(NSS)Chapter 79: Rampage
🕑 Added 2024-06-30 15:08:26 +0000 UTCKuma might be lazy most of the time but just like any other bear he could be absolutely terrifying when he decided he didn't like you. Even without his ability to turn sunlight into a beam of pure destruction the mere fact he was the size of a hill and all of it was muscle meant that when he stood up and roared you felt it. Baki had an ugly expression on his face and moved to dodge as Kuma slammed down his left paw in the location the guy was previously standing.-
The force alone shook the entire arena and sent cracks over the entire place as the center of the arena cratered and exploded.
"Try and keep the destruction to a minimum Kuma!" I commanded since otherwise the bear would choose to directly flatten the village if it meant he got the single ninja he was after.
Restraint was not something Kuma was good at but that was precisely why I summoned him, I didn't need restraint but pure power. I had read about the type of barrier currently being used to keep the old man contained with Orochimaru, [The four corners sealing barrier].-
The way it worked made it a tricky thing to take down in any reasonable amount of time. Basically it used four people to fuel it from the four corners in sort of isolation bubbles if you would. The trick however was that any attack was born by all four of these people which greatly reduces the amount of strain they experienced as a result. This meant there were two three main ways to get past the barrier and they each took a certain amount of time. The first was by having a seal master work to counter seal their way in which took the longest.-
The second was to effectively boil the barrier by bathing it in weak but constant attacks that over time caused an ever increasing buildup of strain on those fueling the barrier. The final option was the one I decided to take where you simply hit it as hard as possible as many times as you could putting a massive amount of strain on those fueling it if you were hitting hard enough. If there was one thing that Kuma and I had plenty of it was raw power.-
Anyways I didn't just sit still while Kuma tried to kill the elite Jonin from Suna but was currently releasing the seals I had on to keep my strength under control. They were specifically made to be difficult to remove so that they didn't accidentally slip off while I trained or was in combat but that was getting in the way at the moment. I couldn't exactly be blamed either as I wasn't expecting that I'd NEED to take them off in the village but here we are. I had already gotten the first two off which released my strength up to seventy five percent and I was on the last two that held off the last twenty five percent.-
Kuma's biggest weakness was starting to rear it's head though as the Suna Shinobi discovered that he was slow for all that power. Not to the point were he wasn't a serious threat but to the point it was totally possible to dodge his attacks that were well telegraphed. As a result Kuma was wrecking the arena in an attempt to crush the annoying shinobi while everyone had already been evacuated by the Konoha shinobi that I woke up.-
The rest of the village wasn't doing so hot either as shinobi clashed in the streets while citizens hid. The damage was being kept to a minimum but we were on the backfoot since we were trying to fight off the enemies while also preventing civilian casualties. My beasts though were proving their value as they slaughtered their way through the enemies in the village brutally. Shiro left frozen statue corpses while Mizuhe and Akasha sliced up the bodies in an instant with assassination style attacks. My hawk and Kiba(the wolfdog) harassed the enemies with wind blades and lightning fast attacks respectively.-
My cat, snake and turtle were all working with the village shinobi to protect the evacuating citizens while Ren was with the sheep running interference on the shinobi that had been waiting to attack from the surrounding forests. It was blowing up and killing the trees but that was a small price to pay to stall any enemy reinforcements. The sheep's ability was nightmarish to face in a place like the surrounding forest where it could step on any branch, patch of grass, rock or tree multiple times as it ran through the area. Even worse was that unless you were a sensor you'd never know unless you activated one or saw where the sheep stepped.-
Ren wasn't much better as a massive scorpion that was flooding the surrounding forest with poison mist. Even if you used an antidote for the poison it was still corrosive and that meant you still had an issue just being exposed to the stuff over time. Konoha didn't just have me and my beasts though but hundreds of jonin and chunin all fighting fiercely for their home. The only people suspiciously absent however were the root shinobi that followed Danzo Shimura as well as the Shimura clan.-
Anyways after running around for a whole minute to avoid Kuma's attacks Baki finally slipped up after the ref threw a kunai at him and got smashed into paste under Kuma's paw. At the same time I had gotten rid of my seals and was stretching in place to get reacquainted with my full power.
"To the barrier Kuma!" I called and my bear lumbered up the side of the arena onto the nearby roof that had the barrier on it. "Take it down!" I commanded as I jumped off his head.
The inside of the barrier was not looking good either as there was wood growths all over the place and the sound of fighting coming from within it. The barrier itself was still holding strong though even when Kuma started hitting it over and over again. I flickered over to one of the corners to peer in at the one fueling it which was a dude with multiple arms in this case. I took a wide solid stance and pulled back my fist while rotating my shoulder while the guy just held his handsign and watched with a mocking look that irritated me.
"KABOOM!"
The air exploded as I threw a full power punch right at the barrier that was in front of his face. The moment my fist struck the barrier that mocking look vanished as it was replaced with horror as a tiny crack appeared on the barrier for the briefest moment.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
I started hammering the barrier over and over again at full strength and sweat started to appear on the mans face as he and the other three dealt with the onslaught of power from Kuma and I. A scream rang out from the inner part of the barrier however and the four abandoned their posts to rush towards the source with me in hot pursuit.

Thanks for another very fun chapter and it’s great to see how effective all of his beasts are in protecting the village. Also, I imagine that seen the horrifying amount of strength he has terrifies the people watching. Lastly, if the Hokage survives, he could undoubtedly arrest Danzo as a traitor we’re not acting in defense of the village. Hell, maybe even the main character might smash him into paste for that.
