Fortunately, Qingming remained rational and understood his mission, so the greed in his eyes flickered away almost instantly.
At the same time, the Six-Tails gathered a massive amount of chakra around its body, forming a layer of mucus that quickly extinguished the flames on its body.
Roar!
It raised its head and let out a furious roar at Qingming. Even from a distance, Qingming could sense the sheer anger in that roar.
'Did you forget there's still someone else here?'
Minato Namikaze's combat instincts were razor-sharp. Almost the moment the Six-Tails shifted its attention and raised its head, Minato made his move.
Without any flashy techniques, he flung a handful of kunai.
These kunai, however, didn't have the Flying Thunder God technique inscribed. Instead, they were adorned with explosive tags.
Even for a tailed beast, being hit in vital spots by so many explosive tags simultaneously was a serious threat.
Sensing the danger immediately, the Six-Tails shifted its gaze from Qingming and swung its tails to swat the kunai away.
However, just as its tails connected with the kunai, Minato clasped his hands together, forming a seal, and commanded, "Explode!"
Boom!
A series of violent explosions erupted. Fireballs engulfed the Six-Tails' tail, causing it to howl in pain.
Splash!
A large volume of corrosive liquid spewed from its mouth like torrential rain, pouring down towards Minato.
This wide-range attack could be deadly to any ninja, a true demonstration of overwhelming force.
But unfortunately for the Six-Tails, it was up against the fastest man in the ninja world—Minato Namikaze.
Almost the moment the corrosive liquid left the beast's mouth, Minato activated the Flying Thunder God technique, disappearing from the spot and reappearing on a prepared retreat point far away.
Crash!
The corrosive liquid hit the ground, instantly dissolving a large swath of forest.
The sound of sizzling filled the air as dense, acrid white mist rose, covering an area of several hundred meters.
Even areas untouched by the liquid showed signs of corrosion, proving the white mist itself was also highly toxic.
Seeing this, Qingming knew it was time for him to act.
In this situation, Minato couldn't approach the Six-Tails.
Without hesitation, Qingming flapped his wings, darting forward like lightning. He formed hand seals and unleashed a technique—Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
A violent gust of wind surged from his mouth, dispersing the toxic mist and forcing the Six-Tails to stumble slightly.
Given the beast's size, being moved even slightly by the wind spoke volumes about the technique's power.
Seeing this opening, Minato's eyes lit up. He seized the opportunity and dashed towards the Six-Tails.
Once again, Minato refrained from using any elaborate techniques or explosive tags.
Instead, he formed hand seals and used a simple C-rank jutsu—Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Despite the technique's simplicity, Minato's aim was precise, targeting the Six-Tails' head.
Boom!
A crimson fireball struck its face, exploding violently and causing the beast to howl in pain once more.
Furious, the Six-Tails lashed out with its tails, aiming to crush Minato.
However, such attacks held little threat to someone with Minato's reflexes.
Although each tail strike shattered the ground and caused significant collateral damage, Minato easily avoided them.
He managed to hold the Six-Tails' attention, allowing Qingming to make his next move.
Seeing the Six-Tails distracted, Qingming swooped in once again.
Positioned behind the beast, Qingming formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and unleashed a technique—Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu!
Whoosh!
Three streams of fire erupted from his mouth, transforming into three flaming dragons that attacked the Six-Tails from the left, center, and right simultaneously.
Although the Six-Tails sensed the danger, its massive size and Qingming's position in its blind spot left it no time to dodge. It had no choice but to endure the attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fire dragons struck the beast, causing it to roar in pain once more.
But a tailed beast is, after all, a tailed beast. Despite taking repeated hits, its energy showed no significant decline.
Qingming glanced at Minato and noticed he wasn't using sealing jutsu or any other techniques.
Deciding to contribute further, Qingming prepared for another attack—not out of eagerness but to test the effectiveness of his techniques on a tailed beast. This knowledge would help him capture one in the future.
With that in mind, Qingming widened the distance slightly. Before the Six-Tails could retaliate, he formed hand seals again and unleashed—Water Release: Severing Wave!
Zzz!
A high-pressure water jet shot from his mouth, slicing through half of the Six-Tails' body like a blade.
Roar!
The beast let out an agonized roar, clearly in more pain than before.
Furious chakra surged from its body. Ignoring Minato's provocations, it turned around and spat several jets of steam-like corrosive mist at Qingming.
The mist spread rapidly, reaching Qingming in the blink of an eye.
If Qingming flew at full speed, he could still evade.
But he didn't.
Seeing the Six-Tails' open mouth, Qingming had a bold idea.
Acting on instinct, he swiftly formed seals and cast—Chakra Cloak.
A pale green chakra cloak enveloped his body, shielding him from the corrosive mist.
However, he could feel the mist rapidly corroding the cloak.
If he stayed in the mist for more than thirty seconds, it would destroy the jutsu structure, turning him into a puddle of corpse water.
But—
"Thirty seconds? More than enough!"
Muttering to himself, Qingming flapped his wings and flew straight toward the Six-Tails' open mouth.
Despite the corrosion affecting his Wind Release: Wings of Wind, reducing his flying speed to less than 30% of its peak, he pushed on.
This gave the Six-Tails enough time to react.
Though tailed beasts rarely communicate with humans, their intelligence rivaled that of humans. Sensing the abnormality, the Six-Tails instinctively tried to shut its mouth.
But before it could, a pair of blood-red Sharingan locked its gaze. The beast's consciousness faltered, and its jaw froze momentarily.
However, Qingming wasn't unscathed.
Two streaks of blood trickled from his Sharingan, and his face twitched in pain.
"So this is the will of a tailed beast? Truly violent."
Through the genjutsu, Qingming controlled the Six-Tails but was also affected by its ferocious will.
At that moment, he finally understood why Gaara had been so unhinged in his early years.
Suppressing the pain, Qingming flew to the Six-Tails' face, raised his right hand, and summoned—Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
The air around him crackled as the chakra-formed shuriken spun violently, tearing through the air.
Without hesitation, Qingming thrust the Rasenshuriken into the Six-Tails' mouth.
Even a tailed beast, with its unique lifeform, couldn't withstand the microscopic chakra needles unleashed by the Rasenshuriken, which disrupted its biological structure.
The Six-Tails snapped out of the genjutsu, overwhelmed by pain, and began thrashing wildly.
Thud!
One of its tails struck Qingming, sending him flying like a cannonball.
Thanks to the Earth Release: Hardening Jutsu and his Chakra Cloak, Qingming avoided severe injuries.
Instead, the impact helped him escape the corrosive mist and the Six-Tails' rampage.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Qingming glanced at the distant Six-Tails, satisfied with the damage he had inflicted.
"Now, it's up to Minato."
With that thought, he shifted his gaze to the ground below.
