His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
A dazzling burst of lightning flashed from his hand, instantly releasing a powerful wave of chakra.
"Raikiri!!"
With a deep shout, Kakashi Hatake unleashed his signature ninjutsu—Lightning Blade.
The terrifying Lightning Release ninjutsu, like a sharp bolt of lightning, roared through the air.
Kakashi Hatake's figure flashed past like a ghost, transforming into a blue lightning bolt that hurtled straight toward Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief.
His throat felt like it was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
He never imagined that Kakashi Hatake would attack him. His gaze met Kakashi's, but he only saw a strange and cold look in his eyes.
"I……"
Naruto Uzumaki wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.
His heart felt as if it had been torn into countless pieces, causing him excruciating pain.
Naruto finally understood that he had not gained Kakashi's trust. At this moment, he felt utterly desperate and alone.
However, Naruto Uzumaki did not back down in the face of Kakashi Hatake's attack.
He clenched his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his heart, and tried his best to remain calm.
Naruto Uzumaki knew that now was not the time to cry, but to figure out how to deal with the crisis at hand.
The instinct for survival made Naruto Uzumaki react quickly, dodging to the side.
However, even though he had activated the Three-Tails form, he still couldn't completely avoid this fatal attack.
His arm was pierced by the lightning bolt, blood gushed out, and he was in excruciating pain.
"Kakashi, teacher, why?"
Naruto's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. He clutched his injured arm tightly, his expression contorted in pain.
He didn't understand why Kakashi would suddenly attack him, nor did he understand the reason behind it.
At that moment, a trace of resentment welled up in Naruto's heart.
If he hadn't dodged in time, the blow would have pierced his chest, causing irreversible consequences. He would likely have been either dead or severely injured.
He simply couldn't understand why Kakashi would be so ruthless towards him.
This is clearly Kurama's fault, so why blame him?
"What do you mean, 'why'? Nine-Tails, are you still pretending?"
Kakashi gripped his wrist, which was crackling with electricity, with one hand, staring coldly at Naruto Uzumaki, his three-tomoe gems flashing with a bloody light.
His voice was deep and stern, as if filled with boundless rage. "You've killed so many of Konoha's ninjas, do you really think you can escape so easily today?"
Faced with Kakashi's questioning, Naruto Uzumaki felt a sense of bewilderment.
He looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground, his mind in turmoil.
Naruto opened his mouth, wanting to explain the truth, but found his words to be so pale and powerless at this moment.
He didn't know how to convince Kakashi that he wasn't the murderer.
Left with no other choice, Naruto Uzumaki had to leave this place temporarily.
Naruto Uzumaki knew that staying here would only cause more misunderstandings and conflicts.
Although he was filled with grievances and resentment, the most important thing right now was to protect himself first and then find an opportunity to prove his innocence.
During this time, many Konoha ninjas tried to stop him, but Naruto easily defeated them all.
Finally, Kakashi even forced Naruto into his Six-Tails form before he could truly escape the pursuit.
It should be said that Kakashi Hatake escaped Naruto's counterattack.
Chapter 103 Naruto's Killing Intent as He Pursues Sasuke!
"what is this?"
Deep in the mountains of the Land of Rain, Naruto Uzumaki wore a pained expression, as if he were undergoing some kind of torment.
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki planned to enter his consciousness and communicate with Kurama (the Nine-Tails).
However, each attempt ended in failure, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated and disappointed.
You seem troubled.
Just as Naruto was at a loss, a familiar voice quietly echoed in his ears.
The sound seemed to come from somewhere ethereal, yet it was clearly audible.
Upon hearing the voice, Naruto Uzumaki looked up in surprise, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Kouki... Brother Kouki, what are you doing here?"
Gu Mu smiled slightly and said calmly, "Me? I've always been here."
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki finally came to his senses and looked around before realizing that he had returned to the waterfall where he had met the ancient tree for the second time.
Everything here was so familiar, and Gu Mu was standing not far away, quietly watching him.
"Brother Gu Mu, please help me! You are the only one who is not afraid of me now."
As if grasping at a lifeline, Naruto rushed to Koki and excitedly said, "The other Konoha ninjas either want to kill me or seal me away when they see me."
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes were filled with grievance.
It was clearly Kurama's doing that, so why is it all being blamed on me?
He felt he had been wronged terribly, and his heart was filled with resentment and helplessness.
"help you?"
"How can I help you? I'll help you extract the Nine-Tails from your body, but you'll die if I do that."
Feeling the cold gaze of the old tree, Naruto Uzumaki immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"Um, is there...isn't there any other way?"
"Of course I will help you cultivate. When your strength grows to the point where you can go toe-to-toe with the Nine-Tails, then you will have complete control over your body."
Upon hearing Gu Mu's words, Naruto's eyes lit up instantly.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Gu Mu. But why are you helping me like this?"
Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat puzzled and confused.
The most valuable thing he possesses is none other than the most powerful tailed beast, Kurama.
Unfortunately, the ancient tree didn't seem to care about this thing.
"No particular reason. If I really had to give a reason, it would probably be because I find you pleasing to the eye."
"Then... thank you very much, Brother Gu Mu."
Naruto's eyes were filled with gratitude.
He wasn't afraid of what the ancient tree could do to him, since he had been saved by the ancient tree anyway.
Otherwise, Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't be able to control his body right now.
......
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Naruto Uzumaki was receiving training from Koki, but the smiles on his face had noticeably decreased, replaced by a sharp and resolute expression.
It's hard to imagine that Koki's first test for Naruto was to have him personally kill a wanted criminal from the Land of Rain.
"Naruto, your talent is indeed a bit lacking. You still haven't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique after all this time."
Under that same waterfall, Naruto Uzumaki, a katana hanging from his waist, persevered in training his body and will despite the powerful impact of the waterfall.
"I'm sorry, Brother Gu Mu, I've disappointed you again."
Naruto Uzumaki looked a little dejected. In just six months, he seemed to have matured a lot.
"It's alright, but there's something I need to tell you. Sasuke has defected, did you know?"
Gu Mu said calmly.
These words struck Naruto Uzumaki like a thunderbolt, instantly captivating him and causing his eyes to widen in shock.
Although he had been away from Konoha for half a year, he could not let go of his attachment to the village.
For the past six months, he has been training day and night, all in order to master the power of the Nine-Tails as soon as possible so that he can return to Konoha one day.
"Sasuke has defected!!"
"why?"
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes were filled with intense incomprehension.
Sasuke Uchiha is a bond in Naruto Uzumaki's heart, and he absolutely cannot allow his bond to go astray.
"I don't know why, but I know he's here. Do you want to go?"
