Chapter 39
"Immortal Body... Uzumaki Clan or Senju Clan?"
For a moment,
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, felt an intense unease.
There was a faint, ominous premonition in his heart.
Whether it was the downfall of the Uzumaki Clan or the decline of the Senju Clan... it seemed that behind the scenes, he had played a role too disgraceful to admit. And now, the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure made the Third Hokage even more fearful.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield—
BOOM!!
Several more deafening explosions rang out.
Under Uchiha Liunian's relentless assault, three of the Nine-Tails' tails were severed.
The immense shockwaves made the massive body of the Nine-Tails shudder violently several times before it crashed heavily onto the ground.
Humiliation.
Extreme humiliation.
Though the Nine-Tails was under the control of the Mangekyō Sharingan's illusion, deep within, it still couldn't suppress its growing sense of helplessness.
Finally breaking free from Kushina's body, it had thought it could unleash its might upon the world.
But now?
Instead of dominating, it once again tasted the despair of being crushed — just like it had been by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
It couldn't help but reminisce—
Back during the Warring States period,
The Nine-Tails was unstoppable. It could destroy anything it wished, truly a force of nature.
But after encountering Hashirama and Madara, its misery began.
One bound it with the Mangekyō Sharingan, the other suppressed it with Wood Release.
And now, years later, finally free again, the Nine-Tails first ran into a man wearing a swirling mask...
and then another mysterious figure with a white beard and a terrifying aura.
It was too much!!
At this moment,
The Nine-Tails couldn't help but question its existence.
Was it truly the strongest among the Tailed Beasts?
Why did it always end up getting beaten into submission?
"ROAR!!"
Still—
The Nine-Tails was the Nine-Tails.
Even in defeat, it refused to back down.
Letting out a furious roar, it once again erupted with a surge of chakra powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Under the raging energy, the severed tails rapidly regenerated.
"...You're really asking for it, Nine-Tails."
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed through Uchiha Liunian's eyes.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Moments later—
Another earth-shattering blast tore through the air.
Liunian's devastating slash ripped apart a Tailed Beast Bomb mid-air and crashed straight into the Nine-Tails' body, knocking it to the ground once again.
This time, it didn't get up.
The Nine-Tails, completely overpowered, was thoroughly pinned to the earth.
---
"The Nine-Tails... it's been beaten too miserably!"
A trace of horror flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
Yet, thinking of something, his expression darkened gloomily.
"The Nine-Tails isn't just suppressed..."
"It's completely one-sided."
"I never thought... the legendary Nine-Tails would be so fragile..."
At this moment, countless Konoha shinobi stood frozen in shock.
The image of the mighty Nine-Tails being thrashed like a helpless kitten had numbed their hearts.
---
"It's almost done..."
Looking at the Nine-Tails struggling weakly, Uchiha Liunian tightened his grip on Cong Yunqi.
In a flash, he leapt up and landed squarely on the Nine-Tails' head, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
BOOM!!
The moment he landed, a terrifying force erupted.
The Nine-Tails, which had barely lifted its head, was smashed back down, forming a massive crater beneath it.
"I..."
Sensing Uchiha Liunian standing atop its head, the Nine-Tails was completely stunned.
Its mind blanked.
Only one thought echoed inside it:
"I would rather be sealed... than come out and be humiliated like this..."
At this point,
The Nine-Tails would have preferred to fall fully under the control of the Masked Man—Uchiha Obito—completely losing its mind, rather than endure this level of mockery.
Especially because—
Standing on its skull wasn't even damaging... it was purely insulting.
It made the Nine-Tails want to die.
After all, in the past, even facing Hashirama's Wood Release, it hadn't been this humiliated!
---
"N-No way... the Nine-Tails... it's not even resisting...?"
The Konoha ninjas, already numb with shock, could only gape in disbelief.
Facing such a humiliating move, the Nine-Tails — once the terror of the world — didn't even resist!
Was this still the legendary Nine-Tails?
---
"No... no matter what, I must make this mysterious man stay in Konoha!!"
Clenching his fists tightly, the Third Hokage roared internally.
No choice.
This mysterious figure...
His strength and abilities were enough to shift the balance of the entire ninja world!
Thus, a bold thought surged within Sarutobi's heart:
No matter who this man was, as long as he bore no ill will toward Konoha, he must be convinced — brainwashed if necessary — with the Will of Fire!
---
Meanwhile—
"System, sign in... on the Nine-Tails' head."
Standing calmly atop the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Liunian surveyed Konoha Village, silently issuing an order in his heart.
After all—
With his current strength,
Suppressing the Nine-Tails by combining the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Immortal Body, and Armament Haki was a trivial matter.
No big deal.
One second... ten seconds... thirty seconds...
Finally—
After a full minute,
A crisp system notification sounded in his mind.
