Naruto: Mission Tsunade – Time for Uncle to Step Up!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gyūki's massive form emerged fully, directly crushing the surrounding houses until they collapsed.

With a turn, its tails behind it casually swept across, and most of the street was immediately flattened.

Dust was flying everywhere, and cries of distress rang out.

Terror slowly swept through the entire Kumogakure. The villagers in the distance who hadn't been affected yet began to move orderly towards the shelters.

Since the incident happened suddenly and there was too little time.

The villagers on this street hadn't managed to evacuate yet, and now the street was crowded with people.

The cries were extremely chaotic. The nearby Cloud Ninjas risked their lives to come and maintain order.

In the face of such a terrifying existence as Gyūki, only fear remained in the hearts of ordinary villagers.

The shadow of death hung over their hearts, refusing to fade away.

The top priority for the Cloud Ninjas now was to evacuate these villagers. The combat troops would come soon.

Gyūki waved its hands, and the buildings were like toys in its hands.

With a casual squeeze, they fell apart. It picked up the debris in its hands and threw it at the crowd on the street.

After being trapped for many years, it now only had destruction and killing in mind.

Several Cloud Ninjas used Lightning Release[b]Lightning Release[/b] to destroy the house debris. A Cloud Ninja who seemed to be the leader shouted out.

"Protect the women and children first. Let's go."

To protect the villagers, he braved his fear and cast aside all thoughts of life and death.

He led his subordinates and rushed towards Gyūki, trying to stop Gyūki's wanton destruction with their own strength.

Gyūki, several times taller than the houses, ignored their attacks and didn't even have the desire to defend.

These kunai and Lightning Release Ninjutsu[b]Lightning Release Ninjutsu[/b] hit its body, and not even a single wound appeared.

With a light sweep of its tail, these several Cloud Ninjas were directly swept dozens of meters away.

Without exception, they all perished!!

The powerful gale sent people reeling.

In front of the Tailed Beast, ordinary ninjas simply had no room to resist.

But after them, there were still Cloud Ninjas who rushed forward without hesitation.

It was all for the village and for the faith in their hearts!

"Monster, run away quickly!"

"Save my child."

"My leg is crushed. Who can pull me out?"

...

People kept running out of the houses, and there were more people buried under the ruins.

The attacks of these Cloud Ninjas not only failed to hurt Gyūki but also made it more and more irritable.

"Roar~"

Gyūki let out a loud roar. As it waved its hands, the substantial Tailed Beast Chakra[b]Tailed Beast Chakra[/b] gushed out.

All the incoming Cloud Ninjas were knocked flying. They couldn't even get close to Gyūki, let alone stop his actions.

Gradually, it seemed to grow weary of this mosquito - swatting - like killing.

It raised its huge head, and a large amount of chakra gathered in front of its mouth. A Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] quickly took shape.

"Damn it, it's a Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b]."

"We can't stop it."

"The village is going to be destroyed."

The Cloud Ninjas stared in horror, mouths agape, too terrified even to flee.

They watched helplessly as the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] shot towards the center of the village from Gyūki's mouth.

That was the direction of the Raikage Building. It sure knows how to pick its spot.

"Insolence!!"

With a fierce shout, a blue lightning bolt instantly collided with the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b].

"It's Lord Raikage."

"We're saved."

"Beat this monster to death."

...

Cloud Ninjas[b]Cloud Ninjas[/b] and villagers shouted out, showing the high prestige of the Raikage in the village.

At this moment, he was like a god in people's hearts, saving them from the clutches of danger.

Boom!!

A huge explosion rang out, and the violent wave of air[b]wave of air[/b] scattered in all directions.

Instantly, dust filled the explosion center, making it impossible to see what was happening.

Before the smoke had cleared, the blue lightning bolt rushed out of the smoke.

"Quickly transfer the villagers to the shelters[b]shelters[/b] and prepare the Barrier[b]Barrier[/b]."

This figure stopped not far from Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b]. It was the Third Raikage[b]Third Raikage[/b].

With a solemn look in his eyes, he stared at the fully - manifested Eight - Tailed Beast[b]Eight - Tailed Beast[/b], and his killing intent was hard to hide.

He was really a badass who could take Wind Release: Rasenshuriken[b]Wind Release: Rasenshuriken[/b] head - on. Bare - chested, not a single hair was harmed by the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b].

If Kawaki[b]Kawaki[/b] were still watching, he'd probably drool with envy at this kind of defense.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

Several Cloud Ninjas[b]Cloud Ninjas[/b] looked solemn and scattered. They would seize any opportunity to trap the Eight - Tailed Beast[b]Eight - Tailed Beast[/b].

Seeing the Raikage blast the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b], the Cloud Ninjas[b]Cloud Ninjas[/b] all let out a sigh of relief and then turned to continue helping the villagers with the Evacuation[b]Evacuation[/b].

Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b] also noticed the tiny black - haired figure in front of him.

It was this guy who had beaten him up many times. Now that he was finally out, it was time for revenge.

Without the slightest hesitation, the tentacles behind him swept towards the Raikage.

They were so fast that in the blink of an eye, they were in front of the Raikage.

The violent wind[b]wind[/b] made his cheeks ache, indicating that Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b] had struck out with hatred.

"Damn Konoha[b]Konoha[/b]!!"

The Raikage muttered a curse, already guessing it was Kawaki[b]Kawaki[/b] and Orochimaru[b]Orochimaru[/b] behind this.

He had thought they hadn't entered Kumogakure[b]Kumogakure[/b]. How ridiculous that was.

Now he didn't have time to care about Burubi[b]Burubi[/b]'s life or death. If the Eight - Tailed Beast[b]Eight - Tailed Beast[/b] continued to cause chaos like this, Kumogakure[b]Kumogakure[/b] would be destroyed.

The Raikage flashed and blocked all the tentacles.

It wasn't his first fight with the Eight - Tailed Beast[b]Eight - Tailed Beast[/b], so he had a plan.

After landing again, he watched Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b] howling at the sky and instructed a Cloud Ninja[b]Cloud Ninja[/b] beside him.

"Teleport us away when I hold him back."

If Kawaki[b]Kawaki[/b] were here, he might notice that this Cloud Ninja[b]Cloud Ninja[/b] resembled Mabo[b]Mabo[/b], the secretary of the The Forth Raikage[b]The Forth Raikage[/b].

"Are you sure it'll be okay?"

This Cloud Ninja[b]Cloud Ninja[/b] couldn't help worrying a bit. His jutsu[b]jutsu[/b] was usually used to teleport objects.

He had never tried teleporting people before and was afraid of causing any harm to the Raikage's body.

If that happened, he'd be a sinner in Kumogakure[b]Kumogakure[/b]!!

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

The Raikage was extremely confident in his own defense.

"Okay."

This Cloud Ninja[b]Cloud Ninja[/b] didn't waste time. He nodded and slowly approached the Eight - Tailed Beast[b]Eight - Tailed Beast[/b].

"How dare you!!"

The Raikage watched as Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b] was charging up again to release another Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b], filled with shock and fear.

Kumogakure[b]Kumogakure[/b] couldn't withstand several Tailed Beast Balls[b]Tailed Beast Balls[/b].

He pushed off with his feet, transformed into a blue lightning bolt, and charged at Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b].

He nimbly dodged Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b]'s tentacles, and with a powerful kick accompanied by the "hissing" sound of lightning, he directly knocked Gyūki[b]Gyūki[/b]'s head to the side.

The unformed Tailed Beast Ball dissipated in the air.

Buzz!

A transparent Barrier rose, trapping both the Eight - Tailed Beast and the Raikage inside.

I have to say, the Cloud Ninjas from the Barrier Team really know how to seize the opportunity.

The Raikage continued to engage in close - range combat with the Eight - Tailed Beast inside the Barrier.

"Hell Stab[b]Hell Stab[/b], Four - Finger Impalement[b]Four - Finger Impalement[/b]."

The lightning on the Raikage's four fingers shone even more brightly. He stomped hard on the ground, and his whole body crashed into Gyūki's neck like a cannonball.

"Roar～"

Gyūki, whose neck was hit, let out a pained roar, and his head uncontrollably rammed into the Barrier.

In this narrow space, his strength was restricted.

After the Eight - Tailed Beast reacted, he punched the Barrier with both fists.

The Barrier that could trap the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki was nothing in front of him.

The huge force made the Barrier tremble. With just a few more punches, the Barrier would surely break.

The ninjas of the Barrier Team had input Chakra with all their might, but the power of the Eight - Tailed Beast was much stronger than that of the Two - Tailed Beast.

Cold sweat gradually dripped down their foreheads, and their faces slowly turned pale. It seemed that they were about to hold on no longer.

"Quick! Do it!!"

The Raikage was anxious seeing this. If there was no Barrier to trap the Eight - Tailed Beast, the transfer would never succeed.

Moreover, if the Eight - Tailed Beast escaped from the Barrier, Kumogakure would surely be doomed.

This was the only chance. Gyūki was not a mindless beast.

A Cloud Ninja heard the Raikage's call. He quickened his pace and flashed in front of the Barrier.

After making Hand Seals with both hands, a large amount of Chakra entered the Barrier and wrapped around the Eight - Tailed Beast and the Raikage.

"Heavenly Transfer Technique[b]Heavenly Transfer Technique[/b]."

The Eight - Tailed Beast and the Raikage instantly disappeared from the spot, and the Cloud Ninja collapsed to the ground.

Transferring a Tailed Beast was already a stretch, let alone with the Raikage. He was completely exhausted.

The Cloud Ninjas of the Barrier Team were only a little better. They removed the Barrier and helped up their poor comrade.

Several of them took out Military Rations Pills from their pockets and ate them. It wasn't time to relax yet.

Not long after, everyone heard a loud explosion from the distant seaside.

The Raikage and the Eight - Tailed Beast were successfully transferred to the seaside, and the crisis in Kumogakure was temporarily averted.

Only then did they heave a sigh of relief. Their efforts were not in vain.

Next, the Cloud Ninjas began to rescue the injured. Luckily, the transfer was timely and didn't affect other areas.

However, this street was in a complete mess. There wasn't a single intact building in sight.

There were mostly building ruins and countless corpses.

The crisis had subsided, but great grief followed.

Losing loved ones and comrades, the sorrow was spreading, but the battle hadn't stopped.

It was just that some people were carrying the burden.

If the Eight - Tailed Beast had continued to run amok in the village, the damage it caused would not have been much different from the Nine - Tailed Fox's rampage in Konoha in the original plot.

There was indeed a gap in strength between the two Tailed Beasts. After all, one Nine - Tailed Fox was equivalent to more than half of the Ten - Tails.

However, for ordinary civilians and general ninjas, this was meaningless. Anyway, they were both existences they couldn't resist.

Fortunately, both villages had people who could match the Tailed Beasts. This was both a blessing and a curse for the villages.

Without the means to restrain the Tailed Beast, they wouldn't have the idea of controlling its power.

The war at the seaside continued. All the elite Cloud Ninjas from the village were rushing there.

Among them, a Cloud Ninja was carrying a huge jar with a wooden lid, with a white rope tied around its mouth.

It was one of the five treasures left by the Sage of Six Paths - Kohaku no Jōhei[b]Kohaku no Jōhei[/b].

The Raikage had already made up his mind to seal Gyūki. From the moment he received the news, he knew that Burubi was beyond saving.

It's no lie to say that he was sad about losing his long - time partner, but he was also helpless.

He attacked Konoha first, so he couldn't blame anyone for this predicament.

Filled with rage, he fought Gyūki to a draw.

The Raikage had the toughest body in the Ninja World, with muscles that could handle any challenge.

The Eight - Tailed Beast had an enormous amount of Chakra and didn't respect anyone except the Nine - Tailed Fox.

These two were well - matched opponents. In the original plot, they fought day and night without a clear victor.

The man and the beast seemed indefatigable, using the most primitive fighting method, with punches landing firmly.

The lightning and the crimson Tailed Beast Chakra shone alternately, and explosions rang out one after another.

The Cloud Ninjas watched from afar, terrified and not daring to approach the center of the battle for a while.

If they were affected, no one was confident they could survive.
