Uzumaki Naruto successfully entered Perfect Nine‑Tails Chakra Mode—also called Kurama Mode—and instantly took on a Nine‑Tails avatar reminiscent of Susanoo.

Next, he compressed a mass of Tailed‑Beast chakra to unleash his ultimate finisher …

Nine‑Tails Tailed‑Beast Bomb!

In a flash, a gigantic sphere of concentrated chakra exploded forward, hurtling straight toward Uchiha Obito!

Although Obito did not truly fear it, the overwhelming power Naruto displayed still made his heart lurch.

Rumble—

BOOM!!!

The violent blast shook the entire Four Red Yang Formation. On the ground, everything within range was razed in an instant—nothing but rubble and scorched earth as the land quaked and the sky seemed to crack.

Everyone inside the barrier staggered under the shock‑wave, barely able to keep their footing.

Yet the Four Red Yang Formation remained intact. Not even a Nine‑Tails Bomb—nor, for that matter, a Ten‑Tails Bomb launched after the Ten‑Tails' revival—could break this sealing barrier. Luckily so; otherwise the single strike just now would have wiped out the whole Konoha.

Obito phased out with Kamui to dodge the explosion, but his earlier disdain for Naruto was gone.

"How can that kid have such power… He's still just a wet‑behind‑the‑ears brat…"

Naruto, for his part, was panting lightly. Forcing himself into Kurama Mode put a heavy strain on his young body.

"‑‑Naruto," Kurama warned inside him, "this form can't last. Three minutes at most… We have to finish him before then."

Naruto nodded, yet he had no idea how to deal with Obito's intangibility.

"Kurama, it's just like you said—no matter how strong our attacks are, if we can't hit him it's meaningless…"

Kurama sighed. "Back then, the Fourth Hokage relied on his Flying Thunder God speed. The moment Obito turned solid to attack, Minato countered and beat him. But matching Minato's speed is… difficult for us."

In truth, Naruto's speed in Nine‑Tails Chakra Mode was already terrifying. In the original story—even in the incomplete form—he dodged the Fourth Raikage, who had been the fastest shinobi after Minato's death. With Kurama Mode, he should be even faster, perhaps exceeding the Raikage.

But the real issue was Naruto's own lack of overall power. He hung his head.

"Kurama, I know, I'm too weak… A perfect Jinchūriki should be able to outpace him. Damn…"

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in Naruto and Kurama's mental space—

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki!

Naruto gasped. "Y‑You're…"

Minato and Kushina exchanged a gentle, bittersweet smile.

"Naruto," Minato said softly, "I'm your father, and this is—"

"—your mother, Naruto!" Kushina cried as she rushed forward and hugged him.

"Dad… Mom…" Naruto froze in disbelief.

Minato explained: "I left some of our chakra in the Eight Trigrams Seal. We meant to appear during your training with the Nine‑Tails—to lend you strength and to meet you once you'd grown… Looks like you've already mastered Kurama's power."

Naruto hesitantly wrapped his arms around Kushina. Tears streamed down his face.

"Dad… Mom… I've been alone all these years… Everyone shunned me because of the Nine‑Tails… I missed you so much…"

Minato sighed. "I'm sorry, Naruto, for not being there… I've been an unfit father…"

Still holding his mother, Naruto managed a small, heartfelt smile. "No—you had no choice. It was those bad people who destroyed our family… I'll avenge you!"

"Besides," he added, "thanks to Lord Chiyu, the truth came out. People treat me differently now. I'm in the Academy, and I have friends—Gaara, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba… even Sasuke, sort of. And Iruka‑sensei looks after me, even if he's strict."

Minato smiled. "We've seen all of that from inside you. We haven't had the chance to thank Lord Chiyu yet…"

Kushina snorted. "That old fool Hiruzen promised to care for our son after Minato died, yet he let Naruto suffer. I'd like to tear him limb from limb!"

Minato could only sigh.

Naruto continued: "As long as Lord Chiyu and Iruka are there, I'm fine now… Dad, Mom, don't worry about me."

Kushina gave him a light punch. "How could we not worry, you rascal!"

Minato scratched his head. "Your mom's fiery, but she loves you most."

Kushina's expression turned grim. "But Obito still wants to kill Naruto—your wonderful student, Minato!"

Minato's face grew complicated. "Back then Obito was average‑talented but hardworking and kind. I never imagined he'd do this… You're right, I misjudged him."

Kushina grew angrier. "Stop blaming yourself! No matter his reasons, he tried to kill us and our son—he's worse than a beast!"

Minato let it pass and turned serious. "Naruto, beating Obito won't be easy, but there is a way."

"What should I do? I'll kill him and avenge you!"

"As Kurama said, you must counterattack the instant he materializes. That requires extreme speed."

"I'm not sure I can…"

Minato gripped his shoulder. "You can. You're our child. Your mom and I believe in you."

Kushina nodded. "We left chakra here to appear briefly. We can't help directly—you have only yourself."

Both parents looked toward Kurama.

"Kurama," Minato said, "whatever happened between us, Naruto is different. He wants to be your comrade. And Lord Chiyu promised to set the Tailed Beasts free someday. Until then, for your own sake and for Naruto's, fight with him."

Kurama paused, then smiled. "No need to preach, Minato. I know what Madara and Obito plan for us Tailed Beasts. I'll fight at full strength—but for myself, not for the kid."

Minato and Kushina exchanged a secret grin.

"Our time is almost up," Minato said. "Go, fight alongside Kurama. Pursue your dreams—we'll always be watching, believing in you."

Tears flowed again. "Dad… Mom… I'll be fine. With the power you gave me, I can defeat any enemy!"

"That's our boy," Minato smiled.

"Be happy, Naruto," Kushina whispered as their figures faded.

Silence returned to the inner world.

Kurama started to say something, but Naruto wiped his tears decisively.

"Let's go, Kurama!"

"Your strength's back?"

"With Dad and Mom as my two suns, I can beat anyone!"

Kurama chuckled. "Good! If you can handle it, I'll crank our chakra way up. Only then can we reach the speed to counter that bastard."

"Do it!"

…

All these exchanges took only an instant in the real world. Yet Obito clearly saw Naruto, who had looked exhausted moments before, suddenly recover—stronger than ever.

"What happened? He withstood the Nine‑Tails' chakra? And his mode just skyrocketed? A six‑ or seven‑year‑old can do that?!"

Arms folded, Naruto flashed a confident grin. "Uchiha Obito, I'm ten times stronger than before! I'll kill you myself and avenge my parents!"

Obito sneered. "Big words!" He clapped his hands and unleashed a Wood‑Release secret art:

"Wood Style: Revolt of Hell!"

Among Obito's Wood jutsu, this was one of the deadliest. When he'd witnessed Nohara Rin's death, he used it to slaughter dozens of Kiri Anbu, turning the battlefield into a river of blood; hence its name. Now, far stronger than back then, he erupted with chakra—massive thorned vines burst from the earth, instantly wrapping and restraining the fully transformed Nine‑Tails Naruto.

Wood Release naturally suppresses Tailed‑Beast chakra. Even in perfect Nine‑Tails form, Naruto and Kurama struggled, forcibly pinned.

"Damn! Not only is my power suppressed—my chakra feels like it's being drained…"

"That's why Wood Release counters Tailed Beasts," Kurama growled.

Frustrated, Naruto watched his newfound power nullified so quickly. Then—

"Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet!"

BOOM! Fierce wind chakra blasted the vines apart, freeing Naruto.

"Gaara!" Naruto cried with joy. Gaara had also entered full Tailed‑Beast form, standing with Shukaku.

Gaara said calmly, "Don't forget, you still have me."

Obito scoffed. "Another brat seeking death."

He drew countless giant kunai and shuriken from Kamui space, hurling them at Naruto and Gaara. Kurama's tails swatted them aside, while Shukaku's absolute defense blocked the rest—mere feints.

The real attack came next:

Thud‑thud‑thud— Enormous black receivers, each several meters long, shot from Kamui space. Made with Rinnegan power through Nagato, these rods could seal and pin Tailed Beasts—strong enough to immobilize even the perfect Eight‑Tails Jinchūriki, Killer B.

Shukaku's massive body was skewered, its chakra disrupted, its movements sealed.

"Gaara!" Naruto gasped. Kurama dodged all the rods, demonstrating the Nine‑Tails Jinchūriki's superior agility.

Unable to break free, Gaara shouted, "It's up to you, Naruto!"

Kurama shifted from beast form to human‑sized avatar, channeling his chakra into Naruto's body. Cloaked in burning gold, marked with black spirals and lines, his eyes now crimson fox slits—this was the perfected Nine‑Tails Jinchūriki, Kurama Mode.

Obito frowned. "Shrinking to human form to avoid the Rinnegan rods? Not just a simple fool, I see."

"Well done, Kurama!" Naruto said.

"Don't celebrate yet," Kurama snapped. "Now's the real fight. In this form, push your speed to the limit. Counter in the instant he solidifies—that's our only chance. But that demands perfect synchronization—complete trust between us."

Naruto turned, wearing a brilliant smile, and held out his fist. "Bump fists with me, Kurama—just like when Lord Chiyu witnessed it."

Kurama blinked, then smirked, closed his eyes for a moment, and bumped fists.

Pow— In that instant, boy and fox fully synchronized.

This was truly the perfected, ultimate Kurama Mode.

Confidence surging, Naruto pressed his hands together.

"Let's go, Kurama! One last strike!"

"Right!"
