Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 222 : Nine Tails Super Evolution, Ten Tails!

Shinra Tensei!

After retreating to a safer distance, Tendo Pain fired off a powerful Shinra Tensei toward Kurama. But to his disbelief, Kurama didn’t even budge.

"Impossible... He actually withstood the full impact of Shinra Tensei!"

But Kurama had transformed—he now resembled a miniature version of the Nine Tails, cloaked in a thick, dark red chakra shroud, with six tails flickering menacingly behind him. He was in a half-Tailed Beast state, and the ninth tail hadn’t even emerged yet.

In the original timeline, Naruto, with only the Yang half of Kurama sealed inside him, managed to tank Shinra Tensei in his six-tailed form and still pummel Tendo Pain senseless.

But this—this was a complete Jinchūriki.

Kurama had all the tailed beasts sealed inside him.

How could Shinra Tensei possibly faze him?

"There’s a five-second cooldown between your gravitational techniques, isn’t there?"

"What?!"

Tendo’s face twisted in horror.

Before he could react, Kurama appeared right in front of him.

"Too slow."

A dark red chakra arm shot out and gripped Tendo’s head like a ripe melon. With a subtle twist, Kurama tore it clean off.

"What the hell, even Pain’s getting soft these days," Kurama said with a chuckle.

In under five minutes, all Six Paths of Pain had been annihilated.

And now, Kurama could sense Nagato’s true body.

Approximately fifty kilometers away.

But he didn’t need to go hunting.

Nagato was already on his way.

"Looks like he still thinks he can win."

Kurama smirked. Nagato wasn’t giving up so easily. He still had his dream of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. And with all the tailed beasts in Kurama’s control, Nagato couldn’t afford to let him walk.

So as Kurama stood calmly, waiting, he conjured a Shadow Clone.

One flicker of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and whoosh!

The clone returned to Konoha.

At that very moment, Konan stood by a balcony in her residence, gazing over the peaceful village. Then suddenly, a muscular arm snaked around her waist.

Warm, rough, familiar.

She didn’t even need to look.

"Kurama-sama..."

"Missed me?"

She blushed slightly. "I heard there was an attack. Weren’t you out there fighting?"

"Handled it. Took five minutes."

"That fast?"

"Well, you were on my mind."

Konan scoffed playfully. "You already have a redhead at home, an obedient maid, and the Uchiha princess herself. Why would you be thinking of me?"

Kurama leaned in, grinning. "If you weren’t special, would I risk chakra just to teleport over for a hug?"

She smiled. It was a rare thing. A soft, real smile.

Then Kurama whispered, "Come with me. I want you to meet someone."

Konan raised an eyebrow. "Meet someone? Who?"

"You’ll know when we get there."

Out in a remote desert, Nagato finally arrived.

Kurama stood still, eyes closed as if meditating, waiting calmly.

"You were waiting for me?"

Kurama opened one eye. "Isn’t it obvious?"

Nagato’s voice dropped. "You think you’re invincible just because you trashed six corpses?"

"What a coincidence," Kurama replied, cracking his neck. "I do."

Nagato gritted his teeth. "So, is the Nine Tails here with you? Or did you leave it in Konoha?"

Kurama simply gestured. "Why don’t you come find out yourself?"

Nagato paused.

Even in verbal sparring, he was losing.

But it didn’t matter. The Nine Tails was inside Kurama. He was sure.

He had to take it.

He could always remake the Six Paths.

If the other tailed beasts were elsewhere, he’d deal with them later. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

First, capture the Nine Tails.

Suddenly—BOOM!

A puff of white smoke.

And standing before Nagato... was Konan.

Kurama’s Shadow Clone had just delivered her and vanished.

Nagato was stunned.

Konan was more so.

"Nagato...? Is that you?"

"Yes. It’s me."

Konan’s heart sank. For years, she thought he was dead. Killed by Hanzō.

Kurama stayed silent as Konan told him about Yahiko, Nagato, and their dream.

It all made sense now.

Nagato had also believed Konan was dead. In fact, during the supposed peace talks, a fake Konan had attacked him.

But now?

Nagato didn’t care anymore.

He believed the real Konan—Yahiko too—existed only in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

And the one standing here?

Just a shadow.

A false remnant.

To Nagato, this world was beyond salvation.

Only an illusion could be peaceful.

Konan saw it.

He wasn’t the same Nagato she knew.

Her eyes darted to the ground—Yahiko’s body lay there.

Pierced with black chakra rods, lifeless.

"Nagato... did you do this? Why? Why desecrate Yahiko’s body like this?"

Nagato’s voice was hollow. "It’s just a corpse. The real Yahiko lives in the Tsukuyomi world. So do you."

Konan took a shaky step back.

This man... he had truly lost it.

Changed beyond recognition.

"This world is a lie," Nagato whispered.

"And all lies must be destroyed."

BOOM!

A barrage of rockets launched from Nagato’s mechanized limbs, Shuradō’s power on full display.

"Mangekyō Sharingan: Kamui!"

Kurama’s eyes flared, a spiraling vortex swallowing the incoming missiles into another dimension.

"Konan, this isn’t the Nagato you knew."

"...Yes."

Konan exhaled slowly.

"I see that now. I won’t hold back against someone who seeks to destroy the truth."

Kurama smiled, his hand resting on her shoulder.

"Let me handle him. Go have some tea."

Konan nodded silently, stepping aside.

She knew the power of the Rinnegan.

If she stayed, she’d only get in Kurama’s way.

The two warriors stared at each other across the dunes.

One burned with conviction, the other twisted by despair.

This was no longer a battle of chakra.

It was a battle of ideology.

A war between delusion and reality.

Between love and loss.

Between a god who gave up on the world...

And a beast who refused to let it die.
