Chapter 64 - Seal Shattered – The Fourth Hokage Emerges!

Gerotora of Mount Myōboku could break the seal on Naruto Uzumaki from the outside. 

However, once completely unsealed, it was very difficult to reseal it. 

If Naruto Uzumaki was unable to control the power of the Nine-Tails, it would inevitably lead to disaster. 

"I'm sure," Naruto Uzumaki nodded. "I'm confident I can control the Nine-Tails' power." 

Despite Naruto's confident demeanor, Jiraiya still dared not easily break his seal. 

"How about this!" 

"Wait a moment; I'll go inform the old man and the others to make some preparations in advance." 

After a moment's hesitation, Jiraiya asked Naruto to wait patiently a little longer. 

He then went to the Hokage's office. 

... 

The Hokage's office. 

"Hiruzen, did you foresee this situation all along, which is why you gave me the Hokage position?" Danzō Shimura glared angrily at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said. 

"No, it's that my health is deteriorating and I'm no longer able to support the work of Hokage." 

"Furthermore, the Nine-Tails' chakra within me is too powerful to be contained, so I am no longer suited to show my face in public. Therefore, I am passing the Hokage position to you." 

"As for the incident in the Land of Waves, it was just a coincidence. Don't overthink it." 

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and explained to Danzō. 

Just as the two were talking, Jiraiya suddenly pushed the door open and entered. 

"Old man, I've finally found you. It's about Naruto..." 

Jiraiya had intended to talk about Naruto, but when he saw the red chakra on Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, his expression suddenly changed. 

What was going on? 

Could it be that the old man had also become a jinchūriki? 

"It's Jiraiya!" Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled when he saw Jiraiya. "Have you seen Naruto? Did you help him break the seal on his body?" 

"That's why I've come. Naruto is unwilling to sign a summoning contract with Mount Myōboku." 

"But if we remove the seal on him in the village, I'm afraid he won't be able to control that power, which could cause damage to the village." 

Jiraiya suppressed his doubts and voiced his concerns. 

"You can rest assured about that; Naruto has the ability to control the Nine-Tails' power." 

"The Nine-Tails' chakra cloak I wear is the best proof." 

"However, this is indeed no small matter. Let's take him to the basement of my roots and break the seal to avoid causing panic among the masses." 

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he slowly rose, preparing to leave with Jiraiya. 

Danzō Shimura, who had been ignored by them all along, finally couldn't help but stand up at this moment. 

"I'd like to say to you two, aren't you being a little too disrespectful to this old man?" 

"You just decided such a big thing on your own?" 

"Hiruzen, don't forget, I am Hokage!" 

Danzō Shimura was already furious, and the disregard shown by the master and disciple made him so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode. 

"Enough, Danzō!" Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped in his tracks. "I am the true root of Konoha!" 

"I have personally experienced Naruto's control over the Nine-Tails' chakra. Kakashi has also confirmed that Naruto will not go berserk even when he uses the Nine-Tails' chakra." 

"For the sake of the village, I have already made concessions by taking Naruto to the underground chamber of Root before breaking the seal. Why are you still stopping me?" 

"Could it be that they really can't stand the birth of a perfect jinchūriki in the village?" 

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words left Danzō speechless. 

Only at this moment did Danzō finally understand that he was not inferior to Hiruzen because of his lower rank. 

Rather, it was his lack of cunning and eloquence that put him at a disadvantage every time. 

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" 

Danzō Shimura was filled with grief and indignation. He never dreamed that he, as the Fifth Hokage, would have to say such a thing. 

Bang! 

As soon as he finished speaking, the desk in front of him was smashed to pieces, displaying a style reminiscent of the Fourth Raikage. 

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya left the place without a care in the world. 

The so-called Fifth Hokage was nothing more than a figurehead to fool the common people, the daimyō, and people from other countries. 

In Konoha, no ninja of any standing would take Danzō, the Fifth Hokage, too seriously. 

They knew in their hearts that as long as the Third Hokage lived, power would remain in his hands forever. 

Now, he had simply stepped back from the forefront to the background. 

... 

Inside the underground chamber at the base! 

This was a place that Danzō Shimura had built specifically for disaster prevention and refuge. 

Not only could it block perception, but it could also prevent the Byakugan from seeing through it. Even the Byakugan of the Ōtsutsuki clan could not see this place. 

This place was undoubtedly the most suitable location to break Naruto's seal. 

"Naruto, are you ready?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto Uzumaki with a kind expression. "Are you confident that you can fully control the power of the Nine-Tails?" 

"Of course!" Naruto Uzumaki nodded without hesitation. 

Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Jiraiya a meaningful look. 

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya's mouth opened wide, and a toad that looked like a scroll crawled out of his mouth. 

When Naruto saw this, he almost threw up. 

He thought to himself, "How disgusting!" 

Luckily, he had not signed a contract with Mount Myōboku, otherwise he would have been eating a toad alive too. 

"Jiraiya, what do you want from me?" Gerotora looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression and asked. 

"Gerotora, I want you to open the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style left by Minato." 

"This child can now control the Nine-Tails' chakra and no longer needs a seal to suppress its power." 

Jiraiya pointed at Naruto Uzumaki and said to Gerotora. 

"Oh?" Gerotora looked at Naruto Uzumaki. "This brat is the Fourth Hokage's son? He doesn't look like his father at all." 

Gerotora really couldn't bring himself to comment on Naruto's appearance. How could the Fourth Hokage, who was so handsome, have such an ugly son? 

Naruto Uzumaki also sensed the intense malice in his eyes. 

This greatly displeased the young tyrant of Konoha. 

"Hey, you stinky toad, can you break the seal for me or not?" Naruto Uzumaki said coldly. "If you can't break it, then stop talking nonsense." 

He was truly fed up with this world that judged people by their appearance! 

Once he became the perfect jinchūriki, his primary goal would be to kill all the toads in this world. 

These damned toads must never appear in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant!" 

"Then let's see if you have the guts to be arrogant." 

As Gerotora spoke, he jumped directly in front of Naruto Uzumaki and placed a palm on his stomach. 

In that instant, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style pattern on his belly gradually faded and then disappeared. 

In his inner world, Kurama also clearly felt that the power of the seal was no longer enough to restrain him. 

This made the Nine-Tails roar with immense excitement, and it slammed its claw against the prison door. 

However, the Sealing Tag with the word "seal" on it suddenly flashed with light. 

Suddenly, a figure appeared between Naruto Uzumaki, Black Zetsu, and Kurama. 

This person had blond hair and wore the Hokage's robes. The words "Fourth Hokage" were clearly visible on his back.

...
