One-Tail Jinchuriki!

Then, under Brando's ocular power surveillance, Shukaku consciously began using the sealing formula to seal himself inside Brando's body.

He could not forcibly control Shukaku with ocular power and make him seal himself because the sealing formula was a complex process. If Shukaku resisted, it would never succeed.

However, with ocular power controlling him and Shukaku willingly using the sealing formula, there was no problem.

So although Shukaku had his own ideas, he had no way to act on them. He could only obediently use the sealing technique to seal himself inside Brando's body.

Several of his crooked schemes were discovered by Brando, who kept pressuring him by saying he would distribute photos of Shukaku bowing to the Nine-Tails sand sculpture all over the world.

"Damn it!"

"Even if I'm sealed inside you, I won't cooperate with you."

Inside Brando's body, Shukaku was still furious.

Against such a despicable, shameless bastard, he hoped Brando would die sooner so he could regain his freedom. If not, even switching to a more easily bullied Jinchuriki would be better than this guy.

"It's fine. I don't need your heart. Your chakra is enough."

Brando did not care in the slightest.

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of red chakra appeared around Brando's body. This was the most basic use of a Tailed Beast Cloak. It could rapidly restore chakra while adding a layer of defense, essentially borrowing chakra.

It was completely different from Gaara's possessed state. Brando directly controlled the chakra released by Shukaku to wrap around himself, without allowing any of Shukaku's other power to invade him.

The Uzumaki clan's physique allowed Brando to easily endure the erosion of this Tailed Beast Chakra.

Brando continued experimenting with Tailed Beast power. Eventually, he activated a complete Tailed Beast Cloak state. A set of bones materialized around his body, and his entire form was covered in ominous chakra like a beast. It was roughly a half-Tailed Beast transformation.

"This state won't do. The chakra can't be controlled precisely, so my greatest advantage is erased. It would put me at a disadvantage in close combat against people from this world. I can't use this state."

After testing the maximum power he could borrow from Shukaku, Brando chose to abandon this mode. A brawling combat style was not suitable against people in this world; he still needed to be more underhanded.

Having made his decision, he would just use the chakra-borrowing form and keep restoring his chakra.

At the same time, he needed to find a way to win Shukaku over and make him cooperate in battle. With a shout—Shukaku!

If Shukaku went all out, the improvement would still be immense. For example, he could manipulate sand, use sealing techniques, and even apply Magnet Release.

Naruto had once borrowed Shukaku's power to unleash a Magnet Release Rasenshuriken.

Shukaku's powers were quite versatile.

"I forgot. I still haven't taken a photo with that stinking crocodile."

Brando turned his head and found that Crocodile's corpse was nearly completely covered by sand.

He hurriedly dug him out together with a Shadow Clone. Then Brando grabbed Crocodile by the hair and yanked him upright, raising his right hand in a V sign and smiling at the camera.

He then sent the Shadow Clone to the nearest newspaper office to deliver the photo negative.

As for Brando, he prepared to finish Crocodile off. He had originally wanted to use a Rasengan and blast Crocodile into mush, but in the end, he felt that was too inhumane. Better to burn him instead.

A Great Dragon Flame directly ignited Crocodile and burned him to ashes.

"Hey, Shukaku."

"I'm tired today. How about you control the sand and carry me while we move?"

Brando felt he could take a break today.

But he did not want to walk. He was still planning to go to Alubarna, the capital of the Alabasta Kingdom, and try to get some skills from King Cobra.

He would also take a look at the Poneglyph and see whether he could crack it with the Sharingan.

Only after doing all that would Brando leave Alabasta and find a new target.

"Who would do that for you?!"

Shukaku huffed.

What did Brando take him for?

"Don't be mad!"

"Look, my physique is excellent, and you sealed yourself in here with your own sealing formula. We can live peacefully together from now on. I can let your chakra leak out so you can observe what's happening outside."

"And I can even let you split off a chakra body to move around freely outside. How about it?"

Brando began working on Shukaku, raising Shukaku's favorability.

Banlei was decent as transportation and for crossing the sea, but in a real fight, Shukaku was definitely more useful as a summoned beast.

And merely drawing on Shukaku's chakra was enough to raise Brando's chakra reserves to more than ten times that of Shadow Level, while also restoring them rapidly.

If Shukaku fully cooperated, his chakra reserves could reach Super Shadow Level. At that point, tearing apart a country would be easy.

"You'd be that kind-hearted?"

Shukaku did not believe that such a despicable, shameless bastard would show him such goodwill.

"Haven't you noticed? This isn't the Land of Wind, nor is it the Shinobi World. It's another world."

"Only you and I come from the same place, so we're companions."

Brando began fooling Shukaku. Since this could not be concealed anyway, it was better to say it outright.

At the same time, he stopped suppressing Shukaku's chakra, allowing him to observe the outside world.

Before leaving, Brando planned to fill his stomach first, so he headed back to Xinzhou Town.

"Hmph, weaving such boring lies to deceive me. I'm not the Nine-Tails."

Shukaku often took the chance to mock the Nine-Tails.

However, he did not stop using his chakra to observe the outside world.

Brando soon returned to town and went back to the restaurant whose food he had found delicious earlier. He ordered a large amount of food, preparing to feast.

"So? These people don't have chakra in their bodies, do they?"

While waiting for his food to arrive, Brando communicated with Shukaku in the mental space.

Shukaku remained silent.

He even secretly used his leaked chakra to manipulate some sand, sticking it to the bodies of the people nearby and examining them closely.

Just as this blond brat had said, these people had no chakra within their bodies.

But that was impossible!

In the Shinobi World, nearly everyone had been left with a Chakra Seed. Even if they did not refine chakra, they would still be tainted by some of it. Yet these people had none of that in their bodies.

"How could this be..."

Shukaku had not expected this absurd matter to be true.

Unless Hagoromo Otsutsuki had revived and reclaimed every Chakra Seed, such a situation should have been impossible.

In his memories, he had still been sealed inside an old man. How had he suddenly been sent to this strange world?

Brando did not continue bothering Shukaku, allowing him to calm down on his own while he happily began eating.

At the same time, the Shadow Clone delivered the negative to the newspaper office.

Once the newspaper's person in charge saw the negative clearly, he immediately sent it to the headquarters of the World Economic News Paper through a fax Den Den Mushi.

"Tomorrow's front-page news is secured again!"

Morgans excitedly flapped his wings.

He felt that this man named Brando would become a frequent headline in the future, stirring up storms across this sea!
