Uzumaki Naruto slept very sweetly, and a few tears that occasionally rolled from the corners of his eyes seemed to say, "I'm not an orphan, but a hero's child."
The Third Hokage held Naruto tightly, his eyes fixed firmly on Uchiha Swain's red right hand.
If there was any movement from him, the next battle would be moved directly out of Konoha by the Third Hokage.
Danzo's gloomy face was as usual. However, neither of them called their subordinates to move the sleeping villagers.
They were all afraid, afraid that any slight movement would cause the black devil to strike first.
Even if the two friends joined forces at this time, they still lacked confidence.
Uchiha Swain made a hand sign with one hand and summoned a crow with three pairs of red pupils. It stood quietly on Swain's shoulder.
But its posture, ready to attack, was like the prelude to a touch of release.
Suddenly, Swain smiled, "You made the right decision, monkey. Naruto is far more important than the Nine Tails."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed with relief and loosened his grip on Naruto's hand a little.
Did you know? The Third Hokage was very smart, smarter than the Second Hokage. He had spent more time in politics than all the other Hokage combined, and he understood human nature very well.
Even if the entire council came to oppose his choice of Naruto today, Sarutobi Hiruzen would still firmly choose Naruto.
Because Uchiha Swain never made unfair exchanges.
Often, the most conspicuous thing is the least valuable. Of course, this is just one way to say it. The Nine Tails is naturally important.
But what Swain wanted more was the Ashura power within Naruto, that gentle and life-filled power that could just neutralize his increasingly frequent desires.
And the purpose of wanting the Nine Tails was to have the fox help him collect Sage Art Chakra. Swain had a feeling that as long as he learned Sage Art, he would no longer be restricted or affected by the demon arm.
Don't ask me why the Nine Tails knows Sage Art. Anyway, it had been hiding it until the very end when it finally revealed it. Spoilers are good.
"Monkey, now that you've made your choice, I'll begin. Is that okay?" Swain made a very gentlemanly gesture, pretending to tip his hat in respect, and bowed slightly to show respect. If it weren't for the playful smile on his face, the Third Hokage might have really believed that this black devil was showing weakness.
"Don't hurt Naruto. A Jinchuriki will die after the Tailed Beast is extracted, you know that, right?" The Third Hokage still handed over Naruto.
Shimura Danzo was about to shout when he was glared back by a red eye that suddenly appeared beside him.
"Don't worry, soul fragments have many wonderful uses." Swain didn't care. If life force is lost, just replenish it, right? My crows have been hungry for a long time...
His signature crows, with three pairs of red pupils, extended dark red arms and began to pull at the Nine Tails Chakra within Naruto.
This was an attraction from the soul level and had nothing to do with the seal. Swain had no intention of messing up the scene of parents meeting. Kushina and Minato's Chakra were still safely inside Naruto.
As the red tentacles increased, the whiskers on Naruto's face slowly decreased, and his life force was gradually decreasing.
Suddenly, a vital and extremely high-quality Chakra replaced the Nine Tails, filling Naruto's body. But there was too little of it.
Uchiha Swain chuckled and thought, "This Ashura Chakra is actually protecting Naruto at this moment. It's a pity it hasn't grown stronger yet. The quality is good enough, but the quantity is limited. Then let me help you out."
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, two black wings suddenly grew from Uchiha Swain's back, identical to the crow's wings. Then two scarlet soul fragments, but only emanating vitality, floated from Swain's wings and went straight to Naruto.
The Ashura Chakra was nourished, like a seedling looking forward to spring rain, singing joyfully. The most obvious aspect was that the land around Naruto actually slowly grew tender green buds.
Almost simultaneously, Uchiha Swain's crows flew into his body, and Uzumaki Naruto was surrounded by a mass of trees.
"Congratulations to you, Konoha Hokage lineage, for gaining another Sage Body!"
Ever since Uchiha Swain released the soul fragments, Shimura Danzo's eyes, filled with darkness, had never stopped having greedy thoughts. If he had this thing, could he also use Wood Release? Instead of using Sharingan to balance it...
This idea took root in the heart of this "big pot," but unfortunately, he didn't know that only Swain could use soul fragments. No one else could take them away or extract them.
