Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　With the Second Shinobi World War just won, if news of the Hokage's death were to spread now, that agreement would likely become worthless immediately! The four great nations, the four great ninja villages, and many smaller ninja villages would all turn their attention to Konoha! At that time, Konoha would truly be besieged on all sides, surrounded by enemies. One wrong move, and utter destruction wouldn't be out of the question! While it might not be completely wiped out, it would certainly suffer a devastating blow.

　"But there's nothing we can do now! Once the Nine-Tails escapes, that will be the real disaster!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

　No normal person wants to commit suicide! But the situation is special, what can be done? Although Ye Chen desperately wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to use the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Nine-Tails, so that he would have one less threat.

　After all, the Corpse Demon Seal is unbreakable; it's basically a guaranteed kill.

　But if Hiruzen Sarutobi dies, if he sacrifices himself, then the Fourth Shinobi World War will likely begin again, something Ye Chen doesn't want to see for the time being.

　He is not a saint; the lives and deaths of most people in this world are none of his concern.

　However, Ye Chen was worried that if Sarutobi Hiruzen died, the future might completely collapse, and everything would be out of control.

　Although my involvement has altered some aspects of ninja history, the overall trend remains unchanged. The tide of history continues its course, and everything is controllable and preventable.

　This will definitely be very helpful for him to carry out his secret plan in the future! "Let me deal with the Nine-Tails! If I can't defeat the Nine-Tails either, then you can use that technique, Hokage."

　Ye Chen said

　(1/2)

　"you"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, confused.

　What is Ye Chen up to? Is he serious about going up against the Nine-Tails? "Believe in Ye Chen."

　Sakumo Hatake appeared calm on the surface, but deep down he wasn't very confident either, after all, this was the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails' power far surpassed that of the Five-Tails.

　"hehe!"

　Repent for your choices!

　"Mito Uzumaki"

　With a sinister smile, he formed a hand seal—the incantation to break the seal! The next moment, an ominous aura filled and enveloped the entire night; the blood moon glowed crimson, and a chilling atmosphere descended.

　A crimson chakra, like a surging ocean, erupted from Mito Uzumaki's body, flowing endlessly and frantically converging towards the night sky! The power was unprecedented! A category 10 typhoon swept through the surrounding forest, howling incessantly, uprooting many trees and rocks! Boom! The Nine-Tails has emerged! The Four Red Yang Formation shattered instantly upon the appearance of the Nine-Tails' true form. After all, the barrier ninja was only a Jonin, not a Kage; they couldn't stop the Nine-Tails, much less withstand its massive body.

　"How is this possible? How could the Nine-Tails have appeared!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi broke out in a cold sweat; the backlash from being a Jinchūriki had now allowed the Nine-Tails to escape.

　That terrifying, oppressive, icy, and tangible aura was so clear, so close to the skin, that it made one's soul and blood tremble and freeze.

　It was as if the entire night was shrouded in the darkness of the nine-tailed fox, and the ominous beast, imprisoned for many years, broke free of its cage.

　In the distance, the villagers of Konoha, who were retreating, saw that enormous figure—the body of the Nine-Tails, its nine scarlet tails swaying in the air. They were all speechless with terror, their hearts trembling, their faces pale.

　The children were terrified and cried, a stark contrast to the roar! The Nine-Tailed Fox roared, its voice penetrating and powerful, like a torrent of water, its sound waves spreading in all directions, flattening countless forests, filling the sky with dust, causing landslides, and altering the course of mudslides and lakes.

　Having lost the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki collapsed weakly to the ground, her breath faint.

　Kushina Uzumaki immediately ran over and picked up her grandmother.

　"Mito-senpai! What should we do?"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice

　Mito Uzumaki's aura was weak, but she was not dead. This was due to the peculiar constitution of the Uzumaki clan. She murmured, "The power of the Nine-Tails is too great. I cannot seal it from the inside. It seems that I can only seal it from the outside, but I need you to weaken its power."

　"clear"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded emphatically.

　"Foolish woman, I thought it would take a lot of effort, but you actually broke all the seals in the end!"

　Nine-Tails said, looking down at Mito, whose whirlpool was no bigger than an ant in its eyes, with an indescribable smug arrogance.

　Mito Uzumaki remained silent. Rather than suffer a backlash, she decided to take a gamble, lure out the Nine-Tails, gain control of its body, and then gather all her power to seal it away.

　"You stupid fox, you're not exactly that clever either!"

　Ye Chen slowly approached the Nine-Tailed Fox, and with each step, a dazzling golden light appeared! In the void, a phantom resembling a benevolent golden ancient Buddha slowly emerged! The sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures seemed to linger in the night, with auspicious clouds filling the sky, shimmering with vibrant colors.

Chapter 319 Forcibly Feeding the Nine-Tailed Fox

　This content is being published for the first time... (First update)

　The pitch-black night, the crimson moon—everything foreshadowed misfortune and death! The villagers of Konoha trembled with despair! Who, besides the First Hokage, could stop the Nine-Tails? The enormous, mountain-like demon fox in the distance terrified them beyond belief! But then, a golden light shone forth, illuminating the darkness like a beacon, guiding the lost and helpless people.

　After many days, the Buddha reappeared! Ye Chen approached the Nine-Tailed Fox step by step, the golden light on his body growing brighter and brighter until finally, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, as if a deity had descended to earth.

　Although both are Buddha Fruits, Ye Chen doesn't transform himself into a golden body; instead, he summons a tangible golden phantom of an ancient Buddha, enveloping his entire body! It's similar in principle to Gundam: Susanoo, but even more dazzling! Buddhas exist in this world and are worshipped by ordinary people seeking protection.

　In the Fire Temple of Konoha, there was a high-ranking monk named Jiraiya who once easily defeated the zombie duo. However, he fell for Hidan's...immortal ninja trick and was killed by his scheme.

　This doesn't negate Jiraiya's strength; he's also very famous in Konoha, and ordinary people often go to the Fire Temple to burn incense and pray for protection.

　Even the daimyo of the Land of Fire once had a high-ranking monk from the Fire Temple personally protect him during an outing, demonstrating the high status of monks, which was no less than that of ninjas.

　As for Ye Chen's golden Buddha statue, it was unlike anything seen before, even more magnificent and solemn, filled with divine and Buddhist qualities, making people unable to help but worship upon seeing it.

　At this very moment, the Buddha's summoning was complete! Ye Chen's body was drawn to the Buddha, floating to the Buddha's brow and merging with it.

　"This...this is Buddha!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock; the intelligence already revealed that Yoru possessed the power to summon something similar to Gundam.

　This "Gundam" naturally refers to Buddha; such power is extremely rare.

　Very few people in the entire ninja world possess such a thing! Let alone a Buddha! Apart from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju! The Wood Release: Great Buddha swept across the ninja world, conquered the Warring States period, and established an unparalleled reputation.

　Sakumo Hatake wasn't that shocked, after all, they had fought together on the battlefield of the ninja world.

　Every time I see this giant Buddha, it's so awe-inspiring! The power of this bloodline is truly immense, far exceeding the potential limits of a ninja! On the streets of Konoha, the three legendary Sannin stared at the direction of the golden light, their expressions varied.

　"Heh, it's appeared again."

　Orochimaru laughed, his eyes burning with anticipation for this mysterious power.

　"It was that kid Ye Chen who made a move! He's really impressive!"

　Jiraiya sighed.

　"Keep going, Ye Chen! I believe you'll be alright!"

　Tsunade prayed silently, unaware that her heart was completely focused on this boy, unable to contain herself.

　Konoha Hokage Building

　When the Nine-Tails appeared, Danzo prepared to retreat. He knew that if the Nine-Tails attacked, Konoha would be destroyed, and he didn't want to stay. He left the Nine-Tails to Sarutobi and his gang, who were known for their headaches.

　Ideally, Sarutobi would use the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Tail, giving him a chance to become Hokage! His plan was brilliant; even if Sarutobi went, with him there, Konoha would be safe.

　But at that very moment, golden light of Buddhahood illuminated the darkness and entered Danzo's eyes. Danzo would never forget this moment in his entire life.

　"That is!"

　Danzo was filled with doubt and surprise, because the golden light was too dazzling; he couldn't see the true nature of the Buddha within.

　Ye Chen's methods are primarily used on the battlefield; the Buddha Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit have been rarely used in Konoha.

　(1/2)

　Clearing in the forest, sealed zone

　Kushina gazed at the person bathed in golden light with adoration. At this moment, Ye Chen was the brightest star in her heart, truly dazzling and unparalleled.

　"The Great Buddha!"

　Lying on the ground, Mito Uzumaki's murky eyes revealed a look of reminiscence. Hashirama had been just like that back then, full of youthful vigor—such a similar figure indeed.

　She, Hashirama! Kushina, Yoru! This must be fate! "Great Buddha!"

　The Nine-Tails looked as if it had seen a ghost, its two enormous beastly eyes filled with disbelief. It never imagined that in this world, besides Hashirama Senju and the Uchiha clan, there were other people who could pilot Gundams.

　Most importantly, there's the Great Buddha! I still vividly remember being beaten by the Buddha on top and being lifted up like a chick by the wooden puppet technique.

　Therefore, even today, the Nine-Tailed Fox has an instinctive fear of the Buddha.

　Ye Chen's Buddha is level 5.

　Based on the levels of the Flame-Flame Fruit, level 1 corresponds to the Devil Fruit's elemental awakening level.

　However, Ye Chen's five major abilities did not awaken; he only gained an extremely invincible golden body.

　Skill, grants immunity to all damage for half a minute.

　Furthermore, its height surpasses 100 meters, becoming even more enormous! Theoretically, with each upgrade, the Buddha's size will become even larger.

　At this moment, the size of the golden Buddha was not much different from that of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and might even be slightly larger.

　"Who are you?!"

　The nine-tailed fox stared at Ye Chen suspiciously, its entire body radiating a restless aura that it could hardly contain.

　"It's not important, just accept the seal!"

　Ye Chen controlled the golden Buddha statue, raising its massive palm and pressing it down towards the Nine-Tailed Fox! "Shockwave!"

　With a single palm strike, the air exploded! A powerful gust of wind shot out, like a tornado, sweeping away everything in its path. Trees in the forest were uprooted, rivers surged with raging waves, and the earth was as if it had been plowed, its bark ripped off.

　This simple palm strike already possessed power comparable to ordinary forbidden techniques! This is the power of a Devil Fruit; it cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

　Every movement contained the power of heaven and earth! Boom! The shockwave slammed into the Nine-Tails, sending it flying. Distant mountains were shattered, and the earth shook violently.
