A Baffling Battle

It charged directly toward Naruto's position.

"You've got to be kidding me?"

Such an unexpected attack.

Feeling the terrifying chakra radiating from within the waves.

Naruto's expression shifted slightly as his figure instantly leaped into the air.

"Tap, tap!"

With a backward-leaping motion.

He swiftly evaded the rolling waves.

"Splash!"

The water droplets pouring down from the sky.

Were just like a violent thunderstorm.

Soaking Naruto's clothes instantly.

Before Naruto could make any other move.

The already surging sea surface churned once more, erupting into a violent Uzumaki, followed by—

"ROAR!!!"

A terrifying, thunderous bellow.

Suddenly.

A colossal entity appeared directly before Naruto.

A towering figure.

An intense aura.

Terrifying chakra!

And this incredibly familiar form.

"Three-Tails! Isobu!"

Seeing this massive creature appear before him.

Naruto's pupils constricted slightly as he whispered instinctively.

Almost the moment Naruto's words fell.

Their gazes locked directly.

A glimmer of terrifying red light surfaced in Isobu's pupils.

The next second.

"Are you serious!? Such an exaggerated welcome gift!?"

Its mouth opened wide.

A dense sphere of chakra manifested directly.

A heavy aura.

An overwhelming pressure.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

This was practically the template for opening with an ultimate move.

Even Naruto couldn't help but change his expression at this moment.

There was no need to search anymore.

The opponent had come to provide 'door-to-door service!'

Didn't they say the Three-Tails had a relatively mild temper among the Tailed Beasts!?

Naruto didn't even have time to complain.

"BOOM!"

The chakra condensed with incredible speed.

In manga and anime, the Tailed Beast Ball might seem to take a long time to condense just to build tension and ensure the audience can see it clearly, but in reality, this was a move the Tailed Beasts had used countless times; they could fire it right from the start!
