He was not sure how he would fare against the five tails Naruto, but he sure was going to enjoy this fight.
The now five tails Naruto rushed at him, rushing would be wrong, it was an instantaneous movement, really fast.
Naruto or the nine tails who was now in control, stopped just a metre away from Reko, staring him into his eyes for an instant, contempt.
Using one of its tails as a pivot, it turned and hit Reko with the other four tails, smashing him far to the side.
Reko went away, crashing, skidding into the ground. This could not be defended against.
How could he? The size of the tails were almost double his size.
Cough!!
He stood up, coughing up blood from his mouth. A mouthful of blood.
"Ugh! That hurt badly!"
Wiping the blood off his lips, he decided to step up his game. Just him was not enough anymore. So, he would get some help.
"Shadow clone Jutsu!"
Just a single hand sign and there were Shadow Clones in front of him, ready to battle.
Nine tails however was not so patient to wait for Reko. He was already there, ready to attack again.
Two of the four clones rushed forward, one of them blocked or at least tried to block the swing of tails.
The clone created many earth walls in a second, separating them and the nine tails. But it was all futile, the walls crumbled like paper, and also dispelled the clone who tried to use super strength to attack the tails.
The clone lacked the necessary endurance and was dispelled, but not before stalling the attack for an instant.
The other clone began with his execution, a giant rasengan in his hands awaited the attack by nine tails.
Crash!
The attack pushed back the nine tails, stopping him in his tracks. But it also drained the clone which was dispelled after being crashed into one of the walls that the remaining two clones had made.
The remaining two clones had two kunai each. They shot the kunai at the nine tails which was easily swatted away by the latter.
Before the nine tails could dash again, both of the clones were already there, within a few inches.
Two giant Rasengan came smashing at the nine tails. Unprepared, the tailed beast was hit head on, putting it into a daze.
Finally, Naruto came to his senses and realised that he had lost control. Luckily, Reko seemed to have beat up the nine tails, weakening its control over his body.
"Ugh. I am sorry."
Naruto mumbled, his voice low yet held panic.
"It is okay. Are you in control now?"
Reko closed in, and stopped just a metre away from Naruto as he asked.
It appeared to him that Naruto was in control of the nine tails. He shook off the dust before using healing ninjutsu to remove the bruises from his body.
"Bbarely.."
Naruto answered, his body shaking as if another tail would pop up anytime soon.
He was not able to control the immense energy from the nine tails. The consciousness of that beast was overwhelming his senses and body.
[Disaster from inability to resolve a grudge.]
[Curse takes effect]
"Sage Mode"
Reko decided it was time. Five tails already seemed to be his limit in this form. He needed to gather chakra for the Sage Mode.
A few seconds passed, Jiraya watched as Naruto struggled to control the chakra from nine tails.
Reko on the other hand stood still, gathering nature energy for his Senjutsu.
"Done!"
He was ready. He managed to enter Sage Mode, ready to battle it out with the nine tails.
But he waited, not taking any action until Naruto fully lost it.
Roar!!!
"Hah! I expected this much."
Reko sighed. This was expected from him, there was no way Naruto would be able to manage that overwhelming chakra of the six tails.
He dashed, his speed unbelievable, lifting his leg, he kicked, his leg hit Naruto's now fox-like head.
Crack!
The skull-like thing that was beginning to form was cracked open.
The force of the kick was so strong that a big hole formed on the ground.
But the nine tails was not so weak anymore, the chakra made tails grabbed Reko's legs, planning to smash him into the ground for revenge.
However, Reko did not let the fox do it. Even though there existed a difference in size, he still used his fist to punch straight into the skull once more.
Boom!
The fox went in a daze for a moment, allowing Reko to get out of the hold with ease.
Just a second later, the fox growled once again. Humiliated, it began to form a dense ball of chakra in its mouth, the tailed beast bomb.
"You don't have anything left to show?"
Reko taunted but it had no effect, he could not attack now as that would destabilize the bomb, injuring everyone in the vicinity.
He waited. He did not stop the fox. He had his methods.
Finally, the fox saw that Reko had moved a little farther away from it. Not much but a few hundred metres.
It gave a human-like grin before shooting the bomb in Reko's direction.
'Should I step in? Those summoning walls would help.'
Jiraya looked at them from the side. He had wanted to interfere but Reko signalled him not to.
He was not worried since Reko had abilities connected to space. It would not take much for Reko to dodge the attack.
But as he kept watching, the bomb neared Reko but he did not move away or teleport.
Suddenly, the big dense ball of energy vanished. Empty sky. But a small figure of Reko remained there.
A second later, a big shockwave accompanied by a huge boom reached them from behind.
As Jiraya and the nine tails glanced in that direction. They saw the tailed beast bomb go off outside the valley, destroying the terrain, reshaping it.
Reko did not let the fox admire the prowess of its bomb. He appeared in front of the fox, punching it to the ground.
Before the fox could retaliate, Reko grabbed it by one of its tails and smashed it to the side.
Slam!!
Again Slam!!
One of the tails made way to his face, almost shattering his head, but Reko disappeared and appeared a meter to the left.
Once again the kicks and punches began raining on the fox.
