Naruto: My setting is above yours.

As the seal was completed, Yecang suddenly felt his body become heavy: "Such strong chakra! Even though it has been weakened, it is still so heavy!"

Yufeng Genma said, "Shukaku's chakra will recover, and you will gradually adapt with the seal in place."

"Furthermore, you have been using natural energy to achieve Sage Mode, so it will only take a few years for your chakra to surpass Shukaku's."

Ye Cang nodded.

Her chakra levels had stopped increasing before, but after she began to transform into a Sage, they started to increase slowly again.

Yufeng Genma said, "The Eight Trigrams Seal will draw out Shukaku's chakra. You can study its chakra carefully and perhaps you can master Magnet Release like the Third and Fourth Kazekage."

Yekura said, "I'm already studying the Magnet Release ninjutsu left behind by the Third and Fourth Hokage."

"So what's the next step?"

"That plan you mentioned last time..."

Yu Feng Xuanma raised his hand and formed a hand seal: "It's very simple!"

He created a Wood Release clone, which then used a transformation technique to become a Shukaku the size of a tanuki.

"From now on, I am Shukaku."

The clone spoke in Shukaku's voice, and to Yekura's astonishment, it leaped onto her shoulder: "Announce to the world that you have captured Shukaku, and that I have become your summoning beast."

Yekura stared in disbelief: "This...this is also a transformation technique?"

"Your chakra is exactly the same as Shukaku's!"

Yu Feng Xuanma laughed and said, "It is indeed a transformation technique."

This time it really is a transformation technique, but it's a combination of Transformation Technique 1.0 and White Zetsu's Object Transformation.

Once the chakra of Shukaku has been digested, a new clone will be used to replace it.

At that time, even if Shukaku himself came out, he would think that this was his twin brother.

"The matter is resolved, so I'll be leaving now. You can discuss the rest with my clone!"

After saying that, the Wind-Riding Black Horse disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the genjutsu of the sealing team in Sunagakure was released.

Looking at Shukaku on Yekura's shoulder, they felt not fear, but only shock and admiration.

Because they failed to seal Shukaku in the illusion, the Fifth Kazekage, Yoruichi, subdued it.

When illusion and reality collide, no one realizes they have been under a spell.

After stepping out of the barrier, Yekura instructed the guards, "Seal this place off!"

After saying that, she left with the sealing team.

The two guards were completely unaware of Shukaku on Yekura's shoulder until the others had already walked away, at which point they came to their senses.

"Seriously, am I seeing things?"

"I... I don't think so, right? Is that tanuki Shukaku?"

"Should... I think so?"

"Wasn't the plan to seal him away so he could become a Jinchūriki?"

"What's going on?"

"No way... Could it be that the Fifth Hokage has subdued Shukaku?"

……

Yekura swaggered back to the Kazekage Building with Shukaku in tow, and many ninjas saw it.

When she returned to her office, Chiyo arrived shortly afterward.

Chiyo's eyes widened as she looked at Shukaku lounging lazily on the desk: "Kazekage, this..."

Ye Cang said calmly, "As you can see."

Shukaku, sitting lazily on the table, said, "Old woman, why are you so surprised?"

"I'm not one of those stupid guys."

"You don't know how terrifying the Ten-Tails is, but I know very well. Anyway, I don't want to become a part of the Ten-Tails!"

Chiyo calmed down: "I see."

Is the Ten-Tails really that powerful?

Shukaku chuckled and said, "Listen, old woman, I am the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts. Even when the Third and Fourth Kazekage were alive, they could only barely suppress me."

"But if it's the Ten-Tails, hehe, its power is a hundred times that of me."

"With just one move, the entire Sand Village can be razed to the ground."

Chiyo's expression turned grim and solemn upon hearing this.

She believed half of what Shukaku said.

The claim that it's the strongest of the nine tailed beasts is just something to be taken with a grain of salt.

But the Ten-Tails' power is a hundred times that of Shukaku... probably a hundred times that of the Nine-Tails, right?

How strong is the Nine-Tails?

Chiyo didn't know, she had never seen it.

But she had witnessed Shukaku's power.

Shukaku alone is a terrible disaster, and even a power a hundred times stronger than Shukaku is a force that instills despair!

"Kage, this information should be passed on to Konoha, and even to other ninja villages."

Chiyo suggested.

Ye Cang suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously: "Indeed, it should be."

"I'll make the arrangements."

She felt that her husband—no, her cat—was talking nonsense.

……

In the Land of Rain, inside a huge cave.

A white Zetsu emerged from underground and said to Pain and Zetsu: "A very unexpected piece of news."

"The One-Tailed Beast of Sunagakure has actually been subdued by the Fifth Hokage, Pakura."

Black Zetsu was somewhat surprised: "You've subdued him?"

The White Zetsu, who was one with him, asked, "Has the Fifth Hokage become the perfect Jinchuriki?"

Bai Jue, who was reporting, said, "That's not the case."

"The Fifth Kazekage did not become a Jinchūriki; the One-Tailed Beast was kept by the Kazekage and looked like a pet."

Black Zetsu fell silent upon hearing this.

Pain then spoke up, "That would be even better."

“As long as we create chaos in Sunagakure, Sasori alone can take down the One-Tailed Beast.”

He had originally planned to do it himself.

It seems unnecessary now; sending Sasori and Kakuzu alone is sufficient.

"Then let's start preparing!"

"We've found traces of the Four-Tails in Iwagakure; we need to speed things up."

Black Path.

the other side.

Genma returned home and focused on absorbing the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

For example, the chakra of the One-Tailed Beast was absorbed very easily, taking only an hour in total.

Of the nine tailed beasts, only the Wind-Riding Black Horse is missing its second and seventh tails.

After digesting one of the tails, Yufeng Xuanma didn't feel a significant improvement, except for the enhancements in Magnet Release and Sealing Technique.

Wood Release, Storm Release, Magnet Release, Lava Release, Melt Release, Boil Release, Ink Release, and Sharingan—that's a total of eight bloodline limits.

The cells of the Second Tsuchikage, Orochimaru, are still being cultivated.

This isn't something you can use to perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique; it's not enough to just collect biological samples. You must cultivate living cells.

That's a bit difficult.

In addition to bloodline limits, there are also bloodline limit-like abilities such as lightning transformation techniques and water transformation techniques.

"I'm almost as good as Naruto when he's in his Ten-Tails form."

Yu Feng Xuanma sighed inwardly.

Of course, Naruto with the Ten-Tails still possesses the power of the Six Paths, which is something he can't compare to now.

But we'll achieve it sooner or later!

"The Chakra Refining Technique gives me long-term potential, while the Tailed Beasts, the Ten-Tails, the Sharingan, and the Rinnegan give me immediate combat power."

"We must grasp both aspects firmly!"

Yu Feng Xuanma pondered to himself.

It's unknown whether Madara Uchiha is dead or not.

If Madara Uchiha's body can't be found, then we'll have to wait for Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto...

Thinking of this, Yu Feng Xuan Ma paused for a moment: "Speaking of which, did I accidentally kill Sasuke and Naruto?"

Gaara is gone.

Karin is gone too.

"Probably not?"

"Indra and Ashura's chakra must be reincarnated. If it's the latter's reincarnation, who else could it be besides Naruto?"
