Chapter 243: The Terrifying Chakra Amount of the Tailed Beasts

“Jonin Mutsuki, you just used such a powerful Combination Ninjutsu. Are you alright?” a Konoha Jonin asked as they were about to set off for support.

“The enemies on Jiraiya-sama’s side are very strong. It would be dangerous if your condition isn’t good.”

Muzuki smiled and thanked him, saying, “I’m fine. I’ve already seized the opportunity to recover some Chakra, so it won’t affect the battle.”

Since Muzuki said so, the Konoha Jonin nodded and said no more, rushing with Muzuki and the others towards the location of the recent explosion.

However, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

“Strong, handsome, humble, and cherishes his comrades. If he weren’t so low-key, he would probably have been famous throughout Konoha long ago.”

Although he had no previous interaction with Muzuki, he was now very willing to become friends with Muzuki, if they could survive the war.

As the few of them were Jonin, their movement speed was extremely fast, and they quickly arrived at the battlefield where Jiraiya was fighting the Jinchuriki.

When Muzuki and the others arrived, both sides seemed to have just concluded a fierce battle. Everyone looked dishevelled, and there were several bodies of Iwagakure Ninja and Konoha Ninja on the ground.

“Jiraiya-sama, we have repelled the attacking Iwa Ninja Force and achieved a great victory. We have come to provide support,” the Konoha Jonin quickly reported to Jiraiya.

“Haha, well done!” Jiraiya laughed loudly.

Although he had somewhat anticipated it when he saw Iwagakure’s signal earlier, Jiraiya was even happier to hear that it was a great victory.

Minato saw Muzuki approaching and was somewhat surprised, but with a formidable enemy at hand, he didn’t go over to ask questions.

“Did you hear that? You’ve already lost,” Jiraiya said provocatively to the two Jinchuriki with a smile.

“As long as we are still standing here, Iwagakure has not lost,” Roshi said with a cold face.

He didn’t put those Konoha Ninja in his eyes at all. In his view, it was just a matter of using one more Tailed Beast Ball.

“If we kill all of you and break through the front line, then we, Iwagakure, will be the winners,” Han said indifferently. He didn’t believe Jiraiya could defeat him and Roshi combined.

The previous attacks were merely probing; they hadn’t yet revealed their true strength.

“Big words. Let me show you the power of Jiraiya of the Sannin,” Jiraiya said with a smirk, very confident in his own strength.

“You’ll soon know who’s speaking big words,” Roshi laughed when he heard Jiraiya’s words, then directly unleashed the Tailed Beast Chakra within his body.

Boom! Boom!

An incredibly powerful aura suddenly rose. Just by releasing the Chakra, the ground couldn’t withstand this immense power and began to crack.

Almost tangible red Chakra manifested around Roshi, eventually forming a gigantic ape head.

Seeing Roshi bring out his true abilities, Han, who was beside him, also used his full power, unleashing the Tailed Beast Chakra within his body, forming a gigantic white beast head.

The moment the two unleashed their Chakra, a strong wind was stirred up, blowing Jiraiya’s hair backward and also kicking up dust from the ground, making the atmosphere solemn and murderous.

“Is this a Jinchuriki? What terrifying Chakra,” a Konoha Ninja said, seeing the terrifying might of Roshi and Han, and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

The Chakra of the two was so strong that it could be sensed without any sensory Ninjutsu.

Muzuki calmly gave the two an appraisal.

【Name: Roshi】

【Chakra: 3,250,000 (???)】

【Skills: Lava Release (Mastery: 100/15000)… 】

【Name: Han】

【Chakra: 3,650,000 (???)】

【Skills: Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength (Proficient: 2200/2500)… 】

Muzuki couldn’t really say if the two’s stats were strong or not. If he said strong, then more powerful Jonin had much higher skill proficiency than them. If he said not strong, then their Chakra was ridiculously abundant; it could be said that all the Chakra of everyone on their Konoha side combined was far less than half of either of them.

“The amount of Tailed Beast Chakra is indeed terrifying,” Muzuki sighed in his heart. His appraisal showed that the Chakra of the two was still rapidly increasing.

If not for the Tailed Beast, Roshi would still be okay, but Han would at most be a passable Jonin.

Because Roshi’s Lava Release was his own, Muzuki could see his mastery-level Lava Release skill. But Han’s Boil Release was the Lord Fifth’s ability, so Muzuki could only see the application of Boil Release, not the Boil Release skill itself.

When their Chakra increased to over five million, it stopped rising. Muzuki didn’t know if this was their limit or the Four-Tails’ and Lord Fifth’s limit, but for Muzuki, this was already a terrifying number.

This shows the importance of skills. Even with a huge amount of Chakra, the Jinchuriki were eventually captured by the Akatsuki Organization. If Muzuki had that much Chakra, with his array of powerful, high-proficiency skills, he could solo the Akatsuki Organization.

“If you want to fight us, go bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! You’re not qualified enough!” Roshi shouted with a laugh, then began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball.

The ape head opened its mouth wide, and terrifying Chakra began to condense, finally forming a small black sphere. The black sphere grew larger as Roshi continuously infused Chakra into it.

On the other side, Han, the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki, also silently began forming a Tailed Beast Ball. Two black spheres continuously grew larger.

“It’s different from last time. It seems this time they’re truly going all out, Minato, we need to retreat,” Jiraiya said with a serious expression.

Roshi had used a Tailed Beast Ball once before, but the commotion was much smaller than this time, and this time Han also used one.

“Everyone, gather around me!” Minato’s face also drastically changed as he sensed the terrifying power within the Tailed Beast Ball, and he quickly shouted.

He could feel that the power of the black sphere was enough to instantly destroy the entire Konoha. Faced with such a terrifying attack, although he highly trusted Jiraiya’s strength, he didn’t believe Jiraiya could block this terrifying Tailed Beast Ball. Dodging with the Flying Thunder God Technique was the best strategy.

Muzuki immediately went to Minato’s side. Although he could also run out of the attack range himself, that would expose his true strength. It was better to hitch a ride.

Minato’s two teammates knew of Minato’s abilities, so they quickly moved towards him. The few Konoha Jonin were the last to arrive, but they also successfully reached Minato before the Tailed Beast Ball hit the ground.

“Flying Thunder God Technique!”

Minato quickly covered the surrounding few people with Chakra, taking them with him to leave.

Whoosh!

Rumble!!!

A violent explosion of light shot straight into the sky. The moment the Tailed Beast Ball hit the ground, the ground began to rapidly crack, forming an enormous crater.

The commotion from the two Tailed Beast Balls was so great that even though Minato and the others left using the Flying Thunder God Technique, they could still see the terrifying white light of the explosion and feel the slight tremors of the ground.

“Phew, have we already arrived in the Pure Land?” a slightly chubby Ninja with dark skin couldn’t help but complain.

“Apparently not, but if Minato hadn’t learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, we probably would have gone to the Pure Land,” the black-haired Ninja sighed.

Only by experiencing a Tailed Beast Ball head-on could one understand the importance of a Jinchuriki. He felt that if one of these hit the Konoha Ninja camp, no barrier or defensive Ninjutsu could possibly stop it.

Minato let out a soft breath. It was also his first time experiencing a Jinchuriki’s full-power Tailed Beast Ball; its destructive power was truly terrifying.

If his Ninjutsu had failed just now, everyone would have died under the Tailed Beast Ball.

“The power of a Tailed Beast is actually so terrifying. Such a monster also resides within her body…” Because of Roshi’s last words, Minato couldn’t help but think of Kushina, who was far away in Konoha.

Konoha had made Kushina undergo special training precisely to make her unleash the Nine-Tailed’s power.

“Thank you, Minato,” Muzuki said with a smile, thanking Minato.

Muzuki’s words pulled Minato out of his thoughts.

Minato replied with a gentle smile, “Helping comrades during battle is only natural.”

“I know you two are close, but now isn’t the time to reminisce. The rest of you go back to guard the camp. Minato, you teleport us back,” Jiraiya said after pondering tactics for a while.

Once the Jinchuriki went all out, ordinary Jonin would be useless in battle. Minato would also have to waste extra Chakra using the Flying Thunder God Technique to protect them. He planned to take the team he personally trained and confront the two Jinchuriki.

“Jiraiya-sama, I think I can stay and help a little,” Muzuki volunteered to stay.

He didn’t come all this way just to see the power of a Tailed Beast Ball and then leave.

“Jonin Mutsuki is much stronger than us. This battle’s victory was largely thanks to Jonin Mutsuki. He severely wounded Explosion Release Hunter from Iwagakure and killed many Iwagakure Ninja.”

To ensure Muzuki’s good intentions were understood, the Konoha Jonin who was on the same battlefield as Muzuki briefly explained Muzuki’s achievements in this battle.

“That Hunter was actually defeated by you,” Jiraiya said, somewhat surprised after hearing this.

In Jiraiya’s impression, Muzuki was just an ordinary Special Jonin who cooked well and had good Sealing Technique talent. But that Explosion Release Hunter was not an easy opponent to deal with. Among the Konoha forces on the Land of Grass frontline, besides him, only Minato had the ability to defeat Explosion Release Hunter in a solo fight.

“He underestimated me. Actually, I’m only a little bit stronger than him,” Muzuki said modestly.

“I didn’t expect you to have such strength,” Jiraiya said with a hearty laugh, patting Muzuki’s shoulder.

“Then let’s go together and let those two Jinchuriki know the power of Konoha Ninja!”

Minato’s expression was even more surprised than Jiraiya’s after hearing Muzuki’s achievements. While fighting the Jinchuriki just now, he had occasionally worried about Muzuki, who was on another battlefield. He never expected Muzuki to be so strong, even defeating Explosion Release Hunter.

“Muzuki, this is my Flying Thunder God Kunai. You take it for now,” Minato handed a Flying Thunder God Kunai to Muzuki.

Muzuki didn’t act coy, thanked Minato after taking it.

“Everyone get ready, we’re going back,” Minato reminded them, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique ten seconds later.

Whoosh!

The scene before their eyes changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Muzuki and the others were back on the battlefield, standing at the edge of the crater, while the two Jinchuriki were still at the spot where they had just unleashed their Tailed Beast Balls.
