Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Tailed Beasts and the Zero Tails
The next step in his ascension was to control the Tailed Beasts. The nine mighty creatures that represented the greatest forms of chakra in the world. He had already conquered the first Six Tailed Beasts—the Shukaku, the Two-Tails, and others—but he still needed the most powerful ones.
Tetsuya's desire to collect all Tailed Beasts led him on a deadly path, where he defeated and absorbed them one by one:
One-Tail (Shukaku): A battle of titanic proportions allowed Tetsuya to defeat the host and bind Shukaku to his will. The Tailed Beast's sand powers became part of Tetsuya's arsenal.
Two-Tails (Matatabi): By defeating the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, Tetsuya obtained Matatabi's chakra and fire-based abilities, empowering him with blue flame control.
Three-Tails (Isobu): With his new Tenseigan, Tetsuya tracked down Isobu and sealed it within his own body. The powerful beast's abilities to manipulate water and create tsunamis were now his to command.
Four-Tails (Son Goku): After a brutal battle with the Four-Tails' Jinchuriki, Tetsuya gained control of the beast, harnessing its lava-based chakra for devastating attacks.
Five-Tails (Kokuo): The battle against Kokuo was fierce, but by absorbing its chakra, Tetsuya gained the ability to manipulate boiling water and create devastating steam-based attacks.
Six-Tails (Saiken): Tetsuya faced the Six-Tails, whose slime-based abilities posed a challenge. By mastering its unique chakra, Tetsuya gained the power to create acidic and corrosive liquid attacks.
Seven-Tails (Chomei): Tetsuya hunted down the Seven-Tails, gaining control of the insect-like creature and adding chakra-based insect control to his already formidable powers.
Eight-Tails (Gyuki): The Eight-Tails, a beast that controlled massive amounts of chakra, was one of the most difficult to subdue. But through his mastery of chakra and his now-enhanced abilities, Tetsuya successfully absorbed it, gaining the chakra of lightning and ink-based attacks.
Nine-Tails (Kurama): Finally, Tetsuya absorbed the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts. With it, he gained the ability to manipulate vast amounts of chakra, creating massive tail-based attacks and controlling vast spiritual energy.
