How Kurama Leads Naruto Astray

The Eight Tails, a special Taijutsu unique to Gyuki, uses eight tails to coil around the user. Then, through a powerful chakra burst, the body spins, creating unimaginable damage to the surroundings.

If it's hard to picture, think of it as a tailed beast's version of a last-ditch attack.

Kurama, now using Naruto's body, couldn't match the size of the Eight Tails, nor did he have as many tails, so the amount of power he could unleash was limited. But even so, it was more than enough to stop the two chakra-powered black dragons.

"NARUTO!" Kurama shouted. As Naruto dodged backward, Kurama swung his three tails to wrap around himself and began spinning, chakra bursting forth.

"Feel the power of the Tailed Beast's strike!" 

The crimson chakra seemed to transform into a massive chakra and landed in place. As Kurama spun rapidly, the snow and sand were instantly drawn into a storm, forming a tornado powerful enough to sweep across the entire land.

The wind and snow grew stronger, and the two black dragons couldn't even make a move to dodge. The entire area was sucked into the tornado, and with a final cry, they vanished.

Kazahana Doto widened his eyes as he watched this scene. His chakra armor flickered under the storm's force. This meant that this Taijutsu attack even had the effect of Ninjutsu, activating his chakra armor.

At this moment, he couldn't fly; otherwise, it would be his own doom.

Kazahana Doto gritted his teeth, standing firm while remaining alert for any potential counterattacks. He mocked, "Not even sparing your own Shadow Clone. You're really just an immature brat."

The Tailed Beast's power from Kurama's Eight Tails was uncontrollable. Even some of the Shadow Clones that had survived the earlier impact were caught in the storm. They said nothing, just staring with lifeless eyes at Kurama, who was spinning wildly in the center of the storm.

Kurama was definitely excited, though not to the extreme. But when such a no-holds-barred attack was unleashed, it was truly enjoyable.

Though, it didn't exactly hit the enemy.

Ahem.

From a distance, Naruto cleared his throat. Don't get it wrong; he was just choked by the sand. "Kurama, enough! If this goes on, this place is really going to be destroyed!"

This was the location of Land of Snow's treasure. Little Snow trusted him so much; he couldn't let this place be ruined.

Otherwise, if Kurama kept going, it would no longer be Eight Tails, but the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Tch." Kurama was annoyed at being interrupted, but he slowly stopped spinning and directed the storm to the other side.

Seeing the storm moving away, Fūka No Tō was relieved. He feared that the guy might go too far and destroy the place. After all, he needed the treasure to rule the world.

Kurama stood still, glanced at the surrounding land, and nodded in satisfaction. "Now that guy's fighting power has been weakened enough. If you can't beat him now, don't expect to slack off in the future."

Naruto walked over to Kurama and gave a thumbs-up. "No chance."

"Hmph." Kurama snorted, dispelling the Shadow Clone.

At the same time, Naruto furrowed his brow, letting out a soft grunt. The pain from Kurama's chakra usage made him feel somewhat uncontrollable, but thankfully, it was nothing compared to the feeling of being slapped to death by Raikage.

He regained his composure and then turned back to Kazahana Doto. "Alright, time for the second round."

Kazahana Doto scowled. "Brat, we don't really need to fight."

It wasn't that he was afraid, but after seeing how troublesome Naruto was, he didn't want to continue fighting with him.

"No, we do." Naruto crouched slightly, his fox cloak swaying in the wind, and two tails shot up into the sky. "I promised Koyuki I'd protect Land of Snow, and I also promised to defeat you. I'll never go back on my word."

Kazahana Doto really hated his niece. As a member of Land of Snow, she had brought so much trouble to the country.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself not to curse out loud. "What do you want? A beauty like Kazayahana Koyuki? With the power of Land of Snow, we can find you more. You can have any woman you want!"

"I don't want that." The Tailed Beast Ball and Rasengan formed in Naruto's hands. He smiled, "A guy like you who enjoys betrayal can never understand the importance of a promise. For me, what's important isn't Land of Snow, but Kazayahana Koyuki!"

In the distance, Kazayahana Koyuki stood behind a huge stone pillar, accompanied by Sasuke and Jiraiya.

Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction, while Sasuke watched Naruto with an odd expression, as though looking at a heartless man.

Kazayahana Koyuki covered her mouth, and as soon as she heard Naruto's words, tears almost uncontrollably streamed down her face. The shining tears reflected her beautiful face, full of deep emotion and disbelief.

Naruto saw this and his smile grew even more like himself: 

"Take a good look at Koyuki! That line… wasn't just for show!"

Kazayahana Koyuki had once said that as an actress, she would say lines that were more passionate than real life. She was an actress, so lines filled with passion, excitement, and emotion didn't mean much to her anymore. 

She had also said things like "Retreat only leads to aging, weakness will bring death,"

 "As long as you keep moving, the road will always stretch ahead, so don't stop,"

 "I'm not a hero, I just do what I want, protect the people I care about," and "People who believe in miracles are already miraculous themselves..." 

These lines sounded meaningful at first, but when you thought about it, they were just words meant to sound impressive.

Naruto looked at Kazayahana Doto, his smile brighter than ever.

Kazayahana Koyuki clenched her hands tightly and leaned against a stone pillar. She stared blankly at Naruto's back, unable to hold back the tears that flowed freely from her eyes.

In a daze, she opened her mouth wide and, possibly with the loudest voice she could muster, shouted at the young man in front of her, who was still small but already creating a world of his own: "Naruto! You have to win!"

"Oh!" Naruto growled.

Sunlight reflected off the snow, and the breeze and snowflakes sparkled under the light. Powerful chakra mixed with an unstoppable aura, held in Naruto's hands, shining brilliantly in the glow.

"This is!" In the sealing space, Kurama's eyes widened in disbelief. Since being influenced by memories of that Earthling, he had never shown such shock, but now, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Not just him—Jiraiya, Sasuke, Kazayahana Koyuki, and even the director and cameraman who had quietly followed them—all stared in awe at Naruto's back.

The red fox cloak on him swirled, turning into a colorful pattern when the clouds parted, like a rainbow-colored Hagoromo draped over Naruto.

The left hand holding the tailed beast ball shifted from purple to color, the stable chakra orb swirling with colors, dazzling beyond belief.

The right hand holding the Rasengan spun, trailing behind with a rainbow-colored chakra, incredibly bright.

Naruto seemed unaware of this spectacle, smiling with his mouth open. Soft golden light flowed from his body, and in that moment, he seemed completely surrounded by golden radiance. Black Tomoe formed on his back, and the rainbow chakra transformed into a Hagoromo, spreading out.

The aura of the Six Paths Sage?
