Chapter 400 The Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox (Part 5)
Nine-Tails' actions once again drew everyone's attention, but Yangping didn't want to continue to bear the distrustful eyes of his companions; he wanted to prove everything with his actions.
He teleported straight toward the Nine-Tails, the three black tomoe in his eyes spinning wildly, instantly connecting and transforming!
Mangekyou Sharingan, awaken!
A powerful burst of chakra erupted, rapidly materializing and solidifying around him.
Susanoo!
"The Uchiha haven't betrayed us, I'll go stop them!"
With this resolute roar, a half-skeletal samurai giant, over twenty meters tall, clad in simple energy armor and wielding a huge energy katana, stood majestically in the center of the battlefield, blocking the Nine-Tails from Konoha Village!
"Yohei!" Fugaku exclaimed in shock, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest. He knew all too well what activating Susanoo, especially activating the Mangekyou Sharingan in such a reckless manner, meant for Yohei's eyes and body! It was draining his life force and ocular power!
"Look carefully! My eyes are different from those of that beast!"
Yangping's voice reverberated through the vibrations of Susanoo. He controlled the massive Susanoo and fiercely raised the huge purplish-black energy katana, slashing at the approaching Nine-Tails.
"Stop right there!!!"
However, Yang Ping's full-force attack, which was enough to make even a Kage-level expert retreat, only resulted in an even more violent roar when it landed on the Nine-Tails' enormous body!
clang-!!!
The claws clashed, creating a deafening roar, but the attack only forced the Nine-Tails to take a slight step back.
The Susanoo giant was forced to retreat repeatedly by the shockwave.
"roar!!!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's beastly eyes, burning with hatred, suddenly blazed with ferocity, as if it had been completely enraged by the provocation of this "ant"!
A massive orange-red tail, like a towering pillar, wrapped in tangible dark red chakra, lashed fiercely at the purplish-black skeletal giant blocking its path!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
An unimaginable force erupted!
Before that absolute power, Yangping's Susanoo was as fragile as a sandcastle! The massive half-skull was like being hit head-on by a battering ram, flying uncontrollably backward and crashing heavily into the chaotic ruins behind it!
boom!!!
"Captain Yangping!"
"The Uchiha clan—"
Even Susanoo—
The Susanoo giant, which had been sent flying backward, struggled to its feet and once again charged forward fearlessly to block the Nine-Tails' advance.
Having experienced a head-on confrontation, Yangping no longer resorted to direct confrontation and instead engaged in prolonged combat whenever possible. Even so, he was still forced to retreat step by step.
"It wasn't him."
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice clearly reached the ears of every Konoha ninja.
"The Sharingan pattern controlling the Nine-Tails is completely different from Yohei's Mangekyou Sharingan. The enemy is deliberately using the Sharingan to create chaos and sow discord among the Konoha ninja! Don't fall for their tricks!"
The Third Hokage's words were like the sun breaking through the clouds, temporarily dispelling the dark clouds hanging over the Uchiha clan.
In fact, the Third Hokage knew that this must have been the work of "Uchiha Madara," but this information was still classified and not suitable for everyone to know.
Now that Uchiha Yohei can prove his innocence, he is happy to explain things to them.
Fugaku glanced gratefully at the Third Hokage, then shouted sternly to his clansmen and the surrounding ninjas, "Did you hear me! Sons of the Uchiha! Follow me to stop the enemy! Prove our innocence with your actions!"
"Yes!" The Uchiha ninjas roared in unison, their suppressed humiliation instantly transforming into boiling fighting spirit. The light of their fire-style attacks shone brightly once more, shooting towards the Nine-Tails.
However, even the most uplifting spirits pale in comparison to the absolute gap in power.
Just as the defense line was about to be breached.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Five huge plumes of white smoke exploded simultaneously with a muffled bang! Thick white smoke instantly filled a large area, obscuring visibility.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling hissing sound emerged from the smoke!
As the smoke dissipated, five terrifying giant snakes, each over forty meters long and with scales shimmering with a cold metallic luster, appeared on the battlefield!
It was Orochimaru! He had arrived silently at some point, standing atop the towering head of one of the giant snakes, his golden snake eyes fixed on the Nine-Tails, his pale face expressionless, only filled with a chilling killing intent.
"Keep it entangled! At all costs!"
Orochimaru's voice was unusually calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
hiss!
The five giant snakes simultaneously let out a deafening hiss, and their massive bodies shot out with incredible speed, leaving behind afterimages!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull thuds of impact continued unabated! Although the giant snake's coiling and impacts could not truly injure the Nine-Tails, the immense force of the impact did indeed interfere with its movements!
Ow! ! !
The nine-tailed snake roared in extreme rage! It thrashed its head wildly, biting, clawing, and whipping its tail. Even the giant snake gradually succumbed to this brutal attack.
puff!
With a swift swipe of its claws, blood splattered everywhere! The giant snake that had bitten the nine-tailed serpent's forelimb had its tough scales torn apart like paper, and half of its head was smashed to pieces. The headless snake convulsed violently, yet it still instinctively clung tightly to the nine-tailed serpent's forelimb!
Once it starts, it starts again. The giant serpent's blood greatly stimulated the Nine-Tails' wildness, and its attacks became even more frenzied. Despite being surrounded by the Susanoo Giant and the summoned giant serpent, it still gained the upper hand.
The second one.
The third one.
The fourth one.
Even the Susanoo giant was already badly injured and was on the verge of collapsing and dissipating.
Orochimaru stood atop the head of the only remaining, relatively intact giant snake, his golden snake eyes coldly sweeping over the heavily damaged summoned beast. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only filled with icy calculation.
He formed hand seals again, preparing to summon new combat power. However, the Nine-Tails had clearly lost all patience.
It suddenly roared to the sky, shattering the clouds, and a violent chakra shockwave spread out like a tsunami.
It no longer wanted to linger, so it took the opportunity to leap backward and escape the battle, while its mouth opened wide, and a huge amount of chakra condensed in front of its mouth.
This is to release the Tailed Beast Ball.
High-density, destructive energy is being compressed, expanded, and rotated at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting terrifying fluctuations that send shivers down one's spine.
The air was torn apart, emitting a shrill scream of unbearable pressure, and the earth groaned and cracked under its weight.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood with his beard and hair bristling. He planted one end of his Vajra Staff on the ground and aimed the other end at Kurama (the Nine-Tails), intending to deliver another earth-shattering blow. Unfortunately, Kurama easily dodged it.
Orochimaru stood atop the remaining giant snake's head, his golden snake eyes fixed on the world-destroying sphere that was about to take shape. His hand seals were complete, and swathes of earth turned into mud, as he tried to stop the Nine-Tails from continuing to gather its power.
Yangping controlled Susanoo, and the surging fire jutsu rolled towards the Nine-Tails. Unfortunately, both his chakra and eye power were over-consumed, and the power of the fire jutsu only burned a small part of the Nine-Tails' fur.
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Is it finished?
This Tailed Beast Ball is enough to destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
In that critical moment, when all was silent and even the air seemed to freeze!
A dazzling streak of light tore through the heavy night sky in the direction of Konoha Village!
The light was so swift, like a falling star, trailing a long flame, descending from the sky with an indomitable momentum, and locking onto the Nine-Tailed Fox's proud head with unparalleled precision!
"roar?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to sense the extremely threatening energy fluctuations as well, its scarlet beast eyes instinctively turning as it tried to see who was coming.
However, it was too late!
The speed of that streak of light surpassed the limits of thought!
"Super·Otama Rasengan!!!"
A cold, resolute voice boomed through the night sky like a thunderclap!
An energy ball, growing ever larger, crashed down like a meteor!
Boom!!!
A deafening roar that defies description! It was as if the heavens had been ripped open!
Snap!
A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out, not from the skull shattering, but from the violent destruction of a highly condensed chakra structure!
The tailed beast ball that was about to take shape in Kurama's mouth twisted and collapsed violently like a punctured balloon. Finally, with a muffled explosion, it turned into countless uncontrolled chakra turbulences that exploded violently around Kurama's mouth and on its head!
"Awooo!!!"
A deafening roar of pain echoed through the sky! The Nine-Tailed Fox's massive body was slammed into the ground, causing it to stagger. Its enormous head plummeted downwards and slammed into the ground!
Smoke and dust mixed with chakra turbulence shot into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud!
The shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, reshaping the already ravaged ground once again.
The Konoha ninjas who were closer were blown about, but there was no fear in their eyes, only the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and the unbelievable shock!
"That's—Lord Taiichi!"
"The White Reaper! The White Reaper has arrived!!"
"We're saved! We're saved!!"
Cheers and shouts instantly shattered the deathly silence.
The figure hovering in mid-air, surrounded by the glow of chakra, was like a pillar of strength, instantly dispelling all despair!
Taichi Matsushita has finally arrived!
"Roar! Ro ...
Nine-Tailed Fox swung its head violently, sending mud and gravel flying. Its massive head rose, and its blood-red beast eyes now held a hint of bewilderment.
The kaleidoscope pattern that was clearly reflected in his eyes vanished and disappeared rapidly like melting ice under the heavy blow of Taiichi's Rasengan.
The illusion control was forcibly interrupted.
However, Nine-Tails is still Nine-Tails, and the immense pain immediately awakened its bestial instincts.
"Damn it—Konoha ninjas."
The Nine-Tails let out a deafening roar, its voice filled not only with rage but also with a hint of humiliation at being fooled and a deeper hatred.
"It's you again! It's you damned Konoha ninjas! And that evil Uchiha! I will never forgive you!"
This was the first time the Nine-Tails had spoken since its appearance.
It realized its current predicament. Although it had broken free from control, its pent-up anger and resentment from being imprisoned for so long finally erupted.
Instead of gathering the Tailed Beast Ball, it unleashed all its fury upon the enemy before it and the ground beneath its feet.
The enormous claws rose, carrying immense force, and slammed down on Taiyi in mid-air.
At the same time, the nine giant tails, like burning flaming whips, lashed violently at the surrounding Konoha defenses and ruins with destructive power!
"Scatter!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared hoarsely.
The nearby Konoha ninjas instantly retreated, but Taiichi was not among them.
Instead of retreating, he flew straight towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
During the flight, his hands quickly formed hand seals.
Yin Seal - Release.
The surging chakra flashed across the surface of his body and was quickly contained within.
Sage Mode - Activated.
A golden light gradually emerged in his eyes, standing out strikingly against the dark background.
Sage Art: Water Release: Water Gun!
Taiichi completed the final hand seals in front of his chest, and his Sage Chakra rapidly transformed into its water attribute, quickly condensing and compressing in front of him.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a series of short, deadly sharp whistles cutting through the air!
One after another, enormous, high-pressure water jets, condensed to the extreme, shot out from around Taiyi, carrying immense kinetic energy and astonishing speed.
Their target was not the Nine-Tailed Fox's vital points, but rather to precisely strike the joints of its giant claws, the base of its massive tail, and the points of support for its enormous body as it moved!
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
Each strike sent the Nine-Tails staggering backward, its massive form constantly being forced to retreat.
It wasn't that the Nine-Tails didn't want to fight back, but unfortunately, the Water Gun's speed and attack density far exceeded its ability to cope.
More importantly, these water-based attacks really hurt. Although each one wasn't as powerful as the Vajra Ruyi Staff that had previously sent it flying, it was still hard for it to bear. The key point is that there were so many of them.
The barrage of attacks, one after another, left the Nine-Tails completely defenseless.
"Wow—so strong!" A Jonin, looking at the Nine-Tails who was being beaten so badly he couldn't fight back, had fanatical admiration in his eyes. "Is this the power of Lord Taiichi?"
"Don't stand there! Cooperate with Taiichi and force the Nine-Tails away from the village!" Orochimaru's calm voice rang out. He controlled the last remaining giant snake and fearlessly rammed its head into the Nine-Tails, further disrupting the Nine-Tails' balance.
Yangping struggled to stand up again, but Fugaku held him down firmly.
"Enough! Yangping! Your eyes!"
Fugaku spoke in a rare commanding tone, his eyes filled with deep worry.
Looking at the god-like figure in the sky, Yang Ping felt the burning pain in his eyes. Finally, he let out a low roar in resentment and gave up the idea of forcibly activating his pupil power.
Taiyi's figure nimbly darted and dodged in the air, dodging the occasional attacks that the Nine-Tails lashed out at him.
While continuing to suppress the Nine-Tails, he consciously moved away from Konoha Village, constantly bombarding the Nine-Tails' sides and rear with water cannons to force it to turn.
"You ant! You deserve to die!"
It roared, and its massive body, guided by Taiichi and "driven" by a barrage of water cannons, began to move step by step, unwillingly, away from the vicinity of Konoha Village.
Every attempt to counterattack was met with several, or even a dozen, precise shots from water cannons hitting the joints or points of leverage, distorting the movements and forcibly dissipating most of the power.
The Konoha ninjas were utterly shocked by what they saw.
The world-destroying beasts that they could barely harass and slow down with their lives, were actually driven away from their home by Taiyi, just like wild animals being led by invisible reins!
"Water Release—it can actually reach this level?!" A Jonin who was also skilled in Water Release was dumbfounded, feeling that all his life's learning had become a joke.
"It's not just water magic, it's sage art! It's also a comprehensive toolkit for Taiyi's abilities."
Orochimaru gazed at Taiichi in the sky, feeling the subtle chakra manipulation and profound nature transformation, his voice filled with envy.
Finally, thanks to Taiichi's relentless efforts, the Nine-Tails was successfully lured to a wide-open wasteland far enough away from Konoha Village. Here, far from human habitation, it was safe to act with impunity!
