"Whoa!"
When Zabuza looked toward Naruto, he saw that Naruto, already in his Three-Tails state, was forming a Tailed Beast Bomb larger than his entire body.
The Tailed Beast Bomb slowly changed from red to dark red, and finally turned black.
Zabuza looked toward the direction Naruto was facing.
"If I don't get out of here, I'll get caught in the blast."
"Now that's brutal. Has he really lost every last bit of reason?"
"He's actually firing a Tailed Beast Bomb at his own Jonin."
Naruto was facing the sea where Kakashi was.
Sakura, swimming toward Kakashi, still had no idea that Naruto was gathering a Tailed Beast Bomb and aiming it in her direction.
As she struggled to swim through the water, Sakura had only one thought: "I have to hurry and save Kakashi-sensei. Otherwise, he'll sink soon."
"Damn it, why has Naruto become so terrifying? He's completely different from before."
Naruto's state had terrified Sakura.
Before, Naruto had been mischievous and troublesome, but he had never been this frightening.
And his strength had grown too quickly. Even Kakashi was no match for him.
Kakashi was a Jonin, after all.
Naruto finished gathering the Tailed Beast Bomb and fired it toward Kakashi.
The enormous Tailed Beast Bomb, nearly two meters in diameter, shot toward Kakashi like a flash of light.
It was incredibly fast.
The air couldn't withstand the Tailed Beast Bomb's terrifying power, and cracks began to spread through it.
"Crack, crack..."
It crossed the hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
The Tailed Beast Bomb appeared just dozens of meters behind Sakura, but she didn't notice it.
Zabuza had run a long way. He looked back, filled with awe. "So this is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"He has such terrifying power even in his Three-Tails state. The Nine-Tails truly is the strongest Tailed Beast."
"Sharingan Kakashi, today marks the end of your legend."
Having fought Xidai Mizukage, Zabuza knew all too well how powerful a Tailed Beast Bomb was.
When that Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, everything within hundreds, even a thousand meters, would be completely destroyed.
That included Kakashi, who was too exhausted to run. He would be reduced to nothing.
Zabuza was about to stop and enjoy the sight of the Tailed Beast Bomb exploding. He was already more than a thousand meters away from Kakashi.
No matter how powerful the Tailed Beast Bomb was, its blast shouldn't reach this far.
So he stood on the surface of the sea, watching in that direction.
The Tailed Beast Bomb was about to explode as it neared Kakashi.
"Crack~"
A faint cracking sound came from inside the Tailed Beast Bomb.
It sounded like glass breaking.
It was a sign that the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to explode.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the distance. "Triple Rashomon!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
Three enormous iron gates carved with demon faces suddenly burst through the churning sea.
The three demon-faced gates rose up, towering over a hundred meters high and blocking the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Boom~"
The Tailed Beast Bomb slammed into the first gate.
It exploded violently, and for an instant, the light it gave off shone as brightly as the sun.
A terrifying shock wave crossed over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, swallowing everything within a thousand meters.
The explosion sent a wall of water hundreds of meters into the air.
The previously churning sea was left with a massive depression dozens of meters deep.
An ancient bell rang out, piercing through the explosion.
"Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling..."
The Tailed Beast Bomb's terrifying explosion was completely absorbed the moment it struck the first gate.
The first gate swayed only slightly before settling back into stillness.
Zabuza gaped at the three Rashomon gates towering over a hundred meters away.
"W-what is that?"
"How did something like that appear out at sea?"
Zabuza was stunned.
How had three enormous iron gates suddenly appeared out at sea?
And such bizarre gates, too.
The suddenly appearing Rashomon had shielded Sakura behind the first gate.
The violent explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb had not even shaken the first gate. Otherwise, Sakura would have been caught in the blast as well.
Sakura struggled against the surging waves, but her gaze remained fixed on the towering iron gate that had suddenly appeared before her.
"What is that? How did it suddenly appear here?"
Sakura was completely stunned by the enormous gate's sudden appearance.
"Could it be a sea monster?"
Since the Rashomon had slowly emerged from beneath the sea, Sakura guessed that the three gates had been made by some sort of sea monster.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the bridge.
Yeyu stood there calmly.
Beside him stood Mitaraishi Anko and Asama Sandayu, both looking shocked.
They stared at Yeyu as if he were a monster.
Looking at Yeyu's calm expression, Anko asked in a trembling voice, "Yeyu, h-how do you know this jutsu? And... you're so young. How could you possibly use it?"
She knew that Orochimaru had used the Triple Rashomon, but she couldn't learn it. It required too much chakra.
It also required talent, and she simply couldn't master it.
But she had studied it.
So she knew very well how difficult it was to successfully perform this jutsu.
And if someone failed to master it, the jutsu could be extremely dangerous.
That was why it was an S-rank forbidden jutsu.
Asama Sandayu also watched Yeyu's back with a solemn expression. "As expected, someone who can become the Hokage Assistant couldn't possibly be weak."
"So Mr. Yeyu is this powerful."
The Land of Snow also had a ninja village. Asama Sandayu had once been a minister in the Land of Snow, so he knew very well how difficult and powerful the jutsu Yeyu had just used was.
Could someone capable of using a jutsu of that caliber really be weak?
Asama Sandayu had been quite worried about Yeyu before, concerned that he was too young and lacked the strength and experience to protect Kazahana Koyuki.
But now, he had no more doubts.
After seeing just that one jutsu, he had no reason to doubt Yeyu.
After using the Triple Rashomon to block the Tailed Beast Bomb, Yeyu looked toward Naruto, who was standing on a bridge pier and staring his way.
Yeyu's ability to block one of his Tailed Beast Bombs had surprised him.
At the same time, he had set his sights on Yeyu.
This human was a threat to him. He had to kill him.
Naruto pushed off with his foot and instantly shot toward Yeyu like a streak of light.
Anko looked tense. "Yeyu, he's coming! That's the rampaging Nine-Tails! None of us know Sealing Jutsu, so we can't control him!"
Anko had barely finished speaking when Naruto appeared in front of Yeyu, moving frighteningly fast.
"Whoosh~"
The instant he appeared before Yeyu, he swung a fist at Yeyu's face.
The punch carried terrifying power.
It could even shatter a small mountain in a single blow.
