Chapter 221: The Two-Tails is Secured
The moment Douhuan was dealing with the Two-Tails, Gyūki seized the opportunity! Its enormous body toppled like a mountain, rushing forward with an aura that could crush everything. Eight tentacles, like giant siege hammers, wrapped in power sufficient to shatter mountain peaks, ruthlessly smashed towards the front, sides, and top of the Susanoo from all directions! The air was compressed into visible white ripples.
"Hmph!" Uchiha Douhuan snorted coldly. The Susanoo's right arm instantly lifted, and the Ame no Habakiri in its right hand slashed out. The sharp aura, wrapped in the heavenly might of thunder, in just an instant, had cut off half of the eight tentacles. After smashing onto the ground, the severed octopus tentacles were still twitching irregularly, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
But just then, the Tailed Beast Ball condensing in Gyūki's mouth was finally complete! That jet-black sphere, compressed to the extreme and emitting a destructive aura, shot out with a trajectory that tore through space, aimed at the crystal at the top of the Susanoo's head! Its speed was at the absolute limit!
Uchiha Douhuan, inside the crystal, smiled slightly. The Susanoo's left arm swung, throwing aside the Two-Tails, Matatabi, which had been pierced by Futsunomitama. The two divine swords crossed to block in front of its chest.
Boom!
The Tailed Beast Ball and the divine swords collided fiercely. A ball of light a hundred times more dazzling than the sun instantly expanded. A destructive shockwave spread out in a sphere. If this blow were to land on the ground, everything within a radius of several kilometers would be razed to the ground!
However, in the next instant, a series of strange sealing jutsu runes appeared out of thin air around the ball of light. The impact generated by the explosion was forcefully locked within the area covered by the runes, then compressed into a golden rune, which then disappeared into the air.
"He can even seal a Tailed Beast Ball?" Gyūki and Matatabi, who had just struggled back to their feet, couldn't help but feel despair rise in their hearts upon seeing this. Was this person before them named Uchiha or Uzumaki? Even the Uzumaki clan during the Warring States period rarely produced a clan member with such proficiency in sealing jutsu. Now, the two of them were no match in close combat, and when they tried to rely on the raw power of a Tailed Beast Ball, the opponent's sealing jutsu directly countered them to death.
However, Uchiha Douhuan gave the two no chance to hesitate. The two long swords in the Susanoo's hands, carrying accumulated violent power, slashed upwards from below, one after the other, drawing two sky-tearing, azure-blue crescent arcs of light—Susanoo: Thunder God's Wrathful Slash! The target was aimed straight at the throat of Gyūki, which had paused slightly due to firing the Tailed Beast Ball!
Gyūki was horrified and hastily raised its two thickest tentacles to cross and block.
Screeeech—!!!
"Moo—!!!" Accompanied by a teeth-grinding cutting sound and Gyūki's heart-wrenching roar, two tentacles comparable to mountain ranges were severed at the roots! The azure lightning attached to the severed ends exploded violently, preventing regeneration. Black blood gushed down like a waterfall.
The regrouped Matatabi gritted its teeth. Taking advantage of the opening while Gyūki was drawing fire, it once again approached at high speed from behind! It opened its giant mouth, burning with ethereal blue flames, and shot a long-accumulated Tailed Beast Ball at the back of the Susanoo's heart! At the same time, two regenerated giant tails of ethereal blue flame, like long whips, viciously lashed at the base of the Susanoo's wings, attempting to destroy its mobility.
Uchiha Douhuan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The Susanoo's giant wings suddenly folded backwards! Like two enormous black crystal barriers, they not only blocked the lashing flame whips but also contained and isolated most of the Tailed Beast Ball's explosive power outside the wings! The ethereal blue flames burned fiercely on the dark purple chakra wing surface, corroding it and making a piercing sound.
At the same time, the Susanoo spun around abruptly! Using the immense centrifugal force of the turn, Ame no Habakiri, wreathed in azure lightning, drew a perfect arc, its speed even faster than before! The blade's edge accurately slashed towards Matatabi's relatively vulnerable neck, which was exposed from firing the Tailed Beast Ball!
Matatabi's cat-like pupils shrank abruptly. Relying on the natural agility of a feline, it ducked its head and turned its body sideways in the nick of time!
Boom!
The great sword scraped past Matatabi's back, cutting off a large patch of its flaming mane and leaving a huge, scorched sword mark deep enough to see bone on its tough skin! Ethereal blue blood mixed with lightning splattered out. Matatabi screamed miserably and rolled away, plowing a burning deep trench in the ground.
"Damn it, let's go all out!"
Gyūki and Matatabi were thoroughly enraged.
They let out a heaven-shaking roar, their chakra erupting like a volcano! Gyūki's remaining six tentacles grew and expanded madly, wrapping around the Susanoo from all directions with a crazed, mutually destructive aura, trying to lock it down and crush it completely! At the same time, the giant horn on its bull head glinted coldly, aiming to ram fiercely into the Susanoo's abdomen!
Matatabi, on the other hand, endured the severe pain and pushed all its ethereal blue flames to the limit, turning into a sea of blue fire that could incinerate all things, sweeping up from the ground, trying to burn down the Susanoo's foundation!
Facing this pincer attack from above and below, a net cast from heaven to earth, the Eternal Mangekyo in Douhuan's eyes suddenly shone to its brightest! He formed seals with his hands in front of his chest.
Its giant wings suddenly stretched backwards to their absolute limit, then completely enveloped its body like a sky-blotting curtain, forcefully resisting the binding and closing force of the Eight-Tails' tentacles! At the same time, the body protected within the wings sheathed its swords, crossed its hands, gripped the hilts, and began to accumulate all its power.
The motionless Susanoo's aura climbed to its peak! The silvery runes on the condensed, seemingly tangible black chakra armor gradually became brilliant!
In the next instant, the Susanoo's wings suddenly opened, the immense force directly sending Gyūki flying. Then, both swords were drawn—Susanoo: Two-Sword Style - Iaido Slash!
Weng—!
Two intersecting, unimaginably huge azure-blue sword arcs, like scissors wielded by a god, burst forward in a fan shape with a terrifying might that could tear space and sever causality!
Wherever the sword arcs passed,
Gyūki's ramming horns were neatly severed!
The six binding tentacles, upon contact with the sword arcs, were minced and annihilated inch by inch like a hot knife through butter!
Matatabi's sky-burning sea of ethereal blue fire was forcefully split apart, torn, and blown away! The violent sword qi even plowed two bottomless, massive trenches on the ground that extended to the horizon!
The massive bodies of Gyūki and Matatabi were as if struck by an invisible giant hammer. They simultaneously let out the most miserable howls, brutally sent flying by this heaven-and-earth-splitting twin-sword slash! Intersecting, massive sword wounds deep enough to see bone were left on their bodies. Azure lightning burned fiercely on the wounds, madly corroding their Tailed Beast chakra and bringing unbearable pain.
Like two giant meteorites, they crashed onto the distant earth, causing a second earthquake-like impact.
The impact of the Tailed Beasts landing caused the formation of the Cloud army, which was already unstable from the bombardment of Sarutobi Hiruzen's combination ninjutsu, to completely collapse. The Konoha army, seeing their Hokage's divine might, had their morale greatly boosted, and when the two sides clashed, they moved as if through an undefended territory.
At this time, the undisturbed Sarutobi Hiruzen continuously used his combination ninjutsu, which became the best cover for the Konoha ninjas.
After dealing with the two Tailed Beasts, Uchiha Douhuan glanced at the battlefield. The composite chakra dragon created by Sarutobi Hiruzen's combination ninjutsu was constantly weaving through the Cloud army, causing damage without harming a single person on their own side.
In this regard, Uchiha Douhuan couldn't help but admire the old man's control over ninjutsu. Although the current Uchiha Douhuan could also accurately control the targets of his large-scale Lightning Release ninjutsu, so as not to be unapproachable even by teammates when he got excited in a fight like a few years ago, he definitely couldn't do it as effortlessly as the old man.
The situation on the battlefield, after the two Tailed Beasts of the Cloud fell, instantly became a one-sided affair. The ninjas of Konoha, led by Kakashi, directly began a slaughter.
This time, the resistance from the Cloud was countless times weaker than in the previous battle within the Land of Fire.
This was not difficult to understand. The Cloud ninjas who had previously fought head-on with Konoha still held the thought in their hearts that their invincible Raikage would come to support them after defeating Uchiha Douhuan. But in the eyes of the current Cloud army, their Raikage had just been thrown back into their formation like a piece of trash, and then had his right arm blown off in front of everyone. Their two Jinchuriki were like toys in front of the other's Hokage. What's more, facing Uchiha Douhuan's Susanoo, which was like a god walking among men, who could muster the courage to resist a god?
"Quick! Use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send the Raikage and the two Lord Jinchuriki back to the village!" Seeing the battle situation becoming more and more unfavorable, Shee hurriedly roared at the top of his lungs.
In the current situation, winning this war was already impossible. Therefore, Shee could only choose to cut his losses. This time, they had brought a third of the village's strength. If they were all lost here, it would definitely be a devastating blow. But if their Raikage and two Jinchuriki were all lost here, then their village would not be far from destruction.
As for the possible damage the Heavenly Transfer Technique could cause to the target's body, the current Cloud couldn't care less about that.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" The Cloud's small movements naturally couldn't escape the notice of Uchiha Douhuan, who was observing the whole situation from above.
The team performing the Heavenly Transfer Technique first sent away the still-unconscious A, then rushed to the two Jinchuriki who had been beaten back to their original forms and were unconscious.
Uchiha Douhuan did not stop them from sending A away. The current A had an arm broken by him. Even if he recovered from his injuries, his combat power would probably never return to its former state. Furthermore, the current situation was entirely A's own doing. In this battle, the Cloud was bound to suffer heavy losses. Because his recklessness had caused such huge losses to the Cloud, his prestige as Raikage within the Cloud would probably plummet. And those white ninjas, whose ambitions had been stirred up by White Zetsu, would probably no longer sit by and watch A continue to step on them.
However, A could go, but the Tailed Beasts should stay.
Uchiha Douhuan casually formed a seal and created a shadow clone. The shadow clone and the main body arrived beside the two fallen Jinchuriki almost instantly. The team performing the Heavenly Transfer Technique, upon seeing this, was instantly filled with terror and could only speed up the jutsu.
Uchiha Douhuan unhurriedly formed several complex seals with his hands, then slammed them heavily on the ground.
Jet-black sealing jutsu runes spread from the ground towards the two Jinchuriki, completely enveloping them in no time. Then, from the bodies of the two, ethereal blue and dark red chakra spread out along the sealing jutsu runes, slowly condensing in mid-air into the forms of the Tailed Beasts. It looked as if the Tailed Beasts were being directly stripped from the Jinchuriki.
The team performing the Heavenly Transfer Technique, seeing this, could only speed up their hand seals once again.
Uchiha Douhuan sneered upon seeing this, and two balls of raging plasma spread out from under his feet, heading straight for the people performing the Heavenly Transfer Technique beside the two Jinchuriki.
At this time, two Black Cloud Jonin beside them actually blocked in front of this lightning without any fear of death.
Although they only lasted for a single breath before being electrocuted into charcoal, they successfully bought time for their comrades.
"Your spirit is commendable, but your speed is too slow," Uchiha Douhuan said coldly. He formed the Ram Seal with his hands, and the sealing jutsu formula was instantly completed. The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails immediately let out a mournful cry and were dragged out of their Jinchurikis' bodies.
At this time, the Heavenly Transfer Technique was also just completed, and the bodies of the two Jinchuriki disappeared from the battlefield.
"Consider these two Tailed Beasts as the interest you Cloud Village pays for provoking our Konoha..." Uchiha Douhuan said slowly with a light laugh, looking at the expression of utter disbelief on Shee's face not far away. However, before his voice had even fallen, the body of Gyūki, which had been stripped from Killer Bee's body and was tightly bound by the sealing jutsu runes, exploded in a puff of smoke. After the smoke dissipated, only a constantly twitching octopus leg was left in its place.
Seeing this, the corner of Uchiha Douhuan's mouth twitched slightly. He had actually forgotten about that part.
However, getting one Two-Tails was not a complete loss.
Uchiha Douhuan looked at the Two-Tails, which was bound by the sealing jutsu runes and constantly struggling, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, in Uchiha Douhuan's eyes, the Mangekyo Sharingan activated. He aimed a genjutsu exclusive to Tailed Beasts at Matatabi.
Soon, the pattern of Uchiha Douhuan's Mangekyo Sharingan began to appear in the Two-Tails' eyes. However, this process did not last long. After a painful cry, the Two-Tails broke free from Uchiha Douhuan's control. Of course, as a price, the Two-Tails' chakra body also became illusory.
"Isn't this the genjutsu Madara left behind to control the Tailed Beasts? How can it still fail? Is my genjutsu that bad?" Uchiha Douhuan pouted and said with some annoyance.
"Kakashi!" Seeing this, Uchiha Douhuan simply shouted towards the rear.
In the next instant, the space beside Uchiha Douhuan slowly swirled, and Kakashi's figure stepped out from the void.
"Take care of this thing!" Uchiha Douhuan turned his head and ordered.
"You're..." Kakashi was also a bit speechless upon seeing this, but since Uchiha Douhuan had given the order, he could only look at Matatabi, who was bound by the sealing jutsu, and activate his Mangekyo Sharingan's genjutsu exclusive to Tailed Beasts.
