Facing Gaara's confusion, Hyuga Kagami replied matter-of-factly, "If you can't defeat him, why would he listen to you? If you can't even achieve the most basic equal dialogue, how can mutual understanding even be discussed?"
"I understand."
Gaara nodded, seeming to understand but not quite.
Hyuga Kagami smiled and explained, "Tailed Beasts possess near-eternal lives and power far beyond that of ordinary people. That is why they will not easily take us shinobi seriously. Demonstrating your strength is the foundation of dialogue. You'll slowly come to understand these things in the future."
After giving a few more instructions, Hyuga Kagami sent Gaara back to the Aerial Fortress.
Gaara had now mastered Shukaku's Tailed Beast power. He could enter Tailed Beast Transformation without restriction and use all of Shukaku's abilities. Among all the Tailed Beasts, Shukaku, the One-Tail, had the least chakra, but he was proficient in both Magnet Release and Sealing Jutsu. Used properly, his combat power was extremely formidable.
Therefore, as long as Gaara could use Shukaku's Tailed Beast power to figure out Magnet Release and master the ability to manipulate Gold Dust like his father, the Fourth Kazekage, Hyuga Kagami would strike it rich.
No, that would mean Gaara had officially stepped into the Kage level.
If Gaara also mastered Shukaku's Sealing Jutsu, he would be considered quite capable even among Kage-level experts. At the very least, he would be far stronger than his original counterpart, and even against Madara Uchiha of the Impure World Reincarnation, he would not be unable to intervene.
Setting Gaara's matter aside, Hyuga Kagami continued focusing on his Bloodline Fusion Ritual.
Through the experiment on the small island just now, he had confirmed that the strength of this Yang Release clone fully met the ritual's requirements. There was no need to spend further
