Awaken the Tenseigan, Become the Mastermind of the Shinobi World

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 – Father and Son Clash



With a snap of Hyuga Gakuya's fingers, the sealing chains that had bound Minato Namikaze shattered in an instant.

Minato broke free once more, now fully enveloped in the same mode as Naruto—the form linked with Kurama's chakra.

The ninja standing guard over the seal attempted to intervene, but was violently flung back by nine golden tails that burst forth without warning.

Minato grimaced, forcing out three agonizing words:

"Stop me...!"

Hyuga Gakuya chuckled.

"Now the real father-son showdown begins."

In the next moment, Gakuya completely sealed away Minato's consciousness. With his Yin-Kurama already under control , Minato had now become a manufactured, perfect jinchūriki.

Under Gakuya's manipulation, Minato's figure blurred like a phantom as he shot toward Naruto. Gone was the warmth and compassion in his gaze—only icy indifference and a killing intent remained.

Naruto stared at the all-too-familiar figure of his father, now twisted and unrecognizable. His emotions surged, eyes brimming with tears.

"Dad, it's me—Naruto!" he cried.

But Minato didn't falter for even a second. A massive Rasengan formed in his hand as he drove it straight at Naruto.

Just then, Jiraiya leapt in front of Naruto, forming a giant Rasengan of his own to counter the blow.

"Minato's consciousness is gone—fight back, now!" he roared.

The two Rasengans collided in a deafening clash. Jiraiya did his best to resist, but it was clear he was being pushed back.

Tsunade's eyes widened with fury.

"Damn it!" she shouted, channeling her monstrous strength as she charged toward Minato.

From the side, Gaara manipulated his sand in support, trying to restrict Minato's movements.

Ōnoki and Mei Terumī also joined the fray, unleashing their own powerful techniques. A storm of high-level jutsu filled the battlefield.

Yet even the combined assault of the Four Kage was scattered effortlessly by the golden chakra tails lashing out from Minato.

Standing off to the side, Hyuga Gakuya observed the chaos with a cold smile, already planning his next move.

Despite the overwhelming attacks coming at him from all sides, Minato's assault remained fierce and unrelenting. Each strike carried deadly force, as if his only goal was to wipe out everyone before him.

Naruto's heart twisted in agony as he watched his father lose himself to madness.

"Dad, I know you're still in there! Please... wake up!" he called out.

Minato's movements briefly faltered. A flicker of struggle passed through his eyes—but it was quickly drowned by cold detachment as he resumed his merciless attacks.

A golden, translucent fox head formed around him, mouth beginning to gather a jet-black Tailed Beast Ball.

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes. With no other choice, he responded in kind, forming a Tailed Beast Ball of his own.

The two projectiles shot forth, colliding mid-air in a colossal explosion. The shockwave ripped through the battlefield, annihilating everything in its path.

Gakuya used his gravitational powers to pull himself and the Six Paths of Pain safely out of range, while the rest of the Allied Forces were shielded just in time by Gaara's sand.

Naruto stood staring at the father he could no longer reach, gripped by grief—but he knew there was no time to dwell. He clenched his fists, fighting back tears as his expression hardened.

"Sorry, Dad!" he yelled, forming a massive Rasengan.

Minato vanished in a flash, reappearing right in front of Naruto with a kunai aimed at his throat. Naruto twisted to evade, swinging his Rasengan toward Minato's chest.

Minato flipped backward to avoid the strike, then surged forward again at blinding speed, launching into a furious close-quarters battle.

Naruto gritted his teeth and fought back with everything he had. Each exchange of blows sent pain jolting through his body.

"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!" he roared, seizing an opening to unleash the high-speed, chakra-infused projectile.

Minato rapidly formed hand signs.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

In an instant, he vanished—reappearing behind Naruto with a swift kick that sent him stumbling forward.

Naruto caught himself, pivoted, and charged once more.

"I won't give up on you, Dad!"

Again, a flicker of inner conflict surfaced in Minato's eyes—only to be buried beneath icy detachment.

"Kurama—lend me your power!" Naruto roared.

...

In a flash, Naruto transformed—entering full Tailed Beast Mode. A massive golden fox of chakra erupted around him, its nine tails thrashing wildly through the air.

Grabbing onto Minato, Naruto dashed away, dragging the battle far from the surrounding shinobi to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Driven purely by battle instinct, Minato too entered full Tailed Beast Mode. A second golden Nine-Tails identical to Naruto's broke free and met him head-on.

The two colossal foxes clashed in an open plain, each strike carrying apocalyptic force. The ground was torn apart, debris blasted skyward, and the sky filled with dust and fury.

Naruto's Tailed Beast hurled a Tailed Beast Ball at Minato's. The latter dodged skillfully, letting the black sphere explode in the distance with a shockwave that shook the land.

Minato took advantage of the chaos, slashing at Naruto's form with razor-sharp claws, carving deep gashes into his flank. Naruto roared in pain, then whipped his tails forward, knocking Minato back with a mighty blow.

"Dad—please wake up!" Naruto cried within his heart, trying to reach out through the link shared between Yin and Yang Kurama.

But the controlled Minato gave no response—only another wave of savage attacks.

The two Nine-Tails became a blur of motion as they bit, clawed, and pummeled each other, their golden chakra blazing like twin suns in a brutal, unrelenting clash.

Naruto's eyes steeled with resolve. He had no choice—he would pour everything into one final effort to break Hyuga Gakuya's control.

"Kurama, let's do this together!" he shouted.

Kurama roared back, surging more power into Naruto. The golden chakra cloaking him blazed even brighter, an overwhelming force pressing toward Minato.

Under that crushing pressure, Minato's movements faltered for the first time.

Naruto seized the moment and lunged forward, wrapping his arms around Minato tightly.

"Dad... I believe in you. I know you can fight off this darkness!" Naruto called out again and again.

At last—within Minato's eyes—the faint glimmer of resistance began to shine stronger...
