The Nine-Tails was still the Nine-Tails, but when Shisui Uchiha leaped onto its enormous fox head, the beast—usually known for its ferocity and cruelty—showed no sign of anything unusual.
What did it feel like to control the Nine-Tails?
It was probably like having another body at his disposal. He could observe the world through the Nine-Tails' eyes, though he still wasn't used to controlling a body that moved on all fours.
As for the nine tails behind it, Shisui had even less of a clue what to do with them.
The Nine-Tails' instincts were still present in its body. Shisui's Sharingan controlled it, but he hadn't taken it over. Under Shisui's instructions, the Nine-Tails could still rely on its bodily instincts to carry out the appropriate movements.
"Come to think of it, the Nine-Tails' head feels much nicer to pet than Itachi's." Shisui stroked the beast's fluffy head as he made the comparison.
Itachi: "???"
"If you want to force my hand, then so be it." Shisui looked at Nagato in the distance and spoke calmly.
"Nine-Tails, Tailed Beast Bomb."
Under Shisui's control, the Nine-Tails aimed the three Tailed Beast Bombs it had finished forming at Konan and Deva Path Pain on the other side.
Seeing this, Nagato hurriedly shouted toward Shisui, "Wait!"
Shisui ignored him. All three Tailed Beast Bombs shot toward Konan at once.
"Damn it! You bastard!" Nagato was so furious he could barely contain himself, but he had no time to complain. He quickly used the Rinnegan's power against the three Tailed Beast Bombs in midair.
"Bansho Ten'in."
With Konan's life at stake, Nagato went all out from the very start. He concentrated an immense gravitational force on one of the Tailed Beast Bombs, pulling it off its original trajectory and sending it away from Konan.
