Hualala...
Nine chains trembled, their color golden, as if they bound the entire space. Four Tails, who was in the middle, screamed to the sky. No matter how hard it struggled, it was difficult to break free.
"Damn it, damn it! How could it be, what happened!?"
The Sharingan pattern in Four Tails' eyes disappeared, replaced by orange sclera and white pupils. Obviously, it had regained consciousness. Seeing the situation at this time, although it didn't know what happened, it still struggled instinctively.
Unfortunately, Adamantine Sealing Chains is the ultimate sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. It is already quite terrifying even if ordinary people use it, not to mention that the current user is Ishigami Hara. When he activates it, even the tailed beasts will find it difficult to break free.
Even if Ishigami Hara only has 30% of his chakra left, it is still the same.
"Brat, let me go!!!"
Four Tails opened its mouth and wanted to condense Tailed Beast Ball, but was hit by a chain directly on its face, and its skin was torn, howling miserably.
"Please be quiet."
Ishigami Hara's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable tone.
"Wait for the war to end, I will give you freedom. Now, be quiet."
The freedom that Ishigami Hara spoke of may be different from the freedom that Four Tails understood, but... who cares.
Four Tails was still struggling.
The tailed beasts are all unruly, and Four Tails was no different.
Naturally, it didn't want to let itself be sealed by a little devil, but the Adamantine Sealing Chains in this state were not something Four Tails could break free from.
After all, the Adamantine Sealing Chains that Ishigami Hara cast were the highest nine chains, and they were not reserved.
Ishigami Hara bit his finger, quickly forming seals, then pressed one hand on the top of the Wood human's head.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
A burst of white smoke dissipated, and a huge wooden basin appeared in front of Ishigami Hara.
The wooden basin was very simple and looked like a bathtub, more than half a person's height.
The outer periphery was hooped with three circles of special metal, and there were dense spells on the surface.
There was a circle of straps wrapped in the middle, and a tightly fitting lid on the top.
Ishigami Hara opened the lid, made seals with both hands again, and then shouted softly.
The chain behind his waist suddenly tightened, pulling Four Tails closer to Ishigami Hara, and in the process, the chains of Adamantine Sealing Chains became tighter and tighter.
At the same time, Ishigami Hara placed his other hand on the wooden barrel, and a chain suddenly shot out from the opening of the wooden barrel, merging with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, then dragging Four Tails into the wooden barrel.
Four Tails struggled throughout the process, but as the chain dragged, its body got closer and closer to Ishigami Hara. As the distance shortened, its body gradually shrank until it reached the top of the Wood Human, less than two people tall.
"Roar!"
Four Tails roared one last time in frustration, but it was useless. It could only watch itself being swallowed by the barrel. Its eyes finally rested on Ishigami Hara, as if wanting to remember him, full of anger and violence.
Snap!
Ishigami Hara closed the lid and formed seals with his hands. The spell on the barrel spread rapidly, sealing the entire barrel tightly.
This barrel belonged to the Uzumaki clan, the legacy of Uzumaki Mito, inherited by Ishigami Hara. It was a container specifically used to temporarily seal the tailed beasts.
It once sealed Nine Tails, and this time it was used to seal Four Tails, making the best use of it.
After doing all this, Ishigami Hara breathed a sigh of relief. The sealing of Four Tails was not difficult, but Four Tails' Jinchūriki was also sealed at the same time. Orochimaru should be given the responsibility to take care of this matter. Ishigami Hara had no intention of managing this himself.
Looking around the battlefield, this place had been destroyed beyond recognition by the aftermath of his battle with Uchiha Madara. There were ruins everywhere, and no fewer than ten broken mountains, showing just how fierce the battle between them had been.
Feeling his chakra, especially the chakra that had begun to recover as the battle ceased, Ishigami Hara did not hesitate. He raised two fingers, and the powerful Wood Human under his feet turned and headed toward another battlefield.
The battle between Ishigami Hara and Uchiha Madara was over, but the battlefield on the other side still awaited his participation. At this moment, Ishigami Hara's task was to bring the power of victory to completely end this battle.
On the other side, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were holding back Hanzō of the Salamander, who suddenly appeared after they summoned their Summoning beasts and completely restricted the two's movements with his own strength.
Rather than saying Orochimaru and Jiraiya were holding back Hanzō of the Salamander, it would be more accurate to say that Hanzō of the Salamander was holding back Konoha's counterattack single-handedly. As a result, the pressure on Konoha increased suddenly, and the situation became precarious.
"Can you still hold on?" Orochimaru asked.
Not far away, Jiraiya, standing on the head of the big toad, was panting as he looked at the battlefield, his expression firm before resetting.
"Don't worry, I won't die yet."
"Be careful of that guy's poison."
"I'll hold him back, and you lead the charge!"
Jiraiya said, then used the summoning technique again.
With two bangs, two small toads appeared in front of him. "Fukasaku, Shima, thank you for your help."
The two small toads were Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima.
They were not surprised to be summoned at this moment and didn't say anything. They simply jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulders together.
Jiraiya nodded to Orochimaru, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Although I haven't fully mastered it, there's no time to worry about that now."
Sage Fukasaku: "Little Jiraiya, be careful. You can't maintain that state for too long."
Sage Shima also nodded: "Don't die."
Immediately, Jiraiya's appearance changed, his eyes transforming into amphibious eyes, and special lines appeared on his face. "Let's begin!"
As soon as the words fell, the toad under his feet jumped, rushing toward Hanzō of the Salamander.
Hanzō also had a Summoning beast beneath him, another Salamander. Its body color was slightly lighter than the one from the battle with Ishigami Hara, but it was still enormous in size. Facing the attack of the big toad, it showed no fear.
At this time, Hanzō of the Salamander's chest was protected by special armor. How his injury had recovered, no one knew, but his combat strength had clearly returned to normal, which was not necessarily a good thing for Konoha.
Thus, Jiraiya, especially one who had not fully recovered, found himself fighting Hanzō of the Salamander alone.
Even though he had entered Sage Mode, the pressure remained immense, especially since Jiraiya's Sage Mode was incomplete, meaning the power he could exert was naturally less than that of a fully realized Sage Mode.
As a result, Jiraiya soon fell into a disadvantage as time passed, and he accidentally inhaled poison gas, causing his head to become dizzy and his combat power to drop sharply.
Fortunately, with Jiraiya containing Hanzō, Orochimaru summoned the Summoning beast Manda to compensate for Konoha's earlier weaknesses, turning the tide and leading the Konoha shinobi in a successful counterattack.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Hanzō of the Salamander snorted coldly, stomping his feet, and the Salamander beneath him opened its mouth to spray venom, which was about to fall on the big toad.
Gamabunta jumped away quickly but was still visibly contaminated by some of the venom, causing his body to stiffen and weaken.
"Bunta!"
Jiraiya was shocked.
But Gamabunta gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Jiraiya didn't dare hesitate and quickly dispelled the Summoning Technique. Gamabunta vanished in a puff of white smoke.
"Little Jiraiya, the situation isn't looking good."
Fukasaku said in a heavy tone, clearly sensing a bad premonition.
Jiraiya took a deep breath, preparing to speak, but suddenly started coughing violently.
Seeing this, Fukasaku and Shima were alarmed.
At that moment, a loud roar echoed from afar, and the earth shook in sync with it. Both the sound and the vibrations were rhythmic.
It felt like something enormous was approaching, as the noise and the tremors grew closer and closer.
Hanzō of the Salamander was startled, turning his head to look, his expression shifting.
In the distance, a huge Wood Human was quickly making its way toward the battlefield.
Hanzō of the Salamander had excellent eyesight, and even from a distance, he could see the boy held in the arms of the Wood Human.
Hanzō's heart sank.
Even though he saw that the Amegakure shinobi and Iwagakure shinobi currently had the upper hand on the battlefield, he shouted and gave the order, "Retreat!"
Everyone on the battlefield could now see the giant approaching from the distance, and their expressions changed.
The Konoha side looked excited, while the coalition forces of Amegakure shinobi and Iwagakure shinobi appeared grim.
