"Haha! Got him!"
Shukaku jumped up happily. It really did feel better to be out in the world.

Lin Guang said, thinking quickly under pressure.
"Perfect. I don't know much about the Transformation Technique, so it'd be great if Naruto could help!"
"Let's do a combination transformation. Remember to turn
