Chapter 1171 Wuhai

Suddenly, he realized that the spread of the red mist might be related to the fusion of Mukuro's and the tailed beast's chakra. Just then, a huge figure loomed within the red mist. It was the tailed beasts controlled by Mukuro. They rushed towards the nearby village, leaving a devastating mess in their wake.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and decided to stop the tailed beasts from destroying the village. He activated Susanoo and rushed towards the tailed beasts with all his strength. Susanoo's fist smashed into one tailed beast, repelling it. But more tailed beasts kept coming, and the situation was very critical.

Mukuro watched all this from a distance, a mocking smile on his face. Just as Sasuke was struggling to cope with the tailed beasts, Mukuro manipulated bone spikes to emerge from the ground, attempting a sneak attack. Suddenly, a familiar figure stood in front of Sasuke: it was Naruto. Naruto activated Nine-Tails mode and shattered the bone spikes with a single punch.

"Sasuke, let's stop him together," Naruto said firmly. Sasuke looked at Naruto and nodded. Back to back, the two launched a new attack on Mukuro and the tailed beasts. Naruto rushed out first, Nine-Tails chakra forming a massive fist, smashing into one of the tailed beasts. Sasuke then controlled Susanoo and unleashed a rain of arrows, shooting at the other tailed beasts. The tailed beasts were beaten back, but Mukuro quickly controlled them and reorganized their offensive.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, Mukuro suddenly formed seals with his hands, and the red mist became even thicker, and the power of the tailed beasts seemed to have been further enhanced. They roared to the sky, and radiated even more powerful chakra fluctuations.

"This isn't going to work. We need to find a way to break his control over the tailed beasts," Sasuke said loudly. Naruto nodded, his eyes resolute. He concentrated, sensing Mukuro's chakra, trying to find the source of his control.

Suddenly, Naruto's eyes lit up as he spotted a rune on Mukuro's body, glowing with an eerie light. "Sasuke, that rune is the key!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke immediately understood, condensing his Susanoo into a massive sword and charging towards Mukuro. Naruto followed closely behind, and with perfect coordination, they broke through the tailed beasts' defenses and delivered a fatal blow. Just as Mukuro's sword was about to strike, Mukuro suddenly vanished and reappeared not far away. With a sneer, he quickly formed hand seals and summoned a massive barrier of red mist. Sasuke's sword struck the barrier fiercely, but only sparks flew, unable to penetrate. Seeing this, Naruto immediately condensed an enormous Rasengan and smashed it with the power of the Nine-Tails' chakra. The barrier trembled slightly, but remained unbreakable. Mukuro seized the opportunity to control the tailed beasts to attack them from both sides. Just then, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, and a mysterious figure appeared on the battlefield. With a wave of his hands, a powerful force dispersed some of the red mist, and the tailed beasts temporarily fell silent. The mysterious figure looked at Naruto and the others and said, "I'll help you break the rune's control first." With that, he, Naruto, and Sasuke renewed their attack on Mukuro, and the battlefield once again descended into a fierce stalemate. In the fierce battle, the mysterious figure's strength gradually became apparent. He formed hand seals and unleashed a never-before-seen ninjutsu. Golden light transformed into chains, wrapping around Mukuro, attempting to restrict his movements. Mukuro dodged nimbly while increasing his control over the tailed beasts, causing them to attack the mysterious figure frantically. Naruto seized the opportunity and condensed his Rasengan again, this time infusing it with even more Nine-Tails chakra, making it even more powerful. Sasuke also activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and his Susanoo grew even larger and stronger. He controlled it, raising his greatsword and slashing fiercely at Mukuro and the barrier. Under the combined attack of the three, the red mist barrier finally cracked. Mukuro's face changed; he hadn't expected these three to be so formidable. Just then, the mysterious figure suddenly shouted, "Now's the time!" Naruto and Sasuke understood his intention and simultaneously launched their attacks. Naruto hurled his Rasengan into the crack, followed closely by Sasuke's greatsword. With a loud boom, the barrier shattered, and Mukuro's face betrayed a look of terror. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure formed hand seals with both hands, and a beam of light shot towards the runes on Mukuro's body. The runes' light gradually dimmed, and the tailed beasts regained some consciousness, no longer under Mukuro's control. The tide of battle shifted in an instant.
