Incarnation of the Three-Tails

Thunder roared swiftly, followed by a fierce storm.

The thick, dark clouds looming in the sky seemed almost within reach, and the rain poured down harder and harder.

This rain was thanks to the great battle inside and outside Kirigakure. A large amount of water vapor evaporated and rose into the sky, accelerating the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and ultimately causing the rain to arrive earlier than expected. Rain was not an obstacle for the Mist Ninja; in fact, anything related to water was a weapon for them.

For example, with the help of this torrential rain, the power of the Water Release Technique not only doubles, but the attack range is also greatly extended.

Suikazan Fuguki's mind was cold and meticulous, quite different from his round body. He was unaware that Jinin Akebino, a senior member of the Seven Man Group Swordsmen, had been killed by Katsuki. However, out of caution, he instructed the two sensory ninjas from the beginning not to be stingy with their Chakra consumption and to use Sensory Ninjutsu to pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times.

Among the hundreds of thousands of ninjas in the Shinobi World, the rarest are sensory ninjas and medical-nin. The main job of a ninja is to kill, so most people choose to become combat-type ninjas. In fact, the bigger reason is that they have no other choice. As long as you are willing to spend enough time, you can still provide rudimentary treatment with Medical Ninjutsu.

However, sensory ninjas are different. Many Sensory Ninjutsu are linked to bloodlines, and outsiders cannot learn them even if they want to. Their scarcity, coupled with their irreplaceable role in combat, makes sensory ninjas an extremely valuable military force in the Shinobi World. Even in the Five Great Ninja Villages, their numbers are extremely limited.

Therefore, the Hyuga Clan holds a superior position in Konoha. The Byakugan does not have as many variations and abilities Sharingan, but it is awakened by the entire clan. Moreover, as long as there is enough Chakra to maintain the awakened state, the Byakugan's perception range is the same for both Jonin and Genin. This is what makes the Byakugan terrifying. As long as the methods used are skillful enough, even a Genin kid from the Hyuga Clan can unleash tremendous power.

"Someone's coming from the southeast, very fast."

"... It's that red-haired monster."

The two sensory ninjas roared. Fortunately, under the command of the Fuguki, they maintained a continuous wide-range sensory awareness even at the cost of Chakra. Otherwise, at that speed, they probably wouldn't have been able to react until the pufferfish was right in front of them.

The thunder drew ever closer, and in the blink of an eye, a streak of silvery-white lightning burst forth from the dark clouds.

"Spread out your defenses."

Suikazan Fuguki didn't remove Samehada from his back, freeing his hands to make hand seals.

Having learned from his previous battles, or perhaps out of fear of the Electric Execution, he dared not gather his men together and made the most rational decision in a split second.

They underestimated Katsuki's speed. They thought that splitting their forces to pursue Yuki and Kaguya would disrupt Katsuki's formation, but unfortunately, facing such unreasonable power, splitting their forces turned into sending lambs to the slaughter.

For now, all we can do is hold on and hope to hold out a little longer until the Third Mizukage arrives to help.

Katsuki's plan to demoralize the Mist Ninja could be considered both a failure and a success. At this moment, the Jonin, including Suikazan Fuguki, had no thought of winning and were all focused on how to survive Katsuki's attacks.

"Lightning Fork."

Sharp lightning bolts struck from the sky, igniting the forest and shattering the soil and rocks. The Mist Ninjas cried out as they were struck by the lightning and fell to the ground, utterly powerless to fight back. The Water Walls and rock walls were completely vulnerable to the raging lightning.

"Water Release, Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave."

Suikazan Fuguki reacted extremely quickly, spitting out a massive amount of seawater comparable to an ocean. The overflowing water surged in all directions, Mist Ninjas darted into the waves, moving as nimbly as fish, trying to escape the disaster descending from the sky.

"... You guys got off easy."

Katsuki dispersed the lightning in his hand. The ocean created by Suikazan Fuguki was indeed powerful. He could evaporate a small amount of water with the high temperature generated by the lightning, but such a huge amount of water might dry it up even if he worked himself to death. Moreover, the swaying waves would affect the accuracy of the lightning.

As long as these guys don't get in his way, he's too lazy to waste his energy on them.

A big guy is approaching.

"Those Jinchuriki are really tough; they can take a kick and a knee and still not die..."

Open your Mind's Eye, and you'll see the distinctive Chakra fluctuations of the Tailed Beasts approaching at a remarkably fast pace.

Katsuki wasn't in a hurry. He drove the Thunderclap Chariot at a leisurely pace, hovering behind the Mist Ninjas who were escaping from the vast waters below, herding them like sheep to make sure these bastards wouldn't wander off to the wrong pasture.

"Boom!!"

The overwhelming, raging force, aided by the vast ocean created by the Suikazan Fuguki below, stirred up giant waves forty or fifty meters high. A huge gray-brown turtle crashed into it, its three flat tails covered with a thick layer of keratin, dozens of times harder than steel.

Within Kirigakure, he was hesitant to unleash his Tailed Beasts and could only endure beatings while wearing the Tailed Beast Cloak. Now that he has left the village, it's like a tiger returning to the mountains or a dragon entering the sea; he can finally release the power that has been suppressed for so long.

"Thump!! Thump!! Thump!!"

The three enormous tails lashed out at the ground with tremendous force, producing a deafening roar.

"Roar--!"

The giant tortoise stared at the Katsuki in mid-air with its single eye. Its ferocious gaze made it difficult to determine whether the dominant consciousness was the Three-Tails or the Shitsukura.

It didn't matter who it was, because the Three-Tails' ferocious killing intent was clearly aimed at him. Unless he ran away now, he believed that the turtle would definitely not be able to catch him. However, considering the time, he should stall for a while longer, as his current Chakra could still sustain him for some time.

"... Should we just take action?"

Katsuki's gaze sharpened as she watched the enormous water bullet hurtling towards her at high speed. Her right arm, crackling with lightning, swung down fiercely, striking the water bullet squarely.

The water bullets scattered, but the Thunderclap Chariot was also pushed back more than 30 meters before it absorbed most of the impact.

I used to put on a show just to be cool, but now I don't have much energy left to pretend. Tailed Beasts are like perpetual motion machines; it's much harder to wear down a Tailed Beast to defeat it.

"Bang! Bang!!"

The sharp sound of something tearing through the air was like the explosion of firecrackers, as the Three-Tails beast's tail, which could be described as a deadly weapon, lashed down in mid-air.

It's hard to dodge!

The three tails were slightly offset from each other, and the wide tails covered a very wide area of attack. Not to mention that the three tails landed one after another. Even if you could dodge the first tail, you couldn't dodge the second one that followed, let alone the third tail.

"Damn it, this thing's dominant consciousness is definitely not the Tailed Beast itself."

Although the Tailed Beasts live a long time, it doesn't mean they have a particularly strong fighting spirit. Their immortality allows them to live quite freely, and battles are meaningless to Tailed Beast. After all, even if they are skinned and dismembered, they will return to this world after a while.

Therefore, the Tailed Beasts fight extremely wildly and unrestrainedly. Don't expect them to play delicate tricks; the clash of Tailed Beast Bomb Tailed Beast in line with their fighting philosophy.

"Boom--!"

The indestructible tail collided with Katsuki's fist!
