Chapter 96 Entering the Dancheng Realm

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and carefully felt the powerful force brought by the golden chakra in his body. "Nine-Tails, it seems that your choice is correct." Naruto said softly, with a look of relief in his eyes.

The Nine-Tails was silent, without saying a word, but there was a complex feeling in its eyes. It knew very well that from this moment on, its fate and Naruto's would be more closely intertwined.

Jiraiya walked up and stared at Naruto in a daze. During this short time together, he felt that he could not see through Naruto. The powerful eye technique and terrifying power far surpassed him. He could not imagine that in the entire ninja world, no one would be Naruto's opponent. What on earth had this boy experienced in the past ten years?

Naruto looked at Jiraiya who was about to approach him, with a little embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head gently and said apologetically: "Uncle Jiraiya, I'm really sorry. I had no choice just now. When I was four years old, I had already met my father and got his approval. I have waited too long for this moment. If I tell you directly, I'm afraid you won't agree, so..."

Jiraiya stared at Naruto, the surprise in his eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by deep understanding and relief. He shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Naruto, you don't have to apologize. I understand your feelings. Everything you have experienced is much more difficult than we can imagine."

Toad Yin watched them quietly, as if he was also deeply moved by this scene. There seemed to be a different kind of light flashing in his round eyes.

Naruto lowered his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Uncle Jiraiya, I know that what I am doing may be a little risky, but I really don't want to wait any longer. I want to become stronger, to protect the people I cherish with all my strength, and to work hard to realize my dream."

Jiraiya walked up and patted Naruto's shoulder gently. "Naruto, you have done an excellent job. I am very proud of your growth, and I firmly believe that you will be able to achieve your goal. However, you must remember that no matter when or where, you should not be blinded by power, and always maintain a kind and firm heart."

Naruto raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. "I will, Uncle Jiraiya. I will use my power to protect this world and my friends."

At this time, Jiraiya asked curiously: "Naruto, how strong are you?"

This question made Naruto at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "Uncle Jiraiya, do you believe that there are immortals in this world?"

Jiraiya was slightly startled, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Sage? Are you talking about an existence like the Great Toad Sage in Myōboku Mountain? Have you reached that realm?"

Naruto was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Uncle Jiraiya, my strength is hard to measure with the specific realms currently available in the ninja world. I have indeed experienced many things that ordinary people cannot imagine, and I have also gained some special powers. As for the realm of sage, I am not sure if I have fully reached it, but I know that even a sage would not be my opponent if I burst out with all my strength."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto, his heart full of emotion. He knew very well that this once immature boy had grown into a real strong man, a man who was capable of shouldering the fate of the entire world.

"Naruto, no matter how strong you are, remember that you are not fighting alone. You have friends and people like us who always support you." Jiraiya said solemnly.

Naruto nodded, his eyes full of warmth. At this moment, Naruto seemed to have thought of something, and then he lightly tapped Jiraiya's forehead. Then, he took out an earth attribute devil fruit and a bottle of tree god essence and handed them to Jiraiya. "Uncle Jiraiya, this fruit can enhance the power of your earth escape technique, and it also has some special effects. And this bottle of stuff is to eliminate the side effects of this fruit. As for what just entered your mind, it is a physical technique I developed myself."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto's unique method and what he took out, and felt that Naruto was becoming more and more mysterious. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Naruto's rapid growth and the mysterious power he showed made people full of expectations for his future. And he was also very proud to be able to witness the growth of this young man.

At night, after a delicious barbecue prepared by Naruto, Jiraiya left with great satisfaction. While he was amazed at Naruto's immense strength, he also praised Naruto's cooking skills. Although he had not spent much time with Naruto, he was still extremely proud of this child.

During this extremely short day, Naruto deeply felt Jiraiya's sincere love and heartfelt pride.

After Jiraiya left, Naruto sat alone in the silent forest. He fully activated his perception ability, and after confirming that there was no one in the forest, he entered the Nine-Tails state again. The golden Nine-Tails chakra coat instantly covered his body, exuding a unique aura that was both warm and powerful.

Naruto sat cross-legged and then started to practice the "Phantom Spirit Technique". The originally extremely sticky chakra began to slowly gather in the dantian. At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's body gradually woke up from its deep sleep. It only felt that its chakra was rapidly draining away at an alarming speed. When it noticed this abnormal situation, it was too late to stop it.

The Nine-Tails watched all this in horror, and the chakra in its body was continuously absorbed by Naruto, and the speed was getting faster and faster, like a surging river. Naruto was absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra with all his strength, and at this moment, he finally felt the edge of a breakthrough. During the day when he first entered the Nine-Tails transformation, he had already sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, but Jiraiya was still by his side at the time, so he could only suppress the urge to break through.

At this moment, he could finally have nothing to worry about. The Nine-Tails' chakra rushed to Naruto's dantian like a torrent of water. It was unknown how long it had passed, but just when the Nine-Tails was about to be drained, a bright golden inner elixir finally took shape in an instant. This also meant that Naruto had finally successfully stepped into the elixir-making state.

The drained Nine-Tails was now lying in Naruto's inner world, barely breathing. It had never expected that it would be treated like this on the first day it was released. Just when it wanted to scold Naruto, it suddenly felt a strong pressure from Naruto that was several times greater than before. With a "gulp", the Nine-Tails swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. The words it wanted to scold Naruto were not uttered after all.
