The Captive Two-Tails
Since Naruto and his friends, along with Sasuke, were all training near the God Tree, the two soon met again.
As expected, the two started fighting.
Despite Naruto's significant increase in strength after mastering Chakra, he still lost again when facing Sasuke, who had awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Naruto, who knew nothing of defeat, went to challenge them again the next day, only to suffer another crushing defeat.
Day 3: Loss!
Day 4: Loss!
A month later, Naruto faced Sasuke, with a score of 0 to 30.
Towards the end, every time Sasuke saw Naruto's spirited appearance from afar, he would subconsciously want to go around him.
But Naruto was like a leech, always able to find Sasuke no matter where he Sasuke.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned village near Spirit City.
This is a secret research base of the Spirit Hall, specifically used for analyzing Chakra and Tailed Beast power.
Bibi Dong slowly stepped into the village. The members of the Spirit Hall on duty immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Your Pope Lord."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her expression indifferent, and without saying a word, followed the man straight into the house in the very center of the village.
The house has a hollow interior with a deep underground passage.
After walking down the dark stairs for a few minutes, the view suddenly opened up, revealing an underground cavern transformed from a huge natural karst cave.
The entire cave is spacious and expansive, with glowing stones embedded all around, illuminating the underground space.
In the very center, a massive blue figure was bound by numerous chains.
It was none other than Matatabi, the Two-Tails Matatabi, one of the Nine Tailed Beasts.
However, the current Two-Tails is far smaller than the Two-Tails in the Sky Curtain.
Suddenly, the Two-Tails creature opened its eyes, its massive body began to writhe, the chains rattled as they were pulled, and a piercing roar echoed throughout the cavern, "You lowly human! Release me immediately!"
Several Soul Master waiting nearby simultaneously activated their Soul Skill, unleashing several poison-based attacks that pierced into the Two-Tails -Two-Tails's body, injecting toxins into it.
Gradually, the Two-Tails beast's restless movements slowly ceased, its eyes closed, and it fell silent.
Bibi Dong turned to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside her. "How is it? After so much research, have you figured out a way to seal the Tailed Beast into the human body and create Jinchūriki?"
Yue Guan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed, replying, "Your Pope Lord, the complete method for sealing Jinchūriki has not yet been successfully deduced."
"No?" Bibi Dong's brows furrowed suddenly, and her tone turned noticeably colder. "I've expended countless manpower, resources, and funds, pouring all the resources of the Spirit Hall into paving the way for you, and after all this time, all you give me is a 'no'?"
Yue Guan quickly bowed and explained, "Although we haven't reached a final result, we've made some preliminary progress. The main problem is that the cultivation levels of those who currently possess Chakra are too low to complete the kind of seal within the Sky Curtain. Give me a few more months, and I'm sure I can succeed in the research."
At that moment, the Gui Mei spoke up, bowing and suggesting, "Your Pope Lord, why don't we let Sasuke give it a try? I've heard that his Chakra training has been going very well lately, and he also has the Sharingan; perhaps he can succeed."
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment's thought, she nodded slightly. "That's feasible. Gui Mei, you personally go and bring him here."
"Yes!" Gui Mei bowed and accepted the order, then immediately turned and left.
Bibi Dong looked at Yue Guan.
"Yue Guan, I'll give you three more months. I need Chen Guo!"
"Yes!"
Bibi Dong took a deep look at the silent and motionless Two-Tails, then turned and left the underground cavern, returning to the Pope Palace in Spirit City.
I had just sat down, picked up my tea but hadn't even taken a sip yet...
Boom--!!!
A terrifying, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from the west side of Spirit City, causing the entire Pope Palace to tremble slightly and the window frames to rattle.
Bibi Dong stood up instantly. "What happened?"
The guard on duty dared not delay and immediately rushed out to investigate. He returned in an instant, bowing and urgently reporting, "Your Pope Lord! A violent explosion has occurred to the west of Spirit City!"
"West?"
Bibi Dong's heart sank, and she instantly thought of the Tailed Beast research base. Without saying a word, she flashed and rushed straight to the top of the Pope Palace, looking up at the western horizon.
The next second, her pupils suddenly contracted.
In the distance, a huge, pitch-black sphere is flying toward Spirit City at an extremely fast speed!
"Damn it! It's Tailed Beast Ball!"
Bibi Dong shouted sharply, trying to intercept, but her Soul Skill failed to do so.
Or rather, the range of her Soul Skill is quite small.
Going to intercept them would put you in danger.
"Seventh Soul Skill! Golden Crocodile Avatar!"
Suddenly, accompanied by a loud shout, a Golden Crocodile more than ten meters long appeared in the main hall of the Worship Hall.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Ultimate Explosive Kill!"
A red Soul Ring shone on the Golden Crocodile's body, its scales gleamed with a flowing luster, and its Soul Power power surged instantly. Then, a dazzling golden ball of light condensed in its mouth, compressed and spun, and shot out as a golden beam of light, directly facing the oncoming Tailed Beast Ball!
BOOM--!!!
The golden beam of light and the jet-black Tailed Beast Ball collided violently in mid-air, the two extreme destructive energies clashing instantly and detonating the Tailed Beast Ball.
The next instant, a violent shockwave swept wildly in all directions from the point of impact, with raging winds and rolling air currents.
The wooden houses in the city creaked and groaned under the strain, and countless tiles, windows, and rubble were blown away by the gale. Some old and dilapidated houses collapsed and cracked, and dust filled the sky.
Just then, several figures rushed out of the Worship Hall and headed west to provide assistance.
Azure Luan Douluo rushed to Bibi Dong's side, his face cold and filled with intense anger as he demanded, "Bibi Dong! What exactly happened! You entrusted the Two-Tails to your care, so why did it suddenly go berserk and unleash Tailed Beast Ball to bombard Spirit City?"
Bibi Dong's face was extremely gloomy.
"How should I know? I wasn't there."
"You'd better pray that this turmoil hasn't caused any major casualties, otherwise, your reign as Pope is over!"
His tone carried a blatant warning. After speaking, Azure Luan Douluo said no more, and with a flash, rushed towards the western battlefield at full speed.
Bibi Dong watched the other person's departing figure, her fists clenched tightly, a fierce aura surging in her eyes, and an eerily low aura surrounding her.
"A bunch of old fogies, relying on their age to bully me, trying to control me at every turn. One day, I'll make them pay!"
Suppressing her anger, Bibi Dong solemnly ordered, "All elders of the Elder Hall, immediately follow me to the west to suppress the Tailed Beast and quell the unrest!"
On the other side.
Two-Tails ran and cursed.
"Damn humans! Damn humans!"
"Once I've fully recovered, I'll show you what Tailed Beast disaster really is."
"I will use the Tailed Beast Ball to raze your cities to the ground, one by one."
