Karatachi Yagura let out a wild roar. "Die!"
He lunged at the Third Hokage, who raised the Adamantine Ruyi Staff to meet him head-on.
But whether in stamina or Chakra, Karatachi Yagura far surpassed the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage was now at an absolute disadvantage.
Karatachi Yagura, after undergoing Tailed Beast Transformation, was incomparably violent as he attacked madly with intense killing intent.
If the Third Hokage died while the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki remained out of control, Konoha would soon fall apart.
The other ninja villages would immediately launch a massive invasion because of Konoha's decline, and the Fourth Shinobi World War could soon begin.
At that point, no one would care about their Land of Water, isolated overseas.
The resolute Mizukage exposed many openings, attempting to trade injuries for injuries.
But the Third Hokage refused to take the bait, turning a blind eye to every opening.
Though he was at a disadvantage, his defeat was not yet apparent. At this rate, they would remain locked in battle for quite some time.
Although people had already rushed over from nearby to support him, the Third Hokage was still anxious.
Ordinary ninja were simply no match for a Jinchuriki. Even if they came, they could at most hold him back for a while.
Did he have to expose him?
Sarutobi Hiruzen actually had another expert at his side, but that was his final trump card. He was unwilling to use it unless it was the last moment.
After all, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was the most important matter.
Just then, an unexpected voice rang out.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
It was merely a Great Fireball Jutsu, yet the fireball was as large as a house as it came crashing down from above!
Everyone was startled!
How was it this huge!?
BOOM!
