Kurama's appearance wasn't just a shock for the 7 Jinchuurikis and the Tailed Beasts. It was shocking for all the Shinobis, including the Kages.
They never expected the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to appear right now.
While Kurama had a proud look on his face as he kept walking towards Araki's position, Araki said with a small smile, "Well, there was no need for you to come right now. This wasn't a threat to me."
"Heh… I don't doubt that. But it would be a pity to miss this party. Isn't that right, siblings?" Kurama's last question was directed at the other Tailed Beasts within the 7 Jinchuurikis.
At that moment, the Four Tailed Jinchuuriki spoke, "You… How are you free?! Why don't I feel the presence of your Jinchuuriki? Did you manage to regain your freedom?! How?!"
It was clear that the Son Goku had switched with his Jinchuuriki to talk with Araki.
Kurama snorted in turn and said, "Why should I tell you?"
At this moment, Araki had gotten out of the Earth Hands of the Third Tsuchikage. He stared at Kurama and said to him, "I was about to suppress the Jinchuurikis with the Wood Release, but since you have appeared, that's also good."
With a serious look, Araki said to Kurama, "Kurama… You can have full reign over the Jinchuurikis, they have your siblings inside them after all. I don't care what happens to them, whether they die or not. But… Not a single attack should hit the other Shinobi here…They are my personal targets!"
"Tch… Way to spoil the fun…" Kurama looked disappointed that he wouldn't get to destroy the humans but ultimately obeyed Araki's words.
Kurama disappeared from his position and charged into the Eight Tailed Octopus and threw him far away from the battlefield. He did the same thing to the other Tailed Beasts.
The Four Tails, Son Goku, grabbed hold of Kurama… But Kurama still managed to use his tail to sweep him away. After that, another lightning-fast quick threw him to the other siblings.
There was a merciless grin on Kurama's face, "It has been a long time since I disciplined you all at the same time… Now then… Let's start!"
With this, the strongest Bijuu started to show its supremacy over the other Tailed Beasts, fighting 7 of them at the same time!
All the 7 Jinchuuriki shuddered upon seeing the wide grin on Kurama's face. They had a bad feeling about it, but they still decided to fight against Kurama.
Meanwhile, Araki decided to focus more on the fight against the Third Raikage, and his son, Ay.
Both of them were clad in their Lightning Armour, but they had realised now… Araki was stronger than them, but his speed was a little slower. However, the Sage Mode seemed to allow him to predict their moves to some extent and perform faster reactions.
Araki jumped to their location with a small grin on his face. While Ay was fumbling a little, the Third Raikage stepped forward to meet Araki with his strongest attacks.
"Thrust of Hell! Two Finger Mode!"
The Third Raikage didn't dare to use 4 Finger Mode on Araki. He was well aware that he needed a strong piercing power to defeat Araki at this point.
Araki raised his brow as he noticed the Third Raikage's two fingers clad in Black Lightning. That was a little interesting…
A Wind Sphere on top of his hand… It was quite similar to Rasengan, but the difference was that it was made entirely of Wind in the form of a sphere.
Araki's Wind Sphere contacted the Third Raikage's Thrust of Hell and was surprisingly equal in terms of power.
Noting that they were nearly equal in terms of power, the Third Raikage switched to the one-finger mode. The strength of his jutsu surpassed what Araki estimated.
It was nearly 5 times stronger than before…
As the Wind Sphere was close to dispersing… Araki had a hint of anxiousness on his face. This Jutsu could indeed injure him���
"Sage Art Wind Style: Wind Bullet Jutsu!"
He took in a large amount of Wind in his mouth and threw out multiple bullets at the Third Raikage's body.
Enhanced by the Sage Chakra, these Wind Bullets managed to pierce the Third Raikage's Lightning Armour. Although it didn't hurt his body, he was still pushed back by the power of these Wind Bullets.
Just as his Thrust of Hell faltered, Araki jumped back a little.
This time, when he backed away, Ay suddenly appeared behind his back while clad in Lightning Armour.
"Lariat!"
"Sage Art Wind Style: Wind Armour! Offensive Mode!"
The Wind Chakra around him suddenly compressed to an incomprehensible level.
However, Ay still didn't feel any threat from this Wind Chakra and continued with his attack.
Just when his arm was about to touch Araki's back, he felt multiple blades cutting his skin apart. It was as if there was a film of Wind Chakra protecting Araki's body… It appeared similar to their own Lightning Armour.
The pain made him falter a little, and this moment was enough for Araki to turn around. He gave a strong kick to Ay's head, and Ay's body was thrown far away… Ay crashed against the bodies of the Shinobi who were arriving to help him out.
It was quite ironic since instead of helping Ay, they were injured by Ay's body.
Araki once again felt the presence of the Black Lightning Panther. It seems the Third Raikage wasn't planning on letting go of this chain attack.
"Well then, time to change the scenery!" He said, while clapping his hands and speaking, "Sage Art Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
From under the earth, thousands of Wood branches started to grow. Each one of them seemed to possess a lot of Chakra.
As soon as it struck the Shinobi who were somewhat dumbfounded at the large scale of the Jutsu, they felt their chakra being sucked by these vines.
It took some seconds for the respective Kages to give orders and start cutting the vines.
However, Araki smirked at this moment, and he said, "Offensive Formation… Wood Dragon Mode!"
The chakra these vines had absorbed transformed their shape in the Wood Dragons. Now… They were much more durable and had an extra skill that Araki could use at any time.
His one and only favourite… explosion!
All the Kages of the Great Villages had seen these Wood Dragons explode the last time they saw them.
They shouted out for their subordinates, "Get far away from these vines!"
"Too late…! You should have ordered that the moment you heard me use this jutsu. It's truly far too late!" Araki said while jumping high in the air and laughing out loud.
Controlling the Wind Chakra around him allowed him to fly to some extent. He stared at the Shinobi on the ground and also the Three Kages of the Great Villages.
"You destroyed Uzushio since they posed a threat to you. Well then, congrats to all of you in turning that threat into reality!"
"I, Senju Araki, declare the end of the Iwa, Kiri, and Kumo!" Araki declared before raising a hand seal.
Ohnoki saw Araki raising that hand seal and shouted with an anxious look, "RUN!" He was in the air so he could be considered somewhat far away from the explosions… But…
"Explode now!"
Thousands of Wood Dragons, encompassing a wide area… Exploded at the same time!
