Four-Tailed Tsunade crashed through a large section of trees before finally stopping, her human form completely gone.
The deep red Tailed Beast coat on her body was damaged but rapidly regenerating. It was unclear what kind of injuries Tsunade sustained beneath it.
Even if severe, her body would recover under the stimulation of Chakra, and even if her consciousness was blurred, the Strength of a Hundred Seal would continue to function with the support of the sealing technique.
To forcibly stop her, there would need to be a lack of continuous Chakra supply.
Therefore, she felt no pain or discomfort.
Four-Tailed Tsunade was on all fours, her entire being transformed into a beast. Her crimson Chakra was almost black, surging dangerously and terrifyingly like a layer of muscle.
Under such high-density Chakra encapsulation, movement would normally become difficult.
This was indeed the case.
Four-Tailed Tsunade merely lay on the spot without other movements. Her beast face, which had been demonized into the Nine-Tailed's pitch black, slowly turned, observing her surroundings.
At this moment, groups of Kunai shot straight from the forest.
This level of Kunai could not break through the defense on Four-Tailed Tsunade's body surface.
But Naori's plan was not to break through the defense, but rather…
The next moment, as the Kunai group flew above Four-Tailed Tsunade's head, Naori, who was speeding through the forest, pulled a steel wire.
Immediately following, the Kunai scattered like falling flowers, and the steel wires attached to their ends landed on Four-Tailed Tsunade's body.
Naori's intention was to activate a seal. After rapidly forming hand seals with her right hand, the incantations quickly spread along the steel wires.
This was a seal designed to stop Chakra activity.
But Naori immediately interrupted the seal and, at the same time, cut the steel wires with her left hand.
"How terrifying…"
Naori murmured, rushing out of the forest and kneeling on one knee in front of Four-Tailed Tsunade.
Before her, the biological steel wires had only touched the Chakra on Four-Tailed Tsunade's body surface, yet they had already burned to ashes without a flame.
This was truly a headache-inducing problem.
Didn't this mean that close-quarters combat was completely impossible?
And Ninjutsu had little effect on Four-Tailed Tsunade's thick armor.
So, Mito's Adamantine Sealing Chains were truly super powerful.
The steel wire slipped from Naori's left hand.
Now, only the Thread Manipulation Sword Technique was usable.
A large amount of silk threads emerged, then twisted into a single strand, with the end held in her palm.
The Thread Manipulation Sword Technique was not a technique used by physical strength, but rather driven by precise Chakra manipulation, mimicking some principles of Super Strength.
However, facing a monster like Tsunade, whipping her was like not whipping her at all, just a waste of Chakra.
Naori weighed whether to use it.
At this moment, Kiba rushed out of the forest and landed beside Naori.
"Kiba-senpai, don't be impulsive," Naori said softly.
Kiba looked at Naori in confusion.
"We can't do anything to Tsunade. We'll attract her attention and buy time," Naori said.
"Be careful."
The subtext was, do not get close.
Kiba turned to look at Four-Tailed Tsunade, nodding gravely.
At this point, Four-Tailed Tsunade roared like a beast and launched her attack.
She raised her two massive crimson beast claws made of Chakra, clasped her fists, and slammed them heavily onto the ground.
The Three Tomoe spun in her eyes, and Naori did not miss a single detail.
This was not the exertion method of Super Strength; it was purely brute force, without any technique.
When it struck down, its power was not much weaker than Super Strength.
In an instant, the ground cracked, and the beast claws sank into the earth.
"Here it comes!"
Amidst the incoming dust storm, Naori gave a short warning.
The next second, two crimson beast claws burst out from beneath their feet, tearing open the ground as they lunged at Naori and Kiba.
The signs before the attack were too obvious. As a battle-hardened Shinobi, Kiba quickly dodged.
Glancing over, Naori had already evaded the attack.
But Four-Tailed Tsunade's offensive did not stop. The incredibly fast beast claws shot into the sky, then immediately bent, pursuing Kiba and Naori respectively, smashing down violently.
Huh, she missed.
With the same subtle electric sparks flickering on their bodies, Naori and Kiba exchanged glances.
Kiba even had time to scratch his head, looking at Naori in confusion.
This Ninjutsu seemed a bit familiar.
Lightning Release stimulated cell activation.
Naori turned her head away, saying nothing.
Seeing that her attacks were not landing, Four-Tailed Tsunade became extremely angry and frustrated.
She continuously roared with her head tilted back, and her offensive stopped.
Black-red and blue high-density Chakra spheres appeared like bubbles, floating around, then slowly converging towards the center.
They gradually formed a super high-density Chakra sphere.
This was a Chakra sphere of Yin and Yang.
Although it was the Yang Nine-Tailed, Yin and Yang could not be completely separated. Yin Release Chakra still existed within her body.
Naori and Kiba stopped and looked at the super high-density Chakra sphere with grave expressions.
"Kiba-senpai, it's a Tailed Beast Ball." As she spoke, Naori widened the distance between herself and Kiba.
There was only one Tailed Beast Ball but two people, so the probability of it striking either of them was fifty-fifty.
Therefore, anyone could be directly hit by the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Be careful. This attack is enough to blow the entire Village sky-high. Don't do anything stupid like trying to swat a Tailed Beast Ball, senpai."
So, could they only dodge?
Kiba felt powerless for the first time.
At this moment, Miki slowly walked out of the forest. As she passed Kiba and Naori, she said softly, "Stay away."
Kiba couldn't help but watch Miki's figure as she walked towards Four-Tailed Tsunade.
Had she already become a monster to this extent?
Come to think of it, he had never seen Miki fight at full power.
He felt a bit unwilling.
Had he not played any role at all?
But there was nothing he could do even if he was unwilling.
In a battle of this caliber, the weak were best advised to retreat.
As he turned to leave, Kiba found that Naori had already run far away.
So, this was your plan, Mushi-Hime?
Looking back at Miki, Kiba retreated.
He had recognized his own weakness.
But weakness was only temporary.
Kiba tightened his grip on Kiba.
