Chapter 238 The Nine-Tailed Fox That Never Returns (12)

"boom!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, a mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The moment the Nine-Tailed Beast Ball landed, it obliterated the ground, creating a semi-circle.

The violent shaking was so intense that even the three of them, including Izumi, could not stand steadily.

He plopped down on the ground, blood seeping from his abdominal wound again. Yuki, standing nearby, had to use medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding once more.

"Is this the strongest battle in the ninja world? It's simply... unbelievable..."

Ignoring his injuries, Daitake kept his eyes fixed on the distant battlefield.

"Bang."

Yuki tapped him on the forehead: "Although it didn't puncture any internal organs, you'd better be careful if you don't want to die from blood loss."

At that moment, black flames burst forth.

Yuki frowned and was about to extinguish it when Izumi stopped her and took the two away from the black fire.

"That's the Sharingan's eye technique, Amaterasu. This black flame has the characteristic of never going out until it turns its target to ashes. Water, earth, and coverings have no effect."

As he spoke, Quan took out a sealed scroll.

Fire Sealing Seal!

The black flames were sealed by the scroll, and an opening appeared.

"Get out of here immediately. This battle is beyond our control now."

With that, Izumi and Yuki helped Otake up and quickly left the area.

……

At this moment, after the Tailed Beast Ball landed, both sides stopped.

Beside Obito, the black and white Zetsu slowly rose from the ground.

"That was terrifying! I almost died just now. I didn't even know what the urge to poop was. It would have been such a waste if I had been killed..."

No one paid any attention to White Zetsu's complaints.

Black Zetsu, attached to half of his body, spoke up, "You seem to have been prepared all along? It seems you value familial bonds very much... Uchiha Yun."

Yun's gaze narrowed slightly.

The two guys opposite, no, if you include White Zetsu, there should be three guys.

Although these three are not as strong as him, their special abilities and characteristics make them very difficult to kill.

A kind of passive, ethereal quality.

An embodiment of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, and as a product of Yin-Yang Release, it cannot be trapped unless one reaches the Six Paths level.

"For over a year, your Akatsuki organization has been lying low. Now you want to attack Izumi and frame the Four Great Ninja Villages."

Yun looked across at the other side and said, "Is the purpose because of what I said last time? To let me know the darkness of this world?"

"But after this, if Izumi gets into trouble, who do you think will be the first person I think of?"

Obito and Black Zetsu exchanged a glance, both realizing that their plan had completely failed.

Once the frame-up is discovered by the target, then no matter what happens afterward, Uchiha Yun's first suspects will inevitably be them.

Give up?

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment.

Within the Akatsuki organization, Sora Uzumaki's influence is now extending further and further.

Even Nagato's attitude has become increasingly subtle. The plan Madara made before his death has deviated far too far from its original purpose.

Although there are other preparations, doing so would also involve too much uncertainty.

"Uchiha Kumo, our target is indeed you. But we're doing this so you can see the true nature of this world."

Black Zetsu continued, "Uchiha Izumi will not die, and even your long-deceased father will be resurrected in the ideal world."

"In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, there is no hatred, no war, no pain, and no regrets. Everyone can fulfill their wishes and live a wonderful life."

"This is the Sage of Six Paths' interpretation of true peace. The stone tablet beneath the Naka Shrine records everything about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. With your Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you should be able to see everything written on the stone tablet."

Black Zetsu's voice fell.

Just as he was about to say something, a crimson figure landed on Yun's shoulder.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, its nine tails swishing behind it, looked at Black Zetsu opposite it with disdain and said, "The old man also left behind a method for ultimate peace? Infinite Tsukuyomi? What the hell is that?"

Yun smiled and replied, "It's an ultimate, large-scale illusion, using the power of the Ten-Tails to transform into a divine tree, dragging everyone in the entire world into the illusion."

"In this world of debauchery, everyone can get what they want in their own dream. The dead will be resurrected, and enemies will be destroyed. Of course, all of this is just a dream."

Ten-Tails? ???

The Nine-Tails didn't hear anything after that, but it heard the opening line about using the power of the Ten-Tails very clearly!

Revive the Ten-Tails? With what?

Of course, we need to use the chakra of all nine tailed beasts!

Unfortunately, he possesses the largest amount of chakra among the tailed beasts, even if it's only half of his body, it's more than the others.

This is... a suicide attempt!

"Damn it!!"

In an instant, the little nine-tailed fox's fur stood on end!

The nine tails behind him bristled, and his vertical pupils looked at Yun with tense eyes: "Boss, don't listen to these two idiots! They...they definitely have a conspiracy!"

"Yes! It's a conspiracy. The old man created the Ninshu sect, which always believed in love and peace. Even chakra was initially taught to build trust between people."

"How could there be any claim that the whole world could be dragged into an illusion? This is all their conspiracy. Boss Yun, you are wise and powerful, don't be fooled by them!"

With that, Kurama glared at the other side again and roared, "What kind of conspiracy are you two idiots plotting? Watch me chop you to pieces with my two big Kabutos!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little nine-tailed fox charged forward in an instant.

"roar!!"

A roar rang out, and the little nine-tailed fox's body grew larger in the next moment.

"boom!!"

A pair of sharp claws slammed down, and the ground shook instantly.

However, Obito with the mask didn't even move; the ground was simply smashed into pieces.

Zetsu, who had sunk to the ground, rose again beside him: "The tailed beasts created by the Sage of Six Paths were originally prepared for this true peace. Do not be angry, for this is your destiny..."

"Screw your fate!"

Enraged by its foul language, the Nine-Tailed Fox slammed down with its claws, cracking another patch of ground.

However, Black and White rose up again from another place.

In an instant, Kurama's body began to emanate a massive amount of chakra.

"Buzz..."

The chakra in the air rapidly condensed, and the Tailed Beast Ball took shape.

The Tailed Beast Balls continued to fly towards Zetsu's location.

"Boom boom boom..."

The ground began to shake, large swathes of forest were completely wiped out, and several circular pits appeared.

At this moment, Masked Obito spoke up, "Ku-Tails, even with your power, you are insignificant in this conversation. Quiet down..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the kaleidoscope under the mask slowly began to rotate.

In an instant, the enraged Nine-Tails was forcibly stopped.

The fox's vertical pupils had now transformed into Obito's kaleidoscope-like shape.

The Nine-Tails, which was under control, remained quietly in place.

However, Uchiha Yun retorted with dissatisfaction, "Although this guy often causes trouble at home, and as his underling doesn't even call me boss... he's still not someone you can control!"

The next moment, the cloud vanished from its spot.

It then appeared above the Nine-Tails' head and pressed down with one hand.

The secret scroll has been deciphered!

The power of the rules instantly disrupted Obito's control, and Kurama's pupils returned to normal.

The cloud standing atop the nine-tailed fox patted its head: "Don't worry. That kind of dreamlike peace isn't what I want."

Then, the Nine-Tailed Fox slowly shrank in size and swiftly returned to Yun's shoulder.

He stretched out a claw and pointed it directly at Obito opposite him: "Boss, kill him!"

Yun's eye twitched, and she rubbed her temples. "You seem to have learned all this on your own. You're becoming more and more like a street urchin."

The Nine-Tails pouted, looking aggrieved: "As the leader, how can I let my little brother be bullied? Let's use our Susanoo and the two of us, Kabuto, blast them to death!"

"Bang."

He reached out and tapped the little nine-tailed fox on the forehead, making it cover its forehead and quiet down.

Then Yun looked at the other side and said, "Although we really can't keep you here, Nine-Tailed Fox's words have their reasons. As the leader, if your underlings are beaten, you have to fight back. That's the way of the world."

The next moment, the black Amaterasu flames rose up once more.

Obito, however, remained unmoved at the center of the flames, showing no sign of being burned.

"call……"

After sighing, Masked Obito looked at Zetsu not far away and said, "Although I hate to admit it, our plan has indeed failed."

"Ever since the Chunin Exams, which were held in conjunction with the Five Great Shinobi Villages, this guy has been on guard against anyone targeting Uchiha Izumi. Whether it's the other four villages or us, it's the same."

Bai Jue looked around: "So fighting and killing isn't good. Maybe being sincere will lead to success? That way, I can ask more people what 'the need for urination' means..."

Black Zetsu frowned.

To say something like that in a situation like this makes me want to just shove it into a cesspool.

Shame!

Didn't they put any thought into their brains when they were creating these creatures?

"Let's go, someone else is coming."

As Zetsu slowly sank into the ground, Obito, who was in the Amaterasu Fire, also entered the vortex-shaped alternate dimension.

"Damn it! Don't you dare run away!"

The little nine-tailed fox was quite defiant, but its body betrayed it, and it remained perched on Yun's shoulder.

It knows very well that without Yun, even the strongest tailed beast is nothing more than fish meat on a chopping board.

That masked guy, his eye power, his Mangekyou Sharingan, and his self-control techniques—it's all so familiar!

"Yun boy, that guy wearing a mask... he might be Madara."

"Bang!"

After being hit on the forehead, the little nine-tailed fox, clutching its head, angrily demanded, "Why did you hit me?"

Yun smiled and replied, "You were just talking about being the boss and the underling a moment ago, and now you're denying it?"

"Yun boy? You want me to hand you over to them and stuff you into the Ten-Tails' body as nourishment?"

These words made Little Nine-Tailed Fox instantly embarrassed. She tucked her tail between her legs, lowered her head, and slowly called out, "Yun... Boss..."

Yun smiled and reached out to rub the little Nine-Tails' head: "Alright. Whether he is Uchiha Madara or not, it's all the same to me. His space-time abilities make him difficult to kill, but it's not like there's no way to kill him at all."

……

"Swish, swish, swish..."

At this moment, several figures appeared around them through the Flying Thunder God Technique on the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Minato looked around, frowned, and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Yun shook his head slightly: "They're not from the other four major ninja villages, they're from Akatsuki."

晓？

Minato frowned slightly: "You've been lying low for so long, can't hold back anymore? Has Uzumaki Sora arrived yet?"

Yun replied, "They were the two who appeared during the Joint Chunin Exams. One wore a mask, and the other was a black-and-white person. Their abilities were very special, and we couldn't defeat them."

Itachi, who had come with Minato, looked around at the black flames and said, "There are too many. We need to put them out, or this whole forest will be reduced to ashes."

Yun nodded, and then sealed the flames one by one with the fire-sealing seal.

Even with such a large-scale release, Amaterasu's fire could not be contained.

It seems Kakashi has to take a gamble here.

As they were pondering this, Quan and the other two, seeing that the flames had died down, came over, two supporting one.

"Lord Hokage."

Minato nodded, and then had the medical team take over the treatment of Taketake's abdominal injury.

After looking around at the battlefield, he said, "Let's go back to the village and come to the Hokage Building."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato, along with Itachi and the others, vanished from the spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The medical team stayed behind to treat Dazhu and maintain his condition until they returned to the village.

……

"Lord Yun, was that black flame you just saw part of your special eye technique?"

"Um."

"Lord Yun, your Instantaneous Movement Technique is incredibly fast..."

"That's Flying Thunder God Technique, or you can think of it as Body Flicker Technique."

"Hmm. And what about Lord Kurama? Was that a powerful attack—the legendary Tailed Beast Ball?"

Yuki chattered incessantly beside Yun the entire way without stopping.

Quan frowned, sensing that her teammates on this mission might have some bad intentions.

"Hmph...Aren't you shocked by my immense power?"

The little nine-tailed fox, hands on hips, looked smug: "Let me tell you, little girl, it's only because I, Lord Nine-Tails, didn't get serious that I'm not fighting. Otherwise, those two little shrimps would be begging for mercy in a heartbeat, believe it or not?"

Yuki paused, then asked in confusion, "The enemy was attacked, so why are they calling for 'Dad'?"

Uh!

Nine-Tailed Fox paused for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "Adjectives! You know what adjectives are, little brat? Did your parents beat you when you were a kid? Didn't you beg your dad for mercy?"

Yuki scratched her head: "But would something like that really do such a thing?"

Yun sighed and waved her hand, saying, "Don't listen to its nonsense. It's beyond saving. Don't learn any of this stuff."

???

Yuki asked in confusion, "Lord Yun, what do you mean by 'talking nonsense'?"

Uh!

So the root of the problem lies within yourself...

Yun rubbed her temples and didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, the little nine-tailed fox on its shoulder darted up to Izumi's shoulder in a flash.

It stretched out a paw and patted Izumi's head: "How was it? Didn't you feel touched that Lord Nine-Tailed Fox came to our rescue from so far away?"

Izumi replied with a smile, "Thank you for your rescue, Nine-Tails. When we get back to the village, what would you like to eat? It's on me."

This answer pleased the Nine-Tailed Fox greatly. It placed a paw on Izumi's hair and said, "Not bad, not bad. You know what's going on."

As she spoke, Little Nine-Tailed Fox's gaze then turned to Yuki beside her, and to Takeo on the stretcher.

The meaning is obvious: Does it mean "not indicating anything"?

With a wink, Otake asked疑惑地, "Does Lord Kurama have something wrong with his eyes? Should we have the medical team take a look? Although it's for treating people, medical ninjutsu should also work on foxes, right...?"

"puff."

These words made Izumi and Yuki burst out laughing.

The little nine-tailed fox said in an even more unfriendly tone, "Kid, I'm telling you, you're in big trouble!"

Da Zhu was stunned for a moment, not even realizing what the slang meant.

What terrible thing have I gotten myself into?

"Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, I'll treat you to a delicious meal and plenty of sake when we get back to the village. But you'll have to buy it yourself; no one will sell it to me if I go."

Yuki's words made the little nine-tailed fox nod repeatedly: "This little girl is good, she's promising, she has a bright future!"

"Bang."

The next moment, the little nine-tailed fox was hit on the head.

The little nine-tailed fox, who was covering its head, immediately bristled and turned to look behind it.

However, Yun glared at him and said, "What are you pretending to be? I think you've lost all the aura of a tailed beast. You're just like a street urchin all day long."

The Nine-Tails retorted, "So what if I'm a street urchin? Does being a street urchin mean I don't have fox rights? I'm the Nine-Tails of Konoha now! Can't I even have a drink after completing a mission?"

Got it!

It seems to be ruined; the art style is gone forever.

With Shukaku added to the mix, these two are now birds of a feather, heading in the direction of ruin with no turning back.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

After returning to the village, Yun came directly here, while Quan and his teammates went to the hospital.

The little nine-tailed fox perched on Yun's shoulder as they arrived, since it knew something about the Sage of Six Paths.

"So, those two's goal was to recruit you into their camp?"

Minato asked.

Yun nodded: "They questioned me once during the joint Chunin Exams, and given the attention the four great ninja villages are paying to Izumi, I took some precautions."

"Phew... It's all thanks to your precautions that we avoided irreversible consequences."

Minato was still shaken; he was well aware of the common problem within the Uchiha clan.

Although in Konoha now, the bonds between Kumo and others extend beyond family, if her beloved younger sister were framed by the Four Great Ninja Villages, then...

Perhaps the outbreak of war can be suppressed by himself, but if so, the position of the next Hokage will need to be carefully considered.

It's impossible to elevate a vengeful Uchiha to the position of Hokage, especially with the threat of Akatsuki and Uzumaki Sora lurking in the shadows.

Shikaku, who was standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief: "Based on the summoning technique, signing a reverse summoning agreement, and with the Flying Thunder God technique already set up, we can indeed achieve the fastest rescue."

Yun shook her head slightly: "Not only that, in fact, ever since the Chunin Exams, I've had shadow clones accompany Izumi on every mission. If the other side hadn't been caught off guard this time, Izumi wouldn't have had the chance to use a summoning jutsu."
