Baiye saw the situation.
He nodded to Izumi.
She immediately activated her three-tomoe Sharingan.
She sent Baiye and Naruto directly into the inner world.
In an instant, the two of them arrived in a dark sewer.
"This place?"
Naruto looked at the surroundings. He suddenly found the environment strangely familiar.
It felt as if a voice was constantly calling him to come forward.
Following his intuition, the two of them soon arrived before a massive iron gate.
Inside the iron gate, a giant fiery red fox entered their sight.
"Brat..."
"Come. Tear off the seal on this gate!"
"If you tear off the seal, I can give you the power to destroy everything!"
"You can kill all those people who once humiliated and bullied you!"
The tempting words continuously assaulted Naruto.
Naruto lost his mind instantly. His eyes turned crimson as he slowly walked forward.
However, these words had no effect on Baiye.
Baiye looked at the state Naruto was in. He felt helpless and threw a punch.
*Bang!*
"Ouch!" "Why did you hit me, Big Brother Baiye?"
Naruto rubbed the large bump on his head. He looked aggrieved.
Baiye did not even look at Naruto. He walked directly to the iron gate.
The Nine-Tails was extremely dissatisfied that Baiye had ruined its plan.
It was about to explode with rage.
Then it saw Baiye standing before the gate.
It assumed Baiye was going to tear off the seal. It felt a sudden surge of joy.
"Brat, hurry!"
"Tear off the seal! I will give you power!"
"Unparalleled power!"
Baiye listened to the bait from the Nine-Tails. He could not help but laugh.
"Pfft!"
"You were sealed by a mere ninja. What kind of power can you give me?"
These words made the Nine-Tails explode with anger.
It wanted to tear the arrogant Baiye into pieces immediately.
Its two claws struck the iron gate repeatedly. The metal clanged loudly.
"Damned brat!!!"
"If you have the courage, let me out! I will definitely tear you to shreds!!!"
"Oh? Then I am coming in. You can see if you are able to tear me apart."
Before the Nine-Tails could finish its threat, the figure of Baiye appeared directly in front of it.
This sudden scene caused the Nine-Tails to freeze on the spot.
However, it was the strongest tailed beast.
Once it reacted, the Nine-Tails felt a wave of delight.
"You are looking for death!"
As it spoke, a claw swept toward Baiye.
*Boom!!!*
The terrifying power caused the entire sealed space to shake.
The water on the ground surged in all directions like a tsunami.
"Tsk. As expected of the Nine-Tails."

Chapter 10: Is Your Name the Nine-Tails?
"Tsk. As expected of the Nine-Tails."
A voice suddenly came from beneath the massive claw of the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails had been preparing to continue tempting Naruto. It froze in place.
"How is this possible!!"
"A mere human!"
The Nine-Tails felt a massive force coming from beneath its palm. It could not help but cry out in shock.
It was the Nine-Tails.
It was the tailed beast with the greatest strength.
It had struck with a full-power claw. The human in front of it actually managed to block it with his physical body.
This was far too terrifying.
"Damn it! To think such a thing could happen!"
"Die!!!"
The Nine-Tails saw its sharp claws being pushed up by Baiye.
It exerted its strength again. It pressed its claws down with even more force.
It was the dignified strongest tailed beast. It could not possibly lose to a human.
However, the Nine-Tails continued to increase its power.
It discovered that its claw could not press down even a single inch.
This scene stunned Naruto, who was standing outside the iron cage.
"Big Brother Baiye... is so strong!"
He originally thought Baiye was strong enough for defeating the arrogant Sasuke.
He did not expect Baiye could actually hold back this giant fox.
He had been worried that Baiye would get hurt. It seemed he had overthought the situation.
Baiye felt the strength of the Nine-Tails. He now had a better understanding of his current power.
He had not truly tested his strength since merging with the Homelander Template.
After all, his fusion progress had only reached thirty percent.
[Host: Sarutobi Baiye]
[Age: 10]
[Ninjutsu: None]
[Taijutsu: None]
[Genjutsu: None]
[Bloodline: None]
[Template: Homelander Template]
[Fusion Level: 30%]
[Unlocked Skills: Super Defense, Super Strength, Super Speed]
[Next Template: Superman (Man of Steel)]
He intended to test the upper limits of his unlocked abilities.
It appeared that his Super Strength was currently on par with the Nine-Tails.
He was not yet as strong as the true Superman.
However, once he reached one hundred percent fusion with the Homelander Template, he could unlock the abilities of Superman.
At that time, his Super Strength would increase again.
At his peak, he would possess the Super Strength to easily pull multiple planets and escape the gravitational pull of a black hole!
Now that he had a point of reference, he was satisfied.
