Chapter 754: Four-Tails: I've Become a Spring!
Chapter 754: Four-Tails: I've Become a Spring!
Kusanagi Sword! The very same sword that was offered by Orochimaru during their previous trade.
Tang Ping himself didn't need a sword, as his 'Amenomurakumo Sword' was stronger than any divine weapon, so he was acquiring it for his disciples.
As a teacher, it was only natural to provide some gifts to his students.
The Kusanagi Sword was an excellent choice.
After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, Tsukimi's self-preservation abilities were comparable to a Hyper Shadow, but her offensive power was lacking. Therefore, she needed a weapon to compensate for this weakness.
A divine weapon could make up for this aspect.
Old Purple became the 'victim'.
Even though his body was as tough as granite, facing the Kusanagi Sword's concentrated attacks, he was still severely injured.
Unable to break through his defenses with a single strike, he needed to focus multiple strikes on a single spot.
Fortunately for Old Purple, Tsukimi was in motion and instinctively dodged, resulting in only a severed half-leg, with the rest of the slashes missing their mark.
"Old Purple!!"
Daimoku in the sky was engaged in combat with Houshi Yamazaka, but his attention remained fixed on the ground. Upon witnessing this situation, he became furious.
Unfortunately, even if he wanted to provide assistance, it was impossible.
"I'll take over your fight!"
Houshi Yamazaka's power armor released flames as he charged at full speed.
The power armor itself was capable of aerial combat and wasn't slower than Daimoku, allowing Houshi Yamazaka to engage him.
Even if Daimoku attempted to use Dust Style techniques, Houshi Yamazaka could disrupt or interrupt him.
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing Houshi Yamazaka flying towards him, Daimoku had no choice but to abandon his support. If he ignored his opponent, he might also be in danger.
However, just because Daimoku couldn't act didn't mean the other Rock Ninja wouldn't.
"Go and support Elder Purple!"
"Kill!"
"We must not let the Four-Tails fall into the hands of the Skyguard Tower!"
...
Voices echoed among the Rock Ninja, and many of them turned to rush back.
Old Purple was not only a Rock Ninja but also held the crucial status of a Jinchuriki.
The Tailed Beast was a strategic weapon for a village, and they couldn't allow it to fall into enemy hands. For this reason alone, the Rock Ninja couldn't abandon Old Purple.
Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions reverberated.
The pursuing Skyguard Tower forces were unexpectedly overwhelmed by the opposing side.
However, it wasn't due to their weakness; this unit was the Rock Ninja's ace.
The Explosive Team!
Similar to Sunagakure's Puppet Squad.
This team was composed of elite members, and both their combat experience and strength were top-notch. There were more than ten Jonin among them.
Although the number was less than two hundred, the Explosive Team's offensive power surpassed that of two thousand men.
As the Explosive Team charged towards them, Tsukimi calmly declared, "Even if there are more people coming to rescue you, you won't be able to leave alive!"
She had marked this prey for death.
Additionally, defeating this Explosive Team would deal a heavy blow to the Rock Hidden Village.
Despite their small numbers, this team gathered many of the Rock Ninja's elite and geniuses. If they were truly eliminated, it would significantly weaken the Rock Ninja's future.
As for how to kill them?
Of course, it wouldn't be by sheer numbers.
Although they weren't afraid of sacrifices, they couldn't disregard human lives.
She alone would suffice.
"I never expected that you would awaken these eyes!"
Old Purple seemed unaware of his injuries and severed leg, his gaze fixed on Tsukimi's dual pupils.
Even if he couldn't detect it, the Four-Tails within him was frantically warning him.
Tailed Beasts were like mice before cats when it came to the Mangekyo Sharingan; they were incredibly sensitive. Thus, the Four-Tails had immediately noticed when Tsukimi first used the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"As a disciple of Tang Ping, what's so surprising about me awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Tsukimi retorted.
Her teacher was the renowned 'Purifying Flame', undefeated across the Shinobi World. As his disciple, it was only natural for her to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and it wasn't something to be astonished about.
Upon hearing this, Old Purple's facial muscles twitched, unsure of how to respond.
When had the Mangekyo Sharingan become so common?
"Your strength is indeed formidable, but your only mistake is giving me time to prepare. Tailed Beast Mode!"
Old Purple's expression suddenly changed.
Yes, just now, he honestly stayed in place and conversed with Spring, completely to manage his injuries and prepare for Tailed Beast Mode.
Old Purple's body rapidly expanded, quickly transforming into a four-tailed, several-dozen-meter-tall red ape.
Four-Tailed Sun Wukong!
Aside from everything else, just the name of the opponent made people want to vomit from the endless complaints.
"I did give you time, but how do you know this isn't a trap?"
Spring retorted.
Indeed, instead of seizing the opportunity to attack while the opponent was injured, she allowed him to manage his injuries and transform into Tailed Beast Mode, naturally intending to resolve the situation.
If it were in human form, resolving the situation wouldn't be so easy.
But if he transformed, it would be a different story.
Whoosh!
First, several chains broke through the ground, emerging from beneath and wrapping around the newly transformed Four-Tailed Beast.
Bang! Bang!
Even with all its might, these chains, as thick as eggs, were indestructible, and the mountain-like ape couldn't break free.
Vajra Seal!
This technique had a special bonus against large targets or Tailed Beasts.
So, even though Kaen was just a Jonin, once the chains bound the Four-Tailed Beast, it couldn't break free.
Like Uzumaki Kushina, who, after giving birth, could use the Vajra Seal to bind the complete Nine-Tailed Beast, this technique's effect on Tailed Beasts was evident.
In other words, letting Old Purple transform into a Tailed Beast was Spring's goal.
"Damn you, Uzumaki!"
Old Purple roared furiously, but there was nothing he could do to Kaen.
If it were a ninja being bound, they might have a chance to break free, but when it's a Tailed Beast, there's no way to escape the bindings.
Whoosh! Spring jumped onto the nose of the bound Four-Tailed Beast, staring into its eyes.
Inside the Tailed Beast, Old Purple also saw Spring's dual pupils through Sun Wukong's eyes.
The intricate, petal-like Mangekyo Sharingan slowly rotated.
"Old Purple, don't look into her eyes!"
Sun Wukong hurriedly reminded.
If it were before the transformation, he might have found a way to break the illusion and wake Old Purple.
But after the transformation, both were nearly fused into one, and the illusion controlled them both, leaving no chance for mutual reminders.
This was why Jinchuriki weren't too afraid of illusions before the transformation, but feared them afterward.
However, Sun Wukong's reminder had come a little too late.
Although Old Purple realized something was wrong and prepared to break free from Tailed Beast Mode, he hadn't even moved before stopping.
Because the dual pupils had slowly transformed into the shape of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
During the Konoha Nine-Tailed Incident, everyone trusted Fukuzawa when he took action against Uchiha, precisely because the Mangekyo Sharingan was incredibly effective against Tailed Beasts.
For example, at that moment!
On the battlefield, after Spring stood on the Four-Tailed Beast's nose for several seconds, the giant Tailed Beast's pupils also transformed into the shape of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The chains controlling the Four-Tailed Beast were also retracted by Kaen.
Control the Tailed Beast!
That was what Spring intended to do.
Buzz!
After the Four-Tailed Beast broke free, it immediately turned around and opened its mouth wide.
Lavender-purple dual-colored chakra began to gather.
Tailed Beast Ball!
On the battlefield, in terms of destructive power, the Tailed Beast Ball was undoubtedly the most powerful.
Spring herself wasn't skilled in large-scale destruction, which was why she targeted the Four-Tailed Beast.
With her terrifyingly proficient illusion techniques, controlling the Tailed Beast was not a problem.
Even the Nine-Tailed Beast could be controlled by the Byakugan Wolf, and although he had Hidan's guidance, there was no reason Spring couldn't do it better.
She would only do it better!
The Rock Ninja had no idea they would be 'shelled' by their own Tailed Beast, so they had no time to react.
The only one who could have stopped them, Daimoku, didn't have a chance, as Yamazaka Houshi didn't give him any opportunity to use Dust Style.
Thus, the Tailed Beast Ball was naturally launched without hindrance.
Boom!!!
A colossal explosion shook the battlefield.
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, illuminating the battleground.
The destructive Tailed Beast Ball, in just one strike, instantly shredded a vast area, causing destruction akin to the Shatterstar Spear.
Any ninja within the blast radius of the Tailed Beast Ball, unless they had a special self-protection method, had no chance of survival.
Even a kilometer away, one would need luck to survive.
