Chapter 305

They really keep coming one after another!

Really, they keep coming one after another!

Standing on a distant rooftop, feeling the cool night breeze, I watched as ninjas kept arriving one after another to join the effort to intercept the Nine-Tails.

Winter Lion couldn't help but admire how determined these people were to protect their homeland—it was truly not to be underestimated.

Dong Shilang couldn't help but marvel at these people's determination to protect their homeland; it was truly not to be underestimated.

Although most of their efforts were futile, not a single person gave up.

"Ebisu, you should go help those trapped civilians!"

"Ebisu, you should go help those trapped civilians!"

"Facing the Nine-Tails is still too early for you."

"The Nine-Tails is still too much for you to handle."

Seeing that even his 'partner' for today was preparing to go face the Nine-Tails to stop it from hurting the village, Winter Lion, surprised, kicked that nuisance into the flower street just moments ago.

Seeing that even today's 'partner' was preparing to go to the Nine-Tails' side to stop it from harming the village, Dong Shilang, surprised, kicked this nuisance into the flower street just now.

Have him go rescue those injured ladies.

Have him go rescue those injured young ladies.

"Uchiha Flame Formation"

Watching the Leaf ninjas gradually gather, he received the senjutsu chakra transmitted from his shadow clone.

Watching the Leaf Village ninjas gradually gather, I received the senjutsu chakra transmitted from my shadow clone.

Winter Lion hesitated not at all, directly performing the sealing technique that, in the original story, held back the Eight-Tails for a while.

Dong Shilang hesitated not at all, directly using the sealing technique that in the original story had held off the Eight-Tails for a while.

"Shadow Clone!"

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

He created several clones, opening a few exits at the edge of the barrier for ordinary people to escape.

I created several clones, opening a few exits at the edge of the barrier for ordinary people to escape.

"Ninja Art: Spirit Summoning Technique"

"Ninja Art: Spirit Summoning Technique"

With only a single barrier, it really can't withstand much; if the Nine-Tails launches just one or two Tailed Beast Bombs, the barrier won't hold.

With just a single barrier, it couldn't withstand much; I estimated that if the Nine-Tails launched even one or two Tailed Beast Balls, the barrier would collapse.

Winter Lion directly bit his finger, performed the Summoning Technique, and found himself an ally.

Dong Shilang directly bit his finger, performed the Spirit Summoning Technique, and found himself a helper.

Of course, not some half‑baked like the Mountain Carving.

Of course, not like that half-baked Mountain Eagle.

"Chuubei Maru, you're going to be a handful from now on!"

"Loyal Soldier, you're going to be a handful from now on!"

A gigantic lizard appeared opposite the Nine-Tails at that moment.

A huge lizard appeared opposite the Nine-Tails at this moment.

Not long ago, feeling that his Mountain Carving summon was only half‑baked in real combat, Winter Lion thought of the Cape Lizard and made a summoning contract with it.

Not long ago, feeling that my Mountain Eagle was lackluster in actual combat, Dong Shilang thought of the Cape Lizard and signed a summoning contract with it.

Now it was just the right time to use it against the Nine-Tails.

This timing was perfect for dealing with the Nine-Tails.

"Lord Winter Lion, even I can't hold out long against the Nine‑Tails~"

"Lord Dong Shilang, even I can't hold out long against the Nine-Tails~"

Upon seeing the Nine-Tails, Chuubei Maru was surprised but spoke honestly. Even though he was confident, he believed he could defeat even Gamabunta from Mount Myoboku or Manda from the Ryuchi Cave.

Seeing the Nine-Tails' silhouette, Loyal Soldier exclaimed in surprise, speaking frankly. Although confident, it believed it could defeat even the Mount Myoboku's Wen Tai and the Dragon Earth Cave's Myriad Snakes.

But against the Nine-Tails, he really had no confidence.

But facing the Nine-Tails, it truly had no confidence.

"Don't worry! This is Konoha; you just need to keep that big guy tied up in the barrier for a while, and naturally someone will come to deal with this trouble!"

"Don't worry! This is Leaf Village; you just need to drag that big guy into the barrier for a while, and naturally someone will come to deal with this trouble!"

After saying that, Winter Lion turned his head toward the stunned Leaf ninjas below and shouted: "This is the Security Force; all Leaf ninjas, temporarily follow my command!"

After saying that, Dong Shilang turned and shouted at the stunned Leaf Village ninjas below: "This is the Guard Corps; all Leaf Village ninjas, temporarily follow my command!"

Activating his Sharingan, Winter Lion continued: "All ninjas without long‑range restraining means should temporarily withdraw from the barrier to help evacuate and rescue civilians,"

Flaunting his Sharingan, Dong Shilang continued: "All ninjas without long-range restraint, temporarily withdraw from the barrier to help evacuate and rescue civilians,"

"The rest of you, stay with me to restrain that big guy. Also, send someone to the Hokage's office to let the Hokage decide how to handle this."

"The rest of you, stay with me to restrain this big guy. Also, send someone to the Hokage Office to let the Hokage confirm how to handle this!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the gathered people had no organization whatsoever; each one, regardless of whether they had long‑range attacks or restraining means, just rushed forward.

At this moment, the gathered people had no organization whatsoever; each, regardless of whether they had long-range attacks or restraints, just rushed forward.

Among them were even exaggerated ones, wielding kunai and shuriken‑like weapons, trying to stop the Nine‑Tails from destroying the village. Besides pointlessly throwing away their lives, what else could they do?

Among them were even more extravagant sorts, wielding weapons like kunai and such, trying to stop the Nine-Tails from destroying the village. Besides pointlessly throwing away their lives, what else could they do?

Watching from atop Chuubei Maru's head, Winter Lion shook his head.

Watching this, Dong Shilang, standing on Loyal Soldier's head, shook his head.

"Yes! Sir~"

"Yes! My lord~"

The ninjas' actions were still very quick; upon seeing the prominent Uchiha stepping forward, and seeing his summoned beast and the barrier he'd erected—all so extravagant—they had no hesitation and all followed Winter Lion's orders.

The ninjas' actions were still very quick; upon seeing the prominent Uchiha step forward, and seeing that his summoned beast and the barrier he set up were so extravagant, they had no hesitation and all followed Dong Shilang's instructions.

Those who were retreating did so, while those far away who possessed long‑range abilities kept using them.

Those retreating retreated; those far away with long-range skills kept using their long-range skills.

"Come on! Chuubei Maru~"

"Go! Loyal Soldier~"

With Winter Lion's low shout, Chuubei Maru's massive body surged forward like a huge locomotive toward the Nine‑Tails.

With Dong Shilang's low shout, Loyal Soldier's massive body, like a huge locomotive, charged straight at the Nine-Tails.

Boom!

Boom!

A muffled boom rang out, making even the ground jump; the distant Leaf ninjas outputting attacks were thrown left and right.

A muffled boom rang out, making even the ground jump. The distant Leaf Village ninjas outputting attacks were shaken left and right.

"All ninjas who can use Yomi Numa, do so; everyone else should use their own methods, being careful not to let the techniques clash."

"All ninjas who know Yellow Spring Swamp, cast it; others, each use your own methods, making sure not to let ninjutsu clash."

After having Chuubei Maru slam the Nine‑Tails into the Yomi Numa he had prepared beforehand, Winter Lion began ordering the distant attackers to contribute their strength.

After making Loyal Soldier slam the opposing Nine-Tails headfirst into the Yellow Spring Swamp I had prepared beforehand, Dong Shilang began ordering the distant attacking ninjas to contribute their strength.

The Nine‑Tails is simply too violent; on his own, he could not control it for any length of time.

The Nine-Tails is truly too violent; if it were just me alone, there would be no way to control it for any length of time.

Since each of these people loves the village so much, now is the perfect time for them to contribute their strength.

Since these people each love the village so much, now is exactly the time to have them contribute their strength.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Only when truly facing the Nine-Tails does one realize how ferocious this guy's power is, let alone that it hasn't been split into two by Minato Namikaze and remains a whole.

「Fire Release: Dragon Flame Chant Technique」

Facing nine tails entwined with massive chakra and a hurricane, whipping toward him and Zhongbing Wan, Dong Shilang felt a huge headache.

Each swing of this guy's tails causes destructive power no less than the release of a large-scale A-rank Ninjutsu, astonishingly powerful.

What's worse, the opponent doesn't just have one tail but nine, and when they all swing together, hardly anyone can withstand them head-on.

「Thanks for your hard work, Zhongbing Wan~」

Fortunately he wasn't fighting alone; he used Ninjutsu to block five tails, and the remaining four were blocked by Zhongbing Wan beneath him.

But before he could catch his breath, the Nine-Tails, deep in the Yellow Spring Swamp, opened its massive mouth, and waves of dangerous aura that made one's heart tremble began to permeate the barrier.

「MMP, Dai Tu you bastard, actually launching a Tailed Beast Ball at me—I should have just killed this asshole from the start! 」

Looking at the Nine-Tails opposite him, the tomoe in Dong Shilang's eyes spun wildly, a throbbing feeling filling his chest.

If I don't handle this well, I could very well end up dead.

「Earth Release: Earth Core」

Through the vision of the Sharingan, seeing that the opponent's Tailed Beast Ball was almost ready, Dong Shilang hesitated not at all, directly controlling the earth beneath the Nine-Tails to raise a high stone pillar aimed at its chin.

Boom—

A burst of multicolored fireworks exploded above the sky of Leaf Village.

The light it emitted could be seen not just in Leaf Village, but even by residents of Huo Zhi Guo tens or hundreds of kilometers away; at this moment, the sudden fireworks in the night sky were visible to them.

Phew!

He wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead, and Dong Shilang felt his back turn icy cold.

Not to mention him, everyone in the barrier felt relieved, as if they had just survived a disaster~
