Tailed Beast? How Many Nukes Can He Withstand?

Itachi Uchiha's expression was grave; he had originally assumed the purpose of this trip was to protect his two younger brothers.

Yet, the scene that had just unfolded—Uchiha Sora was unexpectedly ferocious!

The strange weapon in his hand was actually capable of chasing Gaara down.

What was Gaara's status? He was Sunagakure Village's secret weapon for their surprise attack on Konoha Village.

He was at least at the level of a village-destroying threat; in modern terms, he was a nuclear weapon.

And yet, he was currently being chased by a genin until he was scrambling for his life.

Now that the Tailed Beast mode had been forced out, looking at that colossal monster, Itachi Uchiha—who should have been anxious—felt not a shred of panic.

For some reason, he felt that Sora had a way to deal with this guy.

Looking at that confident expression, he should be fine!

Itachi Uchiha hesitated for a moment.

"Itachi! Isn't your goal to protect your brothers? Why don't I go in your place?"

Deidara's hands were itching; he couldn't wait any longer to meet this like-minded little friend of his.

"No need! It's just a mere Tailed Beast; he should be able to handle it!"

Itachi Uchiha was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"What! Sora can handle it?"

Orochimaru was dumbfounded; his already large mouth opened even wider.

What was going on? This was far too arrogant!

That was a Tailed Beast! Even if it was only the One-Tail, and arguably the weakest among the Tailed Beasts.

But that was still not something a genin could deal with!

The two were simply not in the same weight class.

Not only him, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing to the side, also wore a grave expression and couldn't help but roar out loud.

"Itachi Uchiha! That is your own younger brother; aren't you just letting him die?"

"Based on what I know of you, your purpose in coming here was for Sora and Sasuke. Why aren't you making a move now!"

"Have you truly gone mad? If those two die, you will be the only one left of the Uchiha Clan!"

This was the cold, hard truth. Even Orochimaru and the ninjas from Sunagakure Village knew that Itachi was just there to make up the numbers.

In truth, he hadn't made a move; standing here now, he was merely a figurehead.

His only goal was to protect his brothers.

Otherwise, if he joined forces with Orochimaru and added Deidara to the mix, never mind one Hokage—even if all five Kage were present, they could likely fight to a stalemate.

They wouldn't be dawdling here for so long.

As for Deidara, he was the same as the Uchiha; he was just there to fill the ranks without putting in any real effort.

Therefore, while this lineup looked luxurious, it was no different from the original history.

It was still just Orochimaru doing all the heavy lifting.

But everyone, including Orochimaru, had long been mentally prepared for this.

In their view, even just showing their faces was enough to suppress quite a few people.

At this moment, Orochimaru chuckled and glanced at Itachi Uchiha.

"Could it be that you've finally figured it out? Are you planning to sever all ties? That's fine, too; from now on, you'll have no burdens!"

"Why don't you help me kill this old man..."

Itachi Uchiha let out a cold snort, cutting him off directly.

"Shut up! If you spout any more nonsense, I will turn my attention to you."

Orochimaru curled his lip, not daring to say anything more. He understood that Itachi Uchiha had the qualifications to threaten him.

Orochimaru turned his head and performed hand seals; fireballs rained down from the sky, plummeting toward Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hmph! Let's just kill this old man first; everything else will be easy to handle!"

"Besides, there aren't many strong fighters left in Konoha Village. As long as I keep the old Hokage occupied, Shukaku alone will be enough to destroy Konoha Village!"

Having said that, he performed a series of seals again. Suddenly, vines as thick as water vats extended from the ground.

They moved as if they were alive, coordinating with the fireballs and weaving through them as they struck directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Heh! Orochimaru, if it were just you here today, the outcome would still be hard to call!"

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his fingertip, drawing two bloody streaks across his arm.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very anxious, seeing a Tailed Beast appear in the village.

But he was unable to stop it in time.

Yet, he also understood just how troublesome Orochimaru was.

He had no way to distract himself now, so he could only pray in his heart, praying that Sora could create a miracle.

Although, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not understand why he would think a genin could defeat a Tailed Beast.

It sounded completely absurd.

But regardless, having witnessed Uchiha Sora pull out strange weapons time and time again.

He could not help but fantasize.

At this moment, he shook his head and slammed his hands onto the ground.

Bang!

A monkey with gray-white fur appeared!

It was the unique summoning beast of Hiruzen Sarutobi's clan.

Just like Jiraiya, it was Enma, with whom the entire clan had signed a contract!

"Enma! We need to give it our all today, protect the village, protect the children!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered, his aged hands still powerful and muscular.

That large black staff suddenly extended infinitely.

It transformed into the size of a skyscraper and smashed down directly onto Orochimaru!

Enma roared, his body like a bolt of white lightning, coordinating with the Hokage as he instantly closed in behind Orochimaru.

His claws, seemingly capable of tearing through steel, reached out to crush Orochimaru's skull!

"Heh! It's useless! You are at the end of your rope today..."

Orochimaru cracked his mouth open and took the hit head-on, neither more nor less.

In an instant, his head exploded, and his body was crushed into smithereens by the staff.

But a moment later, several small snakes emerged from thin air, wriggling together to reform a new Orochimaru.

Deidara watched this scene with a look of disgust.

"As expected, no matter how many times I see it, this guy is just disgusting... By comparison, art is much more appealing to me!"

As he spoke, Deidara turned his head to look at the battlefield below.

At this moment, the massive Shukaku occupied nearly half of the village square with its entire body.

A single eye was comparable to a house, and it stared straight at Uchiha Sora.

Its mouth was wide open, resembling a split mountain, and the gap in its maw was like a cliff.

The gale blowing from within seemed capable of blowing anyone away at any moment.

Seeing such a behemoth standing before him, Uchiha Sora was not the least bit flustered, remaining calm and composed.

He simply smiled faintly, took a few steps back, and pulled a golden bullet from his pocket.

At the tip of the bullet, there was a trace of pale blue fluorescence.

It looked weak, like a firefly compared to the bright moon when contrasted with the massive monster.

But Uchiha Sora knew that this was the key to victory.

He sneered.

"Tailed Beast? How many nukes can you withstand!"

Having said that, Uchiha Sora skillfully pulled out his AK-47, quickly loaded the bullet, pulled the trigger, unlocked the safety, and chambered a round.

The entire process was smooth and fluid!

Finally, Uchiha Sora raised his gun and aimed at the massive Shukaku.

The pitch-black muzzle was like the eyes of the Grim Reaper!
