Each Tailed Beast has lived in this world for countless years, Chakra within its body is more than that of hundreds of Ninjas combined.

When the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, quelled the war, he distributed the Tailed Beasts Tailed Beast among the villages, where they were used as strategic weapons.

Gaara is the Jinchūriki of the One-Tail Shukaku in this generation.

Becoming the Jinchūriki of Shukaku is extremely torturous, because this Demon Tanuki is violent and bloodthirsty, and its Jinchūriki cannot sleep.

As long as the Jinchūriki falls into a deep sleep, Shukaku will take the opportunity to emerge and wreak havoc on the world.

This is also the origin of Gaara's thick dark circles under his eyes.

Outside Konoha, after Gaara used the Feigning Sleep Technique, the Demon Tanuki Shukaku was completely unleashed!!

In ancient times, these massive Tailed Beasts were capable of destroying an entire village at will!

Just like when the Nine-Tails' Attack Konoha, the village lost a lot of fighting power and was bullied and suppressed for a time.

Shukaku's calamity against Konoha was a crucial part of the Sunagakure's Konoha plan!

"I've been locked up for so long, I'm finally out! You all have to die!!"

They all must die!!

The Demon Tanuki Shukaku's voice was extremely shrill, making listeners feel unbearably anxious!

Naruto Sasuke, hidden in the dense forest beneath him, covered their ears.

"Sasuke, what should we do now? What kind of monster is this?" Naruto asked helplessly.

Sasuke's face darkened. "If you don't know, how would I know?"

As the two were discussing, the enormous Shukaku twitched its nose twice, seemingly having caught Breath of human presence!

Then, it opened its huge mouth and slammed its massive paw into its belly!

"Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!"

"Whoa!!"

An invisible stream of compressed air spewed out from its mouth!

The air current swept towards where Sasuke and the other person were!

Wherever it went, trees were easily broken!

If this High-Pressure Airflow were to act on a person, the damage would be no less than being hit by a massive Tailed Beast, and could very likely be fatal!

Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto and ran!

However, the more the two resisted, the more excited the Demon Tanuki Shukaku became!

It kept pressing its belly, and then it spewed out breath after breath of air!

At one point, Naruto was running away, suddenly stopped, and his eyes turned into ferocious and terrifying vertical pupils!

"Sasuke, we can't keep running like this!"

As Naruto spoke, a faint layer of red Chakra appeared on his body!

Seeing Sasuke was surprised. "If we don't run, are we just waiting to die?"

"No, perhaps there are other ways to deal with him!" With that, Naruto bit his finger, formed a hand seal for Summoning Technique, and then slammed his hand to the ground!

"Summoning Technique!!"

During his training at Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya revealed to Naruto that the terrifying Nine-Tails- Tailed Beast was sealed within him.

This is also why Naruto suffered a lot of cold treatment in the village from a young age.

Jiraiya said that Naruto could use Nine-Tails's Chakra to fight in critical moments.

Furthermore, if the Nine-Tails 'Chakra is used to perform Summoning Technique, it can summon a powerful Mount Myōboku Toad.

At that moment, just as Naruto shouted the Summoning Technique, a huge purplish-red Toad appeared in the forest!

This purplish-red Toad, carrying a shield on its back and holding an iron fork, is none other than Gamabunta's brother, Gamaken!

The moment it appeared, Shukaku's training bullets came flying from the opposite side!

Gamaken quickly pulled out a shield from his back and blocked the shockwave of the air bullet!

"Don't summon me in such a dangerous situation next time. Getting hit by a blank bullet will hurt a lot," Gamaken complained.

As it spoke, it looked down at the ground, trying to see who had summoned it this time.

"Huh? Aren't you that Red-Haired Kid's friend? How did you manage to summon me?"

Upon seeing Naruto, Gamaken asked in surprise.

"Ah, Uncle Toad, there's no time to explain! Is there any way to defeat that giant monster?" Naruto said anxiously.

Just then...

Suddenly, something unusual happened in the direction of the village in the distance!

Naruto and Sasuke quickly turned their heads and immediately saw the enormous Wooden Man, hundreds of meters tall!

What is that?! (꒪⌓꒪)

Sasuke looked terrified.

I've lived in this village for over ten years and have never seen such a huge creature!

"I don't know. If it could help, it might be able to smash this monster that Gaara turned into with a single slap!" Naruto said through gritted teeth.

Gamaken also looked in the direction of Konoha, squinting as he said, "It looks like it's the First Hokage's Wooden Man."

Shukaku, who was not far from the group, also saw the giant Wooden Man, and his eyes widened in horror!

Hashirama Senju used this very technique to capture the Tailed Beasts!

Compared to the Wooden Man Kannon with its Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, the Tailed Beasts were only the size of a palm and were easily captured!

"Could it be that the First Hokage of Konoha has been resurrected?! Why am I seeing the Wooden Guanyin again?!"

Shukaku was terrified.

It had finally managed to get some fresh air, and it didn't want to be disturbed by the Wooden Man!

Just then...

Using the Flying Thunder Shinki Flying Thunder God Technique, the giant Wooden Buddha was teleported to Naruto's side outside Konoha!

"Boom!!"

A colossal Guanyin, formed from Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, has appeared!!

Naruto, Sasuke, Gamaken: (꒪⌓꒪),∑(✘Д✘๑), (ノ°ο°)ノ

Everyone was stunned!!

Petrification!!

"How... how did you do that..." Gamaken stammered, stunned.

"This must be the legendary Wood Release. Could it be that the First Hokage has been resurrected?" Sasuke asked.

At that moment, Naruto saw the Shinki standing atop the Great Buddha's head.

Instantly, he was stunned for half a second, as if he had been electrocuted!

Then, he pointed to the top of the Great Buddha's head and shouted, "Shinki! Look, it's Shinki! The one standing on top of the Wooden Buddha's head is Shinki!"

Sasuke swallowed hard, following the direction Naruto was pointing, and sure enough, he saw the red shadow atop the giant Wooden Buddha's head!

This...

They have been living with the Shinki for some time now.

They knew that Shinki possessed Ninjutsu talent far exceeding that of ordinary people, but they never expected that Shinki could actually use Wood Release!

Moreover, the Wood Release he used was so powerful and terrifying!!

That's awesome!!

This is amazing!!

On the other side, Shukaku turned and ran the moment he saw the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands appear.

Its hard-won freedom must not be captured by the Wooden Man!

Seeing that Shukaku was about to run away, Shinki controlled the giant wooden Guanyin to stand up and extend a wooden hand that was two or three hundred meters long.

"Call!"

The giant wooden hand swung down and easily grabbed Shukaku as he tried to escape.

The Wooden Buddha's size is comparable to that of an ordinary human and a cat compared to the Tailed Beast!

After capturing the Demon Tanuki, Shinki noticed Gaara sleeping atop Shukaku's head.

Wanting to find out the reason, the Shinki stepped down from the Wooden Man's head and punched Gaara in the face!

This punch not only shattered the sand armor covering Gaara's skin, but also woke Gaara up.

He even managed to swell up half of Gaara's face, and when he opened his mouth, two large molars came out!

Gaara awoke, Shukaku's enormous body turned to sand and vanished...

The first thing Gaara saw when he opened his eyes was the red-haired Shinki, and hatred and fear flashed in his eyes. "You... you... you..."

Before Gaara finish speaking, Shinki bound his hands and feet with Vines, intending to take him back to the village for interrogation!
