Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 170 A Big Gathering of Acquaintances with Three-Tailed Beasts

The different stages of Susanoo.

Only the torso, limbs, and legs are present, which is the stage in the original work where Madara Uchiha created twenty-five wood clones to use Susanoo. The height and size are about the same as an ordinary tailed beast.

The complete Susanoo, the form that Uchiha Hikaru is currently using, is about the same size as the wooden golem from before.

Furthermore, this improvement is not limited to size; both defense and attack power increase proportionally.

However, there is something even larger than the complete Susanoo, which is Hashirama Senju's true several thousand-armed Buddha.

Even a wooden figure the same size as the fully formed Susanoo can only sit on the top of the Buddha's head; the size difference is obvious.

Above that, there is another layer.

The Eight-Tails is slightly smaller than the Nine-Tails, but not by much. A single Tailed Beast Ball from the Eight-Tails is like a fly in front of the Ten-Tails, easily flicked away with a finger.

Sasuke's complete Susanoo is about the same size as the Nine-Tails standing up.

The Sage of Six Paths' perfect Susanoo was even slightly taller than the Ten-Tails when it stood up.

It's clear that Uchiha Hikaru's current Complete Susanoo is not her full power, because she used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to distribute her power evenly.

If she were to dispel the shadow clones at this moment and allow her power to return to her original body, she would undoubtedly be able to unlock a new level of Susanoo.

It might be comparable to the strength of the Sage of Six Paths' Susanoo.

The Sage of Six Paths learned the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku, and combined them with his own Six Paths Power and Ōtsutsuki bloodline.

While it seems to be inferior in many other aspects, the natural energy provided by Bai Mo is superior to the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku.

But actually, this level of sophistication alone is enough.

Combined with Bai Mo's amplification abilities, it is enough to make up for any other shortcomings.

But...

Just understand her current task and try to master the power; that's enough.

It's enough to ensure that she can safely carry out the limited Tsukuyomi's transformation from illusion to reality.

The current goal is to capture the Three-Tails.

If the Shadow Clone Technique were truly dispelled, allowing Susanoo to become even stronger and larger, it would likely be difficult to control.

Don't accidentally kill the Three-Tails, or we'll have to wait several years for it to slowly revive.

Even at its current size, it still feels too big, and searching this way isn't very efficient.

So Hikaru took the initiative to remove Susanoo's armor.

Well, don't overthink it. There are no details inside the armor, and no Susanoo throwing weapon.

Susanoo reverted to its previous stage and shrank considerably in size. Light used Shadow Clone Technique again, creating twenty clones with Susanoo activated, and they began catching fish at the bottom of the lake.

bottom of the lake.

Mio Isobu is sleeping.

Suddenly, I felt the water around me start to surge, so I opened my eyes.

What's all this noise?

It also seemed to hear someone shouting strange things like, "Where are you, Three-Tails? Come out now!"

Has someone come to catch it?

Three-tailed Fox is on alert.

Besides the Tailed Beast Ball, the Tailed Beasts each have their own most familiar and proficient techniques based on their own circumstances.

Using these techniques feels as natural and effortless as instinct.

That's how Shukaku is, leading many people to believe that it can't use the Tailed Beast Ball and spends all its time practicing empty bullets.

The most powerful instinctive technique of the Three-Tailed Isobu is Shadow Strike.

Shadow Strike arches its entire body, enveloping itself in the armor on its back, and rolls at high speed to crush the enemy.

Well, to put it bluntly, it's like the Akimichi family's "Your crotch smells so good," meat, eggs, scallions, chicken... uh, a meat bomb tank.

Minato created the Rasengan after observing the Tailed Beast Ball. It's unknown whether the Akimichi family's ancestor saw the Three-Tails' move and then developed the Human Bomber.

The three-tailed creature used Shadow Sweep to spin at high speed underwater, performing a burnout acceleration before suddenly bursting out of the lake.

"Hey, it's here~"

When the light and its clones noticed the movement in the water, they all rushed over.

Just as they surrounded it, the three tails spun and flew out of the water, much to Guang's delight.

The Three-Tails leaped out of the water in a rolling wheel-like motion, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the weak ninja who coveted its power.

As a result, I looked at the scene on the water from the air.

A dense mass of red Susanoo surrounded it, making it look just as helpless as a little girl surrounded by burly men from the Hidden Cloud Village.

What the hellish scroll is this?

I won't bother you, I'm leaving now.

The three-tailed isobu fell back into the water and, using the force of its high-speed rotation, began to dig a hole in the lakebed, preparing to escape.

Guang became anxious upon seeing this.

The Sharingan can indeed control tailed beasts, but with the Three-Tails spinning at high speed just now, there was no chance to make eye contact, so physical capture was the only option.

The five shadow clones of Susanoo disappeared and merged into a complete Susanoo that had just appeared. Hikaru pulled out the long sword of Susanoo and stabbed it downwards.

The weapon of Susanoo of Light is a long sword that is engulfed in Amaterasu flames.

*Pfft, pop*

Ow—

A wild, mournful howl echoed from underwater, and the commotion on the lake gradually subsided.

Light controlled Susanoo to retract his sword, bent down, groped around for a while, and scooped out the Three-Tails, placing it on the shore.

When the Three-Tails came ashore, it saw Hashirama Senju.

Isn't this an old acquaintance?

Decades ago, it was eating underwater volcano hotpot and singing siren songs in the sea when it was captured by this guy and assigned to Kirigakure.

I thought it was about assigning jobs or marriages, but it turned out to be about being assigned to jail.

"Hey, Three-Tails, hello there, haha, nice to meet you again."

Hashirama Senju smiled awkwardly and greeted him.

From Bai Mo, he realized that his past attitude towards the tailed beasts was wrong.

Tailed beasts can absolutely become allies.

So now he feels a little awkward when he sees the Three-Tails again.

After all, when he captured the Three-Tails, in order to prevent the Three-Tails' Shadow Spell from spinning, he used a wooden dragon to control the Three-Tails, stuffing a hole in the wooden dragon's head and a hole in its tail.

"Did I kill it?"

After releasing Susanoo, Uchiha Hikaru rushed forward to check on the Three-Tails' injuries with concern.

As soon as she got her hands on it, she immediately retrieved the Amaterasu that had been attached to the knife wound, fearing that it would cause problems if she burned it for too long.

"..."

The Three-Tails remained silent.

Because it realized that today seemed to be a gathering of old acquaintances.

He was once controlled by Madara Uchiha, but now he has seen the Sharingan again.

It was burned by Amaterasu before, and it's been burned again today, and it's been burned just now.

Having been captured and controlled by Hashirama Senju before, I saw Hashirama Senju again today, but the back door has been breached once more.

As a tailed beast, it only eats and doesn't excrete. Was it designed to be stabbed by you evil ninjas?

Finally, it also saw the jinchūriki who had killed it appear here.
