Chapter 571: Heat of the Battle
Jiraiya and Naruto's combined attacks easily overpower the six-tailed beasts in front of him.
"Jiraiya even pummels the four-tails and five-tails to his heart's content for his sweet revenge.
The shinobi from other villages speechlessly stare at the pettiness of the legendary Sannin.
"Perhaps it's the quirk of a strong shinobi!"
They could only utter their words to convince themselves.
Bang… Bang…
Jiraiya grabs the tails of the two tailed beasts and sends them flying toward the rest of the tailed beasts to form a pile of the tailed beasts.
"They look so pitiful!" Ayaka couldn't help but comment on the miserable state of the tailed beasts.
"They are fighting against their will while also resisting the control of Obito. So, they aren't even able to exert even fifty percent of their true strength." Kushina, who is more familiar with the tailed beast remarks.
"Naruto, pull out those small black rods from their body to free them from Obito's control. This is the only method to free them from their suffering." Kushina contacts Naruto.
"Also, those black rods have a suppressive effect on the Tailed Beast chakra. So, be careful while dealing with them. If you touch them for too long, it will sap Kurama's chakra from your body."
"Ok, Mom! I will keep it in mind." Naruto assures Kushina.
"Pervy-sage!" Naruto turns to Jiraiya and shares his plan with Jiraiya.
"Alright!"
The six-tailed beasts in front of them stand up. All of them gather chakra in front of their mouth and create a combined Super Tailed Beast bomb.
"It's huge!"
Jiraiya's eyes almost pop out of his socket.
"I don't think I can fight against this attack." He shakes his head.
"Pervy-Sage, leave this to me and my partner! Just spot the black rods on their body and help me pull them out." Naruto extends his hands in front of his chest.
"Leave it to me!" Jiraiya bumps his fists in confidence.
Fwoosh…
In the next second, a huge golden chakra avatar of Nine-tails shrouds Naruto's body. The golden avatar of Kurama is the same size as the rest of his siblings.
"So, that's the Perfect Jinchuriki transformation of the Nine-tails." The eyes of everyone at HQ widen in surprise.
Throughout history, no Jinchuriki has mastered the power of the Nine-tails. So, the tailed beast transformation of a Nine-tails Jinchuriki was always a mystery.
Now, it's the first time the entire world came to witness this unique transformation.
"According to the tailed beast legends, the Nine-tail is the eldest of all tailed beasts and as such possesses almost the same amount of chakra as the combined chakra of the rest of the tailed beasts." The shinobi IN HQ murmurs.
"From the looks of this legend seems to be true."
They utter these words after witnessing Naruto's act of creating another super giant-tailed beast ball. Naruto effortlessly manipulates a massive amount of tailed beast chakra. He creates a Super-Tailed beast ball, the same size as the rest of the tailed beast.
SHOOM…
Both Super tailed beasts bomb collide in the center. Naruto adjusted the trajectory of his tailed beast ball in such a way as to send both balls high in the sky.
Burble… Burble…
Several ripples spread across the Sensing Water Sphere in the HQ. The attack has an Extermination rating of 5.9, which is very close to six. These attacks could easily wipe out half a Nation.
It's the reason Naruto altered the trajectory of the attack and sent them flying high in the sky.
BOOM…
Both tailed beast bombs explode high in the sky. Their explosion creates another sun in the sky and the bright light of the explosion turns night to day into the area.
The heat and shockwaves of the explosion blew away the clouds in a radius of several tens of kilometers.
Rumble… Rumble…
The shockwaves finally hit the ground. Naruto quickly scoops Jiraiya inside his chakra avatar to protect him from the explosion. The huge Nine-tails avatar raises its Nine-tails and shields its body.
Other tailed beasts also use their protective methods to protect themselves. For a brief second, Obito loses control over the tailed beasts. The powerful chakra fluctuations of the lingering chakra of the tailed beast bombs disturb the natural flow of chakra in the surroundings.
Obito also stops what he was doing to escape to the Kamui dimension.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Naruto's vision turns blurry before returning to normal.
"Huh! Where am I?" Naruto quickly looks at his body.
"Ah! Where is my chakra cloak? Am I another genjutsu?" He looks towards the sky in confusion.
Bang…
Kurama slaps Naruto with his fingers.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
He swiftly turns around and notices Kurama beside him.
"Huh! Kurama?! Are you also struck in genjutsu with him? I thought I won't fall for his trick a third time. But why am I here again? Ugh… What should I do?!" Naruto grabs his head in panic.
"…"
Kurama speechlessly stares at Naruto.
"Naruto, look behind you!" Kurama points out.
"Huh! What's behind me?" Naruto quickly turns around.
"They are…" His eyes widen and he quickly gets into a combat stance.
"No, wait! Why are they in the same genjutsu as me?" Naruto pauses for a second and stares at the six-tailed beasts in front of him.
"Anyway… It doesn't matter. I will beat them up." He, once again takes a combat stance.
"…"
"…"
"…"
…
The tailed beasts are stunned at Naruto's antics. Kurama's face turns red and his eyebrows twitch.
Bang…
He slaps Naruto's head again with his finger.
"Hey, what was that for?" Naruto grabs his head in pain and glares at Kurama.
"Kurama, your Jinchuriki… Umm… How to say it… he is quite amusing!" Matatabi thinks for a while to pick a suitable word to describe Kurama.
"Haha…"
Son Goku, the fourth tail chuckles.
"He is an interesting fellow!"
"You are right!" A person's voice echoes in the space.
"Who's that?" Naruto narrows his eyes to look further and notices a man standing in front of Son Goku.
The man isn't even as tall as the toe-nail of the Four-tails.
"Where is this place? And isn't he the person we were fighting against?"
Sigh…
Kurama sighs at Naruto's stupidity and explains to him.
"Naruto, this is the shared mental scape of all-tailed beasts. Our chakra made contact during the battle. We were able to enter this place because they are briefly free from Obito's control." Kurama explains to him.
"So, that's how it is?" Naruto nods his head in understanding.
"So, he is the chosen one?" Saiken curiously glances at Naruto.
"He is the reincarnation of Ashura!" Kurama reveals the information to them.
He himself heard it from Izuna, who later proved it by drawing the aura of Ashura from Naruto's soul.
"Looks like the time of prophecy is near since the child of prophecy is in front of us?" Chomei also acknowledges Naruto.
"He has such a pure and honest aura." Kokuō also acknowledges Naruto.
"His will and fortitude are as sturdy as my armor." Isobu also nods at Naruto.
"This brat is funny and cheerful. He is my type." Son Goku smiles at Naruto.
"Sorry for not being your type." Roshi, Son Goku's host, opens his mouth.
"You are as serious as ever!" Son Goku shakes his head.
"Perhaps if you were a little more cheerful, then we might get along." Son Goku replies.
"I can't forget the pain and suffering I underwent because of you." Roshi shakes his head.
"However, perhaps I was too rigid, partner!" A small smile appears on his face. Roshi notices the cheerful interaction of Naruto with the remaining tailed beasts and sighs.
--------------------
Mei decisively blows up the lava golem in hopes of destroying the Gedo Statue.
The dust, debris, and aftershocks of the explosion settle down to reveal the Gedo Statue.
The explosion blew the lower half of the Gedo statue into bits and pieces. Several scorch marks are spread across the surface of the Gedo statue and the area around its head is slowly withering away.
Before Mei could recover from the shockwaves, of the previous explosion. Another wave of shockwave from the detonation of two-tailed beast bombs hits her. And since she is very close to the battlefield, she doesn't even get enough chance to deploy her defenses.
Naruto also couldn't reach to her on time to protect her.
Bang… bang…
The bracelet on her wrist shatters, and the crimson barrier shrouds her, protecting her from the explosion.
"In the end, I still have to rely on my ever-reliable husband." A faint smile appears on Mei's face.
However, the next second, her expression turns serious. The shockwaves also engulf the already battered Gedo Statue.
"I hope this thing dies for good in this explosion." Mei silently prays in her heart.
