Chapter 865

Kakashi received Lin Cheng's glance and understood instantly; he stepped forward with contemptuous tone, making his stance clear to the Raikage.

"If you've got the guts, go stop us!"

"You bunch of scumbags! Today, Kiraibi, I'll teach you what the Cloud Village's rules are!"

As the Eight-Tails jinchūriki, Kiraibi was always confident. Of course, he'd never actually faced any real enemies.

Seeing the four massive figures draw ever closer to the Cloud Village in battle, he broke free from the Raikage's restraint—his hand had never truly intended to block—and charged out, immediately entering Tailed Beast Mode to join the fight.

"Who the hell are you? Sasuke and Onii-san, get out of the way! This bastard dares to provoke us? Dad, let's take him down together!"

The four fighters, previously locked in chaos, froze at Naruto's shout and all turned sharply toward the newly arrived Kiraibi.

Eight-Tails jinchūriki? Doesn't matter—fight first, ask questions later!

"Those octopus tails look good, brother—let's each chop off four of them!"

Sasuke watched as Naruto lunged at the Eight-Tails jinchūriki and began fighting; after greeting Uchiha Itachi, both raised their hands and drew the swords hanging from their Susano'o's waists.

I wonder how long it'll take for a ball to regenerate after all its tails are cut off! And he dared to hit Naruto's face? Unforgivable!

"Naruto, drag out the octopus's true body!"

Bofengshui Sect's Fourth Hokage had initially been unable to join the fray, but upon seeing the Uchiha siblings' actions, he instantly understood their intent.

If we want the Cloud Village to feel pain, then let's hit them hard!

"Dad, you make it sound easy—this octopus keeps pulling back. It won't come out, and Naruto and Kiraibi just trade punches back and forth, but they can't grab the Eight-Tails!"

"I'll do it!"

Izuna and Tobirama had also stopped fighting; now watching the Eight-Tails shrink further, Izuna's Sharingan slowly spun—when it came to controlling Tailed Beasts, only the Sharingan's power could truly prevail.

"Aaaah, damn Uchiha!"

The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, had no desire to emerge—and didn't even want Kiraibi to fight.

But now it wasn't about what it wanted—it was under the control of the Uchiha's Sharingan, and it couldn't escape! So despite being a perfect jinchūriki, Gyūki was forcibly ripped from Kiraibi's body.

"Onii-san!"

Sasuke and Itachi exchanged a glance; the two Susano'o wielded their Wu Shidao and slashed down swiftly.

The Raikage, seeing the dire situation, knew he had no choice but to act now.

But the moment he moved, a figure appeared before him.

"Raikage? Speed? You're probably not very good at it."

Tobirama stood before the Raikage, flicking his kunai, his sinister smile successfully halting the Fourth Raikage in his tracks.

"Senju Tobirama!"

The Raikage gritted his teeth and spat out that name, lightning flashing over his body, his eyes blazing with battle lust.

"Damn Uchiha!"

A pained roar erupted from Gyūki—the agony of severed tails sent its power nearly out of control—but two Nine-Tails, one on each side, pinned it down; it couldn't even twitch.

At this moment, it had no energy to wonder why there were two Nine-Tails—it only wanted to know: after all its tails are gone, will its head be next?

"Who are you calling damned?"
