Chapter 71 - Chapter 73 (1/2)

The two gates that were connected by the powerful seal slowly started to open. The seal didn't get ripped apart, more like slowly separated into two different parts.

The big fox with 9 very long and fluffy tails behind him stood up inside the cage and glared at Naruto, with excitement in the eyes. You could see that this was a moment that the nine tails had waited for. A chance to ones again step outside the prison it had been kept in for years and years.

Without much forewarning, the nine tails rushed forward to attack Naruto. The ground shook at each step he took and Naruto could finally see how huge he was when he was actually running straight at him.

'Focus!' Naruto said to himself and turned around and jumped away from the fox. The nine-tailed fox was both fast and massive. Which turns into a deadly combo in combat.

But Naruto luckily had great mobility and his speed was nothing to scoff at so he could create a pretty big distance between the two in just a few seconds.

Naruto was zigzagging between the trees in the forest. He had to act quick because otherwise the giant chakra beast behind him would squash him completely.

Naruto had trained in the art of chakra enhancing. He could on a very basic level, manipulate chakra around his body to strengthen a specific body part.

Every step Naruto took left a pretty decently deep mark on the ground. And thanks to his enormous stamina and chakra capacity he could keep running like this for a very long time.

'Think Naruto! Think!' His eyes darted around and searched for a way to get on the nine tails without getting caught by his tails or claws.

”THERE!” Naruto accidentally yelled out when he saw a big boulder in the distance. He re coated his fist in haki and did a proper dash towards it. His body flew out like a rocket and crashed straight through the entire boulder.

*boom*

The boulder exploded and gave rise to a decently sized smoke screen. The nine tails lost sight of Naruto when he smashed through the boulder.

His senses could still pick up Naruto's general direction but the problem was that Naruto's scent was coming from all around him. Above, below, Naruto was all around him and nine tails couldn't tell which one was the real one.

Out from the smoke screen ran 100 Naruto clones one after another. They were running in lines of 4 and they all jumped at the nine tails at the same time with both fists covered in haki.

”TAKE THIS!” The Naruto clones fell like rain and bombarded the giant fox with haki infused punches.

The nine tails swung his claws in front of his face and halved the amount of clones in one go. And at the same time he roared and pushed the rest of the Naruto's away with just the wind pressure from that roar.

As the clones were killed they disappeared into a cloud of white smoke. And this smoke screen blinded the nine tails. And the rest of the Naruto's gave up the attack and spread out around the nine tails.

”Big mistake, brat!” Nine tails sneered and all of his tails came down and smashed all the clones that took up a spot behind the fox.

'My punch did nothing to him.. How can haki not work..' Naruto still stood where the boulder had been. And he was watching the nine tails swiping his claws and taking out more clones.

”Let's just go with the straight forward approach.” One of Naruto's clones that stood beside him said and fist-bumped the air in excitement.

”We'll die!” Naruto refuted angerly.

”No. We'll die! We always die while you, the original stays alive.” The clone said and smiled while pushing Naruto forward with his hand.

”Okay then! let's go!” Naruto gave himself away to the hype and readied himself to rush the big beast.

Naruto did a familiar hand sign and 200 hundred shadow clones appeared in a line beside him. This was Naruto's famous Jutsu but he rarely used it because haki was enough for now. In the beginning the clone couldn't use haki and it took Naruto a few months to figure that problem out.

”THIS IS THE CHARGE OF ALL CHARGES! ARE YOU READY?” One of the many Naruto's yelled to the rest of them in an excited tone.

”AYE!!” 200 Naruto's yelled at the same time and shook the ground around them.

”GOOOOOOO!” Another Naruto yelled and all of them charged the nine tails with their fists covered in haki.

The Naruto's ran at full speed at the giant fox while yelling and shaking the entire area with their chakra infused steps.

One after the other they jumped up in the air and flew towards the nine tails. The fox started to swipe at the mass of shadow clones and they seemed never-ending because they kept coming. The clones that saw the claws coming towards them banded together and using haki they all raised their hands to try and stop the claw from crushing them.

But because they were in the air they didn't have any solid footing to stand on to help withstand the mighty strength of the nine-tailed fox.

But by using haki and their numbers advantage they were able to stop the claw for just a moment. And that moment was all a few clones needed to pass the barrier of the claws and reach the nine tails body.

11 clones managed to reach the nine tails and 4 were caught in the mouth of the fox. But the rest made it onto the body of the massive fox.
