Encountering Uchiha on the Way to Escape, Unable to Win Despite All Efforts!

Through the combined efforts of Saiken and Xuan Yu, the vast majority of Saiken's chakra was extracted from Utakata's body.

However, it was at this very moment that Saiken discovered something that filled it with immense fury.

The flaws in the "vessel" that was Utakata were vanishing at an astonishing speed.

"No!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted from Saiken's maw.

But it was to no avail; a small portion of its chakra remained trapped within Utakata.

That tiny remnant of chakra, gripped by sheer terror, transformed back into a miniature version of Saiken within the sealing space.

In the eyes of the tiny Saiken, there was both panic and rage; it had never imagined such a thing could happen.

Under Xuan Yu's precise control, Utakata, having been stripped of most of his Tailed Beast chakra, did not die.

He did not even feel much discomfort; since he no longer needed to expend vast amounts of mental energy and chakra to suppress the Six-Tails, he even felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

Compared to Utakata, the Six-Tails' mood was far from pleasant.

As a lifeform composed of chakra, even if a Tailed Beast were to be obliterated, it would eventually regain consciousness and strength as its chakra gradually condensed and recovered, but that was a painful and lengthy process.

Among the nine Tailed Beasts, aside from the Eight-Tails, which frequently lost its chakra-formed tentacles for various reasons, the other beasts had no experience with such high-frequency loss of their own chakra.

Although the vast majority of its chakra had escaped the cage, the Six-Tails was still furious to the extreme.

The Six-Tails' chakra quickly took the form of the beast itself within the forest.

It looked somewhat like a white slug with six tails.

"Roar!"

After appearing, the Six-Tails immediately roared at the sky.

Its thick tails swept through the surroundings with the force of an army crushing all in its path, shattering the nearby trees into fragments.

A terrifying power swept toward Xuan Yu and Utakata amidst the flying sand and stones.

Xuan Yu grabbed Utakata and activated his Speed Force talent.

Whoosh—

In the perception of the Six-Tails, a golden flash of incredible speed appeared for a fleeting instant.

Utakata, too, had no idea what had happened.

He only felt a tap on his shoulder from Xuan Yu, and by the time he regained his senses, he was already outside the battlefield.

Having delivered him to a safe area, Xuan Yu reappeared before the Six-Tails.

Facing a formidable enemy like the Six-Tails, Xuan Yu did not hold back, directly activating a powerful technique of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Susanoo!"

"Boom!"

As the Six-Tails swung its tail again, a massive, dark-red, transparent skeletal structure suddenly exploded into existence around Xuan Yu.

After this colossal dark-red skeleton appeared, it continued to change rapidly.

First, flesh and blood sprouted upon the bones, transforming it into a giant War God with an upper body.

Immediately following, the giant War God gradually grew legs, and Susanoo dual blades appeared in its hands.

Xuan Yu's figure appeared on the forehead of the dark-red transparent War God.

With the dual blades in hand, Xuan Yu immediately controlled the Susanoo War God, slashing fiercely toward the Six-Tails.

Although his and Obito's exclusive ocular technique was both Kamui, the color of his Susanoo was different from Obito's.

The exclusive weapons of the Susanoo were not entirely the same either, at least in terms of their hue.

Once Xuan Yu activated Susanoo, he began a hearty, full-scale battle against the Six-Tails.

In the distance, Utakata was left completely stunned.

What kind of power is this! Not only was his face etched with shock, but his heart was also overwhelmed with an indescribable sense of awe.

When the Six-Tails had gone berserk, he had thought that was the most terrifying power in the world.

Now, witnessing the battle between the near-full-strength Six-Tails and Xuan Yu, he finally understood that a ninja's strength could reach such heights!

Not far from Utakata, armor had already begun to manifest on Xuan Yu's Susanoo War God.

Once the form of the armor evolved further and wings sprouted from its back, it would be the Complete Body Susanoo.

However, at this stage, Xuan Yu could not yet reach that level.

But it was not a problem; relying on Susanoo and his current comprehensive abilities, taking down a Six-Tails was entirely feasible.

"Roar!"

Under Utakata's gaze, the Six-Tails and Xuan Yu clashed once more.

The Six-Tails opened its maw wide, and a sky-covering mist of white acid surged toward Xuan Yu.

In an instant, the area around Xuan Yu seemed to transform into a world filled with acidic fog.

Before the acid mist could completely envelop him, the towering figure of the Susanoo War God vanished, reappearing instantly behind the Six-Tails.

"Swish—"

The Six-Tails' reaction was not slow; its six massive tails whipped around, lashing out violently toward the Susanoo War God.

Xuan Yu controlled the Susanoo War God, bringing its dual blades down in a fierce strike.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The six thick tails of the Six-Tails collided heavily with the Susanoo, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to sway, while ear-splitting explosions rang out incessantly.

A massive ring of chakra clouds erupted at that moment, sweeping and ravaging in every direction.

Countless towering trees were uprooted, and the surrounding forest was instantly pulverized into a sky full of wood fragments.

Large rocks scattered across the ground were also reduced to dust under the terrifying impact.

Fighting to this point, the Six-Tails realized it was not facing an ordinary opponent.

It did not hesitate, and a massive Tailed Beast Bomb began to condense within its mouth.

A vast amount of chakra was continuously drawn in by the Six-Tails, and the pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb in its maw took shape rapidly.

Xuan Yu was well aware of the power of a Tailed Beast Bomb.

He also understood that when a tailed beast unleashed such an attack, it required time to gather chakra.

Dealing with abilities that had such long wind-up times was his specialty.

If he allowed the Six-Tails to release the Tailed Beast Bomb at its peak state, then all his intelligence regarding the ninja world would have been for nothing.

Therefore, as the Six-Tails began to charge its Tailed Beast Bomb, Xuan Yu did not hesitate, decisively utilizing his Susanoo's unique ability—Kamui Shuriken!

Hatake Kakashi had once used this ability to even sever the tail of the Ten-Tails.

Now, with Xuan Yu using it against the Six-Tails, there would absolutely be no issues.

"Hum—"

Two massive, dark red shuriken quickly appeared in Xuan Yu's hands.

A vast amount of chakra surged into these two giant dark red shuriken at an incredible speed.

Without waiting for the Six-Tails to continue brewing its Tailed Beast Bomb, Xuan Yu launched his attack first.

"Kamui Shuriken!"

"Swish! Swish!"

The two giant shuriken instantly tore through the air, slashing toward the Six-Tails.

The Tailed Beast Bomb brewing in the Six-Tails' mouth was far from its full potential.

But there was no choice; the Kamui Shuriken hurtling toward it made the beast feel an intense sense of crisis.

Facing such a terrifying attack, it had no choice but to use the Tailed Beast Bomb to counter it.
