In the iron cage, Kyubi stretched out his clenched paw. Without hesitation, Naruto reached out with his own fist.
The moment their fists connected, Naruto felt a torrent of searing hot Chakra, like molten lava, flooding into his body…
"Roar!!!"
With a deafening roar, Naruto on the rock wall was enveloped in a crimson Biju Cloak. As he slowly opened his eyes, his once blue pupils had turned into fierce, orange-red slits. An aura even more violent, savage, and ferocious than Gaara's erupted from within him!
Gaara halted abruptly. For some reason, when he felt the terrifying aura emanating from Naruto, the monster in his body begin to stir, showing sign of awakening.
'No, I can't let it wake up!'
'If it wakes up, it will take over my body!'
'Kill Naruto, as long as I kill him, the monster won't wake up, and I will be safe!'
Fueled by fear, Gaara swung his tanuki hand and roared as he charged at Naruto… only to be sent flying back at even greater speed.
Behind Naruto's buttock, four massive, crimson tails swung arrogantly.
Naruto slowly stood up from the rock wall, looking down at the Biju Cloak covering his body and the four giant tails behind him, feeling the immense power within them.
At this moment, he felt invincible.
With his hands on his hips, and under the gaze of nearly ten thousand spectators, Naruto postured and declared, "Gaara, you… are too weak."
At this moment, the stands erupted in cheers and discussions!
"Awesome!"
"He repelled that monster in one blow!"
"What's going on with this Konoha's Genin? And what's that thing on him?"
"Although I don't know what it is, I can feel immense pressure just by looking at it."
"Is this really a power that a Genin can control?"
Amidst the buzzing conversations, Sasuke, who was holding the railing with both hands, was shocked.
'This…?'
'I must be caught in a Genjutsu, right?'
'How could that bastard Naruto possess such a powerful force?'
'Furthermore, given Naruto's show-off personality, if he really possesses such a strong power, he would have flaunted it by now unless… he just recently obtained it!'
Sasuke suddenly looked sharply at the main stand.
'Is it Yondaime Hokage or Kanpū-senpai?'
'It must be… no, it definitely must be the Yondaime Hokage who gave this power to Naruto, Kanpū-senpai wouldn't do such a thing!
It must be known that a month ago, both he and Naruto had received a technique from Kanpū. If Kanpū then gave this immense power to Naruto after that…
Sasuke let his imagination run wild and he was filled with jealousy.
"If I'm not mistaken, Naruto should be using Kyubi's power now."
At this moment, Sasuke heard the discussion among Kakashi and the others nearby.
"That's right, it's the Kyubi."
"But isn't Kyubi's Jinchuriki Yondaime-sama's wife, Kushina-sama? How can Naruto have the Kyubi's power?"
Hearing their conversation, Sasuke quietly sighed in relief, 'So it was indeed Yondaime Hokage who intervened… Damn it, why don't I have such a father?!'
Filled with jealousy, Sasuke watched as the battle below reached a critical point.
Naruto, now clad in the menacing crimson Biju Cloak, charged at Gaara, shouting wildly. He unleashed a flurry of left hooks, right hooks, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, not only shattering Gaara's tanuki hand, but also turning Gaara's dark eye circles into black eye frames!
"Still refuse to surrender, still refuse to surrender, still refuse to surrender…" Naruto taunted as he beat Gaara, embodying a delinquent.
Gaara gritted his teeth, his frail body helplessly enduring Naruto's onslaught. Tears, nosebleeds, and saliva mixed together and dripped into the sand.
'What am I doing…'
'I'm getting beaten like an idiot…'
'In front of so many people…'
'I, I…'
After being beaten for a while, Gaara's consciousness began to blur. But the fire of anger in his chest remained, and the unwillingness in his heart did not fade, 'No matter what, whatever the means, I must kill him…'
'Namikaze Naruto!'
'Die!!!'
At this moment, Gaara's eyes snapped open, and his hands formed a strange hand seal: Ninjutsu- Feigning Sleep Technique!
At that very moment.
On the main stand, 'Rasa''s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, 'Konoha Crush Plan… officially begins!!'
"Roar!!"
With a roar that echoed across the heavens, Gaara's body suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a more than a hundred meters tall, earth-yellow, curse-seal-covered… tanuki?
"What kind of monster is that?"
"Hey, is this for real?"
"How do I feel like this beast is about to go on a rampage?"
The audience in the stands panicked directly.
At this time, Shukaku appeared in the original form, and his huge body almost occupied the entire arena!
As Shukaku moved, his colossal tail swept across the rock walls, creating web-like cracks and causing the entire audience to lose their balance!
"All members of the Military Police Force, evacuate all the audiences immediately!!" Kakashi jumped onto the railing and commanded loudly.
"Kakashi, what on earth is happening?"
"Sunagakure actually released their Biju here? Are they planning to…"
The expressions of Guy, Asuma, Kurenai and Tenzo have all changed.
"Kurenai, take Sasuke and leave first." Kakashi turned his head and ordered.
'No, I won't leave!'
Sasuke's pride does wouldn't allow him to 'retire', but seeing the massive hundred-meter-tall monster in front of him, an unprecedented fear and terror crept into his heart. Therefore, the cruel words that came was about to come out of his mouth could not be said.
Kurenai glanced at him, then swiftly grabbed him and rushed towards the stands.
Sasuke was like a ragdoll, flailing in the wind, until he heard a familiar voice.
"Gaara, what the heck are you doing getting so big?!!!"
Naruto's shout echoed through the venue.
Sasuke looked in the direction of the voice and saw the spectators lining up to evacuate through the passageways, guided by the Military Police Force's members, while Naruto stood stubbornly on the railing below the main stand, facing the gigantic beast head-on!
'Naruto?'
'He… is he not scared?'
Sasuke was dumbfounded and looked at Naruto, who was standing on the railing and shouting non-stop, and then thought of himself…
He suddenly started struggling, "Let go of me, I'm not leaving!!"
'If that idiot Naruto isn't leaving, how can I leave?'
'I am the son of Uchiha Clan's Clan Head!'
'I will not lose to anyone!!'
When Sasuke was struggling, Naruto was actually quite nervous inside.
"Kurama, are you sure you can defeat this monster? You're not tricking me, are you? If you lie to me, my dad and Kanpū-sensei definitely won't let you off." Naruto kept chatting with Kyubi in his heart while shouting at Shukaku.
"Relax, this tanuki is no match for me. Even if he got eight tails, he still wouldn't be a match for me. So don't worry, just go for it!" Kyubi casually replied, his confidence surged to the sky!
Meanwhile…
On the main stand.
Minato, Gonbee and Rasa, as well as the guards behind them, remained still.
"Kazekage-dono, I need an explanation." Minato spoke calmly, with his eyes staring straight ahead.
"Explanation?"
'Rasa' chuckled and said, "Yondaime Hokage, seeing you are so prepared, you must have suspected something long ago, right?"
Minato chuckled and asked Gonbee, "It seems that Kirigakure is also involved."
"Hokage-dono, I'm just following orders." Gonbee said solemnly.
At this moment, he desperately wanted to leave, to stay away from the Yellow Flash as far away as possible, but he knows that if he shows any abnormal movement at this time, he will inevitably receive a swift and deadly response!
So he can only sit here, unmoving.
Behind Gonbee, Ao silently activated his Byakugan, and scanned the surroundings. Soon, he found Mei hiding in a corner of the stands.
'Terumi Mei, I'm sorry. Things have gone too far to turn back now.'
Beside Ao, the beautiful secretary stretched out her tongue in excitement and began to lick her face, then spoke in a low, hoarse, cold voice, "Hehehehe, Namikaze Minato, Gekko Kanpū, Uchiha Fugaku, we meet again."
