Hearing Uchiha Yansheng's words, the Eight-Tails fell silent for a moment.

After a while, the Eight-Tails finally spoke. "Fine, but you have to tell me what you want Tailed Beast Chakra for."

"And you must spare Killer B and... the Two-Tails' jinchuriki."

Whether because they were unfamiliar with each other or for some other reason, the Eight-Tails actually didn't know Yugito Nii's name.

Even though Killer B and the Raikage had both called out Yugito Nii's name just now.

"Do you think you're qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

Uchiha Yansheng controlled the chakra within Susanoo, pulling the unconscious Two-Tails Yugito Nii from the ground to his side and placing a series of sealing techniques on her.

"Are you sure you want to take that hit? I can't guarantee the consequences."

At this moment, the Tailed Beast Bomb in the Eight-Tails' mouth had finished forming.

It contained most of the Eight-Tails' chakra. He had never used an attack like this before, nor did he know just how much destruction such an enormous Tailed Beast Bomb could unleash.

Clearly, the Eight-Tails was threatening Uchiha Yansheng.

Looking at the Tailed Beast Bomb, which was not much smaller than the Ten-Tails he remembered in terms of sheer size, Uchiha Yansheng considered it for a moment before speaking.

"Fine. I agree."

With that, Uchiha Yansheng threw Yugito Nii to him, and the glowing Four Crimson Yang Formation in the distance was dispelled at that moment as well.

Nara Shikaku had still been chatting with the Fourth Raikage, hoping to probe some information out of him, when the Four Crimson Yang Formation suddenly vanished...

Looking at the Fourth Raikage standing right in front of him, then sensing the chakra he had completely exhausted on that all-show-no-substance trap just now...

...No saving this. Just wait to die.

Although that thought flashed through his mind, Nara Shikaku knew he would be fine.

Sure enough, although the Four Crimson Yang Formation had disappeared, the Fourth Raikage did not attack. Instead, he spoke with a desolate expression.

"Cloud Village has lost this war."

Though trapped inside the Four Crimson Yang Formation, the Fourth Raikage could naturally see the battle in the distance clearly.

He understood that if they persisted stubbornly, Cloud Village would not only lose a Raikage, but also two Tailed Beasts.

As for whether the Raikage worried that Konoha would wipe them out now...

He was somewhat worried, but the Fourth Raikage believed that was unlikely.

After losing the Raikage and two Tailed Beasts, Cloud Village would certainly be badly weakened, but its foundations would remain intact. At worst, it could close itself off like Rain Village or lower its head like Sand Village.

Meanwhile, Konoha, which seemed poised to benefit from this, would become a target for all and would inevitably be targeted by the other ninja villages.

Maintaining balance among the Five Great Ninja Villages was the consensus of every ninja village now. Otherwise, why had Stone Village fought Cloud Village during the Third Shinobi World War?

After shooting Nara Shikaku an annoyed glare, lightning chakra surged over the Fourth Raikage's body once more. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Yugito Nii.

Hoisting the unconscious Yugito Nii onto his shoulder, the Fourth Raikage said, "B, cancel your Tailed Beast Transformation. We've lost this war..."

Killer B's somewhat frantic voice came from within the Eight-Tails' body...

"Big bro, get out of here! I can't hold it back much longer..."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage did not hesitate in the slightest. He transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished.

At that moment, Killer B unhesitatingly fired the Tailed Beast Bomb from the Eight-Tails' mouth at Uchiha Yansheng.

Uchiha Yansheng hurriedly controlled Susanoo's wings to fold together behind it, preparing to withstand the attack with the Perfect Susanoo.

As for himself, he directly abandoned that Perfect Susanoo and vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already standing on the Eight-Tails' shoulder.

As the gigantic Tailed Beast Bomb collided with Susanoo, an enormous mushroom cloud rose from the battlefield. Violent winds mixed with dirt swept out, burying everything around them.

When the smoke and dust gradually cleared, all that remained was an enormous crater that had swallowed everything, along with more than half of the Perfect Susanoo's body.

The good news was that the Tailed Beast Bomb had indeed broken through Susanoo's defenses.

The bad news was that the person using Susanoo had not been inside.

"Sorry, I really couldn't control it."

The Eight-Tails' voice slowly rang out, seemingly carrying a trace of guilt.

It seemed that when he saw Uchiha Yansheng was no longer in Susanoo's head, he had assumed Uchiha Yansheng had been killed.

"If you really couldn't control it, why didn't you fire it into the sky?"

Uchiha Yansheng's calm voice rang out from the Eight-Tails' shoulder, startling him.

Tilting his head to glance at Uchiha Yansheng on his shoulder, then at the damaged upper half of Susanoo in the distance, the Eight-Tails spoke in a daze.

"Y-you're okay..."

From that tone, it was impossible to tell whether he was disappointed or feeling something else.

"Of course. If you could kill me that easily, would I have dared to come out?"

Hearing Uchiha Yansheng's words, the Eight-Tails was left speechless.

That attack just now could have killed even him. By Uchiha Yansheng's logic, no one in the entire Ninja World besides the Sage of Six Paths would be qualified to walk around outside.

"Alright, enough nonsense."

"Give me one of your tails willingly. Leave yourself some more chakra, or I'll have to drag you out and do this all over again."

"Think it over. Your tail can grow back, but the horns on your head can't."

Uchiha Yansheng had no time to chat with the Eight-Tails. The sealing scroll could not last much longer, and he had to hurry and transfer the Two-Tails' chakra into another container.

Hearing Uchiha Yansheng's words, the Eight-Tails was once again rendered speechless.

But because of the earlier incident with the gigantic Tailed Beast Bomb, he did not dare negotiate terms with Uchiha Yansheng again. When he spotted the Fourth Raikage returning, he immediately discarded one of his tails along with nearly all the chakra he had left.

Fun fact: although Tailed Beasts were chakra lifeforms, the chakra they could use was still limited. Once it ran out, they needed to replenish it just like anyone else.

It was simply that under normal circumstances, no one could force a Tailed Beast to exhaust all its chakra.

After finishing all this, the Eight-Tails returned to Killer B's body. At the same time, the Fourth Raikage in the distance returned to Killer B's side.

Uchiha Yansheng directly ignored the Fourth Raikage beside him. He took out a specially made sealing scroll and sealed away the tail the Eight-Tails had shed.

Naturally, before sealing it, Uchiha Yansheng checked the amount of chakra inside. As expected, there was quite a lot—slightly more than the Nine-Tails chakra currently sealed within Zero-Two.

"Not bad. Konoha will send someone to discuss the later war reparations with you..."

Before Uchiha Yansheng could finish speaking, Zero-Two, which had been standing by in the distance, suddenly let out a piercing alarm.

Uchiha Yansheng froze at the sound, then quickly prepared to use Flying Raijin to escape at any moment.

Very soon... a hand abruptly appeared in midair and grabbed his shoulder.

"Obito Uchiha?"
