Looking at the unknown Rinnegan boy in the intelligence report standing at the front, Tsunade shouted.
"I am Yuuki, here to recover the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails."
Yuuki glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, whose eyes could see through souls, directly staring at the Nine-Tails inside him.
"Uh…"
Suddenly feeling a stabbing pain inside his body, Naruto clutched his abdomen, his mind entering the seal and watching the shrinking Nine-Tails behind the chains, puzzled. "What's going on?"
"That guy's eyes… he's staring at me."
The Nine-Tails, at this moment, was like a furious fox, baring its teeth and snarling at the sky. Its tail stood straight up, instinctively wanting to unleash its Tailed Beast Ball to attack him. Its gaze… was as if that wicked Uchiha Madara was controlling it at will, treating it like a toy...
Annoyed, the Nine-Tails remembered the days of being dominated, and suddenly felt that Naruto had been pretty good to it all these years.
When facing a common enemy, that enemy's enemy is undoubtedly an ally. It spoke to Naruto: "Make sure not to be defeated by him. If necessary, I can give you all my chakra."
"…You, that guy, are actually afraid?"
Seeing the fearful expression on Kurama's face, Naruto, seeing it for the first time, smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "Don't worry. If you're separated from me, I'll die too. We are one and the same."
"..."
The Nine-Tails said nothing. Looking at Naruto's optimistic attitude, it felt like its own fear was just a joke in front of him. Its fur bristled, returning to its normal softness, and it lay back down on the ground, staring at the short Naruto and speaking: "If I lose, I won't let you go, little brat."
"I will definitely win!"
Feeling the friendship strengthening between them, Naruto smiled and exited the mental space, gazing at Yuuki not far away.
Feeling the replenished chakra within his body, he knew that the Nine-Tails was helping him. Bearing the future title of the Sixth Hokage, he would never lose!!
"How do I capture the Nine-Tails?"
Yuuki murmured softly, looking at the tall Eight-Tails. For the first time attempting to capture a Tailed Beast, he found it somewhat difficult to execute. Maybe he should activate Susanoo and cut off all eight of the Eight-Tails' tails first. Now with only five tails, it already looked quite painful.
As a crimson skeleton wrapped around his body, a brand-new Susanoo appeared before everyone's astonished eyes—different from the common half-body Susanoo, this was the complete form recorded in legends!
Sage Art: Susanoo.
The crimson giant Tengu stood tall, even taller than the Eight-Tails' Gyuki, with a sword at its waist revealing a sharp edge, exuding an indescribable aura of majesty.
Susanoo!!
The Eight-Tails' Gyuki instinctively remembered Uchiha Madara during his lifetime and shouted at Killer Bee, who was controlling his body: "Use the Tailed Beast Ball!!"
"Understood, you panicked fool."
Reacting quickly, Killer Bee opened his mouth wide, revealing Yin-Yang chakra gathering within, which suddenly grew to the size of a head, and then roared at the towering Susanoo several hundred meters away!!
"Whoosh—"
A black Tailed Beast Ball shot through the air, powerful enough to flatten mountains in a single attack.
"Hiss—"
The sound of metal scraping echoed as terrifying chakra energy overflowed. An invisible slash split the earth in two, along with the incoming Tailed Beast Ball!!
"Whoosh, boom!!"
An explosion erupted, creating two mushroom clouds several kilometers away, engulfing everything nearby. The terrifying shockwave rustled the forest and trees.
"Is this the power of the Tailed Beast?!"
Tsunade, witnessing the first sight of a Tailed Beast Ball, was shocked. Seeing the terrifying range capable of flattening an entire ninja village, she instinctively swallowed and looked more serious at the towering Susanoo.
Susanoo, which split the Tailed Beast Ball in half, was unharmed. Instead, its crimson scales looked even more terrifying now—able to easily rival a Tailed Beast, even capable of single-handedly suppressing the complete Susanoo.
Almost extinct Uchiha clan, yet there are such candidates…
His thoughts were not only surprising to the three Hokage but also to the masked man in the distance.
At this moment, in his eyes, the Rinnegan was not implanted but truly awakening step by step.
Because of Susanoo, even Nagato, who had the Rinnegan implanted by Uchiha Madara, wouldn't use Susanoo directly but relied on Six Paths power. This was solid proof.
"Madara… that guy…"
He muttered softly, but he still had a chance. As long as he could delay until Madara was too exhausted to save him himself, he would regain Madara's trust, and also gain Yuuki's trust. Then… when the right moment came, he would personally understand these two guys, removing all obstacles on his path forward.
I will never lose. Rin, I'm still waiting for me…
...
"Awesome."
Strangely, before coming to the ninja world, he had never felt so good using Susanoo. No strange cursed tools or objects binding him, no innocent people watching him, no one craving to see him.
Yuuki's lips curled into a smile. He felt strangely addicted to this feeling—above everything else. But a bit of rationality still reminded him not to get too excited; otherwise, he might turn the tide against himself.
These guys aren't easy opponents—they are among the top fighters in the ninja world. He must hold back some of his ninjutsu, at least keep one life-saving technique to intimidate them.
He glanced at the system panel that popped up:
[Task: Defeat Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Reward: 1100 points, 800 chakra permanently increased.]
[Task: Kill Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Reward: 2200 points, 1600 chakra permanently increased.]
The first encounter between the Tailed Beasts and Susanoo caused the earth to crack. From their initial clash, the outcome was clear. Yuuki had not yet fully unleashed his Susanoo, but now, under the blessing of the Sage Susanoo, he was suppressing the Eight-Tails!
"Damn, this power!!"
The Eight-Tails, suppressed in strength, just opened its mouth, preparing to self-detonate a Tailed Beast Ball at close range.
"Boom!!"
A sudden roar sounded, and the enormous Susanoo immediately retreated half a meter. Aei, who had entered the "Lightning Chakra Mode," was frantically pounding Susanoo, roaring: "You're my opponent! Uchiha brat!!"
"Such a monster, to actually use Susanoo with his body."
Even if Yuuki momentarily diverted his attention, he couldn't ignore the impending Tailed Beast Ball forming in the mouth of Gyuki. This thing was glaringly obvious even with his eyes closed…
With his hands bound, the five remaining tails of Gyuki tightly wrapped the massive Susanoo, black Tailed Beast Ball pressing directly against Susanoo's face, growing larger and larger, as if about to annihilate him.
The system panel popped up again:
[Task: Defeat the Fourth Hokage, A. Reward: 1200 points, 800 chakra permanently increased.]
[Task: Kill the Fourth Hokage, A. Reward: 2400 points, 1600 chakra permanently increased.]
...
"It's time to act."
Seeing Yuuki in danger, the masked man hurried over. Although fully aware of Susanoo's formidable defense, taking a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Ball at such close range wouldn't be pleasant. With all three paths here, losing a teammate would make this fight much harder.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu."
Tsunade, who had been watching the mysterious masked man, moved now, aiming to delay him.
"Ruin Style: Burning River Rock Technique!"
The Edo Tensei corps following the masked man, led by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Kurotsuchi, used her Ruin Style to instantly evaporate Tsunade's Water Dragon. She then moved in front of her, preventing her from getting any closer.
"Stop advancing! You fake Madara!!"
Tsunade, with a painful kick, tried to strike but passed right through the masked man, causing a deep crater to spread dozens of meters across the ground!!
"Can't deal with you now, just let them handle you, Hokage of Konoha."
The masked man didn't look back and charged directly toward Susanoo. In the next second, just as Tsunade was about to pursue, she was surrounded by the wooden clone and Haku.
"Damn it."
Tsunade really wanted to kick that fake Madara to death, but glancing at the completed Tailed Beast Ball in Gyuki's mouth, she ran toward the forest edge.
They managed to escape from Kurotsuchi's water shadow, but they weren't as strong as the Raikage. They were prepared to face the Tailed Beast Ball head-on.
"Die!!"
A 20-meter diameter, ink-black Tailed Beast Ball exploded at the center of the two, seemingly the result of Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails' fierce battle, both wounded and fighting to the death of the Third Tsuchikage, Yuuki!!!
In reality, the Raikage had already fled with a severed octopus tail of Gyuki, and the towering body of the Eight-Tails was just a clone.
Naruto Uzumaki also moved away from the explosion with the Raikage, while the masked man arrived at the moment of the Tailed Beast Ball's explosion, grabbing Yuuki with his right hand and preparing to pull him into his "Shenwei" space with his left.
He said: "Don't resist. I'll take you away."
"No need. I suddenly became curious—what would happen if I took a hit from a Tailed Beast Ball at close range?"
Looking at the white glow forming in front of him from the Tailed Beast Ball, Yuuki actively resisted the masked man's space-doujutsu.
After all, he also knew Flying Thunder God Technique, and with his own space-doujutsu, it wasn't difficult to break free from his "Shenwei" pull.
"...You lunatic."
Seeing him actively resist, the masked man helplessly chose to stand aside and watch. Anyway, the Tailed Beast Ball at this moment wouldn't hit him either, so he could see this person's true strength—or even kill him and take his eyes...
"Boom!!!!"
A dazzling white light erupted, and in an instant, a mushroom cloud with a radius of ten kilometers lit up!!
"Ah!!"
Sand and stones flew everywhere. The Hokage and Mizukage, who had not yet escaped, were immediately swept away by the wind.
When everything fell silent, Susanoo remained standing tall, but Gyuki had collapsed to the ground. Looking at the shell of the remaining Gyuki clone, Yuuki, standing at the center of Susanoo, said nothing.
"That was really powerful—almost flattened."
At the moment Susanoo was forcefully resisting the iron chain Tailed Beast Ball, it was already evident that its defenses had been shattered. You really can't just brute-force a Tailed Beast Ball; if he hadn't entered the [Realm] to avoid damage, he probably wouldn't have fared well either.
As for Susanoo, it was destroyed in the expansion—just a hundred-meter Susanoo. Re-expanding it was no difficulty.
Looking at the battered shell of the Eight-Tails in front of him, Yuuki said, "Summon the Ten-Tails' shell and stuff this thing inside to see what happens."
"…Alright."
The masked man's left eye, the Rinnegan, swept over the fallen Eight-Tails. He had just entered the alternate space connected to this creature's Rinnegan. Their eyes are the same as Space Doujutsu. Currently, trying to guard against it would only upset him or even make him wary of himself. Gaining a bit of his trust was necessary before making a move.
He voluntarily left Susanoo's interior, forming hand seals, and shouted: "Summoning Technique: Outer Path Golem!!"
"Crack—"
The ground crack, and an extremely terrifying figure appeared from beneath. Its body was made of wood, with nine eyes closed on its head, and ten pillar-like structures protruding from its back. Its hands were bound by iron chains, as if sealed. Its face was grim, and its massive body, a hundred meters long, made Susanoo look small in comparison.
