Naruto: Playing Minecraft In Konoha

Naruto spent most of the day restoring the training field to its original state.

Thankfully, for him, it wasn't that hard.

If Yamato had seen the scorched land left behind, he probably would've panicked.

Around dusk, Kakashi came to Naruto once again, taking a steak and a figurine with him.

He even grabbed an extra recovery potion from Naruto on behalf of Guy, who was worried about Lee.

After his match with Gaara, Lee was lying in the hospital, practically crippled.

The doctors said that to heal him, they'd need the skills of Lady Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin; otherwise, Lee would spend his life lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi remembered the potion Naruto had once given him.

Of course, his main reason for visiting Naruto was still to take the steak and figurine.

Counting his previous encounters, he'd now dreamed about deceased friends three times...

But he still hadn't seen Obito.

He had even encountered Fugaku Uchiha and had a chat with him about Sasuke's situation.

Fugaku's furious expression nearly convinced Kakashi he'd actually crossed over into the afterlife.

"I'm heading back now..."

"Naruto, remember, when you're practicing the Rasengan, don't do it in the village."

Holding the figurine, Kakashi was just about to leave when he suddenly recalled the day's events and gave Naruto another reminder.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

"You've told me seven times already today."

Naruto waved him off, signaling him to leave quickly.

After watching the white-haired teacher depart, Naruto opened a portal and stepped into a desolate area outside the Land of Waves, ready to continue practicing the Rasengan.

Naruto held out his hand, starting to gather chakra.

After the previous explosion, he was more cautious, controlling the chakra flow while closely monitoring the orb in his hand.

But once again, he forgot to rotate the chakra ball in his palm.

Bzzzzz—

The violent chakra flared up in his hand, though this time, Naruto felt he could control the force within it.

He even thought he might be able to launch it forward.

The ball grew brighter, on the verge of exploding.

At that moment, the ever-watchful Nine-Tails spoke up.

"Kid, throw that thing away from you."

Hearing his mentor speak, Naruto didn't hesitate, trying to fling the blue orb from his hand.

But despite his efforts, it clung to him like glue, refusing to budge.

Frustrated, Naruto increased his chakra output.

He was determined to launch this blue sphere.

Boom—

A blue beam shot from Naruto's hand, tearing through everything in its path.

Naruto's expression grew more puzzled as he observed the scene.

"Uh... this..."

"Why does this look... a lot like a Kamehameha?"

Honestly, he'd been aiming to master the Rasengan.

After all, it was a family technique; there was no reason for it to end with him, Uzumaki Naruto.

The Nine-Tails, observing from his sealed space, raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.

The Rasengan was based on the Tailed Beast Bomb, a fact he was well aware of.

But this technique Naruto just used...

It was powerful!

Stronger than even Minato's Rasengan!

He wasn't sure how the kid managed it, but he had already run a mental simulation, realizing that his own Tailed Beast Bomb could replicate the same effect.

And it would be even stronger than Naruto's!

Perfect!

This technique would be an excellent addition to his repertoire!

"How about I try it with both hands?"

Naruto muttered to himself, his face lighting up with excitement.

He eyed a nearby hill, then brought his hands together at his waist, shouting each word with enthusiasm.

"Ka—me—ha—me—ha!"

The next second, a bright blue glow enveloped his hands.

Confident from his initial success, Naruto ramped up his chakra output.

Just as the glowing chakra sphere in his hands neared its breaking point, he thrust his hands forward.

A blue-white beam of energy erupted from his hands, hurtling toward the distant hill.

Whoosh—

The beam surged forward, blasting through the hill without resistance, carving a path over a hundred meters long before it finally vanished.

Inside the sealed space, the Nine-Tails watched, feeling an itch to test it himself.

He wanted to try this technique using his Tailed Beast Bomb and see what kind of power it could unleash.

"Naruto, come in here for a moment."

"Huh?"

Naruto, still caught up in the joy of mastering his new Kamehameha-like move, was momentarily dazed by the sudden summons from the big fox.

Nevertheless, he obediently allowed his consciousness to drift into the sealed space, standing face-to-face with the massive fox.

Seeing the giant fox looming before him, Naruto's expression mirrored the Third Hokage's exasperated look.

"Naruto, hold out your hand."

"Oh."

Naruto obediently raised his hand, placing it before the giant fox.

The Nine-Tails reached out, pressing his large paw gently against Naruto's hand.

"Naruto, remember this well..."

"My name is Kurama!"

As the voice echoed, Naruto's consciousness snapped back to reality.

He looked down, stunned to see himself enveloped in a red chakra cloak.

Raising his hands, he noticed red bubbles of chakra rising from his skin, like fizzy bubbles from a soda.

The chakra surged around him, its sheer volume staggering.

It didn't take long for Naruto to realize the big fox had given him a major boost...

This was the Tailed Beast Cloak!

"Naruto, relax your mind and let me take control."

Hearing the big fox's voice, Naruto didn't resist and allowed his mind to calm, temporarily relinquishing control of his body.

Though he had no idea what the fox intended to do, after all their years together, he trusted it wouldn't harm him.

As he let his mind go blank, he suddenly realized his hands had moved together at his waist...

Huh???

Was the fox planning to fire a Kamehameha too??

"Naruto, watch closely..."

"This is how you use this technique!"

As the fox's voice sounded, a black sphere formed between Naruto's hands.

What the...!?

A Tailed Beast Bomb!?

The fox was taking it to the next level!

The black sphere, its destructive power unmistakable, left Naruto wide-eyed, his mind buzzing with alarm.

The blue chakra orb he had created was manageable and wouldn't harm him too badly if it exploded.

But if this thing went off here...

He'd need to start considering whether the Sage of the Six Paths would personally show up to pick up the pieces.

While Naruto's mind raced, Kurama had already taken control, launching his hands forward to release the black energy beam.

It tore forward with unrestrained force, tearing through the distant hill like a hot knife through butter.

Naruto's vision flashed white, his ears ringing as the mountain disintegrated under Kurama's "Tailed Beast Bomb Kamehameha."

Witnessing the fox's mastery of the technique, Naruto didn't hold back his praise.

"The wisdom of the great fox!!"
