Seven-Tails Chomei

"I'm going to kill you!"

Bloodshot eyes fixed on Madara as the Three Tomoe spun wildly.

"Chirp!"

The colossal beast showed no fear. Its enormous antennae slammed toward Madara.

With the Three-Tomoe Sharingan enhancing his vision, the antennae, which had been moving incredibly fast, now seemed to slow down.

Madara leaped aside, deftly evading the attack, and unleashed a Fireball Jutsu almost instantly.

"Boom!"

The Fireball struck a weak spot on the colossal beast's neck.

The beast cried out in pain and hurriedly turned its head, spitting out countless glowing particles.

Madara darted back and forth, desperately dodging the particles and keeping them from touching him.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Seizing his chance, Madara leaped onto the beast's head. He aimed at its blinking eyes and sent a torrent of viscous flames pouring over them.

"Chirp!"

With its eyes injured, the beast let out a pained cry and beat its huge wings, soaring high into the air.

The gusts from its wings sent the surrounding trees toppling and swept the weeds off the ground.

Chaos engulfed the area.

Though its eyes were injured, the wound didn't affect the beast much. Instead, it only made it more ferocious.

Its massive head thrashed about, trying to shake the "little bug" on top of it loose.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Madara had also begun to lose control, screaming wildly as the tomoe in his Sharingan spun at dizzying speed.

Thin streams of blood trickled from his eyes.

The beast shuddered, its wings abruptly stopping mid-beat.

Sharingan: Genjutsu!

"Boom!"

The beast crashed to the ground, sending up clouds of dust.

Madara shakily released one of the beast's antennae, still gripping the kunai in his left hand.

The pain of its fall nearly broke the beast free of the genjutsu. Its massive body trembled, a look of struggle in its eyes.

"Hah!"

Madara panted heavily, raised his kunai, and stabbed into the beast again and again.

But against a beast dozens of meters long...

It was a mere drop in the ocean!

The beast struggled more and more violently, sweeping away tree after tree around it.

At last.

"Chirp!"

The confusion vanished from the beast's eyes, replaced by seething rage.

Countless glowing particles gathered again, swirling toward Madara to engulf him.

Madara's Sharingan had vanished from overuse, and he could only lie helplessly atop the beast.

How frustrating...

Izuna...

Madara's face twisted with helpless fury as he watched the glowing particles close in around him.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A wooden dragon, about ten meters long, appeared out of nowhere and slammed into the beast.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Two dark figures appeared, grabbed the exhausted Madara, and leaped down before the beast could be sent flying.

"Madara, are you all right?"

Bowl-Cut Hashirama looked at him with concern.

"Izuna... Izuna..."

Madara murmured, gazing toward a wrecked area nearby.

"What happened to Izuna?!"

Senju Tobirama panicked.

Though Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna had been at each other's throats and often fought during the past half month, it hadn't affected their relationship at all. They even regarded each other as brothers.

Now Madara had been rescued, gravely injured, while Izuna, who had been inseparable from him, was nowhere to be seen.

Senju Tobirama began to panic.

Madara said nothing. A hot tear silently ran down his cheek.

"Damn it! Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Senju Tobirama roared and charged forward without hesitation. A blue-green water dragon took shape in an instant, coiling tightly around the beast as it flew through the air.

"Chirp!"

The beast had first been sent flying by the Wood Dragon, then bound by the Water Dragon. Its fury had already reached its limit.

It roared, red chakra surging around it. With a mighty struggle, the Water Dragon burst into a cloud of mist.

"Chirp!"

A mass of black energy gathered in its mouth, carrying an overwhelming force that seemed capable of destroying the world.

"Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison!"

Four thick wooden pillars fell from the sky, crashing down onto the beast's limbs and forming a seal.

But for the beast, the seal only interrupted it for an instant.

Moments later, it tore free of the four thick pillars.

"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"

Senju Tobirama pressed his hands together. Two intertwined columns of water surged up from beneath the beast and slammed it into the air.

The beast's massive body shot upward, interrupting the attack it had nearly finished charging.

"Water Style: Heaven Tears!"

"Wood Style: Wood Flying Flowers!"

Countless densely packed water needles and wooden spikes appeared out of thin air, whistling toward the beast.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A relentless barrage of impacts rang out against the beast's body, drawing pained cries from it.

"Hah... hah..."

The continuous barrage of jutsu had pushed both Hashirama and Senju Tobirama to their limits, leaving them pale.

After the two powerful attacks, the beast was covered in tiny wounds, green blood running from them. It looked utterly miserable.

But it still had strength the three of them couldn't match!

Black energy began gathering in its mouth once more.

This time, none of the three had the strength to dodge.

"Go! Get out of here!"

Madara struggled to his feet, eyes wide as the Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared again.

The beast froze once more.

More and more blood ran from his eyes.

It was caused by overusing the Sharingan!

"Clap, clap, clap."

A slender figure appeared, applauding.

A short figure stood beside him.

"Sensei!"

"Izuna!"

"Not bad. To hold your own against a Tailed Beast at your current level is impressive."

Uchiha Kei appeared before the three of them, with a bewildered Uchiha Izuna beside him.

Rushing at full speed, Uchiha Kei had arrived just as the glowing particles were about to completely engulf Uchiha Izuna.

After using Uhijini's power to rescue Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Kei hadn't appeared right away.

The Tailed Beast's arrival was a crisis for them, but it was also a rare opportunity to gain experience.

He wanted to see just how much stronger they had become over the past half month.

The result delighted Uchiha Kei. He was also amazed by the three's innate combat instincts.

This was a Tailed Beast, one of the top combat forces in the Naruto World!

Even the Seven-Tails, the weakest among the Tailed Beasts, was an opponent that ordinary Kage Level shinobi would avoid at all costs!

Freed from the Sharingan's control, Seven-Tails Chomei gathered a Tailed Beast Bomb much faster.

"Chirp!"

With a cry, the black Tailed Beast Bomb hurtled toward them.

Its massive chakra flooded the entire forest, sending countless birds and beasts fleeing in panic.

"So this is the power of a Tailed Beast Bomb?"

Uchiha Kei watched the Tailed Beast Bomb hurtling toward them and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Though it had basically never killed anyone in the anime, that kind of spectacle certainly made it worthy of being considered a top-tier attack.

Uchiha Kei waved his hand.

The incoming Tailed Beast Bomb vanished...

Chomei was stunned...
