In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 166 One slash, and the nine tails collapsed like a mountain.

No.

and so.

Naoki Kaguya watched the raging flames of war in Konoha Village and the Tailed Beast Ball that seemed about to fall.

Now is the perfect time for me to make my move.

Corpse Bone Vein: Dance of the Iron Wire Flower

Go to hell, go to hell.

Jiraiya, who is always calm and composed and always maintains his composure when facing enemies, is somewhat irritable today.

but.

The Seven-Tails is no ordinary ninja, and it's almost impossible for Jiraiya to defeat him in a short time, even with his power.

It has already been suppressed.

Jiraiya's lips curled slightly.

Just hang in there a little longer, and soon, very soon, we'll be able to completely seal the Seven-Tails.

what! !

Fearful shouts came from behind Jiraiya.

Jiraiya immediately turned around to look.

Nine tails!

not good.

How did the Nine-Tails get to this position?

Could it be that the old man is already...?

Calm down, calm down, maybe the old man has already escaped.

I must go back immediately.

No.

Tailed beast jade!
Jiraiya couldn't help but show a look of pity.

He knew it was too late.

And even if we make it in time, what then?
That's a Tailed Beast Ball! It's an absolutely irresistible power. If it were to fall into the center of the village like that, how many deaths and injuries would it cause?

No.

Perhaps from today onwards, we will no longer need to consider the issue of death and injury, and whether Konoha will continue to exist is just wishful thinking.

Those despicable bastards from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Takigakure villages, I will definitely wipe you all out!
Jiraiya unleashed a bloodthirsty killing intent.

He was prepared for the destruction of Konoha.

In the future, he will do everything in his power to wipe out all the bastards who have attacked Konoha!

call!
call!
Rumor?

Jiraiya had already turned around, but he was still very sensitive to the situation in Konoha behind him.

Did he hear the wind?

The sound of tearing wind?

Jiraiya turned around and looked back.

Then, he saw the very familiar pale blue ice mirror and the very familiar white jade skeleton.

The bones, resembling both a knife and a sword, expanded in the blink of an eye after being swung, becoming a sword or knife that was hundreds of meters long and the size of a mountain.

Or perhaps a cauldron?

Just as Jiraiya was still struggling with this question, what he saw out of the corner of his eye made him gape.

The bone swung down.

It was as if a mountain had collapsed.

It was as if the sky were collapsing.

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded in the sky under the attack of the bones, producing a surging sound and a storm.

Boom!

These are absolutely terrifying fireworks.

A mushroom cloud exploded directly above Konoha Village.

Everyone instinctively looked up and covered their eyes.

Then, just as they were able to break free from their fear of this power and struggle to open their eyes, they suddenly discovered...

Throughout the entire territory of Konoha Village, countless buildings were destroyed by the aftershocks.

Splattered debris, injured people.

Help!
The Konoha ninjas snapped out of their daze and immediately joined the rescue effort.

Even as they were carrying out the rescue, they couldn't help but look up at the lingering aftershocks in the sky.

They couldn't imagine what kind of apocalyptic scene would occur if such a Tailed Beast Ball fell into Konoha!
It's still moving; the bones are still moving.

Someone shouted, drawing the attention of many Konoha ninja once again.

The bones continued their attack, preparing to strike the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Is it really possible?
The Konoha ninjas couldn't help but stop and look at what was happening before them.

Even though they all knew that the ninjas were from Kirigakure and were their absolute enemies, they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Because the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball had already posed a definite threat of death to them, while Kaguya Naoki had not.

People always tend to have wishful thinking.

Do not!
The bone slashed down on the Nine-Tailed Fox's head, but its momentum faltered. Clearly, the Nine-Tailed Fox had blocked the attack with its claws and teeth.

Yes.

After shattering the most terrifying attack in the world, what will those bones use to fight the Tailed Beasts?

Do you really think the Tailed Beasts are made of clay?

Look!

A Konoha ninja exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the dark sky.

Everyone looked up.

The skeleton that was already so strong it seemed to support a whole day was still not at its limit.

With the infusion of Kaguya Naoki's chakra, the mountain continued to grow larger and heavier!
the most important is.

A faint gray tinge had even begun to entwine around the bones.

Just as that gray hue reached above the Nine-Tailed Fox's finger, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had been putting up a stubborn resistance, seemed to be suddenly struck by something.

All defenses have vanished.

Hehehe!
With an indescribable, piercing shriek, the Nine-Tails was slammed heavily onto the ground outside Konoha Village.

The giant skeleton was still there, as if it wanted to teach the Nine-Tails a lesson!
The mountain pressed down on the massive Nine-Tails as it crashed down onto the land of Konoha.

Kurama tried desperately to lift its body, but Kaguya Naoki did not loosen his grip on that bone.

bang bang bang!
Each struggle of the Nine-Tails was like a meteorite falling to the ground, bringing tremendous impact.

The entire earth was shaking violently.

It was just like an earthquake!
but.

Even as the civilians and ninjas of Konoha staggered under the attack, they couldn't wait to show their joy and excitement.

Even the most foolish person could see that the Nine-Tails had lost, utterly lost!

it is good!
Jiraiya clenched his fist and looked at the Seven-Tails, which was still soaring in the sky but was firmly entangled by him outside the village.

As long as I can work hard to make it happen.

Wait, who is that?

Jiraiya strained his eyes to look at the figure moving through the air, finding it somewhat familiar.

Is it Nagato?
It's Nagato!
Jiraiya suddenly became excited. Nagato was his disciple, and a ninja with the Rinnegan who could fly. As long as he made a move, the Seven-Tails would be easy to capture.

Nagato has made his move.

Jiraiya smiled. This should dispel the attacks targeting Konoha.

Soon, that expression turned gloomy again.

Has Nagato truly and completely sided with Kirigakure?

What am I thinking?

Jiraiya let out another breath.

The future of Konoha has become uncertain; they might even side with that guy Kaguya Naoki. Why should I be harsh on my disciple? With this thought in mind, Jiraiya understood and charged forward.

What we need to do now is take down the Seven-Tails as soon as possible!
"What's going on!? Why is a flying ninja approaching the Seven-Tails?"

"Reconnaissance squad, I need all his information."

The Iwagakure Jonin watched the rampaging Nine-Tails while also observing the battle with the Seven-Tails, his expression filled with worry.

"Reporting to the Jonin, there is no information about him."

"How is this possible! How could such a flying ninja suddenly appear!"

The Iwagakure ninja were furious, and the battle had reached its climax. Destroying Konoha and completely taking it over was no longer an unimaginable thing.

But what if?
"Not a good Jonin, look there."

"Is that Kaguya Naoki?"

The Iwagakure Jonin suddenly straightened up. From his vantage point, which allowed him to overlook the entire battlefield, the suddenly appearing ice mirror was quite conspicuous.

That was a technique that no ninja in the entire ninja world responsible for intelligence would not recognize—an ice mirror placed in the sky.

In the entire ninja world, there is only one person who can place an ice mirror in the air, and that is Kaguya Naoki!
Only Kaguya Naoki could do that.

For some inexplicable reason, the Iwagakure Jonin felt a sudden panic.

No way.

Will Naoki Kaguya intervene?

He won't make a move, will he?

A sense of foreboding welled up in the heart of the Iwagakure ninja.

That's not right.

The ninja who controlled the tailed beast should be Uchiha Shisui from Kirigakure; it couldn't be him.

He really made a move!

Still targeting the Nine-Tails!
The Iwagakure ninja were furious.

If there is anyone in the world who can stop the Nine-Tails, the Tsuchikage is undoubtedly one of them, and the other one is Kaguya Naoki!
"Reconnaissance squad, continue reconnaissance immediately on the situation of the confrontation between Kaguya Naoki and the Nine-Tails!"

"Captain! No need for reconnaissance! Look!"

The ninja from the reconnaissance squad stared wide-eyed, his whole body trembling as he pointed at the sword mountain that, even at this distance, was still incredibly huge and magnificent.

At this very moment, it is charging downwards at an astonishing speed, slashing at the Tailed Beast Ball.

That Tailed Beast Ball, representing absolute power, was detonated prematurely by the blade's slash!
The terrifying shockwave and its aftershocks obscured the Iwagakure ninjas' vision, and even the distorted light within it caused them to close their eyes.

Even so, the Jonin of Iwagakure still couldn't help but fly into a rage.

So how did a Tailed Beast Ball get destroyed in the first place?

Everyone has heard that the Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast, so how come the tailed beast ball it condensed is so easily defeated!
Looking at it this way, doesn't it suggest that Kaguya Naoki might have the ability to suppress the Nine-Tails?

No, no.

The Iwagakure ninja were as anxious as ants on a hot pan; at this crucial moment, they absolutely could not allow any mistakes to occur.

"Look, Jonin, look!"

As the dust settled and the distorted mist from the shockwave dissipated, the ninja in the reconnaissance squad witnessed another scene that utterly shocked him.

The blade didn't stop; it pressed straight down towards the Nine-Tails.

mountain.

Those are two mountains.

One is white, and the other is red.

The collision of the two mountains should have been a clash of titans, like Mars colliding with Earth, with both sides evenly matched.

Unexpectedly, it was a complete and utter crushing defeat!
The white mountain collapsed onto the Nine-Tails, causing a huge wound.

A terrifying roar, along with the dust kicked up by the Nine-Tails' injury and pain, came into everyone's view.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails, no longer relying on its body's instincts to restrain its chakra, was finally detected by all the sensory ninjas. In the center of the dust, a terrifying chakra emitted unparalleled fluctuations.

How scary.

The Iwagakure ninjas couldn't help but swallow hard, then they looked at the white skeleton.

If such terrifying chakra was completely suppressed, then just how terrifying is the power emanating from this bone?
And that one too.

The Iwagakure ninjas looked at the man wielding the enormous white bone sword, the man who seemed to be pressing down from the sky.

A man who almost turned night into day.

The fourth Mizukage, Kaguya Naoki.

Did he really give it his all?

The Iwagakure Jonin wore a look of despair.

"not good."

"Tailed beast!"

The Jonin from Iwagakure were initially confident of victory, believing that even if the Tailed Beasts were temporarily captured by Konoha, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now.

If Kaguya Naoki were to intervene in their war with Konoha, there would be absolutely no chance of victory.

Clearly, none of the Iwagakure ninjas who participated in this war were cowards; they all grasped the crux of the problem.

"Why don't we attack him!"

"Find a way to frame Konoha and stir up trouble once again."

The Iwagakure Jonin's expression changed drastically, his usual composure gone.

"Absolutely not. He possesses the Byakugan, and we must immediately reclaim control of the Tailed Beast."

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

While directing the Iwagakure ninja to continue their operation, the Iwagakure Jonin couldn't help but glance at the ninja still standing atop the Nine-Tails' body, wanting to memorize everything.

He wanted to remember all of this so that he could hand it over to the Tsuchikage, who would then make the most correct judgment.

but.

This is really puzzling.

Wouldn't a weakened and destroyed Konoha be a good thing for everyone?
Why did Naoki Kaguya make this choice?
What does he really want?
"Retreat! Retreat!"

"Stop fighting."

The Cloud Village ninjas were still charging towards the Leaf Village's position with high morale, but due to the presence of the Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails, they were deterred.

But when they saw the white skeletons that suddenly appeared in the sky, and the man named Invincible, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they still held considerable expectations for the Nine-Tails.

The strongest tailed beast, the most terrifying tailed beast ball, might be able to make Kaguya Naoki understand what the strongest weapon truly is.

but.

This expectation was quickly and completely shattered once again.

Naoki Kaguya's white bones completely shattered the Tailed Beast Ball and pressed it downwards.

Is it really that simple?

That's a nine-tailed fox!

No, no!
There's also a second tail!

The commander of the Hidden Cloud Village was sweating profusely.

If they abandon the Two-Tails here, they will be at a disadvantage in future wars.

Go find the Two-Tailed Beast!
As the Nine-Tails' struggles weakened, more and more gazes shifted from initial shock to gradual calm.

The question is one that everyone wants to know.

Why did the Mizukage of Kirigakure sneak into Konoha and bring about a new life for the village, which was on the verge of death?

What exactly is his purpose?
Is he a reinforcement who temporarily sided with Konoha for some reason, or is he a third-party force with its own interests, forced to appear only because of the sudden actions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure?

At this moment, no Konoha ninja dared to regard Kaguya Naoki, who had suddenly appeared there, as an ally.

Even Jiraiya, who had many interactions with Kaguya Naoki, was unable to ascertain the other party's specific intentions.

However, since Nagato is here...

At least one thing is certain: Kaguya Naoki would never do anything to betray peace.

At least that's what happens on the surface.

After all, Nagato isn't the kind of person who would act for personal gain.
