Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　White Fang's sharpness makes it one of the top-ranked weapons in the ninja world.

　After ten years of honing his skills, Hatake Sakumo unsheathed his blade, and the White Fang of Konoha shone brightly throughout the ninja world.

　It can be said that in this day and age, there is nothing that White Fang cannot cut through.

　A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by a dazzling burst of lightning that enveloped everything in an instant, as if splitting the heavens and earth, shattering endless chaos! A split second before the Nine-Tails' massive tail slammed into Kushina, Sakumo Hatake appeared using the Body Flicker Technique, and with a single slash, he forcefully cleaved the tail in two, severing it completely! "Roar!"

　The Nine-Tails, now in its tailed beast form, howled in agony, its severed tail lying on the ground—a gruesome sight.

　The remaining chakra actually incinerated the earth, turning it into a charred mess.

　This is not the Nine-Tails' true form; it is merely the Nine-Tails turning into a tailed beast in retaliation against its Jinchūriki.

　That tail segment was merely energy; it dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

　But for tailed beasts, losing a tail is a disgrace, something they cannot tolerate! And the Nine-Tails is incredibly proud and arrogant; it's not like the Eight-Tails… a fool who casually breaks off a tail for fun.

　"Sakumo, you're here! Just in time!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a look of relief; with Sakumo around, his pressure would be greatly reduced.

　Moreover, even Sakumo Hatake was shocked and threatened by that last strike! It was too sharp! Unlike the indestructible Monkey King's Staff, which contained the power of a thousand thunderbolts...

　Instead, the power is concentrated at a single point and explodes, releasing its force in an instant that makes the world lose its color.

　Hatake's swordsmanship is terrifying! Kushina also showed signs of relief, having almost died.

　"Not just me, there's someone else!"

　Sakumo Hatake chuckled, his White Fang Blade crackling with electricity, the sound of which was like the cry of a thousand birds.

　"Who else is there?"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi's doubts

　At this moment, the enraged Nine-Tails gathered its energy, splitting its enormous maw. Naturally, both blue and black powers converged, and the Tailed Beast Ball condensed in an instant.

　They are still within the Four Red Yang Formation. If this Tailed Beast Ball were to erupt, no one inside the formation would survive; they would all be annihilated by the immense energy! The reason Tailed Beasts are so terrifying isn't because they are ugly or frightening! It's because the power they contain is an astronomical, inexhaustible quantity! One Tailed Beast Ball is worth more than 100,000 soldiers! Controlling a Tailed Beast is equivalent to controlling the most extreme weapon in the world. If ninjas are like streams and lakes, then Tailed Beasts are like mighty rivers! "Die, humans!"

　With a roar, the Nine-Tails unleashed its Tailed Beast Ball.

　In a fraction of a second, life! "Shinra Tensei!"

　High in the sky, at the top of the Four Crimson Sun Formation, the shadow hovered! As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying repulsive force pressed down from all directions, an invisible force rolling in like a raging storm.

　Nine-Tails subconsciously looked up, and then in an instant, its entire body was forcefully pressed to the ground, the earth shattered and torn to pieces.

　Rumble! The immense repulsive force shattered the ground, sweeping outwards in all directions, and the overwhelming dust billowed like a wild horse.

　Countless pebbles and clods of earth flew through the air, and the ground shook violently. "What happened?"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi looked completely bewildered. "What kind of ninjutsu was that?!" he exclaimed.

　Sakumo Hatake laughed, his gaze fixed on the sky.

　Kushina subconsciously

　(1/3)

　Her heart skipped a beat, and an unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind.

　Following Sakumo's gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the night sky, at the figure beneath the crimson blood moon! That was!!! A black-clad ANBU member, a ferocious Rakshasa.

　The mask, the slender and ghostly figure, like a messenger of the night.

　"Ye Chen!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise, "The one who came is actually him!"

　In other words, that power just now was unleashed by Ye Chen! What kind of power is this! Formless and intangible, yet seemingly omnipresent, it actually crushed the Nine-Tails in one move! Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the giant crater in the center of the formation. At this moment, Mito Uzumaki had already shed her tailed beast form, and her raging chakra seemed to have calmed down.

　Ye Chen descended from the sky; using the power of the Gravity Fruit, he could fly.

　The unique feature of the Gravity Fruit is that it not only controls downward gravity, but the host can also change the direction of gravity.

　It can move upwards, downwards, left, or right! In a sense, it's more like vector manipulation, that is, defining the direction of physical forces! "Are you alright?"

　Ye Chen landed on the ground, walked up to Kushina, and asked...

　Looking at the person in front of her, Kushina could no longer hold back and threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, bursting into tears.

　That was terrifying! What I just experienced! "Ye Chen, you came just in time!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but say

　"Yes, if I had arrived even a second later..."

　You should all be wiped out by now.

　Ye Chen said

　This wasn't a joke; once the Tailed Beast Ball is launched, everything within a radius of tens of miles will be razed to the ground.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi is powerful and might escape unscathed, but he will certainly be severely injured! Kushina, however, is a different story.

　Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave an embarrassed smile and said, "This is my dereliction of duty. As Hokage, I will definitely protect every single person in Konoha."

　Can the sealing process continue?

　Sakumo Hatake asked

　I'm not familiar with this aspect.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. All the sealing techniques he knew were deadly; sealing the Nine-Tails was a first for him.

　"If Grandma were still conscious, perhaps they could work together to seal it, but now..."

　Kushina alone could not complete the Nine-Tails seal.

　Does that mean a child with an axe is invincible? No, that's not how you use strength.

　A soft rustling sound! The crater ahead trembled. "Mito Uzumaki"

　Her body stirred, and she suddenly woke up.

　Her eyes opened, revealing the Nine-Tails' pupils! Clearly, the Nine-Tails was still controlling this body! Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank to the bottom, his expression grave.

　"It's you! You have the aura of the Five-Tails! You are the human who appeared in the spiritual space!"

　The Nine-Tailed Fox spoke coldly, constantly radiating a violent and terrifying aura.

　"Yes, it's me!"

　Ye Chen did not deny it

　"Five tails!"

　Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake's expression subtly changed, becoming somewhat strange.

　"No wonder the Five-Tails didn't help me, it was because of you. Heh, humans are so insidious, trying to control power that doesn't belong to them."

　Nine-Tailed Fox mocked

　"You're wrong, Nine-Tails! In my eyes, you're just a fox! The power of a tailed beast..."

　(2/3)

　The quantity is nothing special to me.

　"If you don't obediently accept the seal, I can only let you relive what it felt like to be in the hands of the First Hokage."

　Ye Chen said, "Prepare for a great battle."

Chapter 318 Golden Buddha vs. Complete Nine-Tailed Fox

　This content was first published (third update).

　The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju! This is someone Kurama (the Nine-Tails) never wanted to mention or even think about in his entire life.

　It's absolutely overpowered, with terrifying strength, making the strongest tailed beast look incredibly humiliating! Back then, whether it was Wood Golem or Buddha, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) vividly remembers being utterly crushed. Add to that the advantage of being countered by wood-style chakra, and it was truly incredibly frustrating.

　It's truly unforgivable that someone would mention that name in front of him again; the shadows of the past are resurfacing.

　The Nine-Tails is furious, and the consequences will be dire! "The Nine-Tails must be sealed. If this continues, Mito-senpai will perish due to the excessive strain on her body. Without Mito-senpai's chakra suppression, the Nine-Tails will truly be free."

　Hiruzen Sarutobi said

　Mito Uzumaki was among the oldest members of Konoha, already past her prime; how could she withstand the Nine-Tails' onslaught? A tailed beast cannot die with its Jinchūriki.

　Furthermore, once the Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast is essentially an ownerless object, freed from its restraints and regaining its freedom.

　The Three-Tails Isobu from the original work is a perfect example! After the death of the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Isobu became a wild tailed beast, spending its days swimming and carefree.

　The Nine-Tails is no... Isobu. Given his hatred for humans, once he gains his freedom, he'll surely turn the human world upside down! "Hokage, you should have a way!"

　Ye Chen asked

　"Yes, that technique comes at too high a price."

　Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice

　Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Hokage-sama, you intend to use that technique? You mustn't!"

　Sakumo Hatake knew about the Reaper Death Seal technique; he had also read the Scroll of Seals.

　After all, his rank is not low; in Konoha now, he's only second to the Hokage, and even against Danzo, he wouldn't be a match for him.

　Even if the Nine-Tails is sealed using the Reaper Death Seal, the cost would be the Hokage's life, a huge loss for Konoha.
