Objectively speaking, Haori was still a few circles bigger than the Three-Tails' eyeball, but he didn't refute it. After all, you couldn't expect him to be telepathic with this turtle.
It didn't matter anyway. The battle wasn't about whose eyeballs were bigger. Even comparing whether their eyes were redder was more meaningful than comparing their size.
There was a moment of silence on the lake surface.
Haori was thinking about where to start attacking this huge creature.
And the Three-Tails was thinking, is this guy knocking on my heartstrings in my sleep?
Silence on this side, but the kids on the other side started talking.
"What… what is that?"
Looking at the Three-Tails' ferocious appearance, Haku seemed a little nervous. Could one person stop something this big? What if it charged over? She wouldn't have any way to protect Mirai at all.
Kimimaro was thoughtful, "It's a Tailed Beast… right? It should be the Three-Tails."
He wasn't sure either. After all, he had only vaguely heard his clan members describe the Three-Tails. But in their words, the Three-Tails was indeed in this location.
But… would anyone actively provoke a Tailed Beast?
Yes, there was. Right in front of them.
Something like the Three-Tails, no one could ignore it. Maybe the Hyuga clan had even considered using it against Kirigakure. But unfortunately, although this destructive weapon was right there in plain sight, the Hyuga clan didn't have the means to tame it.
Controlling a Tailed Beast was much harder than controlling Kimimaro.
"It's the Three-Tails. Me and Haori came here to take a look at the Tailed Beast." Mirai gave a definitive answer in a tone of exploration.
Was this a primary school student writing an observation diary? My Tailed Beast Has Grown Up?
Kimimaro and Haku looked at each other. First, was the Tailed Beast a precious animal that could be observed? Second, it seemed like Haori wasn't planning to leave after just taking a look.
"Then, Mirai-sama… Mirai, what's Haori-sama doing now?" Haku asked again.
Haori was clearly staring at the Tailed Beast.
But Mirai gave a deeper interpretation.
"He's communicating with it."
"Communicating?" Even Kimimaro was a little curious.
"Yes, communicating. Eye contact." Mirai nodded confidently. It was as if she could read both of their gazes.
And in fact, she really could read them, in her own mind.
"First, the Three-Tails said to Haori… 'What are you looking at?'"
"Then, Haori said, 'You said I was looking at you?'"
"Then, the Three-Tails said, 'Try looking at me again?'"
"So, Haori said, 'Try it if you want. I'm looking at you, what are you going to do about it?'"
"Finally, the Three-Tails said, 'Don't think I'm a turtle just because I don't get angry.'"
The scene proved that Mirai's real-time psychological analysis was quite accurate. She directly received the admiration of her companions.
Amazing!
Because as Mirai's words fell, the Three-Tails raised its tail high, like a giant scorpion's stinger, and stabbed towards Haori with speed and ferocity.
From a third-person perspective, this attack from the Three-Tails had both speed and power. It was definitely lethal. But for Haori, who was facing it directly, it wasn't like that.
Everyone's definition of fast and slow is different. For the children, this was already fast. But for Haori, this attack was still slow.
The moment the Three-Tails' tail was about to stab him, Haori quickly shifted back slightly. The tail brushed past his face and stabbed into the water.
Not even a single drop of water splashed on him.
Then, he continued to step forward. The Three-Tails' tail bent like an arch bridge. And Haori quickly rushed to the highest point of the bridge.
He was about to launch a close-range rapid-fire, but at the same time, the Three-Tails' other two tails attacked him from left and right.
He definitely had to dodge. After all, you couldn't resist this kind of heavy blow with your body. Otherwise, he would become the girl who gets sandwiched… Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to join the 177th Activity Branch.
He shifted sideways, passing through the gap between the three tails. Haori dived headfirst, quickly falling vertically. Then, in mid-air, electric arcs began to flash around him. When he was close to the Three-Tails' body, he had already rotated half a turn, adjusting his posture. At the same time, his right hand had already drawn the Iron Sand Sword from his waist.
Lightning flashed on the blade, and magical runes flashed. The sword instantly extended ten meters.
This was the Iron Sand Haori made himself. It was more compatible than the Third Kazekage version he used before.
The sound of the waves covered the hum of the Iron Sand, but the visual effect couldn't be concealed.
The Iron Sand Sword slashed horizontally from top to bottom at the base of one of the Three-Tails' tails. Bright lightning and crimson blood mist shot out together!
The Iron Sand Sword was like it was cutting through steel. In terms of feel, this Three-Tails was harder to cut than the Eight-Tails. But it was just harder to cut, not impossible to cut.
After the brief contact between the Iron Sand Sword and this limb, which was like a flesh and blood body, in seconds, with the Three-Tails' earth-shattering roar and pain, an entire turtle tail was severed at the root and thrown away.
In terms of shape, the Three-Tails had disappeared at this moment. All that was left was the Two-Tails, Matatabi, and… the Two-Tails, Isobu.
But losing a tail wouldn't make the Tailed Beast surrender. On the contrary, it would only make it more brutal.
Isobu's massive body disturbed the water, pushing Haori back a distance. It didn't even care about the tail that had been severed. Then, it turned around and pointed its head at the tiny bug again.
Its huge mouth opened, and a massive amount of energy gathered. A black orb appeared.
Attacking without a word?
The Tailed Beast Ball was indeed a big move, but it was meaningless if it couldn't be released.
Whenever this kind of big move was used, it would inevitably require energy storage. So, when they were going head-to-head with big moves, they were actually often comparing whose activation time was shorter.
A miss is as good as a mile. Short wins, long loses.
So, Haori could even look back at Mirai, who was jumping up and down anxiously on the shore, reminding him that the enemy was about to launch a big move. Maybe he even gave her a reassuring smile?
Then, the Railgun struck first. The bright orange beam pierced the Tailed Beast Ball directly, then entered Isobu's body through its relatively weak neck, followed by the explosion of flesh.
This move was both a skill interrupt and a powerful attack.
After one hit, Haori wouldn't give the Tailed Beast another chance to counterattack. Two minutes of full-magazine ammunition loading was enough to take down the Three-Tails in front of him.
One roar after another, one wave of blood mist after another. The Three-Tails roared, then howled, then became silent. It only took a short time.
This was definitely an unsuitable scene for children. Even Haku couldn't bear to look. Could you not bully the Tailed Beast like that?
But Haori didn't blast Isobu's head off. After all, he just wanted to make the Three-Tails lose its ability to resist, to become a salted fish. He didn't want to directly kill it with the Railgun.
There was no point in killing the Tailed Beast in this way. He needed to try another method.
