Every moment Naruko's senses reached farther and farther as she tore through the land at top speed. Chakra leaked out of her pores cracking the ground with every step she shook, yet her eyes simply stared forward. 'Faster.' Her thoughts did not race, but instead, there was simple determination. She had to be faster, so she went faster, and faster, and faster. Every moment her speed rose, and with it so did her chakra. At some point, her eyes turned red and slitted, and as time passed she slowly gained a red cloak around her, and then one tail, two, three, and then four. Faster and faster she tore through the northern part of Fire Country. 'Kurama! Prepare yourself.' 'Mphm. You humans, always need numbers, surprise attacks, and tricks. I'm always ready to fight.'
Naruko didn't comment on the darkness and hatred that surged forward with his words, and instead simply continued to rush forward towards Takigakure, before as her chakra surged even higher - as if she had unlimited reserve she could constantly grow and grab from, Naruko's senses stretched far enough. 'Kurama! Purify as much Chakra as you can and link it with me.' Following her words and piggybacking on her senses a feral growl was barely heard throughout her head. 'On it.'
The red chakra cloak receded revealing regular Naruko, before golden sparks appeared all across Narukos body, before disappearing. All across her body golden chakra would consume her, before flickering back out of existence, as if it were unstable. 'Oy! Now is not the time to have performance anxiety, y'know?!' 'Shut up! I'm doing something!' With that roar that erupted from Kurama, the chakra that was flickering in and out of existence exploded, and all of a sudden Naruko found herself floating in mid-air as a titanic chakra construct lifted her. 'Keep going while I stabilize this!'
Naruko felt her mind expand. Her entire body was connected to this gigantic blob of a chakra avatar - each of its nine blobby tails, and the almost slug-like body that didn't even have legs. 'Blaim the seal! I'm working on the legs.' An eyebrow that was seemingly made out of golden chakra with hints of a dark red at the edge rose on Naruko's face before she shook her head and continued to surge forward, yet, even to her eyes it seemed like she was a mere blur. 'How much faster?!' The difference was absurd - perhaps, only now, did she realize that sheer difference in speed Naruto had first felt when he entered KCM form first. 'Mhpm. Now you realize how much this seal is holding back my Chakra. Tch. Now hold on, legs will be coming soon!'
Indeed, he was right, as a moment later this amorphous slime-chakra-fox gained four legs, and a second later they were in motion as she rapidly ran across the ground tearing through and even slurping around trees when necessary. 'Alright! Now run! All I can do is run and hope I get there in time!'
Inside the seal titanic tails thwapped against the bars, the water level inside slowly rising as the titanic fox's eyes showed intense concentration. Chakra slowly leaked from his form, red, nearly black in color, before as it reached the bars it would slowly turn golden, with only a hint of dark red at the edge of chakra that seeped out of the seal, almost as if it was a flickering flame that refused to go out.
"Damn seal. Tch, no matter if it's Chomei in trouble, I don't truly feel enough panic to circumvent these binds even more. The seal isn't loose enough to use a true merge, and my conviction isn't high enough to do that half-merge we did against the Otsutsuki. After all, it's not like Chomei is in true trouble." His titanic head shook, a heavy sigh escaping from Kurama. "This is the best I can do Chomei. Feel lucky, if it was the others I would have just ignored them. After all... it's just these vile humans doing what they always do."
His eyes closed, chakra still seeping out of him as he instead focused on purifying it, separating his nigh-infinite malice and hatred away from what made up his very essence, before sending it through the seal.
-(Merging two chapters here!)-
Four blobby orange titanic legs bounded throughout the lands, the strange chakra body jiggling with every movement, and yet - despite its strange shape and titanic size there was only one thing you could describe it as, fast. Unfathomably fast. A civilian - nay even the vast majority of Shinobi would not even be able to see the titanic figure that was how fast it was. One moment there was just ordinary forest - and the next it was completely decimated with no sign of how it happened, this could be seen multiple times and was reported by many panicked civilians.
Yet, at this moment Naruko didn't care or even think about that. 'C'mon Kurama! Fight through the seal.' 'I don't see YOU doing it!' 'Fine! I will then!' 'Wha-' With a thought her consciousness tunneled into the seal, and she slammed her hand directly into the gigantic pool of chakra that was leaving the seal. "You take control you fox! Clearly, your chakra control needs some work."
"How dare yo- wait, how are you doing that?!" Within seconds of Naruko slamming her fist into the pool of chakra, in the real world the amorphous chakra avatar turned into a figure perfectly representing a glowing orange see-through Kurama. From the rippling fur, the whiskers, the swaying tails - it would have been perfect down to the most basic of details if not for the fact it was glowing orange and see-through.
"Now come on then! Start running, or is piloting a human body too demeaning for you?"
"Tch."
Naruko's body and the chakra avatar that had temporarily stalled started to bound forward once more. Whereas Naruko when in control took at least a little care to not absolutely decimate the surroundings, Kurama - well, did not. 'This property damage is getting paid by YOU!' She got no response besides a huff.
Time passed as they sprinted across the land, before as they got closer and closer - neither of them spoke but instead sped up. With every step in the real world, inside of the seal, the water level rose, but neither of them commented on it - too focused on the goal of going faster, both of them sensing the same thing.
Then - they felt. "RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!" Out of the Kurama avatar's lips came a titanic roar. The clouds in the sky disappeared, and the trees in front of them evaporated. A hissing buzzing voice echoed throughout both of their heads, the desperation and panic causing the water levels in her seal to roil, 'Kurama! Please! HELP!'
With a single leap, they passed through dozens of miles, space warping around them as a Tri-Pronged Kunai embedded into the tip of one of the chakra tails constantly lashed forward. In a mere fraction of a second, they appeared above a forest, and the sheer might of their chakra caused the trees to begin to buckle. Then the shockwave from their roar a moment later hit the forest, and as the soundwaves rocketed throughout the forest, PLOPs could be heard as shinobi after shinobi dropped to the ground dead, even before their chakra could do the job. Their tails splayed out, and as they did a shockwave erupted turning the trees to ash.
One tail scooped up Fu, causing the exhausted, battered, and skewered body to sink into the golden chakra tail that flickered with a violent red. With a gentleness neither of them usually possessed, the tail soared through the air before depositing Fu into the forehead of the Kurama avatar. Naruko's body shifted slightly, her head turning towards the unconscious - possibly even dead body of Fu. "Sleep Chomei. Your Jinchuriki will be fine." A deep wrathful masculine voice echoed out of her body, then swiftly followed by Naruko's usual one.
"Yeah! Kurama and I got this, y'know? Don't worry, Fu will be fine, and we'll kill all those Kumo Shinobi for daring to touch my lil' sis!" The exhausted chakra presence within Fu at this moment faded, falling into a slumber. 'Sick em Kurama.'
'Obviously brat! Don't they know only I'M allowed to kill Chomei?!' The Chakra Avatar's muzzle opened, and white and black motes of chakra began to gather above it, and a rapidly forming purplish black ball began to grow. The size of a baseball. A basketball. Larger, and larger, and larger. Then - it grew to a hundred-meter diameter.
-Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage-
His eyes widened, breath halting for a second. Before with a sudden movement he stood up, as he did so chakra flaring in response the ground around him cracking, the seal-reinforced walls and flooring buckling. The aged Kage's hands blurred, and before even a Jonin could think the letter 'A' there was a puff of smoke, the famed Adamantine Staff in his hand. With no words spoken between them thousands upon thousands of versions of the staff soared out of the office forming a massive cage - one that covered the entirety of Konoha.
Yes, he sensed Naruko's chakra. He sensed what was practically his granddaughter's Chakra, the one who had gone missing for a few days - albeit one that his Commander had presumably had eyes on. But he also sensed the Kyuubi's chakra. He knew that formation of Chakra - intimately. He would also remember that feeling, so like the Rasengan, but so much more.
-Onoki, Sandaime Tsuchikage-
Unlike Hiruzen, Onoki went through no hand signs, but his reaction was just as swift. One moment he was inside of his office complaining to his secretary, the next he was floating above Iwa his hands together as a titanic white box could be seen, his eyes narrowed and concentrated as he awaited and prepared. If what he sensed came to his village, it would be stopped.
-Rasa Subaku, Yondaime Kazekage-
Golden Sand moved around him as he batted away the regular sand that came from his son. His hands were behind his back as the golden sand moved on its own accord, matching and beating back his son with a lesser amount of sand and chakra. That was how he taught Gaara - through actions, not words. Rasa showed how to do something, not explain it. There was no need to with something so instinctive as sand control too Gaara.
Yet, it was in the midst of this 'spar' that all of a sudden strange golden markings appeared all over Rasa's face, his hands slamming forward as a titanic golden dome rose up from the ground and in a fraction of a second covered the entirety of Sunagakure, the same strange golden markings spread throughout the golden dome. "Gaara, prepare another barrier."
With a confused look on his face, Gaara nodded. "Yes, father." Raising his hands Gaara's pupils turned crossed and golden, with stars dotting each corner of his eyes, and at his command the desert responded, another dome appearing under his father's. 'Ohohohoho! That filthy fox is angryyyyyy~'
-Yagura Karatachi, Yondaime Mizukage-
Standing on the ocean staring down the Raikage and his forces, Yagura's lips twitched. "Well, I suppose you should hope that's not going towards your village Raikage-dono." Seeing the veins bursting atop the Raikage's heads, and the confused look from both armies, Yagura let out an amused chuckle before 'hooking' the air with his staff, a watery mirror appearing in the air in the direction of the amassing chakra - which also incidentally happened to be in the way of the Kumogakure army. "Perhaps you should instead hope in fact it's not coming to Kiri?"
-Killer Bee, Rap God-
Sitting on top of a mountain humming to himself he would spout out, "Yo yo Eight-o. How does this one sound?"
"I'm sleeping Bee! Damn it!"
"Listen eight-o this beat is fly, ya feel? It goes like th-" Killer Bee paused, eyes narrowing. "Eight-o time to go!"
"On it Bee!"
Out of nowhere eight titanic tentacles grew out of Bee's back, before he grew, and grew, and grew. The mountain he was on began to be crushed as the majestic form of Gyuki the Eight-Tailed Beast emerged. His voice roared out, "KUMO! TO THE BUNKERS, NOW!"
His tentacles flexed and he lunged forward leaping from the mountain and over the entirety of Kumo, directly putting himself in the path of the surging chakra. 'I said that plan was a horrible idea, Bee!' 'Yo! So did I Eight-o, but bro was stressing.'
Both of them stopped their internal communication as the chakra surged once more before halting for a second.
Then, it came.
A searing heat spread across Gyuki's body as a heavy pressure pulsed on him. His titanic eyes spotted the oncoming Bijuudama it was of a size only three of the Bijuu could do. Kurama. Chomei. Then himself. Yet, he did not have time to prepare his own - and so he did the only thing he could do.
His eight-great tentacled tails surged forward piercing towards the Bijuudama.
They collided, and pain surged across his body, yet both Gyuki and Killer Bee continued onwards - pushing and pushing. Their body slowly slid back, but they continued doing their best. Then.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
An explosion engulfed them.
Less than five minutes had passed since the death of Black Zetsu, and now - the life and death of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuriki Killer Bee - was now unknown!
