Do I really want to give my body to the Four-Tails?
Beneath the blood-stained water, Roshi's mind raced.
Without the Four-Tails' power, he knew he stood no chance against Uchiha Mikoto.
He had already tasted defeat in their previous clash.
The Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities were beyond his means to counter.
And now, he had lost an arm and a leg.
If Uchiha Mikoto used that twisted spatial vortex ability again, he wouldn't escape a second time.
And this time, he faced not just the Mangekyō Sharingan—but its third power: Susanoo.
The embodiment of both offense and defense.
"That's it... Rather than be slaughtered by Konoha's hands, it's better to surrender my body to the Four-Tails."
Roshi was not the type to kneel.
He'd rather be devoured by his own beast than fall as a prisoner.
"Four-Tails, take it. My body is yours."
The beast's deep, ancient voice rumbled inside him.
"Haha, finally, an honest human. Don't worry, I'll crush these insects for you."
CRASH—
The pool exploded in steam. A cloud of thick, suffocating mist swallowed the battlefield.
On the shore, a towering figure stood beside Mikoto.
Kurama.
His powerful form loomed as he moved beside her. His rough, clawed arm wrapped itself around Mikoto's waist.
"Master Kurama, what are you doing?!" Mikoto gasped, feeling the warmth of his touch through her battle-worn cloak.
Kurama grinned. "Let that fool witness our power. Hold me."
Mikoto blinked. "Huh? Hold you? Master Kurama...?!"
"Envelop me. Wrap me in your Susanoo."
"Oh! So that's what you meant!"
"What the hell else did you think?"
Mikoto's face turned crimson.
Her mind had gone somewhere it shouldn't.
"Damn it, Uchiha Mikoto, you're a pervert! No—you're a big pervert!"
She scolded herself hard.
Kurama had come to help her, and here she was, thinking nonsense.
BOOM—
An overwhelming surge of chakra erupted from Kurama's body.
The sheer force made Mikoto's long, raven-black hair float in the air.
The golden chakra twisted and expanded, forming a massive Nine-Tails around him.
A beast wrapped in raw power.
Mikoto gasped. "So... this is the full form of the Nine-Tails? It's massive!"
She couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Master Kurama, are you sure I can contain it completely?"
"Of course. Merge your Susanoo with me. Let your armor become mine."
Previously, Kurama had granted her part of his power to counter the Mangekyō Sharingan's side effects.
With her current strength, Mikoto could manifest Susanoo's armor onto Kurama.
Taking a deep breath, she focused.
A golden inferno erupted around them.
Nine-Tails stood tall, now clad in radiant, godlike armor—a golden Susanoo enveloping the massive fox.
A monstrous, battle-ready deity.
Mikoto's heart raced. "I... I really did it! Susanoo and the Nine-Tails merged perfectly!"
Kurama smirked. "Told you, idiot."
Though, in truth, against the Four-Tails, this much wasn't even necessary.
Mikoto's Susanoo was powerful, but not perfect.
And Kurama wasn't even using his full strength.
He simply wanted to see how it felt—to wield Susanoo as his own armor.
RUMBLE—
The earth trembled beneath them.
A monstrous roar echoed through the battlefield.
Suddenly, a massive red ape emerged from the boiling pool.
The waterfalls ceased their flow, frozen in midair by the overwhelming pressure of chakra.
The Four-Tails, Son Goku, carried an aura of utter destruction with every step he took.
And then—
He hesitated.
A rare flicker of shock passed through his ancient, battle-hardened eyes.
"Impossible..."
Even Roshi, trapped within, felt it.
He had been the Four-Tails' Jinchūriki for decades.
Yet, he had never felt his beast waver like this.
"Hey! What's wrong?!" Roshi growled internally.
But the beast did not respond.
Instead, Son Goku's gaze remained locked on the golden, armored colossus before him.
"No... It can't be."
For the first time in centuries, Son Goku knew fear.
"Kurama?! Why are you here?!"
The golden beast smirked.
"Heh. Been a while, hasn't it, Fourth Brother? Did you miss me?" seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Son Goku's eyes widened further.
No—this wasn't a Jinchūriki. This was the actual Nine-Tails.
"You... You fused with a human?!"
"Tsk, tsk." Kurama laughed. "Times change, Son Goku."
Roshi's mind reeled.
Nine-Tails? Kurama?!
Was the man before him truly the legendary fox himself?
Not a Jinchūriki?
Not a vessel?
But the real thing?
This world... made no sense anymore.
He had thought his victory was assured when he unleashed his full beast form.
But he never expected this.
His opponent wasn't just a human wielding tailed-beast power.
It was a tailed beast wielding a human's power.
Kurama chuckled darkly. "Fourth Brother... why don't you join us?"
And then, he released it.
A torrent of raw, ancient chakra.
A presence far greater than just the Nine-Tails.
One-Tail, Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Eight-Tails—their chakra intertwined within him.
The battlefield cracked under the weight of their collective might.
Son Goku's entire body stiffened.
"What... what is this?!"
This was beyond anything he had expected.
Kurama wasn't alone.
Within him, the chakra of multiple tailed beasts swirled together in harmony.
It was unheard of.
Son Goku's mind raced.
Forget the Two-Tails or the Three-Tails—even the One-Tail, Shukaku, was there?
That was the most absurd part.
Shukaku had never gotten along with Kurama.
So why...?
"Hmph. Kurama, did you force them?"
"Force?" Kurama snorted. "We tailed beasts deserve our freedom. I'm giving them what humans never would."
Son Goku's fists clenched. "You... You're manipulating them."
"Manipulating? No. I'm liberating. We've been sealed away, played with like pets. Isn't it time we stand up?"
His voice was intoxicating.
For a moment, Son Goku hesitated.
He had spent his entire existence under a human's control.
Kurama's words made too much sense.
"Come." Kurama spread his arms, his golden Susanoo glowing like a deity's embrace. "Join us. We will never be bound again."
Son Goku hesitated.
It was tempting.
But then—
"Don't be deceived!" Roshi's voice roared within him. "He's tricking you!"
Son Goku exhaled deeply.
"I... I can't accept this."
Kurama's grin faded.
"Tsk. Disappointing."
The golden titan took a step forward.
And the war continued.
