He looked toward Shukaku beside him.
"Big brother, don't finish me off!"
Shukaku's voice was almost pleading.
"When have I ever harmed any of you?"
That was Kitahara Kaede's reply to Shukaku.
Total Fusion! The Oriole Lurks Behind?
With no surprise at all, Shukaku was absorbed into Kitahara Kaede's body.
Kitahara Kaede's body immediately began to swell.
"I didn't expect it to be this severe!"
Kitahara Kaede was greatly startled and hurriedly began suppressing it.

One bottomless ravine after another appeared across the earth.
Even the Hidden Leaf Village, far away from here,
felt the disturbance.
Some Chunin and Genin had originally intended to investigate.
But the Hidden Leaf Village's Kage-level and Super Kage-level
