Normally, the Nine-Tails needed time to form a Tailed Beast Ball of this scale, but today was an exception.
It was good that it had been provoked—this would make the Nine-Tails understand that he was the one it could rely on. Though the Nine-Tails obediently followed him, Ronglin knew the creature still felt somewhat disgruntled.
Did Ronglin need the Nine-Tails to join the battle and help him fight Hashirama Senju, even if his opponent was in a cheated state?
Obviously not. Even without cheats, Hashirama Senju could crush Uchiha Madara and the Nine-Tails. Now that he had activated his cheat, there was even less need to say it. Ronglin did not need the Nine-Tails' help, yet he had still summoned it.
His purpose was to let the Nine-Tails vent its anger and gain a deeper understanding of his strength, so that from now on, it would follow him wholeheartedly.
Rather than as it did now—submitting on the surface while harboring other thoughts within.
Boom!!
The enormous Tailed Beast Ball shot out like a cannonball. Skimming rapidly across the ground, it blasted apart everything in its path, whether rocks or trees. A deep ravine appeared in the earth, as though something had violently plowed through it.
"Ah!!!"
The Nine-Tails launched its attack. Hashirama Senju controlled the Wood Golem, roaring as it strode toward the Nine-Tails. It raised its arms, its two terrifying open palms blocking before it.
Boom!!!
The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball struck the Wood Golem's palms, producing a piercing blast. Immediately afterward came a massive explosion comparable to a bomb detonation.
Rumble!!!
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, like a small atomic bomb exploding.
"Rrrgh~~~"
The Nine-Tails was still baring its fangs. At that moment, it seemed to have only one thought: kill Hashirama Senju.
