Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Can Takuya Really Restrain the Nine-Tails?



"Scientists really do have a knack for dirty tricks. You even managed to create something like this," Takuya remarked, swirling the strange liquid in the vial.

"When are we leaving?" he added. The Eight-Tails was rampaging, and although the Third Raikage would arrive soon to clean up the mess, the Hidden Cloud Village had already taken quite the beating.

Their mission was practically complete, though the heavy lifting had been done by Orochimaru. Takuya had spent his days leisurely exploring the village, even visiting the famous Cloud Valley Gorge. Not a bad trip overall.

Orochimaru, packing up his belongings, chuckled. "Aren't you curious why I invited you on this mission in the first place, Takuya?"

Leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs, Takuya shrugged. "I figured it out. You're afraid of dying. So, using my connection to Kushina, you took the opportunity to bring me along."

"If things go smoothly, you can retreat easily. But if something goes wrong, two are better than one. Having someone else draw fire increases your chances of escape," Takuya explained with a smirk.

Orochimaru wasn't someone who did things out of kindness. Takuya knew better than to believe that.

His motives laid bare, Orochimaru didn't seem to mind. He hadn't expected Takuya to be fooled in the first place.

Still maintaining his disguise, Orochimaru extended another invitation. "How about watching the rest of the show with me?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't want to see this?" Takuya grinned. Events like this didn't happen every day—it'd be a waste not to enjoy the chaos.

Takuya also recalled how Orochimaru had slyly taken the broken horn of the Eight-Tails with him. The village was in total disarray, the Eight-Tails rampaging uncontrollably. The seal had been shattered, and it was only a matter of time before the beast fully emerged.

"Rooarrrr!"

At that moment, a massive figure of crimson chakra was tearing through the Hidden Cloud.

The drug Orochimaru had concocted sent the Eight-Tails into a full-blown frenzy, destroying everything in sight.

"Earth Release: Ten Thousand Earth Flow Walls!" One by one, tall earth walls rose, attempting to block the Eight-Tails' rampage. Dodai, the assistant to the Raikage, was working himself to the bone, barking orders.

"Where is the Raikage?!" he shouted, frustration clear in his voice.

The Eight-Tails had gone berserk far too suddenly, and to make things worse, the strongest ninja in the village, the Third Raikage, was out of town. With no other choice, Dodai led the village's jōnin in a desperate attempt to contain the beast.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But trying to stop the Eight-Tails or the Nine-Tails with sheer numbers was pointless. In the face of these tailed beasts, even large groups of shinobi were barely a match.

"Lord Dodai, we've already notified the Raikage. He should be on his way soon."

"Damn it! Hold the line!" Dodai roared.

Same result, but the methods were worlds apart.

The Hidden Cloud would suffer a massive loss from this Eight-Tails rampage. For the foreseeable future, they would have to put their rivalry with the Hidden Stone on hold.

"Roarrrr!!"

The Eight-Tails finally broke free.

Rampaging through the village, the beast smashed through everything in its path,

unstoppable. Takuya watched with curiosity-how much damage could the Eight-Tails cause

before it was brought down?

"Master, I sense a powerful chakra approaching," Snowy suddenly said, its tail stilling as an unsettling presence drew closer.

It seemed the main player had arrived.

A flash of lightning streaked through the air, slamming into the Eight-Tails and sending the massive beast flying back hundreds of meters. The Eight-Tails tumbled through the village, toppling countless buildings before finally coming to a stop.

The Third Raikage had arrived.

The lightning-fast figure that had just struck the Eight-Tails was none other than the Third Raikage, fully cloaked in his Lightning Release armor.

Aside from the absurdly overpowered Flying Thunder God technique, very few in the ninja world could match the Third Raikage's speed.

Orochimaru's grin faded, replaced by a more serious expression. The game had changed.

"Die!!!"

Roaring in rage, the Eight-Tails clambered back to its feet, its enormous mouth opening wide as it began to charge another Tailed Beast Bomb.

But the Third Raikage wasn't one to be intimidated. He charged straight for the beast, his

muscles bulging as he raised his arm, thicker than Takuya's waist, and brought it crashing

down on the Eight-Tails' jaw.
