[Senju Hashirama: This is what true friendship looks like!]
[Uchiha Madara: They really are a good group of kids. But I have to admit, I didn't expect Naruto to reveal his identity so openly.]
[Senju Tobirama: If they had rejected Naruto because of that, they wouldn't have been worthy of this group in the first place. But let me guess, Makoto, you're planning to share the Nine-Tails' chakra with them next, aren't you?]
[Ito Makoto: Bingo.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Sniff... It's so wonderful that Naruto has so many friends! Minato! Did you see that?!]
[Namikaze Minato: Ah, yes, yes! I saw it! I totally saw it!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Minato! Can you please focus?! This is not the time to be replying to messages! You almost sent me to heaven just now!]
[Uchiha Madara: The hell is this idiot talking about?!]
[Uchiha Izuna: Yeah, what exactly are they doing?]
[Hyuga Hizashi: I just saw the two of them sneaking out of Konoha earlier. No clue where they went...]
[Senju Hashirama: Could it be... Could it be… Could it be… Could it be that the two of them went to skip stones just like Madara and me?!]
[Uchiha Madara: Shut up, you moron!!!]
[Senju Tobirama: …That does sound a little suspicious now that you've said it.]
[Yuhi Shinku: The critical moment…]
[Hatake Sakumo: Focus.…]
[Ito Makoto: Sent me to heaven…]
[Uchiha Mikoto: ...…]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato! Where the hell have you two been?!]
[Namikaze Minato: Fugaku! Why would you phrase it like that?! Do you even realize how weird that sounds?!]
[Namikaze Minato: Listen, all of you! We were just testing my Flying Thunder God Technique with Fugaku's Susanoo! The thing was too big, I lost control, and Fugaku almost ended up getting launched into the sky! There's nothing else going on! What exactly are you people imagining?!]
[Senju Tobirama: Ah… so that's what happened.]
[Uchiha Mikoto: ...…]
[Uzumaki Kushina: ...…]
Back in the real world, everyone was still reeling from Naruto's revelation. None of them had expected that the legendary host of the most powerful Tailed Beast had been right next to them all this time!
"But… Naruto," Shikamaru said, frowning. "The village normally keeps the identity of a Jinchūriki a secret. Are you sure it's okay for you to just tell us like this?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "It's fine! You guys are my friends. Even if you know, it's no big deal."
Then he added, "Besides, even if I didn't tell you… Makoto would probably show you anyway!"
At that, everyone turned to Makoto with puzzled expressions.
What did Naruto mean by that? Could it be… that Makoto was also a Jinchūriki? Did he have a Tailed Beast sealed inside him too?!
That thought flashed through everyone's minds.
Seeing their confused faces, Makoto chuckled.
"Remember when I told you all that I'd help you get stronger? That wasn't just talk."
His tone was calm, but his words sent a ripple through the group.
"I've already helped Sasuke and Naruto," Makoto continued. "During our mission in the Land of Waves."
He glanced at Sasuke and Naruto before revealing the truth. "Now, Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"And Naruto finally built a proper connection with the Nine-Tails inside him. Once he fully masters that power, he'll easily become one of the strongest in the world"
He smirked. "Actually, if Sasuke really goes all out even right now, he's already at Kage-level."
Everyone stared at Naruto and Sasuke in disbelief.
They knew those two had gotten stronger. They had seen the changes firsthand.
But this was insane.
Ino furrowed her brows, still struggling to understand. "But… Makoto, how exactly are you going to help us get stronger?"
She glanced at Naruto and Sasuke. "I mean, Naruto has a Tailed Beast, and Sasuke has his Kekkei Genkai. Their power-ups make sense."
She crossed her arms. "But the rest of us are already using almost everything our clans have taught us. If we don't focus on mastering our family techniques, won't it be hard for us to improve quickly?"
Makoto smiled at her concern and looked at the group.
"Simple. I'll guide your chakra into my sealed space and show you what a Tailed Beast really is."
Before they could even ask what he meant, Makoto placed his hands together and activated his ability.
In an instant, everyone's consciousness was drawn into his sealed space.
The moment they saw what was inside, their jaws dropped.
"…SO MANY!!!"
"They're HUGE!!!"
"THIS IS INSANE!!!"
"Damn, Tailed Beasts actually look kinda cool!"
"Wait... why are some of them smaller?! The little ones are kinda cute!"
"Makoto, are these the Tailed Beasts? One, two, three… nine… So these are all Nine-Tailed Foxes?"
"Hold on, that can't be right! The world is supposed to have only nine Tailed Beasts! Each with a different number of tails!"
"So why the hell do you have DOZENS of them inside your body, Makoto?!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
[Uchiha Madara: Hahahahaha!!! Look at these kids!they're completely shocked!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Honestly, I can't even blame them. If I hadn't seen how Makoto got all these Nine-Tailed Foxes, I'd be just as stunned.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: So… does this mean these kids are about to become Jinchuriki too?]
