Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 164 Four-Tail Transformation

Naruto then followed Gamabunta's instructions, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his abdomen.

Before he was about to break the Bagua seal within Naruto, Gamabunta warned, "Kid, I'm going to start breaking the seal inside you now, okay?" Naruto felt a little nervous. He swallowed hard, then nodded, indicating to Gamabunta that he was ready.

Then Gamabunta stepped forward and extended his claw, gently pressing it on Naruto's belly. A complex sealing rune immediately appeared. Gamabunta then began to twist his claw in the direction of the sealing rune, as if he were unlocking a mechanism.

Jiraiya stared at the seal that appeared on Naruto's abdomen, sealing the Nine-Tails' chakra. The Nine-Tails was an aggregate of the evil energy accumulated by humanity in the past, and it could bring catastrophic destruction wherever it appeared.

Jiraiya knew the danger of attempting to break the Nine-Tails' seal, so he had thought it over for a long time before making this extremely reckless decision.

Secondly, should Naruto lose control, Jiraiya has prepared the Four Symbols Seal talisman so that he can take action to reseal the Nine-Tails' chakra back into Naruto's body and reinforce the Eight Trigrams Seal on his body to ensure that the situation does not get out of control.

After completing the unsealing action, Gamakichi stepped back and carefully observed Naruto's reaction.

At this moment, Boruto noticed that after one of the Four Symbols Seals on Naruto's body was released, a strong aura of hatred surged out from Naruto's body and was transmitted to him.

Then, the Nine-Tails' chakra began to slowly emerge from Naruto's body, sweeping across the sky above and gradually forming a red tailed beast cloak around him.

In just a moment, two tails formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra appeared behind Naruto, and his aura increased significantly, creating quite a stir.

At this moment, Naruto was still relatively conscious, but the pupils in his eyes had transformed into the red vertical pupils of the Nine-Tails. He felt that the chakra in his body was more abundant than ever before, and his whole body was full of power, but he had no suitable place to release it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Naruto struggled to control the exceptionally powerful Nine-Tails chakra within him, preventing its power from eroding his will.

Jiraiya said to Naruto, "That's right, keep it like this, control your chakra, and make sure you don't let the Nine-Tails' power devour your consciousness."

“I know…” Naruto replied to Jiraiya, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a tremor in his head and began to feel dizzy.

Naruto's emotions also began to rise, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "But why... do I feel this restless feeling inside me...?"

Boruto felt a pang of sadness upon seeing Naruto in such pain.

He couldn't help but recall when he was possessed by Momoshiki, he didn't experience such intense pain as his father, he just felt that his body was unable to move.

In Naruto's mind, a voice kept repeating: "Go... go and take care of these two people in front of you, and then destroy the entire ninja world in one fell swoop..." Naruto shook his head, trying to get rid of this unsettling echo, but it was all in vain.

The Nine-Tails' voice kept tempting Naruto deep inside: "Destroy everything... Destroy everything that causes you pain! Give me your heart, and I can free you from your suffering."

When Naruto's mind faltered slightly and his attention was momentarily distracted, the Nine-Tails' chakra took the opportunity to leak further into Naruto's body, and a third tail formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra appeared on his back.

Immediately afterwards, Naruto seemed to be oppressed by a heavy force. Sharp claws grew from his hands, and his body became like that of a wild beast, hunching over before his limbs began to touch the ground.

The grass beneath Naruto's feet could not withstand the immense pressure and began to sink, cracking as Naruto let out a series of low growls. Finally, the ground shattered.

Not long after, when the number of chakra tails behind Naruto increased to four, Boruto frowned because he noticed that his father's skin was beginning to tear and peel off due to the Nine-Tails' violent chakra. This sight made him take a few steps forward.

Seeing Naruto's pained expression, Jiraiya still reached out and grabbed Boruto's arm, gently shaking his head to signal him not to act rashly for the time being.

Seeing the pain Naruto was enduring, not only Boruto but Jiraiya himself felt immense sorrow. However, he understood that these were trials Naruto had to endure on his path to growth.

As Naruto transformed into the Four-Tails, his skin peeled off, and blood began to seep out of his body and flow down.

However, the blood evaporated instantly upon contact with the scorching Nine-Tails chakra, producing a sizzling, ear-piercing sound.

Naruto's face now revealed a fierce light. He could no longer suppress the hatred of the Nine-Tails, and his consciousness gradually sank into the endless abyss of darkness, controlled by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Naruto, the Four-Tails, let out a deafening roar towards the sky, unleashing a powerful aura that swept across the surroundings, destroying everything in its path.

After the violent energy subsided, Boruto discovered a huge crater with a diameter of several hundred meters, centered on Naruto.

Boruto, dodging the energy fluctuation, was already standing on a large tree in the distance. Looking at the scene, he couldn't help but gasp: "Such a huge energy fluctuation just from the release of chakra." The next second, Boruto's figure disappeared from the spot.

The figure of Naruto in his four-tailed form appeared. The spot where Boruto had just stood had been cut in half by Naruto's sharp claws. Even the ground was left with deep claw marks from this attack, demonstrating the immense power he possessed.

"Water Release: Waves!" As Boruto's voice rang out, his figure suddenly appeared beside Four-Tails Naruto.

Boruto quickly gathered his chakra and unleashed a surging wave that swept forward, sending the Four-Tails Naruto and several surrounding trees flying dozens of meters away.

At that moment, Jiraiya and Tora noticed the commotion of the battle between Boruto and the Four-Tails Naruto, and the two figures, one human and one frog, quickly moved towards the scene.
