Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 83

Through a brief encounter, the Third Raikage knew the true horror of the Nine-Tails.

With such terrifying strength, he firmly believed that the Nine-Tails would not willingly remain in Konoha. After the war, the shinobi world might undergo earth-shaking changes, but as long as the Nine-Tails resided in Konoha, the Cloud Village would not dare to invade again.

Now, the Third Raikage only wished to withdraw back to the Land of Lightning, abandoning any further ambitions of war.

Wasn't it better to protect one's home rather than march out to be beaten senseless?

"Third Raikage, how about we compete?"

Kurama asked with evident amusement.

A competition?

There was no need for that. He had already lost moments ago.

But Kurama merely smiled. The competition he was referring to was not between himself and the Third Raikage, but against the Iwagakure forces.

The challenge: breaking out of the Iwagakure encirclement and seeing who could kill more enemy shinobi.

Now, that sounded interesting.

Although the Third Raikage knew he was no match for Kurama, when it came to fighting the Iwa-nin—who he considered fools—he had full confidence in his victory.

"Lord Kurama, I accept this wager."

Kurama had already bested the Raikage, but instead of finishing him off, he healed his wounds, restoring him to his prime state. Moreover, if this unknown warrior sought to break the long-standing balance of power among the tailed beasts, then he could very well be considered a hero of the shinobi world—a savior-like figure.

Throughout history, wars in the shinobi world had always revolved around the struggle for control over the tailed beasts.

For the first time, the Third Raikage called him "Lord" as a sign of respect.

Meanwhile, at the Iwagakure war camp.

Ten minutes had passed.

It was time to move.

Moments ago, news of the battle between Kurama and the Third Raikage had reached the Iwa-nin, including their commander, Kitsuchi. However, they had assumed it was merely a skirmish, a desperate attempt at survival.

But these efforts were meaningless. In Kitsuchi's mind, the outcome for the Third Raikage had already been decided—death in the Valley of Clouds.

"Proceed with the full-scale attack on the Third Raikage," Kitsuchi ordered.

"Lord Kitsuchi, there's something else... there's another warrior with him. A strange-looking man."

Another one?

Kitsuchi was taken aback.

Wasn't the Third Raikage supposed to be the only enemy? Where had this additional threat come from?

His confusion spread among the Iwa-nin.

And then, disaster struck.

Hundreds of Iwa shinobi fell to the combined assault of Kurama and the Third Raikage.

Suddenly, a commanding voice echoed through the Valley of Clouds, dripping with contempt and amusement.

"Iwagakure shinobi, listen well. You are surrounded. Surrender, or die."

Surrender?

Such arrogance.

Kitsuchi scoffed at the absurdity. Their forces numbered over 30,000, while the enemy consisted of only two individuals.

How could they possibly believe they had the upper hand?

Hearing the Nine-Tails' taunts, the Raikage burst into laughter. Even though he had never trusted the tailed beasts, this particular fox had won his respect.

Or maybe foxes just always had a knack for arrogance.

The Cloud shinobi pressed forward with relentless attacks. Battle reports kept flooding into Kitsuchi's tent.

"Lord Kitsuchi, we have lost another 500 men."

"Lord Kitsuchi, our traps—carefully set by 800 shinobi—have been completely dismantled."

"Lord Kitsuchi, what kind of monsters are the Third Raikage and that warrior? We haven't even grazed them."

In the heart of the battlefield, the chaos continued.

"Nine-tails! I've slain 2,022 Iwa-nin!" the Third Raikage called out, his voice brimming with battle lust.

"Only 2022?" Kurama responded with a smirk. "I've already taken down 3,458."

Over a thousand more.

The Third Raikage sighed.

As expected of the Nine-Tails' power.

"Lariat!" Kurama roared, unleashing a devastating charge.

The Third Raikage's eyes widened.

He could feel it—Kurama's Lariat carried more force than even his own.

"When did you learn that? Don't tell me... you copied it just by watching?"

This was the natural talent of a tailed beast.

It seemed his title as the wielder of the "Strongest Spear" was now in jeopardy.

Even the Third Raikage had to admit it: Kurama's technique had already surpassed his own.

Back in the Iwa camp, Kitsuchi was growing restless.

The latest intelligence was grim.

Of their original 30,000-strong army, only about 20,000 remained.

If this continued, they might be reduced to a mere 10,000 in no time.

Had it been just the Third Raikage, they would have been confident of victory.

But that unknown warrior... that beast in human form...

Not only was he as strong as the Raikage, but he was even deadlier.

He had killed more of their shinobi than the Raikage himself.

"Scarlet eyes... orange hair..."

Just who was this man?

This mystery now plagued the minds of Iwagakure's forces.

"Charge! Take their heads!"

"Kill them! The Third Raikage's body must remain here!"

Another wave of shinobi surged forward.

Previously, Kurama had engaged in battle using sheer physical might.

Now, he was about to try something different.

"Genjutsu: Eternal Mirage."

His crimson eyes shifted into a strange, hypnotic pattern, forming concentric rings.

This was his Mangekyō Sharingan's unique technique.

Those who met his gaze were immediately ensnared.

Hundreds of Iwa-nin froze in place before collapsing, their minds transported into an illusionary paradise.

Trapped in the dream world of the Eternal Mirage, they found themselves experiencing everything they had ever desired—an ultimate genjutsu that rivaled even the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Unlike the latter, which drained chakra and turned its victims into husks, Kurama's illusion simply left them in a dreamscape, forever lost in their own fantasies.

All it took was a glance.

The Third Raikage was stunned.

"What kind of Sharingan power is this? An illusion?"

Kurama's overwhelming strength was now undeniable.

But the Raikage would not be outdone.

Activating his Lightning Armor to its fullest extent, he tore through the battlefield, massacring the remaining Iwa-nin.

Previously, the Raikage had been the one struggling against an overwhelming force.

Now, the tides had turned.

Kurama continued spreading the Eternal Mirage through both his gaze and physical contact, sending more and more Iwa-nin into eternal slumber.

On the front lines, the situation was dire.

The Iwa shinobi were scattered, their numbers dwindling rapidly.

A desperate messenger rushed into Kitsuchi's tent, out of breath.

"Lord Kitsuchi... our army of 30,000... has been reduced to only 10,000..."
