Uchiha Chen VS Shukaku!! (Seeking Follow-up Reads!!)

"Kill, kill, kill! You all deserve to die!"

Shukaku swung its claws and tail simultaneously, sweeping them toward the surrounding ninjas.

"Pfft!"

"Ah!"

Whether they were ninjas from Sunagakure Village or Konoha, those who failed to dodge were sent flying instantly. Those at the Chunin level were crushed to death on the spot, and even the Jonin were left severely wounded!

Shukaku's indiscriminate attack terrified the surrounding ninjas, sending them scrambling away at full speed without a moment's hesitation.

In a mere few minutes, no ninja dared to approach within a five-hundred-meter radius of Shukaku.

Except for Uchiha Chen, who stood with his arms crossed about three hundred meters directly in front of the beast.

"That's Sunagakure Village's One-Tail, Shukaku! How could they actually unleash it?"

"The Tailed Beast is heading straight for Uchiha Chen! Oh no, he's in danger!"

"What's going on? Has Uchiha Chen been scared witless? Why isn't he running?"

"Tell me... is there a possibility that Uchiha Chen is a match for the One-Tail?"

"Have you lost your mind too? On what grounds could Uchiha Chen possibly be a match for Shukaku?"

"Haven't you noticed that Lord Jiraiya and Lord Namikaze Minato haven't moved to assist..."

On the battlefield, ninjas from both Sunagakure and Konoha were stunned by the sudden appearance of the behemoth. They stopped fighting in unison and retreated to their respective camps to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Trying to look cool in front of me?"

"Go to hell!"

Shukaku laughed arrogantly, its giant claws extending with incredible speed as it swiped directly at Uchiha Chen.

Uchiha Chen's expression turned solemn. After all, this was his first time facing a Tailed Beast in person; the power of a Tailed Beast was not something that individuals like Pakura or Ya could compare to.

"Ultra Big Ball Rasengan!"

Uchiha Chen extended his right hand, palm upward. As chakra condensed, a palm-sized Rasengan formed. It expanded rapidly, and within moments, its volume had grown to six or seven times the size of a water vat.

The moment the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan formed, Uchiha Chen leaped into the air, then dove downward, slamming it fiercely into the One-Tail's rising claw.

"BOOM!!!"

The moment the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan collided with the claw, a series of roars erupted, and a super-strong energy storm swept out in all directions.

Although the main forces of both sides had anticipated this and retreated far away, the range of the energy storm was so vast that many ninjas were still caught in the aftermath!

Each ninja struggled with all their might to resist the gale generated by the energy storm. The weaker ones were blown more than ten meters away, and only those at the Jonin level or above could see the situation on the front lines while resisting the storm.

"Uchiha Chen actually blocked Shukaku's attack!"

"This... what kind of ninjutsu is this? How is its power so terrifying?"

"It looks like the Rasengan created by Lord Namikaze Minato, but I've never seen Lord Namikaze Minato use it at such a scale!"

"What a terrifying amount of chakra. Surely he must be drained after using that once, right?"

The eyes of the Konoha ninjas who were unaffected had completely changed as they looked at Uchiha Chen. Their worry, confusion, and unease had all transformed into shock and excitement!

A human boy was actually capable of unleashing such a ninjutsu!

The gaze of the One-Tail, Shukaku, also began to shift. It hadn't expected such a seemingly weak human to be able to block its attack.

Moreover, the pressure coming from that sphere was significant; it was forced to increase its strength to cope.

As expected, standard ninjutsu isn't enough to deal with a Tailed Beast. It seems I have to use that technique.

Uchiha Chen looked at the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan and the Tailed Beast's claw locked in a stalemate, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Pushing the Ultra Big Ball Rasengan forward, Uchiha Chen used the momentum to jump backward, quickly putting distance between them.

"Hmph, finally out of chakra, are you?"

As the last bit of chakra in the Rasengan vanished, the One-Tail couldn't help but laugh wildly again, its shrill voice echoing across the entire battlefield.

"As expected, he still couldn't contend with a Tailed Beast, could he?"

"But to be able to stand against a Tailed Beast for so long and walk away unscathed is already impressive!"

"Next, it should be Lord Namikaze Minato or Lord Jiraiya stepping in, right?"

"No, look! Uchiha Chen is condensing chakra again. But why does his chakra look a bit different?"

Across the entire battlefield, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Chen as he faced Shukaku.

"Go to hell! Wind Style: Air Bullet!"

Shukaku opened its massive, bloodthirsty maw and slapped its giant claw against its belly, instantly spitting out several enormous, high-speed wind spheres!

Let's see if you die this time.

Shukaku narrowed its eyes, the corners of its mouth curling upward uncontrollably, stretching almost to its ears.

But soon, the smile on Shukaku's face froze.

"Sage Art: Wind Style: Multiple Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken!"

Uchiha Chen's eyes had somehow gained two yellow eyeshadow markings. Like a man throwing shuriken, he waved his hands incessantly, hurling Big Ball Rasenshuriken formed from sage chakra forward as if they cost nothing at all.

"Bang!!"

"Bang, bang!!!"

A continuous series of explosions rang out, one after another, as the energy storms generated by the blasts surged in relentless waves.

The ground was steadily eroded by the storm; "scraping three feet of earth" would not be an exaggeration!

Shukaku's Air Bullets were completely exhausted, yet several of Uchiha Chen's Big Ball Rasenshuriken remained, slamming mercilessly into the beast's massive body.

"Thud!"

"Thud, thud!!"

The powerful impact forced Shukaku to retreat, its gargantuan frame causing the ground to tremble with every step as if an earthquake were occurring. It stumbled back more than ten paces before finally managing to steady itself.

"Sage Art—Super-Ultra Big Ball Rasengan!"

Uchiha Chen pressed his advantage, pouring sage chakra into the Rasengan in his hand until he had fashioned a sphere comparable in size to Shukaku's own body!

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned.

Even Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked no better.

"Whoosh!"

Like an arrow released from a bow, Uchiha Chen carried the gargantuan Rasengan and suddenly appeared before the still-unsteady Shukaku, slamming it down with all his might.

"BOOM!!!"

In an instant, the world lost its color, and the blinding light made it impossible for anyone to see what was happening on the field.

An energy storm, ten times more violent than the previous one, spread across the entire battlefield.

"Run!!"

Everyone fled toward their respective camps in terror, not even daring to look back, fearing that if they were a second too slow, they would lose their lives.
