Naruto speculated that as long as he remained angry, the power of his transformation would continue to erupt, while his consciousness would become increasingly blurred.
Eventually, he would be consumed by his anger and lose himself completely, falling into a violent state.
Remembering the terrifying scene of Broly losing control, Naruto's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
If I really lose control in this world, and there's no Kakarot or Vegeta around to wake me up, I'll probably keep destroying everything until I wipe out the entire shinobi world.
Damn it! Why did I have to get such an uncontrollable cheat?!
Although the Legendary Super Saiyan was incredibly powerful, the side effect was also terrifying.
It seemed that, in the future, the focus of his training shouldn't simply be on increasing his strength.
He also needed to learn how to control his emotions.
Naruto believed that only reason and self-control could lead him toward true strength. Simply relying on anger and explosive power would never be the correct path.
Then he smiled bitterly to himself.
But can I really develop the same emotional control as the Naruto Uzumaki from the original story?
Just as he was thinking about this, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
It was his father, Namikaze Minato.
At this moment, Minato looked somewhat disheveled.
The pristine white Hokage cloak he had been wearing before leaving was now stained with dirt.
He approached Naruto with a reluctant expression.
However, after gritting his teeth, he finally picked Naruto up and disappeared in an instant.
A few kilometers away from Konoha, in a forest.
Golden chains wrapped around a gigantic red fox that stood dozens of meters tall.
The beast had nine enormous tails, its claws were bared, and its terrifying presence alone was enough to make an ordinary person feel suffocated.
This was the Nine-Tailed Fox—Kurama.
At this moment, the powerful Nine-Tails was restrained by golden chains that appeared thin compared to its enormous body.
It couldn't move.
Nearby, Uzumaki Kushina was using the Adamantine Sealing Chains to restrain the Nine-Tails.
Her breathing was becoming increasingly labored.
She had already reached the point where her strength was almost completely exhausted, and death could claim her at any moment.
At this moment, Namikaze Minato appeared inside the barrier using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In his arms was the newborn Uzumaki Naruto.
That's right.
His surname had already been decided.
He was Naruto Uzumaki.
The reason Naruto had been given the Uzumaki surname wasn't simply because Minato had too many enemies and feared those enemies might target Naruto.
The reason was actually much simpler.
Kushina was an Uzumaki.
And the Uzumaki clan was an ancient and prestigious clan.
Even though the clan had fallen into decline, the Uzumaki name still carried considerable prestige.
By giving Naruto the Uzumaki surname, his identity was connected to his mother's clan rather than being associated directly with the Fourth Hokage.
After seeing Minato arrive, Kushina—her face pale and exhausted—forced a smile.
"Minato... bring Naruto over. Let me look at him one more time."
Minato immediately carried Naruto over to his wife.
The moment mother and son looked at each other, tears slipped from Kushina's eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
"Naruto..."
Her voice trembled.
"Don't be a picky eater. Eat properly and grow up healthy."
"Take a bath every day and keep yourself warm. And don't stay up late. Make sure you get enough sleep..."
"Make some friends, too. You don't need a lot. Just a few friends you can truly trust are enough..."
"And... Mom isn't very good at giving advice, but you should study hard and practice your ninjutsu."
"Still, remember that everyone has things they're good at and things they're not good at. So don't become discouraged just because there's something you're not good at."
"Respect your teachers and your seniors at the Academy..."
Kushina continued speaking, giving Naruto all the advice a mother could give her child.
The infant Naruto listened carefully to every word.
Unknowingly, tears began slipping from the corners of his eyes.
Although this was technically the first time they had met, Naruto could genuinely feel the warmth and love coming from both Minato and Kushina.
He had been suppressing his emotions this entire time.
He was afraid that if he became too emotional, he would lose control of his Legendary Super Saiyan power.
But the more Kushina spoke, the harder it became for Naruto to suppress his emotions.
At this moment, Minato had already activated the Reaper Death Seal.
The spectral hand of the Shinigami emerged behind him and passed through his abdomen.
It grabbed the Nine-Tails' chakra and sealed half of Kurama inside Minato's soul.
The Nine-Tails roared in pain.
It could clearly feel that half of its chakra had been torn away.
Kurama's heart filled with rage and anguish.
He could no longer sense the other half of himself.
It was as if half of his existence had suddenly been isolated in another world.
The feeling was incredibly uncomfortable.
It was as though something that had always been a part of him had suddenly disappeared forever.
And when Kurama looked at the culprit responsible for this "absence," his hatred intensified.
The Nine-Tails roared furiously.
Then it stretched out one of its enormous claws and stabbed toward Naruto.
Kurama knew that Minato was incredibly fast.
With his body restrained by Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains, attacking Minato directly was nearly impossible.
If that's the case... I'll attack his child instead.
Doesn't he intend to seal me inside this little brat?
Then I'll kill the brat.
Let's see how he'll seal me after that!
The moment the Nine-Tails' claw shot toward Naruto, neither Minato nor Kushina hesitated.
They immediately moved to shield Naruto with their own bodies.
SHINK!
The enormous claw pierced through both of them.
Blood flowed from their wounds and dripped down onto Naruto's face.
Naruto's eyes widened.
He stared at the two people standing protectively in front of him.
At this moment, his emotions had reached their absolute limit.
Kushina's final words were coming to an end.
She looked toward Minato, who was also impaled by the Nine-Tails' claw behind her.
"I'm sorry, Minato. I've been talking so much..."
Minato shook his head.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he still managed to force a gentle smile.
He shifted slightly so that Naruto could see his face.
"Naruto..."
He looked directly at his son.
"What your dad wants to say is the same as what your long-winded mother just said."
BOOM!
Naruto could no longer control his emotions.
Damn the Nine-Tails!
I don't want it!
Get lost!
I can't take this anymore!
Green energy suddenly erupted from Naruto's tiny body.
The terrifying pressure caused Kurama's eyes to widen.
What is this?!
How can such an enormous power exist inside this little brat?!
Minato and Kushina were equally shocked.
Then they suddenly felt a gentle force envelop their bodies.
The wounds caused by the Nine-Tails' claws stopped bleeding.
Naruto slowly floated into the air, still wrapped in his swaddling clothes.
Green energy surrounded his entire body.
His blue eyes gradually became lighter and lighter.
Finally, his pupils disappeared completely.
His eyes became pure white.
They were even whiter than the Byakugan.
It was as if he had no pupils at all.
However, a small portion of Naruto's consciousness still remained.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have instinctively divided part of his power to protect Minato and Kushina.
Naruto slowly floated in front of the Nine-Tails.
His pupil-less eyes stared directly at Kurama.
The corners of his mouth gradually curled upward into a terrifying, bloodthirsty smile.
Nearby, Minato and Kushina had previously established a barrier to contain the Nine-Tails.
But the moment Naruto lost control, the terrifying force radiating from his body shattered the barrier.
CRACK!
The barrier shattered like glass, sending fragments of chakra flying in every direction.
The Nine-Tails felt Naruto's terrifying pressure.
Its enormous body was actually forced backward.
For the first time, fear appeared in Kurama's eyes.
What the hell is going on with this kid?!
Why does he possess such a terrifying aura?!
Under Kurama's horrified gaze, Naruto slowly raised his right fist.
Then he punched toward the Nine-Tails' head.
His fist never actually touched Kurama.
The distance between them was more than ten meters.
Even with Naruto's short arm span, there was no way he could physically reach the Nine-Tails.
But that didn't matter.
A massive wave of green energy erupted from Naruto's fist.
The energy struck the Nine-Tails directly in the head.
BOOM!
The gigantic Nine-Tails was blasted apart as easily as a piece of tofu being smashed by a hammer.
Only half of its enormous body remained.
Minato and Kushina stared in shock.
They couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.
Their newborn son had shattered the Nine-Tails with a single punch!
What the hell is going on with Naruto?
Why does he possess this much power?!
For a brief moment, if Minato hadn't known Kushina so well, he might have wondered whether Naruto was really his biological son.
Even Kushina herself was beginning to question reality.
Is this really my child?
The Nine-Tails' body had been blown apart.
However, Kurama wasn't actually dead.
As a Tailed Beast, his body was composed entirely of chakra.
Even such devastating damage couldn't kill him permanently.
The fragments of his body began regenerating.
Chakra continuously gathered around the broken sections, rebuilding Kurama's enormous body.
Within moments, the Nine-Tails had completely regenerated.
He stood intact once again.
Kurama stared solemnly at the floating child in front of him.
He already understood that this little brat was not someone he could deal with easily.
But Kurama wasn't willing to simply surrender.
If I can't defeat him with my claws... then I'll crush him with everything I have!
The Nine-Tails opened his enormous mouth.
Countless amounts of chakra began gathering inside.
Black and white chakra continuously condensed together in the proper ratio.
Minato's expression changed when he saw this.
"That's the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
The Tailed Beast Bomb was the Nine-Tails' most powerful attack.
In fact, Minato was extremely familiar with the technique.
His Rasengan had been developed by studying the form and principles of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Minato wanted to use the Flying Thunder God to help Naruto.
But he no longer had enough strength.
He could only shout:
"Naruto! Dodge!"
However, Naruto didn't dodge.
Facing the incoming Tailed Beast Bomb, he simply opened his mouth.
Green energy began gathering inside it.
It looked as though he intended to fight Kurama's attack head-on.
The energy on both sides continued to condense.
Finally, both attacks reached their peak.
The Nine-Tails released the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Naruto simultaneously fired a massive green energy blast.
BOOOOOOM!
The two attacks collided.
A gigantic explosion erupted.
The shockwave swept through the surrounding forest.
Trees were uprooted and mountains were shattered as the destructive force spread through the landscape.
However, Minato and Kushina were protected by the strange green energy surrounding their bodies.
Although both of them were already close to death, they remained completely unharmed by the explosion.
They stared at the unbelievable scene before them.
Naruto's green energy blast smashed through the Tailed Beast Bomb as easily as an iron hammer smashing through tofu.
The blast continued forward.
BOOM!
It struck the Nine-Tails head-on.
Kurama's enormous body was shattered once again.
But that wasn't the end.
The shockwave continued forward with undiminished power.
Trees, mountains, and everything else in its path were obliterated.
A massive ravine stretched across the landscape, seemingly without an end.
The destructive force had completely transformed the surrounding terrain.
This time, the Nine-Tails had truly lost his life.
Kushina, as the former Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, could clearly sense Kurama's chakra.
She confirmed that the Nine-Tails was completely gone.
There wasn't even a fragment of his chakra remaining.
Minato and Kushina slowly dragged their exhausted bodies toward Naruto.
They watched as Naruto's transformed body gradually descended.
The green energy surrounding him slowly faded.
Naruto fell back into his swaddling clothes and slipped into a deep sleep.
For a moment, Minato and Kushina simply stared at their son.
Their emotions were impossible to describe.
In the end, however, both of them smiled in relief.
It seemed that Naruto already possessed enough power to protect himself.
Perhaps they could finally leave this world without worrying about him.
As Naruto fell into a deep sleep, the green energy protecting Minato and Kushina gradually disappeared.
The two of them struggled to crawl over to Naruto.
They held hands as they embraced their newborn son one last time.
Then, with peaceful smiles on their faces, they closed their eyes forever.
