Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 358 Battle in the Inner World

"Ordinary physical attacks... are ineffective?" Minato Namikaze frowned slightly as he saw Urashiki recover in the blink of an eye after landing a successful attack. "Then, let's test the effect of ninjutsu next."

He quickly formed a simple shadow clone seal with both hands.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several shadow clones of Minato Namikaze appeared instantly! All the clones disappeared from their original positions at the same time, and then, almost at the same instant, appeared precisely in different locations on the battlefield.

At the same time, Minato raised his right hand, and on his palm, azure chakra spun rapidly, instantly forming a Rasengan!

"Hmph, boring, inferior creature's technique!" Urashiki hovered in mid-air, giving Minato's tactical change a disdainful snort, casually raising his arm.

however--

"Whoosh!"

The moment Urashiki raised his hand, Minato's figure appeared without warning directly in front of Urashiki, right at arm's length!

The distance between the two was not even enough for Urashiki to fully block with his arm!

"What?!" Urashiki hadn't even seen how Minato moved!

Having successfully launched a sneak attack with the Flying Thunder God kunai for the first time, Minato had already left the Flying Thunder God technique mark on Urashiki's "consciousness body"!

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

"Shinra Ten...!!"

Urashiki hastily tried to use his repulsive force to deflect Minato, but Minato's attack was faster than his mental intention!

"Bang--!!!"

The Rasengan, imbued with powerful chakra and spinning cutting force, struck Urashiki squarely in the chest, which he hadn't been able to fully defend against in his haste!

"Ugh—!"

Urashi let out a painful groan, and his whole body flew backward uncontrollably.

"Bang!"

He crashed heavily to the ground some distance away, leaving a shocking, enormous hole in his chest, with red energy points constantly emanating from its edges!

However, under the focused gaze of Minato and Kurama, the wound that was enough to kill any physical life instantly began to heal rapidly from the edge, and was restored to its original state in just two or three breaths.

"This...?!" Minato's eyes narrowed. While Urashiki had strong recovery abilities during battles outside, he never possessed such near-instantaneous regeneration or "immortality."

"The Yondaime!"

Just then, Kurama's voice, suppressing immense emotions, boomed out. Minato turned his head and saw Kurama's beastly eyes staring at him fiercely.

"Just this once! I'll lend you my power!" The Nine-Tails' voice was filled with undeniable authority, carrying a final, ultimatum-like warning. "You'd better promise... this time, you really can save Naruto! Otherwise... you can just go back to the Shinigami realm forever!"

Before the words were even finished, the nine-tailed fox's enormous claws had already formed a hand seal!

"boom--!!!"

The next instant, Minato felt an unimaginable surge of chakra into the chakra pathway within his body that had always maintained his existence and was connected to the Nine-Tails!

Golden chakra light burst forth from his body, transforming into a shimmering golden chakra cloak with chakra flames fluttering at its edges!

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode! And it's the complete form, empowered by Kurama's full power!

"Yes! Thank you!" Minato immediately responded in a deep voice. In fact, during the attack just now, he had already vaguely sensed some clues behind Urashiki's "immortality" characteristic. Now, he needed more powerful strength to verify his conjecture and execute the next step of the plan.

He completely ignored the threat of "failure consequences" in Kurama's words. Because, compared to the possibility that his own wisp of chakra consciousness might dissipate due to overconsumption... the pain of losing his son and having Naruto replaced by the monster before him was a thousand times more despairing for Minato! Even if Kurama didn't pursue the matter afterward, he would never forgive himself.

"roar--!!!"

On the other side, the Nine-Tails let out a deafening roar, the hatred, anxiety, and destructive desire contained within it a hundred times stronger than when it was controlled by Madara Uchiha with his Sharingan! Because what it was about to protect was the most important and special existence in this world to it.

It suddenly opened its massive maw, aiming at Urashiki, who had just recovered and whose face was grim! A Tailed Beast Ball, its size constantly expanding, quickly condensed and took shape! The violent chakra fluctuations, like a tangible hurricane, swept across the entire grassland of the spiritual world, causing the lake water to surge with huge waves and the grass to be flattened!

An unprecedented killing intent! If Naruto were to be seriously injured, even tearing this Otsutsuki to pieces would not quell the Kurama's hatred! It had even prepared for the worst; if the situation spiraled out of control, it would not hesitate to use forbidden powers at the cost of its own existence!

Meanwhile, as the Nine-Tails gathered its power, Minato's mind raced, calmly analyzing the current situation.

According to Urashiki's earlier "confession," he currently exists within Naruto as a data compression entity called "Wedge." His power is gradually "adapting," "thawing," and merging with Naruto's body.

Minato also clearly sensed that a vast, cold, and aggressive aura of a different kind of chakra was constantly spreading from the "depths" of his spiritual world, and its concentration was slowly and steadily increasing.

Just now, at the moment when the Rasengan struck Urashiki, causing him "damage" and sending him flying—the ever-increasing concentration of Otsutsuki chakra noticeably paused for a moment! Although it quickly resumed its upward trend, this brief interruption was crucial!

"I see……"

Urashiki's current state is not true "immortality." His consciousness is closely connected to the diffused Ōtsutsuki chakra.

Each time you are "injured" or use your power, it consumes or interferes with the chakra that is in the process of "adapting", thus temporarily slowing down the "thawing" speed.

His eyes turned icy cold. He decided to test whether his guess was correct.

"Awooo—!!!!"

At this moment, Kurama completed its charge, and the Tailed Beast Ball shot towards Urashiki like a meteor!

"It's no use! Do you think you can do anything to me?!" Urashiki looked at the Tailed Beast Ball that was hurtling towards him. Although his expression changed slightly, he remained defiant.

His body began to transform into countless scarlet energy origami cranes once again, intending to use the same trick as before, employing a similar "elementalization" ability to evade the attack.

"You talk too much nonsense."

However, a cold voice rang out almost right next to the scattered origami cranes.

With a flash of golden light, Minato appeared precisely in front of the core position where the origami cranes were about to regroup!

Behind him, in the distance—was one of the locations of the shadow clones that had been arranged in advance! One of the shadow clones had already assumed a specific posture, its hands forming a hand seal.

Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!

"What...?!" Urashiki's scattered consciousness sensed a strong spatial fluctuation, but it was too late!

Just as he was about to dodge the jet-black Tailed Beast Ball, it seemed to collide with an invisible spatial mirror, instantly changing its trajectory and disappearing from its original spot!

The next second—

Just as the group of origami cranes was about to regroup, a gap suddenly tore open in the space!

The Tailed Beast Ball, containing destructive power, returned and exploded from the center point of Urashiki's "body" that was about to take shape!

"boom--!"

Explosion and energy annihilation! A jet-black sphere of destruction completely engulfed the area! Blinding light and violent chakra turbulence swept in all directions!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The light and smoke slowly dissipated.

That area was completely empty, not even a trace of red energy remained.

However, neither Minato nor Kurama relaxed their vigilance.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, the swirling Otsutsuki chakra in the surrounding air began to converge at an accelerated pace again, and red specks of light emerged from the void like snowflakes falling in reverse, quickly condensing...

The slightly ethereal figure of Pu Shi, but with even greater shock and anger in its eyes, slowly reappeared!

"...It seems that this is where his 'confidence' comes from."

Minato calmly observed the entire process of Urashiki's "resurrection," confirming most of his guesses.

"It cannot be 'destroyed' by conventional means. As long as the data and fusion process of [Karma] are still there, it can continue to 'regenerate'. Each time it is 'destroyed', it only causes the Otsutsuki chakra that is adapting to Naruto's body to stagnate and become disordered for a moment, delaying the fusion time."

Consciousness exists by relying on the data of the [Karma] and diffused chakra, and it is indeed difficult to "eliminate" by conventional means.

But... if it cannot be "eliminated"...

A familiar and effective plan instantly came to mind.

What about sealing techniques?
