The Ninja of Kumogakure, more or less, all had various bad habits, but their obedience and execution were also quite high.
With Darui's command,
the well-trained Kumogakure Ninja, who had already determined their combat plan, began to act.
Kumogakure Ninja all possessed excellent swordsmanship, and being engaged in close combat by a Kumogakure Ninja on the Battlefield was a nightmare for most Ninja from other nations.
However, when facing the Eight-Tails, using sword techniques would be utterly ridiculous.
Ninjutsu suitable for group combat must be simple and easy to learn, allowing even unfamiliar Ninja to quickly master it.
"Lightning Release: Ground Flash!" x N
At this moment, being on the surface of the sea not only caused no trouble for this Ninjutsu but actually made it even faster.
An entire team jointly performed the Ninjutsu, including many Elite Jonin like Dodai.
Countless tiny blue-white currents converged into a massive electric current, which appeared exceptionally thick even when compared to the Eight-Tails' enormous body.
The lightning-dragon-like current tore through the seawater, heading straight for the Eight Tails Gyūki.
The change in the situation exceeded Gyūki's expectations. "How did these guys, who were just being obedient, suddenly attack me together?"
"Cunning and evil humans!"
The Eight-Tails, without many memories, didn't know what to do in the face of such an attack and chose to endure it stiffly in place.
"It tickles!"
The massive lightning dragon struck the Eight-Tails, even covering it with a layer of electric light, adding a cool special effect.
Gyūki only felt a slight itch and tried to move its body to get rid of the sensation.
However, as it prepared to move, it noticed something was wrong; its body seemed somewhat out of control, and moving was very difficult.
When Gyūki tried to move its body, the Kumogakure Ninja's expressions changed drastically.
"So many Ninja can't even restrict its movement or paralyze it?"
"Increase Chakra output!" Dodai quickly commanded loudly upon seeing this.
As the Kumogakure Ninja increased their efforts, the paralyzing effect on the Eight-Tails became more apparent, and its range of motion noticeably decreased.
"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"
Darui also used a restrictive Ninjutsu. He didn't use his Kekkei Genkai, Storm Release, because the effect of Water Release was greatly amplified on the open sea.
A large amount of seawater enveloped the Eight-Tails, which was restricted by the Ground Flash, forming a giant transparent water sphere.
Under the influence of Chakra, the water in the Water Prison became incredibly heavy, and immense pressure squeezed the Eight Tails Gyūki in the center from all directions.
This completely deprived it of its mobility.
The Lightning Release of many Kumogakure Ninja combined couldn't cause as much restriction to the Eight-Tails as Darui's single Water Release.
The gap between Ninja and Ninja is truly greater than the gap between Ninja and ordinary people.
No orders were needed, no instructions were given.
The Sealing Team, who had long been poised and ready, each ran to their positions around the Eight-Tails, took down the half-body-high scrolls from their backs, and unrolled them in front of them.
As each sealing scroll lit up, black talismans, like ants, crawled onto the immobilized Eight-Tails' body.
Darui breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that everything was going smoothly.
He then dispelled the Water Prison Jutsu. One person handling the work of an entire team looked impressive, but it also placed a huge burden on Darui.
In that short time, he had already expended nearly half of his Chakra.
Not to mention Yuuki, who was still watching from the side, the journey back would not be peaceful either, so Darui had to preserve his strength.
Joy always turns to sorrow!
The Hidden Cloud Village, which lacked a complete inheritance of sealing Ninjutsu, had accumulated its sealing Ninjutsu by plundering and piecing together techniques from various sources.
They were not only unsystematic but also not very sophisticated.
They might be very reliable against prisoners of war or enemies, but they were not as useful when facing a Tailed Beast.
Not having seen sealing before didn't mean the Eight-Tails didn't feel it. Knowing that continuing would lead to a miserable fate, the Eight-Tails erupted.
Its two eyes, larger than brass bells, filled with savagery, and the Chakra aura throughout its body changed, with its Chakra surging, filled with chaotic and disordered energy.
The black talismans on its body began to recede, and its paralyzed body regained control through instinct. After its enormous tentacles slightly curled, they whipped out like a lash.
"Tailed Beast Eight-Whip!"
"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"
When savagery appeared in the Eight-Tails' eyes, Dodai had already shouted for a retreat. As a subordinate, Dodai's words were naturally heeded by some.
However, there were always some who felt that they had a mission, and since the Raikage had not spoken, they had to continue to hold their positions.
"Kumogakure, listen to my command, retreat!"
Darui also gave the order when he saw the sealing talismans disappear. This time, not a single Kumogakure Ninja lingered; they all took off running.
"Is it really possible to escape by retreating now?"
