Opening with the Ultimate Move, Radiation Sorcery Array

A surge of terrifying Chakra rushed in like a tidal wave, directly sending the Kirigakure Ninja was about to climb to the top of the cliff flying.

The Kirigakure Ninja climbing below all looked up at the top of the cliff.

Orange Chakra swept across this large area, and the massive Chakra mist released by the Kirigakure Ninja was quickly dispersed.

The enormous figures of the Kurama, the Garaga Fox, the Aoda, and the White Serpent then appeared.

"It's Tailed Beast!!"

"Oh my god!"

"Kurama!"

"And there are also super-large Summoning Beast!"

Looking at the panicked Kirigakure Ninja below, Kurama felt a bit bored. These people were too weak, making it lose all interest in even moving around.

It was not originally bloodthirsty; its initial aversion to humans stemmed from the mistreatment it suffered at the hands of people like Madara, Hashirama, Mito.

Since reconciling with Kushina, Kurama still hates humans, but it generally avoids killing unless absolutely necessary.

"Don't panic!"

"Jōnin the rear! Everyone else, retreat immediately!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The Kirigakure Jōnin the first to calm down and immediately gave orders to the Kirigakure Ninja who were climbing the rock, then threw Kurama with Exploding Tag attached at Kunai.

Roar!

When the Kurama saw that the Kirigakure Ninja below had actually launched an attack on it, its crimson vertical pupils narrowed slightly, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it opened its mouth and let out a roar.

The surging Chakra, accompanied by a violent airflow, directly blew the Kunai and Exploding Tag flying towards it back, and then they exploded in mid-air.

"Ah!"

"Wow!"

The Kirigakure Ninja near the cliff top were instantly thrown into the sea by the powerful shockwave of the explosion, and in an instant, they were thrown into the sea like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

At this moment, Kurama glared at the Kirigakure Ninja below and shouted, "If the Kirigakure dares to step into the Land of Land of Whirlpools' territory again, this is what will happen to them."

The Kurama raised its head high, and then the purplish- Kurama Chakra symbolizing the Yin Release and the blue Chakra symbolizing the Yang Release quickly gathered in its mouth, and then mixed and compressed them in a Yin-Yang ratio of 2:8.

A highly concentrated Chakra ball condensed above the Kurama ' head, gradually growing to an enormous size.

Even those who aren't Sensor Ninja can sense the terrifying power contained within the tangible Tailed Beast Chakra.

This is the ultimate power of the Tailed Beast — the Tailed Beast Ball!

Garaga, Aoda, and White Serpent retreated several miles away the moment the Kurama- Tailed Fox gathered its Tailed Beast Ball.

"Oh my god!"

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

Kaka

The cliff seemed unable to withstand the terrifying weight of the Tailed Beast Ball, and huge cracks began to appear at the top, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. Faced with such a massive Tailed Beast Ball, the Kirigakure Ninja all stared blankly up at the Kurama, seemingly without even the courage to resist.

Whoosh!

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the huge Tailed Beast Ball on the Kurama' head suddenly disappeared, flying over their heads in an instant before landing on the island they had landed on behind them.

Boom--!

With a silent flash, the island dozens of miles behind collapsed instantly, and a huge black mushroom cloud rose up with a roar.

A massive amount of air was forced out, creating a terrifying high-pressure shock wave.

The explosion was followed by several seconds of silence before reaching the ears of the Kirigakure Ninja. The dazzling light caused everyone to close their eyes tightly. At that moment, the earth-shattering explosion resounded through the sky!

It looked as if black snowflakes were falling from the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were not snowflakes at all, but rather the powder of the black rocks on the island that had been blasted into dust.

The distant seawater was massively pushed aside, and under the power of the Tailed Beast Chakra, giant waves surged into the sky, forming a hurricane, as if a huge hole had been punched in the sky.

"Giggle"

The Hidden Kirigakure Ninja below the cliff seemed to have their throats gripped by an invisible hand, unable to utter a sound, only the clattering of their teeth as their bodies trembled.

A large island capable of holding tens of thousands of people vanished in an instant, with warships and combat supplies prepared by Kirigakure still moored around it.

Despite the great distance, the Kurama was able to deliver a precise strike in an instant.

Is this the power of the Tailed Beast?

This is probably a realm that humans can never reach!

Five Great Shinobi Villages have Tailed Beast, Kirigakure is no exception; their Six-Tails Jinchuriki is still in the village.

Previously, I had only read about the horrors of the Tailed Beast in the archives, but only by experiencing it firsthand could I know that what was recorded on paper was far less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.

All the Kirigakure Ninja were stunned. Growing up in the Bloody Mist Village Kirigakure Ninja Village, each of them was full of bloodthirstiness, fearless of death, and determined to defend the reputation of the Kirigakure as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. But when faced with the Kurama, this monster that was like a natural disaster, they were all at a loss for what to do.

Tailed Beast have always been the ultimate weapons and last resort of all the major ninja villages. Even if Ninja World War breaks out, no village will easily send its Jinchuriki to participate in the war unless it is a critical moment.

Because if something happens to Jinchuriki, it will greatly affect the village's deterrent power. More importantly, once Jinchuriki goes out of control, it will not distinguish between friend and foe and will attack all living beings in the surrounding area indiscriminately.

The Kirigakure's attack on the Uzumaki Clan was ordered by its higher-ups. Although many Jōnin opposed it, the Third Mizukage was determined to go his own way, and everyone had no choice but to obey his orders.

No one could have imagined that the Uzumaki Clan would send the Kurama to guard their home.

While Kirigakure, the Uzumaki Clan directly used a 'nuclear weapon' to amplify the attack—it was simply outrageous!

"Retreat!"

"Retreat immediately!"

The leader of the Kirigakure Force swiftly ordered a retreat, demonstrating fearlessness in the face of death, which is fundamentally different from simply throwing oneself to one's own death.

Kurama watched the remnants of Kirigakure retreat without making another move. Its previous Tailed Beast Ball had wiped out Kirigakure's front lines from the sea. Someone had to bring the panic back to Kirigakure so they would understand the price of provoking the Uzumaki Clan.

This is something Kurama learned from Shiraha.

"Lord Kurama Fox, are we just going to let them leave like this?" The White Serpent crawled to the Kurama's side. After witnessing the overwhelming difference in strength between the Kurama Fox and itself, the White Serpent's words became increasingly respectful.

"No need." Kurama shook its head slightly, then looked in another direction, towards the position where Shiraha was stationed, where more Kirigakure Ninja would land.

Kurama soon as Chakra finished speaking, its body rapidly shrank, quickly transforming from a colossal creature twenty or thirty meters tall into a Mini Nine-Tails Fox less than a meter tall. Most of its chakra was still sealed, and it could only use about one-tenth of its Chakra. Its current clone only had less than half of that one-tenth. After releasing the large Tailed Beast Ball, it needed to recover its Chakra.

Anyway, it won't be its turn to fight in the next battle.

"You two stay here, Little White, come with me." With a light leap, Kurama- Tailed Fox jumped onto the top of White Serpent's head, then gave the order to Garaga and Aoda, saying it was going to check on the situation on the front lines.

"Yes!"

Garaga and the Aoda respectfully watched the White Serpent and the Kurama depart.

On the southeastern coast of the Land of Land of Whirlpools, about one kilometer from the beach, a force of about two hundred ninjas was gathered in the mountains.

This is the reinforcement that Konoha sent to support the Uzumaki Clan. There are about a hundred Uchiha Clan Uzumaki Clan ninjas, and the rest are Konoha Ninja sent by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although the support force was small in number, the Uchiha Clan who came were all elites.

Among them were 25 Jōnin, including Uchiha Chiho, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Soujin, and Uchiha Yatshiro, each of whom was an elite member of the Uchiha.

The other Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan at least Chunin, each with considerable strength, and most of them had awakened the Sharingan.

It wasn't because the Uchiha and Uzumaki Clan had a particularly good relationship, but rather because since they had already decided to come and provide support, they naturally couldn't afford to fail.

Moreover, the stronger the supporting ninjas, the higher the survival rate of the clansmen.

The Uchiha Clan wouldn't do something like paying lip service to support others while actually sending out some low-level fodder to make a show of it.

On the contrary, the ninjas sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen were far inferior to the ninjas of the Uchiha Clan in terms of overall skill level.

Of course, the main reason is that the Uchiha Clan is the elite of Konoha's elite, so it's normal that they are not as good as the Uchiha clan.

The Uzumaki Clan does not have many native ninjas. This is mainly because when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the Uzumaki Clan's ninjas were the focus of attention for various countries, resulting in heavy casualties. Although many survivors of the Land of Whirlpools returned, the training of ninjas cannot be done in just a few years. It will take at least a generation before the Uzumaki Clan can train more ninjas.

Currently, besides Shiraha and Kushina, the only other Uzumaki Clan who can somewhat contribute to the clan's reputation are the siblings Sora and Naomi. With the guidance of Shiraha and Kushina, the two have now reached the level of ordinary Jōnin.

"Shiraha, the Kirigakure ninjas are about to land. Shouldn't we ambush them beforehand?"

After Hyuga Hideto activated his Byakugan to observe the enemy's movements, he looked at the composed Shiraha beside him and couldn't help but ask.

Because of his good relationship with Shiraha, and because Sarutobi Hiruzen symbolically sent some reinforcements, Hyuga Hideto volunteered to go.

After Shiraha and Kushina parted ways, the ninjas who had been close to him were all kicked out of the political center.

However, since he was a ninja from the Branch Family, he didn't care about these things.

Especially after hearing Shiraha say that he wanted to study the ' Caged Bird Seal ' and one day give him his freedom, Hyuga Hideto decided to follow Shiraha wholeheartedly.

However, he cannot leave Hyūga and Konoha until the Caged Bird Seal is released.

But this did not change his affections for Shiraha.

"No need," Shiraha shook his head.

Actually, if he and Kushina had joined forces, it would have been much easier to deal with the Kirigakure Village. However, being a ninja is not a kind profession. Only by experiencing the baptism of blood can one grow rapidly. Those below must ultimately experience war in order to grow quickly.

Of course, Shiraha wouldn't let these hard-won talents die easily, so he had already set up Sorcery Array on the beach in advance.

Once the Kirigakure ninjas reach the shore, their strength will be weakened by the suppression of the Sorcery Array. This shift in power will greatly reduce the casualties of the Uzumaki Clan ninjas.

In this operation, Kushina only released the Kurama and did not fight personally. This was partly to preserve her strength, as either Shiraha or she had to refrain from action to make the other nations more wary.

In addition, with the rapid development and expansion of the Medical Group in the Demon Country and the Heavy Industry Factory in the Land of Snow in recent years, they have gradually attracted the attention of other countries. Therefore, Shiraha is unclear whether the move by Kirigakure this time will cause other countries to react.

Kushina is ready to act at any time to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the war between the Uzumaki Clan and Kirigakure to attack the Demon Country and the Land of Snow.

"Why not set traps in advance? That would reduce our casualties," Hizashi Hyuga said. He and Hyuga Hideto were the only two Hyūga clan members in the Konoha. As the younger brother of the Hyuga Clan Head, his presence in the support fully demonstrated the Hyuga clan's emphasis on the Uzumaki Clan.

"Have you forgotten that the Byakugan of your Hyuga clan's previous patriarch was taken by Kirigakure? If they send out ninjas who have successfully transplanted the Byakugan, any traps will be meaningless," Uchiha Yatshiro retorted, his tone laced with sarcasm.

The Uchiha and Hyūga have always been at odds, and even with war imminent, the Uchiha Yatshiro showed no intention of fighting alongside the Hizashi Hyuga.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha Clan achieved remarkable feats despite being at a disadvantage due to the Kirigakure's Chakra nature being countered and the Hidden Mist Technique being effective against the Sharingan.

However, while the Konoha High-Level did reward the Hyuga clan handsomely, the Uchiha received only a symbolic commendation.

While the Uchiha Clan harbors hostility towards the higher-ups, their antagonism towards the Hyuga clan is also growing stronger.

Hizashi Hyuga frowned upon hearing this, but he held back and didn't say anything more.

"Who said I didn't set a trap?" Shiraha said calmly, watching the Kirigakure ninjas begin to land.

"What?" Hizashi Hyuga was taken aback; his Byakugan hadn't detected any traps at all.

"Could it be?" Hizashi Hyuga exclaimed in surprise.

There are very few ways to block the Byakugan's ability to see through things, but the Uzumaki Clan happens to have a barrier that can block the Byakugan's ability to see through things.

"You'll see when you get there!" Shiraha's smile was cold.

Soon, the first batch of Kirigakure Ninja landed quickly. Although they knew they might encounter traps or ambushes, they had to carry out the Third Mizukage's orders, so the first suicide squad rushed to the front and scouted ahead with their own bodies.

"No traps!"

After finding nothing unusual, the Kirigakure forces began landing in large numbers.

Within a short time, hundreds of Kirigakure Ninja set foot on the beach.

The scouting Kirigakure Ninja quickly arrived at a place less than two hundred meters from where Shiraha and the others were hiding.

"Shiraha." Chiho came to Shiraha's side, seemingly preparing for battle.

Shiraha shook his head, then looked at the ninjas behind him and said, "Wait one more minute."

Although everyone was confused, they had no choice but to obey his orders.

At that moment, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the Kirigakure unit.

"Huh? What's wrong? My body is so itchy!"

"Ah! My hand!"

"Ugh~"

"What happened?"

"My eyes! I can't see anything!"

Almost simultaneously, hundreds of Kirigakure Ninja all underwent changes. Some experienced itching all over their bodies, followed by numbness in their hands and feet; some felt tightness in their chests and had difficulty breathing, followed by dizziness and vomiting; and some suddenly went blind, their vision going completely black.

A nameless panic spread rapidly like a plague, and screams echoed everywhere.

"What's going on?" The people behind Shiraha stared wide-eyed, shocked by the sudden change.

If they could sense Energy Field and radiation particles like Shiraha, they would discover the area from a hundred meters in front of them to the point where the beach meets the sea.

The entire space was filled with purplish-black radiation particles.

P. S.: My left hand joint has been hurting for a week. I think I should go to the hospital to get it checked out. Writing for over two years has made me realize I have quite a few occupational hazards—first my eyes, now my hands. Thankfully, I'll finish the last chapter of this month's missed update tomorrow.
