87 Naruko POV - Part 1, Running.

Every moment Naruko's senses reached farther and farther as she tore through the land at top speed. Chakra leaked out of her pores cracking the ground with every step she shook, yet her eyes simply stared forward. 'Faster.'  Her thoughts did not race, but instead, there was simple determination. She had to be faster, so she went faster, and faster, and faster. Every moment her speed rose, and with it so did her chakra. At some point, her eyes turned red and slitted, and as time passed she slowly gained a red cloak around her, and then one tail, two, three, and then four. Faster and faster she tore through the northern part of Fire Country. 'Kurama! Prepare yourself.' 'Mphm. You humans, always need numbers, surprise attacks, and tricks. I'm always ready to fight.' 

Naruko didn't comment on the darkness and hatred that surged forward with his words, and instead simply continued to rush forward towards Takigakure, before as her chakra surged even higher - as if she had unlimited reserve she could constantly grow and grab from, Naruko's senses stretched far enough. 'Kurama! Purify as much Chakra as you can and link it with me.' Following her words and piggybacking on her senses a feral growl was barely heard throughout her head. 'On it.'  

The red chakra cloak receded revealing regular Naruko, before golden sparks appeared all across Narukos body, before disappearing. All across her body golden chakra would consume her, before flickering back out of existence, as if it were unstable. 'Oy! Now is not the time to have performance anxiety, y'know?!?' 'Shut up! I'm doing something!' With that roar that erupted from Kurama, the chakra that was flickering in and out of existence exploded, and all of a sudden Naruko found herself floating in mid-air as a titanic chakra construct lifted her. 'Keep going while I stabilize this!' 

Naruko felt her mind expand. Her entire body was connected to this gigantic blob of a chakra avatar - each of its nine blobby tails, and the almost slug-like body that didn't even have legs. 'Blaim the seal! I'm working on the legs.'  An eyebrow that was seemingly made out of golden chakra with hints of a dark red at the edge rose on Naruko's face before she shook her head and continued to surge forward, yet, even to her eyes it seemed like she was a mere blur. 'How much faster?!?' The difference was absurd - perhaps, only now, did she realize that sheer difference in speed Naruto had first felt when he entered KCM form first. 'Mhpm. Now you realize how much this seal is holding back my Chakra. Tch. Now hold on, legs will be coming soon!' 

Indeed, he was right, as a moment later this amorphous slime-chakra-fox gained four legs, and a second later they were in motion as she rapidly ran across the ground tearing through and even slurping around trees when necessary. 'Alright! Now run! All I can do is run and hope I get there in time!' 

Inside the seal titanic tails thwapped against the bars, the water level inside slowly rising as the titanic fox's eyes showed intense concentration. Chakra slowly leaked from his form, red, nearly black in color, before as it reached the bars it would slowly turn golden, with only a hint of dark red at the edge of chakra that seeped out of the seal, almost as if it was a flickering flame that refused to go out.

 "Damn seal. Tch, no matter if it's Chomei in trouble, I don't truly feel enough panic to circumvent these binds even more. The seal isn't loose enough to use a true merge, and my conviction isn't high enough to do that half-merge we did against the Otsutsuki. After all, it's not like Chomei is in true trouble." His titanic head shook, a heavy sigh escaping from Kurama. "This is the best I can do Chomei. Feel lucky, if it was the others I would have just ignored them. After all... it's just these vile humans doing what they always do."

His eyes closed, chakra still seeping out of him as he instead focused on purifying it, separating his nigh-infinite malice and hatred away from what made up his very essence, before sending it through the seal.
