Naruto: From Novice to Grave

Chapter 320 - Great Battle Six: The Ten-Tails' First Form

From the outset, the coalition forces were plunged into a crisis of trust.

The command headquarters received reports from the intelligence squads of each combat unit immediately.

The number of enemies that became allied forces was not large, and the damage they caused was not significant, but they were disgusting. This made it impossible for the ninjas to fight with all their might, and they had to be constantly vigilant about all their teammates.

Who knows if they're still the same people?

The key point is that this is not an ordinary transformation technique. There is no way to detect anything unusual from appearance or chakra fluctuations, and there is no time to verify it through interrogation.

After a brief discussion, the command quickly came up with an emergency solution: ninjas who knew each other well could identify each other by asking about private matters that only the two parties knew.

Higashino knew this method was effective; when White Zetsu spores parasitized a target's body, they could indeed learn some of the ninja's secrets and habits.

However, this requires long-term observation of the spores during their dormancy period.

The White Zetsu army in this world lacked this very thing; after the Akatsuki obtained the Tailed Beasts, they had no time to implement their disguise plan.

The fact that Nagato could create a White Zetsu cybernetic army was already a testament to his creativity.

However, the command's method would still be a waste of time and not very safe. The best way would be to find and eliminate all the imposters at once.

Just then, a tremendous surge of energy erupted from the rapid support unit near the command post.

Soon, a figure enveloped in a pale yellow chakra aura flew over, like a god radiating a faint light.

Fortunately, the chakra aura was swirling and flying like fire, rather than erupting in a straight line outwards; otherwise, it would have truly resembled a Super Saiyan.

The newcomer's chakra felt warm and vast, like the difference between a small lake and the ocean compared to that of an ordinary ninja.

It is Naruto Uzumaki in Nine-Tails Mode.

The four Kage knew he was Minato's son, but the tailed beast's chakra was too dazzling, and they realized that the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was not the Hokage's wife at all, but his son.

The people of Konoha are incredibly cunning; they've actually pulled off this trick of using a fake Jinchuriki.

The Raikage could hardly believe it: "This feeling... this is... the most perfect Tailed Beast Chakra Mode?"

Upon hearing this, Onoki and the other two immediately understood that the strength of this son of the Hokage had probably reached a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Konoha is truly terrifying; there are so many powerful individuals who inspire despair, leaving no way for anyone to survive.

Minato didn't care about his identity as a Jinchuriki being exposed. Now that Naruto had surpassed him, he had enough power to protect himself.

He asked, "Naruto, what are you doing here? Did something happen to the support forces?"

"Dad, just now some enemies disguised as our people tried to sneak in and launch a surprise attack. I discovered that I can distinguish them by my sense of malice."

Minato: "Malicious perception can be used in such a wonderful way? Excellent! Next, go and find all the imposters, and be quick!"

Higashino Makoto: "Use multiple shadow clones, and the two of us will each take charge of half the battlefield. We'll meet up in the Fifth Combat Unit area in the north."

"Teacher, can you tell the difference too?"

"If you know these methods, why wouldn't I? Enough talk, let's get started."

"Okay, teacher!"

The two instantly created numerous shadow clones, which flew east and west to different combat areas.

After they left, the group of powerful figures in the command center also headed towards the Akatsuki base.

They believed it was time to face their final enemy—the Akatsuki leader who had resurrected the Ten-Tails, and the entity behind him, Madara Uchiha.

The battle continued, with ninjas and the remaining White Zetsu cybernetic bodies clashing in various locations around the Akatsuki base, but the allied forces fought cautiously.

Their eyes must not only be on the enemy's movements, but also on their own teammates.

The number of cybernetic legions had already been reduced by more than half after yesterday's battle, and the allied forces could have easily taken them down with a single swarm. However, now everyone is afraid to form teams again, which has severely slowed down the progress of the victory.

Higashino's numerous clones flew low over the battlefield, sensing the mental fluctuations of everyone below as they passed over it.

After locating the target, he didn't land. He swung his hands repeatedly, and black rods formed from Yin-Yang Release shot down from the sky at high speed, pinning the White Zetsu imposter to the ground.

As it turns out, the number of these White Zetsu that can disguise themselves is indeed small; in most areas of the battlefield divided into sections, there are only a dozen or so.

It seems that Nagato didn't have many White Zetsu that could move freely and had a certain level of intelligence; it was all due to insufficient time for their training.

But even such a small number made everyone suspicious.

After Higashino Makoto left, both sides in the battle were stunned for a moment. Looking at the traitor who had revealed his true form on the ground, they realized that this method of sowing discord had lost its effectiveness.

The allied ninjas were immediately roused to fight, regrouped, and charged towards the enemy with all their might.

The remaining and scattered White Zetsu cybernetic legion was no longer able to resist and was soon either killed or taken prisoner.

On the other side, Naruto dealt with it in a similar way. He flew low over the sky, and the chakra on his body, which was integrated with the Nine-Tails, extended into long energy arms, instantly crushing the White Zetsu imposter he sensed.

At this moment, he looked like an indescribable creature flying in the air, with strange tentacles growing from his body, indiscriminately slaughtering humans.

Fortunately, Naruto's chakra felt warm and full of life. The White Zetsu imposters he crushed fell to the ground and immediately revealed their true forms, which then grew into lush, green trees.

It's like a tree spirit that has now died and reverted to its original form.

Now everyone can finally relax completely, no longer worried about being betrayed by fake teammates.

The ninjas of Konoha all knew Naruto, and at this moment they were thinking to themselves: As expected of the Fourth Hokage's child.

Having resolved the trouble, Higashino and Naruto successfully reunited in the north and worked together to solve the problem there.

The remaining remnants of the cybernetic army here are like candles in the wind under the attack of the Fifth Legion of the Allied Shinobi Forces; it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

At that moment, the calm earth suddenly trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred.

But this wasn't an earthquake; it was the strongest Ten-Tails that had revived.

With a series of loud roars, the ground of the Akatsuki underground base in the central area, which already had a huge hole, was suddenly blown away.

The earth cracked open, and boulders were thrown about.

A tail-like object, far exceeding human imagination in size and height, swayed happily in the sky, as if it had been imprisoned for a long time and had finally seen the light of day.

It connects the sky and the earth, like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth.

Then came the second one, the third one —

Ten tails emerged from the ground, their tips sharp and pointing to the sky, writhing like a mythical monster destined to destroy the world.

Beneath its ten tails lies a massive, ugly body. It pushes aside the earth that binds it and crawls entirely onto the ground, revealing its true form.

During this process, the Ten-Tails continued to grow in size, and soon reached an unbelievable size.

The Ten-Tails, now fully revived, is as large as a small mountain. Humans appear tiny and pitiful in its presence, and facing the Ten-Tails evokes an overwhelming sense of fear of such a colossal creature.

Even from a great distance, Higashino and Naruto could clearly see the appearance of the Ten-Tails. Its entire body resembled that of a human, and it was crawling forward, with its hands and knees on the ground, as if it were kowtowing to someone.

The ten tails behind its rear end swayed wildly like octopus tentacles, making a whooshing sound, and a huge, sharp protrusion bulged on its back, shaped like a plump bamboo shoot.

This is the first form of the Ten-Tails after its resurrection.

At this moment, both the Allied Shinobi Forces and the remaining members of the White Zetsu prosthetic unit stared blankly at the suddenly appearing monster.

The ninjas had never seen such a huge tailed beast with terrifying and violent chakra.

"Are you kidding me? What is this thing?"

"Could this be the Ten-Tails? With a size like that, no ninjutsu would be effective against it, right?"

"Why do such monsters exist in our world?"

"I'm doomed, Haruna, I'm going to die, I'll never be able to come back and marry you!"

Faced with the Ten-Tails, most ninjas wouldn't even have the courage to get close, let alone fight it.

The White Zetsu cybernetic army is not White Zetsu; they are made up of people, ninjas from Amegakure and Otogakure. They had naturally seen the Gedo Mazo in the underground base.

That thing was already enormous, but I never expected it could get even bigger, more terrifying, and more active.

At this moment, even those without sensory abilities could feel the Ten-Tails' violent chakra fluctuations, which brought many people back to their senses.

God, can this thing really bring peace to the ninja world? Why can't we see any peace in it? Isn't it trying to wipe out all of humanity and destroy the ninja world?

Is the organization's so-called peace plan actually a plan to exterminate humanity?

If everyone died, the world would indeed be at peace, no doubt about it!
