The vast forest suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on Bai Yu, filled with a strange sense of urgency.

They were eager to know if what Utatane Koharu said was true.

Feeling the gazes from all around, Bai Yu raised his hand, took a swig of wine, and turned to look behind him.

With that one glance, every nerve in Nine-Tails' body tensed to its limit.

Nine-Tails) already felt a sense of dread towards Madara Uchiha, who could easily control the Tailed Beast.

However, Madara Uchiha feared so much, was cleaved in two by Bai Yu's single strike, along with his Tailed Beast.

If it weren't for experiencing it firsthand, Nine-Tails would never have believed that such a thing existed in this world.

" Little Nine, come here and let me take a look."

Bai Yu spoke with a faint smile.

Little Nine?

Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox was completely bewildered. Feeling Bai Yu's gaze, it really wanted to point at itself and ask Bai Yu if he was asking it a question.

It is, after all, the strongest of the Nine Tailed Beasts.

If this name truly comes true...

Doesn't that lower its ranking?

However, when Kurama thought of that slash two years ago, Nine-Tails expression still turned somewhat ashen.

"What's wrong? Still planning to fight me?"

Bai Yu smiled and took a swig of his drink.

"If you still have complaints about the battle two years ago, then bring it on, I'll take it."

"If you're not going to fight anymore, come over and let me touch you. After all, we became friends through a fight, so we're practically acquaintances now."

After saying this, Bai Yu stood there drinking.

The feeling was like standing here, pointing at your outstretched neck, and telling someone to chop it off.

Isn't that just courting death?

However, the thought had barely crossed their minds when...

The Nine-Tails, which had been lurking in the forest, changed its expression several times before placing its head next to Bai Yu in full view of everyone.

Its massive body was bent over like a mountain, lying on the ground like a large cat.

If it weren't for the Chakra emanating from his entire body...

They genuinely doubted whether the fox before them was a fake Tailed Beast.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Yu even reached out and rubbed the Nine-Tails's head.

This scene caused everyone's pupils to shrink to their limit, and they even felt as if they were staring in disbelief.

However, they remained on edge from beginning to end.

I'm eager to know if Nine-Tails is just deliberately putting on a humble front before slapping me.

However, this thought did not appear even after Bai Yu withdrew his hand and the Nine-Tails slowly regained its footing.

Moreover, those golden vertical pupils immediately fell upon Toroi and the other Anbu Ninja.

In its eyes, if it weren't for this hateful person who freed it from Mito Uzumaki's body, it probably wouldn't have had to suffer such humiliation.

That one glance sent chills down Toroi's spine and made the hairs on his body stand on end.

At that moment, Toroi instantly understood what it felt like when the Nine-Tails Fox's fur stood on end.

However, an even more absurd thought flashed through Toroi's mind.

It could make even a mighty Nine-Tails bristle.

What level of strength is required to accomplish that?

I'm afraid even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was hailed as the God of the Shinobi World, couldn't have done it.

"Run quickly! Whoever escapes must tell Lord Raikage what happened here, tell Lord Raikage that a person has appeared in the Shinobi World who strikes fear into the hearts of the Tailed Beast!"

Toroi suddenly snapped out of his daze and the Roar urgently.

Her face, which had appeared slightly pale after using the forbidden technique, flushed bright red once again.

With a sudden clasp of his hands, the weapons scattered around him, drawn by the Magnet Release, shot towards the Nine-Tails like Bai Yu.

Seeing Toroi strike and immediately target the Nine-Tails, the remaining Anbu Ninja turned pale.

They knew perfectly well that by doing this, Toroi had abandoned Bai Yu and instead set its sights on the Nine-Tails.

It's a complete case of giving up entirely.

This means that the outcome of the battle is now completely decided.

The group of Anbu didn't have time to think. Seeing that Toroi was willing to cover their retreat, they all increased their speed to the maximum and quickly scattered to escape.

roar!

The Nine-Tails let out a the Roar, as loud as a thunderclap.

Its massive body, tens of meters long, suddenly surged forward.

Faced with the oncoming attack controlled by Magnet Release, it was forcefully dispersed.

Nine enormous tails, resembling tentacles, swept towards Toroi with immense force.

" Magnetic Shield!"

Toroi's face turned pale, and he shouted urgently.

Unfortunately, the Magnetic Shield that had just been formed in front of them collapsed like paper when the tail swept across like an iron whip.

The scarlet tail, with its remaining force, struck Toroi squarely in the chest.

Bang!

Toroi was sent flying backward.

The Nine-Tails, accompanied by a gust of wind, swiftly gave chase.

Along the way, trees, rocks, and mountains were all trampled and crushed.

As the Nine-Tails Fox leaped and landed, a scream rang out from the arena.

Even so, it still made Utatane Koharu and Mito Uzumaki's palms sweat.

They were all too familiar with the ferocity of the Nine Tailed Beasts.

Compared to Bai Yu, who was engrossed in drinking.

They were more worried that the Nine-Tails might suddenly slap them across the face.

However, as the rumbling of the earth faded into the distance, the Nine-Tails watched its figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Mito Uzumaki tensed up instantly, clenching her fists inwardly, her face showing a mixture of apprehension and hesitation.

" Lady Mito, has Nine-Tails run away?" Utatane Koharu couldn't help but ask.

As Jinchūriki, he possesses one of the most fatal weaknesses.

Once the Tailed Beast break free of their seals, there is only one possible fate for their Jinchūriki.

They're definitely going to die!

With the Nine-Tails forcibly released by Toroi, Mito Uzumaki is already quite injured.

If the Nine-Tails still manages to escape.

Then, Mito Uzumaki's body would be like a dilapidated house, and the Chakra within her body would flow away uncontrollably.

As time goes by, death will become the inevitable outcome.

However, the moment that thought crossed their minds, the words that fell beside them made them freeze in place.

Don't worry, it will be back soon.

roar!

A roar echoed through the sky.

Its massive, crimson body, as large as a small mountain, leaped back into the distance with a chilling whooshing sound.

A massive earthquake shook the earth, and sandstorms swept across the sky.

The mighty Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox landed in the arena, carrying a blood-soaked figure in its mouth.

Seeing the Nine-Tails truly return.

Just like a house cat, it carried its prey back home.

Such a respectful scene really made Mito Uzumaki wonder who the real Jinchūriki was!
