Red, deep red, dark red...
The raging Tailed Beast Chakra surged against the Four Violet Flames Formation Four Violet Flames Formation, and the four Konoha Jonin for maintaining it quickly turned red in the face, their Chakra depleted.
" Lord Naoki, we can't hold on much longer..."
Naoki Senju his hand, indicating that they could dispel the barrier. The four Jonin immediately collapsed to the ground in relief, looking at the terrifying dark red figure with slight fear.
This is the power of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it's on a completely different level from the One-Tail of the past!
The Four Violet Flames Formation can completely restrict the One-Tail's range of movement, yet it cannot even withstand the chakra of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's Chakra. Even though they are both Tailed Beast, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.
Immediately afterward, Killer B, who had already entered Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, experienced another surge in Chakra. The Chakra -limiting drugs were no longer effective, and the complete Eight-Tails appeared!
However, the Eight-Tails that appeared this time had nothing to do with the Jinchūriki anymore. Killer B had completely fainted due to the out-of-control Eight-Tails Chakra, and the Sealing Jutsu had also been destroyed. If it could not be resealed in time, Killer B, as the Jinchūriki, would die completely.
In other words, the Eight-Tails Gyuki has gained freedom, albeit briefly, but it is true freedom!
According to Gyuki and Killer B's original plan, after entering Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, Gyuki would take the opportunity to sever one of his tentacles, and then use that tentacle to perform Substitution Technique, thus deceiving Naoki Senju and Konoha.
There isn't much Chakra in a single tentacle, so the Substitution Technique can't be used to hide it for long. Killer B needs to rescue the Fourth Raikage during this time and then return to Kumogakure.
However, the plan encountered an unexpected problem in its very first step. Instead of breaking the seal or having Killer B Tailed Beast Transformation, Naoki Senju directly destroyed the Sealing Jutsu the Kumogakure was constantly reinforcing!
Even Jinchūriki, the Killer B, fell into a coma and was in critical condition due to the backlash of Chakra caused by the destruction of the Sealing Jutsu.
Fortunately, the Eight-Tails Gyuki was not greatly affected; in fact, due to the destruction of the Sealing Jutsu, the Eight-Tails Gyuki was in better condition than ever before!
If the initial plan is followed, the success rate can even reach over 60%!
But... why should we follow Killer B's plan?
The Eight-Tails Gyuki couldn't help but have a completely different thought arise within him, and at the same time felt ashamed of his naiveté.
What good would returning to Kumogakure do? If Killer B wasn't in mortal danger, all that awaited him was strengthening the seal and reuniting with Killer B as the Perfect Jinchuriki duo that everyone admired.
If Killer B is too severely injured to fulfill his duties as Jinchūriki, then Kumogakure will surely do what they did before: forcibly break the seal, select a suitable Jinchūriki, reseal him, and continue living that dark and hopeless life.
The new Jinchūriki might not suit his tastes as well as Killer B, and he might still become a weapon of war imprisoned in a seal, with his Chakra forcibly extracted.
Yes, neither outcome is a good ending. Humans are humans after all. They won't be at ease unless the Tailed Beast, which represent great power, are completely sealed away.
And now, freedom is within reach!
The tentacles of the Eight-Tails Gyuki lashed out wildly in all directions, forcing the Anbu Ninja, who were originally only on guard duty, to join the battle.
Fire Style: Great Flame Arrow.
" Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
" Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
Under the barrage of Ninjutsu from the Anbu Ninja, the previously stable situation instantly descended into chaos. The Eight-Tails Gyuki seized the opportunity to sever most of its tentacles, while its main body continued to shrink until, in the end, the enormous Eight-Tails became about the size of a cat.
Using the Substitution Technique alone wouldn't be enough to fool the Konoha Ninja; only by creating complete chaos could he slip away.
From this day forward, he will never need to return to the Kumogakure again, nor will he be sealed away again. From now on, the Kumogakure will no longer have the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, only the Tailed Beast Gyuki!
But remembering the unconscious Killer B, Gyuki slowed his escape slightly, then resolutely moved away from Konoha again. The Sealing Jutsu had not been completely destroyed, and with his Chakra, Killer B could at least survive.
But if they go to rescue that brute who cut off one of his horns, they might get captured by Konoha. In that case, not only would they not regain their freedom, Killer B would definitely not survive either.
The Eight-Tails Gyuki has gone on a one-way trip of escape. With its shrunken size, it has been hiding its tracks in the forest all the way. As long as it continues to advance deeper into the forest and enters the ancient, uninhabited forest, which was once Kurama's territory, it will have countless ways to hide itself!
Naoki Senju looked at the Eight-Tails, which was like a rootless duckweed. Although the Eight-Tails ' power was not diminished at all, Naoki Senju, who had sealed two Tailed Beast, knew very well that although the current Eight-Tails' Chakra was still powerful, it did not have that inexhaustible and profound feeling. This was just a substitute left behind by the Eight-Tails.
"They actually tried to escape right under my nose. Tailed Beast really aren't very smart after losing their Jinchūriki."
Naoki Senju chased straight east, leaving a group of Konoha Ninja standing there dumbfounded. Weren't they supposed to seal the Tailed Beast? Why did they just run away? What should they do?
However, the Konoha Ninja gradually noticed something strange. This Eight-Tails seemed excessively weak, completely lacking the strength it had when it first appeared, and even weaker than the One-Tail of the past!
The substitute left behind by the Eight-Tails didn't last long before it ran out of Chakra and lost its ability to resist. Looking at the tentacles scattered all over the ground, they realized that the Eight-Tails had escaped. The Konoha Ninja looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The Anbu Ninja sent someone to notify their leader to handle the situation, unaware that their leader was currently hiding in his office, looking rather smug, admiring the manuscript of the latest unreleased volume of Icha Icha Paradise, and also practicing his hand Hand Seals.
When Naoki Senju broke the Sealing Jutsu, he left a wisp of Senjutsu Chakra inside Killer B's body as a precaution against the Eight-Tails ' Substitution Jutsu.
After all, he didn't want to follow in Uchiha Sasuke Substitution Technique.
The Eight-Tails was very good at concealing its tracks when it escaped. Without the Senjutsu Chakra tracking, Naoki Senju would never have been able to find the Eight-Tails.
However, focusing on concealment inevitably meant slower speed, so Naoki Senju easily caught up with the fleeing Eight-Tails.
" Sage Art: The Gate of the Great God "
The familiar red torii gate fell from the sky. The Eight-Tails Gyuki, knew the effectiveness of this Ninjutsu against Tailed Beast and dared not take it head-on. He could only sever his tentacles again and use a substitute to take Isshiki Ninjutsu.
