Chapter 258

They'll even seize our openings!!

Looking at the pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball radiating light,

Yeyue swallowed hard.

"This… this is the Nine-Tails?"

His words echoed the thoughts of the other three.

Though the other eight Tailed Beasts had just unleashed identical attacks,

whether in quality or quantity,

their Tailed Beast Balls were nowhere near the same level as the Nine-Tails' before them!!!

If this massive number of Tailed Beast Balls came crashing down,

we wouldn't even have a place to hide!!!

"It's time to fight for our lives!!!"

"Hold nothing back—use your full strength immediately!!"

"If we make even one mistake, we'll die here!!!"

Yeyue shed his usual cheerful expression,

and instead spoke to the three with grim seriousness.

Upon hearing his words,

all three nodded silently in understanding.

If even one of these Tailed Beast Balls struck us,

we wouldn't even leave behind a corpse!!

【Nine-Tails: Hmph! See that? This is my true glory!! If not for Hashirama Senju, no one in this world could stand against me!!】

【One-Tails: Heh… which one of you foxes was controlled by genjutsu and went berserk, unable to tell east from west?】

【Nine-Tails: Damn it!! You're just a stinking cat, are you looking for a fight? If you want to die, just say so!!】

【Jiraiya: No matter how many times I see the Nine-Tails' power, I still find it terrifying. To ordinary people, this isn't even describable as a disaster—it's beyond that.】

【Minato Namikaze: That night, had I not paid with my life, I could never have sealed such a terrifying being. I can hardly imagine how he offered no resistance at all before the First Hokage.】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Uh… is my inside fox really this terrifying? So his power is this strong…】

【Kakashi Hatake: Naruto, you've only seen a fraction of the Nine-Tails' power. Only when you grow strong enough will you understand just how terrifying he is…】

【Fourth Raikage: I wonder if the four First Kage could defeat the Nine-Tails before us?】

124. The Might of Hashirama Senju!! One Punch, Instant Kill!

"Damn it!!"

"How can this giant fox be so terrifying?!"

A flash of lightning surged over Yeyue's body,

and he narrowly dodged the Tailed Beast Ball that passed just beside his left shoulder.

His previously relaxed expression vanished,

his face now drenched in a fine sheen of sweat!!

The other three looked no better,

their faces filled with tension and anxiety!!

They had assumed that the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails,

though stronger than the first seven Tailed Beasts,

wouldn't be vastly superior!!

But since the Eight-Tails appeared,

these two had surged to an entirely different level compared to the first seven!!

The Eight-Tails had risen a tier above the first seven,

and the Nine-Tails had risen another tier above the Eight-Tails!!

Seeing the Nine-Tails continue unleashing dense Tailed Beast Balls without pause,

he showed no sign of slowing down,

and the four were stunned once again!!

This giant fox…

not only had chakra reserves several times greater than the other eight Tailed Beasts,

but his stamina was equally terrifying!!

Such intense attacks had left even the four dodging them exhausted, yet the Nine-Tails showed no fatigue at all!!

"No… if we keep going like this, we'll lose."

"We need a plan—we can't keep taking this punishment!!"

Dodging frantically as a Tailed Beast Ball fell from the sky toward him,

Yeyue shouted anxiously to the remaining three.

"Do any of you have any ideas?"

"After observing so long, I haven't spotted a single weakness in this giant fox."

"If you have any suggestions, say them—I'll give you my full support."

"If you have any good ideas, speak up—I will do my utmost to cooperate with you."

He was never skilled in taijutsu,

He had never been a taijutsu practitioner of any real skill,

After fighting the previous eight Tailed Beasts in succession,

he had already expended much of his physical strength.

And facing the Nine-Tails' fierce assault,

"No!!! These three can't hold out much longer."

Seeing the growing exhaustion on their faces,

Yuyue thought to himself.

Among the four,

only he had the best taijutsu,

and he emphasized physical strength,

so after these several high-intensity battles,

although he was somewhat tired, his overall energy drain was minimal!!

But these three were not accustomed to prolonged, continuous combat.

……

"Hmm… If these four can't come up with a better battle strategy,"

"they will surely lose to the Nine-Tails."

Minato Namikaze stared at the battle footage on the screen,

stroking his chin as he spoke.

Kakashi's eyes showed a hint of confusion as he asked,

"Master Minato… even if all four Kage teamed up, they still couldn't withstand the Nine-Tails' attack?"

On the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage,

he had never personally fought the Nine-Tails,

his main task being to evacuate civilians and reduce potential casualties from the Nine-Tails.

Naruto had never fully unleashed the Nine-Tails' power,

so he never had the chance to fight the full-bodied Nine-Tails.

"Of the nine Tailed Beasts, the Nine-Tails has no weakness."

"Inexhaustible chakra combined with unparalleled regenerative ability…"
