Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 53 The Fastest Speed

bang bang bang...

In Yunlei Gorge, two figures, one large and one small, constantly clashed, their fists and feet exchanging blows that produced muffled thuds.

Naruto's eyes were filled with excitement, while Killer Bee grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

In a high-intensity physical combat battle lasting half an hour, he repeatedly seized Naruto's openings and sent him flying, but each time the kid seemed to feel no pain, patted his butt, got up, and charged at him again.

Not only that, Naruto's physical strength was also somewhat difficult for him to understand.

This kid doesn't even have a scratch!

"By the way, something's off with this kid."

Within the mental space, the silent Ox Demon suddenly spoke.

"Something's not right?"

Killer Bee gave a metallic salute: "Killer Bee's brother, the strongest Jinchūriki, it's a bit illogical, but it's to be expected! Yeah—"

Don't you dare place a bet!

The bull demon was speechless for a moment: "That little devil's body can no longer be considered purely human."

"What do you mean?"

Kirabi's expression froze.

"To be honest, if I couldn't feel the Nine-Tails inside him, I would have suspected that the Nine-Tails had turned into a human."

Ushioni's expression turned grave: "What you just saw wasn't a tailed beast chakra form. Although it looked somewhat similar, it wasn't the Nine-Tails' chakra, but rather that brat's own power!"

"This is really...surprising, super gay! V—"

Killer Bee kicked Naruto away and waved his hand, signaling a pause.

"Naruto, your body..."

Kirabi seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Although they had become sworn brothers, they had only just met, and he was unsure how to begin the conversation.

"Did Yamata tell you that?"

Naruto nodded knowingly. Humans might not understand his tailed beast form, but it certainly couldn't be hidden from the tailed beasts.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his fist: "Let's bump fists."

Killer Bee raised his hands, and his two fists, one large and one small, gently touched together.

In an instant, the two appeared in a vast spiritual world, with the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, two enormous tailed beasts, behind them.

"Nine Lamas..."

Upon seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox, Gyūki was visibly taken aback: "Why have you shrunk?"

"Get lost! Anyone who asks about this is dead!"

Nine-Tailed Fox sat up cursing, its nine fox tails flailing wildly behind its tall frame.

"Get smaller..."

Killer Bee stared at the enormous, orange-red creature before him, lost in thought: "This... isn't this the size of a normal tailed beast?"

"Well... although this guy is a bit unlikable, the Nine-Tails is indeed the strongest among us."

"We were all about the same size when we were little, but we changed as we grew up. The Nine-Tails was more than twice the size it is now when it was at its strongest."

The bull demon spoke in a muffled voice, his tone sounding somewhat sour.

Naruto recalled the original plot and realized that what Gyuki said was indeed correct.

After the Nine-Tails was split into two halves, Yin and Yang, its size did indeed decrease significantly.

The original story also included a comparison of the size of the claw marks; the claw marks before the split were larger than half of Yang Jiuwei's body! He still remembered it quite vividly.

Looking back now, apart from the group photo of the nine tailed beasts in their childhood, in other scenes where the tailed beasts gathered, the Nine-Tails always appeared in half-body form!

I blanched it...

Is my vixen really that fierce?

Naruto was shocked. He thought the Sage of Six Paths' favoritism was just a joke, but it turned out that this old man's favoritism was blatant!

No, it was covered up, but it was like burying one's head in the sand.

The size of a tailed beast is related to its chakra, and according to the Eight-Tails, all nine tailed beasts were about the same size when they were young.

As a result, when the other eight grew up, they found that they were still not even as tall as the nine-tailed fox.

They're all born of the same father, who wouldn't feel a bit resentful in that situation!

It's no wonder that the other tailed beasts all disliked the Nine-Tails to some extent...

"Hmph, now I can beat you up too."

Kurama snorted, noticing Naruto's shocked expression, and its smug tail almost flew off.

"This brat has a special ability; he's not affected by the tailed beast's chakra, so I gave him some."

Kurama made up an excuse and gave Naruto a threatening look.

It simply couldn't bring itself to say that it had been sealed in two halves...

"That's not right, this isn't just a simple lack of chakra—"

Noticing the increasingly dangerous gaze from Kurama, Hachiman wisely shut his mouth.

Although it's hard to admit, it's no match for the Nine-Tails, not even half of it...

"In short, this kid can now be considered half a tailed beast."

Kurama said, looking at Naruto, "Also, I don't know if you've noticed, Naruto, your body is fusing with this part of the chakra."

"Integration?"

Naruto asked, puzzled, "The Nine-Tails form?"

"No, it's the norm."

Kurama shook its head: "Your body is strengthening little by little. Although the speed is very slow, the strength is considerable for a human. Perhaps one day your Tailed Beast Mode will disappear—if I stop."

Naruto immediately understood.

Killer Bee looked completely bewildered: "I don't understand at all..."

"Ushiki, give him your chakra and try to disrupt this brat's chakra," Kurama called out.

"My chakra?"

The demon extended his fist to Naruto, bumped fists with him, and a surge of chakra entered Naruto's body.

Negative buff detected: Chakra disorder! Removed! Eight-Tails Chakra gained!

"Um?!"

The demon was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sensed his own chakra from Naruto.

It's not the kind of chakra that can be consumed, but rather it truly possesses the same chakra qualities as oneself.

"Kumakuya really did bring back a remarkable guy..."

Eight-Tails retracted its fist, its eyes filled with complex emotions: "Could this be the person the old man was talking about?"

Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled, "I don't know, but it's not bad."

"It's really impressive that you can put up with your bad temper."

As the Eight-Tails spoke, Naruto turned around, and his nine fox tails swayed gently behind him.

One of the fox tails trembled slightly and fell off his buttocks with a thud.

"An interesting ability..."

Naruto picked up the fox tail and handed it to Killer Bee, feeling that he could grow it back.

"It's yours."

What's the use of this thing?

Killer Bee silently accepted the fox tail; the only use he could think of was as a scarf.

After thinking for a moment, not wanting to waste his younger brother's good intentions, Killer Bee wrapped his fox tail around his neck and gave a metal salute: "V—"

"Idiot, this is for saving lives!"

The Eight-Tails punched Killer Bee on the head: "This tail contains more chakra than I do. If a tailed beast separates from its jinchūriki, this thing can ensure that the person's life force will not be lost as the tailed beast leaves the body."

"Even I wouldn't waste so much chakra. Seal it well; it could save your life in a critical moment."

"Is it that valuable? No wonder it's my little brother! I'm so touched, bro!"

"I didn't quite understand what you were saying, but Kurama just said your Tailed Beast Mode will disappear, right?"

Killer Bee clenched his fist, tears streaming down his face behind his sunglasses: "Yosh, it's decided! I'm going to teach you the strongest secret technique of Cloud Village taijutsu: Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Ever heard of it?"

"Child of the Yellow Flash and the ultimate technique of Blue Lightning, you will be the fastest ninja in the world! V—"
