The Attack, Part Three

Uzumaki Hane swiftly through the forest, and soon, a thick fog blocked its path.

Roars echoed continuously from within the thick fog, clearly indicating that the Three-Tails was located within it.

Without a word, Uzumaki Hane plunged into the thick fog without stopping, and following the roar, quickly arrived at the seaside.

Three-Tails was seen on the sea surface, being beaten and roaring angrily by a person wearing a black trench coat, clearly at a disadvantage.

Upon seeing the spiral mask on the man in black, Uzumaki Hane immediately recognized him as Tobi. She hadn't expected him to come here and find the Three-Tails. Judging from this, the Three-Tails would probably be captured by him soon.

Uzumaki Hane naturally wouldn't let Tobi successfully capture the Three-Tails. His right hand quickly turned into lava and slammed towards Tobi's back. A Rock Fist shot out rapidly and hit Tobi in the blink of an eye. Tobi seemed not to notice and was directly blasted into the water.

Uzumaki Hane treads on the water's surface, quickly approaching the Three-Tails. The Three-Tails' eyes darted around, recognizing the human who had once injured it. Its eyes flashed with even more ferocity as it roared at Uzumaki Hane, unleashing the savage aura of Tailed Beast that swept towards him.

Immediately afterwards, the Three-Tails creature charged forward, creating countless waves, and rushed towards Uzumaki Hane.

Boom! The Three-Tails' massive body crashed down, creating a colossal wave. In the instant before, Uzumaki Hane had already leaped up and landed on the Three-Tails' back.

Upon noticing Uzumaki Hane appear on its back, the Three-Tails let out a tremendous roar, its entire body shaking as it tried to shake Uzumaki Hane off. Its massive body stirred up countless giant waves, and for a moment, the entire sea seemed to be engulfed in a raging storm, but Uzumaki Hane remained firmly on the Three-Tails' back.

The Three-Tails clearly realized that it couldn't shake off Uzumaki Hane at all, and stopped. At this moment, Uzumaki Hane's lips curled up, and he leaped off its back, landing on the Three-Tails' tail. His hands quickly turned into lava and expanded to ten times their original size. He grabbed one of the Three-Tails' tails, shouted loudly, and yanked the Three-Tails up, throwing it far away.

With a deafening crash, the Three-Tails slammed heavily into the sea, instantly creating a towering wave. Uzumaki Hane, eyeing the Three-Tails' location, was about to press his advantage.

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently behind Uzumaki Hane. Wearing a spiral mask and a black trench coat, it was none other than Afei, whom Uzumaki Hane Tobi had just thrown into the sea.

Tobi struck Uzumaki Hane hard in the back. Bang! Uzumaki Hane was sent flying like a rag doll. He crashed into the water ten meters away, splashing countless droplets before sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Tobi's primary target was the Three-Tails, and fearing Three-Tails would escape, he Three-Tails towards it.

With a roar, the Three-Tails burst forth from the seabed, its massive body crashing into Tobi. But strangely, the scene that the Three-Tails Fox had imagined —Tobi coughing up blood and flying backward—did not occur. Instead, Tobi seemed to be nothing more than a phantom, passing right through it.

The Three-Tails was bewildered by the bizarre scene before it. Tobi had already appeared on its back and slammed the Three-Tails back into the sea.

Roar, roar, roar! The Three-Tails creature's enormous body crashed into the seabed.

At this moment, Uzumaki Hane burst out from the seabed and arrived in front of Tobi. His right hand quickly turned into lava and expanded to ten times its original size. With a punch, he slammed A -Tobi Fei into the sea. Bang! Tobi disappeared into the seabed.

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

Naruto and his friends were locked in a fierce battle with Guren's Jade Crystal Clone, and for a time the fight was evenly matched.

At that moment, the house behind Naruto shattered with a loud bang.

"What?!" Everyone saw that the unconscious Yukimaru was being held in Kabuto Yakushi's hand, while Sakura and Hinata were confronting him.

Naruto and the other five wanted to go to their rescue, but were held back by Guren.

"Sakura, Hinata, stop him! Don't let him take Yukimaru away!" Kakashi immediately ordered.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei," Hinata and Sakura replied simultaneously, then rushed towards Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi, holding Yukimaru in one hand and adjusting his glasses with the other, gave a fake smile as he watched Hinata and Sakura rush towards him.

"Drink..." Sakura rushed in front of Kabuto Yakushi, shouted, and slammed her fist into Kabuto Yakushi.

Seeing Sakura's punch about to hit him, the sharp wind from the punch already stinging his face, Kabuto Yakushi knew the terrifying power of Sakura's punch and naturally wouldn't take it head-on. He pushed off with his feet, and in the next instant, Kabuto Yakushi quickly retreated.

Boom! Sakura slammed her fist into the ground. Instantly, the ground shattered into pieces, kicking up a cloud of dust. Seeing that she had missed Kabuto Yakushi, Sakura stomped her right foot on the ground, causing countless cracks to appear. The enormous recoil propelled Sakura to appear in front of Kabuto Yakushi in an instant, and she threw a punch with a violent gust of wind at Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi had barely steadied himself and had no time to react when, with a giant tree behind him, he walked directly onto it, attempting to dodge Sakura's attack.

Boom! Sakura missed Kabuto Yakushi and struck the giant tree instead. Instantly, the entire tree shattered, and countless fragments flew out in all directions.

Standing on the tree trunk, Kabuto Yakushi sensed the condition of the giant tree beneath his feet, lightly touched the trunk, and leaped onto a nearby giant tree.

Seeing this, Sakura took a few steps forward and arrived at the giant tree where Kabuto Yakushi was. She clenched her fist and punched the tree trunk. Boom! The entire giant tree shattered, and countless fragments of the tree flew out in all directions.

Kabuto Yakushi leaped onto another tree and then quickly fled forward.

"Stop! Don't run!" If Kabuto Yakushi escaped, all their efforts would be wasted, so Sakura immediately gave chase.

The battle just now lasted only a moment, and before Hinata could even intervene, Kabuto Yakushi had already fled with Yukimaru. Hinata was also a little anxious and quickly chased after Sakura.

Meanwhile, Naruto and the other six were still locked in fierce combat with Guren's Jade Crystal Clone. Kakashi, while fighting Guren's clone, kept an eye on Sakura and Hinata's battle. Seeing Kabuto Yakushi escape with Yukimaru, Kakashi knew he couldn't delay any longer.

"Lightning Release: Chidori!" Kakashi's hands Hand Seals swiftly, forming hand seals. Lightning crackled on his right hand, as if a thousand birds were chirping. In the next instant, Kakashi rushed in front of the Guren clone and pierced it through. Crack, crack, crack, the Guren clone turned into red crystals, fell to the ground, and dissipated.

Having dealt with one of the Guren clones, Kakashi Hand Seals again and unleashed "Lightning Release: Chidori." Lightning crackled on his right hand, as if a thousand birds were chirping. Kakashi rushed behind the Guren clone that was fighting Naruto, and before the Guren could react, it was dispersed by Kakashi once more.
