Chereads / Naruto Taught By Aizen (TL) / Chapter 272 - The Final War

Chapter 272 - The Final War

Here's the translation of the passage you provided:

"For the Hidden Cloud, the tailed beasts indeed seem somewhat insufficient. Let's not even talk about the Eight-Tails; even the most powerful Nine-Tails falls short in front of top-tier combatants.

Only when the Nine-Tails became a Shinigami did the situation improve somewhat.

Barely enough to become the top powerhouse of the Hidden Cloud.

So, the status of the tailed beasts has become somewhat awkward.

In the past, tailed beasts were weapons of war, and every ninja village coveted a Jinchuriki with a tailed beast.

The role of tailed beast chakra in wars cannot be ignored.

But now, there are too many ninja techniques and Zanpakuto abilities that surpass the power of tailed beast chakra.

Even among ninjas, there are individuals like Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Nagato.

Compared to those top-tier combatants, tailed beasts seem almost unnecessary.

So, even if Killer B enters the perfect Jinchuriki mode, achieving a one plus one greater than two effect, it's still not enough when facing Orochimaru.

As a perfect Jinchuriki, Killer B's combat abilities undoubtedly surpass other Jinchuriki. With the immense chakra of the Eight-Tails, his speed is almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

Eight tails wave behind him, ready to ensnare Orochimaru at any moment.

The Eight-Tails' appearance is similar to an octopus, and its tentacles have the ability to adhere to and entangle opponents.

"Yo, yo, yo!" Killer B's speed is at its peak, instantly appearing in front of Orochimaru. His eight tails spread out, and his sharp claws descend fiercely on Orochimaru.

A piercing sound of breaking wind fills the air, leaving marks on Orochimaru's face.

"Oh my, what a terrifying power." Orochimaru instantly liquefies, winding up Orochimaru's body along the Eight-Tails.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Pit." The earth rumbles as countless white snakes emerge, viciously biting all over the Eight-Tails.

"Tailed Beast Ball." Killer B immediately uses his tentacles to wrap himself and spins rapidly, creating a massive storm.

"Boom, boom, boom." The entire area is instantly leveled; trees and rocks are sucked in, the earth trembles, and a cloud of dust rises.

Such an attack catches everyone's attention, and the spirits of the ninjas are high.

Killer B's true strength is too formidable. As long as he defeats Orochimaru, the Hidden Cloud Village is sure to win.

However, they are destined for disappointment, even despair.

When the smoke completely dissipates, they see Orochimaru standing unharmed on top of Killer B's head. Killer B lying beneath him has turned purple all over, barely breathing.

"I think you all know, I'm just a weak scientist. Combat is not my strong suit." Orochimaru gracefully jumps down from Killer B's body, lands steadily, and slowly takes out a vial from his pocket.

"Capturing tailed beasts is such a difficult task. I'm actually quite troubled by it." He inserts a needle into Killer B's body, and the liquid is slowly injected into Killer B. Under the influence of the liquid, Killer B's body returns to normal in a very short time, looking pale and weak.

"Tailed beasts are just too powerful, so they must be controlled. For the sake of peace in the entire ninja world, we, the Hidden Sound, have sacrificed too much. I hope you understand."

As he finishes speaking, the attacks of the Third Raikage and the puppet version of Kaku become exceptionally fierce, killing almost instantly several high-level ninjas and severely injuring the Fourth Raikage.

"Bee!!" The Fourth Raikage looks at Killer B lying on the ground in pain, apparently not expecting that Killer B, who was pressing Orochimaru moments ago, would suddenly be defeated.

"What did you do to him?" He shouts in anger.

"Poison. I added poison to the liquid." Orochimaru spreads his hands.

"By studying the Nine-Tails and the One-Tail, I extracted venom that can counter tailed beasts. Once the toxin enters their bodies, their chakra will be disrupted, and they will lose their combat abilities. During the battle with Killer B earlier, I introduced the toxin into his body through snake bites and surgical procedures. Tailed beasts are truly terrifying; they almost got the better of me." Orochimaru slowly takes out a strange device and then places Killer B inside it. With a smile in his eyes, he looks at the enraged Hidden Cloud ninja.

"The Hidden Cloud Village is truly a renowned and mighty ninja village. It has a rich history and legacy. If it weren't for my good luck this time, I might have met my end here." As he speaks, with a scream, the Fourth Raikage's arm is severed, and several high-level ninjas are brutally killed." 

"The machine started operating, and shortly afterward, Killer B showed a painful expression as the Eight-Tails' chakra was continuously extracted from his body.

"Bee!!!" Watching the suffering Killer B, the Fourth Raikage's heart was torn apart.

The life of a Jinchuriki is linked to the tailed beast. Once the tailed beast is extracted, the Jinchuriki will die.

Once the Eight-Tails is extracted, Killer B's fate is death.

As he watched the Eight-Tails' chakra being continuously extracted, the Fourth Raikage panicked. His attacks became more frantic, even trading injuries.

But unfortunately, these puppet versions after being rendered intangible were absolutely not inferior to him in terms of power, and they might even be stronger.

Combined with their pain tolerance, it was already extremely difficult for the Fourth Raikage to protect himself.

"Am I going to die? I didn't expect this to be the end. Damn it, I haven't even had that concert, and I haven't said goodbye to my big brother." Killer B closed his eyes, his body in pain.

"Bee, it seems we're parting ways," the deep voice of the Eight-Tails echoed in his mind, with a hint of reluctance.

"I truly lost this time. The Hidden Cloud is too strong. I'll keep you alive. Train well, and maybe we can meet again." The Eight-Tails hesitated to speak.

Meet again, could they really meet again? Maybe they could.

But knowing Orochimaru, this eccentric researcher, he might turn Killer B into a puppet and an enemy of the Hidden Cloud Village.

From the perspective of the Hidden Cloud Village, they felt a great sense of despair.

The strength of the Hidden Sound was simply too terrifying.

Perhaps the history of the ninja world was truly being rewritten.

"Bee, goodbye." The emotions within the Eight-Tails grew fainter.

In reality, the extraction process of the Eight-Tails had been completed.

Orochimaru retrieved the puppets and revealed a gentle smile. "Farewell, everyone. Look forward to the next great ninja war. We, the Hidden Sound, will warmly welcome you and give you an unforgettable day."

With that, Orochimaru disappeared from everyone's sight with a few leaps.

The entire area fell almost completely silent, with only the shattered ground and corpses bearing witness to the brutality of the battle.

After the Great Ninja War, the Hidden Cloud Village faced its second Waterloo.

This information quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

Major ninja villages, and even major nations, were shocked and even fearful.

The Hidden Cloud Village's strength was unquestionable, boasting multiple Kage-level ninja and many high-level shinobi.

Their Jinchuriki, Killer B, and the Fourth Raikage, A, were unbeatable.

Despite being a scientist, Orochimaru had the ability to control multiple Kage-level individuals, making him a terrifying figure.

From Orochimaru, they also learned about the potential new war that the Hidden Sound might launch.

Everyone felt vulnerable, and residents of various ninja villages and nations were planning to join the Hidden Sound, fearing for their safety.

The times were changing, and the strongest would eventually possess everything.

In Konoha.

"Killer B was captured. Why does the Hidden Sound need to collect tailed beasts?" Tsunade's expression was stern as she pondered deeply.

"They clearly have the power to dominate the ninja world, yet they continue to weaken the major ninja villages. Do they have some mysterious plan? Or are they simply afraid of certain entities?" Tsunade couldn't make sense of it all, and the only thing she could do was accelerate her experiments.

"We must complete the experiments on Wood Release cells and the development of the Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible. These are the turning points for the Great Ninja War." Tsunade's eyes hardened, and she went to her laboratory, looking at a vial of the latest Wood Release cells.

After staring at it for a while, she picked up the syringe, rolled up her sleeve, revealing her pale skin.

The needle hovered over her skin for a while, but ultimately, she didn't inject herself. She sighed and put down the syringe.

"The experiments are not mature enough yet, but our time is running out. If the experiments aren't completed before the war starts, all that awaits Konoha might be its end."

Can Wood Release cells change Konoha's fate and defeat Uzumaki Naruto? Tsunade couldn't provide an answer.

To be precise, everything Naruto displayed might already rival the Sage of the Six Paths, Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.

But aside from continuing the experiments, Konoha had no other options.

All they could do was hope for the elusive experiments to succeed.

In the Hidden Sound.

Jugo, who had been tortured by Orochimaru for over ten days, was on the verge of collapsing.

Fortunately, Orochimaru had finally left to capture the tailed beasts, giving Jugo time to recover.

He lay weakly in the specially reinforced laboratory, his face filled with despair.

"I can't be trapped like this. My mother is still waiting for me." He murmured softly, his eyes filled with a yearning for life.

He knew that if he didn't take action soon, Orochimaru, that mad scientist, would experiment on him to death.

Orochimaru was truly a freak who only cared about research.

In these past ten days, Jugo had gained a rough understanding of the laboratory's security measures.

This moment every week was the weakest point in the laboratory's security.

Today, Jugo finally decided to take action.

He mobilized his remaining chakra, disguised his handprint to mimic that of a laboratory worker, and passed the scan.

As soon as the gate opened, he immediately disguised himself as a lab worker and headed towards the laboratory's outskirts.

He moved quickly because he knew that the Hidden Sound had extremely sensitive chakra detection. He might be detected the moment he left the laboratory.

As expected, when he left the laboratory and reached the streets, he immediately saw several figures flying out of the main hall.

He ran frantically, using all his strength, and finally managed to escape the Hidden Sound.

As he watched several Shinigami disappear from his sight, he laughed wildly, feeling triumphant.

But soon after, he was overwhelmed by deep anger and hatred.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I'll remember this grudge. I'll definitely destroy the Hidden Sound and revive my mother."

Although the Hidden Sound was powerful, he firmly believed that before his mother, they were still vulnerable!

"Has he already left?" Inside the Hidden Sound, Naruto, who was writing, paused for a moment, his hand resting.

"He just left." Shion replied from the side.

Hearing this, Naruto nodded in satisfaction.

"Shion, why did you let Jugo go? He might affect our plans." Shion looked worried.

"I'm going to use him to draw out another being from a different realm," Naruto said with a smile, looking surprisingly cheerful.

"The Otsutsuki clan originates from the cosmos. Their physiological structure is different from humans. Kaguya Otsutsuki has significant research value. Once we capture Kaguya Otsutsuki, the potential of all life might increase. We might even reach new levels of power." Naruto's eyes gleamed with anticipation. 

"After developing his Hollowfication and Shinigami powers to this extent, Naruto already possessed the ability to control the Soul Society.

But even this was not enough.

The Spirit World, the Ninja World, and the Soul Society each have their own energy systems.

He wanted to control the energies of all three worlds, then merge them to create a new energy system, reaching a new realm.

"Let's make preparations soon. The final war is about to begin," Naruto said calmly, his eyes returning to a state of serenity as his spiritual pressure flowed gently within him.

At the same time, within the Soul Society, a strong wind blew, and several beams of light converged in the sky.

The next moment, all the Vizards became restless.

It was the command they awaited.

The total attack moment of the Soul Society was about to arrive!!

After returning to the Hidden Sound, Orochimaru continued to capture the tailed beasts without pause.

In the following days, he effortlessly captured all the remaining tailed beasts.

Some of the tailed beasts succumbed to the Hidden Sound's dominance and were willing to cooperate.

There were also tailed beasts who didn't know how to yield and had to be beaten into submission by Orochimaru through research.

When all nine tailed beasts were fully collected, it also meant that the Hidden Sound's plan was about to begin.

In a small village.

Sasuke sat quietly by a pond, recalling the details of his previous battle with Minato.

In that battle, both of them had held back. Although Minato claimed verbally that Sasuke was inferior to him, Sasuke understood that Minato was holding back. His attacks hadn't caused any harm to Minato.

Furthermore, Minato had only used his Shikai.

After a year of mental and emotional refinement, Sasuke was no longer the arrogant and immature boy he once was.

He had become humble and introspective.

If Minato went all out, it was difficult to say who would win.

Uzumaki Naruto was undoubtedly stronger than Minato. Sasuke was far from Naruto's level.

Sighing, Sasuke suddenly sharpened his gaze and looked toward a patch of grass. A massive spiritual pressure erupted, pressing down on the area.

The trees trembled, and the earth shook.

A creature with white and green markings stumbled out, raising its hands in surrender.

"Who are you?"

Facing Sasuke's threatening question, Jugo gave an awkward smile. "Sasuke Uchiha, I'm here to tell you the Hidden Sound's secrets."

Sasuke's eyes flashed with suspicion. "Hmph." A bolt of lightning flickered, and Jugo was charred black. Sasuke spoke with indifference, "I'm not an Uchiha."

"I apologize to you." Jugo exhaled a puff of black smoke.

"You fight for your inner justice, so I think you must be very interested in how sinister the Hidden Sound's plan is." Jugo revealed a sinister smile.

"Tell me."

Sasuke stood up, looking coldly at Jugo.

In Sasuke, Jugo felt an incredibly terrifying pressure, to the point that even his breath was trembling. He struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva and slowly began to explain his claims one by one."
