Must I Use That Move?

"Clang!!!"

Guy leaped high into the air.

The Kubikiribōchō came crashing down from above.

With a savage slash, it struck Isobu's head, covered in a hard shell!

Sparks flew as metal clashed against armor.

But the Kubikiribōchō only left a dent in the shell.

It hadn't broken through its defenses!

Using the recoil, Guy flipped and landed back on the ground.

He shook his slightly numb, trembling hands, his expression grave.

"What a thick turtle shell!"

Each of the nine tailed beasts of the shinobi world possessed its own unique traits.

One-Tail Shukaku possessed Wind Release and Sand Release.

Its special Kekkei Genkai was Magnet Release.

It excelled at sealing.

The Two-Tails Matatabi was a Fire Release tailed beast.

It possessed no special Kekkei Genkai, but it was incredibly fast.

High attack, high agility, low defense.

Isobu, the Three-Tails, was a Water Release tailed beast.

It likewise possessed no Kekkei Genkai.

However, its turtle-like body, covered in heavy armor, was renowned for its tremendous defenses!

Ordinary attacks could hardly break through its defense!

If Guy's abilities naturally countered fragile opponents like the Two-Tails—

Then the Three-Tails' turtle-shell-like defenses heavily countered Guy!

It wasn't that it posed much of a threat to Guy.

Rather, Guy would find it difficult to kill it.

"The Kubikiribōchō is still a little too inadequate... I'll have to break through its weak point!"

Guy's gaze sharpened as he immediately locked onto Isobu's tightly shut single eye.

That was its only vital point, where its defenses were relatively weak.

"Guy, are you alright?"

Kakashi and Obito came to Guy's side.

They had also seen Guy's immensely powerful slash just now, and how little effect it had produced.

Guy did not look at them. Instead, he stared fixedly at Isobu, which had grown even angrier after being injured
