"Lord Orochimaru, Sunagakure has deployed a tailed beast!"

"Flank! Flank! It's been overrun by the One-Tail..."

The sensory ninja hurriedly relayed the information.

"I know," Orochimaru's voice was as cold as ice.

He stared at the huge figure that suddenly appeared on the other side of the battlefield.

The massive body of the tailed beast was clearly visible even from here.

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect them to use a tailed beast. Sunagakure..." Orochimaru's face looked grim.

Should he summon Manda?

With its power, it should be able to barely contain the One-Tail.

However, that stingy creature would probably demand an exorbitant price if it knew he was going to deal with a tailed beast. It would probably ask for at least 500 living sacrifices.

It might even devour the Konoha ninjas as food.

This is such a hassle... Orochimaru hesitated.

Shukaku cackled, venting the anger it had pent up from being imprisoned for so many years.

It opened its mouth, and a terrifying Wind Release chakra breath, like a hurricane, devoured everything on the battlefield.

"Use Fire Release to defend!"

On the Konoha side, some ninjas had organized themselves to resist the One-Tail's attack.

"Fire Release! Fire Bullet!"

"Fire Release! Dragon Fire Ninjutsu!"

"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"

These attacks met the hurricane spat out by Shukaku.

In the ninja world, Fire Release counters Wind Release.

But given the huge gap in the tailed beast's size and chakra, the streams of fire were constantly shattered.

"Damn it!" The Jonin's face looked awful.

Suddenly, his eyes went blurry and he caught sight of a slender figure with flowing black hair dashing forward.

Before he could stop her, he heard a cold shout.

"Fire Release! Great Fire Annihilation!"

Terrible flames spewed out from her mouth!

They turned into a huge tidal wave of fire and rushed head-on towards the hurricane.

"Such a high-level Fire Release..." The Jonin's eyelids gave a little twitch.

Is she an Uchiha ninja? She looks only in her teens. How terrifying...

Behind her, a large number of Konoha ninjas reacted.

They leaped forward, quickly formed hand seals, and released another wave of Fire Release techniques.

Shukaku's attack was blocked.

The flames scorched its body, like the bites of ants.

"Damn it!" It screeched shrilly, as if angry that its attack had been blocked by a bunch of ants.

Uchiha Rin wanted to use Fire Release! Great Fire Annihilation! again, but the massive consumption of chakra made her suddenly dizzy, and her body staggered slightly.

A firm support came from behind, catching her firmly.

"You've done a great job, Rin."

"Leave the rest to me."

Uchiha Rin turned around. A pair of pure white eyes were smiling at her.

"Satoru..."

"Is it because you've been cultivating in the clan recently? I didn't even know your Fire Release had become so powerful."

"There are still many things you don't know!" Uchiha Rin turned her head away proudly.

Shukaku was enraged.

"Damn humans, go to hell!"

A ridiculously huge yellow tail slammed down, swatting away a bunch of Konoha ninjas as if they were mere mosquitoes.

"Quick! Use Earth Style to stop its movement!"

"Earth Style: Earth Flow City Wall!"

A wall of earth rose up from the ground.

Then it was crushed by a single stomp.

Shukaku let out a shrill roar, as if showing off its power.

"An apocalyptic - level tailed beast... Can we really fight against it?"

"It's too strong. We're no match for it at all!"

Fear and a sense of powerlessness spread among the Konoha ninjas.

Just then, they suddenly heard a sneering voice.

"All fears come from not having enough firepower!"

They looked over in astonishment.

Along with a series of thumping noises.

Suddenly, a puff of white mist appeared beside Satoru Hyūga, and a bunch of shadow clones suddenly emerged.

"Multiple Shadow Clones?"

"He can actually perform this ninjutsu, but it's useless! You can't fight against a tailed beast just by outnumbering it."

Just then, the white mist completely dissipated, and along with the shadow clones...

There were also a whole bunch of pitch - black metal barrels!

Among them, several had such huge calibers that the surrounding Konoha ninjas couldn't help but blink nervously!

What the hell is this?

"Is the main body telling us to take it on?"

"Yeah, just one tailed beast. Consider it a warm - up for you all."

"Copy that!"

The leading shadow clone let out a loud roar.

"Second Battalion Commander! Where the hell is your electromagnetic railgun!"

"Here!"

A shadow clone behind him roared at the top of his lungs.

He pushed a huge metal artillery piece and aimed it at Shukaku, who was still in a daze.

"Prepare..."

Suddenly, blue lightning arcs danced at the black muzzle, and the blue light gradually lit up from the depths of the barrel.

Different from the electromagnetic cannon used against the Iwa ninjas, this time Satoru Hyūga was using the 2.0 version, a real electromagnetic artillery piece.

Not only was the caliber twice as large.

The shell - propelling method had also been upgraded, and its power was comparable to that of an aircraft - carrier - grade electromagnetic railgun from his past life.

Shukaku was still in a daze, with a confused look on its face like a child.

What the hell is this?

I've never seen it before!

The leading shadow clone suddenly let out a loud roar.

"Fire!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a huge sonic boom, a large blue ray flashed by and instantly covered hundreds of meters, hitting Shukaku hard in the chest.

Sizzle!

The long, metallic shell demonstrated terrifying tearing and penetrating power.

In an instant, it tore open Shukaku's chest, creating a huge gash.

"Aaaaah..."

Shukaku let out a painful scream, and its body was violently pushed backward by the powerful impact, causing the ground to shake.

Looking at this scene.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas were instantly stunned.

Even Uchiha Rin slightly parted her lips.

"Sure enough, compared to ninjutsu composed of chakra, using these kinds of shells to fight a tailed beast is much more satisfying!"

Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This is our first meeting. I hope you'll have a good time, Shukaku, physically speaking!

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The leading shadow clone kept roaring. Countless blue glows burst out from the barrels of the electromagnetic cannons and rained down heavily on Shukaku.

"Aaaah... Humans!"

Shukaku wanted to fight back.

But the few electromagnetic cannons with the largest calibers seemed to be targeting the moment it tried to stand up.

Once it tried to stand up while enduring the attacks, a cannonball would hit its knee and it would fall down heavily again.

"Satoru... is really..."

Uchiha Rin thought of her previous worries and suddenly felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"Are tailed beasts this weak?"

"No way! It hit me so hard before?"

The surrounding Konoha ninja swallowed their saliva and stared blankly at this scene.

This unscientific scene in front of them gave them a strong sense of unreality.

Shukaku looked extremely miserable. Its broken chest hadn't recovered yet when it was smashed by the continuous electromagnetic cannons.

Some of the shadow clones were really vicious.

They fired at the area between its legs!

Damn it! It would feel humiliated!

Damn it! I'm so angry I'm shaking!

When could the tailed beast really stand up!

Shukaku decided to lie flat.

If standing up meant getting beaten,

then it was better to just lie still.

Lying on its side, it with difficulty turned its head towards Satoru Hyūga against the attacks.

Dark purple violent chakra kept gathering. Along with a rising-pitched screech, a black sphere appeared.

The [Tailed Beast Ball] was a skill that all tailed beasts could use.

Shukaku usually didn't like to use the [Tailed Beast Ball].

But now it had been pushed to the limit by Satoru Hyūga.

What it didn't notice was that

while it was gathering the [Tailed Beast Ball], the largest electromagnetic cannon was also flashing blue light.

Whoosh!

A huge blue glow burst out and accurately penetrated into Shukaku's mouth.

Shukaku instantly felt its mouth was filled with something.

The [Tailed Beast Ball] it had just gathered exploded uncontrollably in its mouth.

When the smoke cleared, the Konoha ninja stared blankly and saw that

Shukaku's head was gone.

As a chakra aggregate, the tailed beast wouldn't die.

But after successive heavy blows, Shukaku finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't maintain its full form.

Its headless body kept shrinking.

This scene was also seen by Rasa in the distance. His eyelids kept twitching.

What the hell?

Even Shukaku couldn't withstand it?

Where the hell is my tailed beast? Where's that huge tailed beast of mine?

This was like a former Prime Minister of a certain country giving a speech on the street and suddenly being shot in the back. He just disappeared.

Is this fair? Is this fair, damn it!

No!

That flickering blue Flash looked so familiar.

Wasn't that...

Rasa's pupils suddenly shrank. He felt as if his heart was being grabbed by something.

Suddenly, he used the gold sand to fly himself upwards.

He saw a group of Satoru Hyūga's shadow clones operating the metal cannon barrels.

Painful memories instantly engulfed him.

Bloodshot eyes burst out of his eyeballs.

"So it's you!"
