly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, entering the consciousness space of Kurama and Naruto.

tick...

tick...

Within the Nine-Tails' consciousness space, it was fortunately like a sewer, with a layer of water on the ground and a few drops dripping down from time to time, making a dripping sound.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't care about any of this. With a thought, he released a burst of intense heat from his body, baking the dungeon-like environment clean.

"Nine Lama, it's been a long time. Your living environment is still as terrible as ever."

Looking at the large red fox imprisoned in the seal in front of him, Uchiha Kakuyama greeted him with a smile.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Kurama opened its eyes and then said in a deep voice:

"Uchiha Kakuyama, I already know about your conversation with Naruto, but what I'm really curious about is..."

"You should know that the chakra of us tailed beasts isn't anything good; it's filled with negative emotions and corrosive energy. What do you want with it?"

Regarding the question about the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Kakuzan paused for a moment before continuing:

"Kurama, you should also know that all nine tailed beasts were separated from the Ten-Tails' body by the Sage of Six Paths, right?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, his long-unseen eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth, revealing white fangs, and continued:

"So what? They're still locked up here by you humans."

Hearing Kurama's somewhat resentful words, Uchiha Survival took two steps forward, carefully examining the seal in front of him, and said:

"Kurama, if we're talking about intelligence, you should be the most intelligent of all the tailed beasts."

Haven't you ever wondered why you tailed beasts are so unique?

Born powerful, with a body that can be transformed into energy, capable of resurrection, imbued with resentment, and immortal.

How did they acquire these abilities?

Chapter 514: Tailed Beast Chakra Gathering

Kurama hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuzan to ask such a question. After a slight pause, he said in a low voice:

"We tailed beasts have been like this ever since we were created by the Six Paths Master. Who would bother to investigate the reason?"

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Uchiha Kakuzan revealed an expression of "I knew it," then nodded and said:

"Speaking of which, you tailed beasts are all made of chakra, which means that your existence may be closely related to us ninjas."

Later, after reviewing the information, I discovered that you were all extracted from the Ten-Tails' body, so I suspect that your outrageous attributes are related to the Ten-Tails.

What Uchiha Kakuzan didn't say was that the Ten-Tails was formed from the God Tree, meaning that these tailed beasts were actually extracted from the God Tree.

The reason why the Divine Tree was able to grow was because it absorbed the energy of the entire planet, and these nine tailed beasts may have been formed from this energy.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) indeed wagged its tail somewhat irritably before continuing:

"Uchiha Kakuzan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Uchiha Kakuzan smiled slightly and then spoke:

“Right now, my strength is stuck below the Six Paths level, so I suspect that the key to advancing to the Six Paths level lies among you tailed beasts.”

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) suddenly bristled, immediately standing up from the ground, opening its massive maw to reveal its gleaming white serrated teeth, radiating a terrifying aura.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

Although Kurama knew he couldn't possibly defeat Uchiha Kagakuzan right now, he wasn't willing to be a lamb to the slaughter.

Therefore, even if it meant fighting to the death, Kurama was unwilling to give itself away to Uchiha Kakuyama for nothing.

Upon seeing Kurama's form, Uchiha Kakuzan realized he had misunderstood him. Facing Kurama's terrifying appearance, he casually waved his hand and said:

"Kurama, you've misunderstood me. I don't want to extract you from this kid's body for research; I just need some of your chakra."

Hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Kurama secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just chakra. The Nine-Tails may not have much, but it has the most chakra among all the tailed beasts. In legends, it can be said to be inexhaustible.

However, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was not willing to back down so quickly. After slowly withdrawing its aura, it stared intently at Uchiha Kakuyama and said in a deep voice:

“Uchiha Kakuzan, I can give you a portion of my chakra, but you must promise me that you will take good care of this brat and never bother me again.”

Uchiha Kakuzan naturally noticed that Kurama was putting on a brave front, but he didn't expose him and simply nodded in agreement.

"Naruto, this kid is practically my disciple, so I'll naturally take good care of him. Don't worry."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) did not hesitate any longer. A massive orange-red chakra appeared on its body and continuously poured into Uchiha Kakuzan.

After a while, Kurama, slightly out of breath, stopped channeling chakra. Looking at the enormous chakra ball in Uchiha Kakuyama's hand, it said wearily:

"How is it? This is already half of my chakra. If you want more, you'll have to wait until I recover in a few days."

While it's true that tailed beasts might collapse when they lose most of their chakra,

However, these laws do not apply to Kurama (the Nine-Tails), because Kurama has so much chakra that even if he loses half of it, he will only feel a little tired and will recover in a few days.

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Kurama to be so generous. Feeling the immense energy in his palm, he nodded in satisfaction and said to Kurama, who was not far away:

"Kurama, don't worry, I, Uchiha Kyūzan, am not the kind of person who forgets kindness. Since you have already given me so much chakra today, I will definitely repay you with even more in the future."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, a strange look flashed deep in Kurama's eyes, and then he said:

"Do as you please, I won't keep you company."

As soon as Nine-Tails finished speaking, his side slowly fell into darkness.

Looking at the darkness inside the cage, Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Kurama had fallen into a deep sleep to recover its strength more quickly, so he didn't linger there and left with the huge mass of chakra.

When Uchiha Kagami opened his eyes, he met Naruto's somewhat curious gaze.

Although Naruto felt somewhat weak due to the disappearance of the Tailed Beast's chakra, fortunately, the Uzumaki bloodline in his body offset this weakness, making his condition still quite good.

"Uncle Qiushan, Uncle Qiushan, how is it? Did the tailed beast inside me agree?"

At this time, Kurama and Naruto's relationship was not very good, so Naruto didn't care much about Kurama. He was only concerned about whether Uncle Qiushan had achieved his goal.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, a smile appeared on Uchiha Kakuzan's lips. With a thought, a deep red chakra ball appeared in his palm.

Perhaps because the energy within this chakra ball was so immense, its appearance involuntarily stirred up a fierce wind, causing the surrounding trees to sway and undulate.

After revealing the chakra ball, Uchiha Kakuzan said with a gentle smile:

"Hmm, Kurama is quite easy to talk to. After hearing my request, he handed over his chakra to me. You should get along well with him from now on."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuzan used the Devouring Technique of the Preta Path to continuously absorb the chakra ball into his body.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Naruto's face broke into a bright smile, and he nodded vigorously, saying:

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely get along well with Nine-Tails from now on."

For Naruto, a little bit of sunshine from others can be returned with tenfold brilliance.

Moreover, Uncle Akiyama in front of him was like a father to him, so Naruto readily agreed to his instructions.

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuzan had completely absorbed the chakra ball in his hand into his body. Just as he was about to say something, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation emanated from his body.

Chapter 515 The Real Takamagahara

Just as Uchiha Kakuyama was about to speak to Naruto, he sensed an unusual situation within his body.

At the same time, the system in his mind, which he had almost forgotten, also spoke up:

"Ding, it has been detected that the host has gathered the chakra of all nine tailed beasts, meeting the requirements for upgrading the Rinnegan to the tomoe Rinnegan. Would you like to upgrade?"

Sensing this situation, Uchiha Kagakusan frowned slightly. He didn't bother to talk to Naruto anymore, and directly put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, leading him to the Hokage Rock.

"Naruto, I have some things to take care of, so I'll stop chatting with you for now."

Naruto was slightly taken aback after hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, then quickly nodded and said:

"Uncle Qiushan, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Anyway, you've already taken me back to the village, so don't worry about my safety."

After hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan patted him lightly on the shoulder twice, gave him a smile, and then disappeared from the spot.

Takamagahara Space

The highest point of the island

After returning to the space, Uchiha Kakuyama immediately sat cross-legged on it, focusing all his attention on his internal body.

When his consciousness returned to the consciousness space, what lay before him were nine tailed beast chakras, each a different color, like clusters of flames.

At the same time, the system's voice rang out again.

"The system has detected that the host has gathered the chakra of all nine tailed beasts, thus fulfilling the conditions for upgrading the Rinnegan to the tomoe Rinnegan. Would the host like to upgrade?"

However, when faced with the system's inquiry, Uchiha Kakuzan did not immediately agree. Instead, after a moment's thought, he asked:

"System, how long will it take for my Rinnegan to upgrade to the Tomoe Rinnegan?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's question, the system calmly replied:

"It will take about three years for the host's Rinnegan to upgrade to the Tomoe Rinnegan without external intervention."

Upon hearing the system's response, Uchiha Kakuzan's brows furrowed deeply.

He hadn't expected that this upgrade would take so long. If it took more than three years, he wondered if he would be able to catch up when Kaguya Otsutsuki was resurrected.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Uchiha Kakuzan asked:

"How do I upgrade, and how can I speed up the upgrade process?"

Upon hearing the host's question, the system's voice echoed in his consciousness space:

"Because the host's strength has already reached the Six Paths level, if he wants to make another breakthrough, he can only use the chakra of the nine tailed beasts to condense the World Seed."

Once the World Seed is formed, after three years of gestation, it will allow the host's Rinnegan to evolve into the Tomoe Rinnegan, and the Sage Body to evolve into the Six Paths Body. At that time, the host's strength will reach the World level, surpassing the Six Paths level.

"As for how to speed up this process, the host needs to find a place with abundant natural energy so that the Seed of the World can quickly absorb natural energy and thus accelerate its advancement."

Upon hearing the system's words, Uchiha Kakuyama's heart skipped a beat.
