Six-Tails Saiken

Previously, Uchiha Akira's ninjutsu had constantly disrupted Haori, leaving him no opportunity to unleash an S-rank technique like the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Just now, Uchiha Akira had sent him flying with a single punch, providing him with the perfect opening to use this decisive trump card.

Seeing the semi-transformed jinchuriki Haori gathering a Tailed Beast Bomb, Uchiha Akira curled his lips into a sneer: "I'd like to see whether your Tailed Beast Bomb is faster, or the speed of lightning!"

With a flash of electricity, Uchiha Akira leaped into the air.

"Lightning Style: Thunder Punishment Divine Sword!"

As he raised his right hand, a bolt of lightning surged into the dark, churning clouds crackling with electricity.

The next moment, boundless lightning flickered within the dark clouds, converging above him in an instant.

As the endless thunder intertwined, a massive sword of lightning, a hundred meters in length, spanned across the sky.

"That is... this level of Lightning Style..."

On another part of the battlefield, having just finished off the Kirigakure jonin with the help of Might Duy, the Konoha jonin were preparing to head over to assist Uchiha Akira when they witnessed a terrifying sight.

The thunderous divine sword spanning the horizon shattered the perceptions of Kakashi and the others.

They had never seen a ninjutsu of this scale or intensity, not even on the battlefields of the Third Shinobi World War.

"That is..." Hyuga Homura, staring at the battlefield, spoke with a grave expression: "The Six-Tails jinchuriki of Kirigakure has entered a semi-taled beast state and is charging a Tailed Beast Bomb!"

He looked at the others nearby and said in a low voice: "We must move quickly. Whether it's Uchiha Akira's technique in the sky or that Tailed Beast Bomb, we are currently within range and could be caught in the blast and injured."

Before his voice had even faded, the Thunder Punishment Divine Sword hanging in the sky vanished, as if it had never existed.

At the same time, Kakashi quickly completed his hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground: "Earth Style: Multiple Earth Style Wall!"

With a roar, several thick walls rose from the earth, shielding those present.

On the other side of the battlefield, Uchiha Akira, who was rapidly descending, waved his right hand, and the Thunder Punishment Divine Sword above him instantly disappeared.

Then, the sword flickered and jumped, reappearing directly above Haori, the Six-Tails jinchuriki, who had nearly finished gathering the Tailed Beast Bomb and was about to unleash it.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion that shook the world, endless lightning erupted. Under the bombardment of the thunder, the entire area shattered, instantly illuminating the heavens and the earth with a blinding glare.

Boom! Boom!

Then, an even more violent explosion rang out as the Tailed Beast Bomb detonated amidst the lightning strike.

Endless light and heat burst forth, instantly swallowing the sky-filling lightning before forming a massive mushroom cloud in the sky.

The earth trembled and the soil churned!

Everything within a kilometer radius was swallowed by the light and heat of the explosion.

Elsewhere, Might Guy and the others, who were tending to the wounded, stared at the battlefield in shock. The shockwave that swept toward them felt like a Category 10 typhoon.

Had they not used Earth Style techniques to dampen the wind, some of the wounded might have been blown away.

"Guy, did you see that?" Ebisu poked Might Guy, "That Lightning Style from just now..."

"What kind of enemy could force Ming-senpai to use that level of Lightning Style..." Genma Shiranui muttered.

"Could it be a Tailed Beast... that pillar of chakra that shot into the sky..." Might Guy whispered.

It wasn't just them; the dozens of wounded and medical staff were also discussing the event, as the commotion had been far too great.

Even they could see the lightning sword that had spanned the sky.

"Trust our Konoha jonin!"

"There's nothing to worry about, those are members of the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan!"

"That's right, with them here, we're sure to win!"

"..."

Despite these words, everyone turned their eyes toward the battlefield in unison.

Feeling the energy storm howling past, Kakashi, Might Duy, and the others looked toward the battlefield with grave, anxious expressions.

"How is it over there, Homura?" Chiba Ryu looked at Hyuga Homura.

Possessing the Byakugan, Hyuga Homura was clearly able to see the situation on the battlefield.

"It's bad..." A look of horror appeared on Hyuga Homura's face as he said in a low voice: "The Kirigakure jinchuriki has lost control; the Six-Tails has broken its seal and gone berserk..."

Hearing this, the jonin present looked grim. A Tailed Beast was not something they could handle; even if a jonin were to step in, they wouldn't even be able to scratch it.

Among those present, perhaps only Might Duy could put up a fight.

"What? The Six-Tails broke the seal!?" The others looked at Hyuga Homura in disbelief.

Hyuga Homura swallowed hard and said with difficulty: "It is as I said. At the critical moment of his death, the Six-Tails jinchuriki chose to go down fighting and released the Six-Tails..."

"What do we do now?" Hyuga Homura looked at the others.

"We must hurry over to support Uchiha-san, then retreat. A full-form Tailed Beast is not something we can handle!" Might Duy said with a grave expression.

"Can we use a summoning to notify Minato-san to come? This situation is clearly beyond our capabilities." The jonin Chiba Ryu looked at Kakashi.

"I can't. Teacher's Summoning Beast is a toad from Mount Myoboku, and mine are ninja dogs." Kakashi shook his head, his expression looking poor.

"Wait, Duy, perhaps we don't need to go." At this moment, Hyuga Homura looked at Might Duy, his expression one of uncertainty and disbelief: "It seems the Six-Tails has been controlled by Uchiha Akira using the Sharingan..."

"What!?" The few people present all revealed expressions of astonishment, simultaneously recalling the legend of Uchiha Madara controlling the Nine-Tails.

Kakashi murmured in a low voice, "The Sharingan can actually control a Tailed Beast!?"

"That's great!" Might Duy let out a huge sigh of relief.

Over here, Uchiha Akira walked out of the distant forest, his body covered in some charred marks.

The Thunder Punishment Divine Sword used just now was merely his Shadow Clone Technique; for a ninjutsu with a kill radius of one thousand meters and a throwing range of five hundred meters, using a shadow clone to execute it was the standard approach.

At this moment, the battlefield had been transformed into a massive crater several hundred meters in diameter.

A behemoth, snow-white all over, shaped like a slug with six tails and a body covered in viscous liquid, stood tall within the depths of the pit.

Right now, the creature's snow-white body was covered in large patches of char, as if it had been bombarded by something.

Clearly, it had sustained injuries in the explosion just moments ago.

"The Six-Tails broke the seal at the critical moment..." Uchiha Akira's scarlet Sharingan narrowed slightly.

Haori was definitely done for; under the bombardment of the Lightning Style and the Tailed Beast Bomb just now, there was no possibility of survival.

However, at the crucial moment, it was unclear whether he had intentionally broken the seal or if Saiken had sensed a life-or-death crisis and forcibly broken through the already unstable seal.

This had resulted in the Six-Tails breaking free; the creature before them had now completely shattered its seal and was a fully manifested Tailed Beast.

Seeing Uchiha Akira approaching, the Six-Tails Saiken let out a low roar.

Watching the enraged Six-Tails, Uchiha Akira smiled, "If you hadn't come out, I wouldn't have had any way to deal with you, but now that you're out, it's just perfect!"

The three black tomoe in his left eye spun, transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern.

In an instant, the Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto the Six-Tails.

In a split second, the roaring Six-Tails froze, the entire Tailed Beast appearing as if it had crashed or lost consciousness, standing blankly in place.
