Your tail can grow back, but the horns on your head can't.

Hearing the words of Ensei Uchiha, the Eight-Tails fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, the Eight-Tails spoke: "Very well, but you must tell me what you intend to do with the Tailed Beast Chakra."

"Furthermore, you must spare the lives of Killer B and... and the Two-Tails jinchuriki."

Whether it was due to a lack of familiarity or some other reason, the Eight-Tails actually did not know Yugito's name?

It was clear that both Killer B and the Raikage had called out Yugito's name just moments ago.

"Do you truly believe you are in a position to negotiate with Me?"

Ensei Uchiha controlled the Chakra within the Susanoo, pulling the unconscious Two-Tails, Yugito, to his side, and applied a series of sealing techniques upon her.

"Are you certain you wish to take this hit? I cannot guarantee the consequences."

At this moment, the Tailed Beast Bomb in the Eight-Tails' mouth had finished condensing.

It contained the majority of the Chakra within the Eight-Tails' body; he had never used an attack of this magnitude before, nor did he know exactly what such a massive Tailed Beast Bomb was capable of.

Clearly, the Eight-Tails was threatening Ensei Uchiha.

Looking at the size of the orb, which was not much smaller than the Tailed Beast Bomb of the Ten-Tails in his memories, Ensei Uchiha pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Fine, I agree."

With that, Ensei Uchiha tossed Yugito toward the beast, and the glowing Four Red Yang Formation in the distance was deactivated at that very moment.

Shikaku Nara was still chatting with the Fourth Raikage, hoping to extract some intelligence from him, when suddenly, the Four Red Yang Formation vanished...

Looking at the Fourth Raikage standing mere inches away, and feeling his own Chakra, which had been completely exhausted by that superficial trap, he thought:

...It's over, time to die.

Although this thought flashed through his mind, Shikaku Nara knew in reality that he would be fine.

Sure enough, although the Four Red Yang Formation had disappeared, the Fourth Raikage did not launch an attack; instead, he spoke with a look of desolation:

"This war, Kumogakure has lost."

Although trapped within the Four Red Yang Formation, the Fourth Raikage had naturally seen the battle in the distance clearly.

He knew very well that if he continued to act recklessly, Kumogakure would not only lose a Raikage but also two Tailed Beasts.

As for whether the Raikage was worried about Konoha wiping them out...

While he was somewhat concerned, the Fourth Raikage believed there was a high probability they would not.

After losing the Raikage and two Tailed Beasts, Kumogakure would be severely wounded, but its foundation would remain intact; they could always close their borders like Amegakure, or humble themselves like Sunagakure.

Konoha, which appeared to be the beneficiary, would become the target of public criticism and would inevitably be countered by the other hidden villages; there was no doubt about it.

The five great hidden villages maintaining a balance was the consensus of all villages now; otherwise, why would Iwagakure have gone to war with Kumogakure during the Third Shinobi World War?

Glaring at Shikaku Nara with some annoyance, the Fourth Raikage surged with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode once more, arriving at Yugito's side in the blink of an eye.

Shouldering the unconscious Yugito, the Fourth Raikage spoke: "B, withdraw from Tailed Beast Mode. We have lost this war..."

Killer B's somewhat frantic voice echoed from within the Eight-Tails' body...

"Brother, run! I can't control it anymore..."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage did not hesitate for a second, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing.

Yet at this moment, Killer B did not hesitate to fire the Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth directly at Ensei Uchiha.

Ensei Uchiha saw this and immediately controlled the wings behind his Perfect Susanoo to fold inward, preparing to take the hit head-on with the Perfect Susanoo.

As for himself, he abandoned the Perfect Susanoo entirely, flickering away and vanishing; when he reappeared, he was already standing on the shoulder of the Eight-Tails.

As the giant Tailed Beast Bomb collided with the Susanoo, a massive mushroom cloud erupted, and the raging winds, mixed with earth and debris, engulfed everything in the vicinity.

When the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, all that remained was a colossal crater that had swallowed everything, along with the lower half of the Perfect Susanoo.

The good news: the Tailed Beast Bomb had indeed broken through the Susanoo's defense.

The bad news: the person using the Susanoo was not inside.

"Sorry, I really couldn't control it."

The Eight-Tails' voice sounded slowly, seemingly laced with a hint of guilt?

It appeared that upon seeing the head of the Susanoo was empty, he assumed Ensei Uchiha had been killed.

"If you really couldn't control it, why didn't you fire it into the sky?"

Ensei Uchiha's calm voice rang out from the Eight-Tails' shoulder, giving the beast a start.

Tilting his head to look at Ensei Uchiha on his shoulder, then glancing at the damaged upper half of the Susanoo in the distance, the Eight-Tails spoke in a daze:

"You... you're alright..."

The tone made it impossible to tell if it was regret or some other emotion.

"Of course, if you could kill me that easily, would I even dare to show my face?"

Hearing Ensei Uchiha's words, the Eight-Tails felt a wave of speechlessness.

That last strike alone would have been enough to kill even him; according to the other party's logic, no one in the entire Shinobi World, save for the Sage of Six Paths, would be qualified to walk outside.

"Alright, enough nonsense."

"Hand over one of your tails voluntarily and leave me more Chakra, otherwise I'll have to drag you out and do this all over again."

"Think it over. Your tail can grow back, but the horns on your head certainly won't."

Ensei Uchiha had no time to chat with the Eight-Tails. The sealing scroll could not be maintained for long, and he had to hurry to transfer the Two-Tails' Chakra into a new container.

Listening to Ensei Uchiha, the Eight-Tails felt a sudden sense of helplessness.

However, because of the previous incident with the giant Tailed Beast Bomb, he dared not negotiate any terms with Ensei Uchiha. Upon spotting the returning figure of the Fourth Raikage, he abandoned one of his tails and nearly all of his remaining Chakra without hesitation.

A fun fact: although Tailed Beasts are beings of Chakra, there is a limit to the Chakra they can use; once it is exhausted, they must extract more just like anyone else.

It is simply that, under normal circumstances, no one is capable of forcing a Tailed Beast to exhaust its Chakra.

After finishing all this, the Eight-Tails returned to the body of Killer B, while the Fourth Raikage in the distance also returned to Killer B's side at this moment.

Facing the Fourth Raikage nearby, Ensei Uchiha chose to ignore him entirely, proceeding to pull out a specially crafted sealing scroll to seal the tail that the Eight-Tails had detached.

Of course, before sealing it, Ensei Uchiha sensed the amount of Chakra; it was indeed substantial, even more than the Nine-Tails Chakra currently sealed within the Zero-Two Model.

"Not bad. As for the subsequent war reparations, people from Konoha will discuss them with you..."

Before Ensei Uchiha could finish his sentence, the Zero-Two Model, which had been on standby nearby, suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

Ensei Uchiha was stunned upon hearing this, then quickly prepared to use the Flying Thunder God to escape at any moment.

Very quickly... a hand appeared abruptly in mid-air, grabbing him by the shoulder.

"Obito Uchiha?"
