Chapter 257
Chapter 257 – Playing with the Nine-Tails
"Damn it… damn it…"
Right now, no one was more frustrated than the Nine-Tails.
How had over a dozen of its devastating Tailed Beast Bombs turned into nothing—vanishing like smoke in the wind?
Was this some kind of joke?
These were Tailed Beast Bombs! They weren't supposed to disappear so easily.
The thought alone made the Nine-Tails feel despair creeping in, its gaze toward the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Luo Lei full of disbelief.
This was the third time.
The first had been during its rampage in Konoha—shut down instantly by him.
The second, when it launched three Tailed Beast Bombs—obliterated just as easily.
And now… twelve more, gone like they were nothing.
The humiliation was unbearable.
---
"Why bother?"
The Fifth Hokage glanced at it calmly.
"Is it time for you to despair?"
---
Bang!
The massive fox flinched violently. Its body trembled, and a huge portion of its chakra seemed to scatter on instinct—as if fear itself had stripped it away.
The truth was simple:
The Nine-Tails was scared.
It had lost to this man once.
Then twice.
And now a third time.
The pattern was unshakable—and infuriating.
---
"Don't worry," Uchiha Luo Lei said softly, his voice almost kind.
"I'm not going to hit you today. I can't even be bothered."
The Nine-Tails blinked, stunned.
"…Really? You're not going to attack me?"
"Of course," Luo Lei nodded lightly.
"With your level of strength, if I attacked, it would be bullying."
---
The beast's tails twitched in irritation.
This arrogant human… refusing to attack?
Didn't that mean it now had a chance?
---
From the sidelines, many were puzzled.
"What's Lord Uchiha doing?"
"With his strength, he could crush the Nine-Tails in seconds. Why hold back?"
"Isn't this just giving the beast an opening?"
---
In the Hyūga compound, Hinata Hanabi stood at the highest point, Byakugan fully activated, watching the distant confrontation.
"Sis, come see—Lord Uchiha is going to make a move again!"
In a blur of motion, Hinata Hyūga appeared beside her—her Reincarnation Eye and newly awakened Sage Body allowing her to instantly teleport across the compound.
Hanabi glanced at her sister with a teasing grin.
"You're really looking forward to it, huh? Lord Uchiha is so handsome… my ideal prince charming."
Blushing furiously, Hinata still nodded without hesitation.
---
Elsewhere, among the Konoha crowd—
Nara Shikamaru sighed. "Looks like he's going to play with the Nine-Tails again. We just sit back and enjoy the show."
"Mm-hmm," Yamanaka Ino agreed, eyes shining like an adoring fangirl.
Chōji simply kept eating. "As long as it doesn't get in the way of my snacks, whatever."
---
Uchiha Luo Lei, for his part, only smiled faintly.
Yes, he had no intention of ending this quickly.
A few days ago, he'd used up all his sign-in chances out of boredom, expecting nothing special—after all, he was already invincible in the ninja world.
But unexpectedly…
he'd drawn something unique: the God-Level Famous Scene System.
At first, he'd been baffled. Why would a sign-in system give him another system?
The answer was simple—he was already unbeatable. This new system wasn't for raw power, but for style—letting him recreate legendary moments from shinobi history, delivering crushing humiliation along with the win.
And today…
the Nine-Tails was about to star in one.
