Sora was completely swallowed by the crimson Nine-Tails Chakra, transforming into a half-human, half-fox behemoth.
The crimson Chakra enveloped his body like flames, and the four tails behind him lashed out wildly with destructive power, the ground beneath his feet scorched black by the Chakra.
At this moment, Senju Tsunade, who was watching the water screen, was stunned. This Chakra was too familiar. "This is the Nine-Tails Chakra, how is that possible?"
Then Senju Tsunade regained her composure; with her experience, she could tell at a glance that it wasn't the Tailed Beast itself, but merely its Chakra.
Thinking of this, Senju Tsunade's shoulders immediately relaxed. Just the Tailed Beast's Chakra alone couldn't cause much of a stir.
Whoosh—
Aoki Yoru appeared in front of Sora, looking at him curiously.
Tailed Beast Chakra is truly miraculous, capable of instantly boosting someone's strength from a Genin to a Chunin.
But it makes sense; after all, a contest between ordinary Ninjas ultimately comes down to a comparison of Chakra. Having a massive quantity can create miracles!
"Roar—!"
The irrational Sora let out a roar, and a tail extended, lashing toward Aoki Yoru.
Clang—
Aoki Yoru easily blocked it with the nightfall in his hand.
At that moment, the Nine-Tails' tail suddenly surged, wrapping around Aoki Yoru's body like a venomous snake.
The moment the crimson Nine-Tails Chakra touched his body, it made a "sizzle" burning sound. Amidst the sharp sound of Chakra erosion, even the air was warped by the intense heat of this violent energy.
Aoki Yoru seemed indifferent to the corrosive nature of the Nine-Tails Chakra. He touched the tail with his hand, feeling its structure, his eyes full of curiosity.
He had already covered the surface of his body with Natural Energy.
After all, Tailed Beasts are truly miraculous; not only do they have their own consciousness, but even the Tailed Beast Chakra seems to possess it as well.
Furthermore, they can actually be resurrected after death, and they still have their consciousness after resurrection, which made him incredibly curious.
If he could research this thoroughly, could he perhaps resurrect himself as well?
"Roar—!"
Seeing Aoki Yoru ensnared, Sora rushed toward him, slamming a hand down fiercely.
Slash—
The moment the blade swept past, the tail wrapped in Nine-Tails Chakra snapped. Lightning Release surged wildly along the nightfall, pale purple lightning instantly enveloping the blade as it slashed toward Sora.
"Lightning Style: Chidori Blade!"
A huge, bone-deep wound was instantly torn across Sora's chest, which was covered in crimson Chakra.
The numbness of the Lightning Release and the rampage of the Nine-Tails Chakra erupted simultaneously. He let out a painful and violent roar, his entire body twitching violently in agony as crimson Chakra poured frantically from the wound.
The physically frail Sora could no longer endure it, yet the Nine-Tails Chakra within his body continued to surge out.
Sora screamed in pain, but the Chakra kept dissipating in all directions.
The crimson Nine-Tails Chakra poured from Sora's body like a tide, quickly condensing in mid-air to form a giant fox head.
Its outline became clearer and clearer, its fangs and beastly eyes carrying a destructive pressure, even causing the surrounding airflow to churn wildly.
At this moment, everyone in Konoha looked at the giant Nine-Tails head in the distance with grim expressions; that terrifying memory from over a decade ago had resurfaced.
Back then, the damage the Nine-Tails caused to Konoha was even more severe than a small-scale war, with white funeral banners hanging from every household.
The crowd immediately fell into a panic, wanting to run toward the shelters. Fortunately, Senju Tsunade was prepared, and the Police Force was dispatched to maintain order, preventing the panic from spreading.
"Hahaha! See that? This is the Nine-Tails. You're finished!"
Fuen looked at Yui and laughed arrogantly; even from this distance, she felt a shiver from that Chakra.
Yui looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Is that so?"
Compared to the Eight-Tails, this level of Tailed Beast Chakra was like a firefly's glow compared to the sun and moon.
Fuen's face immediately darkened. The other's leisurely expression made her very unhappy, as if Yui had her completely figured out.
"I'm going to strip you naked and hang you on a flagpole."
Then, she pressed her hands together and aimed at Yui: "Genjutsu: Phantom Moth!"
Looking at the motionless Yui, she laughed wildly and said, "You can suffer in the world of Genjutsu until your mind collapses!"
Slash—
Suddenly, a blade pierced through her chest, scarlet blood dripping from the tip and splattering on the ground.
Fuen froze, turned her head in disbelief, and said with difficulty, "Impossible... you were clearly caught in my Genjutsu. I'm absolutely certain of it."
Yui said coldly, "How can you be certain that you were the one who cast the Genjutsu?"
Fuen's pupils shrank as she saw the figure of the Yui caught in the Genjutsu in front of her instantly vanish.
"I've actually been fighting inside a Genjutsu all along? How is that possible!"
Schwing—
Yui pulled out the short sword and said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. Genjutsu is, in the end, a contest of spiritual power, and it just so happens that my spiritual power is stronger than yours."
Looking at the slowly collapsing Fuen, Yui flicked the blood off her blade. "In your next life, remember not to be overly confident in your own Genjutsu."
If Fuen hadn't been so overconfident in her Genjutsu, she wouldn't have failed to notice, considering she was something of a Genjutsu master herself.
On the other side.
Kenta ignored the giant fox head in the distance. Although that Chakra was massive, it wasn't enough to challenge Aoki Yoru.
Instead, he looked with interest at the red-haired woman in front of him; she could actually skillfully use five attributes of Chakra.
This was extremely rare in the Ninja World; he only knew of the deceased Third Hokage and Yui's opponent, Kakuzu.
However, he already knew this woman's weakness; all that remained was the fatal blow.
At this moment, Fuka stared at Kenta with a grim expression. This man was too fast; she couldn't find any opportunity to get close and use 'Shiki Kiss' to take over his body.
Even though she had used all her tricks, including seduction, it was useless. Had her charm faded?
Fuka wouldn't have guessed that Kenta was only fifteen, not yet at the age to be interested in mature women, even though his burly appearance often led people to mistake him for being thirty-five.
Then, the Chakra under Fuka's feet quietly erupted.
"Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath Kenta's feet softened, becoming viscous and firmly sticking his feet in place.
Seeing Kenta trapped, Fuka revealed a triumphant smile. Her red hair rapidly lengthened, firmly binding his body, and then she rushed right in front of him.
Pinching Kenta's chin with her delicate hand, Fuka leaned in to kiss him with an excited expression.
Suddenly, a few sparks emerged from Kenta's nostrils.
"Flame Breathing · Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Instantly, a scorching fire dragon erupted from Kenta's mouth and slammed into Fuka's face. That red hair was instantly subjected to a devastating blow.
"Aaaaah!"
Fuka's body instantly collapsed, and that red hair wailed in the air before completely losing all sign of life under the burning flames.
