"He has finally emerged I see…" Kurama commented.
Shukaku found his vision strange,
He bent down to check his body, only to find that the sand was very little for the full body size revival.
"Tsk, There is no sand here at all…" Shukaku commented, after which he observed the surroundings.
Shukaku spotted Naruto, who was staring right at him.
"HAHA!"
"RIGHT AWAY!"
"THE GUY I WANNA KILL!"
"IS YOU!" Shukaku shouted excitedly after which, it started running towards Naruto.
In Naruto's vision, Shukaku appeared as Gaara with two huge hands and a tail, barely able to move his body, as it ran towards Naruto.
…
Naruto joined his hands together.
< Nine tails mode >
Naruto activated the bright yellow-red cloak around him,
"Damn it!"
"It's the Nine-Tails Bastard!" Shukaku commented as it stopped in one place.
Shukaku raised one hand in the air, and then let it fall onto the tiny stomach
< Wind Style - Air Bullets! >
An immensely compressed burst of wind-generated a huge amount of shockwaves which caused the tatami tiles on the battle floor to fly away.
Naruto lunged forth a huge chakra hand that stopped the air bullet.
Shukaku stared at Naruto who was in complete control of Kurama's power and said.
"Hahaha!"
"While I have gained freedom. It looks like you have had a bad fate you nine-tails bastard."
"Your submission to this human is a disgrace to us tailed beasts." Shukaku provoked Kurama.
…
"Naruto!"
"Let me take over."
"I want to teach this bastard raccoon a good lesson."
Kurama asked Naruto, feeling its pride was on the line.
"Are you sure!"
Naruto asked since he felt the situation was a bit troublesome.
"Yes!"
"I have been waiting for this kind of an opportunity for a very long time."
Naruto agreed to Kurama, after which they exchanged places.
Shukaku saw Naruto's facial expression change, as the three lines on either side of his cheeks become thicker.
"It's been a long time since your last lesson, ya raccoon bastard!" Kurama spoke through Naruto.
…
Shukaku was shocked.
"You willingly submitted to that brat!"
Kurama smirked at Shukaku.
"Why don't you stick and find out?" Kurama said as he sent a huge hand towards Shukaku.
"Kurama!"
"Don't harm Gaara!" Naruto pleaded.
"I know!"
The big hand reached towards Shukaku and swatted it away like a pesky fly.
"Damn it!"
"This is what I hate about you the most Kurama!"
"You always want to prove that the beast who has more tails is stronger," Shukaku said in a grieving voice.
"Naruto!"
"Shukaku is really weak now."
"You can easily handle him if you wish," Kurama said as he exchanged his place with Naruto once again.
("That was fast…") Naruto thought as he looked towards Gaara.
Shukaku struggled to get up again, but he slowly felt like losing consciousness.
"Darn!"
"IT HASN'T BEEN LONG SINCE I EMERGED…" Shukaku shouted unwilling to disappear.
…
Soon Gaara gained consciousness and looked towards Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto…" Gaara stared at Naruto with hatred.
"Why do you fight against me?" He asked feeling his anger pulse through his head.
…
…
….
"Hokage-sama!" An ANBU agent showed up next to Hiruzen.
"reporting to the Third, the sealing team should be here in less than five minutes…"
"Tell them to report here first, when they arrive!"
"Yes!" The agent accepted the order and disappeared.
"Hokage-sama, who is handling the boy inside?" Anko asked.
"Keep this under wraps…"
"It's Naruto," Hiruzen said in a low voice.
"Hokage-sama!" Another group of ANBU agents appeared with Sasuke in tow.
"Um." Hiruzen nodded.
…
…
…
Kurenai was next to Asuma,
"Asuma, what are you thinking?" She asked.
"It's about Naruto…" Asuma said as he exhaled a cloud of smoke.
"Naruto…"
"He has been somewhat of a genius lately…." Kurenai sighed as she stood by his side.
….
…
(BZZZZ!!!!)
A fly landed on the finger and started communicating.
"Hmm?"
"Naruto…" Shino looked towards the tower.
He then looked towards the base,
"What is she doing in her current condition like that?" Shino murmured, after which he started walking in her direction.
….
…
"Why do you fight against me?" Gaara asked.
Naruto was unable to answer Gaara since he was thinking of the Gaara back in his former world who was like a brother to him…
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata watched from the corner.
At this moment Naruto and Gaara turned towards her at the same time.
"Hinata!"
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he ran towards her.
("Damn it!")
("I forgot the fact that Gaara was a sensory-type too…") Naruto thought as he ran forward.
Just before he was about to reach…
(Bang!)
"Hinataaaaaa!" Naruto shouted as he saw Hinata who got trapped with a sand arm that crushed her towards the wall.
"Naru…." Hinata fainted once again.
Naruto got angry at this moment.
He grabbed the sand arm out with his chakra arm and crushed it to dust after which he landed by Hinata's side.
Gaara was shocked.
He knew Naruto was just like him, who possessed a monster. However, he was not aware of the amount of power Naruto wielded, nor his ability to control the power perfectly.
"I WANT AN ANSWER," Gaara shouted.
"People abandoned us. They abandoned us because we hold monsters. Yet why do you fight for them?"
"You are supposed to fight for yourself…"
"You are supposed to love only yourself."
Gaara spoke while Naruto used his power to heal Hinata.
After he healed her a bit, her rosy complexion had slowly regained.
Naruto looked towards Gaara and then started walking towards him.
"The pain of being all alone is unbearable. I have been in the same place you are standing at right now…"
"But soon, I met people who are very important to me now."
"I won't allow those important people to get hurt!"
Naruto said with anger in his eyes.
…
Slowly he looked back towards Hinata with a gentle expression.
"They are the ones who saved me from the hell of being all alone."
"They accepted me for who I was."
He turned towards Gaara again as he said.
"That's why…they are important to me!" Naruto concluded.
…
Gaara was reminded of Yaashamaru once again…
"Love is a heart that desire to serve a precious person who is close to oneself."
"to love and watch over that person…"
…
"Love…" Gaara murmured.
("That is why he is so strong?")
Naruto saw that Gaara had dropped his guard, and so has his sand.
("CHANCE!")
Naruto vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Gaara, knocking him out cold.
"Why did you do that?" Kurama asked.
"Kurama!"
"I plan to break the seal and reseal Shukaku" Naruto replied.
"But wouldn't that make him die?" Kurama asked.
"Hehe"
"It's thanks to my Mom that I am able to access the sealing chain that was part of my bloodline."
"I can hold down Shukaku in Gaara's body with the chains as I reseal him once again…"
Naruto said as he bent down.
…
He thought back to one of the conversations he had with Gaara in the previous world.
Gaara mentioned that he finally knew what sound sleep meant after losing Shukaku.
"Seems like the seal the sand village had placed on him is unable to hold Shukaku back on its own…"
"The seal has only covered the physical aspect but not the mental aspect of the technique thus resulting in Gaara to deal with the burden of keeping Shukaku in check by diverting his consciousness."
Naruto explained as he observed the seal on Gaara's tummy.
Naruto then placed his hands together as he concentrated.
"Huh?"
"Why are the chains not appearing?" Naruto asked himself.
(Boom!)
Naruto felt something explode in himself with an excruciating pain across his heart.
"AAHHHHH!!!!!" Naruto shouted.
About a minute later he finally calmed down.
("I can't fail here…") Naruto thought.
Naruto then concentrated once more.
< Adamantine Sealing Chains >
(click!)
(click!)
(click!)
(click!)
Sounds of clicking were heard as the chains appeared and embedded themselves onto Gaara's seal.
"It works," Naruto said.
Naruto disabled the technique after which he got up and walked a few steps away from Gaara.
He brought his finger to his mouth and bit on it.
Blood started to trickle down drop by drop.
Naruto bent down to start writing the characters on the floor one by one in a formation around Gaara.
…
A few minutes later…
"Done!" Naruto said as he got up.
He then walked over to Gaara again.
"It's time to end one of Gaara's biggest trouble."
< Adamantine Sealing Chains >

See you guys tomorrow...
Comments, likes, power stones, and reviews, please.
Peace ✌️
Outside the tower.
Shino stood near the entrance receiving reports from the insects on what was going on…
"The Genins, Jounins, and even the ANBU members have left the hall…"
"But Naruto is inside all alone with the sand guy…"
"Hinata has also run inside now…" Shino murmured to himself.
He then turned towards the direction in which the evacuated people and the Hokage was…
"There is something more to this than meets the eye…"
…
"Hokage-sama, the sealing team, is on standby."
"We await your orders for dispatch!" ANBU agent reported.
"Mm," Hiruzen nodded.
Sasuke stood by the side and heard the conversation.
("Looks like Naruto is handling everything by himself inside…")
("Does the Third know Naruto's secret") Sasuke thought as he looked towards Hiruzen.
….
….
….
Inside the Tower Hall…
"SEAL!"
Naruto shouted upon which the characters that were written in blood on the floor, slowly got sucked towards the place where the adamantine chains were holding Shukaku.
Gaara grunted in unconsciousness, while Naruto held onto his body to hold Gaara in place.
The characters were being sucked in a steady pace, which also increased the pain felt by Gaara slowly.
"AAAHAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Gaara shouted following which, the characters had finally finished flowing in, and a seal mark was formed in its place.
"Whew!" Naruto heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's done!"
Naruto felt proud of his work.
"Gaara!"
"From today onwards you can get your perfect sleep…"
Naruto was happy for Gaara.
He then walked towards Hinata and carried her in his arms.
…
…
…
Naruto walked out of an alternative exit away for the evacuated crowd which was noticed by an ANBU agent.
The ANBU agent reported this development to Hiruzen.
"It's over then…" Hiruzen smiled.
("Naruto has performed meritorious service.")
Hiruzen turned towards Anko and the other examiners.
"Round up all the Jounins and the Genins."
"Conduct the tenth round, after which I will address the plans for the next stage in the hall."
"Yes!" The examiners and Anko replied together and dispersed.
…
…
…
Anko approached Baki.
"Hokage-sama requires you and your team's presence in the Tower Hall." She conveyed, after which she jumped towards another direction.
"It couldn't be…." Baki looked towards the Tower in disbelief.
("What will happen to the plan now…")
Temari and Kankuro approached Baki.
"Is everything all right?" Kankuro asked.
"They have called us in…" Baki replied.
Kankuro and Temari were shocked.
…
Soon everyone made their way in… including the medics and the injured ninjas.
Gaara finally gained consciousness and stared about.
Gai saw Gaara get up again as though the battle between him and his favorite disciple was one that had no significance at all.
Gai gritted his teeth and made his way to the medics.
…
"Naruto!"
"I want to meet you in my office after everything is over…" Hiruzen said in a low voice.
"Okay!" Naruto nodded and walked towards the direction of his team.
("Minato, your son has already become a splendid Ninja…")
("In places where the leaf dances, a fire burns…")
("The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village…")
Hiruzen thought as he watched Naruto's departing back.
….
"Are you the teacher of that young man?" A man in a white full body suit asked as he pointed towards Lee who was lying unconscious on the stretcher.
"Mm" Gai nodded
"The boy's body contains comminuted fractures and muscle tears to his entire body."
"recovery will likely take quite some time…." The medic ninja reported.
("This is the effect of forcefully opening all the way up to the fifth gate on the first try…") Gai thought.
"I advise a bed rest of minimum of two-three months accompanied by a lot of supplements and special recovery pills."
"No matter what, the boy should not even think about training in the first month."
"That is all!" The medical ninja concluded.
Gai bowed down to the medical ninja as he left the scene.
Meanwhile, Naruto watched the interaction from far.
("Super thick brows sensei should understand that it is the best possible outcome that could have happened to thick brows if he wanted to take on Gaara.")
("The previous one almost had an understanding of life after spending an entire month as a cripple…") Naruto thought about Lee back in the previous world as he nodded in approval.
….
"Gaara are you okay?" Kankuro asked with concern.
Gaara looked towards Kankuro and Temari.
…
Flashback - Chapter 40
"But soon, I met people who are very important to me now."
"I won't allow those important people to get hurt!"
Naruto said with anger in his eyes.
.
.
"They are the ones who saved me from the hell of being all alone."
"They accepted me for who I was."
"That's why…they are important to me!" Naruto concluded.
…
"Temari….Kankuro…"
"I'm sorry for everything before."
Kankuro and Temari looked at Gaara with wide eyes.
("What in the world just happen?")
Kankuro approached Gaara slowly and placed his hand on Gaara's shoulder.
"You have nothing to apologize for…"
Gaara lifted his face to see Kankuro with a bright smile across his face.
At this moment he knew that the man standing in front of him had genuinely cared about him.
("Thank you….")
A tear dropped from the side of his eye.
….
After a few minutes, everyone took their places by the standing area.
Hiruzen noticed this and approached the stage.
"The problem from earlier has now been settled."
"The last match will continue as per schedule!" Hiruzen announced after which Hayate took over.
…
Chouji knew at this point his time was up, since he was the only one remaining to face the sound guy.
He crouched down on his legs.
"I plan to forfeit," Chouji said.
"So that means…"
"You plan to forego all you can eat BBQ, too, then," Asuma said.
"What? Come on!" Chouji complained.
Asuma stepped beside Chouji and got on his knees as he said…
"Don't worry Chouji."
"If things start getting ugly…"
"I will step in and stop the fight for you just like the others did for Hinata. Okay?"
…
"Prime beef tongues, short ribs… You can eat whatever you want!" Asuma concluded.
As soon as Chouji hear the bet on the table…
He summoned his courage that was derived from the food menu he had imagined which powered him up to the extent that he started to burn with fighting intent.
"OOOOHHHHHH!!!!"
"B-B-Q!"
"B-B-Q"
"ALL YOU CAN EAT!" Chouji shouted while he cheered himself up.
….
Back on the stage…
"Then, the tenth and final round is next,"
"Both contestants come forward!" Hayate announced.
…
Chouji and Dosu both walked towards the center of the stage as they stared at each other.
("I'm gonna win and have some barbecued beef!") Chouji thought.
Meanwhile, Dosu thought ("In any case, I need to last until the main tournament and battle Sasuke.")
("Or I will not have met your expectations Orochimaru-sama…")
("I can almost see through it…")
("The reason you spared us the other day was that I was able to defeat Sasuke with just one technique. Now you are going to use me to test Sasuke once again to see if he has improved.")
("In other words, we were the guinea pigs to measure Sasuke's abilities during the examinations")
("What you wanted isn't Sasuke's life but Sasuke himself…")
("I was also taken for a fool…")
….
Hayate looked towards the two and then looked towards the center again, as he raised his hand.
"Now, let the tenth round begin."
