Chapter 249 - 249 (1/2)

Ryo's eyes were not deceiving him; this was really Minato's body standing before him!

”You all hide! Hand over this matter to me!” Ryo said to the 3rd's Anbu.

Fools don't become Anbu, and everyone around Minato realized that the horrifying Chakra being emitted by Minato's body was nothing that they could deal with. In fact, Ryo telling them that he would handle the matter was all that they wanted to hear.

After they went away, Ryo entered the Ice-Lightning Chakra mode, and carefully watched ”Minato”…

Unexpectedly, the latter did not launch any attack, just standing still.

”Ryo, try to establish a Telepathic link with him. I don't think Kurama is out of control anymore!” Korin suggested.

Ryo nodded, establishing a spiritual link with the Kyubi in Minato's body.

Immediately, he noticed that Kurama's mind seemed to be lost, and that his thoughts were all chaotic. He tried to communicate with him, talking gently and trying to calm him down.

Gradually, Kurama returned to his senses. A few minutes later, he was sober. He had no memories of what happened after Naruto's birth.

After sensing that Kurama was back to his senses, Ryo quickly asked: ”Kurama, are you awake?”

”Kid, what's going on? What happened to Kushina? How is she?” Kurama heard Ryo's voice going through his mind and immediately asked him.

”Ne-san is very good, both mother and son are safe, but Minato….”

After a few moments of silence, Kurama shouted: ”Kid, tell me everything!”

Ryo nodded, inputting his thoughts into Kurama's mind, playing the events that occurred like a movie.

Minato's body's face turned gloomy. This was the second time ever that the Kyubi was controlled in all his years! And this time, because of him, Minato ended up dying.

”Kurama, I cannot blame you; no one could. Still, I have a question: How could the masked man still control you after Ni-san separated him from you with a contract seal?”

”I guess this time the control was not just done by simply using the Mangekyo! I still feel residual external Yin and Yang Chakra; that must have been done to seal my consciousness from my body, and make me a mindless killing machine. I guess it was sealed as a countermeasure against your own Mangekyo.” Kurama explained.

”So, that's the case! Kurama, what are you going to do now? Perhaps go back to Naruto and merge with your other half?”

After thinking about it, Kurama shook his head: ”We should maintain things as they are for now. From your memories, I've just learn that you have a way to resurrect Minato. I guess this body should be preserved!”

”I only need a portion of Minato's body. The vitality in the body has been exhausted, and I cannot use it anymore.”

”If that's the case, then I guess I should merge with my other half! I also…”

”Hold on! Kurama, I think your Chakra is better off remaining split!” Korin poked her head out of Ryo's bag, interrupting Kurama.

The Kyubi glanced at Korin. just from Ryo's memories, he had already realized that she was now a Juubi-like being, so her words held much weight.

”Why?” With this in mind, Kurama asked Korin.

She answered: ”Here's the deal! You're the Yin half of Kurama, and your spiritual power is already stronger. I think you should remain outside, and by learning the Yamanaka's secret techniques, with your already power spiritual power, and my help, it's likely that you would end up returning to being a full Kyubi!”

Listening to her, Kurama began considering her suggestion.

”Kurama, you can stay separated, but you can't remain in Ni-san's body. He is the Hokage, so it would be too conspicuous if you remain like this!” Ryo said.

Korin answered without hesitation: ”Then use a Zetsu's body!”
