Chapter 256

But deep anxiety still involuntarily appeared in his eyes,

He knew this frantic bombardment was merely a delaying tactic.

Once these people found his weakness,

Thought of a strategy to counter him,

They would launch an attack the instant they could.

Eight-Tails had no confidence he could withstand their combined assault alone,

And now he was gradually losing his advantage!!!

Even in some respects,

The balance of victory had begun to tilt,

He was now on the losing side.

At present, he seemed to hold the upper hand,

Constantly pressing the four of them,

But Eight-Tails knew,

He had not inflicted any real damage on these four,

On the contrary, his own stamina was constantly dropping!!!

"No way… Old Bull Demon… can't do anything about them?"

Shukaku said behind him, grimacing.

Among the seven Tailed Beasts,

Shukaku lasted the shortest time.

After going out briefly, he was swiftly defeated by these four working together.

So now, recalling this,

Shukaku felt deeply ashamed!!

He had finally won his chance to make his debut,

Was ready to shine brightly,

But he was defeated so quickly!!!

Yet Shukaku himself hadn't expected,

That the other six Tailed Beasts would follow his footsteps so swiftly,

Also falling to these four.

And now it seemed,

Eight-Tails Old Bull Demon was barely holding on.

Watching the fierce battle between Eight-Tails and these four,

Nine-Tails' eyes never blinked.

If Eight-Tails won this battle,

It would be joy for all,

But if Eight-Tails also fell to these four,

He would have no choice but to enter the fight himself.

Watching Eight-Tails gradually fall behind,

Nine-Tails' heart sank deeper.

What truly darkened his mood was not Eight-Tails' defeat,

But that he realized,

He himself had no good way to counter these four!!

Although these four's physical strength and chakra reserves were inferior to their Tailed Beasts,

They were extremely proficient in ninjutsu,

Even the most basic ninjutsu,

Could be pushed to its ultimate effect in their hands,

Nothing like any human Nine-Tails had ever faced before!!!

And compared to Eight-Tails,

Nine-Tails had no overwhelming advantage,

He merely possessed several times more chakra than Eight-Tails,

And his body's recovery speed was also much stronger.

Beyond that,

He had little else to surpass Eight-Tails,

Nine-Tails estimated in his own mind,

Even if he entered the battle himself,

The best possible outcome would be a stalemate with these four.

To utterly defeat these four,

It seemed he was unlikely to achieve it!!!

"Damn!!!"

"Old Bull Demon won't hold out much longer!"

"These bastards caught his opening!!"

The Nine-Tails' eyes darkened as he said in a low voice.

And the truth was exactly as he had said,

after a continuous barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs,

the Eight-Tails found that his attacks seemed to be having little effect,

so he chose to use his body to crush these four people!!

But the instant he stopped firing the Tailed Beast Bomb from his mouth,

the four immediately leapt above his head,

and from four directions unleashed a combined ninjutsu on him!!

Lei Dun!!

Earth Release!!

Wind Release!!

Water Release!!

The four-element ninjutsu fused together flawlessly,

and slammed into the Eight-Tails from all directions with brutal force!!

Clearly it was the first time these four had joined hands to cast their respective ninjutsu,

yet their coordination was seamless,

looking as though a single person had unleashed four composite ninjutsu in succession!!

"Roar!!!"

A wretched cry of pain!!

The Eight-Tails crashed heavily backward, slamming onto the ground!!

His massive body kicked up countless chunks of earth!!

If not for every house and palace having been reinforced with formations by Hashirama Senju,

just this one impact alone,

would have shattered the vast palace of the Land of Fire to pieces!!!

Yet seeing that only a few stones had cracked on the ground,

and the surrounding palaces were completely unscathed,

the pupils of the four involuntarily contracted sharply!!

What a grand display!!

They immediately realized,

that the entire surroundings had been laid with reinforcement formations by Hashirama,
