The three Artificial Tailed Beasts attacked Naruto at once. The bird-type Artificial Tailed Beast swooped down from above, the monkey-type one flanked him from the left, and the fox-lizard type charged straight at him.
"Bring it on!" Naruto charged forward instead of retreating. A giant claw formed from Nine-Tails Chakra reached straight for the diving bird-type Artificial Tailed Beast.
