Although the Third Hokage's attack power and critical-hit rate were quite impressive, he had a weakness: his defense was lacking, and he was far too slow.
As for the Fifth Hokage, the current Hokage Tsunade, her standout traits were critical hits and recovery. Whether she could stand against a Tailed Beast remained uncertain, but she seemed to be only slightly better than the Third Hokage.
At this moment, Hinata had completely lost any desire to keep wearing down the Tailed Beast.
The reason was naturally very simple: it was boring. Yes, truly, utterly boring.
And she was not just bragging when she said it was boring.
So she was tired of it. She wanted to end the battle directly, then go straight home to distort reality after she was done.
Thus, she launched her counterattack in the very next second.
With a squeeze of her hand, she formed a Planet-Devastator.
Then, she suddenly opened a spatial passage and, in the next instant, appeared at the side of the Tailed Beast's body.
She immediately slammed the Planet-Devastator toward the Tailed Beast.
It quickly came into contact with the Tailed Beast.
Yet, the Planet-Devastator did not immediately undergo any change.
Instead, just as it had when dealing with the Tailed Beast Bomb, it directly enveloped the entire Tailed Beast, seemingly adding a spherical shield around its body.
Having sensed something, the Tailed Beast Matatabi immediately let out a roar.
She stretched out her front claws and began attacking wildly in every direction, but every strike was blocked by that seemingly thin white barrier.
Hinata paid no attention to what seemed to be the Tailed Beast's hysterical struggle.
Instead, a faint curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
Then, she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers before everyone's eyes.
