"I want you dead!"
Bloodshot veins crawled across Uchiha Madara's eyes, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan spinning frantically.
"Chirp!"
The gargantuan creature showed no fear, its massive tentacles slamming fiercely toward Uchiha Madara.
Under the enhancement of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the tentacle's originally blinding speed slowed down in his vision.
With a leap, Uchiha Madara skillfully dodged the tentacle's strike, his Fireball Jutsu manifesting almost instantly.
"Boom!"
The Fireball Jutsu struck the gargantuan creature's vulnerable neck.
The gargantuan creature cried out in pain, whipping its head around and spitting out a cloud of glowing powder.
Uchiha Madara darted up and down, dodging desperately to prevent the powder from touching him.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Madara vaulted onto the top of the gargantuan creature's head, aiming directly at its blinking eyes as a viscous, water-like torrent of flame engulfed them.
"Chirp!"
With its eyes scorched, the gargantuan creature shrieked in pain and flapped its massive wings, soaring high into the air.
The force of the wings sent surrounding trees swaying and crashing, while weeds were ripped from the ground.
The scene descended into chaos.
Although its eyes were injured, the impact on the gargantuan creature was minimal; instead, it only incited its ferocity.
Its massive head swung wildly, trying to shake off the "little bug" on its crown.
"Die, die, die!"
Uchiha Madara had lost his composure, roaring madly as the tomoe in his Sharingan spun at top speed.
Trickles of blood began to flow from his eye sockets.
The gargantuan creature shuddered, its wings suddenly ceasing their motion.
Sharingan, Genjutsu activated!
"Boom!"
The gargantuan creature plummeted to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust that filled the air.
Uchiha Madara scrambled to release his grip on the gargantuan creature's tentacle, his left hand still clutching a kunai tightly.
The pain from the impact nearly broke the gargantuan creature out of the genjutsu; its massive body trembled incessantly, and a look of struggle flickered in its eyes.
"Haa!"
Uchiha Madara gasped for air, raising his kunai to stab it into the gargantuan creature's body again and again.
But for a beast dozens of meters long...
It was a drop in the bucket!
The gargantuan creature's struggles grew increasingly violent, sweeping away swathes of surrounding trees.
Finally.
"Chirp!"
The haze vanished from the gargantuan creature's eyes, replaced by pure, concentrated rage.
Countless glowing particles coalesced once more, surging to envelop Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara's Sharingan had faded due to excessive exhaustion, leaving him lying helplessly atop the giant beast.
I'm so unwilling...
Izuna...
Uchiha Madara's expression was one of bitter resentment, yet he was powerless, forced to watch as the glowing powder closed in on him.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
A wooden dragon roughly ten meters in length erupted into existence, slamming violently into the gargantuan creature's body.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Two dark figures appeared, grabbing the exhausted Uchiha Madara and leaping away just before the gargantuan creature was sent flying.
"Madara, are you alright?"
Bowl-Cut Hashirama looked at him with concern.
"Izuna... Izuna..."
Uchiha Madara muttered, his gaze fixed on a patch of wreckage.
"What happened to Izuna!"
Senju Tobirama, standing to the side, grew anxious.
Although Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna had been at each other's throats for the past half-month, constantly breaking into fights, it did not affect their relationship in the slightest; in fact, they had come to view one another as brothers.
Now, with Madara saved from a critical injury and Izuna—who was always inseparable from him—nowhere to be found, Senju Tobirama began to panic.
Madara said nothing, a single line of hot tears streaming down his face in silence.
"Damn it! Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
With a furious roar, Senju Tobirama charged forward recklessly. A verdant water dragon formed in an instant, coiling tightly around the massive creature that had been sent flying.
"Chirp!"
Having been knocked back by the wood dragon and then bound by the water dragon, the creature's rage had reached its boiling point. With a deafening screech, crimson chakra surged upward, and with a violent struggle, the water dragon shattered into a mist that filled the sky.
"Chirp!"
A sphere of ink-black energy condensed in its maw, carrying a majestic, world-destroying pressure.
"Wood Style: Wood-Style: Four-Pillar Prison!"
Four thick wooden pillars descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto the creature's limbs to form a seal. However, for a beast of this size, the seal only served to interrupt it for a fleeting moment. Moments later, it broke free from the four sturdy pillars.
"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"
Senju Tobirama pressed his palms together, and two intertwined pillars of water erupted from beneath the creature, slamming into it with immense force. The creature's massive body was sent flying, and its nearly completed attack was instantly disrupted.
"Water Style: Heaven Tears!"
"Wood Style: Wood Flying Flowers!"
Countless dense water needles and wooden thorns materialized out of thin air, whistling as they surged toward the creature.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A continuous barrage of impacts echoed against the creature's body, drawing a miserable howl from its throat.
"Hah... hah... hah..."
The successive release of ninjutsu left Hashirama and Senju Tobirama overwhelmed, their faces turning deathly pale. After two powerful ninjutsu attacks, the creature was covered in fine lacerations, green blood oozing from the wounds, making for a truly wretched sight. Yet, the creature still possessed combat power that the three of them could not hope to match.
The ink-black energy began to condense in its maw once more. This time, none of the three had the strength left to dodge.
"Go! You must leave!"
Madara struggled to climb to his feet, eyes wide as his Three-Tomoe Sharingan manifested once again. The creature stiffened once more. More and more blood streamed from his eye sockets—a consequence of overusing the Sharingan.
"Clap, clap, clap."
A lean figure appeared, clapping his hands. Beside him stood a smaller figure.
"Teacher!"
"Izuna!"
"Not bad. To be able to fight a Tailed Beast like this at your stage is truly remarkable."
Uchiha Kei appeared before the three of them, bringing the bewildered Uchiha Izuna along. By traveling at full speed, Uchiha Kei had managed to arrive the very moment the glowing powder was about to fully envelop Uchiha Izuna. After using Uhijini's ability to rescue him, Uchiha Kei had not revealed himself immediately. The appearance of a Tailed Beast was a crisis, but it was also a rare opportunity for experience. He wanted to see just how much their strength had improved over the past half-month. The results both delighted Uchiha Kei and left him stunned by their innate combat instincts. This was a Tailed Beast, after all—the pinnacle of combat power in the Naruto World! Even the Seven-Tails Chomei, which ranked at the bottom among the Tailed Beasts, was a creature that ordinary Kage-level shinobi would avoid at all costs.
Freed from the control of the Sharingan, Seven-Tails Chomei began to condense its Tailed Beast Bomb at a significantly faster rate.
"Chirp!"
With a shrill cry, a pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb surged toward the group.
Massive amounts of chakra permeated the entire forest, sending countless birds and beasts fleeing in a panicked scramble.
Is this the deterrent power of a Tailed Beast Bomb?
Uchiha Kei watched the rapidly approaching Tailed Beast Bomb and clicked his tongue in secret.
Although this thing had basically never killed anyone in the anime, the sheer scale of its presence made it worthy of being a top-tier offensive technique.
Uchiha Kei waved his hand.
The impending Tailed Beast Bomb dissipated...
Chomei was left somewhat bewildered...
