Chapter 9 : Garaga

Might Guy and Kakashi arrived at a dense forest in Konoha.

At that moment, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were practicing there.

"Naruto, come here!" Kakashi shouted.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto approached, already aware of the situation.

After all, Might Guy's conversation with his father, the Fourth Hokage, had been clear to him.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails sensed the arrival of Might Guy and Kakashi and roared within Naruto's inner world.

[Nine-Tails: @MightGuy, are you really going to put the beast control seal on me? ]

[Nine-Tails: Minato, I implore you, I am willing to cooperate with your son's training, please don't seal me! ]

However, Nine-Tails' pleas went unanswered.

It panicked!

Truly panicked!

The seal of the Nine-Tails was mysterious, and the beast control seal was likely terrifying. It was afraid it couldn't bear it.

If it hadn't been sealed, it could resist, but now, it was trapped inside Naruto's body.

"Guy, bring out the beast control seal," Kakashi instructed.

Might Guy handed over the beast control seal to Kakashi.

"Sasuke, Sakura, step back!" Kakashi ordered.

Sakura and Sasuke, now aware of the Nine-Tails sealed within Naruto, obediently retreated to a safe distance.

Kakashi then touched Naruto's seal with one hand and partially released it.

Boom! ! ! ! !

The Nine-Tails' power began to dissipate, and Naruto's consciousness started to be influenced by the formidable aura of the Nine-Tails, distorting his expression.

One tail!

Two tails!

Three tails!

Tails emerged from Naruto's body until he reached a state of seven tails, terrifying Sasuke and Sakura in the distance.

"This Naruto has such a terrifying power hidden within him!" Sakura shivered, witnessing the horror of the Nine-Tails for the first time.

Sasuke was also taken aback. Even in this state, Naruto would be unbeatable, even with his strength increased tenfold.

At that moment, Nine-Tails struggled to break free from the seal and escape, but Kakashi denied it the chance.

"Beast control seal, go!" The fiery red seal transformed into a red light, wrapping around Nine-Tails' neck. The seal then delved deep into Nine-Tails' soul, leaving a mark between its eyebrows.

The beast control seal reappeared, Nine-Tails' energy returned to its sealed space, and Naruto regained consciousness.

Naruto took hold of the beast control seal and, guided by Might Guy, bonded it with his blood. Now, Naruto could control the Nine-Tails through the seal.

In the sealed space of the Nine-Tails,

Nine-Tails angrily shouted, "You guys, once I'm out of here, I will destroy you."

"Nine-Tails, you better behave. Haha, I'm your true master now, and you have to obey me!" Naruto's consciousness appeared in the sealed space, speaking triumphantly.

"Ugh, you little brat, why should I listen to you!" Nine-Tails cursed.

"Kneel down!" Naruto ordered.

Boom! ! !

Nine-Tails' massive form collapsed to the ground.

"How is this possible..." Nine-Tails was dumbfounded, realizing that a Genin could make it kneel with a single command.

It soon understood that it was the power of the beast control seal.

"Nine-Tails, to be honest, the beast control seal lets me issue any command, even making you harm yourself," Naruto stated.

"Shuush!" One of Nine-Tails' tails transformed into a drill and forcefully pierced itself.

"What!!!" Nine-Tails screamed in agony.

"Ah, I just said I can order you can harm yourself, that wasn't an order!" Naruto was bewildered.

Nine-Tails repeated the action.

"Please, stop saying that!" Nine-Tails begged.

Naruto understood that the power of the beast control seal was indeed formidable but somewhat absurd.

"Will you cooperate with me in the future?" Naruto asked.

"Okay, from now on, you're the boss!" Nine-Tails conceded.

"Alright, as long as you promise to cooperate, I won't misuse the beast control seal!" Naruto assured.

In the Golden List livestream room,

[Senju Hashirama: @Nine-Tails, what's the effect of the beast control seal? ]

[Nine-Tails: Don't ask! ]

[Naruto: Haha, Nine-Tails is now my little brother! Dad, the beast control seal you gave me is very effective, but unfortunately, it can only be used on one tailed beast. ]

[Fourth Hokage: Use it wisely, son. You should cooperate with Nine-Tails in training. If you master the Nine-Tails' power, you'll reach my level in no time. ]

[Eight Tails: Nine-Tails, you used to be so arrogant, and now you bow down. ]

[Nine-Tails: Eight Tails, you dare mock me? I'll get you! ]

[Eight Tails: Bring it on, I'm not afraid! ]

Many people were curious about the next rankings, but they would have to wait ten more days for the announcement.

In the Land of Fire,

On a mountaintop, there was a yard.

A young man reclined in the yard, basking in the sunlight.

Suddenly, a behemoth appeared, completely red, with one eye blinded.

If White Snake Sage had been there, it would have recognized it as Garaga.

And the young man was Yasao!

Garaga had become one of Yasao's pets.

"Master!" Garaga respectfully greeted.

"Garaga, how's the True Dragon Art I taught you?" Yasao asked.

"Master, I've already reached the second level!" Garaga replied truthfully.

"Good!" Yasao nodded, handing Garaga a vial of True Dragon Blood.

"True Dragon Blood!" Garaga exclaimed with joy, knowing its rarity.

"Take it for refinement. With your second-level True Dragon Art and this True Dragon Blood Essence, you have a 90% chance of becoming a Flood Dragon. Once you're a Flood Dragon, your power will rival the Six Paths level, maybe even surpassing the White Snake Sage," Yasao explained.

"Thank you, Master! I'll work hard to become a dragon!" Garaga promised eagerly.

As Garaga left to refine the True Dragon Blood, Yasao reminisced about the past.
