Even Killingham, after pulling out the "Calamity Nine-Tails" from Naruto's "nightmare," couldn't help but start panting. You could tell that this use of his ability had suddenly increased his burden tremendously.
It was even more exaggerated than when he had previously created that tide-like horde of nightmare beasts.
"Is that so... how very interesting."
But Killingham's face showed no signs of tension. On the contrary, after sensing that black nine-tailed fox that seemed like the incarnation of despair, he looked excited.
Unlike the nightmare creatures from Celestial Dragons or ordinary soldiers.
The pulled-out nightmare Nine-Tails was wreathed in countless grudges.
It seemed as if many people's despair and suffering had been added to it, causing this nightmare Nine-Tails to gain some kind of wonderful special properties.
On the other side, Naruto also met the Nine-Tails again in his mental space.
Perhaps because he had heard from Naruto's mouth about what these guys who called themselves "descendants of gods" had actually done, things that outraged both humans and gods, even Kurama felt somewhat empathetic.
Or perhaps it was for some other reason.
This time there wasn't that tense atmosphere between them like before.
Naruto slowly placed his hand over the bars symbolizing the seal.
He didn't even need to actually do anything. Just a thought, and the chains originally wrapped around Kurama disappeared. Then layer upon layer of gates appeared out of thin air, as if they had always been there and Naruto had simply never noticed them.
This change manifested in reality as dark red tailed beast chakra rapidly surging out from Naruto's body, with two long tails growing from his tailbone.
Even his eyes instantly turned crimson red.
Casually punching Akainu away again, then the red chakra tail became a giant hand and grabbed him.
While controlling the chakra giant hand to use various martial arts to beat Akainu around in mid-air, Naruto's main body also touched his chin.
"Quite interesting."
So this was the Nine-Tails' power?
Although it was only a portion, it had indeed genuinely enhanced his own strength, speed, and even reaction ability.
It also gave him the convenient ability of the tailed beast cloak.
This made Naruto's physique take another step toward "inhuman" levels.
Although he looked like he was burning all over, Naruto's consciousness remained very clear.
Because he was connected to the Nine-Tails to some degree, he could feel some of the Nine-Tails' past experiences.
Being seen as a calamity, as ominous and threatening, and even being used as a tool of destruction.
Others' hatred mixed with his own hatred was enough to destroy anyone with an unsteady mind.
Fortunately, this wasn't much for the Great Hero.
He could continue.
In the mental world, Naruto simply applied force with his palm, continuously opening the gates that had appeared before him, until he stopped at the last layer, where a paper tag representing the "Eight Trigrams Seal" was pasted.
At this point, the tailed beast cloak on his body no longer appeared "semi-transparent" like before.
Red and black chakra was substantial, completely obscuring Naruto's face.
A fox-like skeleton was also constructed on the outside of his body surface, with seven tails constantly swishing back and forth, emanating an ominous aura.
"That's about enough. Going further would be somewhat out of control."
In this state, Naruto could already feel intense hatred affecting his consciousness.
If he completely tore away that layer of sealing, perhaps the Nine-Tails really could replace him and control this body?
Regarding Naruto's operation, Kurama said nothing and didn't plan to reveal information about "perfect jinchūriki."
This is enough. That crude imitator who dared to mimic me, experience the power of Lord Kurama!
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Naruto clones who had been trading blows with the God's Knights members were all instantly covered by Nine-Tails chakra.
Their already terrifying physical capabilities instantly jumped up a notch. The direct manifestation was that several people including Shamrock were all suppressed.
The Naruto clone in front of Killingham, after sensing the Nine-Tails chakra connection, seemed to have received some kind of message.
"He asked me to give you a message."
A voice like several different tones mixed together rang out.
"This is the Nine-Tails!"
Compared to the nightmare Nine-Tails that was only a black silhouette, Naruto's current image was closer to a fox.
You're a fox, I'm more fox than you!
After these words fell, Naruto instantly disappeared from his position.
Then he appeared at the giant nightmare Nine-Tails' head.
"Roar!"
The nightmare Nine-Tails didn't seem to possess the attribute of "chakra," but it had absorbed other qualities from despair and hatred.
After its roar rang out, whispers full of resentment from countless people suddenly appeared in Naruto's ears.
"So noisy!"
The tailed beast cloak wrapped around Naruto's arm, instantly forming a giant claw that directly tore apart half of the nightmare Nine-Tails' face.
Then he turned and swung his tail, deflecting Killingham's sneak-attacking trident.
Compared to the nightmare Nine-Tails' hundred-meter stature, Naruto at "only" about ten meters now seemed somewhat miniature.
But in actual combat, whether in speed or strength, there was quite a gap between the two sides.
Roar!
Seven tails transformed into claws, tearing the black mist-like nightmare Nine-Tails' body to shreds in various places.
"Useless! You have no idea how vast this fear and despair really is!"
Killingham let out maniacal laughter.
But Kurama, possessing Naruto, suddenly realized something at that moment.
This nightmare Nine-Tails wasn't entirely from Naruto's nightmare.
After all, during the Nine-Tails incident, he had just been a baby.
Part of the nightmare Nine-Tails also came from Kurama himself.
From his unwillingness, anger at being controlled, and despair at not being understood.
Bastard! Who are you looking down on!
Kurama roared silently in his heart, then suddenly said in Naruto's mind:
"Leave it to me!"
Naruto, who further sensed the other's feelings due to the Nine-Tails transformation, said nothing and directly transferred partial control of his body to Kurama.
Then his body suddenly crouched down, and he opened his mouth wide.
A chakra ball tainted with the aura of destruction silently appeared in front of Naruto.
Tailed Beast Ball.
Yang-attribute chakra and Yin-attribute chakra are compressed and mixed in a 2:8 ratio, then combined with shape transformation to form a high-density energy sphere.
The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze had gained inspiration from this to create the Rasengan, that no-seal ninjutsu.
Because this Naruto clone also possessed terrifyingly large chakra reserves, this Tailed Beast Ball was even larger than the Nine-Tails had originally planned.
But this was even better.
Killingham didn't know what this technique was, but that didn't prevent him from clearly sensing that terrifying destructive threat.
He didn't even have time to control the nightmare Nine-Tails before transforming into a phantom and disappearing from his position.
BOOM!!
The Tailed Beast Ball pierced through the air, almost instantly erasing everything it touched.
This wasn't the end.
After hitting the giant nightmare Nine-Tails, the Tailed Beast Ball immediately exploded, with an explosion range exceeding a hundred meters and still expanding.
Even a mushroom cloud slowly formed above.
