Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The body of Shukaku slowly dissipated, the condensed yellow sand scattered on the ground, the black lines disappeared, and Gaara's body flowed out of the yellow sand, which looked like a scene of being washed to the beach by the waves.

Sasuke, whose chakra was almost exhausted, gasped: "Success?"

After using ninjutsu for a long time, even the curse seal began to shrink back to the neck, and Shukaku finally disappeared.

"Naruto?" Sasuke, who did not hear Naruto's response, turned his head in confusion, but his face changed drastically in an instant.

At this moment, Naruto's face was pale, almost no blood color was seen, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't even hear Sasuke's words.

Sasuke supported Naruto with his hands and said anxiously: "Naruto!"

Naruto probably heard Sasuke's voice, and his distracted eyes regained some consciousness. He turned his head and looked at Sasuke, his voice hoarse and without a trace of anger: "Sasuke... Konoha... Shukaku..."

"Konoha is safe, Shukaku was defeated by us." Sasuke spoke without hesitation, pointing at Gaara in the sand in front, "The Sand Ninja guy is lying there, we just need to catch him."

"We... won?" Naruto seemed a little unbelievable. His distracted eyes made him unable to see the things in front of him clearly, and he could only mechanically support Kurama's chakra not to disappear.

"We won!" Sasuke nodded heavily.

Naruto smiled, a clean smile appeared on his pale face, the arc was small but extremely obvious: "Great... ..."

The moment the last word "了" fell, the huge Kurama chakra aggregate suddenly dissipated, the golden chakra wrapped around Naruto's body stopped flowing, the black seal pattern on his stomach gradually faded, and the chakra stopped flowing out.

As the power supporting his body disappeared, Naruto collapsed and fell to Sasuke powerlessly. Originally, the two were in Kurama's head, and now Kurama dissipated, the two of them also fell directly to the ground.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and lifted Naruto up, controlling his body to fall to the ground, at least to ensure that this guy would not be injured...

Fortunately, at the moment when the two were about to land, Kakashi and Asuma had jumped to their side, one on the left and one on the right to protect the two in the middle, and landed safely.

Sasuke staggered, but he still looked at Naruto at the first time, and Naruto had completely fainted at this moment.

Not only did Naruto endure more tailed beast chakra than he could bear, but he also controlled the flow of chakra beyond his limit, and even used moves like the tailed beast jade. Naruto's current physical condition is not optimistic.

Kakashi slowly put Naruto on the ground, and tore off Naruto's shirt with a heavy face. As the ninja lining was taken off, the shocking scars on Naruto's skin appeared in front of everyone.

Hong screamed and covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief: "Such injuries! How did he hold on until now?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

Under the cover of the outer clothes, Naruto's skin was almost completely burned by Kurama's chakra, and the scarlet muscles and blood vessels were exposed. You can even see the white bones in his arms, the flesh and blood smelled of burnt, and the tendons and bones were pitch black. The whole person looked like he had just been carried out of the fire.

Skin? Except for the face, there was no place on Naruto's body that was intact.

Asuma lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The smoke was exhaled, but the air was stuck in his chest without any intention of expressing it.

Kakashi took off his jonin vest with difficulty, wrapped Naruto in it, and then held Naruto carefully as if he was holding a work of art: "Asuma, Hong, Sasuke, that Sand Ninja kid is in your hands. I'm going to send Naruto to Konoha Hospital."

Kakashi's voice was very calm, steady without any shaking, but Asuma and Hong, who knew Kakashi, knew what this meant.

Since the death of Rin, Obito, and the Minato couple, Kakashi has never spoken in this tone again. The last time he spoke like this was after his father committed suicide. At that time, Kakashi was so rational that it was frightening.

Hong opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Asuma next to her reached out to stop her, shook her head gently and said to Kakashi: "Leave it to us, this is what we should do."

Yes, this is what we should do.

Kakashi took a deep breath and suddenly disappeared from the spot. He used Lightning Release and Instant Body Technique alternately to ensure that his speed reached the fastest theoretically. Of course, the chakra consumption would also be reduced.

Rapidly increasing, but now is not the time to talk about this.

The cold wind blew on Kakashi, watching the barren land around him retreat behind him. Kakashi looked at Naruto's only intact face, the short golden hair, the iconic beard, and recalled the reliable appearance before, the courage to resist the tailed beast.

His fists clenched tighter and tighter.

"Minato teacher, did I do something wrong?"

Kakashi asked himself.

...

"Hey, Naruto, if you don't wake up, you will never wake up." Kurama kept knocking on the prison door like a hungry husky.

Outside the prison door, Naruto was lying in the water intact. Although his face was still pale, it was at least countless times better than the miserable appearance outside.

Perhaps the sound of knocking on the cell door was too loud. The next moment, Naruto opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the sealed space with a distracted look: "Am I... dead?"

"What a surprise, you are not dead." Kurama put down the hand that was knocking on the cell door and picked his nose with disdain. "If you are not dead, get up quickly. While you have just borrowed so much chakra from me, get familiar with it quickly and let your body adapt to this power."

Hearing Kurama's words, Naruto's eyes, which were originally a little distracted, instantly gathered, and the whole person lay on the ground powerlessly: "Kuruma, you are even more excessive than the lecherous sage. The lecherous sage at least knew that I had the ability to push me off the cliff. Now you let me get up and get familiar with your chakra. Will I really not die?"

"Ha, who are you looking down on." Kurama looked at him with disdain, "If that level of chakra is condensed, it will be at most the level of four to five tails. Relying on your Uzumaki clan's physique, it is highly likely that you will not die."

"No one! Knows whirlpools better than me." Kurama's face was full of seriousness.

Naruto: "..."

Although he didn't know what Kurama was saying, Naruto always felt that this guy was mocking him.

Naruto propped up his body with a bitter face. Even a spiritual body would feel tired, not to mention that his body was still in a state of serious injury.

But there was no way, Kurama was indeed more strict than the lecherous sage.

Sitting cross-legged in the water, Naruto closed his eyes and made hand seals to refine chakra.

Kurama was very satisfied with Naruto's current state, but he still had to say: "Oh, by the way, your body has been eroded by my chakra, and you will probably not be able to use chakra for a long time, not only my chakra, but also your own chakra."

Of course it will heal itself, but this time the injury is too serious, and the time for self-healing is estimated to be very long. Kurama didn't know how long it would take.

It's just right to take advantage of this time to do something.

Thinking of this, Kurama couldn't help but grin.
