Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

"Bang, bang, bang~".

The ground suddenly shook violently, as if something very heavy had stepped on it, causing a landslide and a cracking of the earth.

The people hiding behind the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) they created felt their bodies jump upwards.

Many of them narrowed their eyes slightly, wondering, "Could it be?"

Because they felt it was the worst possible outcome they could imagine.

That means Naruto has fully transformed into a tailed beast.

The storm lasted for about ten seconds before it stopped.

The moment the storm stopped, everyone immediately jumped onto the earthen wall, which had been reduced to ruins, and looked around.

The part of the forest they had been in earlier, closer to them, had been completely shattered into pieces by the dissipated chakra.

Now everyone can see what's going on in the woods.

But when they all saw the crimson fox that was over seventy meters tall, they were all terrified.

"Nine-tailed, nine-tailed fox demon."

Of the nine tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails is the strongest and also the most evil.

It wasn't just the ninjas of Konoha who had immense fear; the ninjas of the other four villages also harbored profound fear.

Especially those ninjas who lived through the era of the First Hokage.

Looking at the fox with nine tails before them, both the ninjas from Konoha and the ninjas from Sunagakure felt a deep sense of fear.

Kakashi and Guy, in particular, were completely stunned when they saw the fox. "This, this is the Nine-Tailed Fox. Naruto still can't control it."

At this moment, in front of the Nine-Tails, a very small person stood there, calmly raising his head to look at the Nine-Tails before him.

Sakura clenched her fists and said worriedly, "Kakashi-sensei, what should we do now? How can we help Yu Ming? He's the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Kakashi shook his head. "The Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails for the sake of the village, but he paid the ultimate price. Now, no one here is a match for the Nine-Tails. Even if they all attacked together, it would only take one swipe of its claw. Now, we can only trust Yu Ming."

After Naruto fully transformed into the Nine-Tails, he roared at Yu Ming, who was standing in front of him.

"Roar~!"

Yu Ming wasn't intimidated by the Nine-Tails in front of him; instead, he seemed rather curious. "The Nine-Tails is indeed more normal than the other tailed beasts, and it also seems to be more powerful."

"Even with only half the chakra, it is still unmatched by any other tailed beast."

Even with only half the chakra, the Nine-Tails in front of him had far more chakra than the other tailed beasts, and its power was also greater, Yu Ming could sense.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "This is interesting. It's a complete Nine-Tails transformation. I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

Naruto's consciousness had been completely taken over by Kurama at this point.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails was completely under its control.

"Roar~, brat, I finally have a chance to come out. Now I'll show you my true power."

As it spoke, it slapped at Yu Ming with its claw.

"Boom!"

The nine-tailed fox slammed down with its claw, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to split open, creating a giant crater tens of meters wide. Violent tremors occurred within a radius of hundreds of meters, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

Meanwhile, Yu Ming teleported to an even more distant location.

They were heading in the opposite direction from Kakashi and the others.

His battle with the Nine-Tails will inevitably cause immense destruction, a level of destruction they simply cannot avoid.

Yu Ming had to consider their safety.

After retreating several hundred meters.

They were already five or six hundred meters away from Kakashi and the others. From this spot, although Kakashi and the others could still clearly see the battle between Yu Ming and the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails' enormous body was too conspicuous.

However, their fight should not affect those around them.

Nine-Tailed Fox also realized Yu Ming's plan.

Kurama chuckled, "Kid, you're worried that our battle will affect those humans, aren't you? But you're wasting your time, because I can bury them here with just one Tailed Beast Ball."

Yu Ming looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox and said calmly, "I believe you can't do it."

After Yu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Nine-Tailed Fox with a calm expression.

Nine-Tailed Fox's gaze narrowed slightly, completely annoyed by Yu Ming's indifferent look.

"My Tailed Beast Ball is different from those of those worthless fish and shrimp; it doesn't need to condense for so long."

Hearing Kurama's words, Yu Ming remained calm. Looking at Kurama, he smiled and said, "You're just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp. At least they are tailed beasts. Can't you give them some face? Actually, in my eyes, you're no different from them."

The Nine-Tails, who already harbored a great deal of resentment towards Yu Ming, could no longer hold back upon hearing this. Its nine tails transformed into streaks of crimson chakra and blasted towards Yu Ming.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Why are you still angry?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than his body flashed, transforming into streaks of lightning, dodging the relentless bombardment of the nine chakra tails.

"Boom!"

After a fierce attack, the spot where Yu Ming had just stood was completely reduced to ruins.

The area within hundreds of meters was completely shattered.

Each of the Nine-Tails' chakra tails creates a crater tens of meters wide.

In just a few seconds, a giant crater hundreds of meters wide appeared in front of the Nine-Tails.

However, Nine-Tailed Fox did not sense Yu Ming's presence.

Clearly, he did not kill himself at age 28.

"Roar~".

It roared towards the ruins.

Yu Ming transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared beside the Nine-Tailed Fox. "I'm here. You're too slow."

Sensing Yu Ming's presence beside her, Nine-Tails slapped towards him with one hand.

"Bang~".

"Boom!"

With a single swipe of its claw, a massive crater, tens of meters in size, appeared where Yu Ming had just been standing.

However, this claw still failed to hit Yu Ming.

Feather appeared remarkably calm as it coalesced once more on the other side of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

At this moment, Yu Ming had completely transformed into his lightning form.

Lightning Blink's speed is no slower than that of the Fourth Raikage, and is even much faster.

Kurama sensed Yu Ming's chakra and slammed its claw at him again.

Yu Ming transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared once more.

After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, Yu Ming stood on a large tree several dozen meters away from the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This battle also allowed the ninjas of Sunagakure to fully witness Yu Ming's terrifying strength. He toyed with the Nine-Tails as if it were a pet, displaying astonishing speed and terrifying anticipation of attacks.

The Nine-Tails' power finally made Sunagakure realize the difference between Shukaku and the Nine-Tails.

But facing such a terrifying, cataclysmic tailed beast, Yu Ming was still able to remain calm, which was simply unimaginable.

Moreover, he fought against the Nine-Tails with ease.

This is something that no one in Sunagakure could do.

After Granny Chiyo died, Gaara became the strongest ninja in Sunagakure.

Secondly, there's Maki, whose strength is on par with Kakashi's.

Although they may be slightly weaker, the difference in strength is very small.

After seeing Yu Ming, the two of them also felt immense pressure.

Because they simply couldn't do what Yu Ming did, they were locked in a stalemate with the Nine-Tailed Fox for more than ten minutes.

Despite its enormous size, the Nine-Tails is incredibly fast, even reaching their fastest speed.

This is extremely terrifying. Logically speaking, a body as large as the Nine-Tails should move very slowly.

However, the speed that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) exhibits is something that even the fastest ninja in Sunagakure might not be able to match.

Perhaps only a powerful ninja like Yu Ming could contend with it.

Seeing that Yu Ming was unharmed and held his own against the Nine-Tails, Kakashi, Sakura, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they finally saw Kurama stop, open its mouth, and form a Tailed Beast Ball inside, Kakashi, Sakura, and Guy all felt a pang of anxiety.

Kakashi frowned and said, "This is a Tailed Beast. One Tailed Beast attack is enough to destroy a ninja village. I wonder how Yu Ming will dodge this kind of attack."

Although Sakura wasn't very clear about the Tailed Beast Ball, she could sense the surprise from the dense chakra within the Tailed Beast Ball in episode 042.

"Could Yu Ming be trying to resist? Could he be trying to fight against the Tailed Beast Ball?"

Kakashi was completely stunned when he heard Sakura's words. "Is this... possible?"

But when his gaze fell upon Yu Ming standing in front of Nine-Tails, he froze. "Why isn't Yu Ming moving aside?"

At this moment, Kai frowned and said, "We're right next to Yu Ming, so it's unlikely he'll move aside."

Kai knew Yu Ming's personality; he would never leave at a time like this.

If the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball explodes near them, everything within a radius of several kilometers will be flattened, and no one can escape it.

An explosion spanning several kilometers, and a pure energy explosion at that, meant their teleportation technique couldn't instantly traverse those kilometers.

None of Kakashi, Gaara, Maki, or Guy could do it.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yu Ming to leave.

Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about it. "How is this possible? How could the Tailed Beast Ball be blocked?"

Sakura clenched her fists. "It's all our fault for being too weak. Our presence here is just hindering Yu Ming's fighting ability, and he has to spare time to take care of us. I'm so useless. If I were stronger, I could face the Nine-Tails with him, stand with him, and fight side by side."
