Naruto: My Hiddden Village-Chapter 38: Nine-Tails

The mission finally began, and the journey to the forbidden forest became a stage for the introduction of the ninjas involved in this important mission.

Ozora introduced himself with a friendly smile and a calming tone. "My name is Ozora, nice to meet you all," then he continued, "when it comes to ninjutsu, I'm good at using Fuuton."

Tsubasa was the second to introduce himself, "My name is Tsubasa," then he continued, "For the ninjutsu I've mastered, I'm good at Fuuton and Raiton," Tsubasa explained, still concealing most of his abilities.

Kyoya was next, "Nice to meet you all! I'm Kyoya! Just like Ozora-sama, I'm also good at using Fuuton!" he introduced himself and his ninjutsu specialty with fervent energy.

Benkei, a tall and large figure with a deep voice and a polite demeanor, introduced himself with a respectful nod. "Benkei from Yorozuya. Skilled in Doton ninjutsu." Benkei's calm and polite attitude gave an impression of reliability and strength.

Ginga was the last, introducing himself with a cheerful smile. "Hi everyone! I'm Ginga! I'll give my best for this mission! My best ninjutsu is Suiton." Ginga's cheerful introduction concluded the introductions from the Yorozuya group.

Then, it was the turn of the ninja groups from other clans to introduce themselves.

They were representatives from the great clans of the Land of Fire, each with unique ninjutsu abilities and expertise.

"Introduce yourselves everyone, my name is Nara Shikamane," Shikamane introduced himself in a lazy tone, while yawning widely. "I'm good at using shadow-based techniques, and if you don't mind, leave the strategy matters to me."

"Hi everyone, my name is Akimichi Choujiro," Choujiro stated his full name with a friendly smile, "I can enlarge myself and become the last line of defense for all of you."

"I'm Yamanaka Inori," Inori, a graceful woman with a blonde ponytail, introduced herself in a soft voice, "Besides the special mind-based ninjutsu from my family, I've also studied a little Genjutsu, I hope our cooperation yields good results."

Two people from the Hatake Clan were the last to introduce themselves.

"My name is Hatake Kaminari, skilled in using Kenjutsu combined with Raiton," Kaminari introduced himself briefly.

"My name is Hatake Kagami, skilled in using Kenjutsu combined with Fuuton," Kagami concluded the introductions among them with a confident tone.

With these introductions, a bridge of communication and cooperation began to be built among the different ninja groups.

Slowly but surely, the awkwardness began to melt away, replaced by a sense of curiosity and a spirit of cooperation that began to grow among them.

Light conversation began to flow, interspersed with laughter that warmed the cold atmosphere in the middle of their journey.

After a brief introduction colored with a little banter and light chat, they finally arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The gateway to the dangerous forest where their mission target was located.

The Forbidden Forest greeted them with a cold and mysterious atmosphere.

The cold air pierced the skin, tall trees towered over, covering the sky, creating a chilling darkness even in broad daylight, strange sounds from within the forest added to the eerie and dangerous impression.

They began to enter the forest with high alert, ready to face any possible dangers lurking.

Every sense was sharpened, ready to react to the slightest threat.

Their footsteps felt heavy on the damp ground covered with dry leaves.

The sound of the wind rustling through the tall trees and the faint sound of forest animals howling added to the chilling impression and made their hairs stand on end.

Traveling inside the forbidden forest was not easy; various obstacles and dangers confronted them at every step.

The test of physical endurance and the team's ability to face natural challenges were tested in this arduous journey.

Steep and rocky paths, gaping ravines on the side of the road, and thorny bushes blocking their way were natural obstacles they had to pass carefully.

Several times, they had to help each other through difficult terrain, showing the teamwork that was beginning to form.

Not only natural obstacles, but they were also attacked by unusual wild animals.

Wild animals capable of using chakra, adding to the difficulty level of this mission.

A terrifying roar broke the silence of the forest, making all the ninjas stop and be alert.

Followed by the appearance of large wolves with glowing red eyes and claws that could unleash sharp wind blades.

"Storm wolves!" Kaminari exclaimed in a surprised but battle-ready tone. "Kagami, you with wind attacks, me with lightning!"

"Ready!" Kagami replied swiftly, drawing his sword.

This wild animal attack forced them to fight and unleash their ninja abilities.

Ninjutsu techniques echoed each other, the sound of swords clashing with sharp claws, and the roar of angry wild animals filled the forest.

"Fuuton: Renkuudan!" Kagami shouted, releasing several high-pressure wind bullets towards the wolves.

"Raiton: Jibashi!" Kaminari followed with his lightning technique, paralyzing several wolves with a powerful electric shock.

"Baika no Jutsu!" Choujiro enlarged his hand and slammed it into the ground, creating a shockwave to repel the approaching wolves.

"Kagemane no Jutsu!" Shikamane quickly used his shadow binding technique to paralyze the movements of wolves trying to attack from behind.

"Good job, Shikamane-san!" Kyoya shouted while slashing a wolf in front of him with a kunai.

Besides wild animals, they also had to be careful of poisonous plants that grew abundantly in this forest.

The threat of these poisonous plants was very hidden and deadly.

For example, there were plants with bright green leaves and white flowers that emitted a captivating sweet aroma, but actually contained a deadly poison that could kill anyone who touched them with just a light touch.

"Don't touch the brightly colored plants!" Inori warned in a serious tone; she had good knowledge of various flowers and plants. "Some of them are very dangerous."

There were also other poisonous plants that could cause various adverse effects, ranging from painful skin irritation, confusing hallucinations, to severe life-threatening poisoning.

So, they had to be extra careful in exploring this forest.

Every step had to be watched, every touch had to be wary.

And most frighteningly, they had to face the severe sandstorms that often occurred in this forest without warning.

The threat of these unexpected sandstorms came from the Land of Wind, sending its terror into the Forbidden Forest.

The sky suddenly turned pitch black, strong winds blew, carrying stinging dust and sand, turning the forest that was already chilling into a suffocating sand hell.

"Sandstorm is coming! Find shelter!" Ozora shouted a warning, realizing the rapidly changing weather.

They immediately ran to seek shelter behind large rocks and shady trees, trying to avoid the onslaught of the severe sandstorm.

Strong winds blew away leaves and tree branches, sand flew, stinging their skin and making their eyes sore.

The roaring sound of the sandstorm overpowered other sounds in the forest, creating an increasingly chilling atmosphere.

Despite facing various life-threatening dangers and obstacles, they continued to move forward with a strong determination to complete the mission.

After days of exploring the dangerous forest, with fatigue starting to set in, they finally found the 'Miyako Kudzu'.

The main objective of the search mission they had been fighting for all this time was finally achieved.

The fatigue and difficulties during the long journey seemed to be fully compensated by the discovery of this rare plant.

Relieved and happy smiles adorned their faces, cheerful laughter broke the silence of a hidden valley in the middle of the forest.

The rare plant thrived in a lush hidden valley, in the middle of the dangerous forest.

A small valley surrounded by towering steep cliffs, hidden tightly among giant trees, became a natural sanctuary for the Miyako Kudzu.

"We did it!" Ginga exclaimed cheerfully, jumping for joy. "We found it!"

"Good job everyone," Ozora said with a proud smile, patting Ginga's shoulder. "Our mission is almost complete."

Just as they found the target and finished carefully picking the medicinal plant, they were suddenly surprised by the presence of an unexpected guardian creature of this area.

An unexpected surprise that changed the situation that was previously full of relief into chilling tension.

From a feeling of relief and joy, the atmosphere suddenly changed drastically to tense and chilling.

The guardian creature turned out to be a large orange fox with nine tails that fluttered gracefully behind it.

The appearance of Kyuubi, the legendary Nine-Tailed beast whose name echoed in the dark history of the ninja world, shocked everyone present in that valley.

An aura of extraordinary power radiated strongly from Kyuubi's body, making all the ninjas present freeze in silence, feeling the pressure of an incredibly intimidating force.

The legendary monster, said to be able to destroy high mountains and split vast oceans with a single flick of its tail, now stood proudly before them, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.

All the ninjas present were shocked and alert, realizing the great danger they now had to face.

Their hearts pounded uncontrollably, cold sweat began to dampen their temples, and adrenaline pumped rapidly throughout their bodies, preparing them for a battle that might be their last.

Kyuubi stared at them with fierce, glowing red eyes, full of hatred and anger. The low growl that came from Kyuubi's mouth seemed to shake their souls, crushing the fighting spirit that had just flared up.

But in the end, a battle against Kyuubi was unavoidable.

The epic battle against the legendary nine-tailed beast began.

Kyuubi's roar broke the silence of the valley, signaling the start of a fierce battle.

High-level ninjutsu techniques, deadly kenjutsu attacks, and shouts of fighting spirit echoed each other amidst the chaos of battle.

The three members of InoShikaCho immediately took position and used their special ninjutsu.

"Ninpou: Shintenshin no Jutsu!" Inori shouted, trying to use her mind control ninjutsu to control Kyuubi's mind.

However, Kyuubi's spiritual power, which was too strong and wild, easily brushed aside Inori's ninjutsu, like a massive wave crashing against a small rock.

Inori staggered backward, feeling a strong mental backlash from Kyuubi.

"Inori!" Choujiro worried, but remained focused on the fight.

"Baika no Jutsu!" Choujiro again used his body enlargement technique, enlarging both of his hands into massive, muscular giants and stepping forward bravely to block Kyuubi's attack.

Choujiro's giant hands became a sturdy living shield, protecting his comrades from Kyuubi's terrifying rampage.

"Kagemane no Jutsu!" Shikamane didn't want to lose, using Kagemane no Jutsu to try and bind Kyuubi's movements with his shadow.

However, Kyuubi's speed, which was too high, and its extraordinary reflexes allowed it to easily avoid Shikamane's shadow binding.

"Damn it, too fast!" Shikamane grumbled, realizing the difficulty of keeping up with the monster's speed.

Meanwhile, the two members of the Hatake Clan showed their amazing kenjutsu skills.

Deadly sword attacks from the Hatake Clan were aimed at injuring Kyuubi, looking for an opening in the monster's defense.

"Fuuton: Tatsumaki no Ken!" Kagami attacked with a sword enveloped in wind chakra, creating a sharp and powerful tornado-shaped wind slash.

"Raiton: Raikiri Issen!" Kaminari followed with a sword attack enveloped in lightning chakra, creating a very fast and paralyzing lightning strike.

From a distance, the other Yorozuya members also joined the attack to help their comrades.

"Fuuton: Tornado Spear!" Kyoya shouted loudly, using Fuuton: Tornado Spear to attack Kyuubi from a distance. The wind spear spun violently, speeding towards Kyuubi at high velocity.

"Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!" Ginga used Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu, spraying high-pressure water at Kyuubi's eyes, trying to temporarily blind the fox monster and divert its attention.

"Doton: Doryuu Taiga!" Benkei used Doton to turn the ground around Kyuubi into a deep mud swamp, trying to slow down and trap Kyuubi's agile movements. The mud swamp formed quickly around Kyuubi's feet, trying to pull the monster into a deadly trap.

However, all the attacks they launched had almost no effect on Kyuubi.

Kyuubi's power was too great, far beyond the power of ordinary ninjas. Kyuubi easily brushed aside Ginga's water spray with a flick of its tail and charged through Benkei's mud swamp without much difficulty, as if the swamp was just a small puddle to it.

Kyuubi's power was like a storm that swept through all obstacles, unstoppable and irresistible.

As Kyuubi was about to strike them with its terrifyingly large claws, Akimichi Choujiro bravely enlarged himself to giant size and parried Kyuubi's claws with his giant body.

Choujiro managed to withstand the powerful claw attack of Kyuubi, but his giant body was pushed back several meters due to Kyuubi's enormous strength.

Choujiro's strong defense seemed to be starting to be overwhelmed by the monster's attack. Choujiro's body trembled violently as it bore the weight of Kyuubi's claws, his feet planted firmly on the ground, trying with all his might not to be pushed back further.

In that critical moment, Ozora quickly used Kagebunshin no Jutsu to create many shadow clones of himself.

Dozens of Ozora's shadow clones appeared in an instant, filling the battlefield and surrounding Kyuubi from all directions.

"Oodama Rasengan!" Ozora's clones then used Oodama Rasengan simultaneously and directed them at Kyuubi. Giant Rasengan balls sped quickly, surrounding Kyuubi from all sides and hitting it simultaneously.

The barrage of Oodama Rasengan attacks finally hit Kyuubi and sent the fox monster flying backward violently.

The impact of that significant attack made Kyuubi roar in anger.

But Ozora's attack was not over. Ozora's original body then used Rasen Shuriken, his deadly signature move, and threw it with all his might towards the Kyuubi that was thrown backward.

"Fuuton: Rasen Shuriken!" Ozora shouted.

The Rasen Shuriken spun violently, hurtling towards Kyuubi, leaving a trail of wind that split the air and a terrifying whistling sound.

While all the other ninjas fought fiercely and unleashed all their abilities, Tsubasa appeared almost transparent as he only moved around dodging without using much offensive ninjutsu.

Tsubasa's strange passive movements were barely noticed by anyone, because everyone was too tense and focused on the fierce battle against Kyuubi.

As they gasped for breath, trying to catch their breath and gather their depleted chakra, suddenly a shocking change in the situation occurred.

A masked man in a long black cloak suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right where Kyuubi was thrown backward.

The presence of this mysterious figure was like a cold and piercing night wind, bringing an aura of mystery and unexpected power.

The masked man moved very quickly; he cut off several of Kyuubi's tails with his lightning-fast sword movements.

Showing incredible speed and power that was hard to believe.

The masked man's lightning-fast sword slashes cut through Kyuubi's thick and powerful tails as if slicing through soft tofu.

He immediately sealed Kyuubi's severed tails into a special scroll he had prepared.

The masked man's mysterious actions greatly confused everyone who witnessed the incident.

The masked man's agile, directed, and efficient movements, as if all this situation was already in his prediction, made them increasingly wonder about his identity and purpose.

"Who are you??!!" Ozora shouted in a surprised and wary tone, demanding the identity of the masked man who suddenly appeared and attacked Kyuubi.

"Thank you for helping to subdue Kyuubi, but instead of asking about my unimportant identity, you should leave here immediately, that's my advice," said the masked man in a cold and mysterious voice that pierced to the bone.

The man said as he turned around and left the place quickly, immediately disappearing from everyone's sight as fast as lightning.

"Nii-san, let's get out of here quickly! I sense a very terrifying aura! Kyuubi is going to go berserk!!!" Tsubasa shouted in a panic, warning of the greater danger to come.

Tsubasa's sharp danger instinct sensed a greater threat from the wounded and angry Kyuubi.

Then finally, the ninja group also immediately fled from this forbidden forest as quickly as possible, following the strong danger instinct they felt. They ran hard, spurring all the adrenaline in their bodies to immediately leave this place between life and death.

However, just as everyone began to feel safe and a little relieved because they had managed to escape Kyuubi's pursuit, terrible bad news suddenly befell them.

Akimichi Choujiro looked like he was about to faint because a lot of blood was flowing profusely from his stomach.

Apparently, in the fierce battle against Kyuubi earlier, he was pierced by Kyuubi's sharp claws when he enlarged himself and protected his friends.

The terrible stab wound from Kyuubi's claws in Choujiro's stomach gaped wide, thick red blood flowed profusely and ceaselessly, soaking his clothes and the surrounding ground, indicating a severe life-threatening injury.

"Choujiro!!!" Inori shouted hysterically, approaching Choujiro who was staggering and almost falling.
