"By the way, Sakura," Itachi Uchiha suddenly asked, "I ran into the Four-Tails' Jinchuriki yesterday on a mission. I took a bit of its chakra. Would you like it?"
"A piece of the Four-Tails' chakra? Brother Itachi, link your chakra with it, and I'll draw the Four-Tails' chakra into our Inner Space using yours!"
Thinking about the Four-Tails — a giant gorilla with four tails — Sakura mused while rubbing her chin. Though the name 'Son Goku' itself was a bit irritating.
"Fine."
Itachi closed his eyes. Soon, everyone could see a layer of crimson chakra being pulled into the Inner Space along his body.
"Huh? Where is this place?" A massive gorilla appeared in the Inner Space. When it saw the Two-Tails Matatabi, Three-Tails Isobu, Eight-Tails Gyuki, and Nine-Tails Kurama resting nearby, it froze instantly. "How come you guys are here? And you — that damn Uchiha clansman — why are you here too?"
"You *are* Son Goku, the Four-Tails, right?" Sakura clenched her fists, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Little girl, what do ya want? What's the big honor of bein' summoned by you?" The Four-Tails asked casually. Hearing this, Kurama and the others instinctively backed away a few steps. From Sakura's tone, it seemed like this Four-Tails might be in trouble soon.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to confirm whether your name is indeed Son Goku," Sakura replied in a calm voice, signaling to Naruto and the others in the room to step back.
"Why do you know my name?" The Four-Tails widened its eyes. The Uchiha clansman was completely forgotten. That name should only be known by the Sage of Six Paths!
"You don't need to worry about that for now. I just wanted to confirm your name!"
Sakura twisted her neck and asked, "Come to think of it, have you ever considered changing your name?"
"Hmph, little girl, just because I'm nice to you, don't push your luck. I, Four-Tails Son Goku, will *never* change my name — not in this lifetime!"
The Four-Tails snorted coldly and slapped the ground beside Sakura. The tremendous force caused the ground to tremble. "Although I don't know where this place is or why I appeared here, human little girl, remember that I'm a Tailed Beast! You'd better not provoke me recklessly!"
"Oh, so it seems you're determined not to cooperate," Sakura nodded as if she understood the Four-Tails' meaning. "In that case, I guess I'll have to reach an agreement with you first before we talk about changing your name."
"Heh, you humans really think you're tough, huh?" The Four-Tails sneered with its gorilla face, teeth bared in a menacing expression. "Do ya think I can't just swallow you whole right now?"
Kurama, Gyuki, and the others gasped in shock, staring at their utterly fearless companion. How on earth did she have the guts to say that?
"You're sure you can swallow me whole?" Sakura raised an eyebrow, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "You call yourself a monkey and still think you can swallow me whole?!"
"ROAR! Human girl, did you just call me a little monkey?" Four-Tails roared furiously, its entire body seemingly bursting into flames.
"You, of course," Sakura replied calmly, unfazed by the beast's blazing fury. "You're not even a little monkey—you're more like a little gorilla!"
"Human girl, you've truly angered me!" Four-Tails' voice turned icy cold as threads of Lava Release chakra began emanating from its body. "Today, I'll show you just how terrifying the power of a Tailed Beast can be!"
"Is that so?"
A disdainful smirk curled on Sakura's lips. "With such tremendous power combined with your Lava Release chakra, you're indeed among the stronger Tailed Beasts. However, this world holds more than just powerful beings like you, little gorilla. Allow me to teach you a lesson today—there's always someone stronger, and the world is vast. Arrogance without cause will eventually cost you dearly!"
As she spoke, Sakura swiftly formed hand seals, and a massive surge of chakra erupted from within her.
Chapter 165: I, Four-Tails, Will Never Change My Name—How Could I Say Such a Thing? [Lower]
"You're asking for death, human girl!"
Roaring furiously, Four-Tails opened its mouth and spat out several balls of lava in rapid succession. The superheated projectiles radiated intense heat; wherever they passed, grass and leaves withered and curled from the temperature.
[Wood Release: Creation of All Things]!
Countless thick trees shot up from the earth. The lava balls crashed against the tree trunks, igniting them upon contact. Yet living wood was difficult to burn to begin with, and infused with Sakura's chakra, it devoured the lava in an instant.
"This is Wood Release? Impossible!"
Shock and disbelief filled Four-Tails' eyes. To Tailed Beasts, the Wood Release and the Sharingan were memories steeped in humiliation—an era of domination forever etched into their minds.
"There's nothing impossible in this world."
Sakura smirked. With a flick of her will, countless trees whipped toward Four-Tails like raging serpents.
"Cursed Wood Release! Lava Release: Chakra Mode!"
Letting out a furious roar, Four-Tails wasted no time thinking. A layer of magma-like chakra immediately enveloped its body.
"You think you can counter Forest Reformation just by covering yourself in Lava Release chakra? How naive! Wood Dragon Technique!"
Unmoved, Sakura scoffed as she pressed her hands together. A gigantic wooden dragon surged from beneath the earth and rapidly coiled around Four-Tails, swallowing the scorching lava chakra completely—inflicting no damage whatsoever.
"ROAR! Let go of me!"
Four-Tails howled in pain, clawing at the wooden dragon with both hands, trying desperately to tear it apart.
"Let you go? Sure thing—just change your name first!" Sakura remained unmoved, tightening the grip of the wooden dragon further. "You'd better behave, or don't blame me for getting rougher!"
