The Ten-Tails, having lost all reason and left with only instinct, was nothing in Mizuki's eyes.
Power without any intelligence to control it, no matter how great, was little different in Mizuki's eyes from natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.
Hope, swept up in the Ten-Tails' backlash, had long since fallen asleep. That seemingly ferocious ocular beast, the Ten-Tails, actually possessed a considerable weakness.
The only thing they needed to watch out for was keeping this giant from firing Tailed Beast Balls wildly in every direction.
In the original story, a Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball had struck the Shinobi Allied Forces' headquarters, causing the worst casualties of the Fourth Shinobi World War. A great many outstanding shinobi had perished, including Shikamaru Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka.
The Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball was on an entirely different level from those of the nine tailed beasts. There was virtually no way to withstand it.
Having lost every technique for using chakra and fighting entirely on instinct, the ocular beast form had gained unprecedented absolute strength and terrifying offensive power.
Even Mizuki did not dare engage the Ten-Tails in close combat again at this point.
Though its destructive power was astonishing, the Ten-Tails, having lost all combat techniques, had also lost the corresponding defensive capabilities. Relying only on its body's innate traits, it could negate damage from most Five Elements Release techniques, but it could no longer fight with the integrated offense and defense of the earlier Ape Rock Form.
As if sensing the sudden reversal in the battle, a colossal golden fox rose onto its hind legs, its body marked with distinct black Six Paths symbols. This was the strongest Fox Sage Mode that Naruto Uzumaki and Kurama, after reaching a compromise, could wield with the power of the Six Paths.
