Seeing that the people opposite them were only now showing some hesitation, the Gold and Silver Brothers' gazes swept past them and landed on the ruins behind them.
"So you're acting so timid because you're protecting those ordinary ninjas behind you?"
"How laughable. What value or meaning do creatures as weak as ants even have?"
Naruto and the others charged straight ahead. Though their Tailed Beast Transformation bodies were not agile enough, their speed in a straight-line sprint had increased dramatically.
"Pitiful fools who don't understand bonds and have no companions. I can't be bothered explaining it to people like you. You don't deserve to hear it!"
Gaara coldly retorted and was the first to charge at Bunpuku.
This old predecessor, the previous Shukaku Jinchuriki of Sunagakure—he would personally send him back to the Pure Land to rest.
"Companions?"
"Ridiculous. The bond between us Gold and Silver Brothers isn't something little brats like you, whose hair hasn't even grown in yet, could understand!"
"Tailed Beast Transformation, Ginkaku!"
"Brats who talk nonsense don't live long."
"Brats who don't talk die early!"
"Let us Gold and Silver Brothers teach you disrespectful juniors a proper lesson!"
As the two moved, the former Jinchuriki standing in a row with them acted as well, all entering Tailed Beast Transformation together.
The Gold and Silver Brothers even punched fists directly, transforming into a crimson Nine-Tails whose might was no weaker than Naruto's Tailed Beast Transformation.
Yet the two stood at completely opposite extremes.
If Naruto's Chakra after transforming gave off a warm, powerful feeling, then the Gold and Silver Brothers' Tailed Beast Transformation was bloodthirsty fury, chaotic and savage.
When Naruto saw the "Nine-Tails" formed by Ginkaku and Gold Horn merging together, he was left completely dumbfounded.
"That's impossible! How could they have the Nine-Tails' power?!"
