Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Lord Hokage, the Eight-Tails' habitat should be just ahead, right?" Sarutobi Sasuke asked.

Although the Hokage doesn't actually fight, having him in the team makes you feel safe.

"Yes, it's just ahead."

This place is a wonderful habitat, with mountains, water, forests, and the sea.

Let alone eight-tailed creatures, this place is suitable for the survival of any animal; it is an incredibly fertile land.

It is comparable to the Land of Fire.

Hearing the conversation between the Hokage and his father, Hiruzen felt a surge of excitement; he was about to fight the Tailed Beasts!

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a tailed beast. He wondered how different it was from the one in the book.

Danzo remained as calm as ever, maintaining a cool head even as battle loomed ahead.

"Danzo, aren't you even a little bit excited?! We're about to see the Tailed Beasts!"

Hiruzen couldn't understand Danzo's excessive calmness.

Shouldn't people their age be full of passion? Why is Danzo always so cold?

"Whatever the tailed beasts are, they will eventually become weapons of Konoha. There's nothing to be surprised about."

"It was all in the bag after all," Danzo said calmly.

Danzo always found Hiruzen's excessive hot-bloodedness a headache.

But this is also Hiruzen's shining point. Danzo rarely saw Hiruzen in a depressed state; he was always full of passion.

Hashirama, who was in front, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the two children talking. Although the two had different personalities, what they said was correct.

At that moment! Three enormous octopus tentacles attacked from behind the mountain without any warning or sound!

It was as if it appeared out of thin air, and when they found it, it was already less than fifty meters away from them!

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet Technique!" Sarutobi Sasuke unleashed a burst of flames, and the enormous fireball instantly sizzled and burned the octopus tentacles!

They shrank back in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, Danzo, Hiruzen, and Akimichi Torifu launched an attack on the other octopus tentacle.

The remaining one will be dealt with by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!" Bullet-like gusts of wind erupted from Danzo's mouth, sweeping across the octopus tentacles like bullets.

However, the octopus's tentacles are thick-skinned and tough, so this attack had no effect at all; a single sweeping motion neutralized the Vacuum Jade.

But this attack seemed to enrage it, and it suddenly lunged at Danzo.

"Multiply Technique!" Akimichi Torifu transformed into a small giant, gripping the octopus tentacles tightly, but his strength was insufficient to contend with the tailed beast!

Even so, they managed to hold off the octopus for a moment!

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!" "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Hiruzen unleashed a ferocious fire dragon, while Danzo continuously spat out multiple wind blades that slashed at the octopus's tentacles.

The octopus tentacles, already somewhat shriveled from being scorched by the fire dragon, were cleaved open in countless places by Danzo's wind blades.

He recoiled in pain.

At that moment, a huge, thick, purple arm clung to a mountain! Then, a giant bull's head emerged from the mountain!

Sarutobi Sasuke sneered, "Hmph, I've finally found you, Eight-Tails!"

Without uttering a word, the Eight-Tails launched its attack! It spewed forth a torrent of ink, like ocean waves, towards the group!

The mountain walls on both sides blocked the spread of the ink, which rushed straight towards the people of Konoha!

"Earth Escape! Earth Current City Wall!"

Chapter 66 Choosing a Good Opponent

"Earth Escape! Earth Current City Wall!"

The ground rumbled and groaned, and then an incredibly thick earthen wall rose up from it, surrounding the people of Konoha.

The ink splashed against the earthen wall, producing a loud noise, but the wall remained completely still, without even a crack appearing.

"Haha, not bad, Sasuke. Looks like you haven't been slacking off." Hashirama teased from the side.

Sarutobi Sasuke laughed and said, "We must continue to contribute to the village; we can't let others look down on the Sarutobi clan."

He then slammed his hand on the ground: "Earth Release - Ascension Technique!"

The ground beneath their feet slowly rose upwards, soon surpassing the height of the earthen wall.

At this moment, the people of Konoha and the Eight-Tails were facing off from a distance, and no one dared to make a move rashly.

But in the end, the Eight-Tails couldn't hold back any longer and charged towards the group, using both its hands and feet.

Immediately, eight octopus-like tails shot out, attacking Sarutobi Sasuke.

"Spiritual summoning!" After a puff of white smoke dissipated, a burly ape appeared on the earthen platform.

"Sasuke, it seems you've encountered a formidable enemy." Enma's voice was deep and imposing.

"No time for words, we're about to go!"

At that moment, the ape demon also saw the eight tentacles flying towards it.

It roared at the Eight-Tails! Then it transformed into a large black club with eyes on it!

Sarutobi Sasuke swung the black club with all his might! The club instantly became thicker and larger than the Eight-Tails' tail!

It knocked back all eight tails in one go.

Then it leaped high into the air! Moving nimbly between the various hilltops like a monkey.

Not far from the Eight-Tails, the black rod grew enormous again! At the same time, it slammed into the Eight-Tails' head!

The tremors echoed throughout the entire valley!

Even if the tailed beasts are tough and resilient, they would definitely not feel good after taking this hit. At this moment, the Eight-Tails staggered backward.

The blow to the head really stunned him!

The others seized the opportunity and immediately launched an attack on the Eight-Tails! Various ninjutsu were randomly thrown at the Eight-Tails.

It was indeed injured, and some wounds appeared on its body.

However, the tailed beasts have an exceptional ability to withstand attacks, and the Eight-Tails recovered in just a few minutes.

And once the situation was restored, they immediately launched their retaliation!

Red and blue chakra gathered in his mouth! A black sphere slowly took shape!

Seeing this, Sarutobi Sasuke's expression also turned serious. This was the strongest attack of the Tailed Beast! He had to go all out.

Sarutobi Sasuke reverted Enma to its original form to directly attack the Eight-Tails' main body, while his own hand seals moved at lightning speed!

"Earth Release - Earth Dragon Technique, Fire Release - Fire Dragon Bullet Technique, Wind Release - Gale Slash!"

Three ninjutsu techniques were unleashed in an instant!

A gigantic earthen dragon rose from the ground and climbed and spread along the continuous mountain range.

A fire dragon coiled around its body! Even the stray sparks ignited a raging inferno across the surrounding mountains!

Then a powerful gust of wind blew from behind!

The wind fanned the flames! This storm caused the entire fire dragon to burn to twice its size, with flames shooting into the sky as dazzling as the sun!

But at that moment, the Tailed Beast Ball formed by the Eight-Tails burst forth! Everything in its path, from rocks to trees, turned to dust!

It left behind an empty track!

The Earth and Fire Dragons collided with the Tailed Beast Ball, creating a massive explosion, but even so, the Earth and Fire Dragons remained standing.

It was not easily defeated by the Tailed Beast Ball, but rather it was evenly matched.

The two dragons circled the Tailed Beast Ball again and again, finally biting into its surface!

An apocalyptic explosion occurred immediately! Everyone's eyes and ears seemed to disappear in that instant.

Unable to hear or see, and if it weren't for the scorching wind blowing on their faces, they would have thought they were dead.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the attack; however, some ninjas had their bones broken by the falling rocks and lost their ability to fight.

"As expected of the Tailed Beast Ball, my ninjutsu could barely withstand it." Sarutobi Sasuke gritted his teeth fiercely.

At first, he really underestimated the Tailed Beasts; just resisting one Tailed Beast Ball consumed a lot of his chakra.

If ten or twenty more came, he might not be able to stop them.

Hiruzen, Danzo, and the others could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, and seize the opportunity to unleash one or two ninjutsu during the gaps in the Eight-Tails' attacks.

But they were completely unable to intervene in a battle of this caliber.

"Don't be discouraged, kids, you're just tender sprouts."

Hashirama noticed that Hiruzen, who was full of passion, was clearly in a low mood, so he offered some words of encouragement.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

"That's good."

But just as Hashirama was talking to the children, a Tailed Beast Ball seemed to veer off course and flew straight toward him!

"Oh? Are you aiming at me?"

Hiruzen and Danzo rushed to protect Hashirama upon seeing this, but were laughed at and pushed aside.

"You really know how to pick your opponent, Eight-Tails!"

Hashirama leaped into the air: "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!" Immediately, a wooden giant with a mouthful of fangs appeared in the valley!

Hashirama manipulated the wooden doll and caught the Tailed Beast Ball flying towards him with his bare hands!

He then took two large leaps to the front of the Eight-Tails and slammed the Tailed Beast Ball into its body! Then he immediately jumped away from the Eight-Tails.

An explosion rang out, interspersed with the wail of the Eight-Tails, who used Tailed Beast Balls to attack others year-round.

This was the first time it had been hit by a Tailed Beast Ball, and it was even grabbed by someone with their bare hands and shoved into its body!
