73: Chapter 73 A God in Animal Skin: The Rage of ReasonThe wind stopped.
It wasn't a natural stillness, but rather the air seemed to be forcibly compressed and solidified by some higher-density substance.
Naruto stood at the bridgehead, slowly pulling his hand out of his pocket.
With his movements, the dark red chakra, like a flood breaking through a dam, no longer flowed, but gushed forth.
"Since you're so eager to see this, then open your snake eyes wide and look carefully."
boom!
The first tail is materialized.
The dark red chakra was no longer an ethereal mist; it was as viscous as blood and as heavy as mercury.
The tail merely slapped casually across the bridge surface, instantly turning the hard stone slab into dust.
Next, the second one.
Article 3.
There was no hand seal, no energy gathering, and not even much emotional fluctuation.
Three dark red tails spread out behind Naruto, like three scythes of death, stirring up the air around the Tenchi Bridge.
Snap—Squeak—
The stone bridge, weathered by time, groaned under the weight of the storm.
A terrifying chakra storm radiated indiscriminately outwards from Naruto's center.
That's not wind, that's a high-density energy turbulence.
"Hmm!"
Kabuto Yakushi, standing behind Orochimaru, froze instantly, his composed, fake smile gone.
His prized chakra scalpel was a joke in the face of this storm.
It felt like being hit head-on by a high-speed train; his feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, and he was thrown backward uncontrollably.
*Smack*
Dou crashed into a boulder, his glasses became cracked, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
"This amount of chakra.are you kidding me?" Kabuto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing fear for the first time."Is this just a leaked aura?"
On the other side.
"Oh no!Retreat quickly!"
Yamato's face turned pale, and his hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.
He could feel the hatred and savagery contained within that chakra, which was frantically eroding all living things around him.
If we don't stop them, they'll all die here, let alone the mission!
"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"
Rows of semi-circular wooden pillars rose from the ground, enclosing Sakura and Sai.
But that's not enough at all.
That chakra was still rising, seemingly without end.
Naruto lowered his head slightly, his bangs obscuring his eyes and eyebrows.
He could hear the roar of the fox within him, the rage of someone imprisoned for a thousand years, the urge to destroy everything.
"Kill them all!Tear them apart!Kid, give me your body!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice echoed in the mental space.
Naruto stood in the puddles in front of the sealed gate, looking at the giant fox, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Shut up, big dog."
The real world.
Naruto suddenly raised his head.
roar----!
A superhuman roar echoed through the sky.
The sound, a blend of a boy's voice and a beast's roar, created sonic waves that shattered the rocks on both sides of the canyon.
The rolling rocks crashed into the abyss, but even the echoes were swallowed up by the roar.
The bridge between heaven and earth is broken.
Faced with this destructive force, human architecture is as fragile as a biscuit.
Orochimaru stood on the other side of the broken bridge, his long hair dancing wildly in the turbulent air currents.
His face showed no fear, only a morbid, almost orgasmic ecstasy.
"Yes.that's it!That's the power!"
Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue, greedily licking the bloody chakra that filled the air.
"Go out of control!Go berserk!Let me see just how powerful the Nine-Tails really is!"
In his view, Naruto was finished.
No one could remain rational under such a level of Tailed Beast chakra corruption.
Their skin will fester, their consciousness will collapse, and they will eventually become nothing more than wild beasts that only know how to kill.
Even those who previously possessed godlike power were not immune to the common fate.
This is exactly what he wanted.
Once Naruto loses his mind, he's just a simple collection of energy, making him the perfect experimental subject!
Sizzle sizzle—
The sickening sound of burning flesh filled the air.
Naruto's clothes instantly turned to dust.
The originally healthy skin peeled off rapidly under the scorching heat of the chakra, and the blood that had just seeped out was evaporated and then merged with the dark red chakra.
This scene was extremely tragic.
Sakura saw this through the crack in the wooden wall, covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Naruto.no."
A fourth tail slowly emerged from the bloody, dark red mass.
At this point, Naruto was no longer recognizable as human.
He transformed into a dark red fox that walked upright, its body flowing with scalding chakra magma, black stripes covering its entire body, and only its white eyes were empty and terrifying.
Four-tailed fox.
This is a forbidden area that no genin (lower-level ninja) can ever touch.
"It's over…" Yamato looked at the monster in despair."Once it reaches the Four-Tails, its consciousness will be completely devoured.We must use that technique immediately…"
Yamato's hands trembled, and the character "座" (seat) appeared in his palms.
That was a legacy left by the First Hokage, the Kouan Ruyu Hand, specifically designed to suppress the chakra of the Tailed Beasts.
He had to forcefully suppress the "monster" before it had fully adapted to his body!
"We absolutely have to make it!"
Yamato gritted his teeth and rushed out of the cover, charging towards the dark red beast.
Orochimaru glanced at Yamato charging towards him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "A nuisance."
He was preparing to get rid of this nuisance who was disturbing his appreciation of the "work of art," while also bracing himself for an attack from the raging beast.
However.
Right in this very second.
The dark red fox demon, which was roaring to the sky and seemed to have been completely reduced to a killing machine, suddenly stopped moving.
It—or rather, it—slowly turned its head.
That hideous beast-like face, devoid of skin and composed only of dark red chakra.It was aimed at the charging Yamato.
There was no madness in the empty white eye sockets.
There was only a deathly silence, like an abyss, and a hint of.disdain for the fool.
The beast's mouth was slightly open.
A surge of heat erupted out.
Immediately afterwards, a voice rang out.
The voice was deep and hoarse, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other, accompanied by overlapping growls of wild beasts.
"Captain Yamato."
The sound pierced through the roar of chakra and clearly penetrated Yamato's eardrums.
"Step back."
The dark red beast claws were raised slightly, making a gesture to shoo away flies.
"Don't get in the way."
There was no murderous intent in his tone, only an indifference towards roadside pebbles.
quiet.
A deathly silence.
Even the howling wind in the canyon seemed to have its neck snapped at that moment.
Yamato remained in the forward-rushing hand seal posture, his entire body frozen in place like a petrified statue.
The character for "seat" on his palm gleamed with an awkward light.
Did.speak?
The four-tailed form.spoke?
And they even called him captain?
You think he's in the way?
It's as absurd as seeing Godzilla destroying a city, and then it suddenly turns around and says to you, "Excuse me, buddy, I need to go buy a pack of cigarettes up ahead."
Not far away, Orochimaru's morbidly ecstatic smile froze on his face, like a crack appearing in a cheap mask.
His usually calculating snake-like eyes trembled violently at this moment, the pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
"Impossible." Orochimaru subconsciously took a half step back, his voice hoarse, "With this concentration of chakra.why is your consciousness still intact?"
This defies common sense!
This violates the ironclad rules of the ninja world!
When a Jinchuriki reaches this level of Tailed Beast transformation, their mental world should be filled with hatred!
[Ding!You have received 8000 [Worldview Shattering] items from Orochimaru!]
The numbers on the system panel jumped wildly, flooding the screen like a waterfall.
Naruto—or rather, his four-tailed form—seemed quite satisfied with the effect.
Although his ferocious beast-like face couldn't display any expression, the slight upturn of his lips conveyed a chilling mockery.
"What?Surprised?"
Naruto raised the beast claw covered in dark red chakra, gently clenched it, and felt the surging power within his body.
"Orochimaru, your so-called 'truth' is too narrow-minded."
"Do you think I'm a beast consumed by power?"
"No."
Naruto lowered his body slightly, his four tails thrashing wildly behind him, smashing the ground around him to pieces.
"I am the master of this power."
boom!
Before he finished speaking, Naruto's figure disappeared.
No, it didn't disappear.
It's because it's too fast.
It was so fast that even Orochimaru's dynamic vision could only catch a red afterimage.
Orochimaru's snake eyes suddenly contracted, and his body instinctively wanted to transform into a substitute.
But he had only completed half of the hand seals, and hadn't even had time to mobilize his chakra.
A scalding hot beast claw was already pressed against his face, forcibly severing all his ninjutsu circuits.
"Too slow."
BOOM!
A loud bang.
Orochimaru didn't even have time to release his substitution jutsu.He was like a baseball that had been hit, instantly smashing through countless towering trees, turning into a black line, and crashing heavily into the depths of the forest.
Dust billowed and the roar of falling trees filled the air.
But that's not all.
Naruto did not give chase.
He merely opened his mouth slightly, his four tails curling back behind him and converging in front of his mouth to form a fulcrum.
A buzzing sound—the surrounding light seemed to dim instantly.
Countless blue and red chakra dots, like stardust captured by a black hole, collapsed madly toward the point in front of his mouth.
That is the purest symbol of violence of the Tailed Beasts.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yamato's legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.
"That starting stance is."
He had seen the classified files.
That is the ultimate weapon that only fully-formed tailed beasts can unleash.
Naruto's mind sneered inwardly.
He doesn't need hand seals or any special skills.
Faced with this absolute power, all ninjutsu is nothing but flashy trickery.
The dark red fox opened its mouth wide, and a high-density black chakra sphere rapidly formed in front of it.The surrounding space began to distort as it could not withstand the mass, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound.
Naruto stared at the distant forest ruins, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a corpse.
"Orochimaru, catch this."
"This is a return gift for you."
[False Dog Cannon].
The camera lingered on the black sphere that seemed to devour light, and on the grinning beast face.
Experience pure violence.
