As for Jiraiya, he was never an opponent. His Senjutsu was barely a Sage Mode, thanks to the help of the sage elders.
His resourcefulness and his terrifying mastery of so many skills made him the legendary Sannin. The Sage Mode played a part too.
…
Minato could also not be compared with him as his chakra control was perfect but the quantity of his chakra was minute.
This made it inefficient, even difficult for Minato to use it in the long term battles. As that would quickly exhaust him of his reserves.
As Reko glanced at the transformed Nine-Tails still roaring and resisting, he put his right hand forward, a huge amount of chakra swirled around his palm before quickly forming into another giant Rasengan.
"Ahem? One is not sufficient, it appears."
Reko muttered as he dashed towards the Nine-Tails, aiming to destroy yet another tail.
This time, the Nine-Tails was already very distracted by the humiliating defeat and the damage it received was unbearable.
Reko easily sneaked up to another one of its tails before breaking it off with ease.
As he jumped back to a safe distance from the Nine-Tails, he glanced at Naruto and found that he was finally conscious, fully conscious.
"You imbecile!! Monster!!"
The Nine-Tails roared loudly, showing his unfathomable hatred, animosity for Reko.
If the half functional body of the fox could cry then it would have been dripping blood from those gigantic eyes.
Unfortunately for the Nine-Tails, it could only curse as it felt its control over the body faltering.
Naruto was fully conscious, not just resisting against the mind's corruption. He was wrestling with it for control of the fox's body.
"Monster? Me?"
Reko laughed as he pointed at himself and asked the tailed beast.
Was he really being called a monster by an actual monster?
For what reason? Because he destroyed the tails made of chakra?
"Come on, man up! You are the tailed beast here! The demon!"
Reko teased the Nine-Tails as he had a good laugh at it.
He could see the subtle difference in the movement of the giant body of Nine-Tails.
"Is he back in control?"
As he saw that the Nine-Tails was not retorting to his teasing, he thought that Naruto must have been snatching for control.
"Hey Naruto! Can you hear me? Curl your tail in question mark sign if you are able to hear me."
He loudly spoke as he prepared himself to fight another battle.
The face of the giant fox turned towards Reko, pausing for a second there.
Reko was kind of confused if it was really Naruto. But before he could say something, the mouth of the giant fox moved, forming words.
"Huh? That's very difficult. But I can hear you though. Believe it!"
Naruto spoke using the fox's body. He was in control of the giant fox and he was aware that the fox was slowly deconstructing into chakra.
The giant fox was difficult to control for him as it was his first time. He realised that forming the sign of a question mark would be very tough.
But he decided to try it out.
"Good to know. Let's fight then."
Reko relaxed as he heard Naruto speak. The tail of the giant fox was also comedically moving to form something resembling a question mark, bringing a chuckle to Reko's face.
Even Jiraiya and the two toad elders also had this itch to laugh at the very famous and strong tailed beast.
"This physique is really hard to control. I don't think it's suitable for me."
As Naruto saw Reko closing in for a battle, he quickly denied. The body was already hard to control, not to mention fight, he could barely run.
"Oh? I see."
Reko stopped for a second, his smile turning into a frown of disappointment.
He also realised that the fox body could only be maintained by the fox itself. Now that Naruto was in control, the body was deconstructing back into chakra.
'I cannot waste time, let's help him adapt to this sensation, this form.'
Thinking like that, Reko once again stepped forward. This time he intended to quickly turn Naruto back to normal.
And for that, he needed to beat up Naruto.
After five minutes of relentless punches, kicks, and tailgrabbing smashes, Reko finally stopped when there was no trace of the physical body of the fox on Naruto, only a very dense and aggressive ball of chakra.
"Try controlling the chakra and make it into a chakra cloak."
Reko instructed as he sat down outside under the influence of chakra.
"Chakra cloak?" Naruto asked, confused.
What was this chakra cloak supposed to be like? Wasn't he supposed to grow tails and control them?
Was there a change of plan?
"Clothes shaped, a suit, whatever you want to."
Reko did not beat around the bush and directly gave the answer.
The faster Naruto could understand, the better.
And at the moment, Naruto was not at all influenced by the Nine-Tails, making his control over the beast's chakra next level.
After hearing Reko's words, Naruto did not complicate it. He began to make a chakra cloak based on the clothes he was wearing.
"Yeah, better. Keep doing it."
Reko encouraged Naruto, the kid was really good at it. The amount of chakra he was controlling was already at the level of five tails, but instead of the tail it was all compressed into clothes.
Naruto meditated as he kept experimenting with the cloak.
"I did not expect you to be this domineering."
Jiraiya commented on Reko's battle just now.
"Don't you think that the Nine-Tails would hold animosity towards you?" He asked curiously. What did the young man think of the Nine-Tails? Was he not scared of revenge?
"Well, he might as well. What does it matter?"
Reko shrugged as he answered. What could he do? The Nine-Tails would not like a human anyways.
What did it matter if he was hated a little more by that guy?
"True. If you can subdue him like this without a Kekkei genkai on you then it is really not worth contemplating." One of the two elders on Jiraiya's shoulder made the comment. It was indeed very fascinating.
What did it matter if Reko was on the Nine-Tails top of the revenge list? Reko would be able to beat the beast into submission again.
