The Three-Tails turned its massive head and stared at Mei Terumi.
The next moment, it spread its limbs and charged towards Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi retreated while leading the Three-Tails away from Kirigakure.
From a high tree in the distance, Zhang Yu watched Mei Terumi was chased all over the valley by the Three-Tails and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"This is so embarrassing."
Kurama rested on his shoulder, his gaze fixed on the lakeside.
"That woman can't hold on much longer."
"I can tell."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and patted Kurama on the head.
"Go ahead and give the Three-Tails a good beating."
Kurama's eyes immediately lit up.
"I've been waiting for you to say that."
It leaped off Zhang Yu's shoulder.
Crimson Chakra erupted instantly.
The little fox, which originally weighed only a few pounds, expanded wildly in mid-air.
Ten meters.
100 meters.
Hundreds of meters.
In just a few breaths, Kurama transformed from a small fox into a gigantic Nine-Tails Demon Fox weighing over a hundred tons.
Nine tails spread out behind it, obscuring half the sky.
The entire valley trembled the moment it landed.
boom!
Kurama raised his head and let out a roar.
The roar echoed back and forth in the valley.
The rampaging Three-Tails suddenly stopped.
The lake water was still churning.
But the Three-Tails ' body remained frozen in place, its three eyes fixed on the Nine-Tails on the hillside.
Mei Terumi also stopped.
She glanced back, her expression turning even more unpleasant.
What's going on here?
Those sealed ninjas could barely stand.
Some people fell directly onto the slippery mud.
" Nine-Tails!"
"It really is Nine-Tails!"
How did it end up here?
Kurama strode towards the lake.
With each step, the ground thudded.
As Kurama drew ever closer, the Three-Tails ' initial rage was gradually replaced by wariness.
Kurama walked to the lakeside and looked down at the Three-Tails fox.
" Isobu, why have you suddenly gone mad?"
The Three-Tails stared at it and let out a low growl.
Kurama frowned.
Are you talking back to me?
The Three-Tails creature raised its enormous head, its three tails swaying in the lake water.
Although it recognized the Kurama, it showed no sign of being convinced.
Kurama sneered.
Looks like you haven't had enough of a beating yet.
The Three-Tails roared, its massive body bursting out of the lake, and it opened its mouth to bite Kurama.
Kurama raised its claw and slapped it directly onto the face of the Three-Tails.
Bang!
The Three-Tails ' head snapped to one side, and its massive body flew sideways, crashing heavily into the lake.
The waves surged tens of meters high.
Mei Terumi and the sealing ninja were all stunned.
One claw.
The Three-Tails was swatted away.
Kurama shook its paws.
"You still dare to disagree?"
The Three-Tails crawled out of the lake and roared as it charged at Kurama once more.
Kurama raised its front paw and pressed down on its head.
The Three-Tails struggled frantically, lashing out at each other with their three tails.
Cracks were carved into the lake shore.
Kurama remained completely still.
"Is that all the strength you have?"
It lowered its head.
Have you forgotten that I'm your older brother?
The Three-Tails creature bit Kurama's claw.
Kurama Fox glanced down, then slapped the Three-Tails turtle's shell with his backhand.
boom!
The Three-Tails slid across the lake, its entire body skimming the surface, crashing into and breaking several large trees.
Kurama stepped forward, raised its claws, and slapped the Three-Tails turtle's shell repeatedly.
one time.
Two times.
Three times.
With each claw strike, the ground trembles.
The Three-Tails were slapped so hard they landed upside down, their three tails drooping limply on the ground.
Just as it tried to turn over, Kurama pressed it back down with a paw.
"Are you convinced?"
The Three-Tails let out a deep roar.
"You disagree?"
Kurama Raises its Claw.
"Then I'll continue to mess with you."
It slapped down again.
The Three-Tails ' head slammed heavily into the mud.
The Kirigakure Ninja by the lake all shrank their necks, and no one dared to utter a sound.
Mei Terumi also stopped Hand Seals.
She looked at the Three-Tails being brutally beaten by the Nine-Tails in the distance, completely unable to comprehend the situation before her.
Wasn't the Nine-Tails sealed inside Jinchūriki Konoha?
Why would it appear in the Kirigakure?
And they're even beating up the Three-Tails?
"What exactly is going on?"
Kurama is still fighting.
Zhang Yu sat on the tree trunk, arms crossed, occasionally calling out a greeting.
" Kurama, hit its belly!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Don't stop, keep going!"
Kurama became even more excited upon hearing this.
It grabbed the Three-Tails creature by the Three-Tails and dragged it directly from the lakeside to the other side of the valley.
The Three-Tails turtle shell carved a deep trench in the ground.
Mei Terumi quickly ran towards the big tree where Zhang Yu was.
She has been reinforcing the seal for two consecutive days, and her Chakra is running low.
Having just led the rampaging Three-Tails away from Kirigakure, his body was already at its limit.
Rain was falling on her, her clothes clung to her body, and mud and water dripped from her hair and the hem of her clothes.
She ran to the big tree, squatted down on the wet grass, and gasped for breath.
Zhang Yu jumped down from the tree trunk.
Can it hold on?
Mei Terumi looked up at him warily.
"Who are you?"
"Yu."
What is your relationship with that Nine-Tails?
"I'm its boss."
Mei Terumi glanced at the Nine-Tails in the distance, then at Zhang Yu in front of her, clearly not understanding.
Zhang Yu squatted down.
I asked you if you could hold on.
Mei Terumi suppressed her heavy breathing.
"Everything's fine for now."
"You've reinforced the seal for two consecutive days, Chakra is almost depleted."
How did you know?
"I can tell."
Zhang Yu gestured with his chin towards the distance.
"Leave the rest to me, just relax and get some rest."
Mei Terumi frowned.
"Can you handle the Three-Tails?"
"Certainly."
"Who are you?"
" Hokage."
Mei Terumi was stunned.
" Hokage?"
" Acting Hokage."
When did Konoha change its Hokage?
"Some time ago."
"And where's your Hokage cloak?"
Zhang Yu looked down at his black clothes.
"I haven't had time to order it yet."
Mei Terumi stared at him for a few seconds, still finding the whole thing utterly absurd.
But in the distance, the Nine-Tails was brutally beating up the Three-Tails.
This left her speechless.
Before long, the commotion in the valley finally subsided.
Three-Tails lay beside a pile of rubble, their three tails drooping limply.
Kurama stood on its shell, looking down at it.
"Are you convinced?"
The Three-Tails was panting heavily.
I'm impressed.
"Call me 'Big Brother'."
"Big brother."
"The sound is too soft."
Three-Tails quickly raised his voice.
"Big brother!"
Kurama nodded in satisfaction.
That's more like it.
Three-Tails beast, be careful not to raise your head.
"May I leave now?"
Who let you leave?
The Three-Tails' body stiffened.
Kurama raised its paw and patted its shell.
"Go lie down in the valley next door."
"Wait for my older brother to give me a lecture."
"Yes, brother."
The Three-Tails immediately got up, obediently moved to the nearby valley, and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
It even softened its breathing.
Kurama then turned around and walked towards Zhang Yu.
