The Nine-Tails let out a miserable scream.
Its mountain-sized body was forcibly dragged several meters forward by that suction force.
Its four claws gouged deep trenches across the water's surface.
"You bastard, you deceived me!"
The Nine-Tails' eyes nearly popped out, every hair on its body standing on end.
"Didn't you say ten percent? This is almost twenty percent already!"
