chapter 84 part 4
The Nine-Tails, moreover, consecutively blasted Tailed Beast Bombs, shattering some of the arms.
"How ironic, Mito. Aren't you deeply moved by this scene?" The Nine-Tails recalled unpleasant memories, but still didn't forget to wildly mock Mito Uzumaki.
No sooner had it spoken than it was struck by several hands. It roared and wildly swung its nine tails, smashing numerous hands.
Mito Uzumaki also made her move. Countless Adamantine Chains lashed out like whips, slicing through all the continuously striking Wood Release arms.
"Hmph, you're a half-step slow... Mito, it seems you're almost done for. But Madara can continue fighting thanks to that strange swirling face... Before you die, why not consider letting me go? I can help you kill Madara and that strange thing."
The Nine-Tails looked at the neutralized attack wave, and the Buddha statue, which was clearly damaged after losing many arms, and secretly sighed in relief.
At first, it had indeed been startled. The painful experience of being grabbed by a hand was something it truly didn't want to repeat. But then it realized, this thing before it was far inferior to Hashirama Senju's True Several Thousand Hands.
Whether in terms of size, number of hands, or destructive power, it was too far off. However, it was still a superpower capable of suppressing most Tailed Beasts, a level even Kage-level powerhouses struggled to reach.
"I can't set you free, give up that thought. You are Hashirama's legacy, Konoha's property. I will definitely deliver you intact to the Hidden Leaf Village. This is my mission."
At some unknown point, Mito Uzumaki's breathing had grown heavier. For an elderly person with less than a year of lifespan remaining, this was already a dangerous sign.
The Nine-Tails raged.
"Just as expected, you're still the same. No matter when, you humans are always like this! Damned humans! You use and pass me down as a dangerous item that must be controlled!!"
The Sage of Kaedex Paths said that humans would connect hearts with all the Tailed Beasts, but they had spent over a thousand years proving that was a lie!
How could Tailed Beasts and humans ever trust each other? Humans themselves exploit and kill each other, so how could they truly achieve mutual trust with dangerous, immortal beings like Tailed Beasts?
The Nine-Tails had originally planned to make some concessions as Mito Uzumaki approached death, showing a proactive stance, but Mito Uzumaki completely rejected its "kindness."
Mito Uzumaki said coldly: "Don't portray yourself as so innocent, Nine-Tails... I can feel your inner thoughts, so I know what you mean. But don't forget how many people you've killed over the years. Until a true solution is found, binding you with unbreakable chains is the best method."
"Hmph, that sounds great, how righteous... Just you wait, I will harbor my hatred for you and kill Kushina Uzumaki! I will definitely kill her, I will." The Nine-Tails bared its fangs.
Based on its understanding of Mito Uzumaki, since it was already the final moment, and even if she defeated Madara, she wouldn't survive... then according to Mito Uzumaki's personality, she would surely do that thing.
To die with Madara!
Tobi and Madara stood atop the Senju Buddha statue's head, watching Mito Uzumaki and the Nine-Tails.
"Madara-sama, my Buddha statue has become like this. I'll repair it again. The body within me is very sturdy, and I can still squeeze more power out of it," Tobi said gleefully.
He himself didn't even know that he could one day become this powerful, just by encasing a Hashirama clone!
Moreover, he was very clear that this was not his limit. He could still become even stronger and unleash a True Several Thousand Hands of even greater scale.
"By the way, Madara-sama, I remember you saying that when Hashirama Senju-sama used this Jutsu back then, it was activated in Sage Mode... What is Sage Mode? Can I learn it too? If I learned it, I could probably use a truly complete True Several Thousand Hands, right?" Tobi excitedly inquired.
"What if it is? You are merely a defective product created by this old man," Madara said.
"That's important! I'll use True Several Thousand Hands to suppress enemies and then make them tell me what exactly the urge to defecate is. The stronger the person, the more varied their insights on this question will surely be!"
"...Do as you please."
Tobi let out a strange cry and performed Hand Kaedegns again. Controlling the five small Buddha heads on the statue's forehead, he made them open their mouths and spew out Five Nature Release Jutsu, ruthlessly purging everything below.
Whether it was the forest, the Nine-Tails, or Mito Uzumaki, all were destined to vanish under this endless bombardment. But Mito Uzumaki wouldn't fall so easily.
While the Five Nature Release Jutsu were still active, the Nine-Tails' figure forcibly endured the high-level Ninjutsu attacks and burst out. Its body was already covered in wounds. It was clear it was reluctant to do so.
But the chains on its body violently pierced it, forcing it to act.
Fury, pain, hatred, shame... The Nine-Tails had gone berserk. It roared and bit down on one of the Buddha heads on True Several Thousand Hands' forehead. Immediately after, several tails lashed out, destroying four of the small Buddha heads in one go.
"A beast, indeed."
Madara's eyes showed no emotional fluctuations. He coldly snorted and looked at Mito Uzumaki, who had suddenly rushed out from behind the Nine-Tails.
Mito Uzumaki slapped her hand forward, maintaining this posture. Countless dense runes writhed before her. Clearly, she had used the Nine-Tails and this Jutsu Formula as a shield to evade the prolonged attacks of the Five Nature Release Jutsu.
"Is she going for one last desperate struggle?" Madara's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.
With Tobi and the Hashirama clone, Madara had clearly gained the upper hand. Even if it came down to attrition, he could wear Mito Uzumaki down to death. The outcome of this battle was actually already sealed. However, Mito Uzumaki clearly didn't think so.
"She's here, she's here! Madara-sama, is it alright to just kill her now?"
Tobi excitedly yelled, extending a hand and aiming it at Mito Uzumaki: "Just die already, Wood Release: Impaling Spikes!"
Numerous Wood Release spikes suddenly extended from Tobi's hand and shot out like cannonballs. Their powerful piercing force could easily penetrate obstacles. At first glance, Tobi's posture strikingly resembled Mito Uzumaki employing Adamantine Chains.
Tobi also improved his combat abilities, continuously learning rather than just relying on Wood Release and massive Chakra to perform powerful Ninjutsu.
Puncture! Mito Uzumaki's expression was icy. She slightly tilted her head, ensuring her head wouldn't be directly struck, while her body bore the full brunt of the attacks.
In just an instant, her body was pierced by over a dozen wooden spikes, like a sieve. But such injuries were not fatal to her. She merely flicked an Adamantine Chain with a single finger, drawing a large surge of Chakra from the Nine-Tails into herself, and rapidly healing her wounds.
Capitalizing on her unwavering charge, Mito Uzumaki rushed onto the Buddha statue, startling Tobi.
"Ah?? She can do that?!"
Tobi felt his combat experience had grown again. It seemed that in the future, when facing difficult enemies, he must prevent situations where they would charge forward, even if it meant taking attacks.
