"Then…"
Ren opened his eyes, and dark red Chakra began to emanate from his body, completely engulfing him in the blink of an eye.
"Let's begin!"
"This is…"
Fukasaku's gaze hardened from the sidelines as he looked at the massive, seemingly materialized Chakra, muttering.
"A Tailed Beast!"
"Roar!"
A furious roar erupted from Ren's mouth; he had already transformed into a monster on all fours, with Three-Tails swirling behind him.
It was then that Gamabunta, standing nearby, noticed a clue and shouted in surprise.
"What's going on? When did that kid Ren become a Jinchuriki?!"
Fukasaku and Gama Hiro, however, remained silent, simply watching Ren in the arena, awaiting his next move.
"Continue!"
In the consciousness space, Ren looked down at Isobu beneath him and said loudly.
"Hmm."
As Isobu responded, he began to exert power, and Ren's half-Tailed Beast transformed body continued to change.
Under the astonished gazes of the several Toads nearby, Ren's body swelled to the size of Gamabunta and other Beasts, while the dark red Chakra on his body was absorbed inward, revealing a hard shell and countless sharp spikes, with Three-Tails flying in the air behind him, an invisible pressure spreading out, causing the three Toads watching from the sidelines to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Tailed Beast Transformation…"
Ren opened his eye, and the first thing he saw was Gamabunta's familiar Toad face. He subconsciously raised his left hand to his eye and found it was a giant Beast paw covered in a thick shell.
"It's out…"
In this state, Ren and Isobu shared vision and consciousness. Feeling the long-lost air around him, a hint of nostalgia appeared in his single eye.
It had been years since he was like this. Although his freedom was still restricted, it was much better than the previous dark, isolated living environment.
"Isobu Bro, do you want to try Sage Mode?"
Ren stood up, jumped off Isobu, and turned back with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Although Isobu was a bit slow, he quickly reacted, looking at Ren in front of him and saying in a deep voice.
"You control the power, I'll assist you."
"Alright!"
Ren grinned, then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had turned into a peculiar yellow horizontal bar, with orange eye shadow appearing on both sides.
Sage Mode facial markings!
"Hmm? Natural energy…"
Fukasaku's gaze shifted slightly, focusing on the Three-Tails, and he murmured softly.
In his perception, the surrounding natural energy was swept away in the blink of an eye, all of it absorbed into the body of Ren, who had transformed into the Three-Tails, like a whirlwind.
"Hmm, that rock will do."
After Ren surveyed his surroundings with his single eye, he locked onto a giant rock, about half a head taller than Gamabunta.
"Isobu Bro, prepare the Tailed Beast Ball."
"Hmm."
Isobu responded and began to help Ren gather Chakra. As time passed, a small black ball formed in front of Isobu's mouth, emitting an aura of destruction.
"And then keep adding…"
Ren muttered as he began to add Sage Art Chakra to it, while Isobu assisted Ren in controlling the Chakra and form within the Tailed Beast Ball, preventing it from losing control and exploding.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this thing?"
Gamabunta looked at the rapidly expanding Tailed Beast Ball in front of him, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead, and he instinctively took half a step back.
If he took a direct hit from this thing, Gamabunta guaranteed he would die on the spot, not even leaving a corpse, turning directly into Toad ash in the explosion.
"Step back."
Fukasaku didn't hesitate, jumping directly onto Gamabunta's head, saying somewhat anxiously, while continuously glancing at Ren, fearing he might fire suddenly.
"Alright!"
Gamabunta didn't hesitate at all, turning and leaping into the distance. Gama Hiro calmly turned around and followed his older brother.
Finally, the few Toads stopped on a giant rock a hundred meters away, turning to look at Ren, who was still charging up.
"How did that kid come up with something like this?"
Looking at the Tailed Beast Ball in the distance, which had already reached half his size, Gamabunta took the pipe out of his mouth and said in a low voice.
"This child, he's exceptionally talented…"
Fukasaku fell silent after speaking, sitting cross-legged on Gamabunta's back, quietly observing the distance.
At this moment, Ren, feeling it was almost ready, stopped injecting Sage Art Chakra, turned his head to look at Isobu beside him, and chuckled lightly.
"It's about ready, let's try it."
Isobu nodded, and then, under their combined control, this Tailed Beast Ball aimed at the giant rock in the distance. This giant Chakra ball, capable of causing devastating damage to all living beings present, shot forward!
"Sage Art: Tailed Beast Ball!"
Under their gaze, the surface of this black giant ball emitted a faint glow, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the open ground and crashed into the rock wall in the distance.
Watching the Tailed Beast Ball begin to expand again, Ren unhesitatingly turned his head, manipulating the Three-Tails' massive body to roll away into the distance.
Compared to Fukasaku and the others, Ren was more aware of this jutsu's power. As one of a Tailed Beast's ultimate techniques, even a small portion of its immense destructive power could flatten mountains.
Not to mention with added Sage Chakra, if any of the Five Great Villages were caught unprepared by such a blow, half the Village being destroyed would be no problem.
Running far away now was also for his own safety. Getting injured due to a moment of carelessness would not be pleasant.
"Boom!!"
Before Ren could even turn around, a powerful pushing sensation came from behind him, making his recently stopped body sway again. A tremendous sound echoed throughout Mount Myōboku, causing the few people present to experience ringing in their ears, while many Toads on the mountain also looked up towards their direction.
The rising giant mushroom cloud attracted the attention of all the Toads. They then stopped whatever they were doing and leaped towards that direction.
The Great Sage Toad, who was sound asleep, merely opened his eyes a tiny slit, glanced in that direction, then rolled over and continued to sleep, muttering to himself.
"These kids are so noisy."
At this moment, Gamabunta was enduring the attack, hiding his father in his arms, and with Goro beside him, they extended their left and right arms, leaning on each other to block the aftershocks and air blast behind them, gritting their teeth and holding on.
After all, Ren had shattered a rock wall, and the blasted rock fragments flew like a violent storm. Although they wouldn't cause too much damage to them, the pain was real.
"Damn Ren! I'm never letting him come here again!!"
Gamabunta roared loudly, while Goro beside him was completely different from his older brother. He stood there calmly, as if the rocks had not caused him any harm.
His twin swords sheathed, composed as usual.
