Early the next morning, Naruto woke up with a yawn. Jiraiya had chased him all night, only giving up around three in the morning. Having only slept for two hours, Naruto was quite tired, feeling as if it would have been better not to sleep at all.
After washing up, he went to cultivate, and life returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened. In the afternoon, Naruto teleported to the deep abyss of the ice valley in the Land of Snow, where the Xuantian Alliance was buried. This was the only place he could find, besides the sky, that White Zetsu couldn't reach, because it was too cold.
Temperatures of minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, while not reaching the extreme lows of the Antarctic in his previous life, were unbearable for ordinary creatures. Even Naruto couldn't stand it. He only discovered this place because a clone accidentally fell and died, thus teleporting him there.
At this moment, Naruto was standing next to the Two-Tails' tail, warming himself by a fire. Beside him was a small piece of octopus tail that had been cut off, and Method One, who was still unconscious and covered in sealing tags.
One, Two, Seven, Eight. Including the One-Tails and Seven-Tails inside Method One, he had already gathered the chakra of four Tailed Beasts.
"Big Fox, what do you think would happen if I sealed all nine Tailed Beasts inside me?"
Hearing this, Kurama even stopped watching its drama. "Brat, your ideas are dangerous."
"Is that so?" Naruto was slightly distracted. This fight really made him realize a lot. He almost lost to either A or B, even with his cheats. So when could he go to the Ōtsutsuki Clan's home and make a scene?
But would fear work on those people? No, it wouldn't. And he, who was immune to fear perception, couldn't even beat Might Guy without opening the gates in his normal state.
He had been training since he was five, every day without rest except for unconscious missions, and it had been ten years. Ten years of effort yielded this result. If he were comparing himself to humans,
Naruto would be happy that he was strong, but he was comparing himself to gods. This time, he clearly recognized the chasm between humans and gods, that Wall of Sighs. Although all roads lead to Rome, the Ōtsutsuki Clan was born in Rome, damn it.
Now there was a shortcut in front of Naruto, but reason made him refuse. Naruto hoped to conquer the Ōtsutsuki with his own power and the help of the fox spirit, at most adding Sasuke. After all, even if he bound them,
it would be hard to guarantee they wouldn't blow up the upstream and take him down with them in a desperate struggle. Naruto knew himself. With his personality, even if the Sage of Six Paths came out and signed a treaty, it would be difficult to coexist peacefully with the Nine Tailed Beasts.
Kurama looked down, overlooking him: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, when all nine Tailed Beasts gather, an extremely terrifying entity will appear, capable of tearing mountains and splitting seas, omnipotent, and knowing only destruction. So I advise you to give up on that idea early."
"Oh, that powerful?" Naruto also knew this and asked, "What if I seal a portion of their chakra? What would happen then?"
Sealing them all inside was impossible, but a portion of their chakra might work. This was also a way to increase his power ceiling.
"This old man doesn't know." Seeing Naruto return to his normal, eccentric state, Kurama lay back down. Only a madman would share a living space with other Tailed Beasts.
"Then I'll try."
"Suit yourself, just don't bother this old man," Kurama continued watching its show.
Those chakras had no will; they couldn't observe or transmit information. Otherwise, it would have stopped him. If they found out about my current state, wouldn't they die laughing?
Outside, Naruto walked around the two large tails several times, and couldn't help but ask, "Big Fox, how do I pull this thing into my body?"
Kurama didn't even move an eyelid: "Use chakra to grasp chakra, feel the attachment, and then just pull it out."
"Oh." Naruto placed his red chakra-infused hand on the tail, feeling the Eight-Tails' chakra. He rubbed and rubbed, suddenly felt something, and pulled hard: "Here it comes."
Feeling the extracted chakra, Naruto chuckled. "It's not that hard."
"Nonsense. You're using this old man's chakra, of course it's not hard. Why don't you try your own? The backlash would kill you."
"Weren't you watching your show?"
"None of your business."
Arguing with the fox spirit in his mind, Naruto pulled the Eight-Tails' chakra back into his body. The first amount was small, just to see if he could handle it.
"Hmm... it's a bit bloated..."
He pulled in a little more, still bloated. Other than that, he didn't feel much. It seemed training was beneficial; at least his body's endurance was good.
Following the same method, he dragged the entire tail's chakra into his body, enduring the bloating sensation. Naruto looked at the floating chakra sphere above the wheat field outside the sealing gate and shouted, "Big Fox, where's the sealing seam?"
Leaving it outside was difficult to manage. It was better to pull it in. With a seal, it should reduce the bloating pain. Even if not, he could still have the fox spirit suppress it.
But the fox spirit didn't reply.
"Big Fox? Big Fox!!"
"This old man is watching a show."
"Why are you acting up now? I'm about to burst, hurry up."
Kurama's eyes filled with triumph: "Over there, under the gate."
As it spoke, red chakra seeped out from under the gate, indicating the direction.
"Alright," Naruto jumped off Kurama's belly, ran outside the gate, pushed the three-person-tall chakra sphere outside, and made the sphere cling to the red chakra under the gate: "Alright, pull it in."
"Who's actually trying to play here?" Kurama complained, then controlled the chakra to envelop the sphere and pull it through the gap into the gate.
Having done it once, the second time was familiar. Naruto left some of the Two-Tails' chakra, as he might need it for roasting Three-Tails, Four-Tails, or Five-Tails later. As for the Six-Tails' mud, Naruto felt he wouldn't touch it until he was poor enough to eat dirt.
After sealing the Two-Tails, it was time for the One-Tails and Seven-Tails inside Method One. This time, Naruto learned to apply what he learned. He used Kurama's chakra to squeeze out the One-Tails and Seven-Tails from Method One's body, then dragged them in.
After teleporting Method One to a hospital in the Land of Snow and having medical staff treat him, Naruto returned to ten thousand meters above ground.
Inside his body, Naruto looked at the four chakra masses of varying sizes, feeling a bit troubled. They were in, but how should he deal with them?
Even if he left them alone, they would dissipate. If he didn't process them, they would disappear soon.
He cut off a few small masses to keep as backups. Naruto suddenly said, "How about you eat them, Big Fox?"
"This old man can't eat them." Kurama's fox face was bewildered. Can it just casually eat this stuff?
"Why?"
"Incompatible. Can't digest it."
Naruto tapped his cola cup: "Then how about you press it down with cola?"
Kurama looked at him with an expression of concern for an intellectually disabled person. If it doesn't digest, just press it down? Who taught you that? Can that be used on Tailed Beasts?
"Come on, try it," Naruto pushed a few large chakra masses towards its mouth, offered cola, and also took a small mass to his own mouth, holding up the cola-filled vase: "Together."
Trying it won't make you pregnant.
"Always messing around." Kurama tilted its mouth to take in the chakra mass, and said telepathically, "Just once. If it doesn't work, then forget it."
"Okay." Naruto gently tapped the fox's large cup with his vase: "Cheers."
As soon as the chakra mass entered his mouth, Naruto felt a burning sensation, then quickly chugged a mouthful of ice-cold cola. The hot and cold sensation made him let out a breath: "Phew... comfortable."
This must be the Two-Tails' chakra. Just as he was about to take another mass to taste the Eight-Tails' chakra, he suddenly saw Kurama's belly vibrating violently like it was pregnant with quadruplets, swelling up even larger than its already round shape.
Naruto was dumbfounded. How did you get pregnant just from trying it?
Should I give you maternity leave and then go learn postpartum care?
Just as Naruto was agonizing over whether to learn postpartum care for a mother fox or a sow, Kurama let out a long burp and spat out the four chakra masses: "I told you I couldn't digest them."
Feeling the Two-Tails' chakra, which had disappeared from his body, Naruto was worried about how to store these chakras. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. He ran outside the gate and carefully observed the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style left by the Fourth Hokage.
Since he couldn't store them, he would seal them.
If he could seal a fox inside his own body, could he seal other Tailed Beast chakra inside the fox's body?
If so, he would seal them on the tails. Nine tails, representing the nine Tailed Beasts.
