I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

Chapter 398 - Live Broadcast Against Monsters

Boom!

The massive and grotesque body of the ultimate summoning caused a deafening sound with only one step it took. The lush trees of Konoha beneath its feet seemed fragile, wilting like grass, and a small part of the forest was destroyed with just one step.

It looked at the direction of the residential area greedily, where there were many "food" to fill its empty stomach.

However, as it attempted to take a second step, a purple giant snake suddenly emerged, coiling around the ultimate summoning beast's legs, causing it to crash to the ground.

The colossal black eyes of the ultimate summoning beast stared at the giant snake with greedy eyes. It had a feeling that this snake was the best food he had stumbled upon.

"Eat it! Eat it!" This was the only thought in the ultimate summoning beast's mind at that moment.

"Damn it," sensing the malice from the ultimate summoning beast, the purple-headed snake, named Manda, was also taken aback.

Creatures like them had much better instinct than humans. Moreover, Manda was also a Sage, so he was well aware of the strength of the grotesque creature before it, and because of that, he planned to slip out.

However, with Nagasawa around, Manda dared not mess around. Facing the grotesque monster was dangerous, but running away was even more dangerous.

For the sake of his life, Manda charged forward.

The large mouth located on the belly of the ultimate summoning beast and the green tentacles near its chin began to grow rapidly, helping the creature stand.

Simultaneously, several tentacles were aimed at Manda.

Manda was usually the one who strangled others with his powerful body. However, today, he was the one being strangled.

The tentacles ensnared Manda's body, and Manda instantly lost his grip over the ultimate summoning beast, and he was lifted into the air by the creature's tentacles.

"Even Lord Orochimaru's Manda was taken down instantly?" An Anbu operative near the battlefield said in disbelief.

The reputation of the Sannin was inseparable from the strength of their summoning beasts, which were acknowledged as the strongest summoning beast in the world.

But now, Manda was instantly taken down the moment he attacked, so it was no wonder that everyone was surprised.

At this moment, Manda felt as if he was being torn into pieces.

Right when Manda's life flashed before his eyes, it suddenly felt the tentacles loosened.

Manda seized this opportunity instantly broke free from the tentacles' grasp and immediately distanced himself from the ultimate summoning beast.

It was thanks to a slug's acid liquid that was spewed onto the ultimate summoning beast, corroding its flesh.

Szzzz!

The ultimate summoning beast was at the mercy of the slug's acid. Its body oozed thick, viscous green blood, emitting corrosive white smoke. The acid was slowly eroding its flesh.

"Orochimaru, don't summon me for a month." Manda said in a low voice once he successfully escaped.

Although it was brief, Manda actually suffered serious injuries because of the tentacles. Hadn't the slug stepped in, he might have been torn apart alive. The power of that creature was simply insane.

"Heh." Orochimaru chuckled without saying anything, but he also undid the Summoning Technique as Manda was indeed injured.

"This monster seems to be nothing more than powerful. It's quite dumb actually," Tsunade analyzed.

"Tsunade, don't underestimate that creature; it's not that simple," Jiraiya said solemnly.

Jiraiya's perception was slightly more acute than Tsunade's, and the creature before him gave him a bad feeling.

"Food..." When the ultimate summoning beast noticed Manda's disappearance, it shifted its gaze to the slug, which seemed as nutritious as Manda. Its green tentacles were now directed at the slug.

However, unlike Manda, the slug was not panicked. Despite being a mere clone, it was one of the three Great Sage Regions' master, so she remained calm.

"Water Release: Gunshot!" Gamabunta, the toad summoned by Jiraiya, made his move. He opened his large mouth and spewed out a massive water sphere towards the ultimate summoning beast.

The Sannin stared intently, intending to see the extent of the damage this attack could cause.

Water Release: Gunshot was one of the Ninjutsu that Gamabunta was proud of, known for its exceptional power.

But something unexpected happened.

The tentacles that were aimed towards the slug returned, covering the ultimate summoning beast's entire body. Then, the ultimate summoning beast wriggled for a moment, and afterward, a turtle shell covered its whole body except for its head.

The ultimate summoning beast pulled down its head, and its entire body was now protected by the turtle shell.

Boom!

The massive water sphere struck the turtle shell and caused a tremor.

However, when the Sannin looked at the creature, they were astonished to find not a single crack on the green shell.

"How did this creature suddenly take out a turtle shell?" Tsunade was dumbfounded.

"Interesting." Orochimaru stared at the ultimate summoning beast with keen interest.

In his opinion, this creature was definitely not normal; it must have been created through some kind of experimentation.

"Are you all ready? I've placed the markings," Minato said as he appeared before the Sannin.

The Sannin nodded simultaneously, indicating that they were ready.

Since Nagasawa mentioned that four people were needed to user the Four Crimson Ray Formation, the Sannin and Minato stepped in. Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained on the venue to maintain order and prevent any disturbances.

Seeing that the Sannin were ready, Minato swiftly transported them to the designated position before heading to his designated location.

"Ninjutsu: Four Crimson Ray Formation!"

The four of them simultaneously unleashed a massive Chakra. Giant red screens of light emerged, forming a colossal cube that enveloped the ultimate summoning beast and a large portion of the southeastern forest.

The light screens were towering, reaching hundreds of meters in height, dwarfing even the colossal body of the ultimate summoning beast, which occupied only one-sixth of the screen's height.

The sudden appearance of the red screens caught the attention of the Chunin Exam participants.

Since the Forest of Death was so lush, and perhaps partly due to the barrier placed there, the participants were unable to spot the ultimate summoning beast. However, it was impossible not to notice the hundred-meter-tall red screens.

"Is that the legendary Four Crimson Ray Formation? It is said to be the most powerful Barrier Technique that required four Kage-level Shinobi," a Jonin from Konoha exclaimed in disbelief.

Genin might never heard of this Ninjutsu, but even someone like this Jonin had never witnessed the actual use of this legendary Barrier Technique as the requirements were too hard.

Onoki silently sat in his seat, but he had already lost interest in watching the live broadcast of the Chunin Exam. Instead, he focused on the ongoing battle in the southeast.

One of the main reasons Onoki came to Konoha was to assess Nagasawa's strength and see for himself if Nagasawa had reached the level of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. This was crucial, as it would influence Iwagakure's future plans and policies.

If it were not for the fear of being suspected of having ulterior motives, Onoki would have flown to the scene to observe the battle.

As they erected the Four Crimson Sun Formation, Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately dispelled the Summoning Technique to avoid exhausting their Chakra. Summoning such a powerful beast consumed an enormous amount of Chakra, after all.

When the ultimate summoning beast noticed that the two nutrient-rich "foods" disappeared from its sight, it grew furious.

"Roar!" Its bulky green body squirmed again, and the green turtle shell vanished, replaced by two additional heads.

The newly grown heads were similar to the original one, triangular with large eyeballs, but they lacked the octopus-like lower jaw, replaced by a huge mouth.

The two new heads, along with the original one on its abdomen, let out screeching roars.

The invisible soundwaves from the ultimate summoning beast instantly crushed the trees upon contact.

The speed of the soundwaves was astonishing, and in an instant, the entire area within the barrier was devoid of trees.

However, the Four Crimson Ray Formation was the ultimate Barrier Technique capable of withstanding even the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. The invisible soundwaves struck the red screens, but it didn't even left a scratch on the Four Crimson Ray Formation.

However, the trees disappearing spoke volume of the terrifying impact of the soundwaves.

The well-informed Jiraiya frowned and exclaimed, "I have seen that move somewhere. It's a bird-like summoning beast, but its effect isn't as terrifying. At full power, it can only destroy things within a five-meter radius using sound."

Seeing that its attack had no effect, the ultimate summoning beast hesitated for a moment, unsure of why things turned out this way.

Following this, the ultimate summoning beast took large strides towards the edge of the barrier. In front of the red screens, it opened the large mouth on its abdomen, revealing razor-sharp teeth.

It wasn't planning to bite the barrier; the teeth were merely its tools for feeding, not intended as weapons.

Its teeth might not be a weapon, but there were weapons on its teeth. White, slender tentacles protruded from its teeth.

Because they were white, they were generally attached to the teeth and might be challenging to spot without careful inspection.

The white tentacles on the ultimate summoning beast's teeth suddenly grew bigger and longer. From a distance, it looked like the creature had spewed out numerous white tentacles.

The white tentacles wriggled and then sprayed yellow acid at the barrier.

Some of the acid dripped onto the ground, immediately melting the ground.

Despite revealing its astonishing corrosive power, the red barrier remained unscathed.

"Is that all you've got?" Nagasawa, who had been observing the ultimate summoning beast, revealed a somewhat disappointed expression. He thought he had encountered something extraordinary, but it seemed less impressive than he expected.

According to his perception, the ultimate summoning beast's aura even surpassed that of the former Hokage, Tobirama Senju, by a tiny bit. However, it moved purely based on instinct, lacking intelligence.

Even if Nagasawa didn't intervene, the current Konoha could handle it with ease. After all, dealing with something brainless like this was entirely different from fighting against a Shinobi.

"Since I'm already here, I'll use you to showcase a portion of my strength." Nagasawa moved his body slightly and created a Shadow Clone to bring the leftover surveillance devices from the Chunin Exam.

"Behave yourself!" Nagasawa used the Flying Thunder God Technique to enter the barrier, appearing beside the ultimate summoning beast. His right arm was covered in pitch-black Color of Arms Haki, and he struck the ultimate summoning beast.

Boom!

A tremendous shockwave erupted, and the overwhelming force hit the ultimate summoning beast's body.

Before the ultimate summoning beast could figure out what had happened, it felt an irresistible force descending upon it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ultimate summoning beast was sent flying, crashing into the ground. The impact caused quite a mess that it obscured the vision.

However, it wasn't enough to obstruct Nagasawa because it had been a long time since he relied on his naked eyes to perceive the world. He mostly relied on his Sensory Abilities. On top of Color of Observation Haki, he could use Sensory Abilities from Naruto universe and Transparent World from Demon Slayer universe

In Nagasawa's perception, the ultimate summoning beast's current state was the same as when it first appeared.

As the ultimate summoning beast stood up, the wound on its foot from Nagasawa's attack had already healed. When the ultimate summoning beast glared fiercely at Nagasawa, there was no visible sign of injury on its foot.

"Multiple abilities, huh? Not bad." Nagasawa smiled upon seeing the impressive regenerative ability of the ultimate summoning beast.

It had natural regeneration and it was quite tough.

If the ultimate summoning beast couldn't resist the beating, it might be on the brink of death by the time the surveillance equipment arrived. In that case, Nagasawa wouldn't be able to demonstrate his strength.

"Roar!" The ultimate summoning beast glared angrily at the tiny 'food' in front of it.

"Ah, you have the audacity to yell at me?" Nagasawa raised an eyebrow. The last one who was this bold was the Nine-Tails, who now trembled when seeing Nagasawa (at least according to Kushina).

Nagasawa vanished from his original position and suddenly reappeared beside the ultimate summoning beast, delivering another powerful punch.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ultimate summoning beast was once again sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground, creating a massive pit.

This caused even Jiraiya, who was maintaining the barrier, to break into a cold sweat. He thought Tsunade's strength was already monstrous, but now he seemed to be mistaken.

Roar! Roar!

Having been sent flying twice, the pain coursing through the ultimate summoning beast fueled its anger. Its three large mouths opened simultaneously, preparing to deliver a destructive blow to that tiny 'food.'

At this moment, the screen on the main stage abruptly changed. Instead of showing the Chunin Exams, it displayed red barrier and the grotesque giant creature inside.

"What the heck is this!" Some wealthy and influential person who couldn't see the ultimate summoning beast's location was startled by the sudden appearance of this hideous creature.

"Such a frightening monster," someone commented.

Onoki was somewhat surprised to see the monster on the big screen.

'Are you that confident?' Onoki said in his heart.

If the battle didn't go smoothly, it would be a disgrace to the entire world.

However, since there was a live broadcast, Onoki shifted his gaze back to the big screen.

At this moment, even those who didn't understand the significance of the monster's roar could tell it was exceptionally angry. It was too obvious—its tentacles on the jaw were waving around as if it had exploded in anger.

The big screen focused on each of the four individuals maintaining the Four Crimson Suns Formation, then gave a close-up of the ultimate summoning beast. Finally, the camera shifted to the only person inside the barrier—Nagasawa.

Compared to the colossal body of the ultimate summoning beast, Nagasawa appeared exceptionally tiny. The vast difference in size was evident as the camera gradually zoomed out.

However, Nagasawa didn't show a trace of fear. In fact, he was smiling, exuding confidence.

"Now that all preparations are complete, it's time for you to die." Nagasawa raised his right fist, and a blue quake bubble appeared on his clenched fist.

Tremor-Tremor Fruit was indeed the perfect way to start the show.
