"Damn you! I'll kill you! Kill you!"
Shukaku's hysterical screams still echoed over the island.
After being bound by Hyuga Kagami's Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, Shukaku immediately began struggling violently. Yet no matter how it struggled, the Wood Dragon binding it did not loosen in the slightest.
Not only that, as vast amounts of Tailed Beast chakra flowed from Shukaku's body into the Wood Dragon, the dragon coiling around it grew ever thicker and sturdier.
It was foreseeable that the ultimate victor in this clash between Shukaku and the Wood Dragon would undoubtedly be the Wood Dragon.
As the caster, Hyuga Kagami wore a trace of surprise as he watched the scene before him.
He knew that Wood Release could suppress Tailed Beasts, but he had not expected the effect to be this good. Under Wood Release, powerful Tailed Beasts were practically nothing more than oversized toys.
No wonder the First Hokage casually gathered all the Tailed Beasts...
Judging by the situation before him, once a Tailed Beast encountered the First Hokage, let alone fight, it probably would not even have a chance to flee. Even the strongest of them, the Nine-Tails, would be no exception.
"Tailed Beasts may indeed have been toys to the First Hokage, but to other ninja, they're monsters through and through. The First Hokage's decision to distribute Tailed Beasts to the other villages was far too reckless."
Thinking of this, Hyuga Kagami could not help internally criticizing the First Hokage's decision once again.
In his view, rather than distributing the Tailed Beasts, it would have been more appropriate to seal them all away somewhere no one knew about.
After all, in the previous Ninja World Wars, the Tailed Beasts had become the enemy's strength entirely, while Konoha, their original owner, had instead suffered greatly
