I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Encased in the tailed beast cloak, he resembled a humanoid beast with only a vague outline!

"Click."

Ice splattered everywhere, and the giant hand shattered.

Amidst that deafening, inhuman roar, Naruto Uzumaki completely broke free from the Susanoo's restraints and eagerly charged toward his prey in sight!

At this moment, a tremendous gasp of amazement erupted from the entire audience.

Almost everyone was cheering for this exciting match.

However, very few people clearly understand what kind of escalating danger this represents!

The entire venue could be reduced to wasteland!

At this moment, the sixth tail emerged from the tip of its coccyx and swayed slowly in the void.

"Oh, the strength of your genin is truly eye-opening."

A teasing yet excited praise came from the Fourth Kazekage.

He stared intently at the two people in the field with a look of madness, like a sword fanatic gazing at a peerless sword.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage unusually did not respond to the other party's praise according to etiquette. Instead, he tensed up and shifted his gaze away from Uchiha Ara, focusing all his attention on the several chakra tails swaying in the void.

He knew perfectly well that once the number of tails increased to nine,

So........

at the same time,

In Konoha City, there is an open-air hot spring bath with wisps of steam rising from it.

A white-haired man, who had been soaking most of his body in the hot spring, sipping fine wine and listening to the sounds of women talking behind the wooden planks, suddenly got up.

The carefree smile that had been on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an overwhelming solemnity.

"Naruto?"

"How can it be!"

Undisguised astonishment escaped his lips, and as he hastily wrapped himself in a bath towel and disappeared into the hot spring, several hideous and gruesome wounds could be seen on his chest, near his heart.

These scars look like claw marks left by some kind of wild animal!

'Clad.'

With a faint metallic twisting sound, the iron railing slowly deformed and shrank in a calloused hand.

Looking at the two people in the arena, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were filled with intense resentment.

Putting aside the vile fellow who wanted to strip him of his surname, even the bottom-of-the-class student he used to look down on suddenly unleashed a terrifying power!

Such power, such confrontation, completely extinguished the last vestige of pride in his heart.

Power, power!

Uchiha Sasuke bit his lower lip hard, roaring madly in his heart. Even the metallic taste that seeped into his mouth from his lower lip could not dispel the obsession in his heart.

perhaps,

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the hand that had been squeezing the iron railing out of shape quietly loosened and then touched his left neck.

There is a seal there.

The power sealed within this seal had already been tasted in the previous sparring match.

As he pondered, Uchiha Sasuke slowly raised his face. If one looked closely, one could see a subtle change in his scarlet eyes.

The right eye, which originally had only two tomoe, has now completely transformed into a three-tomoe eye!

"Naruto Uzumaki."

The murmured whisper came from Gaara's mouth, who had his arms crossed over his chest.

He looked at the Konoha genin who was acting like a mad beast, with several chakra tails dancing behind him, and a hint of realization seemed to flash in his eyes.

However, aside from the enlightenment that leaped into his eyes, what terrified him even more, even terrified his soul, was the guy who was holding Naruto Uzumaki by the neck with one hand and slowly lifting him up!

【Uchiha Ara, just who are you?!】

At the same time, a sudden sound rang in his ears, leaving him momentarily stunned.

[Nine-tailed Fox, Kurama.]

That's the name of the monster sealed inside that blond boy.

However, even Kurama might not be able to gain the upper hand under those eyes.

The voice was sharp yet carried a deep, reverent quality.

"you,"

【Who are you.】

Even though Gaara already had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't quite believe his ears and the guess.

His gaze swept to both sides out of the corner of his eye.

No one noticed that he had spoken out of the blue just now, and no one looked at him.

Therefore, this means that the voice truly originated from within his sea of ​​consciousness!

And it seems that only that monster could do all of this.

Are you... Shukaku?

Gaara silently recited this in his heart, as this was the first time he had a formal conversation with that demon tanuki.

That's right, it's your guardian deity, Shukaku!

Humans, next time you address me, please use a respectful term!

【Understand?】

Sensing the caution and awe in the host's tone, the one-tailed fox responded calmly, its voice carrying an undisguised hint of pride.

However, after Gaara gradually calmed down, he did not respond to the monster's threats with utmost respect.

He was just silently thinking about something.

Shukaku, who had never initiated any communication with him over the years, was now strangely striking up a conversation with him.

Although Yu Zhi's tone was filled with an arrogant and condescending attitude, it was still a huge breakthrough.

The reason for this strange phenomenon is probably not just because it sensed the aura released by its own kind, but because of that person!

Since he is willing to accept you.

Then you should just obediently listen to him.

This is the best choice for everyone.

Following the host's perspective, Shukaku guessed that Gaara had remembered something, which is why it spoke in a certain way, and its tone also restrained its eccentric nature.

After all, he remembered that night, that person had also extended an invitation to his host body.

The one who had the ability to eliminate or control them through force did not.

After a month of reflection, Shukaku has finally figured things out.

The reason the other party did this was entirely because their nature was not as wicked as those who always wanted to use and control the tailed beasts, nor did they have any ambition to compete for supremacy.

The reason they chose to spare themselves and the host with the tragic past was because they empathized with their long-standing sorrowful situation.

Gaara remained silent, continuing to watch the battle unfold before him.

No, perhaps "crushing" would be a more appropriate word.

But in his ears, he felt that person's invitation ring out once again:

It seems that Sunagakure is not truly willing to accept you.

So, do you want to come with me?

In exchange,

I will become your cage, binding your power so that you can live like an ordinary person.

He had recalled at least five such words within the past month!

"Are you alright, Gaara?"

But just then, he heard that familiar voice again.

Following this caring greeting, he saw his blood-related older sister, Temari.

At that moment, he was looking at him with a worried expression.

There was clearly no special bond between them.

However, when Goara caught a glimpse of Kankuro hiding behind Temari and the faint look of worry on his face, he fell silent and recalled Shukaku's earlier words.

My departure will be good for everyone.

"have a finger in the pie."

Cold words came from his mouth.

After saying that, Gaara turned his gaze to the arena, looking at the battle that was nearing its end.

However, it should be noted that in the past, he wouldn't have even responded.

"Laugh,"

"Ah."

Naruto Uzumaki, whose neck was being choked, was unable to speak. He could only wave his arms wildly at the person closest to him in his field of vision, driven by his madness.

No matter how much it struggled or exerted its strength, it could not break free from Huang's grip, which was like a pair of pliers!

At this moment, a seventh chakra tail appeared at the tailbone. Some time had passed since the seventh tail appeared, but the last two tails had not yet appeared.

It's like hitting a bottleneck.

However, this bottleneck is not insurmountable. Ara can sense that an even more powerful chakra energy is about to erupt from Naruto's body.

At that time, he may no longer be facing simple jinchūriki.
