The fists of Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands blotted out the sky, leaving the eighteen suicide Tailed Beast Bombs hopelessly outnumbered.
But Naruto had given the Tailed Beast Bombs souls not to clash head-on, but to win through ingenuity!
The Tailed Beast Bombs tried to circle around and slip through the gaps, but the fists covered too wide an area. They could barely move!
So Naruto drove Kurama to fire Tailed Beast Bombs wildly into the sky, embedding a tomoe from Susa-no-o-no-Mikoto into each one to increase its power!

Within a few dozen seconds, over half of the eighteen suicide Tailed
