Naruto's Plea Fails

"Kakashi-sensei, you're amazing! Kiba only has one dog, Pervy Sage is said to only have two toads, but you have eight dogs helping you enter Sage Mode."

Naruto looked at Kakashi, who was covered in dogs, and exclaimed in amazement.

"..."

Kakashi was speechless.

Was it really the dog that helped him enter Sage Mode?

Are you sure it wasn't him assisting the dog?

He originally planned to just pick two of them at random, but his other dogs disagreed, feeling that it wasn't fair.

The result is the scene we see now.

Kakashi has two on his shoulders, one on his head, two hanging from his arms, two hanging from his legs, and you can imagine where the last one is.

In short, Kakashi was going through a lot of hardship.

Konohamaru was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, and with the help of Enra and Gamagoro, he began to absorb Natural Energy and refine Senjutsu Chakra.

Kakashi couldn't even find a place to sit.

Kakashi had no choice but to stand and begin absorbing Natural Energy.

We must hurry and buy some time; I don't know how long I can maintain this state of "Shisui."

What if he recovers later? Wouldn't he have to use Purple Lightning again?

He had indeed reduced the power of the Purple Lightning to a very low level, and it was only used against Shadow Clone Jutsu, so it didn't harm him.

Even so, it can't withstand too many repetitions.

If this happens too often, no one can withstand it.

Fortunately, Kakashi's Eight Ninja Hounds, who usually compete for his favor and position, are now quite well-behaved, each fulfilling their duties and helping Kakashi regulate the Natural Energy.

And so, time Past, minute by minute.

Naruto watched the two of them for a while, then started to get bored.

Unlike Naruto, Shikamaru, like most people, gets bored after being lazy and playful for a while and wants to start doing something serious.

So Naruto left a Shadow Clone Jutsu to watch over the two, while he himself ran off to develop some new Ninjutsu.

In other words, even though Naruto has reached the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he still hasn't mastered the Rasenshuriken.

After seeing Kakashi and Konohamaru develop new Ninjutsu, Naruto became quite restless.

Now that the two of them are mastering Sage Mode, he can also develop new Ninjutsu.

"Huh?"

Naruto walked to the bottom of the waterfall, preparing to start developing his Ninjutsu, when he suddenly remembered Kakashi being hung up by eight dogs, and immediately thought of the Tailed Beast he had seen before.

Naruto wouldn't have made that connection, but when he entered the Mental Space earlier, the Tailed Beast, except for Nine-Tails, all transformed into smaller Tailed Beast to avoid Naruto's clutches.

This made Naruto think of something.

It's important to know that Naruto's Sage Mode was achieved entirely on his own.

But Naruto suddenly had a change of heart.

With the help of Summoning Beast, Senjutsu Chakra can be made more stable, and the upper limit of Senjutsu Chakra can also be increased.

So, do the Tailed Beast count?

With that thought in mind, Naruto plunged into the Mental Space.

The development of the Rasenshuriken has been halted once again.

"Kurama, that's how it is. Can you help me like the Summoning Beast?"

After entering the Mental Space, Naruto shared his thoughts with Nine-Tails.

"I can't do it."

The Nine-Tails lay on the ground, listening to Naruto finish speaking, without moving an inch, only slightly opening its eyes.

This answer was extremely perfunctory, as if it were a rejection made without any thought whatsoever.

"The amount of Chakra our Tailed Beast possess is incomparable to that of those small animals. Naruto, you should know this. Even those two old toads you know are not worthy of sitting at the same table as us."

Furthermore, those small animals like toads and snakes are born using Natural Energy; Chakra is a later development.

But we Tailed Beast are different; we Tailed Beast are the embodiment of Chakra.

Nine-Tails kindly explained why it was impossible.

However, the long string of words that followed seemed like an attempt to make up for the immediate rejection earlier.

Naruto didn't think much of it, just let out a "whoosh" and left the Mental Space in disappointment.

So, can Kurama (the Nine-Tails) actually help Naruto enhance his Sage Mode?

There is no doubt about this; it is definitely possible.

In the original story, during Naruto Sasuke's final battle at the Valley of the End, Indra's Arrow was an attack that Sasuke created by absorbing the Chakra of all the Tailed Beast and using Susanoo Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

In contrast, Naruto used the Nine-Tails 'Senjutsu Chakra gathered on the ground to unleash the Asura Rasenshuriken.

Also, Nine-Tails's explanation just now was just to fool Naruto.

Tailed Beast are indeed the embodiment of Chakra, but that doesn't mean they have no connection to Natural Energy.

Tailed Beast originate from the Ten-Tails Ten-Tails, which, as a vessel for absorbing Natural Energy and converting it into Chakra, possesses immense and terrifying Natural Energy.

Furthermore, the reason why Tailed Beast can be resurrected after death is essentially because, although they appear to be aggregates of Chakra Tailed Beast, they are actually reassembled with the assistance of Natural Energy.

That might not be very clear.

For example...

The Nine-Tails is the local deity in the Shinobi World who controls Rashi. Once the Nine-Tails dies, all living beings in the Shinobi World will lose the power of Rashi.

This is absolutely terrifying.

Therefore, Nine-Tails, as the holder of Rashi's power, will definitely be resurrected by the Shinobi World.

In the real Shinobi World, the Tailed Beast don't wield any special authority, but the principle remains the same.

They are aggregate life forms of Chakra, which are also aggregate life forms of Natural Energy.

Therefore, not to mention the Nine-Tails, all the Tailed Beast can achieve a powerful Sage Mode state with their Jinchuriki.

The reason why Nine-Tails rejected her so quickly is quite simple.

From Nine-Tails's perspective, the situation wasn't that critical yet.

There is absolutely no need to abandon their original plans for this.

After all, in order to avoid falling victim to Naruto's attacks, they had to keep Naruto's durability under control.

One way to control Naruto's endurance is to make Naruto continuously use his shortcuts to enter Sage Mode.

Besides, even if things really get really dangerous, it's obvious that the Three-Tails' controlled Baryon Mode, which they're currently practicing, is more powerful.

Finally, it was Nine-Tails settling a personal score.

Ever since Naruto orchestrated a careless defeat for Kurama, resentment has been festering in Nine-Tails's heart.

Although Naruto apologized for the incident, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) hates apologies after the fact.

Even though Naruto even gave Nine-Tails some privileges, such as Nine-Tails being able to whisper to the Tailed Beast, even though this place is Naruto's Mental Space.

After blocking Naruto, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) relayed its thoughts to the other Tailed Beast.

The other Tailed Beast all gave Nine-Tails a thumbs up, indicating their approval.

I really can't let Naruto get away with it, otherwise they'll be in danger when they don't have the shortcuts anymore.

Besides, several Tailed Beast had other ideas.

If Nine-Tails) refused to help Naruto enter Sage Mode, what about Kurama and their Jinchuriki?
