Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Sun Wukong lay under the divine tree in the spiritual space, closed his eyes, and sent a private chat request to Isobu.

Isobu, who was resting with his eyes closed inside the Jinchūriki's body, suddenly opened them, first with a look of confusion, then with surprise: "Son Goku? It's actually here?!"

Without hesitation, Isogai immediately approved the application.

The two tailed beasts, separated by only one kilometer, established a communication channel known only to them.

"Sun Wukong, it really is you! What are you doing here?"

"I was also sealed away by those cunning humans." Without much explanation, Sun Wukong cut to the chase: "The situation is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point. Are you planning to cooperate with the humans to release the Tailed Beast Ball?"

Isobu nodded: "My jinchūriki and the Sunagakure forces behind him promised that after the matter is accomplished, they will excavate a larger artificial lake for me and provide an ample supply of shrimp and crabs."

"Is that so? But I'm sorry, Brother Isobu, I can't watch you make a mistake. Among your targets tonight is the prophesied child that the old man spoke of back then, who is also my jinchūriki."

Upon hearing the words "old man" and "son of prophecy," Isobu Kame trembled, his face showing surprise and doubt: "Is what you're saying true?"

"If tailed beasts don't lie to other tailed beasts, would I lie to you? We're all brothers! My Jinchuriki promised me that he would rescue us tailed beast brothers one by one from the Jinchuriki's body in the future."

"Do you believe in Sunagakure, or in your brothers, or in the Child of Prophecy?"

"This……"

Isobu was, after all, an honest beast.

He agreed to cooperate with Sunagakure only to improve his living conditions, not because he really wanted to kill anyone.

Now that its brother has said that, it's having second thoughts.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong pressed his advantage, saying, "You don't have to completely give up your deal with the Jinchuriki. You can stop when you're about to release the Tailed Beast Ball. I'll remind you again inside the Child of Prophecy then."

"Ok."

Isobu agreed: "Then you must get the Child of Prophecy to take me away as soon as possible! It's too uncomfortable to stay in this desert."

"I will handle it."

Three-tailed and four-tailed ended the call.

Sun Wukong relayed this message to Shen Er: "I have successfully persuaded Isobu."

"Thanks a lot."

Shen Er couldn't help but smile. The Three-Tails truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most Zen-like tailed beasts; it was convinced in such a short time. From now on, there will be no more obstacles on its path to manifesting its power in public.

Not long after, someone on the battlefield pointed into the darkness of the night and exclaimed in shock, "What...what is that!"

Shen Er and Zhili both turned to look at the same time.

With a deafening roar, an Edo Tensei ninja exploded, illuminating the entire area in flames.

A Sand Ninja maintained human form, but a Tailed Beast's tail extended from behind him, indicating he was borrowing the Tailed Beast's chakra. Protected solely by this tail, the explosive tags failed to cause him any harm.

Immediately afterwards, a rock-gray, tortoise-shell-like chakra slowly enveloped his body, turning his hair and eyes rock-gray. He leaped up, shattering the bodies of several Edo Tensei ninjas in a few swift movements.

Several Sand Village squads followed behind, using his cover to rush forward.

This is... a half-tailed beast form.

Chiri's expression was serious: "Sunagakure has actually sent Jinchuriki to the battlefield."

"These bastards!" Shen Er roared angrily in front of many Konoha ninja, "How dare they... defile the First Hokage's will like this!"

The "United We Stand" buff is activated!

The Konoha ninjas used Fire Release ninjutsu one after another to attack the Three-Tails Jinchuriki from a distance.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki sneered, "Insects of Konoha! You have no idea how powerful the Tailed Beasts are! Die!"

He formed hand seals and surrendered his body to Isobu. The translucent tailed beast chakra membrane on his body gradually solidified, and his body expanded continuously under the influence of the chakra, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant beast with a rock-gray shell.

In March of the 18th year of Konoha, the Tailed Beasts were used in war for the first time in the history of the ninja world.

The Three-Tailed Isobu, now in the world!

The battlefield suddenly fell silent.

As humans have evolved, the brain has retained a high degree of vigilance and fear towards "super-large creatures." Seeing exceptionally large objects can trigger irrational fear, accompanied by panic, a feeling of suffocation, and an urge to escape.

Many ninjas only ever saw descriptions of tailed beasts in intelligence manuals throughout their lives; seeing such enormous creatures in person filled them with utter terror.

A genin's limbs went weak, and his kunai slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground, the sound of metal hitting the ground particularly jarring in the silence.

A silent fear is spreading.

"Monster..."

"Let everything return to nothingness!" the Three-Tails Jinchuriki roared. "Three-Tails, for the sake of Sunagakure, use the Tailed Beast Ball on them!"

Isobu lay prostrate on the ground, his massive mouth agape, and began refining chakra, compressing Yin and Yang chakra at a ratio of two to eight. A pressure powerful enough to destroy everything slowly enveloped the entire area.

"Shen'er, don't worry, leave it to me."

Uchiha Chiri fixed his gaze on the Three-Tails, his tone calm.

Three tomoe slowly appeared and rotated within his eyes. The chakra that had been stored within the Yin Seal between his brows stirred restlessly.

She was already prepared to transform into a giant creature to fight back.

For the sake of

"It's coming!"

"and many more."

Just as she was about to activate the kaleidoscope, Shen Er reached out and pressed down on her shoulder.

"I come."

“?” Zhili blinked, looking bewildered.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Shen'er had already charged towards the Tailed Beast Ball. Among the group of Konoha ninjas who stood there dumbfounded, his figure stood out conspicuously.

Fear is a biological instinct, courage is the hymn of humanity.

The Zen temple is now resounding with the war song!

Chiri suppressed the urge to stop Shen Er, choosing to trust him while remaining vigilant.

If the Three-Tails makes the slightest move, it will immediately activate Susanoo.

This moment.

His imposing figure was reflected in the eyes of countless people. He stood on a high ground less than 500 meters away from the tailed beast, his clothes fluttering.

A voice amplified by a special ninjutsu technique, calm yet authoritative, resounded throughout the battlefield: "Isobu, leave now, and no one will be hurt. Otherwise, everyone will die!"

call……

A gentle breeze swept across the night sky.

The jet-black Tailed Beast Ball that was about to take shape in Isobu's mouth continued to shrink until it dissipated. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a fear as if it were a human appeared in the eyes of this giant beast.

Its massive, mountain-like body took a half-step back.

The tailed beasts were actually driven back by their own power?!

Countless people watched this scene, stunned into silence.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded. The Three-Tails voluntarily reverted to its full tailed beast form. The gray rock's outer shell became transparent, its massive body gradually shrank, and the Jinchuriki's face reappeared, his expression a mixture of shock and rage.

"Three-Tails, how could you..."

"Change back! Change back right now!"

No matter how he ordered him around, Isobu ignored him completely.

After being called by the name "Isobu," the Three-Tails truly believed that Jinji was the child of prophecy in the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy. This was the first time in all these years that it had been called by name by a human.

"Zen temple!"

"Zen temple!"

It's unclear who started it, but a deafening roar erupted from Konoha, and they launched an even more frenzied counterattack against Sunagakure.

The Sand Village ninjas, already overwhelmed by the Edo Tensei ninjas, suffered a further mental breakdown after witnessing the miracle caused by Zenin Shinji. However, with the puppeteer's command team behind them, they had no choice but to continue their advance, charging forward wave after wave, enduring Konoha's Great Fireballs.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki was ashen-faced and was carried away by the supervisory team.

The casualty ratio continued to increase throughout the night.

Four to one, five to one...

However, he stopped paying attention to the battles that followed.

He withdrew from the dangerous front lines and returned to Uchiha Chiri's side, smiling as he said:

"That's about enough. Now is the time to leave."

Chapter 140 Husband and Wife Team Up in Unity of Mind

The detonation tags roared and the fireballs flashed one after another.

However, neither of them continued fighting. After taking their supplies and making their final arrangements, they quietly withdrew from the front lines and returned to Konoha overnight.

On the way, Zhili finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Shen'er, how did you do that just now?"

"Hmm? What exactly do you mean?" Shen Er feigned ignorance.

"Scare away the three-tailed fox."

"Oh, this is also thanks to Hashirama." Shen Er said with a look of reminiscence, "Back then, didn't I go to the Five Kage Summit with Hashirama? At that time, Hashirama suppressed all nine tailed beasts in a canyon."

"I saw the nine tailed beasts at that time."

"Hashirama mixed my chakra with his Wood Release, which he used to suppress the Tailed Beasts, as a backup plan, thinking it might come in handy in the future. But it seems these Tailed Beasts aren't very smart; they actually mistook me for a user of Wood Release."

"So, just now I only awakened the fear that the Three-Tails was once dominated by."

"Hahaha...that really scared me a bit just now."

It is bitter, and this is also called pillar.

Shen Er once again used Hashirama as a shield. After all, the dead can't speak, so whatever they say is right. Only by invoking Hashirama's Wood Release could the miracle just now be explained.

They added another layer of gold to Hashirama's face, though he was actually somewhat unhappy about it.
