The Four-Tails was pinned beneath Susanoo’s foot, like a petulant puppy, roaring uselessly.
“If you dare show your face, be prepared to be beaten.”
Shin lifted Susanoo’s foot and kicked the Four-Tails, sending it flying hundreds of meters like a soccer ball.
“Roar!!”
Just as Shin was about to continue his assault, the Eight-Tails broke free from its icy prison and launched a Tailed Beast Bomb.
“Couldn’t you just stay frozen? Are you that eager to be beaten?”
Susanoo caught the Tailed Beast Bomb with one hand, taking a step back but remaining unharmed.
“Huh? Where did the Four-Tails go?”
Shin looked around and saw the Four-Tails fleeing in terror. How pathetic.
Shin didn’t bother chasing it. He’d deal with the Eight-Tails first. It seemed more confident, showing no signs of fear.
“Eight-Tails, you think you can defeat me?” Shin asked.
Tailed Beasts should know the power of the Perfect Susanoo. After all, both Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Indra Ōtsutsuki had wielded it.
They might not have seen Hagoromo’s Susanoo, but they had definitely seen Indra’s.
The Eight-Tails didn’t answer. It threw two punches at Susanoo.
“I don’t need a massage.”
Susanoo punched back, sending the Eight-Tails flying.
The Eight-Tails got up and ran.
“What the hell? You’re running too? I thought you were stronger than that.”
Shin was dumbfounded. First the Four-Tails, now the Eight-Tails? He was losing face.
He deactivated Susanoo and used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport in front of the Eight-Tails, then kicked it in the head.
The Eight-Tails was sent tumbling. It was shocked. First, there was the Third Raikage, who could fight it barehanded. Now there was this human.
And this human was far more dangerous. His Sharingan alone was a threat.
Both the Sharingan and Wood Release were effective against Tailed Beasts. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could easily control them, and Wood Release could suppress them with a single touch.
Of course, this referred to Hashirama Senju’s Wood Release, not Yamato’s.
Yamato’s Wood Release was decent, but compared to Hashirama’s, it was garbage.
“Trying to run? You think you can escape?”
Shin used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the Eight-Tails. It couldn’t break free.
The Eight-Tails cursed inwardly. That damned Four-Tails, weaker than it, had managed to escape, but he, the mighty Eight-Tails, who could even face the Nine-Tails, was captured?
It gave up and retreated into its Jinchūriki’s body.
“You think you can hide?”
Shin couldn’t help but find the situation a bit amusing. To directly extract the Eight-Tails from within the Jinchūriki was no small feat—it was almost absurd.
Of course, without the Tailed Beast, The Jinchūriki would not survive. Losing a Tailed Beast meant certain death for a Jinchūriki.
When the Eight-Tails saw Shin again, there was no trace of excitement or relief at regaining its freedom. Instead, it cursed inwardly, seething with frustration.
“What do you want?”
The Eight-Tails had surrendered, yet it was still dragged out.
“I just wanted to ask why you and the Four-Tails had the audacity to fight me.”
Shin looked at the Eight-Tails. Had it not seen the Perfect Susanoo? Or did it think it could defeat it?
The Eight-Tails had indeed thought it could fight the Susanoo, but it had been wrong.
“You two interrupted my fun. Those Shinobi all escaped. You think I’ll let you go?”
“I’ll kill you!”
The Eight-Tails’ eyes turned red, and it lashed out with its tentacles.
It was a sentient being. How dare this human call it a beast?
And Four-Tails, why did you leave me behind? Do you think I’m easy to bully?
The Four-Tails had escaped because it ran first. And the Eight-Tails had been attacking Shin at that time.
It had actually helped the Four-Tails escape. The Four-Tails owed it a ‘favor’.
“I’ve seen this kind of impotent rage many times. Beasts will be beasts. All bark and no bite.”
Shin used his Sharingan to control the Eight-Tails. It was child’s play with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
As Madara had said, Tailed Beasts were merely servants to the Uchiha.
Shin didn’t take them seriously, except for the Ten-Tails. But the Ten-Tails couldn’t be revived now.
…
He left the battlefield with the Eight-Tails, extinguishing the Amaterasu flames before he left.
Dawn was approaching. It was a beautiful time for watching the sunrise.
But the Shinobi on the battlefield weren’t in the mood, especially the Kumo, Suna, Iwa, and Ame Shinobi.
Shin stood on the Eight-Tails’ head as it carried him back to the Konoha camp. The Konoha forces, however, didn’t return.
Hiruzen was pursuing the enemy, who were fleeing in disarray.
The four villages’ Shinobi were mixed together now; it was impossible to tell who was who.
They were too busy running to care. And counterattack? They were too scared of Shin.
They were fast, though, so Hiruzen couldn’t kill many of them.
Shin arrived at the Konoha camp and jumped down from the Eight-Tails’ head, then sent it to join the One-Tails in a nearby forest.
