Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 300 Naruto's Inner Demons (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"So soon?" Neji asked in a deep voice.

Naruto remained silent, gazing at the towering mountains and the white clouds floating in the sky.

Yes, he no longer had time to wait for Tsunade's reply; all the clues around him reminded him that the final battle was imminent.

Naruto believed he had successfully persuaded Madara, and now all he had to do was wait for the lightning bolt Madara had planted to go off so he could take down the entire Akatsuki and the mastermind behind it all.

There's no need to fight even four wars.

Naruto, Sakura, and Neji found a secluded, open spot in a mountain gorge high up near Kumogakure, which happened to be near the Cloud Thunder Gorge.

There was a clearing in the mountain gorge, much like the place where Killer Bee trained. Naruto sat down on the ground there and entered his spiritual space.

Upon arriving at the Nine-Tails' location, the half-tailed beast, which had been lying dormant for a long time, was ready and quietly watching Naruto.

“Next, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen,” Naruto said calmly.

“When I try to break the final seal, the remnant will of the Fourth Hokage will appear, so I will try to bypass his backup plan first,”

"If it doesn't work, please believe my words, but do not take any action and do not show any hostility."

Nine-Tails remained silent, nodding with a somewhat nervous expression.

Complete cooperation with Naruto is a path of no return.

The Nine-Tails' tension stemmed primarily from the fear instilled by external threats, with a secondary reason being its wariness of Naruto's cunning.

It has lived long enough to know that there are special sealing techniques that can only take away its chakra, while leaving the fox itself to continue to be sealed.

But putting himself in Naruto's shoes, he was also unsettled, though he didn't have many options.

"Phew..." Naruto in the real world let out a long sigh, bit his finger, and summoned Gamabunta, the toad who kept the key.

"Yo, Naruto." It greeted Naruto with its arms crossed, but seeing Naruto's serious expression, it instinctively had a bad feeling.

After hearing Naruto's words, Gamabunta's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no! This is far too dangerous!"

"You absolutely cannot trust the Tailed Beasts. They are the embodiment of hatred, and you will be overwhelmed by negative emotions on the spot!"

Kurama sees the real world through Naruto's eyes in the spiritual space, like watching a movie.

In real life, Naruto shook his head: "You have a deep misunderstanding of the Tailed Beasts. First of all, they have their own names, and secondly, their hatred stems precisely from their distrust of humans."

The Nine-Tails, with its two claws alternating in front, lay down and watched Naruto and Gamabunta debate.

“Naruto, I know you’re very strong now,” Gamakura said, sweating profusely, “but this request is too sudden. Why didn’t you discuss it with Jiraiya or the Toad Sage?”

Naruto shook his head: "It's not very meaningful. Their thoughts won't change my decision. Gamabunta, you might as well recall the Great Toad Sage's prophecy again."

The toad was speechless, remembering that the toad sage who had lived for a thousand years had even changed the prophecy for Naruto.

He said that Naruto's choice would usher in a new era for the ninja world.

The prophecy itself contains little content, but it sends a clear signal: Naruto will demonstrate extremely strong initiative.

This legitimized all his subsequent actions, similar to the concept of natural rights in ancient times.

Toad Yin fell silent; it found it couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Sigh... I hope your latest intelligence gave you confidence." Gamabunta teleported back to Mount Myōboku.

Ten minutes later, Naruto was summoned back to Mount Myōboku. Ten minutes after that, he performed a brief initiation ceremony after informing the Sage.

He let the toad jump into his mouth.

"Bang!!"

Next, Naruto teleported back to the mountain pass of Kumogakure, then sat cross-legged, collected natural energy, and caused the Sage Mask to appear on his face.

This is another layer of insurance, used to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

Then, Toad Tiger emerged again, inputting chakra in the order of [Rat-Noon-Pig], and the key activated the seal, which was then released.

Naruto nodded to Gamabunta, then immediately entered the mental space.

"It's all set, now only the last step remains."

Naruto took off his coat, pulled up his sleeves, and revealed the double Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal on his abdomen.

Spread your right hand out flat, with your five fingers slightly bent, and make a 'clasping' motion towards your stomach.

"Crack!"

All that could be heard was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock, and Naruto slowly spun around in circles.

Kurama stood up, breathing heavily, staring intently at Naruto's hand movements.

At this moment, Naruto's movements slowed and sluggish: "Kurama, your condition is not right, adjust."

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately calmed herself down and began to calm her body.

It began to slowly retreat, compressing all its chakra into the inner layer of the seal. On the surface, it retreated to the depths of the prison, simulating a state of calm.

In Naruto's toad-like pupils, Kurama's chakra was like unfathomable seawater.

When it talks to Naruto, the seawater rises and falls constantly, like encountering unpredictable weather. When Kurama gets excited, it can even cause a 'storm'.

Now, the sea is incredibly calm. To put it figuratively, it doesn't resemble an ocean between continents, but rather a Dead Sea inland open to tourists.

Even if Naruto, the tourist, jumped into the sea right now, he would most likely not drown; at most, his tongue would be salted to death.

The key continued to spin to unlock, and Naruto summoned shadow clones that began to float onto the sealing talisman, his breathing becoming rapid.

Naruto is gambling that if Kurama remains calm, Minato's backup plan won't be triggered.

This was the conclusion he reached after a long period of research.

"Phew... Give it your all, buddy..."

Naruto, panting, slowly approached. He noticed that Kurama's ocean of chakra was beginning to ripple, so he stopped moving. Kurama immediately calmed down.

Continue moving.

The clone touches the talisman with one finger.

Nothing happened.

This gave the clone confidence, and he then began to carefully peel the talisman inwards along its edges, like a high school student with OCD slowly tearing off a celebrity sticker from his desk.

"Squeak..."

As a faint sound gradually approached, the clone suddenly had the déjà vu of 'a student on duty using their fingernails to scratch the blackboard,' and stopped, shivering.

Continue scraping.

Naruto himself suddenly felt a sense of unease and flashed behind the passing Naruto, quietly observing the process.

He didn't disturb them, but his brow furrowed slightly.

Of course, I knew about Naruto's actions, but I felt that some key elements seemed to have been overlooked.

At this moment, he sensed that the psychological shadow of Chuan Yueming was becoming unsettling, so he quickly went back to suppress it.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; even the sound of dripping water had disappeared, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Squeak..."

Fine beads of sweat trickled down the clone's forehead; a small portion of the talisman in his hand had already been torn off.

He then gently pinched both ends of the talisman with his fingers and rolled it down like a roll of paper.

ten seconds...

Twenty seconds...

Thirty seconds...

It has to be said that this was a level of tension that Naruto had never experienced in all his years of training in chakra precision.

It was a simple action, but it made Naruto sweat profusely.

Nine-Tails was even more nervous than him at this moment. He was studying the deepest part of the wall, and his two claws were raised involuntarily, like a criminal being caught by the police and having his claws raised. His posture was particularly comical.

"Gulp..." Kurama swallowed hard, and suddenly, it realized that Naruto had completely torn up the talisman!

"As expected." Naruto's clone breathed a sigh of relief, but did not immediately dispel it, instead waiting quietly to the side with the talisman in place.

If the tension is relieved, his fatigue and tension will immediately be transmitted to his body.

"Kakaka..."

The key turned slowly, and the spiral in the center of the door began to contract inwards, each step treading on the very heart of both the man and the beast. Five…

Four……

three……

……

"Crack!"

The last sound.

门，
opened.

Seeing the prison door gently 'blown' open by some unknown wind, Nine-Tails could no longer suppress its impulse and immediately rushed over in three steps at a time!

Boom boom boom!
Its footsteps made a huge sound in the prison. Naruto's clone was released, and his real body faced the strong wind brought by the Nine-Tails head-on. His sleeves and zipper fluttered in the wind, and his hair swayed from side to side!

"boom!!"

A metallic sound like a resounding drum came as the Nine-Tails opened the door wide and let out an extremely excited howl!

"Roar!!"

"Naruto!!"

The howl, like a seductive melody, suddenly lingered in Naruto's ears, and unsurprisingly, something unexpected happened next.

"Om-"

The moment Kurama pushed open the door, there was a sharp ringing in his ears, and then Naruto felt as if he had been suddenly thrown into the sea and was drowning, feeling as if he was suffocating!
This wasn't an overflow of chakra, nor did it seem like Kurama's deliberate malice, but it still made Naruto feel suffocated.

On Naruto's side.

"Buzzing—"

The psychological trauma that Ming carried with him could no longer be contained.

It seemed to have grasped at a straw, and at the moment the Nine-Tails was unsealed, it suddenly inhaled fresh air called 'malice', resonating with all the resentment in the ninja world.

"Damn it! I know, I know!" the true self roared, instantly clarifying everything.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has existed for a thousand years, and after a long struggle with countless humans, it has generated a great deal of hatred and resentment.

This doesn't mean that the Nine-Tails is an embodiment of hatred, but rather that its experiences have caused it to accumulate too much resentment.

These resentments are like lice on its body; because it hasn't been 'cleaned' for a long time, the resentment, along with negative emotions, remains on the Nine-Tailed Fox's body.

The moment it broke free of its cage, those resentments instantly resonated with the psychological shadow of the traversing Ming, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, instantly causing the inner demons to begin to grow!
Naruto realized something was wrong and first called out loudly for Kurama:
"Calm down! Calm down! Control your emotions!"

But Kurama was still immersed in ecstasy, running in and out of the prison gate like a child, ignoring Naruto's loud cries for help!

"Om-"

Despite his headache, Naruto had no choice but to resort to violence against Kurama.

He knew the child was excited, but told him not to get excited, or he'd be killed!

"Sage Art..." Naruto took a deep breath. In this critical moment, he unleashed almost all of his potential. He didn't even need to form hand seals; the technique formed automatically.

"Vacuum Dayama!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

A massive sphere of wind pressure, carrying an unparalleled force, slammed into the Nine-Tailed Fox! The Nine-Tailed Fox was shocked and retreated rapidly. Its two originally furry front paws revealed sharp claws, gripping the ground tightly to create distance and revealing several terrifying claw marks!

"Stop! Your resentment is affecting me!" Naruto shouted at Kurama, then collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud!
"Om..."

He looked up and saw his birth mother from before he transmigrated yelling at him.

This was a day he would never forget. It was exactly one hundred days before the college entrance examination, and on the night the school held a pep rally, his mother revealed to him the fact that his father had cheated on him and showed him the horrifying wound hidden in his sleeve.

Domestic violence and infidelity, words that were originally only found in TV dramas, were like a heavy hammer that completely shattered his mind.

My final college entrance exam score was nearly 50 points lower than my third mock exam score.

He looked at his mother, choked up, and said, "I'm sorry, Mom," before pushing her away and slamming open the door.

"boom!"

The moment I left home, I found myself returning to my mental space.

It seems to be a hallucination.

"Naruto! Where are you?!"

He started running wildly towards Naruto's location, following the path he remembered!
Deng Deng Deng!
"boom!!"

An extremely strong resentment instantly enveloped his body like a tornado, blowing him away. Even Sage Mode couldn't keep him balanced.

"Bang!" He fell to the ground with a thud, but his eyes remained clear.

He knew he was closer to the real person.

Just as he stood up, a chubby hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder, and he turned to his college roommate and class monitor.

The class monitor pushed up his glasses and said regretfully:

"It's a pity that I was just one place short of being awarded 'Outstanding Graduate' in terms of overall GPA ranking. And then there's the 'Outstanding Graduate' job fair..."

"I know, I'll take the test myself later."

"But it's a real shame, you were so close to getting a permanent position."

He shook his head, moved the class monitor's hand away, and continued running deeper into the area where Naruto himself was.

Deng Deng Deng!
He started sweating profusely; he had to admit that the journey was longer than he had imagined.

Strange, why can't he fly there in an instant like he does in the ninja world?

"Hey!"

He turned his head and looked at his colleague, waving the electric scooter keys in his hand.

"Are you taking it or not?"

"Oh, oh... take it, take it."

Take the key, insert it into the lock, and start the electric scooter.

The car suddenly accelerated, and he finally got a moment's relaxation, lazily enjoying the breeze along the road. Just then, his cell phone rang.

Unaware of the incongruity, he instinctively pulled out his phone to answer, while keeping his other hand on the handlebars.

"What?! What are you thinking about Mom?!"

"grass!"

He looked in the right-side rearview mirror, but the next moment, a food delivery vehicle turned on the left and collided directly with the front of his car.

"boom!!!"

The sudden collision gave him a splitting headache. In a daze, a traffic policeman strode over, looked at him, and said:

"Let's mediate. The traffic police have ruled that you are secondarily at fault. The nursing care expenses, lost wages, and nutritional expenses add up to a lot of money. Let's try to negotiate a figure that is acceptable to both parties."

"Okay, thank you, Judge... Wait, aren't you a traffic police officer?"

This sense of unease made him realize that he was being influenced by his inner demons.

Memories from before the transmigration began to surface in a jumbled mess.

He pushed it away, and his mind returned to his spiritual space. He could now see the outline of Naruto himself.

Watching his step carefully and avoiding any possible distractions, he finally made contact with Naruto himself and grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey!"

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head and saw Naruto Uzumaki.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and my dream is to get a Jonin rank... and then just relax."

Naruto was stunned.

This is himself right after he traveled through time.
