Clang—clang—
Perfect Susanoo kept moving, advancing step by step toward the Konoha Ninja who remained at the scene.
Its enormous body radiated an equally immense aura.
The pressure made some of the Ninja retreat again and again, while others slumped to the ground.
"We... we can't win."
Some of the Konoha Ninja began to despair.
They watched as the [Susanoo Complete Body], over 230 meters tall, approached them at an unhurried pace.
Countless Ninja were overcome by despair!
"Our strength... isn't even in the same dimension."
Kurenai Yuhi knelt on the ground, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.
"Damn it..." Tsunade Hime gritted her teeth as she looked at all of Konoha, cleaved in two by that terrifying sword strike. But she was left with nothing but despair and helplessness.
Kakashi said nothing, but he too felt deeply powerless.
The legendary Ninja, Uchiha Madara, was far too powerful.
They stood no chance against him!
At last!
Perfect Susanoo towered before all the Konoha Ninja who remained.
Its terrifying aura was utterly overwhelming, leaving the countless Konoha Ninja at the scene with no courage to resist.
At that:
"Finally... you've stopped struggling?"
Inside the diamond-shaped crystal on the head of the colossal Susanoo Complete Body, Chen Yiban stood with his arms folded, clad in red armor. He spoke coldly.
But just as Chen Yiban finished speaking:
Roar—
A beastlike howl echoed through the ruined village of Konoha.
"Oh?" Looking down from his lofty position, Chen Yiban spotted a figure out of control. An intrigued smile tugged at his lips.
It was... Naruto Uzumaki, with four Nine-Tailed Fox tails already emerging behind him!
He had entered his beastlike state!
"Kid, I'll help you this once, so you don't become a puppet under that bastard Madara's ocular power again."
Inside Naruto's body, Kurama spoke.
"It's Naruto!" Kakashi turned and saw the red, beastlike figure.
"Naruto..." The closest person to the Four-Tails Naruto was Jiraiya, who had lost an arm.
But Jiraiya was in no condition to stop Naruto from losing control!
Besides, if Naruto treated the Susanoo before him as an enemy...
Then maybe losing control for a while would be a good thing!
Just as Jiraiya had that thought:
Whoosh—
Sure enough, the Four-Tails Naruto charged straight at the colossal [Susanoo Complete Body] before him.
"Interesting!" Chen Yiban gave a faint smile from inside the crystal in Susanoo's head.
"Roar...!!" To everyone's astonishment, the Four-Tails Naruto sprinted across the ground on all fours, roaring as he went.
He unleashed tremendous speed and strength, surging toward the colossal Perfect Susanoo before him.
Thud—!
A giant claw made of Tailed Beast Chakra struck the [Susanoo Complete Body] on its enormous calf.
But it only made a soft sound!
"Hmm... that tickles." Inside Susanoo's head, Chen Yiban's Eternal Mangekyo eyes gleamed with mockery as he stood with his arms folded.
Roar—
The Four-Tails Naruto grew even angrier. He threw back his head and roared again, and then the [Fifth Tail] appeared.
An even more terrifying cloak of Tailed Beast Chakra instantly enveloped Naruto Uzumaki!
His entire body was filled with feral savagery!
At the same time, patches of skin began to peel from Naruto's body.
"That's... Naruto?!"
Nearby, Sasuke Uchiha stared in shock at Naruto Uzumaki, who was now brimming with powerful Tailed Beast Chakra.
He couldn't believe Naruto possessed such a frightening chakra power.
"Naruto...?" Sakura Haruno looked on, utterly astonished.
"He's at five tails. You can't go any further, Naruto." Kakashi looked worried and uncertain.
"Naruto... cough, cough..." Jiraiya was badly injured, coughing up blood as he spoke.
"Naruto..." Tsunade Hime looked at Naruto with five tails and a complicated expression.
If all nine tails emerged, Naruto would be beyond saving!
But,
facing such an unimaginably terrifying enemy as the legendary Ninja [Uchiha Madara],
perhaps this was exactly the moment to "stake everything on a desperate gamble"?
Thinking this, Tsunade Hime watched Naruto with five tails, her expression troubled.
She glanced again at Jiraiya, gravely injured and missing an arm.
Tsunade Hime realized that Naruto's strength might truly be Konoha's last hope.
"Jiraiya, hang in there." Tsunade Hime quickly rallied herself from her despair and went to Jiraiya's side.
Then she used her superb Medical Ninjutsu to treat his injuries!
At that:
"Tsunade, help me...!"
Jiraiya looked at the woman he loved and pleaded.
Hearing him, Tsunade, who was already treating Jiraiya and staring at his severed arm with unease, couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
When she understood, Tsunade Hime wiped some of the blood from Jiraiya's severed arm.
Seeing that Tsunade Hime had understood what he meant, Jiraiya managed a pained smile.
Then:
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!!"
Meanwhile,
the beastlike Naruto, with five tails emerging behind him, continued to grow stronger, his power surging higher and higher.
Soon, the [Sixth Tail] appeared!
Roar—
A terrifying, beastlike howl burst from Naruto, echoing throughout Konoha.
Countless people shuddered in alarm!
"Naruto..." Sasuke and Sakura Haruno watched in astonishment.
"He's already got six tails. If this keeps up..." Kakashi worried for his student, but there was nothing he could do.
At that moment:
Hiss—
Six-Tails Naruto opened his mouth and began rapidly gathering a [Tailed Beast Ball] aimed at the Susanoo Complete Body.
Boom—
Soon, a "Tailed Beast Ball" shot straight at the colossal Susanoo Complete Body right before him.
It struck the enormous blue calf of the "Susanoo Complete Body" again!
This time, Chen Yiban's "Susanoo Complete Body" shifted that foot back a little.
But that was all!
"Heh!" Chen Yiban stood with his arms folded, quietly watching the whole time.
He was waiting for Naruto to unleash all nine tails and completely lose control!
That would be the moment to put a collar on the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
At that moment, a stream of energy emerged from the crystal necklace around Naruto's neck, trying to bind him.
Or rather, to suppress Naruto's rampage!
But:
Crack—!
Just as in the original story during "Pain's Invasion of Konoha," Six-Tails Naruto grabbed the necklace around his neck and crushed it with a light squeeze.
In an instant, the sealing power vanished!
Roar—
Behind Naruto, the [Seventh Tail] slowly emerged.
