Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Nine Tails Rampage

Kakuzu's scalp tingled, 'They are going all out from the get-go?'

He formed hand seals, and the three Earth Grudge Fear masks on him, Wind, Lightning, and Water, all opened their mouths.

Three types of chakra mixed.

Combined Ninjutsu: Lightning-Water-Wind Bullet!

A massive water sphere appeared mid-air, crackling with electricity, then compressed and shot forward with Wind Release.

Mixing three elemental natures was basically Kakuzu's limit.

The strike hit the gigantic Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan head-on, directly triggering a violent explosion.

BOOM!

A thunderous boom.

It was like a lightning bolt tearing through the sky.

Amid the violent chakra shockwaves, even Sage Jiraiya was blasted backward.

But the two toads on his shoulders weren't just statues.

Even as Jiraiya was knocked back, they remained steadily perched on his shoulders.

The two toads simultaneously clasped their hands together.

Twin Water Slash!

Fukasaku and Shima both spat out two water blades, slashing with precise angles.

A cross-slash directly swept across Kakuzu's body.

Two massive gashes split open on Kakuzu's body.

He roared wildly, clenched both hands abruptly, the Wind and Lightning Earth Grudge Fear hearts flew off him and exploded.

He himself stomped his feet into the ground.

He had already activated Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique, fleeing outward.

Jiraiya's foot scraped across the ground, plowing out a huge trench.

There was no time to pursue Kakuzu.

Over on the other side, Naruto was already on all fours, five tails behind him whipping over directly.

Jiraiya's white hair curled around him, wrapping himself tightly.

Sage Art: Needle Jizo!

BANG!

The chakra tail, like a spinning top, smacked Jiraiya and sent him flying.

Jiraiya spun like a white top, crashing into a nearby building.

Naruto was on all fours, his tails dancing behind him.

A small Tailed Beast Bomb began forming in his mouth.

It blasted straight toward where Jiraiya was.

BOOM!

With a huge bang, the building exploded on impact. Jiraiya jumped out from the rubble, covered in dust and dirt.

He was in Sage Mode now, with tough skin and thick flesh.

It wasn't enough to finish him off in one shot, but he was still in a sorry state.

"Naruto, why did he rampage? What did you guys do?", Jiraiya shouted toward the few ANBU nearby.

He wasn't trying to blame the ANBU, but rather understand what happened so he could solve the problem.

The ANBU were dodging Nine-Tails' tail attacks by leaping and diving, replying mid-movement:

"We didn't do anything, Lord Jiraiya!"

"We were ambushed and knocked Naruto out before taking him away."

"He wasn't injured on the way, he just suddenly went berserk… AH!"

Naruto's tail whipped over and sent the ANBU flying.

Regular shinobi were all glass cannons, a single tail was enough to seriously injure them and make them cough up blood.

Jiraiya's face was drenched in cold sweat as he said, "You're useless here! Go report to the Third Hokage, tell him to bring the sealing team!"

"Yes!"

The ANBU realized they were no better than civilians here.

They could only retreat in haste.

Naruto, still on all fours, glared at Jiraiya with intense hostility, as if he instinctively knew Jiraiya was the biggest threat.

"Little Jiraiya, something's off. This doesn't seem like a rampage," Fukasaku said, puzzled, perched on Jiraiya's shoulder.

Jiraiya noticed it too, Naruto seemed to have an especially strong hostility toward him.

He ignored the ANBU who ran off.

And although he was surrounded by explosive chakra, it wasn't completely chaotic.

CRACK!

The ground suddenly shattered. Five-tailed Naruto, wrapped in blazing chakra like fire, lunged at Jiraiya.

While flying mid-air, countless red-black chakra arms lashed out wildly toward Jiraiya.

Jiraiya dodged while wiping blood from his body onto his hand.

Summoning Technique!

BANG!

A purple toad appeared, holding a harpoon in one hand and a shield in the other.

It was Gamaken.

Gamaken swung his shield and blocked the incoming chakra arms, "Hmph, is this... the Nine-Tails…"

Jiraiya formed hand seals while speaking to Gamaken:

"Gamaken, please hold him off, I need to prepare something."

Gamaken readied his weapon, "Leave it to foolish me."

Unexpectedly, Naruto's tail stabbed into the ground, then burst out beside Jiraiya.

He grabbed Jiraiya and slammed him into the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Dear! Help out!", Shima puffed her cheeks.

She shouted toward the pursuing Naruto.

Sage Art: Frog Song!

Fukasaku puffed up his cheeks too.

Sage Art: Frog Song Chorus!

Visible sound waves rippled through the air, smashing into Naruto repeatedly.

Naruto was sent flying, while retreating, he clawed onto Gamaken's shield.

It made a piercing screeching sound.

Gamaken staggered back several steps.

A massive gust of wind sounded.

A golden staff extended from afar and slammed into Naruto.

Naruto's tails clawed the ground, his front claws lifted, the staff was deflected to the side.

The Third Hokage hooked his Adamantine Staff and shrank it back, rapidly forming hand seals.

Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

The ground beneath Naruto turned soft, his body sliding uncontrollably.

Naruto clawed into the ground to steady himself, glaring at the newly arrived Third Hokage, directly forming a Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth.

WHOOSH!

It blasted toward the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage's face changed, he formed hand seals.

Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!

A massive earth wall rose as he flung out his retractable Adamantine Staff.

The staff instantly multiplied into dozens of rods.

They rapidly formed a cube-shaped defense.

Adamantine Prison Wall!

The Tailed Beast Ball smashed the Earth Wall, causing a massive explosion. Countless debris flew toward the Third Hokage.

Luckily, the Third Hokage was inside the Adamantine Prison Wall and resisted the aftermath of the blast.

Right after the explosion, the Third Hokage jumped out and relocated.

The five-tailed Nine-Tails was already fighting Jiraiya and the purple Gamaken.

The Nine-Tails completely suppressed both Jiraiya and Gamaken.

It was only because Jiraiya was in Sage Mode, otherwise, he'd be dead already.

Naruto roared, waving his chakra claws. The violent chakra easily created a massive storm.

Everything nearby was overturned.

Even when plunged into the ground, his tails could burst out from afar.

After the Third Hokage appeared, Naruto started ignoring Jiraiya and Gamaken, he went all-in attacking the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage had just taken a hit from Yagura earlier, now he was getting chased all over by Naruto.

He got injured in no time.

"Third Hokage! We're here!"

Tenzo(Yamato), just over thirty years old, arrived with two squads, eight members of the sealing team.

"Tenzo, I'm counting on you!"

The Third Hokage had already noticed faces of other shinobi clans appearing nearby.

He really didn't want everyone to see their own Hokage being chased around by the Nine-Tails jinchuriki.
