Chapter 223: Tailed Beast Eight-Scroll = Natural Disaster!
Chapter 223: Tailed Beast Eight-Scroll = Natural Disaster!
Boom!
The curled-up body suddenly accelerated, spinning on the spot as eight tentacles extended and spread out.
It was as if a terrifying storm had appeared out of nowhere, and the storm's range kept expanding.
Exaggerated!
Tang Ping, flying in mid-air, truly experienced the terror of the tailed beast.
Its destructive power was like a natural disaster.
No wonder it could balance the Five Great Shinobi Countries alongside the Senju Hashirama.
Relying on the tailed beast jinchuriki was what kept the Five Great Nations in a superior position.
To put it bluntly:
No matter how strong your small country is, if the enemy fires a Tailed Beast Ball, it could wipe out an entire village. What good is your strength then?
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of meters!
The storm that rushed in, connecting heaven and earth, destroyed everything in this area.
Even Tang Ping in mid-air felt a terrifying gravitational pull, dragging him into the storm. He used all his chakra, making the flames on his hands and legs spray more to provide more thrust to escape its influence.
If he was in such a predicament, it was even worse for the Konoha shinobi on the ground.
"Ah!"
"Be careful!"
"Quick, retreat!"
...
Slower Konoha shinobi were swept into the storm.
This was only possible because Jiraiya had warned them in time. Without his command, the casualties would have been even more severe.
After about a minute.
The terrifying storm that had swept everything finally subsided.
Almost ten square kilometers of land had changed.
What was once a sparse area with some vegetation and scattered rocks now resembled a flat spiral terrain.
Everything had been leveled by the Eight-Tails' attack.
"Yay, Tailed Beast Eight-Scroll, big success!"
Killer Bee's strange voice echoed, revealing the name of this super move.
Tailed Beast Eight-Scroll!
It was a super clearing jutsu.
One move could level not just people, but entire mountains.
"This is the tailed beast!"
Tang Ping muttered to himself upon landing.
Without witnessing a tailed beast's full power, one could never understand why humans fear them so much.
Kage-level ninjas can indeed suppress tailed beasts, but in terms of destructive power, they can never match (with a few exceptions, like Hashirama and Madara... I suspect you're implying something about us).
Standing beside him were Konoha shinobi with faces of shock and fear.
Just one such attack had cost several hundred lives among the support troops.
And this was only because the shinobi had retreated quickly and were spread out. If they had been gathered in one place, such a move might have wiped them all out.
The jinchuriki's destructive power was simply unreasonable.
Step!
Jiraiya jumped to Tang Ping's side.
The future Fourth Raikage, A, also returned to the side of B, who had returned to human form.
It was clear that they were about to 'team up.'
The opponent was a 'team' that could combine their power to achieve 1+1>2.
However, on their side, Tang Ping had no confidence in coordinating with Jiraiya.
"Kid, can you buy me some time?"
Jiraiya asked with a serious expression, clearly intending to enter Sage Mode.
"Fat chance, do you think they'll give you that time?"
Tang Ping gestured for him to look at the center of the battlefield.
There!
The A and B combination had already locked onto them, ready to attack at the slightest movement.
Jiraiya murmured to himself.
"This is troublesome!"
He knew very well that the opponent would not give him time to enter Sage Mode.
At this moment, he regretted not practicing more in Sage Mode.
Even though he had learned many techniques from Tang Ping, he hadn't spent much time practicing them.
After all, effort doesn't always guarantee success, but not putting in effort is indeed much easier.
Plus, he was busy resisting the Stone Shinobi and dealing with prophecies, leaving no time to practice those techniques.
"Let the others go help Sensei Minato. Staying here will only increase casualties!"
Tang Ping reminded him.
He couldn't command these reinforcements.
After all, he was still part of Konoha, and he couldn't let this blood bag truly fall before he had drained all the blood from Konoha. So, he was prepared to lend a hand.
"Alright!" Jiraiya turned to the Konoha shinobi around him, who were ready to join the battle. "You go help Minato resist the Cloud Shinobi Army. This side is left to me... and my companions!"
He added the word 'companions' at the end, clearly regarding Tang Ping as a peer of his own level.
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"
These Konoha shinobi were not fools; they could read the situation. However, without orders, they couldn't act on their own. Only after receiving the command did they dare to rush to the other battlefield.
Swish, swish!
One by one, the shinobi dashed towards the Konoha camp a few kilometers away, where the commotion was growing louder.
They could even see a massive cat-like monster there.
The Two-Tails!
It had indeed appeared.
Though they didn't know why it showed up now, it was definitely here.
Even if it wasn't as strong as Killer Bee, it was still formidable and a fresh force.
Minato Namikaze, who was already struggling to hold off the Third Raikage, would surely be sweating profusely.
Tang Ping was a bit worried about him.
If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Kukune was there, and her Adamantine Chains could easily handle tailed beasts, he would have considered fleeing.
How could they fight?
The Cloud Shinobi Army was clearly prepared to fight to the death, while their side had limited strength. How could they win?
They couldn't win; they lacked the strength, right?
But!
Konoha couldn't lose this battle.
Even if they were destined to lose, they couldn't lose today.
Because Uchiha Tang Ping was here.
He did want to be a spectator and didn't care much about Konoha, but he didn't want to be branded a deserter. Besides, with Uzumaki Kukune around, they couldn't afford to lose.
"Why can't I just lie back and relax..."
He muttered to himself while secretly pulling out a bottle of Hot Spring Water from his tactical belt and crushing it.
A massive amount of natural energy quickly spread through his body, swiftly merging with his chakra.
"You..."
Jiraiya, with his keen senses, noticed the changes in Tang Ping but pretended to be unaware.
Unfortunately!
The 'Ebi' Team couldn't ignore Tang Ping's information and understood that the change in his aura signified something significant. They immediately took action.
"Toad Mouth Bind Technique!"
Jiraiya bit his thumb, formed seals, and slapped the ground, summoning the giant stomach of the Toad from Mount Myoboku to swallow them both.
This was not an attack but a protective measure to help Tang Ping enter Sage Mode.
Even if the transition was quick, it still required some time, and this summoning technique served that purpose.
Jiraiya's combat experience was indeed rich, and he made the best move at the right moment.
Outside the stomach, the 'Ebi' Team's attacks were already incoming.
Boom, boom!
Two parts of the stomach wall bulged, showing the force of the attacks.
"Phew, lucky I was faster. Kid, it's up to you now!"
Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief and looked at the figure with the Flame Pattern on his forehead, whose aura had become overwhelmingly powerful and fiery.
"Release!"
He immediately dismissed the summoning technique.
Since Tang Ping had successfully entered Sage Mode, he no longer needed protection.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
As Tang Ping switched to his emotional mode, his eyes glowed with a golden-red hue, as if a sage had descended.
Jiraiya could also use Sage Mode, but he knew his mastery was far inferior to Tang Ping's.
The gap was too large!
The minimal changes in Tang Ping's aura indicated his high level of control over Sage Mode.
After the stomach wall disappeared, a blue figure darted towards them from behind.
"Lightning Plow Heat Blade!"
A, carrying a terrifying force and momentum, launched his attack.
This was a ninjutsu-taijutsu combination akin to 'Cosmic Phantom,' with immense power.
The key was its speed!
Even a jonin might not react in time.
But against Tang Ping in Sage Mode, it was a different story.
His perception in this state was greatly enhanced, making him incredibly sharp. He immediately detected the attack from behind and quickly ducked to avoid it.
