Chapter 126 Four Tails And Five Tails!
🕑 Added 2025-04-24 10:36:03 +0000 UTCIn the chaos of the battlefield, a pillar of crimson light suddenly burst into the sky.
Violent chakra surged upward, forming a blazing red column.
"This is...!"
"A Tailed Beast!"
Minato instantly recognized the source of the power.
To counter Konoha's assault, Rock Shinobi had actually unleashed a tailed beast onto the battlefield.
Without hesitation, Minato shouted,
"Everyone, fall back immediately!"
The berserk crimson chakra surged across the field like a tsunami.
"It's the Rock Shinobi's Lava Style user, Roshi!"
Kato Dan quickly arrived at Minato’s side, face grim.
Just as victory seemed near, the sudden appearance of a Tailed Beast threatened to completely upend the war.
Roshi’s transformation was rapid—his body engulfed by the violent chakra of the tailed beast.
His figure swelled rapidly until a giant red-furred ape stood in his place, its four thick tails thrashing behind it.
The creature's body was covered in bulging muscle, its mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, and two sharp horns protruded from its forehead.
"Tch… Four Tails, Son Gokū…" Minato muttered, eyes serious.
The next second, the beast opened its mouth wide and spat out a barrage of molten rocks, like a volcano erupting across the battlefield.
Even Rock Shinobi soldiers weren’t spared from the onslaught.
Roshi had been completely consumed by the Four Tails. The beast now had only one thought—kill every human in sight!
The raining magma plunged the entire battlefield into chaos. Explosions echoed everywhere.
“You cover the retreat!” Minato ordered Kato Dan. “I’ll deal with this guy.”
Aside from Simu, he was the only one present with the power to restrain a Tailed Beast.
Kato Dan nodded firmly.
“Understood.”
Now was not the time to hesitate.
Minato vanished in a flicker, reappearing mid-air before the Four Tails.
"Hey! Son Gokū! I’m right here!"
As he hovered, he hurled a kunai straight toward the beast's eyes.
The Four Tails glared at it—and the blade melted instantly in the intense heat radiating from its gaze.
Seeing this tiny human dare provoke it, the Four Tails let out a deafening roar and lashed its tail at him.
Minato dove out of the sky, just narrowly dodging the blow, and reappeared behind the Tailed Beast.
With a flick of his wrist, a Rasengan spun to life in his hand.
A flicker of confusion crossed the Four Tails’ face.
Where did the tiny one go?
Before it could react, Minato slammed the Rasengan into one of its tails.
Boom!
A sharp jolt of pain tore through the Four Tails’ body. It turned with a snarl, its fur igniting with flames. Magma dripped from its form and sizzled against the earth.
Minato immediately warped away, using Flying Thunder God to gain distance.
Of course, the beast wasn’t going to let this ant escape so easily.
It stomped the ground with thunderous force and launched itself at Minato.
Thankfully, Minato’s teleportation allowed him to keep his distance with ease. He planned to keep the beast distracted until he could remove it from the battlefield.
But then—another pillar of dark red chakra erupted into the sky.
“Damn it! Has Rock Shinobi gone insane?! They sent two Tailed Beasts into battle?!”
Minato couldn’t help but curse.
Every tailed beast was a priceless asset to a great nation. They’d never deploy them unless there was no other option.
But now—Rock Shinobi had sent both of theirs.
In fact, back in Iwagakure, Ōnoki was nearly tearing his hair out.
The two Jinchūriki had vanished from the village without saying a word.
Back on the battlefield—
Another massive beast emerged: the Five Tails, Kokuō.
And it was already in a state of uncontrollable rage.
Kokuō resembled a towering white horse with two horns. Its element was Boil Style.
Superheated steam erupted from its body at incredible speed, instantly incinerating nearby Konoha shinobi.
Not only that—it skillfully used the steam to boost its own speed, dashing across the battlefield like a locomotive and ramming enemies with its massive horns.
Unfortunately, it materialized right next to Kakashi’s team.
“Damn… this thing’s right on us,” Kakashi muttered, face tense.
They didn’t stand a chance of outrunning it.
Within seconds, the beast was on them.
Obito stood in front of Kakashi and Rin for a moment.
"Go first, I'll block it!"
Although Obito is usually calm and collected, when it comes to the critical moments, he is truly willing to sacrifice for his comrades.
He turned to Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, Rin will be your responsibility in the future."
Obito grinned, then turned around resolutely.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique!"
He gathered all his strength, and a massive fire dragon roared out, crashing into the oncoming Five Tails.
However, at this moment, how could Obito possibly be a match for a tailed beast?
Five Tails sprayed a large amount of water vapor from its nostrils, firmly blocking the fire dragon.
The sharp short horns on its head smashed forcefully, and the terrifying fire dragon was instantly shattered into countless flames.
With the power of steam enhancing its speed, Five Tails exploded forward with terrifying momentum.
It fell from the sky and slammed down onto the ground where Obito was standing.
Obito desperately dodged to the side, but he was still caught by the devastating shockwave.
The enormous force instantly shattered the ground, swallowing Obito like a vast abyss.
"Obito!"
Two hot tears slid down Rin’s face.
Kakashi held Rin with one arm, using the last of his Lightning Style Chakra to stimulate his body and ran toward the edge of the battlefield at full speed.
"Faster..."
"Hurry!"
Five Tails lifted its head.
A scarlet light flickered in its eyes.
If you looked closely, you would also see the three Tomoe slowly swirling in its Sharingan.
From the ruins where Obito had been buried, a figure slowly emerged from the ground.
The figure was surrounded by two green fang plants.
Half of the body was white, and the other half was black.
White Zetsu, on the left, laughed and said, "I didn’t expect Master Madara to be so generous this time and let us use two tailed beasts..."
Black Zetsu, the more composed of the two, replied, "All of this is to ensure the smooth implementation of Lord Madara’s plans."
"Yes, yes, you are the only one who can flatter him like that," White Zetsu remarked, not taking the comment seriously. He glanced at the battlefield, then added, "If that’s the case, it’s better to make things even more chaotic."
White Zetsu raised his arm, and two dark red Sharingan appeared on it.
Terrifying pupil power was released from the Sharingan.
It was with these two Sharingan that they had managed to sneak two Jinchūriki out of Rock Shinobi Village and onto the battlefield.
Otherwise, that old man, Onoki, would never have allowed these two Jinchūriki to appear on the battlefield simultaneously.
White Zetsu smirked as he looked at the chaotic battlefield.
The Sharingan on his arm spun wildly.
Five Tails seemed to sense something, and immediately opened its mouth.
Two strands of chakra, one light and one dark, entwined in front of it and gradually merged into a pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Go to hell!"
White Zetsu shouted frantically.
The Tailed Beast Bomb launched immediately, heading straight for the direction where Kakashi and Rin were escaping.
That direction was filled with thousands of Konoha ninjas!
"I can't escape."
Kakashi's face darkened.
Obito had just sacrificed his life to protect them.
And in the end, they still couldn't escape with Rin.
The other ninjas were equally grim.
There was no way, ordinary ninjas were powerless in the face of tailed beasts.
Against an attack of this level, no ninjutsu could possibly block it.
Just as everyone was beginning to lose hope, a golden figure suddenly appeared.
"Damn, I’m still a step too late."
Seeing that Obito had disappeared, Minato’s face was grim.
Simu had specifically asked him to keep an eye on these three kids before he left.
But no one had anticipated that Rock Shinobi would send two tailed beasts to this battlefield at the same time.
Minato spread his arms wide.
Dense magic seals were instantly released from his hands, engraved in the air like a spider’s web.
The Tailed Beast Bomb collided with the spiderweb-like magic circle with the force of a cannonball.
However, the expected massive explosion did not occur.
The Tailed Beast Bomb seemed to sink into the magic circle as though it had fallen into a quagmire, slowly being absorbed before vanishing entirely.
Minato waved his hand, and a kunai shot into the distance in an instant.
A massive magic circle bloomed above the kunai.
The Tailed Beast Bomb that had disappeared earlier reappeared from the magic circle.
A ray of light pierced through the sky.
The Tailed Beast Bomb detonated in an open field several kilometers away.
"Boom!"
The terrifying shockwave spread across the battlefield.
At this distance, it was impossible for any Konoha Shinobi to be harmed.
"As expected of the Yellow Flash..."
White Zetsu sighed from a distance.
Black Zetsu glanced at Minato from afar.
He extended his hand and scooped up Obito’s half-destroyed body.
"The target is already in hand. Let’s let the two tailed beasts make a bigger mess."
White Zetsu pouted, "Understood."
The Sharingan continued to spin, and Four Tails and Five Tails were controlled to target Minato.
