She couldn't wrap her head around it—how could Kazama, who wasn't a jinchūriki, transform into the One-Tail Shukaku?
While Kankurō and Temari stood there, stunned by Kazama's transformation, the Shukaku that Kazama had become was already locked in a fierce battle with Gaara's true Shukaku.
Sure, Gaara was the real jinchūriki of the One-Tail, but Kazama had somehow mastered all of Shukaku's powers.
After a few rounds, it was actually Gaara's Shukaku that started to falter.
On top of Shukaku's strength, Kazama also wielded six different *kinds of strange flames* within him. Even Shukaku's near-invincible defenses were getting scorched and battered by Kazama's flames.
"Damn you! You dare copy my look and make it *this* ugly? I'm gonna make you pay!" Gaara's Shukaku roared.
"Is this guy some kind of delinquent? Calling himself 'ore-sama' like that, what's with the attitude?" Kazama chuckled to himself, amused by Shukaku's trash talk.
"*Tailed Beast Ball!*"
While Kazama was snickering at Shukaku's tone, a massive *Tailed Beast Ball* came hurtling straight at him.
"Perfect timing! Let's see what kind of power I get from absorbing this!"
With that thought, Kazama stood his ground, letting the powerful *Tailed Beast Ball* slam right into him.
"Yoohoo! Direct hit! Die, you fake!"
Seeing the *Tailed Beast Ball* strike Kazama, Gaara's Shukaku danced with glee.
But what happened next left the cackling Shukaku frozen in place.
Not only did the *Tailed Beast Ball* fail to take Kazama down, but Kazama's Shukaku form *absorbed* it into his body.
*Ding! Congratulations, Host, for absorbing the One-Tail Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball! You have gained the power of the Two-Tails Matatabi! You can now transform into Matatabi's true form and use all of its abilities!*
*Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the sixth strange flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame! This flame is born in the eye of a fiery tornado, forming a blazing vortex that turns everything in its path into a sea of fire. It is the ultimate fusion of wind and fire, amplifying the Host's Wind Release techniques to their maximum potential!*
*Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Volcanic Stone Flame! This flame is the spirit of ancient volcanoes, forged through countless trials. It enhances the Host's defensive capabilities to the extreme, allowing their physical body alone to withstand a full-powered Tailed Beast attack!*
"Awesome! I never expected absorbing a single *Tailed Beast Ball* would give me *two* strange flames! At this rate, getting my hands on the Fallen Heart Flame is closer than ever!"
Kazama had thought gaining the Two-Tails' power was lucky enough, but scoring two new strange flames on top of that? His strength was skyrocketing like a rocket!
"Alright, let's see how you like *my* Tailed Beast Ball! Come on out, Two-Tails Matatabi!"
While Gaara's Shukaku was racking its brain, trying to figure out how to beat this impostor, Kazama suddenly transformed again—this time into Shukaku's old rival, the Two-Tails Matatabi!
"Orochimaru, you bastard! You went and made a Two-Tails Matatabi now?!"
The Third Hokage, still locked in combat with Orochimaru, caught sight of the Two-Tails appearing before Shukaku. Cold sweat poured down his face as he started yelling at Orochimaru.
"Hey, old man! Don't pin this on me! I've got no clue where this Two-Tails came from!"
Orochimaru was already thrown off by the appearance of *two* Shukakus. Now, with a Two-Tails Matatabi showing up, he was starting to think this place was too dangerous to stick around.
If a Three-Tails or Four-Tails showed up next… forget Konoha, *he'd* be the one buried here!
