Nine-Tails Chakra Mode

Without Sasuke's wholehearted support back then, Neji would never have gained his Tenseigan.

Neji undid the Four Symbols Seal and released Isobu.

Then Neji summoned Armored Dragon. Pointing at the restrained Isobu, he said, "Armored Dragon, I'm leaving him to you. Digest him."

That was right. Neji intended to feed this Isobu to Armored Dragon, allowing him to advance further.

The two shared the same origin, so Armored Dragon could naturally digest this Isobu.

Armored Dragon shook his head and said helplessly, "Father, I can't swallow him."

Neji glanced at Armored Dragon, then at Isobu. "Let me give you a hand."

Neji reached out, placing his right hand on Isobu and his left hand on Armored Dragon.

He activated Chakra Absorption through his right hand. Isobu immediately turned into a torrent of chakra that flowed into Neji's body, then traveled through his left hand into Armored Dragon.

Armored Dragon's body swelled visibly. Not only did he grow much thicker, but his length shot up from just over fifty meters to more than eighty.

"Go digest that," Neji instructed.

Upon receiving the order, Armored Dragon nodded and crawled toward the sea.

Neji turned to Ju Yan and walked over. He placed a hand on Ju Yan's furry body and activated Chakra Absorption, drawing him into his own body.

Then Neji pressed his palm down, forming the Four Symbols Seal. The instant it formed, he released it again. Ju Yan gave Neji his chakra, and a perfect jinchuriki was born.

This time, Neji sensed something different: Tailed beast chakra of an even higher quality than Isobu's.

"Let's test it!" Neji deactivated Tenseigan Chakra Mode and, with a thought, entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

"Just as I thought, I can reach this stage too!" Neji looked himself up and down, examining his current form.
