An explosive boom instantly jolted Kakuzu awake. He put away the scroll, stood up, and looked over.
A beast resembling an enormous turtle floated on the lake, with a hundred-meter-long wood dragon coiled around his massive body!
"So this is the Three-Tails?!"
Kakuzu did not need to think to know that the wood dragon was wood release ninjutsu cast by Akame.
"Looks like the fight is almost over!"
Waves surged across the lake, spray flying everywhere as endless rings of water rolled outward in all directions.
Amid successive booms, waves dozens of meters high erupted one after another!
Isobu struggled constantly, trying to break free of the wood dragon's restraints, but no matter how much strength he unleashed, he could do nothing about the wood dragon wrapped around him.
Never mind breaking free-even the force of Isobu's struggles rapidly weakened as time passed.
Naturally, this was because the wood dragon kept devouring the Three-Tails' chakra, leaving him weaker and weaker, with no strength left to struggle.
Actually, if the Three-Tails had unleashed all his strength and struggled desperately before the wood dragon fully restrained him, he would still have had a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, wild tailed beasts basically fought on instinct. By the time he noticed something was wrong, it was already too late.
Bang, bang, bang...
Explosive cracks rang through the air!
The Three-Tails suddenly swung his long tails down hard on the wood dragon. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the dragon's body was damaged in several places!
But the long tails struck not only the flying wood chips, but also the Three-Tails' own body.
Fighting for his life, the Three-Tails unleashed boundless strength, and much of the shell covering his body showed signs of damage.
"Impressive. You really can't underestimate a tailed beast fighting for its life!"
