Chapitre 14: Chapter 14: Six-Tails
Akira's ninjutsu had been disrupting Haori, preventing him from using the Tailed Beast Bomb. But now, with Akira's punch having knocked him back, Haori finally had the chance to unleash his ultimate move, a technique that could determine the battle's outcome.
As Haori, the partial Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails, began to charge up the Tailed Beast Bomb, Akira smirked, his lips curving up in amusement.
"Let's see which is faster—your Tailed Beast Bomb or my lightning!"
With a flash of lightning around him, Akira leaped into the air.
"Lightning Release: Divine Thunder Sword!"
Raising his right hand, he directed a beam of lightning into the dark, stormy clouds above. In an instant, thunderclouds gathered, sparking with relentless lightning that converged above him, forming a colossal lightning sword spanning the sky—a blade of thunder, nearly a hundred meters long.
"That level of lightning jutsu…" From a distance, the Konoha jonin, who had just finished off Kirigakure's elite with Duy's help, looked on in awe, witnessing the display.
Kakashi and the others had never seen such powerful jutsu before, not even on the battlefields of the Third Great Ninja War. The immense Lightning Sword stretched across the heavens, altering everything they thought they knew.
"That's…" Hyūga Homon's face grew serious. "Kirigakure's Six-Tails Jinchuriki is entering partial beast mode and preparing a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
He glanced around at his comrades, his tone urgent.
"We need to move. Whether it's Akira's attack or the Tailed Beast Bomb, being in range could be deadly."
No sooner had he spoken than the colossal Lightning Sword vanished, as though it had never appeared.
Reacting quickly, Kakashi formed hand signs and pressed his hand to the ground.
"Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Wall!"
With a loud rumble, layers of thick earth walls shot up, encircling and shielding their group.
Meanwhile, Akira's right hand moved, and the enormous lightning sword above Haori vanished. Just as Haori completed the Tailed Beast Bomb and was about to release it, the sword reappeared, striking down upon him.
A thunderous explosion shattered the sky as the lightning collided with the Tailed Beast Bomb. The resulting shockwave erupted in a blinding light, turning the landscape into an inferno of searing heat.
BOOM!
A second, even louder explosion followed as the Tailed Beast Bomb detonated under the lightning's force. A vast mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground shook violently, throwing up waves of debris. Within a kilometer radius, everything was obliterated by the devastating blast.
Watching over the injured, Guy and others were stunned as the shockwave reached them, like a gale from a hurricane. Had they not used Earth Release to dampen the force, the wounded might have been swept away.
"Guy, did you see that?" Ebisu nudged Guy. "That lightning jutsu…"
"What kind of opponent would force Akira-senpai to use such a powerful lightning jutsu?" Genma muttered, awestruck.
"Could it be a Tailed Beast…?" Guy whispered, thinking about the towering chakra pillar they had seen earlier.
Around them, injured soldiers and medical staff were murmuring as well, in awe of the spectacle. The massive lightning sword had been visible even to them.
"Trust in Konoha's jonin!"
"With the Uchiha and Hyuga clans here, we can't lose!"
Despite their attempts to reassure each other, everyone kept glancing anxiously toward the battlefield, where the energy storm continued to rage. Kakashi and Duy, tense and worried, exchanged grim looks, feeling the immense power from afar.
"How's it looking over there, Homon?"
"It's not good…" Homon's face was pale. "Kirigakure's Jinchuriki has lost control—the Six-Tails has broken free of its seal!"
The jonin around them exchanged uneasy glances, they knew a fully unleashed Tailed Beast was beyond their ability to handle.
"The only one here who might stand a chance is Duy," Homon said gravely.
"What?! The Six-Tails broke free?" The group turned to Homon in disbelief.
Swallowing hard, Homon nodded. "Yes, the Jinchuriki was cornered and went all out, releasing the Six-Tails…"
"What do we do now?" Homon's gaze shifted to the group.
"We'll support Akira and prepare to retreat. We're no match for a fully-formed Tailed Beast," Duy said, his expression solemn.
"Can anyone summon Minato? This is way beyond us," someone asked, looking to Kakashi.
Kakashi shook his head. "Sensei's summoning beasts are the toads of Mount Myoboku. Mine are ninken. Summoning him isn't an option."
"Wait, Duy. We may not need to go over," Homon said, staring at the battlefield, his expression shifting to one of disbelief. "It looks like Akira is using his Sharingan to control the Six-Tails!"
"What?!"
The group was stunned, recalling the legends of Uchiha Madara controlling the Nine-Tails.
"So, the Sharingan really can control Tailed Beasts…" Kakashi whispered in awe.
"Thank goodness," Duy exhaled in relief.
From the edge of the battlefield, Akira emerged, slightly singed but otherwise unharmed. The Lightning Sword technique he'd unleashed had been performed by one of his shadow clones—a jutsu with a range of a kilometer and a target distance of five hundred meters. Using a clone to manage its destructive power was simply more practical.
Now, the battlefield was reduced to a massive crater, several hundred meters wide. At its center stood the enormous form of the Six-Tails, a massive white creature resembling a slug, covered in thick, sticky mucus. Charred black scars marred its white hide, remnants of the powerful explosion.
Akira narrowed his Sharingan eyes. Haori was definitely gone, there was no way he could have survived the blast of both the lightning and the Tailed Beast Bomb. But in the chaos, it was unclear if he had intentionally broken the seal or if the Six-Tails had forced its way out upon sensing its host's death.
As Akira advanced, the Six-Tails growled, eyes filled with rage. He smirked. "If you hadn't broken free, I'd have had a tougher time. But now that you're out, things are just perfect."
The three tomoe in his left eye spun, transforming into the pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
In an instant, the Six-Tails froze, its body stiffening as though its mind had been shut down. The colossal beast, poised to strike, now stood motionless, completely subdued by the power of the Sharingan.
