Chapter 240: Akatsuki's military strength! The war plan begins! !

Naruto was very happy to see his mother.

"Now that I've seen my mother, I have a lot of things to ask!"

Kushina nodded and looked at the Nine-Tails outside. Kanon waved at her, indicating that there was no problem, and Kushina nodded with relief.

"Kane-chan is such a considerate child."

"Right, right! She is my best friend!" Naruto said excitedly, even his face turning a little red.

"Just friends?!" Kushina teased Naruto.

"Kane is so nice, we can't be just friends. After all, I am very satisfied with little Kanane!" Kushina patted Naruto's forehead.

"Oh! Mom, don't do this." Naruto felt a little shy.

"The Nine-Tails is very obedient now. Let's sit down and talk." Kushina sat in the original position of Kanon and sat on the cliff with Naruto.

The mother and son began to talk about what happened in the past, and Naruto wanted to listen very quietly, because he understood that this might be the last time he saw his mother.

He wanted to bury this face deep in his heart forever, so he stared at Kushina in a daze.

......

outside world.

Kabuto looked at the masked man.

"Wait, let me go to the Nine-Tail and the Eight-Tail." Kabuto said softly.

"What are your intentions?" the masked man asked puzzledly.

"This is a good opportunity to convince you of our collaborative relationship," Kabuto said calmly.

"Then I'll also send a shadow clone to go with you." Hanako said softly. She clasped her hands together, and the white smoke dissipated. Hanako's shadow clone was wearing a blue Uchiha windbreaker, which was different from the red of the original one.

"That's fine, besides, Naruto is next to the Kyuubi."

"There is also a clone of the first Hokage named Yamato."

"He is also my experimental target."

Kabuto looked at the masked man and smiled, "If that doesn't work, I can make do with Zetsu's body."

"As long as you're willing to give me some."

"In that case, the resurrection of the Ten-Tails will be just around the corner."

The masked man nodded slightly: "It seems that you know a lot."

"Orochimaru seems to have conducted a lot of investigations secretly, but..."

However, Hanayon raised her lips slightly: "Isn't this kind of thing your goal?"

"The information provided by Brother Kisame is now very clear. The total strength of the ninja coalition is 80,000, and the formation is also clear."

"So the focus of our military strength is absolute... There is nothing to hide about this."

"If you're hiding everything, it's better not to cooperate." Hanane said indifferently.

The masked man and Zetsu both nodded slightly, and upon seeing this, Kabuto spoke openly.

"As long as I have the research materials and knowledge I have collected, I can greatly strengthen Jue."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to take me there."

White Zetsu looked at the masked man. Although Kanon was a trustworthy person, the commander here was obviously the masked man.

"A Fei, what should we do? Do you believe him?"

"As long as you can catch the Nine-Tailed Fox, I will give you a decisive blow."

As he said this, the masked man took Kanon and Kabuto to the Outer Path Golem Statue.

"Is this... the Outer Golem?" Dou raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the Outer Golem.

"Why are you still so ugly?" Hanane said with disgust.

"Don't be disgusted, come down." The masked man said and led the two of them downstairs.

After walking up dozens of stairs, I finally arrived at the bottom.

"What is this?" Dou was a little confused.

"Yes, he is alive." The masked man said, and saw the statue of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, at the bottom.

"Having said that, this is just the result of the cultivation of living cells I obtained from him during that battle."

"Is it possible to only go this far? If the cells are reorganized and then split using chakra, then new cells can be produced through the resonance of the natural energy of fairy techniques?" Kanon muttered softly.

As she was brainstorming frantically in her head, she suddenly noticed that everyone had gone quiet.

Hanane was startled and realized that everyone was looking at her.

"Why, haven't you seen a pretty girl?"

"I didn't expect that you are such a talented person." The masked man nodded slightly. Although he didn't understand what he heard, he still felt it was impressive.

"You've made a good guess. I'll try it when the time comes." Dou nodded and said.

"He seems unconscious though," Kanon muttered.

"Yes." The masked man nodded.

"What I want to show you is the bottom."

Kanon and Kabuto followed the masked man and looked towards the water.

"This is incredible. When was it done?"

“However, the risks are not small.”

"It took a lot of chakra from the tailed beasts in the Golem to make this."

“So we have to save as much as possible.”

"If the Ten-Tails' resurrection date is delayed, it means my plans must be put on hold."

"How many?" asked Kabuto.

"About one hundred thousand." The masked man said calmly.

"One hundred thousand White Zetsu?" Kanon nodded.

"However, it is impossible for all of your 100,000 White Zetsu to be very strong. They still need the leadership of the Impure World Reincarnation." Kanon offered her own suggestion.

"That's right, so I really need your help." said the masked man.

"But it's almost time for Brother Kisame to send back the second piece of information."

"I'll go check on Brother Kisame first."

......

Naruto's inner world.

Kushina looked at her child, Uzumaki Naruto, and her expression showed a little reluctance.

Because it's time to say goodbye.

Kushina covered her tears and apologized to Naruto:

"I'm sorry... I mistook you for the Nine-Tails' vessel..."

"Let you bear our burdens..."

"I can't live with you anymore, and I can't give you more love."

Listening to his mother's apology, Naruto lowered his head. After learning that Minato and Kushina died to protect him, he no longer had any resentment.

"You don't need to apologize to me."

"Indeed, I have suffered a lot as a Jinchūriki in the past."

"But I don't hate my dad and mom."

Kushina was startled and looked up at Naruto.

"Of course, to be honest, I don't really understand what maternal love and paternal love are."

"As far as I can remember, my parents have not been with me."

“It’s a rather general feeling, but now I understand it.”

"Mom and Dad were willing to sacrifice their lives for me! I also understand that before I became the vessel of the Nine-Tails, I was already filled with the love of Mom and Dad!"

"So I am very happy too!" Naruto smiled and looked at Kushina.

“I’m proud to be both my dad’s and my mom’s kid.”

Naruto walked up to Kushina and wiped the tears from her eyes himself.

"So, Mom, don't worry about me! I'm very happy!"

Hearing this, Kushina's heart was replaced by countless warmth. Her body turned into golden light and she hugged Naruto, but she was thinking with relief in her heart.

"Minato, did you hear that?"

"This child has understood our thoughts."

Kushina's body trembled, "Naruto! Thank you for letting me be your mother."

"Thank you for being a father to Minato."

"It's so wonderful that you could come to us as a child..."

"Thank you!"

Tears also flowed from the corners of Naruto's eyes. In this light curtain, Naruto's blue eyes looked up at the sky.

"Mom, from now on, I will definitely not eat instant noodles all the time, and I will eat more vegetables."

"As for bathing, it's my hobby, so don't worry, I go to hot springs often."

"Besides, I get a good night's sleep every day, but I always oversleep and have to have Kanon wake me up."

"As for friends, I've made a bunch of great friends, and my mom has met my best friend, but right now she and her brother and I don't have a very good relationship."

"As for studying, it's just like what my mother thought. I always have to ask Kanon to help me with my lessons or teach me how to cheat."

"Of course I'm not depressed!"

“Although I had some disagreements with my teachers and seniors when I was studying, now they are all people I respect.”

"The Three Forbidden Rules of Ninja, Jiraiya-sensei has already taught me."

"He is exactly like you described, mom. But it was also her who taught me how to be a true ninja. He is a great ninja."

"I'm a ninja from Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto!"

"My dream is to inherit the name of Hokage and surpass all the previous generations of Hokage."

"Also, become a more handsome man than dad, and a stronger ninja than mom!"

Suddenly, the perspective changed and Naruto returned to this inner world.

"Is it done?" The corners of Hanane's eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she had also seen what had just happened.

"Yes, Kanon, I'm very grateful to you."

Kanon wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Who made you my best friend?" Kanon pulled her twin ponytails and forced herself to cheer up.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's defeat the Nine-Tails together."

Suddenly, Naruto knelt down and blue chakra appeared. He started to snatch the chakra of the Nine-Tails.

It was also at this moment that the magatama in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes disappeared, which was a sign that the illusion was being broken.

"This, this is!" Yamato outside was also shocked when he saw Naruto's orange eye shadow on his right eye and pink eye shadow on his left eye.

"Good, keep monitoring!" Kirabi shouted.

In her inner world, Kanon's twin ponytails were swaying and she clasped her hands together.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto also used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique like Kanon.

"Kane, it's been a long time since we fought side by side!"

"Ah! Let's end it!" Kanon nodded, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, and she and Naruto leaned back to back.
