Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 401 Wukong: Are your eyes sick?

"Come with me, Naruto, kid. Your training will be inside the waterfall from now on."

Killer Bee said to Naruto as he walked toward the Real Waterfall.

"Alright! I will definitely train hard!" Naruto followed along, full of fighting spirit and eager to get started.

Following the two, Yamato and Goku also strolled in, passing through the real waterfall and entering a hidden space inside.

"I never imagined there was a place like this inside." Yamato looked around at the ancient stone walls and platforms, as well as the patterns and textures on the stone walls that exuded a long history, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"This is a very ancient place. It was later discovered by our Hidden Cloud Village and used as a training ground for Jinchuriki. Every Jinchuriki trains here," Killer Bee explained without turning his head.

The group followed him to a stone wall. Looking up, they saw a beast's head with its mouth wide open embedded in the wall, seemingly waiting for someone to stick their head in and bite it off.

"Naruto, you brat, stick your head in there."

Naruto was wondering why there was a beast head here when he suddenly heard Killer Bee's words, and he was immediately stunned.

"Put it in?" He looked at Killer Bee with a puzzled expression.

"That's right! Naruto brat! This is the place to test whether you have truly passed the Trial of the Real Waterfall. When you stick your head in, if there is no darkness in your heart, a door will open here. If there is still darkness in your heart, then this bronze beast will bite off your head!" Killer Bee replied.

Upon hearing this explanation, Naruto's face froze.

"Bite, bite off my head?!"

Yamato's face froze. He looked at Killer Bee in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment, "That was way too dangerous!"

Wukong was somewhat curious: was this stone beast alive? Otherwise, how could it bite off someone's head?

So he reached out and touched it, then stuck his head inside, curiously examining the scene inside the beast's mouth.

!!!

Yamato's eyes widened in surprise.

No, Wukong, you, you just put it in there?

Although we know you have no darkness in your heart, what if this thing malfunctions?

Just as he was internally ranting a thousand times, Wukong had already pulled his head out, looked at everyone, scratched his head, and said in a silly tone, "This thing isn't alive."

"Of course it's not alive; it's just a mechanism at best." Yamato said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

At this moment, Naruto saw that Goku was alright, and he finally made up his mind. He closed his eyes and prepared to stick his head into the beast's mouth.

Before he could make a move, he heard a cracking sound coming from the stone wall.

Immediately afterwards, a large, brightly lit door appeared before them.

"Ah! I forgot! Goku has already opened this door!" Naruto was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that because Goku had stuck his head in, the stone wall had been unlocked as Killer Bee had said.

Yamato blinked, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

That's good, this way Naruto won't have to risk his life!

But to his surprise, Naruto didn't want to take this shortcut and said to Killer Bee, "Hey, Uncle Octopus, hurry up and lock it up, I haven't even started yet!"

A glint of light flashed on Killer Bee's sunglasses as he said, "Are you really sure, Naruto brat? If there's even a hint of darkness in your heart, you'll lose your head!"

Naruto shrank back, then subconsciously swallowed. He looked at Killer Bee with a serious and determined gaze: "Of course! I believe I can pass, Uncle Octopus!"

"Hey! Naruto, why don't we just give up? If something goes wrong with you, I won't be able to explain it to the Hokage!" Yamato was still trying to persuade him, but the two of them ignored him.

Therefore, Yamato could only transfer his plea for help to Goku, hoping that Goku could persuade Naruto.

But he miscalculated. Goku couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes at all. Seeing him blinking frantically, he just looked at him strangely and said, "Huh? Uncle Yamato, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking so much?"

Yamato: ...With Killer Bee casually pressing a spot on the stone wall, the gate on the stone wall closed again.

Under Yamato's tense gaze, Naruto resolutely stuck his head into the beast's mouth.

And then... nothing happened.

"Yes! I knew I could do it!" Naruto pulled his head out and excitedly raised his hands.

"Naruto, you brat, there's something I need to tell you."

Killer Bee suddenly spoke as the stone wall creaked once more, revealing the large door from before.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, looking at him in confusion.

"You idiot, fool, moron, I was lying to you all along. What biting off the head? That didn't happen!" Killer Bee left with a rap line and then dashed into the doorway.

Naruto paused for a second.

What? You're lying, you're lying to me?

Realizing what had happened, he was instantly furious, yelling as he chased after the octopus man, "Damn it! Uncle Octopus! Is this really fun?!"

Yamato was somewhat dumbfounded.

So it turns out they don't really lose their heads. Killer Bee has a really twisted sense of humor; he actually believed what he was doing.

In a space filled with a mysterious yellow light from all sides, Naruto, Killer Bee, and Yamato sat cross-legged.

As for Wukong, after finding nothing interesting about the place, he left alone to continue his training outside.

"Naruto, overcoming your dark side is only the first step in your training. Next, you need to seize the Nine-Tails' chakra. I will help you in this process, but you will have to rely on your own strength for the vast majority of it."

Killer Bee stopped laughing and joking and spoke seriously to Naruto.

"I understand, Uncle Octopus." Naruto nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

...

As he closed his eyes and entered meditation, he soon found himself in his own mental space.

Before him, the Nine-Tails' enormous body lay in the cage. Upon seeing him, it opened its murderous eyes and stood up abruptly.

"Naruto, you want to steal my power?"

Naruto looked up and nodded: "That's right, Kurama, I really need your power right now."

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes, its killing intent seeming to intensify.

Naruto didn't answer. He floated up and flew straight to the Bagua seal on the cage door that sealed the Nine-Tails. He reached out and prepared to remove the outermost talisman.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tails' body instantly became restless.

Is this kid going to release me?

but-

Just as Naruto's hand touched the talisman, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of Naruto, and then a young man wearing a white cloak and with golden hair exactly like Naruto appeared in front of him, grabbing Naruto's wrist and stopping him from taking off the talisman.

"You can't take this off, Naruto." The young man looked at Naruto with a warm, sunny smile.

Naruto was stunned, staring in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You, you are...."

'

His pupils dilated uncontrollably, his gaze fixed on the face of the man before him.

Ever since he heard about his parents from Jiraiya, he received a photograph, a picture of Jiraiya with his parents.

During this time, whenever he had time, he would take out the photos and examine them for a long time, silently gazing at his parents whom he had never met.

This isn't exactly about missing someone; it's a very complex emotion.

Although he learned about his parents from Jiraiya, giving a faint outline to the previously vague image of his parents in his mind, it was ultimately just an outline obtained from someone else's words, lacking any sense of reality.

Therefore, an unbridgeable distance still exists between him and his parents; he can see them, but not clearly, and their vision is even gradually blurring.

In order to prevent his parents' images from becoming increasingly blurred, he could only take out the photos from time to time to examine them closely, but after each glance, the blurring process continued slowly.

Now, when that blurry image suddenly overlapped with the person in front of him, the image became clear in an instant, bringing a great shock to his mind.

"Naruto, you've grown up. You're just as handsome as I was back then." Minato smiled gently, his eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness.

"You...you are the Fourth Hokage, my...my..." Naruto choked up, his eyes quickly turning red.

"It seems you already knew about this. Did the Third Hokage or Jiraiya-sensei tell you?"

"Yes, he is the lecherous immortal."

"The Perverted Sage... that's Jiraiya-sensei, right? He really does fit that nickname quite well." Minato smiled slightly.

Meanwhile, far away at the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters, Jiraiya suddenly sneezed: "Achoo! Which girl is thinking of me?"

"Fourth Hokage! I never expected you to show up again!"

While Minato was talking to Naruto, the Nine-Tails behind Minato had already stood up completely, staring intently at his back, gritting its teeth.

Minato ignored the Nine-Tails' roar, his smile fading as he earnestly said to Naruto, "My time is limited, Naruto. This seal cannot be easily broken, otherwise not only will you be in great danger, but the entire..."

The entire ninja world will also be in great danger.

"I know. There's a guy in the ninja world named Uchiha Madara who's trying to collect all nine tailed beasts to achieve his so-called Eye of the Moon Plan. So far, he's already got seven of them," Naruto replied earnestly, wiping away his tears.

"Uchiha Madara? Wasn't that person dead?" Minato's pupils contracted slightly.

Things seemed to be developing in a way that exceeded his expectations.

Could it be that the masked man who created the Nine-Tails' rampage and called himself Uchiha Madara was actually Uchiha Madara himself?!

"Yeah, he had been dead for a long time, but he came back to life." Naruto clenched his fists tightly as he mentioned this, his face filled with sadness and anger.

After the Five Kage Summit, he learned of Nagato's death from Tsunade.

He was completely unable to accept it at the time, and remained in a daze for a long time.

They had worked so hard to get to this point, and both Nagato and Konan were willing to contribute their efforts to true peace. But why did Nagato die just when the dawn of peace was beginning to appear?

"Resurrection? It seems a lot has happened," Minato said solemnly.

"Naruto, besides Madara Uchiha, there is a masked man you need to be careful of. He is also coveting the power of the tailed beasts. He was the one who caused the Nine-Tails' rampage back then."

"I know, he's in cahoots with Madara Uchiha." Naruto nodded.

"I see, that explains it." Although he didn't know the whole story, Minato quickly figured it out with his clever mind.

"Dad... Dad, can I call you that...?" Naruto suddenly sniffed and asked with red eyes.

"Of course, you are my son, Naruto. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to be by your side all these years." Minato raised his hand and gently ruffled Naruto's hair.

Although it was just a projection of chakra, Naruto felt warmth coming from above his head, and his nose felt even more sore.

"Dad! I... I always thought I was an orphan until the Perverted Sage told me your story. I... I really want to see you and Mom, and I want you to stay by my side forever!" Naruto suddenly threw himself into Minato's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Minato gently patted Naruto's back, his eyes filled with guilt and heartache.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, you've suffered all these years."

Naruto sobbed in his father's arms for a while, then pulled away, wiped away his tears, and said, "Father, I know there's danger in breaking the seal, but I came here today to control the Nine-Tails' power. I must obtain the Nine-Tails' power to protect everyone in the upcoming war!"

Minato stared intently into his eyes, and when he saw the unwavering determination in them, he suddenly smiled and said, "I understand, Naruto. In that case, go for it. I believe you will succeed."

"Yes, yes!" Naruto nodded firmly.

Then... he reached out and swiftly removed the talisman that he hadn't taken off earlier.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned the key to the Bagua Seal that Jiraiya had given him, and used it to open the final barrier of the Bagua Seal.

boom!!!

In an instant, a surge of violent chakra rose from the prison. Kurama bared its sharp fangs, its nine fiery red tails swaying back and forth behind it. Its murderous eyes were fixed on Naruto and Minato before it pounced on them.

"Roar!!! Naruto! I can't believe you actually let me go!!"

Naruto and Minato vanished from their original spots in an instant. The next second, Naruto condensed a giant Rasengan and slammed it straight at Kurama's head.

However, this powerful attack was easily deflected by the Nine-Tails' tail, and Naruto was also swept away.

"Naruto! Only chakra can fight against chakra. I'll help you suppress the Nine-Tails now; you use your chakra to steal its chakra!"

Killer Bee's voice suddenly rang out in the space.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Eight-Tailed Fox appeared here, and its eight huge tails instantly wrapped around the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Roar!! I never expected you, Eight-Tails, to team up with this brat against me! You've truly disgraced the Tailed Beasts!"
