Naruto: After Seclusion Becoming Naruto Grandfather

Chapter 40: Chapter 40



What incredible potential...

When Jiraiya looked at Naruto, he couldn't help but see flashes of the past—of a baby cradled in Minato's arms. The son of the Fourth Hokage, once Konoha's greatest hope, now stood as a traitor to the village. If word of this spread, Konoha's reputation would be irreparably tarnished.

"Naruto," Jiraiya said firmly, his gaze intense. "Not only am I bringing Tsunade back to the village today, but I'm taking you with me. You can't be left to grow unchecked outside Konoha."

Naruto smirked, the expression sharp and defiant. "You can try," he spat.

Blood-red chakra enveloped his entire body, radiating a raw, feral energy. Seven fiery tails flickered behind him, tearing through the very fabric of the air. The demonic aura was suffocating, as if a beast from hell had been unleashed. Naruto had pushed his control to the limits, accessing the power of the Seven-Tails state.

Jiraiya felt the immense pressure. He's already this powerful in such a short time, Jiraiya thought grimly. He clenched his fists. The stronger Naruto becomes, the more I can't allow him to stay away from Konoha.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto vanished, reappearing behind Jiraiya with claws extended, aiming for his former sensei's back.

Whew!

Jiraiya reacted swiftly, using a substitution jutsu to escape. A log shattered beneath Naruto's claws, but Jiraiya had already widened the distance.

Hands moving in a blur, Jiraiya completed his seals. "Toad Oil Bullet!" he shouted, spitting a viscous substance at Naruto. The sticky oil coated Naruto's body, clinging to him stubbornly.

Naruto struggled, trying to strip the grease off, but it was futile.

"This is toad oil," Jiraiya said with a grin. "You can't just remove it with brute strength."

Before Naruto could retaliate, Jiraiya unleashed another jutsu. "Fire Style: Great Fireball!" A massive flame erupted, igniting the toad oil and enveloping Naruto in flames.

The fire roared, but the protective aura of the Nine-Tails' chakra shielded Naruto from harm. Instead of causing pain, it only fueled his rage. Naruto's growl deepened, and the Rasengan began to form in his hand.

With a snarl, Naruto charged at Jiraiya, slamming the Rasengan into him.

"Needle Jizo!" Jiraiya's hair expanded rapidly, wrapping around his body and hardening like steel. The Rasengan ground against the barrier, producing an ear-splitting screech. Even with his defense, Jiraiya was forced back more than ten meters, his feet carving deep trenches into the earth.

His power is overwhelming, Jiraiya thought, retreating to absorb the impact fully.

Jiraiya countered with another Fireball Jutsu, but Naruto dodged with ease. "Is that all you've got?" Naruto sneered, his voice laced with mockery.

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, leaping into the air. His white hair extended once more, forming his Chaotic Lion Mane Technique. The tendrils expanded and coiled around Naruto, engulfing him completely.

"Let's see how you handle this," Jiraiya muttered. The hair constricted, its sharp edges slicing into Naruto's chakra cloak.

Inside the mane, Naruto remained calm. His hands flew into a seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Dozens of clones appeared within the confined space, crowding the interior until the Lion Mane began to swell unnaturally. Jiraiya realized too late what was happening.

Bang!

The Lion Mane exploded, the force of the blast tearing the ground apart. Trees shattered, and debris filled the air. As the dust settled, eight tails rose into the sky, swaying like the limbs of a demon.

"You've made me angry," Naruto growled, his eyes glowing a feral red. His chakra surged, and his body began to take on the form of the Nine-Tails. The transformation was incomplete, but the sight of his reddish-brown fur and hulking frame struck fear into all who watched.

In his mouth, a ball of concentrated chakra began to form—a Tailed Beast Bomb.

The destructive orb condensed rapidly, its terrifying power ready to obliterate everything in its path. Naruto fired it toward Jiraiya with a roar.

The bomb tore through the landscape, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake. Grass was scorched to ash, and the ground erupted into a massive crater where Jiraiya had been standing. The sheer force of the explosion sent shockwaves through the forest, halting the battles between Guy and Kakashi.

Tsunade, shaken from her inner turmoil, stared in disbelief at the destruction before her. The forest had been turned into a wasteland.

Naruto prepared another Tailed Beast Bomb, the massive chakra orb forming in his mouth. But before he could release it, a figure descended from the sky.

Smash!

Tsunade's fist collided with Naruto's head, sending him crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.

"Wake up, boy!" Tsunade yelled, standing over him. "Don't let the power of the Nine-Tails control you. You're better than this!"
