After Yugito Nii transformed into a Tailed Beast, Matatabi, with its massive body, let out an enraged roar—a furious cry of unwillingness, determined to rescue Samui.
"Samui, I'm coming to save you!"
The next moment, a Tailed Beast Bomb gathered in its mouth.
At this moment, Matatabi's consciousness had taken over. Otherwise, with Yugito Nii's current abilities, she wouldn't be able to fire a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Once the Tailed Beast Bomb was launched, the situation immediately changed. Matatabi was quite confident in its Tailed Beast Bomb, believing it would be effective no matter what, with no reason for it to be useless.
Although the stated goal was to save Samui, the target was Bai Mu. Clearly, Yugito Nii's primary target was still Bai Mu. The others were not important, not even Tsunade. Right now, the person Yugito Nii hated and wanted to kill the most was Bai Mu.
The Tailed Beast Bomb flew straight towards Bai Mu's face, not only fast but also explicitly demonstrating its power.
Anything in its path was destroyed.
However, Bai Mu's expression remained unchanged. He was still calm and composed, completely unaffected. His Susanoo became even more solid and massive.
Under the enhancement of his origin, the golden long sword grew even larger and filled with violent power, as if a single swing could destroy heaven and earth.
And the facts proved this to be true.
Bai Mu controlled his Susanoo and cleaved the Tailed Beast Bomb in half with a single sword stroke. This swift counterattack left Yugito Nii no time to react.
Of course, it wasn't just Yugito Nii. Matatabi was greatly shocked. 'My Tailed Beast Bomb was useless? This is the Uchiha's Mangekyo… Wait, it doesn't seem to be Mangekyo. And this aura, it feels a bit like the Old Man. Could it be an atavism?'
'Strange, such power is truly incredible.'
Because of the power Bai Mu displayed,
Matatabi was both surprised and fearful at this moment.
But should it surrender?
No way!
"Surrender, or not?" Bai Mu looked at the transformed Yugito Nii, calmly asking.
Just tell me, surrender or not? How do you choose?
If you don't surrender, you're finished.
It's that simple.
Roar!
This was the Two-Tails' response.
Both Yugito Nii and Matatabi refused to surrender, even though they now knew Bai Mu was difficult to deal with. But so what? Even if he was difficult, they had to keep fighting.
Surrender was out of the question.
"Hm, I understand. Resisting to the end," Bai Mu looked at the Two-Tails with cold eyes, his tone filled with disdain. He clearly understood their meaning.
Given this situation, he would just cripple it. That would make capturing it easiest.
"Human, you are strong, but don't think you can truly defeat a Tailed Beast," Matatabi couldn't stand Bai Mu's arrogance and immediately spoke in human language.
Bai Mu calmly replied, "Defeating you is no challenge."
To defeat you, what challenge is there?
Don't tell me it's difficult.
That's impossible.
Tsunade, standing behind him, couldn't help but retort, "Are we not supposed to do anything?"
"What do you want to do?" Esdeath said with a huff, arms crossed.
"Shouldn't I test the power of Wood Release?" Tsunade ignored Esdeath and muttered to herself.
Speaking of which, shouldn't I find a Tailed Beast to practice my Wood Release on? Wood Release should be used against Tailed Beasts; it's their natural counter. I think it's worth a try.
"In this situation, you can forget about it," Alice Lize just wanted to tell Tsunade to forget about it; she was purely dreaming.
Why can't I think about it?
I think I can.
However, Tsunade simply felt she could think about it, with no reason not to, so she tentatively clapped her hands together.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
A massive wood dragon binds the Tailed Beast. Even the Nine-Tails couldn't break free from its restraint. Once entangled, it would have its chakra absorbed. It was the ultimate Tailed Beast counter.
Tsunade immediately started with the Wood Dragon, which undoubtedly pinned down the Two-Tails. It couldn't even react before being bound by the Wood Dragon.
"What's going on?"
Yugito Nii, within her cautious space, looked bewildered, exclaiming in disbelief, "What the hell? What is this power?"
"It's Wood Release!"
Matatabi was even more despairing.
First, the Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan… Oh, no, that should be Indra's power. Those eyes are Sharingan, but not Mangekyo Sharingan. If Matatabi had to describe it, it would be Indra's eyes.
No need for Mangekyo evolution, Indra's naturally gifted Sage Eyes were enough to counter Tailed Beasts. And now, Wood Release came along. So, what was going on? A convergence of Indra and Asura's powers?
Are their descendants this fierce now?
But that's not right. That Uchiha Bai Mu, his aura isn't Indra's. Instead, it feels like the Six Paths Old Man, or rather… how should I describe it?
Matatabi just wanted to say, 'No problem, I can't describe it.'
But what it did know was that the enemy was incredibly troublesome: Sharingan, Wood Release—what kind of game was this?!
Its mental state was starting to collapse; it really couldn't hold on.
Matatabi really wanted to curse.
Why are there so many ruthless people in the ninja world now, making it so that Tailed Beasts have no room to survive? If I fall into the hands of the Uchiha clan… it's over, it's truly over.
"Tsunade, what are you trying to do?" Bai Mu frowned immediately when Tsunade made her move.
"I just saw you were being slow, so I directly stepped in to help you. I was afraid you'd kill her, and I also wanted to try out the power of Wood Release."
Facing Bai Mu's questioning, Tsunade gave a simple explanation.
I'm doing this entirely for your sake.
I can't just kill the Tailed Beast, can I?
No, I can't!
Baimu: "..."
So I should thank you, right?
The problem is that I really have no difficulty dealing with a Tailed Beast. The genjutsu of the Sharingan is enough; with my dōjutsu power, taking down a Tailed Beast is no problem at all.
My Sharingan is blessed with the power of the origin, even Indra would have to bow down before me, so what do you think is the problem?
Of course, Baimu was too lazy to say so much. Under Tsunade's Wood Release restraint, he simply glared at it. The scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan, the eerie Sharingan, instantly appeared in Matatabi's eyes.
And within the mental space, whether it was the consciousness of the Two-Tails Matatabi or Yugito Nii's consciousness, eerie three-tomoe Sharingan with a reddish glow appeared in their eyes.
Undoubtedly, they were already under control.
Under the dual control of Wood Release and Sharingan, the Tailed Beast transformation was dispelled, and Yugito Nii's figure reappeared, immediately fainting.
"Alright, take her back. It seems..." Baimu said, dispelling his Susanoo, his gaze falling on the distance.
Tsunade followed Baimu's gaze and saw a figure in the distance—it was Minato Namikaze!
He's here?
Well, that's normal.
Tsunade frowned slightly, then quickly realized that he must have been arranged by Shikaku Nara after receiving the news. This was not surprising.
Upon Minato Namikaze's arrival, he surveyed the surroundings and immediately showed a surprised expression. He truly hadn't expected there to be a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki here, and it looked like she was under control.
So he instinctively blurted out, "Lady Tsunade, you all..."
