Chapter:69

Don't underestimate the power of a tailed beast. Once it reaches the level of the Six Paths, its strength expands unprecedentedly.

That's why, in front of Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, and even Naruto and Sasuke, who later received direct inheritance from the Sage of the Six Paths and gained immense power, the tailed beasts seemed weaker by comparison.

Even Uchiha Sasuke, with his Rinnegan's Six Tomoe pattern, controlled all the tailed beasts with just a glance.

But as long as one has not reached the Six Paths level, tailed beasts are not to be underestimated.

Especially the Eight-Tails, Gyuuki, which ranks second in power among all the tailed beasts.

Izuna jumped back to the cliff where he had been standing and said condescendingly, "Such terrifying power, but it's precisely that power that makes you valuable."

Gyuuki snorted, sending out two streams of mist from his nostrils. He glared at Izuna and grumbled, "This is the first time since the Sage of Six Paths that a human has dared to cause trouble with me!"

The relationship between the tailed beasts wasn't very harmonious, especially between Shukaku and Kurama, who always fought whenever they met.

After all these years, Gyuuki never expected a human would dare to provoke him.

"You tailed beasts will face countless disasters in the future. For your own good, sign a contract with me and become my summoning beast."

Izuna extended his hand invitingly.

"Get out of here!"

If it were that easy to tame a tailed beast, it wouldn't be a tailed beast.

With one swift move, Gyuuki lashed out with an octopus tail. Izuna quickly drew a Flying Thunder God kunai, threw it toward Gyuuki, and disappeared in an instant, reappearing in front of the Eight-Tails.

The cliff Izuna had just been standing on was obliterated by the octopus tail.

"Ninjutsu?"

As a tailed beast created by the Sage of Six Paths, Gyuuki was naturally familiar with ninjutsu. Even when he saw the Flying Thunder God technique, he wasn't as surprised as an ordinary ninja might be.

After all, he had witnessed the powers of the Sage of Six Paths himself.

Izuna, who used Flying Thunder God to move mid-air, was still about thirty meters away from Gyuuki's face.

As he appeared, countless octopus legs swung toward him.

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."

Izuna grabbed the kunai and threw it skyward to avoid the attack of the octopus legs, but this only increased the distance between them.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! You brat, always running around—let's see how I, the great Gyuuki, can deal with you!"

Gyuuki's voice carried an unusual rhythm, reminiscent of the raps of his future jinchuriki, Killer B. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of jet-black ink.

A casual attack at this level was equivalent to an A-rank jutsu.

"Is it similar to a Water Style attack, with the added effect of blinding and disrupting vision?"

Izuna thought quickly as he formed seals mid-air. "Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!"

Izuna exhaled a huge stream of flames that collided with the incoming ink. The two attacks stalemated for about three seconds before the ink overpowered and extinguished the fire.

"I actually lost in a direct clash of jutsu?"

Izuna thought to himself, and after quickly forming a seal, his body was blasted to the other side of the mountain wall by the powerful ink, equivalent to an A-rank jutsu.

Plop!

However, as Izuna's body fell from the mountain wall, it turned into a one-meter-high wooden log.

"A substitution?"

Gyuuki blinked, then narrowed his eyes, sensing another attack. He swung one of his eight octopus legs to swat away a Flying Thunder God kunai thrown from behind him.

"There you are!"

Izuna suddenly appeared at Gyuuki's lower right foot, and his Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly—his kaleidoscope's ability to predict movements.

Even tailed beasts couldn't escape its foresight!

Another Flying Thunder God kunai was embedded on Gyuuki's right side, though it barely scratched his thick hide.

But the real threat was yet to come.

"Big Ball Rasengan!"

Izuna, having reappeared, formed a giant Rasengan the size of a basketball in his right hand and slammed it into the Eight-Tails' side.

Even with Gyuuki's massive size, he was pushed back over ten meters by the attack. A spiraling black mark etched itself into his side.

"Ugh!!! You brat!!!"

Infuriated by the hit, Gyuuki roared, "You're annoying with all your jumping around!"

His eight octopus legs curled around his body, and after a few seconds, he twisted into the shape of a giant tire.

"I'll flatten everything here!"

A muffled sound came from his legs, and Gyuuki's tire-like form began spinning violently.

Izuna's eyes widened slightly, and he threw a Flying Thunder God kunai in the opposite direction, anticipating Gyuuki's incoming attack.

But Gyuuki had already started his roll.
