IW: Chapter 133 - Clapping his hands, anything he wants, he gets! Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!
The second orb was even larger than the first. As it followed closely from the black clouds, it instantly tensed up the crowd who had just let out a sigh of relief.
Two!?
"Hey, old man, can you still do this?"
Ai had a headache. His own techniques weren't suitable for dealing with this kind of attack.
Ōnoki's Dust Release, however, was very suitable, but that last attack seemed to have consumed a lot of Ōnoki's Chakra.
"Bombard it with Tailed Beast Balls!"
Ōnoki's face was grim as he looked at the giant lightning orb in the sky. He couldn't deal with it, but from the previous situation, Tailed Beast Balls could block a part of it.
"Quick!"
The lightning orb was falling very quickly. If they couldn't destroy it before it landed, many people here would die!
The area was so wide that it was already too late to run.
Tailed Beast Balls, like fireworks, slammed directly into the lightning orb in the sky. Even so, a portion of the Lightning Release: Lightning Fang still fell onto the battlefield, and many Ninja who couldn't dodge were directly electrocuted by it.
At the same time, the secondary explosion upon landing took out another wave.
Kurotsuchi, who was captured by Bai Ye, froze at this sight. It was her first time witnessing the horror of a battlefield, having been struggling before.
Although she had been a Ninja for some time and had completed missions, her hands were also stained with blood.
But this kind of slaughter, like a meat grinder, was her first time seeing it.
Bai Ye retreated behind, then threw Kurotsuchi to his own Ninja, reminding them: "If we're about to lose, take this woman with you. If we're about to die, just kill her directly."
Although he wouldn't fail, Bai Ye wasn't planning on returning Kurotsuchi. She was his captive, after all.
"What if we win?"
Shikaku was in a great mood. Things he hadn't dared to imagine before, he now dared to.
"If we win, just arrange for her to go to Konoha and carry night soil. Her legs are so long, it's perfect."
Are you a devil?
When Kurotsuchi heard Bai Ye wanted to kill her, she wasn't afraid. Since becoming a Ninja, she had already prepared herself for death.
But when she heard Bai Ye say he wanted her to carry night soil, she couldn't hold back!
Shikaku paused after hearing Bai Ye's words, then subconsciously nodded: "Okay."
Was it his dark humor?
"Why not just kill her directly?"
Akimichi Choza muttered, looking at Bai Ye's back, then saw the speechless looks from the others.
"Killing an important enemy is the least cost-effective option."
Hyuga Hiashi said indifferently. If it was a death match, then killing the opponent directly would be best.
But capturing them was different. Kurotsuchi was Ōnoki's granddaughter, and she would be useful to them later.
Killing her directly would be the least cost-effective.
"He wants to unify the entire Ninja World, not destroy the entire Ninja World and leave only Konoha. So, killing Kurotsuchi now, Ōnoki won't surrender, but with Kurotsuchi, Ōnoki might surrender, and we can kill her anytime. The decision-making power is in our hands if we keep her alive. If we kill her, we'll have no choice!"
Shikaku said slowly.
Bai Ye wanted to unify the entire Ninja World, and he naturally understood that it wasn't about killing everyone.
Moreover, the choice was in his hands, and Ōnoki would be hesitant later. Some people are more useful alive than dead.
[Ding! Changed Kurotsuchi's fate, rewarded one lottery chance.]
Bai Ye was a bit surprised, but thinking about it, it made sense. Kurotsuchi's fate had been completely arranged by him.
Use it.
On the battlefield, Bai Ye wasn't planning on holding back anymore.
[Ding! Successfully used lottery chance, congratulations on obtaining Yin-Yang Release.]
Yin-Yang Release?!
Because he was an Uchiha, Bai Ye naturally possessed Yin Release. And after obtaining the Sage Body, Bai Ye actually had Yang Release as well.
However, Yin-Yang Release was actually different. There was Yin-Yang nature, Yin-Yang power, and Yin-Yang Release techniques.
Nature was Chakra nature, Yin-Yang power was the Yin power and Yang power given to Naruto and Sasuke by the Six Paths Sage for sealing, which returned to the Six Paths Sage after Kaguya was sealed.
And Yin-Yang Release was the product of various advanced Ninjutsu that appeared later, such as Pain's black rods, which were created with Yin-Yang Release.
After gathering these two, Bai Ye's mind also gained some knowledge about the use of Yin-Yang Release secret techniques, and he also knew how to create black rods.
Moreover, Yang Release actually had an amplifying effect on the Sage Body.
Now, he was just missing a Rinnegan.
"Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Eight-TailsJinchuriki, if you don't make a move, your people will all die."
Jinchuriki, huh.
It was just the right time to collect them all.
Bai Ye had always thought Senju Hashirama was a bit brainless when he watched the anime.
After capturing the Tailed Beasts, he actually distributed them to other Ninja Villages. Perhaps Senju Hashirama thought at the time that he could just capture them easily, so giving them away wouldn't matter, especially with him and Madara around.
But he overlooked that he had a younger brother. If it weren't for Senju Tobirama, and if Uchiha Madara had become the Second, perhaps not so many things would have happened.
"So arrogant!"
Roshi grumbled. Was this guy going to challenge five Jinchuriki at once?
He had held his own against Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze on the Iwagakure battlefield back then.
The terror of a Jinchuriki lay in their formidable destructive power. Sealing a Tailed Beast was relatively simple, but if one became a perfect Jinchuriki, sealing them became much more difficult.
Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki; Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki; Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki; Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki; Killer Bee, the Eight-TailsJinchuriki.
After getting permission from their respective Kage, the five of them directly surrounded Bai Ye.
Given the previous situation, they couldn't let Bai Ye use Lightning Release: Lightning Fang again. A few more times, and the entire Allied Shinobi Forces might really rout.
All five of them together should be able to deal with him.
Only Fu, in fact, didn't want to participate in the battle. In Takigakure, she lived the life all Jinchuriki experienced: ostracization.
But because she and her Tailed Beast mutually acknowledged each other, after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki, her desire for freedom grew stronger. This was also a characteristic of the Seven-Tails, as a flying Tailed Beast, it naturally yearned for freedom more.
Bai Ye's actions back then actually made her very impressed.
Killing the Daimyo was indeed cool, but Fu also knew very well that she definitely couldn't do it.
Rules bound her, yet she yearned for freedom.
"Be careful, Roshi. That guy's eyes are like Uchiha Madara's back then."
Son Gokū, inside Roshi's body, warned him. He knew those eyes too well; they could control anything they wanted, inheriting the old man's eyes.
Originally, they, the Tailed Beasts, had always been unrestrained. Although feared, they lived freely.
Until one day, a wood-user came to them and said they were too dangerous and needed to be sealed. That's when their good days ended.
One who used wood, one who used eyes.
They, the Tailed Beasts, couldn't resist at all. What did it mean that they were too dangerous and needed to be sealed? Who the hell was the most dangerous one?
In the era of powerful eyes, it was normal to be unable to win.
They had thought that after so many years, that clan wouldn't produce any more Mangekyo Sharingan. After all, they had participated in so many wars and still hadn't seen an UchihaMangekyo Sharingan, so they thought they could forget those bad memories.
"Mangekyo Sharingan, huh? It's indeed troublesome. I heard that Uchiha who awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan undergo a qualitative change."
Roshi nodded, agreeing with the Four-Tails. He had fought Uchiha ClanNinja before, and they were indeed a bit troublesome to deal with. However, because he was a Jinchuriki, Genjutsu had no effect on him. The greatest advantage of being a perfect Jinchuriki was that the Tailed Beast could supply him with Chakra to break the Genjutsu the moment he fell under one.
"His ocular power is very strong. I even feel it's similar to Uchiha Madara's."
The Four-Tails' eyes were solemn. The several Tailed Beasts were in the vicinity, and they could all sense and communicate with each other.
And all five Tailed Beasts felt a terrifying aura from Bai Ye.
"Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? Impossible, right?"
"Those Uchiha lunatics!"
"What should we do? If he's really like Madara, we might really..."
"What are you afraid of? It's debatable whether that guy even has Madara's strength, and even if he does, we five Tailed Beasts aren't without a chance!!"
The Eight-Tails interrupted their conversation at this point. Even if it was Uchiha Madara, he felt they could try. He was captured by the wood-user back then, and that wood-user was the most ruthless!
And Uchiha Madara's control over Tailed Beasts, he admitted, was indeed strong, but within a Jinchuriki's body, he didn't believe Bai Ye could control them with the Mangekyo Sharingan like Uchiha Madara.
"That's true. What's powerful about the Uchiha is just their eyes. As long as we're careful of those eyes, we'll be fine!"
The Seven-Tails also didn't want to be dominated by the Mangekyo Sharingan again. No Tailed Beast didn't want freedom. Even with perfect Jinchuriki, these people had gained the Tailed Beast's acknowledgment, but only they themselves truly knew that it was simply because there was no other way.
Once they left the Jinchuriki's body, they would be hunted down. In the past, no one cared, so they were free, but ever since Ninja learned about the Tailed Beasts' power, it became impossible for the Tailed Beasts to have any peace.
Even if they escaped, they would still be found later. Whether it was war or anything else, Tailed Beasts had become an indispensable existence for Ninja Villages.
So, rather than constantly being hunted, they might as well stay inside a Jinchuriki's body. If they found the Jinchuriki easy to get along with, they would give them Chakra. If they weren't willing to get along, they would naturally act as if the other party didn't exist, as a Jinchuriki would die in a few decades anyway.
They relayed the intelligence about dealing with the Uchiha Clan to their respective Jinchuriki, though they themselves felt it was very uncertain.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, is this guy really that strong?"
Killer Bee yelled in his rap-like manner, and Gyuki inwardly cursed him as an idiot for blurting it out.
"Careful!"
So fast!
A trace of shock flashed through Gyuki's mind. Bai Ye's speed was so great that he instantly appeared beside Killer Bee, then punched Killer Bee, sending him flying.
Immediately after, Bai Ye pulled out over thirty specialized kunai from his pocket and threw them in various directions. Upon seeing these kunai, Killer Bee, who had just gotten up from the ground, froze at the sight.
"Flying Thunder God Technique?!"
"That's right! It's Flying Thunder God!"
Saying that, Bai Ye's body moved to the location of a kunai on one side, instantly kicking the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki into the ground.
"Speed is power."
Bai Ye's flashing figure, old Ninja who had once seen the battlefield suddenly thought of Konoha's deceased Fourth Hokage.
"Flying Thunder God Technique, the Fifth Generation even knows the Flying Thunder God Technique!!"
"So strong... Konoha is sure to win!"
When the Daimyo's mansion was massacred, many KonohaNinja had gone with Bai Ye, but most of them were clan Ninja, and other Ninja had no idea that Bai Ye also knew the Flying Thunder God Technique.
And now, upon seeing Bai Ye's Flying Thunder God Technique, everyone instantly thought of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, who had turned the tide in the Third Shinobi World War.
"Minato..."
Jiraiya looked at Bai Ye's figure moving through the battlefield, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen this Ninjutsu...
He hadn't expected to see it again on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
However...
If Minato were still alive at this moment, these two figures, one yellow and one black, moving through this battlefield...
Now, after so many years, seeing it again gave Jiraiya a feeling of being in another world, a dislocation of time and space...
Simply by using the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with Taijutsu, he had already made the Jinchuriki cry out in Pain. Those highly destructive Ninjutsu couldn't hit Bai Ye at all.
Instead, they were constantly being beaten. Ai couldn't sit still in this passive situation.
Even the Allied Shinobi Forces were starting to panic.
They had initially thought that with five Jinchuriki, they were sure to win.
However, Bai Ye was able to easily suppress all five Jinchuriki.
"Use Tailed Beast Balls and wide-range attacks!"
If they couldn't hit Bai Ye, then they could only hit the KonohaNinja behind Bai Ye.
The reason Jinchuriki were terrifying was because their own wide-range techniques could change the tide of battle on the battlefield.
Whether it was Tailed Beast Balls or the elemental Ninjutsu inherent to the Tailed Beasts.
Jinchuriki, relying on the Tailed Beasts' abilities, could even stand their ground against Kage-level experts on the battlefield.
"Prepare for defense!"
Shisui and Fugaku stood at the front, ready to use Susanoo, while the Hyuga Clan also stood at the front, preparing to block these Tailed Beast Balls for Konoha.
Countless Tailed Beast Balls formed in the Tailed Beasts' mouths. Bai Ye shook his head and muttered: "You guys are still too dangerous. It seems I'll need to seal you guys after all. Beasts should have collars."
Saying that, a pattern of Sage Art flashed across Bai Ye's face. He clapped his hands and shouted: "Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!!"
Sage Art!!!?
And this was Wood Release!!!
Several red torii gates fell from the sky, directly pressing down on the five Tailed Beasts. This sudden change caught everyone present off guard.
