Han could not believe it either. They were all chunin, so why were the ones from their village so strong?
"Hehe... dumbfounded, aren't you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said smugly.
Seeing that nearly all his own people were dead, Han stopped holding back and went straight into Tailed Beast Transformation. A creature combining a dolphin and a horse appeared, five tails swinging behind it. Five-Tails Kokuō looked at the people before him and said, "Damn humans, I'll crush you!" Boil Release activated, sending out vast clouds of steam. "Shimura Danzō, get out of here!" Some ninja failed to dodge and were corroded by the Boil Release.
"Damn it!" Seeing more than half his own ninja dead or wounded, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "Yuying, take them away first!" "You're not getting away!" Another vast cloud of corrosive acid mist followed. This time, Orochimaru, Uchiha Hanyue, Might Duy, and the other ninja were all caught in it. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō used a combined Wind Release ninjutsu to suppress it temporarily.
Itō Yuying swiftly moved to each ninja, then took them all away with Instant Transmission. Two breaths later, Itō Yuying reappeared on the battlefield. Shimura Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kagami Uchiha were still ganging up on Five-Tails Kokuō. "What cunning humans!"
Then the Five-Tails charged madly toward the Konoha camp. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and Kagami Uchiha followed close behind Kokuō. "Damn it, we can't catch up!" They tried every move they had. Kokuō ran faster and faster, soon leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others behind. "Damn it, damn it! His target is the Konoha camp!"
Just then, Itō Yuying flew over. "Come here. I'll take you over with Instant Transmission." "All right!" the three answered in unison. Itō Yuying sensed for a moment, then vanished with a whoosh.
Kokuō charged forward with all his might, cursing as he ran. "Pah... damn humans! All of you can die!" With that, he sped up again. Just as he was getting into his stride, four figures appeared beside him. Kokuō was utterly stunned. What's going on? Has the world changed this much while I've been away? Before Kokuō could react, Kagami Uchiha activated his genjutsu. "Hiruzen, hurry and seal him!" Hiruzen Sarutobi did not hesitate, charging forward as soon as Kagami Uchiha activated his genjutsu. By the time he reached Kokuō, Hiruzen Sarutobi had finished his hand seals. Just as he was about to press his hand down, several shuriken flew past Sarutobi Hiruzen, disrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi's timing.
By then, Kokuō had regained his senses and swept Hiruzen Sarutobi away with one tail. Itō Yuying looked toward the ninja who had thrown the shuriken. They were actually those three jonin and three chunin. Itō Yuying flared his ki, flew over, and began fighting the six of them. One Dodon Ray each instantly finished off three of them. The remaining three jonin wasted no time and fled swiftly.
Watching the ninja retreat into the distance, Itō Yuying did not pursue them. He joined Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others in ganging up on the Five-Tails. "Damn it!" The Five-Tails did not linger to fight either, continuing toward the Konoha camp.
By this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and Kagami Uchiha were covered in wounds. Itō Yuying casually tossed them three bottles of Senzu Bean Soup. They caught them and drank quickly without hesitation. A few breaths later, all three had returned to their original condition. "Hehe, Yuying, you really did plan ahead." "Hehe, that's right!" Shimura Danzō agreed.
This Senzu Bean Soup was not to be underestimated. One Senzu Bean could make ten bottles of Senzu Bean Soup. Although its effects were greatly reduced, it was still a rare, miraculous substance. Whenever they were injured or exhausted, one bottle would put them right immediately.
"Yuying, take us over again." "All right." Then the three vanished from where they stood again. The instant they appeared beside the Five-Tails, several tails lashed them away, sending them flying far backward. Itō Yuying yelled in pain. After a while, Itō Yuying stood up and said, "Senior brothers, keep the Five-Tails occupied for me. I'll ambush him with a Destructo Disc." "All right!" The three charged forward and grappled with the Five-Tails. Itō Yuying raised his hand, palm up, and before long, a Destructo Disc appeared. Without hesitation, Itō Yuying hurled it at the Five-Tails.
Seeing it, the Five-Tails instantly spat out a small Tailed Beast Bomb, which collided with the Destructo Disc. The Tailed Beast Bomb was actually sliced in half. Then the two halves exploded with a roar, and the blast sent Shimura Danzō and the other two flying. The Five-Tails seized the chance to race onward. "I see it! Haha, I see the Konoha camp!" Five-Tails Kokuō stood on an earthen hill, looking at the Konoha camp not far away. He saw people running swiftly through the camp, and he also saw a giant Torifu Akimichi outside it.
Without further hesitation, the Five-Tails opened his huge mouth. Vast amounts of blue-purple chakra gathered, soon forming an enormous Tailed Beast Bomb.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were sweating with anxiety. If that hit them, not even their ashes would be left. Just then, Itō Yuying stepped forward and said, "Senior brothers, while the Five-Tails is gathering his Tailed Beast Bomb and can't move easily, I'll take him away with Instant Transmission."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to stop him, but Itō Yuying had already placed two fingers against his forehead. Hiruzen Sarutobi sprinted over to stop Itō Yuying, but just as his hand was about to touch him, Itō Yuying vanished. He appeared beside the Five-Tails, touching Kokuō's leg with one hand and his forehead with the other. He gave Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others a faint smile, then vanished with the Five-Tails.
"No...!" Sarutobi Hiruzen ran forward, dropped to his knees, and sobbed with his head in his hands. Shimura Danzō also turned his head aside and wiped away his tears. Kagami did the same.
The people in the Konoha camp were bewildered to see the Five-Tails suddenly disappear. Was this a vanishing tailed beast act? Torifu Akimichi seemed to realize something. Yuying! You have to be all right! Otherwise, Teacher will go mad.
As for Itō Yuying, he really was rotten to the core. With a single Instant Transmission, he took the Five-Tails straight beside the building in Iwagakure. The Second Tsuchikage was startled to see Kokuō's enormous body. Didn't he go to the border to cause trouble for Konoha? Why is he here? Then he saw the enormous Tailed Beast Bomb in front of Kokuō, and the Second Tsuchikage instantly wet himself.
"My Iwagakure!"
Then he swiftly flew into the sky.
Roshi's Tailed Beast Bomb was ready at any moment. Ōnoki flew over shakily. The two exchanged a glance and activated Dust Release together, colliding with the Tailed Beast Bomb that had been spat out. They disintegrated more than half of it, but it still exploded. Centered on the Tsuchikage Building, the blast destroyed over a hundred houses and caused countless casualties. Then the Five-Tails began wreaking havoc again. Itō Yuying did not know how they finally dealt with the Five-Tails.
When Itō Yuying stood before Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing, Hiruzen kept crying things like, "Yuying, don't go." Itō Yuying was truly moved. He crouched down and helped Hiruzen Sarutobi up. With snot, tears, and mud all mixed together, Hiruzen looked like a mud-covered monkey. "Senior brother, I'm fine. I'm back." Hiruzen Sarutobi froze for a moment, then said, "As long as you're all right. As long as you're all right." Then he ran off. Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi run into the distance, Itō Yuying felt very warm inside.
He looked toward Shimura Danzō, who had his head turned aside, his shoulders still trembling occasionally. So Shimura Danzō is a pretty good person too, Itō Yuying thought. "Senior brother Danzō, why are you crying?" Shimura Danzō had actually spotted Itō Yuying long ago, but his tears kept flowing, so he could only turn his head aside and pretend he had not seen him. "You're back. Mm-hmm, you did well. I got dirt in my eyes just now. Damn it, the Land of Earth really has too much dirt. Honestly, I'm going to wash up. Remember to head back soon!" With that, he ran off too.
His eyes red, Kagami Uchiha said, "This is the first time I've seen those two cry." Itō Yuying looked at the two men running into the distance and nodded.
Then he headed toward the Konoha camp!!!
