The Seal Is Broken! The Snobbish Nine-Tails

After the Shinki caught up, Killer B pointed at the beast's head with an air of importance. "Put your head into the beast's mouth, and if you have no evil intentions, it will open a door."

"But if there's any evil thought, the beast's head will immediately close! ヽ('⌒´メ)ノ"

Naruto: "Close it immediately! Does that mean it might bite someone's neck off?!"

Killer B nodded. "That's exactly right! ( ´▽` )"

"This thing can even detect a person's psychology?" Shinki asked, somewhat skeptical.

"Hey, young man, don't doubt me," Killer B said confidently. "Weren't you just curious about those headless statues outside? Those statues are modeled after the people who lost their heads here."

Killer B had now explained the stakes involved; the remaining decision was who should open the door.

The clever Shinki was the first to think, "Uncle, since you've cultivated here before, you must have opened this door before. Opening it again won't hurt, right? (๑ت๑)"

Killer B immediately refused. "Don't even think about it! Who's going to cultivate, you or me?"

With that, Killer B immediately adopted a strike stance. "Since none of you are willing to step forward, then today's training ends here!"

Shinki had no choice but to step forward. "Fine, fine, I'll do it!"

Might Guy asked worriedly from behind, "Hey, this could easily kill you. Can't we use Shadow Clone?"

Killer B waved his hand sternly. "No, this Ruins is sacred. We should always approach it with reverence. Using Shadow Clone would be blasphemy! Ծ‸ Ծ"

Kai: "Shinki, are you no longer considering it...?"

However, before Kai could finish speaking, Shinki had already shoved his head into the beast's head!

"Click--"

A mechanical grinding sound came from behind the wall, as if the Shinki had reached into the beast's head and activated some kind of mechanism...

The next moment, a door slowly opened in the previously smooth wall not far from everyone!

Behind the door was a room gleaming with light and color.

The room had no walls or windows; it seemed to be composed solely of light!

Curious Naruto immediately peered into the mysterious room, just as Shinki's scream came from beside him, "Ugh! My head! My head!"

Everyone rushed forward to check, and after seeing the state of the Shinki, they all gasped in shock!

ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!

The Shinki's head disappeared!!

Perhaps because the carotid artery had been severed by the beast's head, blood was still gushing out!

Kai:!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

He promised to protect Naruto the Shinki, but unexpectedly, the most reliable Shinki stumbled here! He even lost his head!

He immediately burst into tears and shouted, "Shinki! Shinki! Where's your head? I'll go find it for you!!"

Just as Kai was about to stick his head into the beast's mouth, Shinki's laughter rang out from the side.

"Hehe... Actually, there's a switch in this beast's mouth, so it won't bite people's heads at all. (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ"

Killer B, standing not far away, also laughed, "Hahaha, that Transformation Technique was used well, even more realistic than my acting back then! (•̀⌄•́)b"

Kai finally realized he'd been tricked and was speechless. "Is this what you mean by having a sense of awe for Ruins?! (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻"

After this brief incident, the group headed towards the room composed of light.

"What is this made of? It's so cool! (´◊ω◊`)" Naruto asked.

Killer B said, "How would I know about that? ┐(´-`)┌"

"Who wants to start the next training session?"

Naruto raises his hand. "Me! Me!"

Killer B and clasped his hands. "Alright, now go into this room, sit cross-legged, and concentrate, just like you did in front of the waterfall. That way you'll be able to see the Tailed Beast inside you."

Naruto asked in confusion, "But I can communicate with the Tailed Beast inside me even without entering this room. (‧_‧?)"

Killer B: "This room was built for a specific and ingenious purpose."

After saying that, Killer B led everyone into the room made of light.

Suddenly, he asked, "What is the name of the seal on the Nine-Tails inside you?"

Naruto scratched his head. "The Four Symbols Seal, I think."

Killer B: "Is there a way to break this seal?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, there's Toad on Mount Myōboku that has the seal to break this seal... However, the Shinki can also break this seal. (°ー°)"

Killer B the Shinki standing beside him a deep look. "You're a bit too versatile, kid!"

Then, he looked at Naruto and said, "Listen, what you're about to do is simple: enter the sealed space within your body, greet the Tailed Beast first, then directly break the seal. After the Tailed Beast breaks free of the seal, you must use your Chakra to capture Tailed Beast Chakra... Remember, Chakra can only be captured by Chakra..."

Naruto asked in confusion, "So all I need to do is steal his Chakra? Then what's the purpose of this room?"

Killer B's face lit up with a smug grin. "If you fail in your attempt to seize the Tailed Beast Chakra, resulting in the Nine-Tails' revival, this place can imprison the Nine-Tails until the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki arrives..."

Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

What he really wanted to say was that with the Shinki by his side, there was no need to worry about the Nine-Tails causing complete chaos.

However, saying that would be disrespectful to Killer B Bee's contributions, so Naruto wisely kept quiet.

Naruto: "I see. Well then, let's begin. ୧⍢⃝୨"

After saying that, Naruto, Killer B, and Shinki closed their eyes at the same time.

Inside the sealed space within Naruto's body.

Naruto's spirit appeared before the enormous sealed cage. "Nine-Tails, we meet again. (o´Д`o)ノ"

Behind the sealed gate, a disdainful look appeared on Nine-Tails' face. "Naruto! You dare to dream of obtaining my power?! (′д`σ)σ"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Shinki appeared!

Nine-Tails immediately tucked its tail between its legs and curled up.:_(: D)∠)_

"What... what do you want to do?!(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

Naruto continued, "Shinki, please help me open this sealed gate."

"Good."

Shinki stepped forward, tore off the seal on the huge sealing door, revealing the spiral lock on the door!

Then, he placed his right hand on the sealing mark on Naruto's abdomen and slowly rotated it...

As the Shinki's hand rotated on Naruto's stomach, the spiral lock on the sealing gate slowly opened with a "click-click" sound!

As the last latch retracted, "whoosh—" the sealed gate opened!

Nine-Tails remained curled up in the corner. "Hey, don't come any closer! ヾ(༎ຶД༎ຶ)ﾉ"

Just as Shinki was about to help Naruto absorb the Nine-Tails 'Chakra...

Naruto suddenly raised his hand, stopping Shinki: "Thank you, you've already helped me a lot. Let me handle the rest myself. (●´∇`●)"

Naruto knew that Nine-Tails's docility was purely out of fear of the Shinki.

But the Shinki can't always be by your side, so you can't avoid what you have to face.
