"Go to hell, Nine-Tails! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're putting on an act!" Manda roared and charged straight at Kurama.
In the past, Kurama might have leaped into battle like a fox, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. But now, things are different.
In a swift motion, Kurama assumed a solid horse stance. As Manda barreled towards him, Kurama suddenly unleashed a powerful punch!
"Take this! Eight Extremities Fist!!!"
Boom!
The punch landed squarely on Manda's head with precision and force. Kurama' strength was immense—strong enough to crush a reinforced concrete building with a single blow! And now, that strength was amplified several times over! Although Manda's body was too tough to be completely crushed, the impact was anything but light.
"This... how is this possible?! That's Kai Men Baji Quan! Damn it! Where did Kurama learn it? I never taught him that!" Alexander exclaimed in shock. Don't forget, Alexander was a master of martial arts with an A+++ ranking. So Body technique and Hand techniques were second nature to him, so there was no way he wouldn't recognize Kurama' move as one of the eight vajra postures of Kai Men Baji Quan.
Wait a minute—Bajiquan was moved by Kotomine Kirei! That's it! He must have taught Kurama! No wonder Kurama had been visiting the [Fate/Zero] world lately—it was to train in martial arts!
(The stance looks like)
As Manda staggered from the impact, Kurama remained in his horse stance, preparing for the next strike. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the reeling Manda. "Yes! This is it! The true essence of martial arts!"
No one knew that Kurama had a deep passion for martial arts, and it was all Alexander's fault. When Alexander had first subdued Kurama, he used various martial arts moves to beat him into submission while in Ultraman form. During the fight, he yelled that Ultraman knew martial arts and couldn't be stopped by anyone, which planted a seed in Kurama' heart.
If Ultraman could learn martial arts, why couldn't he, Kurama, with hands and feet just like any other creature? Hadn't he seen the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan in Konoha? Plus, he had chakra as his internal force, something even Ultraman didn't have. Martial arts seemed to suit him perfectly!
And so, unbeknownst to anyone, Kurama had secretly become a martial arts master.
"You bastard!" Manda finally managed to shake off the dizziness. He had survived Deidara's explosive art and the attacks of other powerful foes, but Kurama was something else entirely.
"Alright then, bring it on! Shiaa!"
Before Manda could launch his attack, Kurama was already upon him, not giving him a chance. Kurama executed a full set of Bajiquan's Vajra Eight Forms!
Subduing the Dragon(Head)!
Crouching Tiger(Shoulder)!
Mountain Splitting Palm(Elbows)!
Mountain Splitting Axe with Steel(Buttocks)!!
Searching for Horseshoes(Hips)!
Climbing the Mountain(Knees)!
Tiger Embrace(Feet)!
(Ps: Bajiquan is a martial art that features explosive, short-range power in close-combat and is well known for its rapid elbow and shoulder strikes.)
Seeing Kurama' impressive combo, Alexander suddenly felt an urge to take on disciples. The Vajra Eight Forms were just the foundation of Bajiquan, and the eight ultimate moves that followed were even more challenging, even for someone like Kotomine Kirei.
...Could it be? If this fox mastered those...
Alexander quickly shook his head, dismissing the crazy idea.
At that moment, Manda had been beaten into submission by Kurama' relentless assault. He lay on the ground, utterly defeated, unable to fight back. All he could do was sigh.
Damn it, I could have taken on this Nine-Tails any day, but now I don't even have a chance to fight back?
Manda was at his wit's end. Meanwhile, Kurama stood tall with his hands clasped behind his back. If this had been a master in an immortal stance, it would have looked heroic—but on a fox, it was almost comical. Alexander couldn't help but think, "This is too ridiculous to be real."
"The heights are unbearably cold," Kurama said, pretending to be humble. But he was clearly thrilled with his victory. Looking at the defeated Manda, Kurama suddenly had the urge to keep him around as a punching bag!
He has to admit, Manda was incredibly tough!
"Alright, I'll put you out of your misery. Now, let me show you my special move."
As Kurama spoke, a thick layer of chakra enveloped his paws. Then, a visible Tailed Beast Bomb formed in his hands!
At that moment, Kurama unleashed a powerful punch straight at Manda!
"Manda! Consider yourself honoured to die by my move! Take this! The Fox's Fury!!!"
