Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

"snort!"

Kakuzu snorted disdainfully, but gave Jiraiya face and then withdrew the masked monsters that his two hearts had transformed into.

Kakuzu turned his head, his eyes still showing apprehension towards the giant toad beneath Jiraiya's feet.

This giant summoning beast, just by standing there, makes ordinary ninjas lose their will to fight.

Even without using ninjutsu, Jiraiya could overwhelm Togashi with just the giant toads summoned from Mount Myōboku.

He had to admit that his forbidden technique, Earthly Grudge Fear, could indeed steal other people's hearts and grant them multiple lives.

But in the eyes of top-tier ninjas, it's nothing to mention.

With nowhere to vent his frustration, Kakuzu focused his attention on Konan.

Kakuzu couldn't stand it at first glance.

Because Xiao Nan's face clearly shows that she's a spendthrift woman who doesn't know how to manage a household.

I feel like I owed myself a lot of money in my past life.

"Woman, prepare to die!"

Kakuzu released even thicker black tentacles to grip the insect-marked pottery jar, intending to tear Konan's fragile paper and snatch the Seven-Tails away.

But Konan's Paper Release suddenly emitted an astonishing devouring power. As soon as Kakuzu's black tentacles touched Konan's paper shikigami, the chakra in his body was quickly devoured by the opponent.

Kakuzu quickly retracted his black tentacles, and a hint of joy flashed in Konan's eyes as she was about to accept the magical artifact that sealed the Seven-Tails.

But Kakuzu suddenly became angry.

"Jiraiya is one thing, but this little girl is so difficult to deal with. Is my old ship just outdated?"

Kakuzu releases two masked monsters from his body; these are the same masked monsters he previously released to attack his teammates.

One is a wind-attribute mask, and the other is a fire-attribute mask.

The two masks unleash a combined ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

Compound Ninja Technique: Strange Face Explosive Flame!

Fueled by the wind, the fire instantly transformed into a boundless, raging sea of ​​flames, several times larger than the area extinguished by Nagato's previous mighty fire.

The heatwave rolled down, and the entire sea of ​​fire, like a crimson tsunami, swept towards Xiao Nan's location.

Nearby, in Takigakure Village, the lake surrounded by the ancient Takigakure trees was engulfed in flames, with large plumes of white mist shooting into the sky, and the lake water visibly decreasing.

"Xiao Nan, get out of the way!"

Nagato, disregarding his battle with the Takigakure ninja, rushed towards Konan.

This combination of fire-style techniques is a forbidden fire-style technique, capable of easily burning down an entire forest.

The area was so vast that it resembled a wave of flames, covering hundreds of meters.

Some ninjas from Takigakure were included in this group.

"Oh no, the flames will burn the ancient tree!"

"Quickly, unleash Water Release to protect the ancient tree!"

But the Takigakure ninjas were more worried about the ancient Takigakure tree next to them.

This is the sacred tree that produces the Hero's Water, the most precious thing in Takigakure Village.

If it weren't for the shortage of manpower when Kakuzu defected back then, they would definitely have taken this ancient tree with them.

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Konan quickly retrieved her shikigami and flew away like a butterfly from the range of the Kakuzu Monster's explosive flames.

The material for Paper Release is paper, which is naturally afraid of being burned by fire. However, Konan's Paper Release is specially treated by covering the paper with chakra to prevent the flames from burning.

Konan's Paper Release is immune to ordinary flames, but Kakuzu's intense Fire Release could destroy the chakra on her paper in an instant.

Therefore, it is not possible to defeat them by force.

With Konan retreating, the clay pot sealing the Seven-Tails will now face Kakuzu's blazing attack.

"Father--"

Shibuki was watching the battle from the woods behind, but he was soon caught in the flames from Kakuzu's attack and cried out for his father in fear.

"Shibuki—"

The leader of Takigakure was shocked to see that Shibuki had not evacuated to a safe place with the villagers. He rushed forward, trying to rescue his son.

but--

"Cough cough cough..."

The leader of Takigakure coughed up blood; the burst of Hero's Water had ended, and the intense side effects began to erode his body.

The leader of Takigakure collapsed, too weak to even stand up.

At the critical moment, a young ANBU member carrying a ninja sword instantly rushed into the sea of ​​fire, quickly carrying Shibuki away from the attack.

The clay pot used to seal the Seven-Tails was specially made by Takigakure. The internal seal was adequate, and the external structure could withstand the ninjutsu of a Jonin.

However, it's no match for the combined ninjutsu of a Kage-level powerhouse like Kakuzu.

The insect-marked pottery jar was burned open by Kakuzu's intense flames, and then a suffocating burst of chakra exploded, shattering the pottery artifact into countless pieces of broken pottery.

buzzing-

A deep, hoarse voice echoed beneath the ancient tree of Takigakure, like countless insect wings flapping at high speed.

Immediately, a gigantic beetle-tailed beast of enormous size shot into the sky from the sea of ​​fire, stirring up a storm that easily dispersed Kakuzu's inferno.

Jiraiya shielded himself from the raging wind with his hand, peering through the gaps between his fingers at the six-winged behemoth that blotted out the sky.

"The Seven-Tails—it's broken free!"

Immediately, everyone's attention on the battlefield focused on the beetle-tailed beast.

From a distance, the Seven-Tailed Fox looks like a blue-gray rhinoceros beetle with a huge, sharp protrusion on its head.

It has a long tail trailing behind it.

It has three pairs of huge orange-brown wings on its back, distributed like leaf veins.

When its six wings are spread out, they blot out the sky, and each flap can stir up a gale.

"hiss--"

The seven-tailed creature let out a sharp cry, like a cicada's chirping a hundred times amplified, or like the piercing shriek of metal being forcibly twisted.

The shockwave made the eardrums of the ninjas watching below ache, and many of them instinctively covered their ears with their hands.

Among the nine tailed beasts, the Seven-Tailed Choumei has a relatively optimistic and cheerful personality, and it often mentions the number seven when introducing itself.

She calls herself "Lucky Seven-Tailed Fox," because the number seven is considered lucky by the Seven-Tailed Fox.

Because it can fly, it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to capture the Seven-Tails, and they will not disturb its life.

If anyone tries to bother it, it will run away with a flap of its wings. It is a gentle, optimistic and cheerful tailed beast.

In the original story, he also became good friends with his jinchūriki, Rikifu.

However, even the most cheerful tailed beast will have a temper after being sealed by Takigakure for so many years. Once the Seven-Tails is released, it will give the humans who have imprisoned it for so long a good beating.

Black and white Zetsu emerged from a branch of the ancient tree of Takigakure.

White Zetsu looked at the furious Seven-Tails flying in the sky, then glanced at the powerful ninjas on the ground who could still maintain their composure under the pressure of the Seven-Tails' tailed beast chakra.

Jiraiya, along with his summoned beast, Kakuzu, and a black-haired boy from the Konoha Anbu carrying a ninja sword.

"The Legendary Sannin Jiraiya, the S-rank rogue ninja Kakuzu, and that Konoha Anbu member—their chakra isn't blue, it's emerald green. They're not exactly ordinary people either."

Black Zetsu agreed: "And there's the Seven-Tails that's broken free. Nagato and Konan won't be able to handle it. Let's call Ryougo over!"

"good!"

White Zetsu then used the unique telepathic connection between White Zetsu to connect with Liao Wu's chakra source.
