One-Tailed Shukaku, Piercing Voice

Facing the Tailed Beast, which had gone utterly berserk and radiated an aura of destruction, Simu showed not the slightest fear. Instead, he looked a little excited, with a strong urge to dissect and study the huge creature before him.

"If the intelligence is correct, you should be the One-Tailed Shukaku, right?"

Simu adjusted his glasses, his face filled with intense interest.

"A life-form composed entirely of Chakra... How utterly fascinating."

The One-Tailed Shukaku before him resembled a small brown mountain. It looked somewhat like a raccoon dog, with an enormous belly. Its brown body resembled exposed rocks in the Gobi Desert, covered in numerous black markings, while a massive tail swayed constantly behind it.

"Damn brat."

Shukaku opened his mouth and let out an incredibly piercing voice, his cross-shaped eyes fixed coldly on Simu, the intruder who had suddenly appeared.

He could not sense even a trace of fear from this fellow. There was only curiosity toward him and... burning fervor.

"Brat, how did you get in here?"

Invading another person's mental world was no easy task. Entering a Jinchuriki's body was even more difficult.

It also came with enormous risks. If one's consciousness was destroyed in another person's mental world, the soul of the physical body would be severely affected as well.

More importantly...

Shukaku could share Gaara's vision around the clock, yet he had not noticed any sign that Gaara's mind had been invaded. That meant the other party's method of infiltration was extremely covert.

"Could it have been... that pill?"

Shukaku suddenly remembered something. If there was anything suspicious, it could only have been the pill Gaara had just swallowed.

Simu adjusted his glasses and took out a notebook, continuously writing something down.

"Besides having a piercing voice, the One-Tailed Shukaku is fairly intelligent too."
