Capturing the Three-Tails (Part 2)
Ignoring everyone's surprise, Issui controlled the Flame Demon God and walked towards the lake.
With each step the Flame Demon God took, it utterly destroyed everything in its path, draining all vegetation of its power and pulverizing it. Finally, the Flame Demon God stopped at the shore of the lake.
"Drink... ah..."
The energy within Issui's body surged wildly, his expression contorted in rage, as more and more energy materialized and poured into the body of the Flame Demon God.
"Roar..."
Stimulated by Issui immense energy, the Flame Demon God roared and opened its enormous mouth. Gradually, a ball of blackish-gold energy gathered within Flame Demon God mouth, growing larger and larger...
"Demon God Black Gold Cannon!!!"
When the energy ball in front of the Flame Demon God's mouth gathered to a certain size, Issui suddenly shouted, and a black-gold flame ball, radiating a black luster like the sun, rushed towards the lake!
Actually, this technique derived from the Flame Demon God was just a conjecture by Issui, which has now materialized into reality. Long ago, when Issui used the Flame Demon Descent, he speculated whether the Flame Demon God could also use something like the Tailed Beast Bomb, since things of enormous size often use this move. Issui experimented independently many times without success, but after the battle with the Moryo, he finally succeeded in using this incredibly powerful technique by fusing the Amaterasu Black Flame with the God-Devouring Golden Flame.
A single type of energy cannot be used to create the Tailed Beast Bomb; it requires another type of energy to fuse and interact with it. Previously, Issui had been using only one type of energy to condense the Tailed Beast Bomb, but without success. Clearly, it lacked another force to neutralize it. From the moment the God-Devouring Golden Flame fused, the Flame Demon God's energy form reached two forms, and these two energies perfectly fused together. Thus, the appearance of the Tailed Beast Bomb became normal. The Demon God Black Gold Cannon was just Issui gave it; ultimately, it is similar to the Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Tailed Beast Bomb emitted by the Nine-Tails and other Tailed Beast are also composed of two kinds of energy: red and blue, which are fused together in a certain proportion to create the Tailed Beast Bomb.
The black-gold fireball plunged into the lake, colliding violently with the water's surface and creating a massive splash. A large amount of lake water evaporated, but the black-gold fireball showed no signs of diminishing; it continued to dive deeper into the lake.
While Issui Black Gold Flame Balls are similar to the Tailed Beast Bomb, they are essentially the same. The Black Gold Flame Balls have two more functions than the Tailed Beast Bomb, which come from the characteristics of two strange flames: tracking and enticement. The Amaterasu Flame has the characteristic of burning everything, and it has become even more powerful under the control of the Flame Demon God. As long as it encounters something with strong energy, it will wrap around and burn it. The God-Devouring Golden Flame has the ability to damage the spirit. When it encounters the Three-Tails, it can consume its spirit and lure it to the surface of the water.
However, releasing such a powerful black-gold fireball consumed a huge amount of Issui's energy, most importantly his mental energy. An ordinary black-gold fireball might not consume much mental energy, but today's black-gold fireball needed to locate the Three-Tails, Issui added some of his mental energy to it to increase the fireball's flexibility, thus increasing the chances of finding the Three-Tails.
"Thump..."
"Roar... Awooo..."
Time ticked by, and finally, after five minutes, a sound like a drumbeat came from the lake, followed by a deafening roar. A huge Uzumaki appeared in the center of the lake, with towering waves surging continuously, and a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the water!
At first glance, the enormous creature emerging from the water appears to be a giant turtle. However, this turtle has three huge tails, and one of the tails is burning with black and gold flames, causing the giant turtle to thrash its massive and clumsy body wildly.
"Attack..." Upon seeing the Three-Tails surface, Mei Terumi ordered the Anbu to launch an attack without further ado.
"Wei-Wu-Chen, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"
All the Anbu used the same Earth Release Ninjutsu simultaneously, their movements synchronized and their presence awe-inspiring.
Originally, the Land of Water was a country located on the sea, and most of the people of Kirigakure were water-style ninjas. However, the Three-Tails was also a water-style Tailed Beast, possessing high immunity to water-style ninjutsu. In terms of Chakra nature, water is countered by earth-style, so earth-style ninjas are the most suitable for combat. Of course, some also learn earth-style Ninjutsu after becoming Jonin. The elite ninjas chosen by Mei Terumi to participate in this battle are those who know earth-style Ninjutsu.
Numerous dragon heads formed from mud spat out a large number of mud projectiles that attacked the Three-Tails. All the mud projectiles, carrying powerful impact, struck the Three-Tails without missing a single shot.
The Anbu the Kirigakure's ANBU were indeed extraordinary. They acted swiftly and seized the perfect timing. Moreover, every Earth Dragon Bullet struck the exposed soft flesh of the Three-Tails Fox, while not a single one landed on the turtle's shell. After all, the Earth Dragon Bullet's shell is the hardest part of the turtle.
"Roar..."
Hit by a barrage of Earth Dragon Bullet, the Three-Tails was quite enraged. Although the attacks only grazed its body and scratched it, causing no real damage, the unseen flames on its tail were driving it crazy. These guys were giving it more trouble, adding fuel to its already burning anger. It had been sleeping underwater when suddenly a huge, terrifying fireball struck its tail, and to make matters worse, it wouldn't extinguish. Just as it surfaced, it was surrounded by a group of ninjas. What had it done to deserve this?
"Bang..."
Provoked by numerous members of the Kirigakure, the Three-Tails ignored the flames on its tail and unleashed a barrage of water arrows at the Kirigakure Anbu's ANBU.
The Kirigakure Anbu immediately dodged out of the Three-Tails' attack range the moment it launched its attack, but many trees behind them suffered, towering trees being smashed to pieces by the massive torrent of water...
"Its weakness is its left eye. Its entire body is covered in scales, and only its eyes are vulnerable. The powerful Earth Release attacks just now didn't harm it at all... We need to find an opportunity to attack its eyes..." Qing immediately saw the Three-Tails' weakness and instructed the Anbu to do as he said.
Earth Release: Rock-Breaking Spear!!!
All the Kirigakure Anbu fired in unison again, sending huge, rock-made spears piercing the ground and heading straight for the Three-Tails' eyes in the lake.
But the Three-Tails wasn't stupid either. It knew that its eyes were its biggest weakness, and with each rock spear shot at it, it would turn its body and use its hard, iron-like shell to block it.
Seeing this situation, Issui that although the Kirigakure's Anbu were indeed quite strong, continuing like this would be completely ineffective. Although his black-gold flames were constantly burning his tail, the Three-Tails, skilled in Water Release, was somehow slowing down the flames' burning speed. With the Three-Tails' enormous body, how long would it take for the black-gold flames to take effect? Now was not the time to be leisurely. Such a large battle commotion might attract Orochimaru and his group, which would be troublesome. Although he wasn't afraid of Orochimaru, the man was still one of the legendary Sannin, and he could certainly annoy him.
"You guys help me leash it, and I'll hit its eyes..." Issui hurriedly suggested.
"Do as he says..." Mei Terumi nodded.
Then all the Kirigakure Anbu began harassing the Three-Tails using various methods...
"Eye of Heaven - Frost, Ice - Armor-Piercing Ice-Shattering Arrow!!!"
Issui immediately dispelled the Flame Giant, changed the state of the Eye of Heaven to the second state, raised his left hand, and a uniquely shaped ice bow appeared in his hand. He put his right hand on the string, and an extremely long, huge ice arrow radiating icy coldness appeared in his hand. He pulled the ice arrow back with his right hand and gently released his hand when the bowstring was fully drawn.
"Swoosh... Puff..."
The ice arrow vanished from Issui's right hand in the blink of an eye. Then, a sonic boom was heard in the air, and everyone saw a huge arrow pierce the Three-Tails -Three-Tails' eye, with a large amount of bright red blood flowing out of it.
"Roar... Awooo..."
The Three-Tails let out a huge howl, its entire body thrashing wildly, stirring up towering waves.
Great opportunity!!
Seeing that the Three-Tails fox had gone berserk, Issui knew that this was the best time for the fly to strike. The black and gold flames on its tail could no longer be suppressed. The black and gold flames were rapidly burning its body. More importantly, the God-Devouring Golden Flame in the black and gold flames was a flame that consumed the enemy's mental power. Once the Three-Tails's mental power dropped significantly, it would be defeated without a fight and fall into a coma.
"Icer-- Super Giant Spirit Ice Hammer!!" Issui reached out and gestured towards the sky, and a gigantic ice hammer made of frost appeared in his hand, which he then smashed down on the head of the Three-Tails Fox.
"Thump..."
The massive ice hammer made intimate contact with the Three-Tails' head, producing a dull thud that sent shivers down everyone's spines. One can only imagine how the Three-Tails felt.
For a moment, Three-Tails felt dizzy, and his movements slowed down. Gradually, his head sank to the surface of the water and he stopped moving. He had passed out.
"..."
The members of Kirigakure were stunned. It was over just like that? This was too much! They'd gone to so much trouble and hadn't even scratched the Three-Tails, and then someone just knocked it unconscious with a giant ice hammer! Wasn't that a bit too much?
"..."
Without saying much, Issui immediately removed the black and gold flames from the Three-Tails' body, otherwise the Three-Tails might regain consciousness due to the pain, which would be bad.
Mei Terumi watched as Issui easily subdued the Three-Tails. While part of the reason was that the Three-Tails was uncontrolled, its mind was in disarray, and its fighting power was reduced, it was still Tailed Beast after all, and its Issui used to subdue the Three-Tails played a small role. The hammer was so large that it was equivalent to a third of the Three-Tails' size, and it must have consumed a considerable amount of Chakra.
Just as everyone was relaxing, a group of people suddenly appeared in the jungle and gradually walked out of it.
"Haha, looks like we've arrived just in time. It's just a pity we didn't get to witness a spectacular battle..."
P. S.: Why don't you all try to guess who this group of people is?
