You Think You're Good at Fighting? (Bonus Chapter for Helmsman Pressure-Stricken Little Werewolf)

Gaara, the Jinchuriki on Shukaku's head, has fallen into a deep sleep, Adamantine Sealing Chains seals Shukaku and Gaara together.

Almost instantly, Shukaku was unable to move.

This is the domineering nature of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu; regardless of anything else, the sealing is done!

"Kurama!"

Shukaku screamed meaningless words and struggled frantically, but to no avail.

Naruto temporarily ignored the enormous Shukaku and, after running through the forest for a few minutes, found Sasuke barely alive in a completely crushed thicket.

Sasuke's face was pale, and his neck was covered with black Curse Mark of Heaven, which shimmered with a fiery red like magma.

"How are you?" Naruto slapped Sasuke's cheek, another little battlefield tactic.

If a teammate collapses nearby, their life hanging in the balance, the first step should be to rouse them from consciousness. Then, inquire about their condition. If the teammate is still able to respond, it proves that their mouth and nose are not obstructed.

If a teammate gives an irrelevant answer, there are only two possibilities: they're mentally unstable or they're about to die, and they're just talking nonsense.

I suggest looting the bag directly.

"Cough cough!!" Sasuke coughed up blood, opened his eyes and saw Naruto, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Hey, that's going too far." Naruto said, speechless.

"I won't die," Sasuke said calmly.

Naruto stood up, silently gave a thumbs up, and then decisively called Sakura over. As expected of Uchiha Sasuke, his mouth could probably produce a few relics even after cremation.

"Kankuro." Temari woke up the unconscious Kankuro, and looked around with complicated eyes and saw Kankuro's broken puppet.

"Temari?"

Kankuro slowly woke up, stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, clutching his head.

"My puppet! Sasuke Uchiha!"

Seeing her younger brother crying so sadly, Temari couldn't help but feel sorry for him, but when she thought about her own situation, she couldn't say anything and could only sigh helplessly.

Kankuro cried for a while, Temari asked.

Where is Gaara?

"That guy has gone mad; he went after those two from Konohagakure."

"Which direction is he in? I have to find him!" Temari, enduring the pain in her body as she spoke. "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has gone there; I'm afraid something might have happened to Gaara."

"What could possibly happen to him?" Kankuro was still immersed in the grief of the puppet's shattering, as if he had lost his wife.

He turned his head and was stunned.

"Temari, where's your Three-Star Fan?"

Upon hearing this, Temari bit her lower lip tightly and said.

"It was stolen by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I wonder what technique he used!"

"What use would he have for that thing?" Kankuro said. "Aren't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki weak?"

Temari was no longer willing to speak, so she simply said that the information was incorrect and glossed over the topic.

She and Kankuro, who had lost his inflatable puppet, supported each other as they headed towards Gaara's location.

What's that smell?

"Shut up!"

Both of them were injured, Temari was particularly badly affected, both physically and mentally, so their pace was not very fast.

"Are you really going to go find that madman? He's still insane; he'll kill us."

Temari ignored him and focused on continuing her journey.

"Stop talking nonsense, Kankuro."

Naruto stood in front of Shukaku and then took out Lava Release.

"Damn it! Kid, what are you doing!"

"Let's see when you retreat." Naruto's mind stirred, and more golden chains wrapped around him. "Shukaku, I hope you'll show me respect next time we meet."

I'm going to kill you!

"Lava Release!"

Naruto's Chakra surged out endlessly, Lava Release, boosted by the massive amount of Chakra, instantly surged, engulfing half of Shukaku's body.

"Restrict it."

The Adamantine Sealing Chains tightened again, ignoring Shukaku's screams, and sank deep into Shukaku's mountain-like body.

Seeing this, Naruto immediately felt relieved.

It is protected by the Adamantine Sealing Chains and the Four Symbols Seal. From now on, when you see Tailed Beast, just whip it.

The intense pain caused Gaara to suddenly open his eyes, and Shukaku's consciousness was pulled back into the seal. Gaara's Tailed Beast Transformation also ended, and he was knocked down by Naruto with a single punch.

When Temari and Kankuro arrived, supporting each other, they saw Naruto beating Gaara. Both of them were nearly out of Chakra, so they simply exchanged blows.

Gaara had exhausted too much of his stamina from Shukaku and was also seriously injured, so he was naturally no match for Naruto. What started as a fight quickly turned into a one-sided beating.

"You think you're so good at fighting?" Naruto punched through the sand and landed hard on Gaara's face.

Gaara was sent flying, his face contorted in pain, and he crashed heavily to the ground. He lay there numb, motionless.

"What good is having Tailed Beast!"

Naruto stepped forward, grabbed Gaara by the collar, and delivered another heavy punch. For Jinchuriki, this kind of injury was negligible; it would heal quickly.

"To get ahead in this world, you need power and connections!"

Gaara was punched so hard that his eyes rolled back, but Naruto ignored him and continued to beat him.

"If you hadn't been born into a good family, you would be a corpse by now."

Gaara was on the verge of losing consciousness and couldn't speak. He could only watch as Naruto punched him repeatedly in the face.

"You little scoundrel!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, and molten lava condensed in his hands, ready to be slammed down heavily.

Temari was not far away, panicked and ran over in a panic. Ignoring her injuries, she threw herself on Gaara and cried out.

"You promised you wouldn't kill him!"

Temari was genuinely terrified and cried. This time, all three siblings had perished, and she didn't want Gaara to die like this. Even though Gaara's personality was unpredictable, and even though he was cruel and bloodthirsty.

Naruto didn't kill him. He withdrew his Lava Release and stared expressionlessly at Gaara, who Temari Gaara, for a few seconds before speaking.

"You guys are really lucky, you were born into a good family."

After saying that, Naruto left.

It probably won't be long before news of the reconciliation between Konohagakure and Sunagakure arrives.

Temari, who was tightly Gaara, Temari fear and stared at Naruto's departing figure. The remaining tears on her face dripped onto Gaara's face, warm.

Gaara, his eyes swollen from the beating, stared at Temari's flustered profile, gazing blankly at the tears on his older sister's face, lost in thought.

In the end, Kankuro struggled over and pulled Temari. It was the first time Gaara in such a dying state.

After hesitating for a moment, Kankuro pulled Gaara up.

Temari recovered and came over, together with Kankuro, to put one of Gaara's hands on each of his shoulders.

"Temari".

"Kankuro."

Upon hearing Gaara's voice, the two were immediately stunned. Two seconds later, Gaara's voice rang out again.

"Sorry."

Happy New Year in advance! Here's an extra chapter for the stressed-out Little Werewolf Helmsman.
