"Tailed Beasts! It's Tailed Beasts!"
"Both Tailed Beasts have appeared!"
"Everyone, quick, get out of the way!"
Upon seeing the Tailed Beasts appear, the Konoha Ninja immediately fell into a panic.
Meanwhile, Ichibi, hearing the noisy Konoha Ninja below, looked displeased.
"Damn ants, how dare you disturb this great one! All of you, die!" With that, Ichibi swung its tail towards the Konoha Ninja.
The Konoha Ninja who were closer had no time to dodge and dozens of them were instantly killed.
"How crude," the Five-Tails Son Goku said after glancing at Ichibi.
Ichibi was about to retort when it heard the Five-Tails' words, but then saw the Five-Tails charge wildly towards the Konoha Ninja, crushing an unknown number of them under its feet.
Facing two Tailed Beasts, the Konoha Ninja were completely helpless.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru, however, showed no signs of panic.
"That Ōnoki really let the Tailed Beasts out!" Jiraiya exclaimed.
"Isn't this perfect? We can also witness the Nine-Tails' power. Kushina, you can handle this, right?" Orochimaru asked, licking his lips excitedly, looking behind him.
"No problem, leave it to me!" With that, a red-haired woman appeared before them.
This was Konoha's trump card for the Battle of Mount Kikyo: the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had not left the Village since the Third Great Ninja War, was finally entering the fray!
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina was initially filled with fear for the Nine-Tails.
Especially before inheriting the Nine-Tails from Uzumaki Mito, Kushina was filled with unease.
Until Uzumaki Mito told Kushina: "We are brought here as vessels for the Tailed Beasts, but before that, we must find love to fill it. That way, even if you live as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, you can still find happiness."
Later, Kushina also met her fated one, Minato Namikaze.
With Minato Namikaze's support, Kushina slowly let go of her fear of the Nine-Tails and began to confront its existence.
Minato Namikaze gave Kushina courage, allowing her to start trying to connect with the Nine-Tails.
Furthermore, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Kushina's bloodline was much purer than Naruto's. The current Kushina could already control the power of six Nine-Tailed tails, and with full effort, she could control seven tails for a short period.
Kushina glanced at the two rampaging Tailed Beasts, her expression appearing very calm.
Compared to the Nine-Tails, Ichibi and the Five-Tails were far too inferior.
The next second, red Tailed Beast Chakra appeared on Kushina's body. Soon, a tail appeared behind her, her pupils turned red, and black whiskers appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
As the Nine-Tails Chakra increased, more and more tails appeared behind Kushina, eventually stopping at seven tails.
Everyone on the battlefield was stunned by Kushina's transformation. Everyone could feel the vast, ocean-like Chakra emanating from Kushina.
As fellow Tailed Beasts, and Ichibi having the worst relationship with the Nine-Tails, it was the first to sense the Nine-Tails' power.
The Five-Tails naturally also sensed the Nine-Tails' presence.
She said with some panic, "Nine-Tails! This is the Nine-Tails' Chakra!"
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han heard the Five-Tails' voice so panicked for the first time. Was the Five-Tails afraid? Could a fellow Tailed Beast actually be afraid of the Nine-Tails?
Soon, Han understood why the Five-Tails was so fearful of the Nine-Tails' power, because Ichibi was the first to attack Kushina!
"Stupid fox!" Ichibi roared after sensing the Nine-Tails' Chakra, and fired a Tailed Beast Ball at Kushina.
Facing the Tailed Beast Ball's assault, Kushina instinctively wanted to dodge.
But she heard the Nine-Tails' voice from within her: "Since you're using this great one's power, don't back down when facing this stinky raccoon dog."
As soon as the Nine-Tails finished speaking, Kushina's seven tails instantly elongated, directly wrapping around Ichibi's Tailed Beast Ball and crushing it.
Witnessing this scene, the battlefield instantly fell silent. Only then did Han understand why the Five-Tails was so fearful of the Nine-Tails.
In the original work, half of the Nine-Tails was able to defeat five fully formed Tailed Beasts, making the Eight-Tails praise the Nine-Tails' strength.
Now, Kushina possessed the complete Nine-Tails within her. Although Kushina could only use the power of seven tails, this power was still unmatched by other Tailed Beasts.
However, Kushina's current state was not good.
She was already a bit strained activating the Seven-Tails state, and just now, the Nine-Tails had bypassed Kushina to manipulate its Chakra and crush Ichibi's Tailed Beast Ball, an action that amplified the Nine-Tails' negative emotions.
Kushina had a premonition that she could only control this power for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, her body would not be able to withstand it, and the negative emotions in the Nine-Tails' Chakra had already begun to erode Kushina's consciousness. If she exceeded 2 minutes, the ownership of her body might even become an issue, so she had to finish the fight quickly.
Thinking of this, Kushina's gaze fell upon Shukaku and the Five-Tails.
What could be done in two minutes?
Peeling an apple takes two minutes, picking up a delivery downstairs takes two minutes, and for some, two minutes is enough for... other activities.
But Kushina used those short two minutes to defeat two Tailed Beasts.
Kushina made no unnecessary movements, choosing the simplest and most brutal close-quarters combat.
Under the protection of the Nine-Tails Chakra, she charged towards the Five-Tails, leaping high and kicking the Five-Tails' head.
The Five-Tails' massive body had no time to dodge Kushina's attack and was sent flying by the kick.
Seeing this, Shukaku charged directly at Kushina. Mount Kikyo was considered Shukaku's home ground, and Shukaku didn't believe it would lose to this stinky fox on its home turf!
Facing Shukaku's attack, Kushina disdainfully curled her lips. Although the strength of Tailed Beasts couldn't be directly judged by the number of tails.
Shukaku, however, had a significant gap in both Chakra reserves and other aspects compared to the Nine-Tails.
Kushina directly manipulated one of her tails to extend, like the Chakra chains of the Gedo Statue in the original work, wrapping around Shukaku's neck. Another tail swung at Shukaku, instantly shattering half of Shukaku's body.
This was a desert, so even if Shukaku's body was blown apart, it could regenerate using sand.
But Shukaku was stunned by Kushina's attack; even when the Nine-Tails had beaten it before, it hadn't been this fierce.
Kushina swung her tail, throwing the dazed Shukaku at the Five-Tails, who had just gotten back up.
The Five-Tails was sent flying again, and Shukaku's Tailed Beast transformation had already been dispelled, leaving only the unconscious Shukaku Jinchuriki, Bunpuku.
The previously arrogant Shukaku was instantly dealt with.
The remaining Five-Tails had no power to fight back against Kushina.
However, even a clay figure has a temper! Not to mention a Tailed Beast. The Five-Tails, being pummeled by Kushina, used all its strength to condense a massive Tailed Beast Ball and fired it at Kushina.
Facing the Five-Tails' full-power Tailed Beast Ball, Kushina, though fearless, still had to handle it carefully.
As Minato Namikaze's wife, Kushina was also very familiar with the Rasengan, a Ninjutsu created by Minato Namikaze himself.
And the Rasengan itself was developed with the Tailed Beast Ball as its inspiration.
Kushina stacked her seven tails together, and a blue Chakra sphere appeared on the tails.
Then the blue Chakra sphere slowly grew larger, and its color simultaneously turned black, clearly indicating that Nine-Tails Chakra had been infused into the Rasengan.
Kushina hurled this black Chakra sphere, which was much smaller than the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
The Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball and the Rasengan infused with Nine-Tails Chakra collided in mid-air.
Based on size, the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball should have won, but the result shocked everyone.
Kushina's Rasengan, infused with Nine-Tails Chakra, directly pierced through the Five-Tails' massive Tailed Beast Ball. The Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball exploded midway, but Kushina's Rasengan continued its unstoppable trajectory towards the Five-Tails.
The Five-Tails clearly didn't expect its Tailed Beast Ball to be shattered and had no time to dodge, getting hit head-on by the Tailed Beast Ball containing Nine-Tails Chakra.
In the original work, a Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball explosion could flatten a mountain.
Kushina's Rasengan wasn't a Tailed Beast Ball, but it was infused with Nine-Tails Chakra. The consequences of the Five-Tails being hit head-on were imaginable.
After the explosion, the Five-Tails was scorched all over, and two of its tails were blown off.
