"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The buzzing Rasengan shone especially bright in the darkness. The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails were drawn to this strangely familiar blue sphere, curiously sizing up the unfamiliar human who had suddenly barged into the fight.
"A jutsu like a Tailed Beast Ball. Who are you?"
Facing real tailed beasts for the first time, Uncle Jiraiya's heart was pounding like mad. But the moment he thought of the future family behind him, a little more resolve appeared in his eyes.
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I won't let you take another step forward."
"Son Goku, don't bother with him. Barbecue that damn rain ninja for me first!"
After fully entering Tailed Beast Mode, Xiao Zi, curled up inside Son Gokū, had lost control of the body, but its consciousness remained clear. It had little interest in Uncle Jiraiya, who had dropped in from the sky. Its only thought was to kill Heiji, the one who had made it lose face.
"You got it!"
Son Gokū gave a ferocious grin at that. Its true body had not come out for air in a long time. It had to make a proper mess of things!
"Roar!"
After agreeing to Xiao Zi's request, Son Gokū opened its huge mouth, and a scorching Lava Fireball condensed inside it.
"Ra! Sen! Gan!"
Yet in the very next second, Uncle Jiraiya, holding the Rasengan in his palm, shot upward and viciously shoved the azure sphere into the Four-Tails' wide-open mouth.
"Boom!"
The magma that had yet to fully gather instantly exploded. The flames that splashed up bloomed like fireworks, lighting up the entire rainforest.
Only then did the rain ninja, who had hesitated and refused to advance after hearing that terrifying roar, discover the hideous giant beast blocking their path.
