In their full forms, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails had the Tailed Beast Bombs forming in front of their mouths, growing larger and larger.
Naruto stood in front of Gaara, arms crossed, gritting his teeth.
"I choose you!"
A familiar voice came from the high platform.
Naruto's head snapped around.
He saw two red-and-white spheres flying over his head.
"Pochita! Ragnir! I choose you!"
Boom—!!!
A small orange-red figure and a giant hammer simultaneously shot out from beside Naruto and Gaara, one on the left and one on the right.
At the same moment, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails completed the formation of their Tailed Beast Bombs.
Two beams of violent energy shot from the mouths of the two Tailed Beasts, exploding towards Naruto and Gaara with the momentum to destroy everything.
The two Tailed Beast Bombs, one from the left and one from the right, attacked in a pincer.
At this critical moment—
Pochita charged in front of the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
The chainsaw on its head instantly swelled from less than half a meter long to nearly fifty meters. The saw teeth glinted coldly, emitting a deafening roar.
Pochita swung its head fiercely.
The chainsaw split the Tailed Beast Bomb precisely down the middle, cleanly and neatly like slicing a watermelon.
The fragments of the Tailed Beast Bomb turned into countless small energy shots, raining down in all directions like hailstones.
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
The fragments bombarded the surrounding mountain walls, causing chain explosions and sending gravel flying everywhere.
But none of them hit the government coalition forces.
Pochita landed steadily on the ground, the chainsaw on its head slowly stopping. It lowered its head, licked its paw, and casually looked up at the Eight-Tails, whose body was over a hundred times its size.
Its eyes seemed to say: 'That's it?'
On the other side, Ragnir's attack was even more direct.
The large squirrel materialized in mid-air, transforming into a giant hammer with a face.
It smashed straight down.
Clang—!!!
The giant hammer struck the Tailed Beast Bomb head-on, producing an ear-splitting clang of metal.
The immense impact caused an explosion high in the air, sending a visible shockwave spreading in all directions.
Everyone, both the government coalition and the Kumogakure army, was temporarily deafened by the loud noise.
The two powerful forces cancelled each other out.
The Tailed Beast Bomb vanished.
Ragnir transformed back from its giant hammer form into its animal form, landing steadily. Its two short legs left two deep holes in the ground. It looked up at the Two-Tails with a smug expression.
On the battlefield, there's only a deathly silence.
The Kumogakure army, including the Fourth Raikage, was stunned, mouths agape.
"How is that possible..."
The Fourth Raikage's voice squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
This was their Kumogakure's trump card!
'The Tailed Beast Bombs of the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails were actually stopped by... two pets?'
The Fourth Raikage's gaze was fixed on those two creatures.
'A dog with a chainsaw on its head?'
'And a squirrel that could turn into a hammer?'
"What are those things?"
Dodai's voice was also trembling. His brain worked furiously, searching every corner of his memory, but he couldn't find any matching information.
The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails were equally shocked.
'Could it be that the Sage of Six Paths didn't split the Ten-Tails into nine parts back then, but into eleven?'
Gyuki wasn't in much better shape.
While the two Tailed Beasts were still in shock, Makoto had already walked in front of Naruto and Gaara.
"Good work."
He looked back at the battered Naruto and Gaara and chuckled lightly.
"Next, let's switch places."
Makoto turned his head back and suddenly issued an order.
"Ragnir, Blizzard!"
Ragnir, in squirrel form, opened its mouth and took a deep breath.
Whoosh—!!!
A violent hurricane shot from Ragnir's mouth, mixed with countless giant snowflakes the size of fists.
Ragnir, possessing both Ice and Snow attributes, had been completely raised by Makoto as a Pokémon over the past two years, learning many moves from the Pokémon World.
The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails were forced back step by step by this master-level Blizzard.
Gyuki's eight tentacles formed a shield in front of its body, but frost visibly began to coat them.
Matatabi's blue flames dimmed somewhat under the Blizzard's suppression. Despite its four claws desperately digging into the ground, it was continuously pushed back.
"Roar—!"
The Two-Tails let out a furious roar.
It opened its mouth and sprayed a giant red fireball comparable to Ace's [Entei].
The fireball collided with the Blizzard, creating a 'sizzling' sound. White steam rose, shrouding the entire canyon in a fog.
The fireball pushed the Blizzard aside for a moment.
"Now!"
Gyuki seized this opportunity, using the fireball as cover. Its eight tentacles exerted force simultaneously, and its massive body charged forward like a cannonball.
In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Ragnir and Pochita.
Gyuki raised its arms high, and its two enormous fists, with the force of a thousand pounds, slammed down hard.
"Die!!"
Gyuki's fists tore through the air, creating a sharp whoosh.
"Pochita, dodge."
At the critical moment, Makoto's order sounded calmly again.
Instantly, the Chainsaw Devil transformed from its puppy form into a humanoid form.
Three chainsaws extended from its head and arms, the saw teeth glinting coldly in the sunlight, emitting a deafening roar.
It looked exactly like Makoto when he transformed into his Chainsaw Man form.
Shred—!!!
On the two arms the Eight-Tails was about to bring down…
Huge gashes were torn open mid-air.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall, splashing onto the ground.
Before anyone else could react, Pochita, in its Chainsaw Man form, was already standing on top of the Eight-Tails' head.
The three chainsaws spun simultaneously, emitting a piercing roar.
'Too fast!'
B's mind only flashed these two words from within the mental world.
"Tailed Beast Eight Twists!"
Gyuki roared, controlling the eight octopus tentacles on its back to grab at its head simultaneously.
The eight tentacles attacked from eight directions, sealing off all of Pochita's escape routes.
But Pochita had no intention of retreating.
In its Chainsaw Man form, Pochita's speed was so fast that the naked eye simply couldn't track it.
Its figure moved nimbly all over Gyuki's body... the eight tentacles couldn't catch it.
And with every swing of Pochita's saw, Gyuki's tentacles were easily sliced off like sashimi.
All eight tentacles were severed within seconds.
The giant octopus legs fell to the ground, producing a dull, heavy thud.
Gyuki's body trembled violently. It threw its head back and let out a pained roar.
