Chapter 65: The Three-Tails
Seeing the Three-Tails Jinchuriki frozen in ice, Ice stopped his attack, preparing to step forward and use a sealing technique to release the Jinchuriki from its semi-tailed beast transformation state.
Just then, in his senses, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, already frozen in ice, had its Chakra signature rapidly expanding like a flame about to burst.
"Not good!" Ice's expression changed. "This is! The Three-Tails is coming out!"
Ice, who had thought this side could be resolved quickly without facing the tailed beast's main body, secretly cursed. After all, the berserk Six-Tails Jinchuriki at Outpost Number 6 was still waiting for him to deal with it.
"Everyone retreat! Return to the village and notify Elder Haruame to bring the sealing tools immediately!" Ice issued instructions to the surviving Anbu behind him who were recovering, while he himself also retreated rapidly.
Ice wasn't particularly proficient in sealing techniques. Sealing a powerless, transformed Jinchuriki was still manageable for him, but facing the fully transformed Three-Tails, he was stretched thin. Therefore, he needed the assistance of Elder Haruame, another person in the village who could use sealing techniques.
Moreover, the Three-Tails' original Jinchuriki was already about to give out. After this full tailed beast transformation, their life was also nearing its end. Under these circumstances, Ice couldn't freely use many of his powerful moves, fearing that he might accidentally kill both the tailed beast and the Jinchuriki.
So, Ice needed to first seal the Three-Tails back into the Jinchuriki's body, then extract the Three-Tails from the Jinchuriki's body, and finally seal it into the sealing tools together with Elder Haruame.
(This is how a berserk, fully tailed beast transformed Jinchuriki should be dealt with. If there are other opinions, feel free to leave a comment.)
"Crack! Crack crack! Crack crack crack!!!"
Dense cracking sounds came. Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the solid ice imprisoning the Jinchuriki, then it shattered with a loud crash.
A turtle with an extremely large body, covered in thorny protrusions, and three tails appeared.
"The Three-Tails!" Ice murmured to himself, looking at the huge turtle.
Because the other Anbu had already retreated, the Three-Tails' single eye, filled with violence, swept over and saw Ice, who was extremely tiny compared to its size.
The Three-Tails appeared because the Jinchuriki had fallen into a berserk state, its body continuously eroded by the tailed beast's Chakra, leading to full tailed beast transformation. Therefore, the current Three-Tails was not controlled by the Jinchuriki and relied more on its instincts for action.
The memory of being repeatedly beaten and sealed by Ice had been deeply engraved in its Chakra. So, when it saw Ice, it became even more manic.
The Three-Tails opened its large mouth, and a high-pressure water column compressed to the extreme shot straight towards Ice.
Ice, who had also "fought" with the Three-Tails many times, was already quite familiar with the Three-Tails' attack patterns. He placed one hand in front of his chest, and the Body Flicker Technique was activated, avoiding the Three-Tails' attack.
The Three-Tails became even more violent after its attack failed. Within its enormous body, Chakra began to stir and boil. It opened its large mouth again, and a massive amount of water continuously poured out, wanting to create a comfortable environment and a suitable battlefield for itself.
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave!"
The Water Release ninjutsu unleashed by the Three-Tails, which was proficient in Water Release, was far larger in scale than what a ninja could produce.
The Three-Tails created a huge lake out of thin air in the waterless environment. Outpost Number 3 was now completely ruined.
"Ice Release: Ice Age!"
While the Three-Tails was unleashing its ninjutsu, Ice's ninjutsu was also ready. It was the A-rank Ice Age.
The Three-Tails not only created a suitable combat environment for itself, but also for Ice.
The lake water became the best support for the spread of Ice Release Chakra. With the conduction of the lake water, the Three-Tails was instantly frozen.
Knowing that this move couldn't trap the Three-Tails for too long, Ice's expression didn't change as he continued to form hand seals rapidly. He needed to use a ninjutsu with stronger control.
The Three-Tails, frozen again, began to struggle violently. Cracks continuously appeared inside the ice that enveloped its body.
"Roar!!!"
Broken ice shards flew everywhere. The Three-Tails broke free from Ice's restraint and roared angrily at the sky.
Then its enormous head lifted slightly, its large mouth opened, and Yin and Yang Chakra rapidly gathered. This time, it was a Tailed Beast Ball used by the fully transformed Three-Tails.
On the other side, Ice also finished his long and complex hand seal process. For a powerful Kage-level fighter to perform such a long hand seal process, it was conceivable that its rank and power were definitely above S-rank.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
"Ice Release: Absolute Zero!"
The enormous Tailed Beast Ball was dozens of times larger than the one used in the semi-tailed beast transformation state just now. Carrying an aura of world-destroying power, it was unstoppable as the Three-Tails fired it towards Ice's location.
Looking back at Ice's side, it was completely silent compared to the Tailed Beast Ball. As the last hand seal fell, ice crystals began to form with Ice as the center. The surrounding temperature plummeted rapidly. Ice crystals spread silently from him towards the Three-Tails, even the air seemed to be frozen.
The Tailed Beast Ball in flight encountered the spreading ice crystals. Without causing a ripple, it was instantly frozen. Then, under the influence of Ice's Chakra, it exploded in the air with a loud crash, the violent explosion sound traveling very, very far, but it was an empty explosion.
However, the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball didn't stop the continued spread of the ice crystals. Soon, the Three-Tails in the distance followed in the Tailed Beast Ball's footsteps, turning into a large ice-sculpted turtle.
At this time, the long-lost sunlight appeared in the sky. The Three-Tails' ice sculpture glittered in the sunlight, emitting a charming light and possessing a unique beauty.
