Chapter 009: Ye Tian: I'll Give You This Bottle of True Dragon Blood!
Might Guy and Kakashi arrived together at a secluded forest in Konoha.
At this moment, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were training here.
"Naruto, come over here!"
Kakashi called out.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto walked over, already aware of the situation. After all, he had witnessed the conversation between Might Guy and his father, the Fourth Hokage.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails, sensing Might Guy and Kakashi's presence, was raging in the livestream.
[Nine-Tails: @Might Guy, are you really going to put the Beast Collar on me?]
[Nine-Tails: Minato, I beg you, I'll cooperate with your son's training, just don't put that collar on me!]
However, the Nine-Tails' pleas were ignored.
It was truly panicking!
The Golden List was so mysterious, and the Beast Collar awarded from it must be terrifying. It feared it wouldn't be able to withstand it.
If it weren't sealed, it might have been able to resist, but being trapped inside Naruto, it had no chance of escape.
...
"Guy, take out the Beast Collar."
Kakashi instructed.
Might Guy took out the Beast Collar and handed it to Kakashi.
"Sasuke, Sakura, step back!" Kakashi ordered.
Sakura and Sasuke, now aware of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, obediently retreated to a distance.
At this moment, Kakashi touched Naruto's seal with one hand, partially lifting it.
Boom!!!
The Nine-Tails' chakra began to leak, and Naruto's consciousness was overwhelmed by the beast's ferocious aura, twisting his entire demeanor.
One tail!
Two tails!
Three tails!
Tails emerged from Naruto's body, quickly manifesting into seven. The terrifying presence made Sasuke and Sakura, watching from afar, tremble uncontrollably.
"Naruto actually has such a terrifying creature inside him!"
Sakura shuddered, witnessing the Nine-Tails' terrifying power for the first time—power that could easily kill her countless times over.
Sasuke was also deeply moved. Even if his own strength increased tenfold, he wouldn't stand a chance against Naruto in this state.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails tried to break free from its seal and escape, but Kakashi wouldn't give it the opportunity.
"Beast Collar, go!"
The fiery red collar turned into a beam of light, fastening itself around the Nine-Tails' neck.
Then, the collar penetrated the Nine-Tails' soul.
Soon, a mark appeared on the beast's forehead, the emblem of the Beast Collar.
The collar reappeared, and the Nine-Tails' energy retreated back into its sealed space, while Naruto regained his consciousness.
Naruto caught the collar, and under Might Guy's guidance, he pricked his finger and began to bind it with his blood.
From now on, Naruto could use the collar to control the Nine-Tails.

Inside the Nine-Tails' sealed space.
The Nine-Tails roared in fury, "You guys, when I get out, I'll definitely kill you all!"
"Nine-Tails, you'd better behave! Haha, I'm your true master now, so you better listen to me!" Naruto's consciousness appeared in the sealed space, gloating.
"Bah! Why should I listen to a brat like you?" the Nine-Tails cursed.
"Kneel!"
Naruto commanded.
Boom!
The massive form of the Nine-Tails immediately knelt down.
"How... how is this possible?"
The Nine-Tails was dumbfounded. Just a mere genin, yet he could make it kneel with a single command.
Instantly, it realized the power of the Beast Collar.
"Ninetails, to be honest, this collar allows me to give any command, even making you harm yourself!" Naruto said.
"Ah!!!"
One of the Nine-Tails' tails turned into a drill and stabbed into a certain spot.
"Ah!!!"
The Nine-Tails cried out in pain.
"Ah, I was just saying it was possible, I didn't actually command you to do that!"
Naruto was taken aback.
The Nine-Tails repeated the action again.
"Please, stop saying that!" the Nine-Tails begged.
Naruto quickly realized the collar's power was indeed terrifying, though it seemed to take things literally.
"Will you cooperate with me in training from now on?" Naruto asked.
"Fine, from now on, you're the boss!"
The Nine-Tails conceded.
"Good, as long as you promise to cooperate, I won't use the collar again!" Naruto assured.
...
Golden List Livestream.
[Hashirama Senju: @Nine-Tails, how's the Beast Collar?]
[Nine-Tails: I don't want to talk about it!]
[Naruto: Hahaha, the Nine-Tails is my little brother now! Dad, the collar you gave me is amazing, but it's a pity it can only be used on one tailed beast.]
[Minato Namikaze: As long as it's useful, son. Train well with the Nine-Tails. If you master its power, reaching my level of strength shouldn't be a problem.]
[Eight-Tails: Nine-Tails, I didn't expect someone as proud as you to bow down one day.]
[Nine-Tails: Eight-Tails, how dare you mock me? You want to die?]
[Eight-Tails: Bring it on, I'm not afraid!]
At this moment, many people were curious about what the second list would be.
However, the next list wouldn't be revealed for ten days, so they had to wait.
Land of Fire.
On a mountain peak stood a courtyard.
A young man was lying on a deck chair in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a massive figure appeared, its body a deep red and one eye blind.
If the White Snake Sage were here, it would recognize this creature as Garaga.
And the young man was Ye Tian!
At this moment, Garaga had become one of Ye Tian's pets.
"Master!"
Garaga lay on the ground, respectfully.
"Garaga, how's your progress with the True Dragon Technique I taught you?" Ye Tian asked.
"Master, I've reached the second level!"
Garaga replied honestly.
"Not bad!" Ye Tian nodded slightly and handed Garaga a vial of blood.
"True Dragon Blood!!!"
Garaga was overjoyed.
Having seen the Golden List livestream, it knew what this was. Even the White Snake Sage greatly desired it, but its master had ignored the sage.
Now, its master was bestowing this True Dragon Blood upon it.
"Thank you, Master!"
Garaga was extremely excited.
"Go ahead and refine it. With your mastery of the second level of the True Dragon Technique and this True Dragon Blood, you have a ninety percent chance of evolving into a Flood Dragon. Once you become a Flood Dragon, your strength will undoubtedly rise to the Six Paths level, and you may even surpass the White Snake Sage."
Ye Tian spoke calmly.
"Rest assured, Master, I will strive to evolve into a Flood Dragon!"
Garaga promised.
Then, it carried the True Dragon Blood to its lair nearby.
Watching Garaga's departing figure, Ye Tian slowly recalled past events.
