Chapter 418 A Soulslike Game: The Powerful Protagonist Can Be Easily Killed by a Minion.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

Like the creaking of an old wooden hinge, the wooden figure's shoulders rippled, the trees grew, and quickly coalesced into two additional wooden figures, changing their appearance.

His originally honest yet slightly fierce face transformed into that of a three-headed, six-armed Yaksha King in Buddhist statues, looking like a ferocious demon.

The four-tailed beast witnessed this, swinging its two pillar-like arms towards the wooden dummy. The five-tailed beast also lowered its head and rammed its horned head into the wooden dummy.

"Bang bang bang~"

The wooden figure held the four-tailed beast's two arms in its grip, and the five-tailed beast's two horns were also held by the wooden figure. The wooden figure's last two hands grabbed the faces of the four-tailed beast and the five-tailed beast respectively. Under the wooden figure's immense strength, the faces of the four-tailed beast and the five-tailed beast were deformed into a very ferocious shape.

Standing atop the wooden dummy's head, Tatsuma was straining to channel his chakra. Judging from his clenched teeth, he was clearly exerting himself greatly. He looked at the Four-Tails and said:

"Come on! Today I'll be the vanguard, and use your head, you rascal, as a drinking snack! The flesh and blood of the tailed beasts must taste delicious, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails seemed to have guessed something and began to struggle frantically, with wooden blocks falling down. Tatsuma's face turned increasingly red, but he still managed to capture the two tailed beasts alive.

At this moment, the left side of the wooden man's head also moved, taking a bite at the top of the four-tailed beast's head.

"Click click click~"

Despite being a head formed from chakra, the wooden golem made a realistic sound of bones breaking when it was bitten, and even splattered blood. However, the blood landing on the Four-Tails' fiery red fur didn't look out of place at all.

"Boom!"

The wooden doll's arm, which was clamping down on the Four-Tails, and the wooden doll's head, which was gnawing at the Four-Tails, suddenly burst into flames. The flames were fierce, and if left unattended, the part of the wooden doll that was in contact with the Four-Tails would soon be carbonized and fall off.

But Chenma didn't have any extra energy at this point; he could only pour more of his physical energy into keeping the wooden figure alive.

"Waaah~"

Steam kept spewing from the nostrils of the five-tailed beast, and the wooden doll, scalded by the steam, had its wood fibers constantly breaking at the injured areas.

Tatsuma could only keep resisting, and finally the wooden doll's head, which had been set ablaze by the flames, was raised high, and a piece of flesh was torn off the Four-Tailed Beast by the wooden doll.

As the wooden doll chewed and swallowed, Tatsuma suddenly felt the pressure decrease. It seemed that the flesh of the four tails was no longer as hot as magma, and the ignited flames no longer seemed to be able to harm the wooden doll.

Tatsuma knew that this was a characteristic of Wood Release. Wood Release was able to absorb the enemy's chakra, and the Four-Tails' ability to ignite trees with such intense heat was ultimately a chakra-based technique.

The wooden golem that absorbed the Four-Tails' chakra naturally developed resistance to it. This resistance would not disappear until Tatsuma's Wood Release consumed or transferred the absorbed Four-Tails' chakra.

As he exerted force, Tatsuma's eyes grew increasingly bloodshot. He stared at the four tails, whose eyes showed fear, and controlled the wooden doll to bite down again.

On the other side, the Five-Tails, with its hard horns, was difficult to attack from the top of its head. So Tatsuma used the three wooden doll arms that were restraining the Five-Tails to forcefully press its head down, while the right side of the wooden doll's head also bit towards the back of the strange horse's neck.

Tatsuma's idea was validated once again. As the Five-Tails' flesh and blood were swallowed by the Wood Golem, the damage that the Five-Tails' Boil Release brought to the Wood Golem continued to decrease, leaving only the impact of steam, but that could not shake the Wood Golem at all.

"Buzzing~"

Even the Wood Man's breath turned into steam, and to the astonishment of the Five-Tails, Konoha resumed its meal.

The four-tailed and five-tailed creatures are both extremely large. At this moment, they have only condensed into heads, shoulders, and forelimbs. The wooden golems, which are about the same size as them, cannot eat quickly. However, Tatsuma is not in a hurry.

The sudden drop in pressure, along with the Four-Tails and Five-Tails' struggle to reduce their power, greatly alleviated his chakra output.

Tatsuma suddenly glanced south, but quickly looked away.

"Is that the most powerful creature in the ninja world—the Tailed Beast?"

From the south, two boys and a girl came from south to north. Upon seeing this scene, the purple-haired girl couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"I feel like that three-headed, six-armed guy is even more terrifying than a tailed beast."

The orange-haired boy had to hold onto a large tree to avoid falling over in fright. The red-haired boy at the back spoke up, asking, "Yahiko, Konan, are you sure we want to continue?"

Yahiko steadied himself, removed his hand from the tree, and said firmly, "Of course, Nagato! This is our chance! If we can win over the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, not only can the Land of Rain quickly achieve peace and stability, but other countries can too!"

Yahiko didn't notice that Nagato behind him was trembling all over, and his eyes, which were like the cross-section of an onion, were also trembling under his bangs.

Xiao Nan also failed to notice her companion's unusual behavior, after all, the scene before her was simply too dazzling.

Looking at the two tailed beasts being devoured, she said, "But... let alone trying to win over those two Jinchūriki, we don't even have the right to interfere in their battle, do we?"

Xiao Nan suspected that if they dared to get any closer, the aftershocks would be enough to kill the three of them, and the scene before them was different from the information they had received.

Their intelligence indicated that Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, led Konoha scouts out of Iwagakure and fled back to the Land of Fire, while Iwagakure dispatched two Jinchūriki, Rōshi and Han, to lead the team.

Then, within the village, along with thousands of Iwa ninja conscripted along the way, they surrounded and intercepted Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, and a group of Konoha spies. But where was the person in front of them?

"I'll figure something out."

Yahiko said firmly, and both Konan and Nagato, who had calmed down and didn't know why they had been so emotional just now, knew what Yahiko's so-called solution was.

That means coming forward openly and honestly, and then just showing up first and talking about it later.

With a sincere heart, Yahiko did indeed recruit many people, and even persuaded both sides in the conflict to shake hands and make peace together.

However, the premise for their previous actions was that even if they couldn't reach an agreement, they still had the ability to defeat the enemy or at least protect themselves. But what about facing such a terrifyingly powerful opponent?

In the center of the battlefield, as the Four-Tails and Five-Tails continued to shrink in size and their resistance weakened, the Wood Golem began to eat faster and faster. The two tailed beasts, only the size of the Wood Golem's fist, suddenly transformed into intangible chakra and tried to return to the Jinchuriki's body.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Splash splash splash~"

Seeing the two chakra balls rushing towards Rōshi and Han, Tatsuma snorted, and the Vajra Chains emerged from his body, wrapping around the six hands of the wooden golem. The wooden golem also swung its palm again, grabbing at the chakra.

This time, even the intangible chakra was suddenly seized. The Four-Tails and Five-Tails that the chakra manifested no longer showed any anger or ferocity; all that remained was killing intent.

Tatsuma controlled the wooden puppet and pulled hard, drawing more tailed beast chakra from Rōshi and Han's bodies. The two tailed beasts, which were originally only the size of the wooden puppet's fist, grew slightly larger, but it was no use.

For the wooden man, it was simply an upgrade from two meat buns to a set meal of two large meat buns.

「叮~【忍+7012】、【力+6958】、【体+6697】、【精+6527】、【速+4396】、【印+4002】，是否拾取？」

"Ding~ [Strength +444], [Endurance +444], [Spirit +444], [Constitution +444], [Samadhi Fire (Sun Wukong Limited Edition)], pick up?"

「叮~【力+555】、【忍+555】、【精+555】、【体+555】、【速+555】、【怪力无双（穆王限定款）】，是否拾取？」

After swallowing the last wisp of Five-Tails chakra, a series of announcements rang in Tatsuma's mind. He frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the amount of the reward, but because there was no "Wisdom" among them.

The absence of [illusion] was within his expectations, and the absence of [wisdom] meant that his actions this time involved absolutely no use of wisdom? However, it seems that is indeed the case.

Tatsuma silently recited "pick up" in his mind, and then roughly looked at the information of "Samadhi Fire" and "Unparalleled Strength". In fact, they were Lava Release and Boil Release, but their use was different from that of humans in these two bloodline limits.

"Tatsuma, what should we do with Han and Rōshi?"

Minato's voice brought Tatsuma back to his senses. Minato noticed Tatsuma's absent-mindedness but assumed it was due to exhaustion. He asked Tatsuma for his opinion, intending to help him clean up the mess.

"Let's erase the traces of Wood Release first."

Chenma shook his head to clear his mind. The burning sensation in his body made him uncomfortable. He clapped his hands together to concentrate.

"Celestial Technique!"

After activating his Sage Chakra, Tatsuma didn't know which technique to use, because he had absolutely no chakra left to erase the traces of the wooden doll beneath him.

But soon, Tatsuma came up with a solution. He was out of chakra, but the Wood Demon had plenty of chakra. With that in mind, the chakra in his body finally had a destination.

Controlling the wooden figure to form hand seals, Tatsuma activated a technique whose classification was unclear.

"Celestial magic! Civil engineering!"

With only a limited amount of chakra, the wooden golem was used to draw upon the chakra of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. As the golem continued to disintegrate, a massive amount of chakra was injected into the ground, causing the earth to surge and churn instantly.

Unlike techniques like the Swamp of the Underworld that only affect the surface of the land, this technique uses immeasurable chakra to stir up the soil thousands of meters below. As the earth churns, the scattered wooden doll is gradually swallowed up by the earth.

It's like sprinkling a handful of icing sugar into a stand mixer to knead dough. As the dough rolls and mixes, the icing sugar is incorporated into every corner of the dough and can no longer be seen.

Upon landing again, Tatsuma staggered due to the aftershock, but Minato caught him. Tatsuma took a deep breath, and the faint, almost invisible sage mask on his face disappeared at that moment.

Minato pulled out a kunai, looked at Old Purple and Han, and said, "Shall we kill them?"

"Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing an unfamiliar voice, Minato instinctively threw a kunai, then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, catching the flying kunai with one hand and producing a chakra ball in the other.

Suddenly, just as Minato was about to execute the Flying Thunder God Technique II, his hand, which was supporting the Rasengan, was pulled back by another hand. The pull wasn't strong, but Minato still stopped, looking warily at the three unfamiliar ninjas before him, and said:

"They are Rain Ninja; we can't let them leak the secret."

Panting heavily, Tatsuma rolled his eyes. Minato was really fast; if he'd been a fraction slower and hadn't kept up, something bad would have happened. Tatsuma took a deep breath and said:

"Minato, are you planning to harm your fellow disciples?"
