Arrival

Uzumaki Hane and Kakashi transformed into afterimages, leaping swiftly through the forest until they reached a thick fog. By then, the enormous roar had vanished.

"Could it be that they have successfully captured the Tailed Beast?" The two didn't care about anything else and rushed into the thick fog, heading towards the place where the roar had come from.

Ahead of the two, another figure was moving rapidly through the thick fog; it was Tobi.

"I've really found it, the Three-Tails. Once I capture it, my mission will be complete." Tobi chuckled nonchalantly, sensing the Three-Tails' immense Chakra, as if the Three-Tails was already his for the taking.

"Hmm, someone's coming?" As Tobi was moving forward, he suddenly sensed two auras approaching from behind. One of them was Kakashi's aura, which he recognized most, and the other was probably Uzumaki Hane. Tobi frowned, slightly increased his speed, and headed in another direction, clearly not wanting to encounter Kakashi and Uzumaki Hane.

Thus, thanks to Tobi's deliberate avoidance, the three did not meet, and Uzumaki Hane and Kakashi successfully arrived at the beach.

"Hmm..." As soon as the two arrived at the beach, they saw the enormous body of the Three-Tails, which stirred up countless huge waves and crisscrossed the sea.

**************************************************************

Three-Tails, unexpectedly provoked by a python, roared repeatedly before biting down on the giant python and swallowing it whole. At that moment, Guren swiftly Hand Seals, unleashing "Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique." Crystallization began to form on Three-Tails' body, slowly spreading throughout its entire form until it was completely sealed by crystal.

After sealing the Three-Tails, Guren and Kabuto Yakushi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kabuto Yakushi found the original small boat, which was still floating intact on the water. Kabuto Yakushi placed the unconscious Yukimaru under the bed.

Guren also put down the Three-Tails and came to the small boat to check on Yukimaru's condition.

"Yukimaru... Yukimaru, are you alright?" Guren called out to Yukimaru anxiously. As if hearing Guren's call, Yukimaru slowly opened his eyes, saw Guren's worried face, smiled, and said, "Guren, I'm alright."

When Guren saw that Yukimaru had awakened, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, crackling sounds came from the sealed Three-Tails.

Guren was startled and quickly looked back. She saw that the crystal sealing the Three-Tails had developed many cracks, which were spreading outwards.

"What?" Guren exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the cracks that had spread all over her body.

At this moment, Guren noticed that the Three-Tails' eyes were moving and looking at her. Guren was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Crack, crack, crack, the Three-Tails inside the crystal twisted and roared. The crystal on its body shattered instantly, turning into countless crystalline particles that disappeared into the air.

The Three-Tails had been completely unsealed, and its gaze towards Guren became even more furious. It roared fiercely at Guren, and a terrifying sound wave swept towards Guren. Caught off guard, Guren was thrown out and crashed heavily into the water. Her whole body felt as if it were being torn apart, and she was unable to move for a moment, sinking into the water.

"How could I possibly die here?" Guren burst out of the water and appeared in front of the Three-Tails. Guren looked at the Three-Tails and extracted all the Chakra in her body. Guren's whole body was surrounded by crystals, which then transformed into countless crystal Shuriken, which were shot at the Three-Tails. Bang bang bang, but the Shuriken shattered directly when they collided with the Three-Tails, and could not hurt the Three-Tails in the slightest.

"Damn it, die!" Guren transformed into a giant, sharp crystal spear and charged towards the Three-Tails Fox.

As the Three-Tails watched Guren approach, it suddenly roared, the terrifying sound wave shattering the crystal spear. Guren was thrown into the air, crashing heavily into the water next to Kabuto Yakushi, creating a wave more than a meter high. Kabuto Yakushi reacted quickly, scooping up Guren and taking Yukimaru with him, and they quickly left.

The Three-Tails had already noticed Kabuto Yakushi's movements. It didn't want to let either Guren or Yukimaru go. Then, it rushed over at a speed completely inconsistent with its huge body. In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Kabuto Yakushi, stirring up a huge wave that almost drowned Kabuto Yakushi.

Seeing the Three-Tails so close at hand, Guren struggled to get off Kabuto Yakushi and roared, "You wretched turtle, don't underestimate others, die!" She barely managed to draw out her Chakra, transforming it into a huge, sharp crystal spear, and charged fiercely towards the Three-Tails.

With a roar, the Three-Tails Fox roared at Guren. Crack! The crystal spear shattered again, and Guren was thrown into the air.

"Guren..." Yukimaru shouted anxiously.

The Three-Tails lowered its head to look at Yukimaru, its eyes flashing with even more ferocity, and roared at Yukimaru. Then it directly unleashed a monstrous wave that engulfed Yukimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.

Yukimaru got separated from Kabuto Yakushi in the water and choked on several mouthfuls of water, but thankfully he quickly floated to the surface. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Three-Tails in front of him, its ferocious eyes fixed on him.

"Yukimaru..." In the distance, Guren finally managed to surface and saw Yukimaru in imminent danger in front of the Three-Tails. Guren was extremely anxious, but she was too far away to help in time. She could only do her best to swim towards Yukimaru.

The Three-Tails stared at Yukimaru, its enormous Yukimaru reaching down towards him.

Yukimaru watched silently as the claws approached, his mind filled with the image of his deceased mother. For some reason, Guren and Naruto's faces also appeared before him. "Naruto, this is my final destination."

Suddenly, a Rock Fist slammed into the Three-Tails. Caught off guard, the Three-Tails roared and staggered from the impact.

Uzumaki Hane and Kakashi walked quickly across the water towards the Three-Tails.

"Are you alright?" Uzumaki Hane Yukimaru from the water and handed him to Kakashi before looking at the Three-Tails in front of him.

The Three-Tails lowered its head, looking at the two uninvited guests before it. How dare they attack it! A fierce light flashed in the Three-Tails' eyes as it roared at Uzumaki Hane Yu. A terrifying sound wave swept towards Uzumaki Hane, and even the surface of the water began to shake wildly.

"The Three-Tails, huh? Let me see how strong you are." Uzumaki Hane smirked, then leaped up, his right hand quickly turning into lava, and unleashed a Rock Fist at the Three-Tails- Tails. At the same time, his body flashed, and he rushed towards the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails was prepared this time. The Rock Fist shattered upon impact with the Three-Tails. At that moment, Uzumaki Hane rushed in front of the Three-Tails, his right hand expanding to ten times its original size, and struck out, causing the Three-Tails to stagger.
