Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

After all, Ashura is the son of the Sage of Six Paths, and Kurama was also created by the Sage of Six Paths. In a sense, Kurama and Ashura can be considered brothers.

Kurama shook his head: "It's just chakra. Besides, if we can end their thousands of years of fighting in this way, it's not bad."

"Perhaps many wars in your human history were fought by the reincarnations of Asura and Indra."

Seeing that Kurama had no objections, Naruto had no more worries.

"System, what should we do?"

Further research is needed; currently, it can only be speculated that it is related to the chakra of the tailed beasts.

"Is that so? Then it seems I need to find an opportunity to meet all the tailed beasts. Let's start with Shukaku for now."

It was precisely for the reasons mentioned above that Naruto proposed to study the One-Tailed Beast.

Now he and Gaara have arrived at a laboratory outside Sunagakure, which was lent to him by the Sunagakure leadership. Naruto requested to be here, naturally to prevent Shukaku's excessive size from harming the Sunagakure villagers.

"Naruto, what do you need me to do? If it involves drawing blood, it might be a bit troublesome because my sand automatically protects me whenever I get injured, ever since I was little."

Gaara followed behind Naruto, curiously examining the laboratory equipment.

I have to say, I never realized Naruto was so good at research.

"There's no need to worry about that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto swiftly cut Gaara's index fingertip, took a small amount of blood, and stored it in a suitable container.

With Gaara's regenerative abilities, this small wound healed quickly on its own.

"Anything else you need my cooperation with, please let me know."

Naruto then took Gaara outside.

"I need you to bring Shukaku out so I can study his chakra."

Gaara hesitated upon hearing this: "This... might frighten the villagers, right?"

"Don't worry, nothing will really happen as long as I'm here. Besides, you've been appearing in front of the villagers more often in the form of Shukaku lately, so they've gotten used to it, and their fear of you will lessen as a result."

After hearing this, Gaara no longer hesitated.

"Okay, come on."

After receiving Naruto's assurance, Gaara no longer had any worries, since Naruto had already proven during the Chunin Exams that he could easily subdue Shukaku.

Gaara immediately used a sleep technique to put himself into a deep sleep.

With this action, a large amount of sand immediately appeared around Gaara's body, surrounding him and forming a round sand ball.

Soon two huge hands emerged from the sand sphere, opening it up, and a fat yellow raccoon emerged from it.

"This great one..."

Before he could even utter the words "He's out again," Shukaku caught sight of Naruto's enigmatic smile in front of him and immediately tried to burrow back into the sand sphere.

"Something's not right. I must have gotten out of here incorrectly."

However, Naruto conjured a large golden hand, grabbed Shukaku by the back of the neck, and lifted him up in front of him like a kitten.

"I haven't finished my business yet, and you're already thinking about going back?"

Shukaku immediately bent down and lay prostrate on the ground: "What are your orders?"

"I want you to help me practice!"

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

"I need your chakra."

After saying that, Naruto was about to extract Shukaku's chakra.

Just then, several high-ranking members of Sunagakure heard that Shukaku had escaped and quickly led their men to surround him.

The high-ranking officials of Sunagakure were all on high alert, considering the terrifying power contained within Shukaku.

"Lord Hokage, what's going on? How did Shukaku get out?"

"If we want to conduct research, shouldn't we bring him out?"

The Sand Village officials were stunned when they heard this, because they found that Shukaku was indeed lying in front of Naruto like a well-behaved cat, a scene that left them speechless.

Is this still the terrifying Shukaku?

One of the main reasons they agreed to let Naruto study Shukaku was that they didn't know what to do if Shukaku escaped. In the past, it was only thanks to the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai that it was suppressed.

In the eyes of the Sunagakure leadership, Naruto, as Hokage, should possess strength comparable to the Fourth Kazekage. Moreover, they had heard that the Uzumaki clan was skilled in sealing techniques, so there shouldn't be any problem. In fact, what they most wanted to see was Naruto and Shukaku both suffering heavy losses.

But what are they seeing now? It's true that Shukaku was suppressed by Naruto, but Naruto didn't use any ninjutsu; he suppressed it with just his aura!

How much fear must have been inflicted on Shukaku to warrant such a move?

"Everyone, go about your business. I still have experiments to do, so don't bother me." Naruto waved to the Sunagakure leaders.

The high-ranking officials of Sunagakure exchanged glances and could only retreat.

After all, it's hard to say whether they could even defeat Shukaku combined, let alone Naruto, who is much stronger than Shukaku.

"Sigh, I have a feeling we've found a troublesome guy for Sunagakure." A high-ranking Sunagakure official said worriedly.

"It's okay, he'll only be staying for two months."

"What if he still refuses to leave when the time comes?"

"This……"

On the other side, Naruto thought for a moment and then created a shadow clone.

The appearance of Shukaku will inevitably cause panic, especially among ordinary Sunagakure villagers.

The purpose of this shadow clone is to maintain order and prevent major chaos.

However, it is impossible to completely dispel the villagers' fear of the cranes just like that; the stereotypes left over from the past are not so easy to erase.

But just as Naruto said to Gaara, over time, and since nothing really happened, people got used to it.

Naruto looked at Shukaku and stroked his chin.

"My lord, how do you require my cooperation?" Shukaku asked tremblingly.

"Just don't move. I'm just trying to figure out which part of your body I should remove."

!!!

Shukaku was dumbfounded. He immediately thought of the "human experiments" he had heard about from humans before.

Seeing that Naruto seemed to have made a decision and was walking towards him, Shukaku couldn't help but feel anxious and fearful.

What should I do? He's going to dissect me!

Just as Shukaku was about to fight to the death, Naruto only managed to take off a small tip of Shukaku's tail.

Shukaku's tail is pine cone-shaped and divided into many, many pieces, with each tail tip being equivalent to the chakra of a Tailed Beast Ball.

Seeing that Naruto didn't intend to dissect himself further, Shukaku finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he wasn't as extreme as other humans.

Of the chakra taken from Shukaku, some was absorbed by Naruto and analyzed by the system, while the rest was used to experiment on how it differed from other chakra.

The chakra of the tailed beasts seems to be different for each one; for example, Kurama's chakra is characterized by its large quantity.

Shukaku's chakra is better suited for manipulating sand and using sealing techniques.

"You could try this trick..."

Desert layer burial seal!

A large amount of sand and gravel gathered together under Naruto's influence, forming a small pyramid.

As a master of sealing techniques, Naruto could naturally see its extraordinary nature. This technique not only possesses powerful sealing force, but can also be combined with chakra to launch a squeezing attack that kills the sealed enemy.

However, Naruto was actually more concerned about something else at that moment.

"As expected, the chakra in Gaara's gourd does not belong to Shukaku."

After figuring this out, Naruto told Shukaku to go back, saying he wanted to talk to Gaara.

Gaara awoke from his slumber and looked at Naruto. His first concern was whether he had been of any help.

"Naruto, is the experiment going well?"

"Well, that concludes today's experiment, but I have something to tell you."

Seeing the confusion in Gaara's eyes, Naruto was once again certain that the other was unaware of the situation.

"Do you know whose chakra is contained in the sand you've been protecting?"

Gaara was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Isn't it Shukaku? He was worried that if the Jinchuriki died, he would die too, so he protected me."

“No.” Naruto shook his head.

"What protects you is the chakra of your father or mother."

Upon hearing this, Gaara's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Based on Gaara's understanding of his father Rasa, he would never do such a thing. It's more likely that he would allow Shukaku to attack Gaara to test his resilience.

If that's the case... then that's the mother?

"My mother will protect me? Why?"

"Why else could it be? Because she loves you."

Before he knew it, tears were streaming down Gaara's face.

"My mother...she loves me?"

Gaara doesn't know how to describe this feeling.

He had never seen his mother since birth, and his impression of her came only from other people's accounts. Moreover, this image of his mother went through a transformation from "loving him" to "hating him".

At first, my uncle Yashamaru told Gaara that Shukaku was a creature that existed to attack, but the sand would automatically protect Gaara because it contained the love of Gaara's mother.

However, Yashamaru was once ordered by Rasa to assassinate him, and at that time he personally contradicted his previous statement, saying that the name Gaara meant "a demon who only loves himself".
