249. Big Battle

“Two-Tails starts with a frenzied claw attack!”

“Five-Tails uses Protect, counters with a fierce tackle! Two-Tails takes a critical hit—it's super effective.”

“Five-Tails seizes the chance to taunt, successfully confusing Two-Tails. In its confusion, Two-Tails retaliates with a Fireball attack!”

“Five-Tails’ energy bar is full! It unleashes a devastating Energy Ball, aiming to end the match!”

“In a desperate moment, Two-Tails activates Revival, doubling its attack power and launching a Shadow Ball!”

“Wow, wow, wow! What an intense and thrilling battle! Both Pokémon have given it their all, leaving no regrets. Now, let's see who the ultimate winner is.”

“It’s Five-Tails! It triggers its passive ability, Stamina, at the last moment and stands victorious! Congratulations to Senju Hashirama for winning the first round!”

The audience watched in stunned silence as Uchiha Gin enthusiastically narrated the match through a megaphone, acting as both referee and commentator. Their faces were filled with confusion, unable to fully understand but deeply impressed nonetheless.

“You even play multiple roles—you’re working harder than Tifa!”


---

“Beep, beep!”

A sharp whistle abruptly brought everyone back from their daze.

“Trainer, no personal attacks! This referee is issuing a warning—this is your first and last notice!”

Uchiha Gin, ever the fair judge, raised his hands to form a large "X" in front of his chest, firmly warning Uchiha Madara for his outburst.

“I…”

Uchiha Madara twitched with irritation before speaking coldly, “With so many white-haired beasts here, how do you know I was referring to a Tailed Beast?”

“Uchiha Madara, I’m calling you out!”

Senju Tobirama, who had been secretly enjoying his rival’s embarrassment, immediately exploded with anger. Drawing a long blade from who-knows-where, he stormed toward the arena to settle things once and for all.

“Calm down! We’re all from Konoha!”

Worried about the escalating conflict, Sarutobi Sasuke and others quickly intervened to hold back the furious Tobirama.

“Oh, someone’s guilty and triggered, huh?”

Madara smirked, further provoking Tobirama, who almost unleashed an attack.

“Beep, beep! Unrelated individuals, do not disrupt the arena! Any grudges can be settled in an official match.”

Uchiha Gin promptly blew his whistle and sternly warned Tobirama, maintaining order in the sacred battleground.

“Hmph! Just you wait!”

Knowing this match determined his brother’s candidacy for Hokage, Tobirama suppressed his anger, reluctantly sheathed his blade, and stepped back.

“Roar!”

The red-haired gorilla entered the battlefield, pounding its chest and exhaling flames. It bared its fangs at the battered Five-Tails and declared:

“I’ll prove that tails don’t matter—only iron fists define the truth!”

Round Two begins.

As expected, Four-Tails didn’t disappoint Madara. Son Goku easily crushed the already weakened Five-Tails with overwhelming strength, not even needing to use its signature technique, Mount Huaguo. Instead, it relied on its massive, powerful fists to shatter its opponent’s defenses.

Uchiha Gin jumped atop the unconscious Five-Tails, pried open its heavy eyelids, and declared:

“Round Two goes to Four-Tails!”


---

“Hashirama, seems like having more tails isn’t such a big deal after all.”

Having tasted victory, Madara smirked, arms crossed, as he glanced at the battered Four-Tails and taunted his old rival.


---

The story continues with a blend of intense battles, witty banter, and unexpected developments, showcasing the unique dynamics between the characters and their Pokémon-like Tailed Beast battles.



“Roar! Damn slug, take this strike from your Grandpa Sun!”

Enraged by its tarnished appearance, Four-Tails slammed its hands onto the ground, unleashing a torrent of chakra. Lava-laden mounds erupted under its feet, surging toward Six-Tails.

“Precipice Blade! Four-Tails has unleashed the god-tier ground-type move, Precipice Blade!”

From the sidelines, commentator Uchiha Gin, holding his megaphone high, excitedly described the scene as massive pillars of molten rock erupted from the ground.

“Boom!”

“Ah!”

Caught off guard, Six-Tails was struck directly by the Precipice Blade—right in its sensitive rear. Scalding lava surged into its body through the opening, causing a sizzling sound that echoed across the battlefield.

Six-Tails trembled violently, instinctively releasing a stream of viscous liquid that splattered onto the golden barrier, producing acrid smoke.

“Hmph! If you’re so ungrateful, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

Enduring the pain, Six-Tails gritted its teeth, stood up, and decided to go all out. It began forming a Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth—a black orb brimming with destructive energy.

“Hah! Bring it on!”

Although clearly at its limit, Four-Tails prepared for a final stand, forming its own fiery Tailed Beast Bomb.

“Once again, it’s time for a thrilling beam clash! Place your bets now!”

Uchiha Gin, ever the opportunist, quickly set up a betting game, encouraging the spectators to participate in the excitement.

“I’m betting on Six-Tails!”

“Same here!”

“I’m betting on Four-Tails!”

“Seriously, Sasuke? Can’t you see Four-Tails is on its last legs?”

“True love transcends logic—I'm rooting for the gorilla just because of its looks!”

Sarutobi Sasuke, starry-eyed, gazed adoringly at the giant gorilla.

"Ah, so the Sarutobi clan are all gorilla enthusiasts."

“All right, bets are closed!”

Quickly placing his own bet on a draw, Uchiha Gin grinned smugly.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion rocked the battlefield as the two Tailed Beast Bombs collided, engulfing the area in smoke. When the dust settled, both beasts stood in place, gasping for air, before collapsing simultaneously in a cloud of debris.

“I declare this round a draw!”

After a thorough inspection, referee Uchiha Gin raised his flag and solemnly announced the result.

“Nooo! That was my last stash of savings!”

In the crowd, a wailing Shimura Kenichi pounded the ground in despair, tears streaming down his face.


---

“Madara, I guess it’s a tie now, huh?”

Senju Hashirama’s face darkened as he watched the unconscious Six-Tails return to its cage. He hadn’t expected his fully charged beast to end up in a draw against an exhausted Four-Tails.

Madara, meanwhile, calmly used his blue Susanoo to drag Four-Tails beside Two-Tails, showing no reaction to Hashirama’s complaint.

“Stop rambling. Let’s keep going.”

He turned to Hashirama, his expression cold, as the stakes of the battle intensified. With only two beasts left on each side, and Hashirama’s insect-like Seven-Tails looking frail and unimpressive, Madara felt his chances of winning were high.


---

“After three grueling rounds, I’m sure everyone’s a bit fatigued. Let’s take a short break, and in the meantime, here’s a word from our sponsor!”


---

“Feeling drained after overwork? Suffering from back pain and fatigue like your body’s been hollowed out?”

“Are your kidneys overworked? Want to restore their vitality?”

“Try Dragon Pills! Better for her, better for you!”

“Made from secret ancient recipes, enriched with rare herbs, and infused with floral extracts, the Pig-Deer-Butterfly Dragon Pills are now available for preorder!”


---

“Sarutobi, you…?”

Sarutobi Sasuke stared in disbelief at his friends.

“Uh… well, when we saw how good he was at running raffles, we decided to collaborate with him for marketing,” explained Akimichi Shinji, scratching his head with a sheepish grin.

“Well, next time, include the Sarutobi clan! We have products too!”


---

“Commercial break’s over—let the match continue!”


---

“Seven-Tails, you’re up. I’ll go last,” barked the commanding Nine-Tails, glaring at the reluctant Chomei behind Hashirama.

“But I’m just a bug…”

“Shut up! Get out there!”

With a flick of its tail, Nine-Tails hurled the massive Seven-Tails onto the field.

“Hashirama has sent out Seven-Tails! And now, Uchiha Madara…”

“You’re up.”

Without hesitation, Madara ordered Three-Tails Isobu into the arena.

“Let’s go, turtle! Show them what you’ve got!”
