Got it! Let's redo Chapter 9 with the correct focus:
All Zoids are Kurafuto's creations (no copies, no wild Zoids).
Trainers and offspring are present, but the main Zoids remain unique to him.
Include his first encounter with Konoha characters if needed for continuity.
Here's the rewritten Chapter 9:

Chapter 9 — The First Large-Scale Battle Outside Wave
Three years had passed since Kurafuto's first creations had matured. Now age 24, he stood atop Wave's castle walls, surveying the distant horizon. Beyond the borders of Wave, a small army was approaching. They were primitive, equipped with conventional weapons and beasts, unaware of the intelligence and power of Kurafuto's Zoids.
> "This is their first encounter with true creation," Kurafuto murmured, hands glowing with chakra. "All Zoids are mine, all offspring are trained, and all Trainers are ready."
---
Deployment of Zoids
Kurafuto's ten original Zoids, all unique, took their positions:
Drago — Western Dragon, Kage-level, wind and fire elemental attacks.
Quartos — Four-Headed Guardian, Jōnin-level, splits into four units.
Subtera — Tunnel Devourer, Jōnin-level, excels underground combat.
Hydranoid — Land/Water Serpent, adaptable, Chūnin-level.
Fifth Zoid — Land/Sea/Air Hybrid, versatile, Genin-level.
Stormbreaker — Thunderbird, lightning/wind attacks, Chūnin-level.
Terra Titan — Colossal Land Zoid, earth manipulation, Hashirama-level.
Abyssal Leviathan — Giant Aquatic Zoid, tidal manipulation, Jōnin-level.
Pyroclast Dragon — Volcanic Dragon, molten attacks, Chūnin-level.
Void Seraph — Shadow-Light Hybrid, stealth and reconnaissance, Genin-level.
Each Zoid was personally created by Kurafuto. There were no wild Zoids. The offspring of existing Zoids were now learning under the supervision of Trainers, integrating into formations and practicing combat maneuvers.

Ultimate Man-Beast Form in Action
Trainers took to the battlefield, demonstrating partial, man-beast, and ultimate man-beast forms:
Partial Zoid transformations: extending claws, tails, wings, or scales.
Man-beast form: humanoid Zoid features combined with human body.
Ultimate man-beast form: fully armored, humanoid Zoid bodies, peak synchronization.
Himeko and her bonded Zoid, Azure, demonstrated flawless ultimate man-beast form. Void Seraph tested the Trainers' adaptability, swooping and phasing through obstacles with perfect stealth.
> "Our bond is our strength," Kurafuto thought. "Each Trainer and Zoid moves as one unit."

Battle Commences
The enemy advanced, expecting an easy victory. Kurafuto raised his hands, signaling the Zoids to strike.
Drago unleashed fire and wind attacks, tearing apart enemy lines.
Stormbreaker rained lightning from above, disrupting formations.
Terra Titan stomped through the front, creating seismic shockwaves.
Subtera erupted from underground, devouring enemy cavalry.
Void Seraph phased through terrain, executing precise strikes on command centers.
Offspring Zoids followed instructions, smaller but intelligent and coordinated with their Trainers.
> "Even the youngest are capable," Kurafuto murmured. "Life itself is our greatest weapon."
---
Enemy Retreat and Victory
Overwhelmed by coordinated Zoid attacks and ultimate man-beast forms, the invading army began to flee. Void Seraph cut off stragglers silently, and Trainers guided offspring to block potential reinforcements.
Kurafuto observed the battlefield, satisfaction in his gaze:
All Zoids and Trainers were intact.
Offspring Zoids gained real combat experience.
Void Seraph confirmed the effectiveness of stealth, reconnaissance, and adaptability.
> "Wave's strength is absolute," Kurafuto said. "Our creations, our offspring, and our Trainers… together, nothing can challenge us."
---
Aftermath
As the sun set over Wave:
Trainers bonded with offspring Zoids, expanding their abilities.
Kurafuto planned future expansions, training programs, and defensive strategies.
Drago and the other main Zoids soared in formation, a testament to their unique creation and loyalty.
> "This is only the beginning," Kurafuto whispered. "Our bond, our life, and our power will shape the world."

If you want, I can continue with Chapter 10, where Kurafuto travels to Konoha again, formally meets Hashirama and Mito, and begins cross-village alliances while further scaling his Zoids and Trainers.
Do you want me to continue with that next?
