A few kilometers away from Kikyo Mountain, in the Ame Ninja camp.
Having received the earlier reports, they had long been on high alert.
Until another messenger ninja arrived in haste.
"Lord Yahiko, the Kumo Ninja have begun their assault! The battle has already started!"
Upon hearing this, Yahiko glanced at the Ame Ninja behind him.
This was his first time leading such a large force into battle.
Once, he had only wanted to eradicate war, yet now he found himself bringing his comrades into it.
The grand words he had spoken—were they truly for a noble cause, or merely for personal ambition?
But at this moment, it was too late for regret, and there was no point in dwelling on such questions.
Taking a deep breath, Yahiko commanded, "Move out!"
The battlefield was already in chaos, filled with dust and smoke.
Jutsu clashed against jutsu, and countless corpses littered the ground.
Yet, the dead had never been an obstacle—if anything, the sight of fallen comrades only fueled the fury and numbness of those still standing.
On the battlefield, Hachibi rampaged with unstoppable might.
For many Konoha Ninja, this was their first time seeing a tailed beast up close, and its sheer size alone was enough to fill them with dread.
High above, Makoto flew with Kushina, observing the destruction wrought by Hachibi below.
Kushina formed a series of hand seals, then pressed her hands firmly against her abdomen, as if unlocking a sealed door.
Boom!
A powerful gale erupted around her, dark red chakra rapidly engulfing her entire body.
Her presence transformed instantly, exuding raw, beastly ferocity.
Seeing this, Makoto had to retreat a bit to avoid being affected by her chakra.
Covered in the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak, Kushina plummeted toward the Kumo Ninja forces below.
In this state, she had completely lost her rationality and moved with incredible speed, launching frantic attacks on everyone around her.
The sudden appearance of Kyuubi immediately put countless Kumo Ninja on high alert, while Hachibi, sensing the familiar chakra, was visibly shocked.
"Bee, be careful!" Hachibi warned inside Killer Bee's mind.
Killer Bee's eyes locked onto Kushina.
"A worthy opponent—let's do this head-on!"
Some Kumo Ninja were not unfamiliar with Kyuubi, as the village had previously harbored two individuals who wielded its power—none other than the legendary Ginkaku and Kinkaku Brothers.
Now cloaked in the Tailed Beast's chakra, Kushina had entered a semi-Tailed Beast transformation.
However, this form was still evolving.
Slowly, a pale white skeletal structure began to manifest over the cloak, as if Kyuubi' chakra was gradually adapting to her body.
Boom!
A massive pillar of black and red chakra shot up into the sky, linking heaven and earth.
On the ground, Kyuubi was enveloped in a semi-spherical chakra barrier, radiating an aura of terror and icy hostility.
The barrier continued to expand, growing larger and larger with each passing moment.
The surrounding Kumo Ninja knew that the creature was not to be trifled with, and they quickly retreated to the rear while it was still evolving.
"Roar—!"
Finally, a fierce gale erupted as the chakra barrier shattered.
The beast's furious roar echoed across the sky.
Kyuubi reappeared, now equal in size to Hachibi.
Its entire body had formed flesh, but it lacked skin and fur, with exposed muscles and sinews making it look even more terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Hachibi let out a roar of its own.
Its massive body leaped into the air, charging straight at Kyuubi.
Boom!
The ground trembled as if the world itself had been reduced to just these two monstrous entities.
Hachibi closed the distance in an instant and delivered a powerful punch that sent Kyuubi flying.
The fox tumbled and skidded a hundred meters across the ground.
"Speed is the key, strike first to gain the advantage!" Killer Bee shouted triumphantly.
"Idiot, it's a fox," Hachibi corrected.
"Strike first to gain the fox!"
Kyuubi shakily got back up, roaring furiously at Hachibi, but it didn't immediately counterattack.
Its roars continued, filled with apparent pain and frustration.
Its evolution was not yet complete.
Fiery fur slowly grew across its body, and the once terrifying beast finally took the form of a true fox.
Kyuubi swayed behind it, stirring up fierce gales.
"Bee, it's not in its full form!" Hachibi continued to warn Killer Bee.
Although Kyuubi now appeared fully formed, looking no different from its complete state, Hachibi knew it well.
This was merely an external manifestation of a portion of its chakra.
The jinchuriki could not achieve full transformation and was only using this method to bring Kyuubi out.
The Kumo Ninja instinctively cleared the battlefield for the two tailed beasts.
Kyuubi exhaled white mist, its gaze locked onto Hachibi.
After a brief standoff, it suddenly sprang into action, dashing across the ground with its powerful claws and firing a barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs from its mouth.
"Bee, watch out!"
Hachibi roared and swung its massive arms, swatting away the incoming Tailed Beast Bombs.
They hurtled into distant mountains, leveling numerous peaks in a series of deafening explosions.
Then, it charged at Kyuubi.
The two colossal beasts clashed violently.
Hachibi, with the advantage of its powerful fists, repeatedly knocked Kyuubi to the ground.
Enraged, Kyuubi retaliated with its sharp claws and fangs, but Hachibi proved to be the more experienced fighter, overwhelming its opponent.
The battlefield shook with the force of their battle.
Winds howled like rolling thunder, and countless cracks spread across the earth's surface.
Kyuubi suddenly opened its massive maw, gathering dark red chakra, intending to unleash a Tailed Beast Bomb at close range.
However, Hachibi landed a powerful punch to its face, slamming its head firmly into the ground.
Boom!
The incomplete Tailed Beast Bomb detonated between them, engulfing them both in a blinding white light.
The resulting shockwave sent countless Kumo Ninja flying into the distance.
The spectators were left in awe—was this the power of the Tailed Beasts?
In front of such overwhelming might, humans were nothing more than ants.
"Unmatched bravery, dominating all directions!" Killer Bee shouted excitedly.
Standing high in the sky, Makoto refrained from getting too close to the two colossal beasts.
Watching Kyuubi being completely overpowered by Hachibi, he frowned slightly—the seal had not been fully released yet.
Hachibi, looking down at the panting Kyuubi beneath it, spoke up,
"This isn't like you. Have you really resigned yourself to being controlled?"
It was Hachibi addressing Kyuubi.
However, Kyuubi did not respond.
It continued to struggle madly, showing no signs of reason—only the pure instincts of a wild beast.
Finally, after struggling and roaring for a long time, Kyuubi suddenly quieted down, falling silent.
Hachibi, sensing that its opponent was purely an untamed beast, relaxed its grip and loosened its powerful arms.
Sizzle—
At that moment, white steam began to rise from Kyuubi' body, as if something was evaporating from within.
Kyuubi slowly rose to its feet once again.
Hachibi instantly tensed and swung its massive arm toward the fox's head—only to have its attack effortlessly swatted away by Kyuubi' claw.
Boom!
Kyuubi' enormous figure leaped into the air, its dark silhouette casting a massive shadow over the battlefield below, sending powerful gusts of wind roaring through the area.
It landed on an open space hundreds of meters away from Hachibi.
But for creatures of their size, such a distance was insignificant.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Kyuubi had completely changed.
It sat on the ground in a more human-like posture, its front paws gently wiping its fox-like face, staring at Hachibi with a fierce, bloodthirsty gaze.
Hachibi' voice became unusually grave: "It has emerged!"
Killer Bee also spoke in a low tone: "My opponent... truly worthy of its name!"
Kyuubi slowly spoke, its voice deep and ancient:
"You've grown quite strong, Hachibi."
