Chapter 941: Capturing Hachibi
After confirming that Orochimaru had left with Tenzo through Reverse Summoning Technique, Hiruzen ordered everyone to clear up the aftermath.
Kushina took the opportunity to pull Kanpū aside, and said seriously: "Kanpū, please go check on Minato. I'm worried about him."
"I will go too!" Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and said.
At this time, he desperately wanted to see Obito and ask him in person why he had done such heinous things!
"And me!" Asuma, Guy, and Kurenai, who were of the same generation, also came over.
Kushina looked at the four united people but hesitated.
Although more people meant more strength, sometimes it could also be a burden.
After all, Minato is currently facing Obito, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and a berserk Hachibi!
If Kakashi and the others went... only Guy might be able to help, provided he opened the Seventh Gate.
The worst-case scenario was that Kakashi and the others would fall into Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan Genjutsu, which would make them a hindrance instead!Kushina is planning to stop Kakashi and the others with facts and reasoning, but Kanpū can't stand the annoying atmosphere. Without saying anything, he activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode and flew straight in the direction where the Bijudama had been fired earlier.
"Kanpū?" Kakashi watched Kanpū disappear as a green light on the horizon, feeling depressed for a while.
'That guy!'
…
Kanpū flew for a while before he saw the chaotic center of the forest below, where two massive creatures were playing… 'S&M?'
Kanpū squinted to see… 'Well, I'm not mistaken.'
At this time, Hachibi was roaring furiously at the sky while slapping Isobu's backside with its octopus tentacles.
"Uh…uh…" Isobu groaned while trying to crawl away on all fours, but its tortoise-like speed was painfully slow, and Kanpū couldn't stand it anymore!
He condensed two Truth-Seeking Balls and used the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, creating a violent tornado that brutally blew the hundred-meter-tall octopus into the air!
"Roar!!!"
Hachibi plowed through the forest, creating several kilometer-long furrows, roaring incessantly, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't resist the monstrous storm!
Seeing this, Isobu finally let out a weary cheer, and its body collapsed. Then, its huge body shrank suddenly, revealing a Shinobi wearing a Konoha's forehead protector. It was Sanbi's Jinchuriki, Konoha Saburo!
"Thank you, Kanpū-senpai!" Konoha Saburo called out to Kanpū in the sky.
Although the previous battle had been extremely fierce, all the pain had been borne by Isobu, so Konoha Saburo wasn't injured.
Kanpū quickly landed beside him and asked: "Where is Yondaime-sama?"
Konoha Saburo shook his head and said, "Isobu is entangled by Hachibi, so I did not pay attention to the battle between Hokage-sama and the masked man."
"I see."
Kanpū glanced at Hachibi thousands of meters away, which had recovered and was charging with its tentacles flailing. He then took out a specially made kunai and tossed it to the ground, and said, "I'll send you back to the village first. Leave this place to me."
"Yes."
As soon as Konoha Saburo acknowledged, he felt that the world spin around him, and when his vision became clear, he saw Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, Hiruzen and the others.
As for Kanpū, he had immediately teleported back after delivering Saburo.
Grabbing the special kunai before it hit the ground, Kanpū rose into the air again, facing Hachibi directly!
"Roar!!"
Seeing the human reappear, Hachibi charged in fury, swinging its massive octopus tentacles!
Kanpū sneered and extended his hand: "Taste the wind!"
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Boom!
A violent storm descended, sending Hachibi tumbling away once more.
Having learned its lesson from the previous two encounters, Hachibi stayed a kilometer away this time, roaring angrily. A pure black Bijudama began forming in its mouth, growing larger and larger.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, an immense, invisible shockwave expanded from Hachibi's mouth. The Bijudama then transformed into a black beam, shooting forth, creating ring-like shockwaves as it streaked toward Kanpū.
Seeing this, Kanpū smirked disdainfully: "Is that it?"
He calmly waved his hand, transforming two Truth-Seeking Balls into a black shield that floated motionless in mid-air.
Boom!
In the next moment, the black beam violently collided with the shield formed by the Truth-Seeking Balls, causing a terrifying explosion!
The monstrous shockwave and flames rippled across the sky and the earth.
The white clouds turned crimson from the flames and were then blown apart by the shockwave, resembling the spread of a wifi signal.
The ground was scorched by the flames, then cracked inch by inch under the pressure of the shockwave!
floated serenely at the center of the explosion. Though his handsome face was flushed, and his clothes flapped wildly in the wind, his eyes remained calm... unnervingly so.
After a while, the energy within Bijudama finally dissipated, and the explosion ceased. Suddenly, the sound of a whip cracking echoed through the air. Hachibi, taking advantage of the explosion, had closed in and swung an octopus tentacle at Kanpū.
Kanpū clasped his hands together, and the Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly flew back to his grasp, transforming into a black longsword.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
The black longsword, infused with Kanpū's Chakra, erupted with a dazzling golden blade that extended forty meters outward. With a gentle swing, it met the falling tentacle like a meteor!
Splat!
With a sound of flesh being sliced, the golden lightsaber effortlessly severed Hachibi's tentacle.
The massive tentacle twisted and fell, and Kanpū quickly descended to seal it within his own body.
With this, Kanpū now had the Chakra of Kyubi, Hachibi, Yonbi, and Sanbi sealed within him!
"Roar roar!!!"
Kanpū was pleased, but Hachibi was enraged.
He was originally controlled by Obito's Genjutsu, and losing its sanity. At this time, Kanpū actually removed one of its tails and 'swallowed' it into his belly, sending Hachibi's fury into overdrive.
With a roar, Hachibi formed another Bijudama and launched it at Kanpū.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"As I said, that won't work on me."
Kanpū effortlessly switched the black longsword in his hand to a black barrier, blocking the descending Bijudama.
After the terrifying explosion, Kanpū began to close the net.
"Lock Tail Seal!"
Forming a series of hand seals, Kanpū's green Chakra Cloak suddenly sprouted several thick, verdant chains. With a clanging sound, the chains extended across the air, brutally binding Hachibi.
"Roar!!" Hachibi struggled madly. Its seven octopus tails strained with bulging muscles, but it couldn't break free from the green chains.
"This is the end, Hachibi." Kanpū controlled the chains, compressing them bit by bit, causing Hachibi's body to gradually shrink.
…
On a small hill a hundred kilometers away.
Obito was engaged in a fierce battle with Minato.
With his Mangekyo's Space-Time Ninjutsu, Obito was barely managing to hold his own. However, the scales of victory were slowly tipping in Obito's favor!
"Obito, come back with me now and explain everything. I might still be able to forgive you."
After another Rasengan passed through Obito's intangible body, Minato frowned and urged, "Don't persist in your wrongdoings any longer!"
"Do you think you've won, Yondaime?"
Obito said with a sneer, "No, you've already fallen into my trap!"
He had deliberately lured Minato here, a hundred and fifty kilometers away from Konoha. With his Flying Thunder God Technique's teleportation limit, it is impossible for Minato to teleport directly back to Konoha. At the same time, Minato is separated from Sanbi!
Therefore, as long as Obito summons Hachibi here, he can beat Minato!
'This is the end for you, Yellow Flash!'
Summoning Technique!
Obito slammed his palm onto the ground.
"…" Obito.
The silence was deafening.
Minato didn't miss the fleeting opportunity. In a flash, he appeared beside Obito, forming a Rasengan and slamming it at him.
Boom!
Obito was knocked out cold directly.
