At this moment, Han's will was a bit fuzzy. Chōmei's Chakra was constantly causing damage inside his body.
Compared to Dai's [One Thousand Years of Death] (a unique and rather painful attack), his internal injuries this time were even more severe.
"Han, leave it to me."
"I'll avenge you."
Kokuō saw an opportunity. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he tempted Han once again.
He didn't want to stay inside this body any longer. This time, as long as he could take control of the body, he would devour Han no matter what.
"No~ it's not okay."
Han still had this last bit of obsession in his heart, but it was of no avail.
"Haha, so it's okay then."
Kokuō laughed maniacally and broke through Han's final will defensive line.
There was another change in Han's half-Tailed Beast mode, and the Chakra on his body was no longer under control.
"Ah~"
Han let out an unconscious scream, and his figure began to visibly swell.
The Tailed Beast Chakra rioted, and the temperature in the air started to rise.
After a moment, a white beast with five horns on its head appeared in front of Tsunade.
The complete form of the Tailed Beast.
Kokuō had come out.
"Haha, I'm finally out."
"Woman, I won't let you go."
Kokuō spoke human words, opening its huge mouth almost to the throat.
Its eyes were fixed intently on Tsunade charging towards it, and its butt still ached faintly.
"Whimper~"
Kokuō's eyes showed a cruel look and it quickly landed.
It exerted force with its hind hooves, leaving two deep marks on the spot.
Steam with high temperature emanated from its body. It was getting faster and faster, and rushed towards Tsunade with the sound of a train.
"Be careful, Kokuō is very powerful."
Seeing Kokuō slightly lower its head and aim the horns on its head at Tsunade, Chōmei, who isn't very well - informed, provided intelligence from inside the body.
"Got it."
Tsunade's eyes sharpened. She wanted to see just how powerful Kokuō was.
The Chakra on her wings shone brightly, and her speed increased again.
Without retreating or avoiding, she wanted to personally experience Kokuō's power.
Heavenly Foot of Pain[b]Heavenly Foot of Pain[/b] (a powerful kicking technique).
Tsunade stomped her right foot hard in the gap between Kokuō's five horns.
"Ow~"
Kokuō let out a scream and was dizzy from the stomp.
It shook its head, and blood splashed everywhere. Tsunade was thrown far away.
"Bang~"
Tsunade fell heavily to the land, and there was a fist-sized blood hole in her right leg.
"It's stronger than before."
Without bothering about the wound on her leg, Tsunade stood up, and the wound was slowly healing.
[Creation Rebirth] had played its due role.
"I've already said so, but you didn't listen."
"Well, now look what happened."
"Holy crap! Where's your wound?"
Chōmei, who isn't very well - informed, made a fuss inside Tsunade's body.
In previous battles against Shukaku, Tsunade disdained to use [Creation Rebirth] for minor injuries.
"What a fuss - pot!"
Tsunade didn't have the time to deal with this chatterbox.
Kokuō had now come to its senses. It shook its head, and its eyes regained clarity.
"Damn it."
Seeing Kokuō open its mouth and a large amount of Chakra starting to gather, Tsunade knew what it was planning.
It's just a [Tailed Beast Ball]. Who said she couldn't do it?
Chōmei well fulfilled the duty of a power bank and provided a massive amount of Chakra without saying a word.
Tsunade completed the transformation into a half-Tailed Beast form.
Two Tailed Beast Balls collided in mid-air.
The huge explosion startled the ninjas on both sides.
What good luck! They even have to be careful of Tailed Beast Ball attacks while fighting for their lives.
The ninjas on both sides, who had experienced this once before, regained their composure after a moment.
They didn't care about the explosion of the Tailed Beast Balls and continued to fight.
ōnoki had noticed the commotion a long time ago.
But he was being closely watched by Kawaki, so he couldn't spare a hand to rescue Han for the time being.
Instead, he hoped that Tsunade could subdue the Five-Tailed Beast. If so, Han might still have a chance of survival.
As for whether he could save Han from Tsunade's hands, he didn't consider it for the moment.
He couldn't accept the consequence of losing a Jinchūriki.
"Hey, you're still alive?"
Kawaki twisted his neck. Although he no longer had the Sage Mode, his condition wasn't affected much.
He just didn't look very good, but still better than ōnoki.
This old man would be able to beg for more alms if he went out with a begging bowl now.
"You're not dead either, are you?"
ōnoki wasn't willing to be mocked by Kawaki verbally. It was hard to tell his expression on his dark face.
"I'll send you to hell."
Kawaki raised his hand and shot out a shower of tiny Senbon.
Each Senbon whistled through the air towards ōnoki.
ōnoki could easily block these with an Earth Flow Wall[b]Earth Flow Wall[/b], but he dodged instead, obviously having intelligence about this.
"Earth Release: Yomi Marsh[b]Earth Release: Yomi Marsh[/b]."
After ōnoki formed the hand seals, the ground beneath Kawaki's feet turned into a huge marsh. In an instant, his calves were engulfed.
"Earth Release: Falling Clay[b]Earth Release: Falling Clay[/b]."
Seeing that Kawaki's legs were trapped, ōnoki couldn't help feeling proud and cast another jutsu.
A strange spatial hole opened above Kawaki's head, and a large amount of clay poured down on him.
If he was trapped by the clay, ōnoki could use a Fire Release[b]Fire Release[/b] jutsu to turn him into mud.
"Who do you think you're looking down on?"
Kawaki didn't even bother to struggle. He activated the Flying Raijin[b]Flying Raijin[/b] and disappeared from the marsh instantly.
When he reappeared, he was at the place where ōnoki had been standing.
"Take this punch."
Without hesitation, Kawaki rushed towards ōnoki.
"Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique[b]Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique[/b]."
ōnoki didn't choose to dodge. Kawaki was much faster than him.
His right hand turned into a hard rock fist again. With the boost of the Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique[b]Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique[/b], its power was terrifying.
Their fists collided. The rock fist shattered again, and Kawaki felt a huge counterforce, but his body didn't fly out.
He felt a sweet taste in his mouth, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He was injured.
"Do you feel your body getting heavier?"
ōnoki wasn't angry because his rock fist was broken. He knew that Lightning Release[b]Lightning Release[/b] naturally countered Earth Release[b]Earth Release[/b], and this was all within his expectations.
His real purpose was to increase Kawaki's weight and slow him down.
In this way, he could break free and go to support Han.
As ōnoki spoke, he glanced in the direction of Kokuō.
The two fully transformed Tailed Beasts were locked in a fierce battle.
Kokuō couldn't hit Chōmei flying in the air, so it kept firing Tailed Beast Balls.
The battlefield over there was in a really bad state.
"You're really good at scheming."
Kawaki checked the mobility of his limbs. He could move, but his speed would definitely be greatly affected.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The injuries from earlier had already healed.
"I don't have time to mess around with you."
Ōnoki felt Kokuō's Tailed Beast Chakra becoming more and more violent. If this continued, Han would surely die.
Even if he was saved now, his lifespan would be greatly affected. But still, it was good that he could stay alive.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ōnoki took off into the air and headed towards where Kokuō was.
"The old guy is so crafty!"
Kawaki tried running. It wasn't that slow, but compared to his normal speed, it was like a snail's pace.
Looking at Ōnoki's figure in the air, he really wanted to chop him down again.
"You're running low on Sage Chakra. Don't even think about it."
Katsuyu Sage seemed to know what Kawaki was thinking.
"Forget it. I'll go see Tsunade."
Kawaki used the Flying Raijin[b]Flying Raijin[/b] and landed on Chōmei's back.
