59Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, on!AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 59 Nine-tails Chakra Mode, On!
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards him.
The wild wind swirled, and golden hair fluttered.
Minato Namikaze!!!
"Why is it you? Who exactly are you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was first stunned, then his face darkened, and he became furious: "You dare to impersonate the Fourth Hokage and act so recklessly? I will not spare you."
"Teacher, no!"
Uchiha Obito, hidden in the shadows, was also shocked.
Why is it him?
Isn't he dead?
Even Zetsu was somewhat incredulous.
Who was Nagato before? And the Rinnegan?
Everything seemed to be shrouded in a new layer of mystery.
Unconsciously, the war halted, and everyone looked at him.
On the periphery, upon seeing Minato Namikazeappear, many people were bewildered.
"The Fourth Hokage? Is it the Fourth Hokage?"
"Why would it be him?"
Some were distraught.
Some couldn't believe it.
Why would it be the Fourth Hokage?
They weren't entirely clear about what had happened recently, but they had heard some rumors.
At this moment, seeing the Fourth Hokage, whom they had respected, appear on the opposing side, their feelings were imaginable.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared coldly at Naruto, and said in a deep voice: "Who exactly are you?"
"Me!"
Naruto stood with his arms crossed on top of the utility pole, his gaze calm as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and slowly said: "I am Minato Namikaze."
Naruto's alias.
Naruto's heart was as still as an ancient well.
The most important reason for not appearing as Naruto was that he was not yet invincible in the world.
Secondly, he wanted to kill with words and strike at their hearts.
Why should he let go of the grievances and everything he had endured over the years?
No!
He wanted to peel it back bit by bit, to cruelly expose this bloody scar.
Only then would he have a just cause.
Only then could he make them suffer mental torment.
And also let them experience the terror of so-called rumors.
Nara Shikaku gazed at Naruto, and in an instant, understood Naruto's underlying meaning, and quietly walked to his side.
Behind him, Akimichi Choza and Inoichi Yamanakafollowed closely.
Hyuga Hiashi also stepped forward.
Behind him followed a group of Hyuga Clanmembers.
The Uchiha Clan stood silently on Naruto's other side.
At this moment,
Dividing yin and yang.
The crowd gathered, and a murderous aura spread.
Beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakuzu, Danzo, and Sasori of the Red Sand all looked solemnly at the scene before them.
They had never expected that Naruto had already gathered such a formidable force.
Sasori of the Red Sand tilted his head: "Sandaime, you are truly interesting; your own people are rebelling."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face instantly turned ashen.
Danzo's expression was also extremely grim.
They had never dreamed that such a dramatic turn of events would occur.
They had thought it would be an overwhelming war, but now, it felt as if their side was the lamb to be slaughtered.
"Sandaime, long time no see."
"Don't think that just because you've taken on the appearance of the Fourth Hokage, you are the true Fourth Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared coldly at the Naruto before him, trying to find a flaw.
However, unfortunately, he found nothing.
He just stood there quietly, his demeanor and the gentle aura about him were exactly the same.
It was as if the person appearing before him was truly the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
But how could that be?
The Fourth Hokage was buried by their own hands, and he was still resting peacefully in the cemetery.
"Is that so?"
Naruto gazed at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then looked at Danzo, and finally swept his gaze over the still relatively close crowd.
Unrushed, his calm voice slowly spread: "Back then, I personally sealed the Nine-Tailed, sealing half of it within my own son. What was I fighting for?"
What?
With a boom, the crowd erupted.
Some uninformed people suddenly changed their expressions dramatically.
Many smart people immediately connected many things.
The Fox Demon, Uzumaki Naruto.
That identical golden hair.
Hiss!
Before they could repent or feel regret, Naruto's chilling voice continued: "Alas, I never imagined that my child's life would turn out this way."
"I often wonder, what exactly did I fight for?"
"Fire Will?"
"Protecting Konoha Village?"
"How ridiculous."
Naruto's voice was like cold thorns, piercing their hearts.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened, and he waved his hand: "Enough, attack."
Regardless of whether this person was Minato Namikaze or not, he could not let him continue speaking; if he did, the Fire Will system he had built would collapse.
And...
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Uzumaki Naruto, who was watching the excitement in the crowd not far away.
At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto's face was blank, and he stared blankly at them.
No,
He was looking at Minato Namikaze.
This is bad.
Uzumaki Naruto must have heard it, otherwise his expression wouldn't be so rigid.
Damn it, this person knows so much about Konoha Village's affairs.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that regret was now irreversible, so he decided to use decisive action and get through this hurdle first.
"Summoning Technique!"
"Enma, assist me in battle once more."
"Hiruzen, you're so old; has something else happened in Konoha Village?"
Enma scanned the surroundings, finally settling on Naruto, and gasped: "The Fourth Hokage?"
How could this be!
"He's not him; everyone, attack."
Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.
Behind him, some hesitated, while others attacked with determined expressions.
Kisame Hoshigaki, hiding behind the crowd, had a grim expression as he gripped Samehada in his hand.
Now he could only be glad that Nagato had the foresight to send him here; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Our strength is too disparate; do you have allies?"
Uchiha Fugaku's voice came: "Although we can hold our own, victory will be very difficult. If one or two more reinforcements arrive, we might not be able to hold them off."
"How about we all retreat and find another path?"
Their faction was not weak; they could collectively defect from the Village.
A person thrives by moving, a tree dies by staying put.
There was no need to fight to the death.
Naruto chuckled.
The scene before him did not make him retreat; on the contrary, the blood in his heart was boiling.
Since he was a child, he had a dream of being a martial arts hero, and later, an immortal cultivator.
Who was his idol?
Sun Wukong.
He would also fantasize about appearing gloriously before others.
Even when he was in school, he would fantasize about being a top student, no, a genius, admired by many.
He fantasized about standing in the spotlight, being the center of attention.
Unfortunately, that was just a fantasy.
However, today, due to various reasons, he had this opportunity.
How could this not make him excited and his blood boil?
Whether it was to establish his reputation, reverse Uzumaki Naruto's identity, or suppress these people, he had to take action.
So...
"Nine-Tailed, it's time to show yourself."
Naruto stood tall and straight.
The wild wind swirled back, and an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone's eyes:
Nine-Tailed, Chakra Mode!
Activate!
