Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

The two tailed beasts exchanged sarcastic remarks through their unique channel.

Chapter 172 Death God or Hollow, Shukaku

"You raccoon, you're like a sand monster. I'll unleash a Tailed Beast Cannon and make you spew out all your foul language."

Naruto looked helpless as he listened to Kurama's incessant taunts.

Ever since Nine-Tails came into contact with something called rap a month ago, he has become quite neurotic.

Besides playing games, he spends his time in the sealed space constantly reciting lyrics.

Weird.

"Bastard! Scoundrel! You stinking fox!" Shukaku was furious, but he could only repeat the same few curse words over and over again.

On the contrary, Nine-Tailed Fox cursed almost without repeating herself in a few minutes.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

After Kurama and Shukaku finished their verbal battle, Naruto slowly handed the potion to Gaara.

"Shukaku, after Gaara drinks the potion, you must absorb it with all your might."

"Hmph, no big deal, I'll eat it all up. Wait, is this potion reliable?" Shukaku suddenly realized something and said somewhat uneasily.

“Of course it’s reliable. This medicine was developed by Orochimaru, the number one scientist in the ninja world,” Naruto replied gently.

"If it's so powerful, why doesn't that stinky fox Kurama eat it?" Shukaku asked, puzzled.

"Hiss, this tanuki isn't completely hopeless after all," Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but mutter.

"Because I promised you I would free you from the seal as soon as possible," Naruto replied calmly.

“I’ve always been a person of my word, so I sent the first vial of the potion to you as soon as it was successfully developed. Nine-Tails wanted it, but I refused.”

"Damn it!"

!I want!

"You stinky raccoon, don't give it to me!" The nine-tailed fox's eyes darted around, and it immediately roared angrily.

The two, one human and one fox, worked together seamlessly, immediately dispelling Shouhe's suspicions.

"Hehehe, you stinky fox, I've taken the lead this time." He smugly made Arara drink the potion.

The first taste is an unbearable fishy stench, mixed with the texture of various muscle tissues, and the texture is bizarre.

Gaara frowned as he finished drinking, and a warm feeling immediately spread through his lower abdomen, followed by a powerful spiritual pressure.

Under Naruto's command, Shukaku within him immediately absorbed all the spiritual pressure.

There can't be any spiritual pressure left behind, otherwise it will affect Gaara's physical body.

Shukaku dared not slack off and absorbed the spiritual pressure with all his might.

As he absorbed the nutrients, he noticed a slight change in his own body.

Originally, he was composed of chakra, but after spiritual pressure was added, his body felt as if it were being bathed in flames, and he experienced a burning pain.

Naruto watched Shukaku's transformation quietly, his eyes gleaming.

This is a tailed beast experiment, and the outcome is crucial.

If successful, he will gain a Shinigami with the power of a Tailed Beast.

If he fails, he may need to stop the rampaging Shukaku, and even Gaara may die from the drug.

Since this was the first vial of medicine created by Orochimaru, the uncertainty was too high, and Naruto would never use it on himself.

Yawen Bar

Gaara never imagined that the person he considered a trustworthy kin would only see him as an experiment.

"Gurgle, gurgle." At this moment, Shukaku inside Gaara made a strange sound, and his figure separated from Gaara and appeared in front of everyone.

Then, billowing white mist gushed out from Shukaku's mouth, spreading all over its body like an army of parasites.

Seeing this, Naruto's eyes darkened.

This is a sign of becoming ethereal.

"Naruto, will Shukaku turn into a Hollow?" The Nine-Tails inside him asked with a serious expression.

"That feels so good!"

I feel great!

"!" Shukaku let out a joyful roar from within the white mist.

"So much power!"

An endless source of power!

"

"Crack." With the sound of chains moving, the white mist around Shukaku's body gradually solidified. The chains pierced through his chest, and the flesh and blood in his chest disappeared, gradually revealing a deep black hole.

Shukaku gradually transformed into a humanoid form that was less than 1 meters tall.

He wore a tan robe resembling that of a death god, yellow wooden clogs, and sported a neat head of yellow spiky hair, looking like a spoiled brat.

"Is it a Shinigami? No, a Hollow? It doesn't seem to have lost its mind." Naruto frowned, staring intently at Shukaku.

Shukaku, now transformed into a cute little boy, had a completely relaxed expression on his face.

With abundant chakra within his body, Shukaku's oppressive aura continued to rise after the addition of spiritual pressure.

Gaara took a step back in shock, and sand from the sand gourd behind him instinctively surged out, surrounding him and protecting him.

Gaara's sand inherited his mother's consciousness and will continue to protect him.

"Hiss, how come Shukaku seems to have suddenly become much stronger?" The Nine-Tails in the seal gasped and muttered.

However, even though Shukaku has become stronger, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) still doesn't take it seriously.

"This Shinigami transformation looks pretty good. It can even transform into human form, so it should be easier to operate on a computer," Kurama mused.

at this time.

The billowing white mist had not yet dissipated, and gradually condensed into half of a hollow bone mask on Shukaku's face.

From behind the mask came Shukaku's childish voice: "Hehehe!"

I have gained new power!

"Hey kid, am I a Shinigami now?" Shukaku said smugly, hands on his hips.

“My connection with Shukaku has also been severed,” Gaara said, standing to the side in a daze.

Shukaku has remained within the seal for the past ten years or so.

In a way, Shukaku was someone who accompanied him as he grew up.

Now, Shukaku has gained its freedom.

While Gaara was happy for him, he was also very disappointed and worried.

Losing Shukaku is equivalent to losing a Kage-level ninja, which is a significant weakening for the Sand Village.

"You're... an Arrancar!" Naruto stared blankly at the young Shukaku, and exclaimed in astonishment.

Similar to the Hollowfication of Shinigami, Hollows can also possess the energy of Shinigami transformation.

Then break the mask.

When the Hollows evolve into Adjuchas, they will have human forms and bone masks on their faces.

When they break the mask, they will gain the power of death.

Like the Grim Reapers, they will possess their own Zanpakuto.

Shukaku is an Arrancar.

"Arrancar? What's that?" Gaara and the others looked puzzled upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

After Naruto's explanation, Shukaku became very excited.

"Wahahaha!"

"I've actually reached the highest level of Hollow! You stinky fox, come out and fight me if you dare!" Shukaku began to boast smugly.

But he also knew in his heart that he was still unable to defeat the Nine-Tails.

After Shukaku evolved into an Arrancar, his whereabouts became a problem.

Naruto then suggested that Shukaku go to the Sound Village where Orochimaru was located.

Originally, I thought everything would go smoothly, but I didn't expect Shukaku to snort coldly with an unwilling look on his face: "Hmph, brat, although you helped me get my freedom, I won't listen to you!"

I'm free now; I can go wherever I want!

Despite saying that, his eyes kept glancing at Gaara, clearly indicating that he was thinking something different.

"I see. It seems you two have formed a bond." Naruto smiled slightly upon seeing this.

"Then you should stay in Sunagakure. I believe Gaara can resolve your identity issue, and with you here, Gaara's safety will be guaranteed."

Naruto turned to leave, when he heard Shukaku's annoyed, childlike voice behind him:

"Hey, you brat, what nonsense are you spouting? This is not what I think!"

"

Chapter 173 Shukaku Makes His Move, Uprising

After returning to Otogakure, Naruto handed over all the data and information he had gathered to Orochimaru.

Shukaku is the first Arrancar in history to be transformed through a potion.

He skipped the process of evolving from a Gillian to an Adjuchas and became an Arrancar with both Shinigami and Hollow energy.

His strength has surpassed that of ordinary Shinigami and Hollows.

Naruto originally intended to stay for a few more days to observe Shukaku's condition.
