"I... I can't go on…"
Under the influence of the Nine-Tailed Chakra, Ninja from the Seal Squad fell one after another.
Although someone would immediately take their place, the Seal still developed many problems uncontrollably.
The overflowing Chakra had gradually gathered into a gigantic blood-red figure.
"Adamantine Chains!"
Uzumaki Mito's body suddenly shot out several golden chains, firmly controlling the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
However, Uzumaki Mito's already weakened aura rapidly declined once again.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Hurry up!"
"Yes!"
It wasn't until dawn that Uzumaki Mito lost her last breath of life, and the Nine-Tailed was completely Sealed inside Minato Namikaze's body.
Everyone present wiped the sweat from their faces.
The Nine-Tailed's power was far more ferocious than they had imagined.
This time, if not for Uzumaki Mito's desperate suppression, a huge problem might have arisen.
"Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest."
"Yes, Third Hokage-sama."
With the Nine-Tailed successfully Sealed, everyone got up, preparing to leave.
But the next second, a Ninja from the Seal Squad coughed up blood, an expression of disbelief in her eyes.
Looking down, her chest had been pierced by a beast-like claw.
"Oh no, Minato has lost control!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi tore off his Hokage Robe, revealing his lean and capable body.
The Anbu, who had been on constant guard, immediately shielded Hiruzen Sarutobi behind them.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's eyes had turned into red vertical pupils, and terrifying Chakra continuously emanated and condensed from his body… In just a moment, the gigantic body of the Nine-Tailed appeared before everyone.
"Roar!"
Letting out a long roar to the sky, the Nine-Tailed swung its huge claw and slammed it heavily onto the ground, which instantly became covered in dense, spiderweb-like cracks.
"Finally, I'm out…"
"You damned humans!"
How many years had it been? It had finally seen the light of day again.
Originally, it lived a leisurely life in the forest, but then two bastards said something like, "You're too dangerous," and "You must be Sealed," and without a word, they gave it a good beating.
Finally, to utilize its power, they Sealed it away.
Hmph!
Konoha Village, huh?
Today, I will raze this Village to the ground!
The more it thought about it, the angrier it got, and the Nine-Tailed swiped a claw at the Ninja on the ground, who were like ants.
Instantly, several Ninja who couldn't dodge in time were flattened into a bloody mess.
"Summoning Jutsu: Enma!"
Enma, summoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at the rampaging Nine-Tailed and exclaimed, "Hiruzen, what happened?"
"No time to explain." Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Transformation: Adamantine Staff!"
After pushing the Nine-Tailed back several hundred meters with a single strike, the Barrier Squad, who had long been prepared, immediately erected a Barrier, trapping the Nine-Tailed inside.
The Nine-Tailed's massive body violently slammed against the Barrier, making the entire Barrier totter, but ultimately, it failed to break through.
"Damned humans, you won't trap me again!"
The Nine-Tailed raised its head, and a large amount of Chakra condensed in front of it, forming a small Tailed Beast Ball.
Boom!
Under the Nine-Tailed's control, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded instantly, and the sturdy Barrier was immediately shattered into pieces.
Most of the Barrier Squad members responsible for casting the Barrier were also killed or severely injured in the violent explosion.
"Damn it!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected the Nine-Tailed to be so troublesome; even with thorough preparations, it still managed to escape the Barrier.
"Go, stop the Nine-Tailed, protect the Village!"
At Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, Anbu Ninja immediately charged towards the Nine-Tailed.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"…"
Countless Ninjutsu attacked the Nine-Tailed, but they had no effect, only making the Nine-Tailed even angrier.
With a swing of its claws, the Anbu Ninja suffered heavy casualties.
Just then, an extremely dazzling sword light flashed by.
Sakumo Hatake appeared before the Nine-Tailed, continuously slashing at its body.
Unfortunately, even though his sword techniques were famous for one-hit kills, they had no effect on the Nine-Tailed.
Even wounds left with all his might would heal in just a few seconds under the Nine-Tailed's terrifying regenerative abilities.
Under high-intensity combat, in less than ten minutes, Sakumo Hatake felt exhausted.
"Sakumo, retreat!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, his hands beginning to form hand signs: "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Four Clone appeared, and Hiruzen Sarutobi plunged the Adamantine Staff into the ground, simultaneously forming hand signs with the four Clone: "Ninja Art: Five Element Great Combo!"
The Ninjutsu of wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth attributes combined into a powerful combo technique, instantly engulfing the Nine-Tailed's massive body.
"As expected of Hokage-sama, he's incredible!"
"We must win this time, even the Nine-Tailed can't withstand such an attack, right?"
"This power, truly worthy of the strongest Hokage."
The combination Ninjutsu released by Hiruzen Sarutobi ignited hope in the hearts of everyone present, and they all began to praise him.
But the next second, a giant claw burst out of the swirling dust.
Boom!
The claw slammed down, instantly causing dozens more deaths.
"Is this the current Hokage? Compared to that bastard from back then, you're far too inferior."
"Tonight, no one can stop me!"
At the same time, reinforcements from various Ninja clans also arrived.
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, a large number of elite Ninja were thrown into the battle against the Nine-Tailed.
Although the Nine-Tailed was furious, it couldn't kill everyone all at once.
Just as the battle grew fiercer, a mysterious figure wearing a black robe and a spiral mask suddenly appeared on the Nine-Tailed's shoulder.
"You're too foolish, Nine-Tailed."
"If this continues, you'll be re-Sealed after exhausting all your energy in no time."
"Besides killing some insignificant Konoha Ninja, nothing will change."
Looking at the human who suddenly appeared on its body, the Nine-Tailed turned its head, its vertical pupils filled with icy coldness.
It didn't act immediately, because it saw a pair of eerily crimson eyes.
Eyes that were very similar to the person who had brought it endless humiliation back then!
The Nine-Tailed said with some apprehension, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I'm just someone whose goal aligns with yours right now." The man in the spiral mask responded calmly, then raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Konoha Village.
"Use the remaining Chakra in your body, use a Tailed Beast Ball to bomb Konoha Village."
"Ninja will dodge, but those buildings won't."
The Nine-Tailed looked at the man in the spiral mask on its shoulder and asked curiously, "Humans would actually choose to help a Tailed Beast, do you hate them that much?"
"Hate?" The man in the spiral mask shook his head, "Rather than hate, it's more like they just don't quite suit my taste."
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha… Interesting, then I'll grant your wish this time."
A Tailed Beast's Chakra was not inexhaustible; it was merely an illusion created by a massive amount of Chakra combined with extremely fast recovery speed.
After continuous high-intensity combat, even a Tailed Beast needed some time to recover Chakra, stamina, and energy… Coupled with the suppression of the Sealing Jutsu, the time it could hold on was indeed limited.
