Chapter 97: Give Me Some Fire!

As more chakra came forth and circled around Naruto, it began to form tails.

Gamabunta was beginning to get alarmed while seeing this.

"Oi oi! I only need a few flames! What are you planning on doing up there?!"

"This is my weakest fire technique. It would normally need a complete Golden Core, but if I unleash at least three tails' worth of the Kyubi's chakra, that would be enough yang energy to bypass the requirement to some degree." Naruto explained while a second tail appeared.

"I have no idea what you are talking about! Wait... did you say three tails?!" The Toad was now regretting making the suggestion. Thanks to Jiraya, he had at least a basic understanding of how the Jinchuriki worked. Enough understanding to know that allowing 'chakra tails' to form was always a bad idea.

The third tail appeared behind Naruto, but there were no signs of him losing control now.

"I can begin now."

Inside the seal, the Kyubi was going crazy.

"Brat! What are you taking so much of my chakra for?! Are you trying to kill yourself?! Stop it! Stooop!"

Jiraiya had modified the seal so Naruto no longer needed the demon's consent to take large amounts of his yang demonic energy. Now he had a lot more freedom in that regard.

"Whargggg!" The One-Tail rushed at Gamabunta, and he was forced to block the attack with his sword.

"Damn it! He is getting stronger." The Toad Lord was beginning to be pushed back. They could not let this continue for much longer.

Gamabunta then saw something appear on top of his head. Some massive red petals came into existence and floated in the air.

"What is that?!" The air was getting hot enough to be uncomfortable.

"When the sixth lotus petal appears... be ready for whatever you are going to do... because I will shoot," Naruto warned him as a second petal became visible.

The One-Tail jumped in the air with tremendous agility and performed a flip mid-air while it brought down its tail in a downward slash motion.

Four petals appeared.

They both looked at the One-Tail. The creature had been turned completely black, and its size was greatly reduced due to all the sand melting.

"You don't think we killed the human container... right?" Naruto asked.

"We?..." Gamabunta muttered.

The burned sand raccoon began to move.

Its surface cracked as the crystallized sand on the top layer broke down.

"Ahhh!" A much smaller but still alive One-Tail resurfaced, screaming.

"I'm free!" he shouted.

"Is that Gaara or the Bijuu? Is there a way to tell if that thing got unsealed?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know anything about seals, but..." Gamabunta pointed at the creature's head. It was hard to tell from that distance, but the figure of Gaara could barely be seen.

The red-headed boy seemed to be attached to the forehead of the sand raccoon and remained immobile.

"There he is!" Naruto exclaimed. "But we don't know if he is alive or not from here." He glanced down at the toad.

"You are going to have to get closer."

"Can't you summon another toad?" Gamabunta didn't want anything else to do with this matter. He lost his sword, his oil, and got burned. On top of that, Naruto never offered anything to drink.

"Come on! You are the Toad Lord! Who else is more fit for this mission?!" Naruto tried to cheer him up.

Noticing his hesitation, he decided to add something else.

"Look, if you help me out a bit more, I'll promise to get you a giant barrel of the best sake in Konoha by next week."

"Ten barrels!" Gamabunta hurried to say.

"Ehm..." Naruto wasn't sure if there was even that much alcohol in the village. But he needed this toad's help for now.

"Fine!... ten barrels!" He may have to ransack all Konoha reserves after this...

"Let's go then!" Gamabunta shouted with renewed vigor.
