Chapter 612: The Ten-Tails Revives
Under the Fourth Raikage's fierce assault, the Kumo ninja quickly stabilized.
The enemy numbered in the tens of thousands, perhaps over a hundred thousand. Kumo had hastily gathered less than 5,000 ninja. The number of combatants was completely disproportionate. But after restoring some order, the number of White Zetsu killed by Kumo ninja began to slowly increase.
The female Jonin secretary, Mabui, having ripped off her skirt and kicked off her high heels on the way, ran over, covered in blood.
"Quick, send a message to Konoha! We need support! Tell those Flying Thunder God users to get over here now!" The Fourth Raikage didn't lower his voice, maintaining his usual booming tone.
As expected, hearing that reinforcements were coming, the Kumo ninjas' morale visibly surged.
The Fourth Raikage's arm, thicker than a normal person's thigh, shot out, grabbing a White Zetsu. His five fingers squeezed, crushing its neck.
"Teleport this too. Let them study what the hell this thing is. Go!"
Mabui possessed a secret jutsu called the "Heavenly Transfer Technique," which could teleport any object to a designated location.
The female secretary nodded firmly, grabbed the Zetsu's corpse, and ran back.
"Looking for reinforcements?" Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared behind her. Mabui twisted her waist and, without looking, delivered a roundhouse kick.
Her strength was impressive, and the angle of the kick was perfect, but the gap in power between her and Madara was too vast.
"Let me teach you how to fight." Madara blocked the kick with his shoulder armor. His right hand clenched into a fist and struck Mabui hard in the abdomen.
The female Jonin secretary felt as if she'd been hit head-on by the Eight-Tails. "Wa!" She spat out a large mouthful of blood. Madara sneered and, forming a knife-hand, thrust at her exposed neck.
"Bastard! Do you think I'm not here?" The Fourth Raikage roared, smashing through a dozen White Zetsu like a cannonball. Using his height advantage, he raised his arm in the "Liger Bomb" stance, charging at Madara at extreme speed.
"Another brute. Do you wish to dance, too?!" Seeing this taijutsu master reminded Madara of Might Guy. He ignored Mabui, activated his Rinnegan, and leaped high, gracefully dodging the Raikage's Liger Bomb.
As he jumped, he snatched a katana from a nearby Kumo ninja and, with a reverse grip, stabbed down toward the Raikage's head.
The Fourth Raikage was powerful, but in front of the Rinnegan, his boasted speed wasn't that fast. Strength? Madara's was just as great. Martial arts? Ninjutsu? Combat experience? He had no advantage.
After ten exchanges, the Fourth Raikage, even pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit, inevitably fell into a disadvantage.
"Brother! I'll help you!" The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, ignored the restraints of nearby ninja and drew his swords, charging Madara.
Madara laughed arrogantly, "I've been waiting for you!"
"Bee! You idiot! He's trying to lure you out! Don't you know?" It was only because Madara's pressure was too great; normally, the Raikage would have slammed Bee to the ground and thrashed him.
"Yo, say ho! Know who I am? I'm Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails! Brothers together, Ho!" Killer Bee drew his ninja swords and, moving to a strange rhythm, charged in like a whirlwind, slashing wildly at Madara.
The Raikage cursed "idiot" twice, but he couldn't watch his brother die. The two brothers had to fight Madara together.
Killer Bee rapped as he fought. In the distance, someone was cheering him on: his idol, the rap master who wielded a giant axe, Master Sabu.
Master Sabu also seemed to see Kumo's dire situation. The short old man stood atop the giant raccoon "Ponta" singing and cheering for everyone.
Killer Bee's "Seven-Sword Style" against Sasuke was easy and fun; it could make Sasuke doubt his life. But against Madara, he was no match.
Even with a musical buff, they couldn't offset the power gap. The two brothers, despite their perfect coordination, were still suppressed.
Madara smashed an elbow into Bee's face, spun halfway, and kicked away the "A-B Combo." Even mid-fight, he had the leisure to observe the field. Seeing the situation fall completely into his plan, he activated his next move.
"Summoning: Gedo Statue!"
Back then, summoning the Gedo Statue nearly drained Nagato dry. Madara performed the same action with practiced ease.
Using just over ten percent of his chakra, he summoned the Gedo Statue from its secret base to the battlefield.
"What is that thing?!" Killer Bee forgot about rapping. He instinctively turned, his face horrified. It wasn't just him; inside him, the Eight-Tails, Gyūki, also looked like doom was imminent.
The Gedo Statue was no longer an immobile wooden carving. Its chakra weak points were the Seven, Eight, and Nine-Tails. The Seven-Tails chakra came from the previous Jinchuriki's corpse, the Eight-Tails from Gyūki's horn, and the Nine-Tails from Mecha-Naruto. The amounts were all relatively small.
Forcing the Ten-Tails to revive now would be like walking with a limp.
The Ten-Tails chakra from Toneri filled some of that gap. Madara now released all of the Gedo Statue's restraints, allowing it to revive in an incomplete form.
"ROOOAR—!" The Gedo Statue let out an inhuman roar. It crouched, opened its mouth, and spat out a dragon-shaped vapor. All life in the attack's fan-shaped path, whether Kumo ninja or White Zetsu, had their souls extracted. Their chakra became food, devoured by the Gedo Statue.
The giant monster let out a burp. A vicious aura permeated Kumogakure. The ten branch-like pillars on its back, nourished by the chakra, began to grow rapidly, soon becoming ten winding, coiling tails.
The Gedo Statue's nine eyes vanished, merging into a single, giant, crimson Rinne-Sharingan, with six tomoe inside.
Even in its incomplete form, the Ten-Tails had revived in Kumogakure!
Killer Bee, the closest, was entangled by three snake-like tails. He slashed repeatedly, but the Ten-Tails' tails were unnaturally tough. His lightning-infused blades bounced right off. Soon, his arms, legs, and waist were bound. The next second, he felt the Tailed Beast inside him being extracted at an incredible speed.
He tried to cheer on Gyūki. Isn't this just tug-of-war? It's not like I haven't done it before. But he quickly realized he was wrong. His tug-of-war with Gyūki was child's play. Faced with a revived Ten-Tails, their combined strength was far too weak.
"Bee!" The Fourth Raikage roared, charging to save his brother. The Ten-Tails glanced at him, flicked a tail, and sent the Raikage flying.
