Chapter 141: Nine-Tailed: Have You Ever Seen This Old Man's Full Power?
"Oh ho ho ho... Nine-Tailed, I didn't expect you to be so pathetic after all these years. You can't even beat my little brother!"
Seeing the man and beast in a stalemate, Shukaku felt safe. His mouth began to itch, and he casually blurted out words of mockery.
Then... both the man and the beast, who were originally in a stalemate, turned their heads toward Shukaku in shock.
Nagato: [Wait, are you really that brave?]
Nine-Tailed: [Wait, have you become that brave?]
"Uh..."
Seeing the man and beast both turning toward him, Shukaku realized he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
The atmosphere fell into a period of silence.
"Uh... that... you guys carry on. This Great Master is just wandering around."
After saying that, he intended to pull the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails along to continue running.
But who would have thought that the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, who were originally only in a semi-Tailed Beast transformation, would both undergo a complete Tailed Beast transformation at this moment? This made Shukaku, who was already not fast, completely unable to move.
Not only that, the newly transformed Four-Tails and Five-Tails also used their tails to grab Shukaku's tail, pulling him hard to prevent him from escaping.
Inside the Tailed Beast mental space.
[Old Four, Old Five, let go of my tail quickly!]
[Let go of what?]
[Let go of the tail!]
[Let go of what?]
[The tail!]
[The tail what?]
Shukaku: [...]
The clamor of the mental world was certainly exciting, but reality was just as good.
Seeing Shukaku pinned down, the Nine-Tailed naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass.
Head up!
Chest out!
Glutes tight!
Immediately, a Tailed Beast Ball appeared in the Nine-Tailed's mouth, aimed directly at Shukaku's position.
Seeing the Nine-Tailed blatantly gathering a Tailed Beast Ball to attack him...
How could Shukaku just sit and wait for death?
Although Shukaku's tail was caught and he couldn't dodge, as a fellow Tailed Beast, who didn't know how to use a Tailed Beast Ball?
Glutes tight!
Stomach out!
Mouth open!
Then... "Little brother!!!"
A giant roar echoed across the vast desert, its momentum so great that even the Nine-Tailed's Tailed Beast Ball paused for a moment.
Nagato: [???]
Nine-Tailed: [???]
Other Tailed Beasts: [???]
"What are you looking at! You think This Great Master is the same as you guys? This Great Master is backed by the Hidden Sand Village now, I have a background!"
"Pah! A bunch of country beasts who only know how to fight alone!"
Seeing the nearby Tailed Beasts looking at him with strange eyes, Shukaku didn't look embarrassed at all; instead, he spoke with a smug face.
Other Tailed Beasts: [Ugh!!!]
"Boom!"
A Tailed Beast Ball, trailing a long streak of light, flew toward Shukaku. It was the Tailed Beast Ball the Nine-Tailed had finished charging.
Seeing the Tailed Beast Ball flying toward him, Shukaku didn't panic at all because, in front of him...
A red-haired youth was standing before him. His figure was grand and resolute, providing Shukaku with an unparalleled sense of security.
[The little redhead from back then has grown up!]
[As expected! This Great Master's decision to trick him into being my lackey back then was absolutely correct!]
[Jie jie jie jie jie...]
"Boom!!!"
Nagato successfully used Shinra Tensei to change the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball. Ultimately, a mushroom cloud rose in the distant desert.
Seeing this, Shukaku's originally rounded eyes immediately turned into triangles.
"Oh ho ho ho ho..."
"Nine-Tailed, and you call yourself the strongest Tailed Beast? You can't even beat my little brother!"
The shrill voice reached the Nine-Tailed's ears, but this time the Nine-Tailed didn't show anger. Instead, he revealed a meaningful smile.
"Oh~ is that so?"
"Do you really think this is all of this Old Man's strength?"
"Humph! Stinky fox, what are you pretending for?"
"Back when the Old Man was teaching, you relied on having a lot of Chakra and didn't listen to a single lesson. What else do you know besides a Tailed Beast Ball!"
"Humph! Stinky Tanuki, that's because this Old Man only needs a Tailed Beast Ball!"
"If this Old Man had learned anything else, wouldn't you, this stinky Tanuki, be absolutely nothing!"
"You're full of crap!!!"
Hearing what the Nine-Tailed said, it was Shukaku's turn to have his defenses broken.
"Stinky fox! You just have a lot of Chakra! What use is a lot of Chakra!"
"To make it in the world, you need a background! You need brains! You need knowledge!"
"You have nothing but Chakra... what use is it!"
"Humph! Stinky Tanuki! That's because your Chakra is low!"
"This Old Man will let you see today that having a lot of Chakra... means being able to do whatever I want!"
"Think back to when... this Old Man led Madara to fight Hashirama. Facing a thousand giant hands, this Old Man relied on Chakra to withstand those thousand strikes!"
"In the end, this Old Man was perfectly fine!"
"If it were you, stinky Tanuki, you probably wouldn't even have lasted until the second palm!"
"You're bragging! Being ridden is being ridden!"
"A thousand strikes my foot, you would have been turned into a raisin by a thousand strikes!"
...The argument between the two Tailed Beasts continued.
But the skill points of the two Tailed Beasts were different; one had strength maxed out, while the other had 'Talk-no-Jutsu' maxed out.
And currently, the contest between the two Tailed Beasts was exactly the verbal battle that Shukaku was best at.
Finally... "Roar!!!"
[Translation: Stinky Tanuki, today I'll let you witness this Old Man's full power!!!]
"Roar!!!"
[Translation: Tailed Beast Hundred Successive Barrage!!!]
One Tailed Beast Ball after another spat out from the Nine-Tailed's mouth. Unlike the previous charging delay, this time the Nine-Tailed's Tailed Beast Balls bypassed the delay entirely, generating one basically every three or four seconds.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Tailed Beast Balls appeared in the sky, then all flew toward Shukaku's position.
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!" ×3.
Five exclamations of shock came from the mouths of the man, the beast, and the three spectator beasts.
Then, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, who were each using their tails to entwine Shukaku, began to release their tails simultaneously, wanting to get far away from here.
After all, they just wanted to watch the drama, not get consumed by it.
But there is a price for watching drama.
Just as the two beasts were about to flee, tentacles made of sand tightly bound the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
Oh... and the Eight-Tails, who was quietly moving his tentacles nearby.
The three Tailed Beasts were all being bound by the sand tentacles. Although it was impossible to trap three Tailed Beasts with only Shukaku's power...
Even though this was a desert and he had a boost, it was still impossible.
But for the three Tailed Beasts to easily break free, it would still take a certain amount of time.
And precisely, they didn't have time. The Tailed Beast Balls wouldn't wait in the air for them to break free before attacking.
Out of necessity, faced with this situation, the three spectator beasts could only choose to help Shukaku withstand the wave together.
And Nagato also stood behind Shukaku at this time.
There was no other way; the frequency of the Nine-Tailed's Tailed Beast Balls was too fast. It was impossible to block them all, so they had to unite.
Shukaku naturally knew this as well, so he took the lead in defending.
Sand dunes rose from the ground along the flight path of the Tailed Beast Balls.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The Tailed Beast Balls were like bulldozers, advancing as each one blew up a sand dune. Seeing the distance between the Tailed Beast Balls and themselves getting shorter and shorter, the other Tailed Beasts also mounted their defenses.
Seventeen tails flailed wildly in the air, knocking the trajectories of the Tailed Beast Balls off course.
For a while, sounds like firecrackers going off one after another filled the desert.
In the distance, at the Sand Ninja Army's position.
Looking at the mushroom clouds rising every few seconds ahead, a Sand Ninja said to his squad leader.
"Captain, so what Lord Shukaku said was true. He really was afraid that if he got serious, the damage would be too great, which is why he stayed away from the battlefield."
"So everything Lord Shukaku said was true."
"Waaa... Lord Shukaku is so kind!"
Captain: [...]
[I really envy a Ninja like you who has no sensory talent!]
