"The old man was right to let me carry out this retaliation against the Hidden Cloud. If the Nine-Tails ever unleashed its fury on Konoha, the destruction would be even worse than what we're seeing here," Orochimaru remarked.
"The Nine-Tails wouldn't get the chance to go wild," Xin replied, still focused on the scene below.
"Oh?" Orochimaru's slitted eyes narrowed. "Are you saying you can restrain the Nine-Tails, Xin?"
Could Xin really restrain the Nine-Tails? Was he serious? Orochimaru's mind raced, wondering how Xincould possibly pull that off. Was it this little fox companion of his? Or some other technique?
Orochimaru's curiosity was piqued as he speculated wildly.
Ophis, sitting on Xin's shoulder, glanced at Orochimaru indifferently, not interested in giving him the time of day. It had never liked Orochimaru's scent to begin with.
"I can restrain it to some extent," Xin admitted casually, not overplaying his hand.
He could restrain the Nine-Tails, sure-but it depended on how you defined restraint. Beating the beast into submission was one way, sealing it was another. Then there was the Madara Uchiha method of treating the Nine-Tails like a pet, or the Hashirama approach of casually grabbing it like a chicken.
Same result, but the methods were worlds apart.
The Hidden Cloud would suffer a massive loss from this Eight-Tails rampage. For the foreseeable future, they would have to put their rivalry with the Hidden Stone on hold.
"Roarrrr!!"
The Eight-Tails finally broke free.
Rampaging through the village, the beast smashed through everything in its path, unstoppable. Xin watched with curiosity-how much damage could the Eight-Tails cause before it was brought down?
"Xin, I sense a powerful chakra approaching," Ophis suddenly said, its tail stilling as an unsettling presence drew closer.
It seemed the main player had arrived.
A flash of lightning streaked through the air, slamming into the Eight-Tails and sending the massive beast flying back hundreds of meters. The Eight-Tails tumbled through the village, toppling countless buildings before finally coming to a stop.
The Third Raikage had arrived.
The lightning-fast figure that had just struck the Eight-Tails was none other than the Third Raikage, fully cloaked in his Lightning Release armor.
Aside from the absurdly overpowered Flying Thunder God technique, very few in the ninja world could match the Third Raikage's speed.
Orochimaru's grin faded, replaced by a more serious expression. The game had changed.
"Die!!!"
Roaring in rage, the Eight-Tails clambered back to its feet, its enormous mouth opening wide as it began to charge another Tailed Beast Bomb.
But the Third Raikage wasn't one to be intimidated. He charged straight for the beast, his muscles bulging as he raised his arm, thicker than Xin's waist, and brought it crashing down on the Eight-Tails' jaw.
