Tsunade didn't want Yoruha to die here. Yoruha smiled and said, "It seems Tsunade-sama doesn't trust me very much." As soon as Yoruha finished speaking,
Tsunade glared at him and said, "I told you to leave quickly. Staying here will just add another corpse. We're up against the Sannin, this is not a battle you can participate in."
Tsunade was anxious, worried that Yoruha wanted to join the fight. Even she felt that the hope of defeating Orochimaru was slim. Yoruha was undoubtedly doomed if he stayed.
Yoruha patted her shoulder. "Tsunade-sama, don't worry. I just want to try out my summoning beast." Tsunade was furious.
She grabbed Yoruha and tossed him out. "Ouch, come on!" Yoruha didn't expect Tsunade to be so fierce, actually throwing him out. While airborne, Yoruha heard Tsunade shout, "Katsuyu, catch him."
Quickly, a division of Katsuyu under Tsunade's feet split off and crawled rapidly to where Yoruha was about to land. Yoruha was speechless. He just wanted to show off a bit, but how did he fail on his first attempt?
It wasn't like what he imagined. Just as Yoruha was about to hit the ground, he shook his head and said helplessly, "It seems I'm not suited for this style of combat." As he spoke, just before landing, he slapped his hand on the ground, "Summoning Jutsu," and a swirl of white smoke appeared.
This commotion caught everyone's attention. Jiraiya and Shizune were curious about this sudden appearance. Judging by the forehead protector, the newcomer was a ninja from Konoha.
But they had never seen him before. And he seemed to be a very young ninja. Seeing Yoruha pat Tsunade's shoulder, Jiraiya was so angry he almost jumped over to beat Yoruha up.
At that moment, Tsunade was wearing a vest with only two strips of fabric over her shoulders. So Yoruha's hand landed on Tsunade's skin. Yoruha didn't notice, and neither did Tsunade, but Jiraiya was furious.
Even he hadn't touched her. However, when Yoruha used the summoning jutsu, it caught his attention. Seeing the size of the white smoke, Jiraiya's eyes widened, "What kind of summoning beast did that kid call out?"
Tsunade also remembered Yoruha's earlier words about wanting to try his summoning beast. "Could this kid have a large summoning beast?" The size of the smoke was too large; usually, only large summoning beasts would produce such a volume of smoke.
In the distance, Orochimaru and Manda were also watching. Yoruha's earlier lightning technique made Orochimaru and Kabuto wary of him. Manda, on the other hand, was furious, wanting nothing more than to rush over and swallow Yoruha whole, bones and all, as snakes don't seem to spit out bones.
The smoke cleared, revealing the true form of the summoned beast. "Roar~" A roar echoed.
The ground within several kilometers shook violently from the roar. When everyone saw the summoning beast in the smoke, they all gasped.
"This, this is the Three-Tails?!"
"How is this possible, how could it be the Three-Tails?!" Tsunade was stunned, trembling all over. Even Jiraiya, who wanted to beat Yoruha, was dumbfounded.
His jaw nearly dropped. He stared in shock at the Three-Tails that appeared before them.
"What? How can it be the Three-Tails?" Even Orochimaru was stunned. "What is this guy's background? How could he use a Tailed Beast as his summoning creature?" Orochimaru knew the Three-Tails all too well. He had always wanted to capture it but never found a way to seal it over the years.
That's a Tailed Beast, not a ninja beast. It's a national treasure for any country. Having just one is impressive enough. Besides someone like Uchiha Madara, who would dare use a Tailed Beast as their summoning creature?
And who has the ability to make a Tailed Beast submit? Manda, who was about to rush over and swallow Yoruha, was actually intimidated by the Three-Tails' presence. No matter how arrogant Manda was, he knew he was no match for a Tailed Beast.
Yoruha stood calmly on the back of the Three-Tails. Next to him was a split body of Katsuyu, which Tsunade had summoned to catch Yoruha and prevent him from falling to his death.
Who would have thought Yoruha would summon the Three-Tails instead? The Three-Tails, upon being summoned, seemed a bit displeased. "Hey, brat, why did you summon me?"
Ever since it figured out Yoruha's intention of making it his summoning creature, the Three-Tails had been quite unhappy.
Of course, it had resigned itself to the fact that being Yoruha's summoning creature allowed it to roam freely without worrying about being sealed. It also believed that with Yoruha's strength, he could ensure its safety.
But just thinking about how Yoruha signed a summoning contract with it just to have a flashy tool made it quite unhappy. Hearing the Three-Tails speak, everyone snapped back to reality.
They looked at Yoruha in shock. It's true. The Three-Tails really is Yoruha's summoning creature.
Didn't you see how well the Three-Tails and Yoruha got along? Although the Three-Tails' tone wasn't great, its words confirmed that it acknowledged being Yoruha's summoning creature and seemed willing to cooperate. It's well known that Tailed Beasts harbor deep hatred for humans.
Once released, Tailed Beasts invariably seek revenge against humans. Except for a few perfect Jinchuriki, Tailed Beasts generally have no fondness for humans. Yet the Three-Tails didn't attack Yoruha and even cooperated, despite its unfriendly tone.
Yoruha stood with his hands in his pockets, the breeze rustling his clothes. "Isobu, do you think Tailed Beasts are stronger or ninja beasts?" Yoruha used a provocation tactic on Isobu.
It worked quite well. Isobu coldly replied, "Of course, Tailed Beasts are stronger." As Isobu said this, it glanced at the Katsuyu split body beside Yoruha.
The split body of Katsuyu was so frightened that it hid behind Yoruha. Although the main body of Katsuyu was enormous and presumably powerful, its split body was quite timid. Isobu's words also stirred dissatisfaction in Manda from afar.
Manda already hated Yoruha, and Isobu's words only fueled its anger. "Damn it, you turtle, you're asking for it." Manda was enraged and charged at Isobu, ignoring the difference in power.
Its speed was fast, but in Isobu's eyes, it was still too slow. Isobu hadn't specifically targeted it. To Isobu, all ninja beasts were trash, and Manda happened to take offense.
"You brat, you did that on purpose." Yoruha laughed, "Show me, then, or else you're just bragging." Isobu rolled its eyes at Yoruha.
The Katsuyu split body hiding behind Yoruha was terrified. It couldn't understand why Yoruha would provoke the Three-Tails . This was a Tailed Beast, capable of destroying a nation.
Manda reached Isobu and opened its massive jaws to bite Isobu's head. Isobu didn't move at all.
It looked at Manda with a mocking expression. In the next moment, just as Manda thought it had succeeded, it was suddenly sent flying by a tremendous force. "Boom!" "Crash!" The massive power sent Manda flying a kilometer away, crashing heavily into a mountain.
The hundred-meter-high hill was smashed into a crater by Manda's body. And that attack was just a swipe from one of Isobu's tails. The sheer force left Manda in the dust.
The vast gap between Tailed Beasts and ninja beasts was vividly demonstrated at that moment.
