Outside the barrier created by the five elders of the clan Uzumaki, another shield had been created.
A human shield driven by courage, desperation, hope, and hatred brought to them by the enemy that invaded their island.
They hoped that each second that they fought each, enemy that they took with them in the afterlife wasn't in vain as it helped their children that had left the island.
"Continue the fight, kill as many of them as you can until you can no longer move!"
Even with the numerical advantage the ninjas of Kumo weren't able to end their opponent
Looking at the wall of red hair blocking his way to his friend and the biggest weapon of his village coming to him like a horde of zombies Yasoi was starting to understand why they had to be eliminated
some of them had swords and kunai embedded in their flesh and still, they continued the fight
Turning around he could see that his men were starting to be affected by this atmosphere even though they had an overwhelming advantage
'This isn't good,' he thought
With his experience, he knew that wasn't good and that he had to change things and regain the advantage
"Arghh..." Letting out a scream of rage he charged forward killing his opponent
"... follow me, advance kill them, this is nothing but the desperate struggle of dying men, kill them and save Futai we can lose the eight tail,"
"Yes, follow the commander,"
Every ninja of Kumo followed the footsteps of their leader with renewed vigor
'I can't believe that I'm behaving like a samurai now! doesn't matter, the situation demands it,' with that in mind they continued moving forward
Inside the barrier, Azuno using his adamantine chains like wipes was wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
From each of his palms, a massive golden chain seemingly capable of tearing apart every it touched was flowing gracefully
with each move of the hand, the chain took an unpredictable angle before cutting in two parts another ninja of Kumo.
The battle had only started a few minutes ago but the ground was already filled with dead ninjas who had for the most part been bisected by the chains of Azuno.
"What kind of monster!!"
"We have to do something,"
"Help!!"
"..."
Diverse comportement was observable in that moment, they had recognized that they were now trapped in a prison with a much more powerful opponent, and in this situation, some even pleaded for help.
"Roarrr,"
as if to answer the cry for help of his camrades another tail appears on Futai's body porting them to five, the chakra cloak around him became even more condensed and bones started to form around it.
"Boom,"
A massive explosion occurred in the barrier and Azuno was thrown out like a canon ball
"Tap," after a few flips he landed on the barrier surrounding them,
It surprised the ninja of Kumo after all, everyone of them who even scratched that wall would start burning alive.
But he barely landed he had to jump away
"Bam,"
He had barely moved away when the bull horns of the beast landed on the barrier
"Roar," it was immediately engulfed in flames making it roar in pain, but it was only for an instant before it continued to chase Azuno moving even faster and faster
"Fush, fush," At the manner of a torero Azuno baited and taunted the bull with a smile on his lips by moving in the most advantageous place before moving out of the way letting it slam on the barrier injuring itself even if it was superficial for something like that.
"Look at me," he said at the tail beast after it slammed once again against the barrier
he then moved toward the crowd of ninjas gathering behind him to slaughter them once more
"Can you see that, your friends have been killing, and you are too weak to do anything about that," he said with a grin on his face
"Roarr," the massive roar of anger of the beast made Azuno smile even bigger
"I guess it worked," he said looking at the six tails sprouting from the body of Futai, his already big smile became impossibly wide when he saw that it was preparing a tail beast bomb
"Wait Futai, stop, don't do that!"
"You will kill us all..."
It seems to work because the ball began to disappear
"Tch," seeing that Azuno's smile start to disappear
"I guess there is still a bit to go," he said and with a big swing, the glowing chain moved at breakneck speed toward the beast.
But at the last moment, it disappeared for a second he lost sight of the beast, but it didn't last long
he reappeared in front of him and impaled him with his massive horn, before dragging him to the ground and being stopped by the barrier
"Coff, Arg, you can control yourself until the six tail I see, I guess you tricked even my mind eyes, impressive,"
Without responding to Azuno's question Futai pulled back his horn from the body of his opponent
"No risk from here," he said Azuno already knew what he was preparing and it was confirmed when he saw how wide he opened his mouth, a massive ball of black energy appeared only to be released at point-blank range on Azuno
"Booom," A massive explosion resounded, dust and debris flew everywhere and finally the barrier created by the old Uzumaki was destroyed
When the dust started to settle Futai still in his tail beast form looked at the bloody body of Azuno Kneeled on the ground and spoke
"You shouldn't have assumed that I can only control five tails, though I do not blame you after all that we spread everyone, there is and there was no way for you to win that fight," said Futai in a nearly malefic voice
"splurt," the sound of flesh being penetrated resounded in the air,
Seeing that the ninja of Kumo started celebrating but the happiness was short-lived
"Clang, clang," the sound of chain sounded in their ears, and in an instant they emerged from from Azuno's whole body
Futai couldn't even react before he found himself completely trapped by the adamantine chains from his feets to his mouth, it's only then that Azuno looked at him with a smile, with his bloody and battered body that smile made Futai shivered
"I'm the Daimyo of Uzushio, it has been more than twenty years since I fought a real fight, so defeating you was never on my mind, we were pretty shocked when we realized that the tail beasts were also from the party it changed everything, we would've been wipe out if you had taken us by surprise luckily god is on our side, even though I never believed in god,"
While in his rant he also ended the hand seals that he was doing,
"Humph, Hm," With his mouth trapped by the chain Futai started to desperately move and struggle
"I guess you can see him, this is a shikigami created by one of our ancestors, this is the god of death, i always wonder how he did that but well doesn't matter now," while he said that the illusory hands of the death god penetrated his body
"Hmmm,"
"Does that hurt? Yes, of course, don't worry, you are not the target so your pain is lower than his,"
At that point, the pain started to intensify and from his stomach, he started to see the chakra of the eight tail coming out of him.
"Arg..." While Futai was screaming in pain immobile as the eight-tail chakra was slowly taken out from him.
"puff," Looking at his chest he saw the sword coming out of his heart with his attention entirely on the extraction of the tail beast he didn't see Yosai coming behind him
"Damn Uzumaki you won't have the eight tail," he said pushing the sword deeper before taking it out and targeting his head
'I guess that's it' thought Azuno while rejoicing that Yosai didn't target his head first
'I'm really too rusty,' at that moment the sword of the death god slashed the soul of the tail beast and at the same time yosai severed Azuno's head
"Slam," with Azuno's death the chains around him disappeared leaving Fuati to fall on his knee holding his stomach in pain
"Are you alright, Futai answer me," panicked Yosai bent down to see the state of his comrade but all he heard was
"He is in excruciating pain," before the horrifying scream of the tail beast resounded in the sky Uzushio Futai fell on the ground uncousious and the wounded eight tail started his carnage.
Not long after on the battlefield of Kiri, the lifeless body of the old Ashino who had lived more than a hundred years fell on the battlefield and as if to accompany him the cries of pain of the four tail who had taken control of his host started his rampage followed by the six tail of Iwa sealed by Izuko Uzumaki a member of the council.
The pain of losing part of themselves, the rage, and the little manipulation made on the seal by the Uzumaki before their death gave them free rein to do whatever they wanted, and what they had in mind was destruction.
