Chapter 80.2- One Thousand Hands

“What a shame. None of my damage discriminates” I told her with a smile before I allowed Kurama’s chakra seep into my coil. ‘You owe me one, you grump. Give it’ I said in my mind.

‘Knock yourself out’ he grunted.

Four tails formed behind me as I felt my body fill with power that was not mine. This was the minimum I had to reach in tailed beast chakra to use the absolute unit that was the tailed beast bomb.

With preternatural chakra control, it was almost child’s play getting the balance of positive to negative energy perfect. 2:8, and the orb formed in front of my mouth. More and more stones were still forcing their way into the sphere as the Raikage got closer and closer to ripping himself out of it. The entire back half of the sphere was following him, adding to his mass, even as the front half pressed against his body and should have made it impossible to move. It was the perfect prison, but he hadn’t gotten the memo.

I bent downwards, on all four, and perfectly focused. At present distance. It was best if I fired a second or so before he would beak out, and that was now! I shot the tailed beast bomb, leaving the tailed beast mode almost instantly. I watched, gaze cold as he ripped his way through the sphere and came face to face with the tailed beast bomb. I wish I could have said that I thought it was enough. But I got to see his chakra output near double before the bomb hit. I stepped in front of Uzume as the explosion triggered, sending a shockwave that spread through at least half the village. And then there was the damage. Debris flew in every direction, More than a few rocks clattered against my skin to no effect.

Winds battered my body, sending my hair flying in all directions. At some point, I’d lost my hair tie. I couldn’t even remember when that had been if I was being completely honest. Probably at some point when I was wrestling with the Raikage. My byakugan was near useless in this case, blocked by all the dust the tailed beast bomb had caused.

“Futon” I heard Uzume whisper and then the dust was gone.

“Thank you” At least I could be polite these days. There was a massive field. The buildings around had been leveled to the ground. Every skyscraper in the city, of which there turned out to impressively enough be more than a few had been toppled. The collateral damage from the jutsu was clearly more than what the explosion itself had caused. In a crater, rested on one knee, lay our quarry.

Around him was the armour of black lightning Uzume had spoken about. So this was his ultimate mode. Good. I was beginning to tire of all the back and forth. Now I just needed him to whip out that hell stab.
