Chapter 153: The Key to the Seal
"This is the Falls of Truth," Motoi explained. "Legend says that a secret is hidden here that allows one to see themselves clearly."
"Is that so?" Naruto became even more curious. "Then let's go in and take a look right now!"
With that, he, Killer B, and Motoi walked into the waterfall together.
Inside the waterfall, they encountered various dangers and illusions. However, relying on their firm conviction and perseverance, they finally found a secret exit.
There, they discovered a shocking truth: the reason the octopus was sleeping was that it was being controlled by an evil power.
This secret exit led to a massive cave, where many creatures, like the octopus, were gathered under the control of the evil power.
"These creatures are being controlled because of that evil power," Naruto said. "We need to find the source of this evil power and then destroy it."
"That's right," Killer B added. "Only then can we save these controlled creatures."
So, the three decided to continue deeper into the cave to find the source of the evil power.
In the cave, they encountered many dangers and difficulties. But with their firm conviction and perseverance, they finally found the source of the evil power.
It was a black light that was controlling the octopus and the other creatures.
"This is the source of the evil power!" Naruto said. "We need to destroy it!"
Saying this, he, Killer B, and Motoi rushed toward the black light. After a fierce battle, they finally destroyed the evil power.
The octopus and the other controlled creatures regained their freedom.
"Great!" Naruto cheered. "Our efforts weren't in vain!"
However, just then, the Eight-Tails' voice suddenly rang out: "But even now, you still cannot undergo training to control the Tailed Beast."
"What?" Naruto was stunned. "Why?"
"Because you don't understand me yet," the Eight-Tails said. "Only those who truly understand me can undergo training to control a Tailed Beast."
"Understand you?" Naruto was a bit confused. "How are we supposed to understand you?"
"Follow me," the Eight-Tails said, turning to walk deeper into the cave.
Naruto, Killer B, and Motoi followed the Eight-Tails into a massive cavern. Within the cavern, the Eight-Tails' figure gradually became clear.
"This is my memory space," the Eight-Tails said. "Here, you can see my past and understand everything about me."
"The past?" Naruto grew even more curious. "What was your past like?"
"Take a look," the Eight-Tails said. With a wave of its hand, the scene in the cavern began to change.
Naruto, Killer B, and Motoi saw the Eight-Tails' past, witnessing the various hardships and pains it had experienced.
"I see..." Watching the Eight-Tails' past, Naruto gradually began to understand its thoughts and feelings.
"Now, do you understand me?" the Eight-Tails asked.
"Yes," Naruto nodded. "We understand."
"Very well," the Eight-Tails said. "Now, you can proceed with the training to control the Tailed Beast."
Hearing these words, both Naruto and Killer B showed joyful expressions.
Motoi understood Naruto's feelings and began to recount the life stories of himself and Killer B.
"That goes back a long time," Motoi began slowly. "At that time, Killer B and I were still children. The Eight-Tails, like the other Tailed Beasts, refused to submit to human control. This caused many casualties. My father... sacrificed his life during that time."
"What..." Naruto was stunned to hear this.
"My father and many others sacrificed their lives because of the Eight-Tails' attacks," Motoi continued. "However, Killer B insisted that the Eight-Tails could live in peace with us. He believed that as long as we could understand the Eight-Tails, we would surely find a way to coexist peacefully."
"So, Killer B began working hard to understand the Eight-Tails," Motoi said. "He learned the Eight-Tails' language, understood its habits, and even tried to communicate with it. Although at first the Eight-Tails was unwilling to pay him any mind, Killer B did not give up. He kept trying, and finally, he succeeded."
"Killer B successfully communicated with the Eight-Tails and established a deep friendship," Motoi said. "He showed me that humans and Tailed Beasts are not incapable of coexisting."
"I see..." Naruto looked at Killer B, his heart filled with admiration.
"Now, you can be like Killer B," the Eight-Tails said. "As long as you are willing to work hard, you will surely be able to control me and establish a deep friendship with me."
"I will work hard!" Naruto said firmly.
And so, Killer B naturally became Naruto's master. Naruto, along with Killer B and Yamato, went to the ruins located inside the Falls of Truth. Within the domain of a system said to allow the entire space to communicate with Tailed Beasts, Naruto confronted the Nine-Tails sealed within his body.
"Naruto, are you ready?" Killer B asked.
"Yeah!" Naruto nodded and took a deep breath.
Naruto activated the Key to the Seal entrusted to him by Jiraiya. To be able to control the Nine-Tails' power, he had to fight with all his might.
The battle between Naruto and the liberated Nine-Tails began!
Naruto's consciousness entered his mental world. Facing the massive Nine-Tails before him, he charged forward without fear.
He knew that only by defeating the Nine-Tails could he truly control its power.
The battle between Naruto and the Nine-Tails was exceptionally fierce. Relying on his firm conviction and perseverance, he continuously launched attacks against the Nine-Tails.
However, the Nine-Tails' power was incredibly vast. It easily blocked Naruto's attacks and launched a fierce counterattack.
Under the Nine-Tails' onslaught, Naruto gradually felt himself weakening.
Meanwhile, in the physical world, Killer B and Yamato, who were protecting Naruto, were also extremely anxious.
"Naruto... is he okay?" Yamato looked at Naruto's constantly trembling body, his heart full of worry.
"He'll definitely be fine." Although Killer B was also worried, he had complete faith in Naruto. "He will surely defeat the Nine-Tails."
However, things did not go as smoothly as Killer B imagined.
Influenced by the Nine-Tails' internal hatred, the dark side that had been suppressed once again awakened in Naruto's heart.
Naruto began to feel despair and powerlessness, and his attacks became increasingly weak.
Seeing this, the Nine-Tails launched an even more violent attack.
Under the Nine-Tails' fierce assault, Naruto gradually began to lose.
He resisted with all his life, but the feelings of hatred and despair slowly began to consume him.
Just as Naruto was about to be completely consumed by the Nine-Tails, an unexpected figure appeared.
It was Naruto's father—Minato Namikaze!
"Naruto!" Minato looked at his son before him, his heart filled with worry and urgency. "You must defeat the Nine-Tails! You cannot let yourself be consumed by its hatred!"
