"Dad..."
"Ah, don't be so polite!"
The figure turned around, revealing Lin Nan's face, full of suppressed laughter.
Naruto was so embarrassed he wanted to burrow into the ground, and cursed the Nine-Tails in his heart, "You said my dad was here! What the heck..."
"I really sensed the existence of my other half, that's strange... Besides Minato, who else... Who exactly is this kid?"
Kurama fell into deep thought within Naruto's body.
"Lin Nan!"
Obito and Uchiha Madara looked down at Lin Nan, their faces turning grim.
"Didn't you say he just broke free? How could he be so fast?" Uchiha Madara questioned.
Obito said, "That golden light is somewhat familiar, it should be the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"Flying Thunder God?" Uchiha Madara's expression turned ferocious.
He recalled that his own brother had been gravely injured by Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Slash back in the day.
"Flying Thunder God? I'd like to see if he can save everyone!" Obito waved his hand.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
The colossal Ten-Tails below them roared, its ten tails rising. Upon closer inspection, numerous holes appeared on them, and immediately, countless branches shot out from above like a torrential rain, covering almost the entire battlefield, making one's scalp tingle.
"The range of the jutsu is vast, defend yourselves!"
"Here it comes!"
Lin Nan looked up, then flew into the air, reaching out for Naruto.
"Give me your hand!"
Though Naruto was bewildered, he still handed his hand to Lin Nan.
The moment their hands touched, golden light erupted.
Naruto's Nine-Tails, which had been somewhat ethereal, instantly solidified, its form beginning to swell. Countless golden tentacles shot upwards, forming a massive golden array.
"Puff puff..."
Like raindrops hitting an umbrella, most of the branches were blocked by the array, but a small number of branches shot into the Ninja Allied Forces' ranks from the periphery.
"Wood Style: Forest Creation!" Lin Nan clapped his hands together, and countless roots surged from the ground, coiling and anchoring, quickly enveloping all the Ninja Allied Forces not protected by the Nine-Tails' array, shielding them from the Deep Forest Emergence.
"Amazing, Mr. Lin!" Naruto's eyes sparkled as he witnessed this.
Lin Nan smirked, then looked from the colossal golden Nine-Tails towards Uchiha Madara and Obito atop the Ten-Tails in the distance.
"Hmph, this kid seems to be provoking us!" Uchiha Madara sneered.
Obito remained expressionless.
If Lin Nan hadn't intervened, he would have already broken through Naruto's psychological defenses.
Once the Nine-Tails was obtained, the Ten-Tails would fully awaken.
Such an annoyance, damn it!
"I want to see how many times you can stop this, Lin Nan!"
With that, Obito directly controlled the Ten-Tails to unleash a indiscriminate Tailed Beast Bomb attack.
He didn't even bother to charge up energy, yet the resulting Tailed Beast Bomb was still incredibly destructive.
It was equivalent to sacrificing some power to increase the attack frequency.
"This situation is difficult to handle!" Naruto gulped.
"Naruto, has your chakra recovered?" Lin Nan asked.
Lin Nan had been continuously pouring his chakra into Naruto, as his own chakra recovery was incredibly fast.
Naruto nodded and asked, "What do you want to do, Mr. Lin?"
"Channel all your chakra, just watch!" Lin Nan was also shimmering with golden light. He clasped his hands together and shouted.
Naruto's body trembled, and for a moment, he felt as if he were inside the Nine-Tails' dwelling.
Two colossal Nine-Tails were punching each other.
One was dark, the other was yellow.
This was Naruto's inner world, and after Lin Nan infused him with chakra, he had easily entered it.
He patted Naruto's shoulder and slowly said, "Do you know how the Nine-Tails was created?"
Naruto nodded, "I know, it was when the Sage of Six Paths split the Ten-Tails' chakra, creating the nine Tailed Beasts!"
"That's right!" Lin Nan looked at the Nine-Tails before him. "However, the Nine-Tails' chakra volume is more than all other Tailed Beasts combined!"
There's a funny joke that when the Sage of Six Paths distributed the Ten-Tails' chakra, it was: One-Tail gets one portion, Nine-Tails gets one portion; Two-Tails gets one portion, Nine-Tails gets one portion... Seven-Tails gets one portion, Nine-Tails gets one portion!
Wait, wouldn't that be unfair? Wouldn't the other Tailed Beasts object?
Alright then, let's give Eight-Tails two portions... And with so much left, let's just give it all to Nine-Tails!
Of course, this is just a jest, but the Nine-Tails' chakra is indeed vast.
And although the Ten-Tails is a fusion of the nine Tailed Beasts, quantity has led to a qualitative change.
Even so, two Nine-Tails combined would definitely be stronger than the average nine Tailed Beasts.
"Boom!"
A terrifying surge of chakra rapidly expanded, and the colossal golden Nine-Tails' form began to grow once more, scaling from its initial hundred meters to seven or eight times its size.
"Swish!"
Numerous tentacles shot out from the Nine-Tails' body, firmly engulfing the Tailed Beast Bomb falling from the sky. Then, by manipulating the chakra, it caused the bomb to explode in mid-air.
Although its power was enough to affect the ground, it had clearly been significantly weakened.
"Roar!"
The golden Nine-Tails roared at the sky. While it was still like a child compared to the Ten-Tails, it was no longer the insignificant creature it was before. It was now capable of standing its ground.
"You truly surprise me!" Uchiha Madara didn't hide his astonishment and looked at Obito with amusement. "What do you plan to do now?"
"No matter how much chakra it has, it's still just the Nine-Tails!" Obito sneered repeatedly. "I'd like to see how he stops the Ten-Tails' evolution!" Obito shouted, then began controlling the Ten-Tails to attack.
The Ten-Tails had now evolved into its second stage. Although not complete, it was no longer the frog-like creature lying on the ground, but had become a lanky, bipedal, ugly monster.
Since the Tailed Beast Bombs were useless, it was better to forgo them.
No force could inflict any damage on the Ten-Tails' physical body, nor could it control its colossal form; therefore, as long as the Ten-Tails was treated as a war machine and crushed forward, it would be unstoppable!
"The Ten-Tails is moving!"
In its second stage, the Ten-Tails' height alone far surpassed a thousand meters. Its ten tails were like ten slender, grotesque arms, forming a bizarre and unbearable-to-look-at monster.
And the Nine-Tails, though reaching seven or eight hundred meters, was still a child compared to the Ten-Tails.
"How can a spark of light contend with the brilliance of the bright moon?" Obito said from above with great satisfaction!
Uchiha Madara, however, looked into the distance with a smile. "Then, what if there were another Nine-Tails?"
