Chapter 243: The Tailed Beasts' Fearsome Chakra Levels
"Jonin Mu Yue, are you alright after using such a powerful combination jutsu earlier?" asked a Konoha Jonin as they prepared to set out for reinforcements.
"The enemies Jiraiya-sama is facing are strong. It could be dangerous if we're not at our best," he added, concerned.
Mu Yue offered a reassuring smile and replied, "Don't worry, I seized the opportunity to recover some chakra, so I'm ready for battle."
The Konoha Jonin nodded at Mu Yue's assurance and fell silent, joining Mu Yue and the others as they rushed toward the site of the recent explosion.
However, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"Not only is he powerful, handsome, and humble, but he also values his comrades. If he weren't so low-key, he would have been famous in Konoha by now," he thought to himself.
Although he hadn't interacted with Mu Yue before, he now felt a strong desire to become friends, if they managed to survive this war.
As all of them were Jonin, they moved with great speed and soon arrived at the battleground where Jiraiya and the Jinchuriki were fighting.
When Mu Yue and his group arrived, it seemed that an intense battle had just taken place, as everyone present looked disheveled and the ground was littered with the bodies of Iwagakure ninjas and Konoha ninjas alike.
"Jiraiya-sama, we have successfully repelled the attacking Iwagakure forces and achieved a great victory. We are here to provide support," the Konoha Jonin quickly reported to Jiraiya.
"Hahaha, well done!" Jiraiya laughed heartily.
Although he had anticipated the presence of Iwagakure forces due to their signal earlier, he was delighted to hear of their victory.
Kakashi, who spotted Mu Yue among the newcomers, was surprised, but with a formidable enemy before them, he refrained from inquiring further.
"Did you hear that? You've already lost," Jiraiya taunted the two Jinchuriki, his face split into a wide grin.
"As long as we stand here, Iwagakure hasn't lost," the elder Jinchuriki, Laozi, said coldly, his face impassive.
He didn't consider the Konoha ninjas worth his attention. In his eyes, it would merely take one more Bijuu Dama to deal with them.
"Once we kill all of you and break through the defense line, Iwagakure will be victorious," Han stated nonchalantly. He didn't believe that Jiraiya could stand against him and Laozi combined.
Their previous attack had merely been a test of their opponents' strength; they hadn't yet displayed their true power.
"Arrogant fools! It's time you witnessed the might of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin!" Jiraiya declared, his confidence in his own strength evident in his tone.
"You'll soon find out who the arrogant one truly is," Laozi replied, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he heard Jiraiya's words. Then, he unleashed the tailed beast's chakra within him.
Boom! Boom!
An immensely powerful aura suddenly rose, and the mere act of releasing their chakra caused cracks to appear on the ground, unable to withstand the sheer force.
A reddish chakra, almost tangible, materialized around Laozi, eventually forming into the head of a gigantic simian skull.
Seeing Laozi unleashing his true power, Han also went all out, releasing the tailed beast's chakra within him. A gigantic white beast skull took form.
The moment the two Jinchuriki unleashed their chakra, a gale-force wind blew, pushing Jiraiya's hair backward and stirring up dust and debris, adding to the already heavy atmosphere.
"So this is the power of a Jinchuriki... What terrifying chakra," a Konoha ninja muttered, his forehead beaded with sweat as he witnessed the awe-inspiring display of power by Laozi and Han.
The sheer strength of their chakra was palpable, requiring no special sensory jutsu to detect.
Mu Yue, ever calm and collected, took the opportunity to appraise the two Jinchuriki.
【Name: Laozi】
【Chakra: 3,250,000 (???)】
【Skills: Lava Style (Proficiency: 100/15,000) ...】
【Name: Han】
【Chakra: 3,650,000 (???)】
【Skills: Steam Style - Unrivaled Strength (Proficiency: 2,200/2,500) ...】
Mu Yue was unsure if their stats were impressive or not. On the one hand, their chakra levels were ridiculously high, but on the other hand, many powerful Jonin had skill proficiencies far surpassing theirs.
"The amount of chakra the tailed beasts possess is indeed frightening," Mu Yue thought to himself, noticing that their chakra levels were still rapidly increasing.
Without the tailed beasts, Laozi would be mediocre, and Han would be barely passable as a Jonin.
Since Laozi's Lava Style was his own, Mu Yue could see the details of his proficiency in it, but Han's Steam Style was a power bestowed by the Five-Tails, so Mu Yue could only see the application and not the skill itself.
When their chakra levels reached over five million, they stopped increasing, and Mu Yue couldn't tell if this was their limit or the limit of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails. Nonetheless, the number was already a daunting figure in Mu Yue's eyes.
This highlighted the importance of skills—even with vast amounts of chakra, the Jinchuriki had ultimately been captured by Akatsuki. If that much chakra were given to Mu Yue, with his plethora of highly proficient skills, he was confident he could single-handedly take down Akatsuki.
"If you want to oppose us, bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki here. You're not qualified to fight us otherwise!" Laozi bellowed, his voice filled with laughter. Then, he began to gather chakra for a Tailed Beast Ball.
The simian skull opened its maw, and the terrifying chakra began to condense, eventually forming a small black sphere. The sphere grew larger as Laozi continued to channel his chakra into it.
Previously, Laozi had also used a Tailed Beast Ball, but the commotion was much smaller compared to this time, and now Han was also joining in.
"Everyone, gather around me!" Minato, sensing the terrifying power within the Tailed Beast Balls, exclaimed as his face paled in fear. He quickly shouted, "I'll teleport us out of here!"
He could feel that the power of the black spheres was enough to instantly destroy Konoha. While he had immense faith in Jiraiya's abilities, he didn't think he could withstand these fearsome Tailed Beast Balls. Using the Flying Thunder God technique to dodge was the best option.
Mu Yue immediately moved to Minato's side. Although he could have run out of the attack range on his own, doing so would expose his true strength. It was better to hitch a ride.
Minato's two teammates, aware of his capabilities, swiftly moved closer to him, and several Konoha jonin were the last to arrive, but they managed to reach Minato just before the Tailed Beast Balls landed.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Minato quickly covered those around him with chakra and teleported them away.
Whoosh!
A thunderous explosion soared into the sky, and the moment the Tailed Beast Balls touched the ground, it began to fracture rapidly, forming an enormous crater.
The impact of the two Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Balls was so immense that even after Minato and the others had teleported away, they could still see the terrifyingly bright explosion and feel the slight tremors under their feet.
"Phew, are we already in the afterlife?" a dark-skinned, slightly chubby ninja blurted out.
"Obviously not," a black-haired ninja replied. "But if it weren't for Minato mastering the Flying Thunder God technique, we probably would have ended up in the afterlife."
Only by experiencing the Tailed Beast Balls firsthand could one truly understand the importance of Jinchuriki. He felt that if this attack were directed at Konoha's ninja camp, no barrier or defensive ninjutsu could withstand it.
Minato exhaled slowly, as this was his first time experiencing the full power of Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Balls, and the might was truly terrifying.
If his teleportation technique had failed just now, everyone would have perished under the Tailed Beast Balls.
"The power of the tailed beasts is truly frightening, and she has such a monster residing within her as well..." Because of Laozi's final words, Minato couldn't help but think of Kushina, far away in Konoha.
Konoha had been training Kushina specifically to unleash the power of the Nine-Tails.
"Thank you, Minato," Mu Yue said with a smile, expressing his gratitude.
Mu Yue's words snapped Minato out of his thoughts.
With a gentle smile, Minato replied, "Helping your companions in battle is only natural."
"I know you two are close, but now is not the time for catching up. The rest of you, return to safeguard the camp. Minato, teleport us back," Jiraiya said after pondering their tactics for a moment.
Once the Jinchuriki unleashed their full power, ordinary jonin would be of little use in the battle, and Minato would have to waste additional chakra using the Flying Thunder God technique to protect them. He intended to face the two Jinchuriki alongside the class he had personally taught and the two Jinchuriki.
"Jiraiya-sama, I think I can be of some assistance if I stay," Mu Yue volunteered.
He hadn't come just to witness the might of the Tailed Beast Balls and then leave.
"Mu Yue's strength far surpasses ours. We were able to win this battle thanks to him. He severely injured Iwa's Blast Release user, Han, and killed many Iwa ninjas," one of the Konoha jonin who had been fighting alongside Mu Yue quickly added, ensuring that Mu Yue's good intentions were understood.
"You defeated Han?" Jiraiya was somewhat surprised to hear that.
In Jiraiya's impression, Mu Yue was an ordinary special jonin who happened to be an excellent cook and had a decent talent for sealing techniques. But Han, a Blast Release user, was no easy opponent. Among the Leaf ninja at the front lines of the Grass Country, only he and Minato had the capability to defeat Han in single combat.
"He underestimated me. In reality, I'm only slightly stronger than him," Mu Yue humbly replied.
"I never expected you to possess such strength," Jiraiya said with a hearty laugh, patting Mu Yue's shoulder.
"Then let's do this together and show those two Jinchuriki the power of Konoha ninjas!"
Upon hearing of Mu Yue's achievements, Minato's expression was even more astonished than Jiraiya's. During the battle with the Jinchuriki, he had occasionally worried about Mu Yue, who was on a separate battlefield. But now, he realized that Mu Yue was incredibly strong, having defeated the Blast Release user.
"Mu Yue, take this Flying Thunder God kunai. You might need it," Minato said as he handed a kunai to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue didn't hesitate and graciously accepted it, thanking Minato.
"Get ready, everyone. We're going back," Minato warned, and ten seconds later, he used the Flying Thunder God technique.
Whoosh!
The scene before their eyes changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Yue and the others returned to the battlefield, standing at the edge of the crater while the two Jinchuriki remained where they had released the Tailed Beast Balls.
