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.

Gamabunta blocked the attack with his giant sword, but the blow was too much, and it sent his weapon flying.

Five petals.

The Toad Lord saw the sand creature recovering from its landing. He could not get his sword back as it was now too far away.

But then, the sixth lotus petal appeared in the air above him, and Naruto began to move.

"Okay then…" The Toad Lord picked up his oil flask and drank as much as he could.

Naruto aimed his technique in Gaara's general direction. This was not a move that could easily be focused on one target, as it was designed to cause mass destruction. Although, the One-Tail was just big enough for the purpose.

Naruto performed a hand sign. His eyes shone as a pair of orange lanterns as energy swirled around his body. "Six Petals… Blazing Flame Lotus!"

The petals transformed into six whirlpools of flames before they all converged into a single one.

Gamabunta had to cover his head to protect himself from the heat. It felt like having the sun passing right above him.

Seeing the fire appear, he hurried to open the oil flask, took a good gulp, and got ready to take action.

The convergence of the six lotus petals created a colossal wave of fire that made its way to the One-Tail while it incinerated everything in its path.

"Fire Release!... shit!" The Toad Lord spat all the oil on the ground and got down while covering himself in a protective manner.

The fire passed at an incredible speed and impacted the sand creature, causing a great explosion that went on for several miles all around it.

"Ahhrg!" Gamabunta used both hands to shield his body from the intense heat.

Naruto was still standing on top of his head and was breathing heavily.

"Puff… that was tiresome… okay, Gamabunta. Go do your thing."

"My thing?..." The toad glanced up.

"Yes, you wanted fire… now what? What was your plan? Go ahead." Naruto pointed in the direction of the sand raccoon.

The smoke was starting to clear up a bit, but now a large part of the forest was on fire.

"I just asked you for a LITTLE BIT of fire, you damn human! I was going to use some oil to increase its potency!" Gamabunta shouted while pointing at the burning forest.

"What am I supposed to do with that!"

"Oh… well, you should have told me that beforehand. I would have used something less exhausting," Naruto told him.

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.
