A Chance Encounter with the Uchiha While Escaping-Giving It Everything and Still Unable to Win!

With Saiken and Xuan Yu working together, most of Saiken's Chakra escaped from Utakata's body.

But at that moment, Saiken noticed something that made him furious beyond words.

The damage to Utakata, its "vessel," was disappearing at an astonishing rate.

"No!"

A thunderous roar immediately burst from Saiken's mouth.

But it made no difference. A small portion of its Chakra was still trapped inside Utakata.

That tiny remnant of Chakra was terrified. Within the sealing space, it transformed back into a miniature Saiken.

The little Saiken's eyes were filled with both fear and fury. It had never imagined something like this could happen.

Under Xuan Yu's precise control, Utakata, who had been drained of most of the Tailed Beast Chakra, didn't die.

He didn't even feel particularly unwell. No longer needing to expend so much effort and Chakra suppressing the Six-Tails, he actually felt lighter all over.

Compared to Utakata, the Six-Tails was in a much worse mood.

As beings made of Chakra, the Tailed Beasts could regain their consciousness and power as their Chakra gradually gathered and recovered, even if they were reduced to nothing. But the process was long and painful.

Among the Nine Tailed Beasts, only the Eight-Tails often lost its Chakra-made tentacles for various reasons. The others had no experience frequently losing their own Chakra.

Though most of the Six-Tails' Chakra had escaped its prison, it was still utterly furious.

The Six-Tails' Chakra soon took on the shape of the Six-Tails in the forest.

It looked somewhat like a white Slug with six tails.

"Roar!"

As soon as it appeared, the Six-Tails threw back its head and roared.

Its thick tails swept out with the force of a thousand troops, reducing every nearby tree to splinters.

A terrifying force surged through the flying sand and stones, hurtling toward Xuan Yu and Utakata.

Xuan Yu grabbed Utakata and activated his Speed Force ability.

"Whoosh—"

In the Six-Tails' perception, a golden flash appeared for an instant, moving at an unimaginable speed.

Utakata had no idea what had happened, either.

He only felt Xuan Yu tap his shoulder. When he came to his senses again, he was already outside the battlefield.

After sending him to safety, Xuan Yu appeared once more in front of the Six-Tails.

Facing such a formidable foe, Xuan Yu didn't hold back. He immediately unleashed one of the Mangekyō Sharingan's most powerful abilities.

"Susanoo!"

"Boom!"

As the Six-Tails swept another tail toward him, a massive, translucent skeleton of dark red erupted around Xuan Yu.

The enormous, translucent skeleton continued to change rapidly.

First, flesh grew over its bones, forming a giant War God with an upper body.

Then the giant War God gradually grew legs, and a pair of Susanoo swords appeared in its hands.

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

With a sword in each hand, Xuan Yu immediately controlled the Susanoo War God to swing both blades and slash at the Six-Tails.

Though he and Obito both had Kamui as their signature ocular technique, the colors of their Susanoo were different.

Their Susanoo's signature weapons weren't exactly the same, either. At the very least, their colors differed.

After activating Susanoo, Xuan Yu began an exhilarating giant-robot battle with the Six-Tails.

Far away, Utakata could only stare in stunned disbelief.

"What kind of power is this?" Utakata was stunned, his mind reeling.

When the Six-Tails had gone on a rampage, he'd thought it was the most terrifying power in the world.

But only now, after seeing the Six-Tails at nearly full strength fight Xuan Yu, did he realize that a ninja could be this powerful!

Not far away, armor had already appeared on Xuan Yu's Susanoo War God.

Once the armor's shape changed further and a pair of wings grew from its back, it would become the Perfect Susanoo.

But at the moment, Xuan Yu still couldn't reach that stage.

That wasn't a problem. With Susanoo and Xuan Yu's overall abilities at their current level, defeating the Six-Tails wouldn't be difficult.

"Roar!"

As Utakata watched, the Six-Tails and Xuan Yu clashed once more.

The Six-Tails opened its mouth, unleashing a vast cloud of white acid mist that swept toward Xuan Yu.

In an instant, the world around Xuan Yu seemed to fill with acidic fog.

But before the mist could engulf him, the towering figure of the Susanoo War God vanished. When it appeared again, it was already behind the Six-Tails.

"Whoosh—"

The Six-Tails reacted quickly. Its six enormous tails swept around and lashed fiercely at the Susanoo War God.

Xuan Yu, meanwhile, controlled the Susanoo War God and brought both swords crashing down.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The Six-Tails' six thick tails slammed into Susanoo, shaking the earth in an instant. Explosions that could split the clouds and shatter stone rang out without pause.

A massive ring of Chakra clouds burst open, sweeping violently in every direction.

Countless towering trees were uprooted, and the surrounding forest exploded into a storm of splintered wood.

The many rocks scattered across the ground were reduced to dust by the terrifying impact.

By this point in the fight, the Six-Tails understood that this was no ordinary opponent.

Without hesitation, it began gathering an enormous Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth.

Vast amounts of Chakra streamed toward the Six-Tails, and the black Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth rapidly took shape.

Xuan Yu knew how powerful a Tailed Beast Bomb was.

He also knew that a Tailed Beast needed time to gather Chakra before firing one.

He was the perfect counter to abilities with such a long windup.

If he let the Six-Tails unleash a Tailed Beast Bomb at full power, all his knowledge of the ninja world would be useless.

So when the Six-Tails began forming its Tailed Beast Bomb, Xuan Yu didn't hesitate. He immediately used the signature ability of his Susanoo—Kamui Shuriken!

Hatake Kakashi had once used this ability to cut off even one of the Ten-Tails' tails.

There was no doubt it would work against the Six-Tails.

"Vmmm—"

Two enormous dark-red shuriken soon appeared in Xuan Yu's hands.

Vast amounts of Chakra poured into the two giant dark-red shuriken at incredible speed.

Before the Six-Tails could continue building its Tailed Beast Bomb, Xuan Yu launched his attack.

"Kamui Shuriken!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two enormous shuriken streaked across the sky, slashing toward the Six-Tails.

The Tailed Beast Bomb forming in the Six-Tails' mouth was nowhere near full strength.

But it had no choice. The Kamui Shuriken rushing toward it filled it with an intense sense of danger.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, it could only use its Tailed Beast Bomb to fight back.
