Naruto

One month ago.

The Land of Hot Water.

Located in the southeastern corner of the Land of Fire, this country, true to its name, boasts numerous natural hot springs, stunning scenery, and a pleasant climate, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing trip.

However, the master and apprentice who passed by were not there to soak in the hot springs.

As ninjas, they have their own purposes: training or gathering intelligence.

--Of course, this occasionally includes peeping and drinking with prostitutes.

In Yamanaka the Land of Hot Water.

An extremely dangerous training exercise is underway.

"Roar! Aaaaaah--!"

In the center of the open space, the boy was enveloped in ominous dark red Chakra, staring with murky, dangerous beastly eyes, and roaring in pain.

His orange hair, the beard-shaped markings on his cheeks, and the evil and powerful Tailed Beast Cloak revealed his identity.

That's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... Naruto Uzumaki!

This training is specifically for learning how to control the power of Tailed Beast and undergo controlled Tailed Beast Transformation training.

"Go for it, Naruto, hang in there!" Jiraiya stood to the side, nervously watching the tail behind Naruto, and shouted encouragement.

Before him, three tails had condensed from behind Naruto, their massive and malevolent Chakra radiating a terrifying pressure!

"Control Nine-Tails's Chakra, don't let his negative emotions overwhelm you, Naruto!"

"I... I understand!" Naruto struggled to control the Nine-Tails' power, his words coming out intermittently.

"Pervy Sage... my heart... I'm going to explore even deeper levels...!"

Glug glug.

Naruto extracted more of the Nine-Tails Chakra, and another tail gradually formed behind him.

"Entering Four-Tails Mode..."

Jiraiya swallowed hard.

During Naruto's Tailed Beast Transformation, the first three tails only superficially borrowed the Nine-Tails 'Chakra.

In Three-Tails Mode, Naruto is draped in an orange-red Tailed Beast Cloak, his emotions running high, yet he manages to maintain his composure.

But once a fourth tail grows, everything will be completely different...

The Four-Tails state is the so-called Partial Tailed Beast Transformation stage. In this state, Naruto's strength, speed, and reaction ability are greatly enhanced, and his destructive power increases dramatically. However, at the same time, his consciousness is also eroded by the evil thoughts of the Nine-Tails, causing him to gradually lose his rationality!

Naruto in this state is in great danger...!

Jiraiya's expression remained tense, and he dared not let his guard down for a moment, keeping his eyes fixed on Naruto.

As the boy's Tailed Beast Transformation deepened, his beard grew thicker and thicker. His exposed skin was burned and eroded by the constantly surging black Chakra, and the color of his Tailed Beast Cloak gradually changed from a translucent orange-red to a rich and dangerous dark red.

Naruto's expression blurred, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the overflowing Chakra spontaneously enveloped the boy in the form of a demon fox...

Four-Tails Mode achieved.

Jiraiya felt a chill and also entered Sage Mode.

"Naruto?" His Chakra gathered warily, preparing to form Hand Seals. "Are you alright?"

The fox demon lay on the ground, breathing heavily, its entire body radiating a terrifying aura.

For a fleeting moment, Jiraiya thought Naruto had lost consciousness.

Then a deep, slow voice came from the middle of the open space:

"I... I'm fine..."

His voice was not at all like that of a boy going through puberty, which was childish and hoarse. Instead, it was deep and resonant, like that of a giant beast.

With astonishing perseverance, Naruto suppressed the backlash from the Nine-Tails, and his turbid orange-yellow vertical eyes gradually lost their bestial nature and regained some clarity.

After practicing many times, he gradually got used to this state.

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good, you've successfully stabilized it this time..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It seems you've completely mastered the Four-Tails form."

"So, the next step is to try to generate a fifth tail... Give it a try, but don't force it, Naruto!"

Naruto nodded with difficulty.

After entering the Four-Tails form, he had to focus his main energy on resisting the erosion of the Nine-Tails' negative thoughts, leaving him with almost no energy for complex thinking.

However, this is a huge improvement compared to his previous manic outbursts.

Compared to the Naruto in the original story, because Sasuke in this world didn't defect and Sakura didn't make any heavy requests of him, Naruto's dark side isn't as strong. Therefore, after entering Four-Tails Mode, he's less likely to lose control of his emotions and can manipulate the Tailed Beast Chakra in Four-Tails mode relatively stably...

He took a deep breath.

More Nine-Tails Chakra surged forth, coalescing into a fifth tail behind him.

Five-Tails Mode... activated.

More evil thoughts of the Nine-Tails surfaced in his mind as his Chakra overflowed.

Naruto's vision went black as a wave of negative emotions, a chorus of "kill! kill! kill!" surged from the depths of his mind. All the dark and negative thoughts buried deep within his memory rushed to the surface, his entire mind seemingly filled with murderous intent. He gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, and with his powerful willpower and endurance, he managed to suppress the violent thoughts that kept surging in his mind! After a long while, Naruto finally calmed down.

It's not out of control...

After getting used to the Four-Tails Mode, I was able to persevere through the Five-Tails Mode, which didn't change much, just by sheer willpower!

The thought vaguely flashed through Naruto's mind.

"Huff... huff..." His breathing was unusually heavy, rumbling like that of a savage beast. "I... I held on!"

Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

"You did it..." He smiled with satisfaction, giving Naruto a thumbs-up. "Now, test the power of Five-Tails Mode, Naruto!"

"... clear..."

Naruto slowly raised one hand.

With a blank stare into the deserted forest, Naruto took a deep breath, then swung his sword downwards with force!

Roar!

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, howling and howling!

With just a wave of his arms, Naruto unleashed a massive storm!

"What...?!"

Jiraiya frowned and stared. He saw Chakra claws slicing through the air, the resulting shockwave forming a thick wall of air that crashed headlong into the nearby forest!

The raging wind sliced through the forest like a sharp blade, sending pebbles flying, branches snapping, trees falling, and a scene of utter devastation!

"So strong!"

"This is almost as powerful as Wind Release Ninjutsu..."

Jiraiya stared intently at the forest that looked as if it had been ravaged by a storm, and for a moment he was speechless.

Naruto slowly withdrew his hand.

He glanced at a huge rock in the woods, imagining it as his enemy, then arched his back, kicked hard, and leaped out like a red fox!

"Hey!"

Naruto roared, his hand transforming into a sharp claw as he grabbed at the boulder.

Its strength was so great that with a single swipe of its claw, it crushed the hard granite into powder as easily as tofu!

Boom boom boom!

With a few more swipes of its claws, the boulder turned to dust, and even the ground was thrown into a deep crater!

The flying pebbles struck Jiraiya, who was watching from the sidelines, causing him a dull ache.

Naruto was still not satisfied.

The previous test of his skills had ignited his destructive urges; such violence was no longer enough to satisfy his desires. He suddenly raised his head, let out a long roar, and countless Chakra orbs emerged from his body, merging into a black Chakra orb above his head.

An extremely dense Chakra ball, exuding a terrifying, calamity-like aura, floated silently on Naruto's lips.

"That's... Tailed Beast Bomb?!"

Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine, his heart filled with terror. He involuntarily took a few steps back, muttering to himself!

The boy put it in his mouth.

The next moment, the Tailed Beast Bomb shot out of Naruto's mouth!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a blinding light, brighter than the sun, suddenly shone from afar. The entire earth trembled, and the earth-shaking rumble resounded throughout the sky. A transparent and thick wall of air visibly spread outwards.

Once the intense light, loud noise, and strong wind subsided, Jiraiya raised his head and looked into the distance.

The mountain in the distance had vanished without a trace.

"Sharp..."

Jiraiya shrank his neck, forcing a stiff smile.

With just that speed, strength, and Chakra reserves, he already Jonin most Jonin and is considered excellent even among Kage Level.

The destructive power of the Tailed Beast Bomb is extraordinary; even Orochimaru would die a terrible death if he were completely hit by this attack!

Even with Jiraiya in Sage Mode, Naruto in this state was still a challenge!

The only drawback is that in this mode, Naruto is too easily corrupted by the Nine-Tails, losing his self-awareness and fighting solely on instinct...

"That's enough, Naruto." Jiraiya clapped his hands and advised, "Let's stop here for today!"

Naruto slowly turned his head.

Jiraiya was taken aback by the emotionless smile on the boy's lips.

"... No, that's not enough..." Naruto said mechanically.

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Tailed Beast Bomb had intensified the corruption of the Nine-Tails' evil intent on him?

"Get back to your senses, Naruto!"

Naruto seemed not to hear, took a deep breath, and suddenly roared, "Roar! Ro...

The Nine-Tails Chakra surged forth wildly!

As the power of the Nine-Tails overflowed, a sixth tail slowly grew out from behind Naruto!

"Damn it! If this continues, the Nine-Tails will completely escape its seal... Naruto will die!"

Jiraiya was terrified. He quickly Hand Seals and charged forward!

" --Naruto!"
