Having received the order, the Nine-Tails shot out like it had powerful springs attached to its body, charging straight at Iwagakure's army. As for Ōnoki, the Nine-Tails simply ignored him.
It had no intention of messing around with that dangerous-feeling old man. Its target was the several thousand ninja troops behind Ōnoki.
Among the nine Tailed Beasts, the Nine-Tails ranked near the top in speed. Combined with its sleek body, both its running and explosive acceleration were incredibly fast. A massive amount of Chakra enveloped its body, making it look like a gigantic flaming fox—though it was not actually fire.
"Ah!!!!"
Almost the instant the Nine-Tails charged into Iwagakure's army, screams erupted. Its sharp claws continuously tore at the enemy, while its nine long tails whipped about wildly. For a moment, it was utter chaos, and every Iwagakure ninja near the Nine-Tails suffered.
A Tailed Beast was simply too devastating against ordinary ninja.
"You beast, how dare you!!!!"
The Nine-Tails had bypassed him to attack the village's ninja. Ōnoki was so furious that his face reddened and the veins in his neck bulged, his eyes wide as he prepared to rush over and deal with the Nine-Tails. Unfortunately, someone was faster than him.
Hatake Sakumo immediately charged in with his two followers, blocking Ōnoki and preventing him from going after the Nine-Tails.
"You!!! Hatake Sakumo, well done!!!" Ōnoki was so enraged that his hair nearly stood on end. At this rate, smoke might start pouring from the top of his head.
The Nine-Tails was powerful, but with Ōnoki taking the lead, restraining it would not have been too difficult. But now that he was being held back, there was no one to lead them. At a time like this, the Nine-Tails would only become more terrifying, crazily harvesting the lives
