Chapter 206: Time for the Final Showdown
"These Genin... actually started infighting at a time like this."
In the shadows, the Masked Man watched this scene, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He had been testing these Genin, wanting to see what their true nature was.
And now, he finally had the answer.
"So this is the true nature of Konoha's Genin; how disappointing."
The Masked Man said coldly, his voice filled with mockery and disdain.
On the other side.
Just as Byakuya and the others fell into despair, suddenly, a powerful force surged from within their bodies.
"This is... what's going on?"
Byakuya and Neji were surprised to find that their bodies had actually regained their freedom.
And all of this was thanks to Jiraiya.
He had found the device controlling their bodies within the Kamui Dimension and destroyed it.
"Lord Jiraiya, thank you!"
Byakuya and Neji looked at Jiraiya with gratitude; if it weren't for him, they probably would have really died here.
"Don't mention it. Right now, the most important thing is to go save Sasuke and the others."
Jiraiya's expression was grave. He had just exhausted all his strength to weaken the Nine-Tailed seal so that Byakuya could control the Nine-Tails' power.
"Byakuya, it's all up to you now."
Jiraiya looked at Byakuya, his eyes filled with expectation.
"I understand!"
Byakuya nodded, his heart full of determination.
He remembered the Great Toad Sage's prophecy: "Byakuya, you and the Nine-Tails will one day have a final showdown. If you can utilize this power, the Nine-Tails will also become your strength."
Now was the time for his showdown with the Nine-Tails!
"Nine-Tails, lend me your strength!"
Byakuya let out a shout, and his body began to emit a golden light.
He felt an unprecedented power, a force that boosted his confidence manifold.
"Now, let me go save Sasuke and the others!"
Byakuya clenched his fists and dashed toward the place where the battle was occurring.
At this time, Sasuke and Sakura were still arguing.
Just as they were arguing incessantly, a group of puppet monsters attacked them.
Byakuya arrived just in time, destroying all these monsters with one punch each.
In Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Byakuya's strength was no longer something these ordinary puppets could withstand.
"Byakuya!"
Seeing Byakuya appear, both Sasuke and Sakura showed looks of pleasant surprise.
"Stop arguing, the most important thing now is to leave this place!"
Byakuya looked at them and spoke in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Sasuke and Sakura both nodded in agreement.
The Genin who were arguing elsewhere also stopped one after another, and with Byakuya's help, they all escaped danger.
"It seems the young Ninja of Konoha can still be saved."
Watching this from the shadows, a smile appeared on the Masked Man's lips.
He had originally thought that when faced with a crisis, these Genin would fight for themselves or even kill each other.
But he hadn't expected that with Byakuya's help, they would actually unite to confront the enemy together.
This left him somewhat surprised and also somewhat gratified.
"Although their nature isn't perfect, at least they can still be saved."
The Masked Man said secretly to himself.
He took a deep breath and then turned to leave.
Since these Genin were out of danger, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Jonin, I will release you."
The Masked Man's voice echoed in the empty tunnel as his figure moved further away, finally disappearing into the darkness.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Although Byakuya had successfully saved Sasuke and the others, the Nine-Tails' power was too strong, causing him to gradually lose consciousness.
"Byakuya!"
Sasuke and Sakura showed looks of worry as they saw Byakuya suddenly collapse.
"The Nine-Tails' power... he still can't fully control it."
Sasuke said in a low voice, a trace of concern showing in his eyes.
They knew that Byakuya still had a long way to go to truly master the Nine-Tails' power.
"However, I believe he can definitely do it."
Sakura looked at the fallen Byakuya, her eyes full of confidence.
She believed that Byakuya would surely overcome all difficulties and become a true Hokage.
Afterward, the group brought Byakuya back to Konoha Village.
After this incident, Byakuya's performance was recognized by everyone, and his strength and courage made them look at him in a new light.
On the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village, Sasuke and Byakuya sat side by side, gazing into the distance.
"Byakuya, thanks to you this time, we were able to complete the mission successfully."
Sasuke spoke, a hint of gratitude in his voice.
"Don't say that, Sasuke. We are comrades; helping each other is only natural."
Byakuya replied with a smile, his smile as sunny and bright as ever.
Sasuke was silent for a moment before continuing, "Byakuya, your strength is improving so fast, I can hardly keep up with you."
"Sasuke, don't be discouraged. You have your own strengths and specialties too. Let's work hard and improve together!"
Byakuya patted Sasuke on the shoulder, encouraging him.
