Ch 102 : Finish
Fire Country, Kumo Ninja Camp.
Mabui glanced at the sky, her expression filled with concern.
She muttered to herself, "I wonder how the frontline battle is going right now..."
Samui, standing nearby, reassured her, "Don't worry. Our forces far outnumber Konoha's, and with Lord Raikage and Lord Bee personally leading the charge, victory is certain. Lord Raikage will definitely bring Yugito back."
However, Mabui's concern did not diminish much despite Samui's comforting words.
After a moment of thought, Samui asked, "Did Uncle Moroi go too?"
"Mm…"
The Moroi she mentioned was Mabui's father.
Just as Samui was about to say something else, urgent shouts suddenly erupted within the camp.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Prepare for battle! Get ready quickly!"
Samui and Mabui's expressions changed instantly.
How could there possibly be an enemy attack at a time like this?!
Konoha only had a force of less than a thousand troops, and while most of their camp consisted of logistics personnel, there were still nearly 2,000 Kumo ninja stationed there.
Samui quickly stopped a hurried ninja and asked, "Is Konoha attacking? Where is Lord Raikage?!"
"It's not Konoha ninja attacking us! It's the Ame ninja! Prepare for battle immediately!"
Ame ninja?!
Samui and Mabui exchanged shocked glances, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.
.......
At Kikyo Mountain Fortress.
The heavily injured Raikage lay on the ground, completely drained of the strength to continue fighting against Minato.
"Damn it!" Raikage's eyes were filled with unwillingness as he lay there.
He couldn't accept such a defeat—he had brought an army of 7,000, so how could he still fail to crush the small force of Konoha?!
The outcome of the battle between Konoha and the Kumo ninja was now clear.
The Kumo forces were nearly annihilated, while Konoha had retained most of their strength.
In the distance, Hachibi suddenly reverted from its Tailed Beast form, leaving Killer Bee collapsed on the ground.
"Run, Bee," the voice of Hachibi echoed in his mind.
"Kumogakure has lost."
Killer Bee looked around blankly, realizing with a shock that the entire situation had been completely reversed.
"Lord Bee!"
A distant shout suddenly echoed, and someone was rushing toward him at high speed.
"Moroi?!" Killer Bee was quite surprised to see the approaching figure.
"Lord Bee!"
Moroi arrived in front of Killer Bee, panting heavily.
"Lord Bee, I'll get you out of here! You must not fall here!"
Killer Bee didn't respond immediately; instead, his gaze swept across the battlefield, searching for his brother.
Moroi channeled all his chakra, rapidly forming hand seals. "Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
In a flash of light, Killer Bee's figure vanished into thin air.
The Heavenly Transfer Technique placed extremely high demands on the one being transported.
Other than the Third Raikage, no one had ever survived the technique before.
However, as the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee's incredible regenerative abilities should allow him to endure it.
Since the Fourth Raikage had inherited the genes of the Third, he should survive as well.
Without a prepared sealing array, using the technique on the spot drained more than half of Moroi's chakra.
All this time, Kyuubi had been silently observing their actions but chose not to interfere this time.
It had recognized Moroi as a Kumo ninja.
Kumogakure... Kyuubi thought. I'll let this one slide for Hachibi sake.
It lifted its massive head high, gazing into the distant horizon.
Freedom… but where to go next…
Moroi had been prepared to die, but when he realized that Kyuubi hadn't attacked him, he was both relieved and confused.
Thinking that the beast hadn't noticed him, he wasted no time and fled the battlefield without looking back.
Due to the massive size of the Tailed Beasts, the battle between Kyuubi and Hachibi had taken place far from the rest of the forces.
On Konoha's side, they only noticed the sudden disappearance of Hachibi and assumed it had simply reverted to its Jinchuriki form.
Meanwhile, Makoto and Fugaku flew to Minato's side.
"Minato-senpai!"
Makoto glanced at the Fourth Raikage lying on the ground, sensing his waning chakra.
He said, "Leave him to the others. Let's go deal with Kyuubi."
Minato nodded.
Everything had been settled—now, all that remained was to seal Kyuubi once more.
Kushina…
Without hesitation, the three of them rushed toward Kyuubi.
The Raikage had already been restrained by Konoha's forces.
He was an exceptionally valuable prisoner.
Along with him, the remaining Kumo ninja were either slain or captured by the Konoha ninja who had emerged from the fortress.
"Hachibi is gone…"
While flying, Makoto suddenly noticed something unusual.
Although traces of residual chakra lingered in the air, Hachibi itself was nowhere to be seen.
Having been too far from the battlefield, he hadn't been able to witness what had just happened.
"What's wrong?" Fugaku asked from beside him.
"Hachibi is gone!"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku immediately frowned. "Was it killed by Kyuubi?"
Makoto furrowed his brows in thought.
That didn't seem likely— Hachibi was incredibly strong; it shouldn't have been defeated so easily.
Although the battle they had witnessed was already beyond shocking, in the original story, Hachibi could even hold its own against Juubi for a few moves.
Moreover, considering the relationship between Kyuubi and Hachibi…
Could it be that they fought so recklessly because they believed Tailed Beasts couldn't truly die?
Makoto couldn't quite figure it out, but Kyuubi was already right in front of them.
"Konoha!"
Kyuubi had noticed the three of them, its fierce eyes glowing with hostility as it immediately assumed a battle stance.
Are the Konoha ninja still alive?!
It gazed at the distant crowd, thinking to itself—weren't the Konoha ninja supposed to be almost wiped out?
The number he had slaughtered earlier should have far exceeded that.
Just as this thought flashed through Kyuubi mind, it was suddenly bombarded from all directions by countless dazzling lights, so bright that even closing its eyes tightly couldn't block out the piercing pain.
What is this?!
It roared in fury.
The blinding light completely deprived it of its vision.
Not only that, but all sounds around it also vanished, and the scent of magma and burnt flesh that once filled the air disappeared as well.
It was as if something had suddenly stripped away all its senses—sight, hearing, and smell.
Driven mad, Kyuubi thrashed wildly in all directions, its enormous body tearing new cracks into the already scarred earth.
Even though it was under attack, its sense of pain remained.
It let out agonized roars.
Blindly, it fired off Tailed Beast Bombs in an attempt to strike at the three figures it had seen earlier.
However, having lost all sense of direction, it misfired—one of the bombs exploded right beneath its feet, and the resulting shockwave sent its entire body flying!
"Fugaku-senpai!" Makoto took a deep breath and called out to Fugaku.
In its frenzy, Kyuubi gradually regained a semblance of vision.
The surroundings were no longer as painfully bright, but everything was still blurry.
Through the haze, it vaguely saw an enormous, blood-red eye, with three spinning black tomoe within it.
That eye—so familiar.
The sight alone sent shivers down its spine, reminding it of a human it had feared decades ago!
It tried to escape but found itself completely restrained, unable to move a single inch.
On the ground, Minato stood over the prepared sealing formation, performing the necessary hand signs while keeping a watchful eye on Kyuubi.
"Time to go back where you belong, Kyuubi!"
