See? Tailed Beasts Aren't That Scary!

Silence reigned all around.

At that moment, Kyohiko's roar of "You're too strong!" still seemed to echo in their ears.

but.

The current situation is--

Shukaku lay on the ground, as docile as a sleeping tanuki.

Or perhaps it's asleep.

However.

No one would think that Shukaku fell asleep because it was kind or not aggressive, but because it was directly suppressed by Kyohiko's Ninjutsu. It was no match for Kyohiko in a single move!

An unbelievable scene.

Prior to this, they understood Konoha's strength and were also aware of Kyohiko's reputation.

The person most likely to become the next Hashirama Senju!

It may seem ordinary, but it is actually the highest praise.

Besides this person...

Who can become the next Hashirama Senju?

No!

Even Minato Namikaze, who was hailed as the Yellow Flash of Konoha, was actually only closer to Senju Tobirama in terms of speed and Ninjutsu.

Reputation is reputation.

However, many Sunagakure here had never actually seen Kyohiko in action before, or rather...

I've never seen him like this before; I wonder just how powerful he truly is!

Now, they have seen it.

"Elder, can we really defeat someone like that?"

Baki's eyes widened in disbelief.

He maintained this expression for several seconds, but the shock and despair in his heart had not yet dissipated.

What kind of Ninjutsu is this?

There's absolutely no comparison!

At this moment, in his heart, Kyohiko...

This guy, who was about the same age as him, was already an invincible powerhouse.

Elder Naito remained silent.

He didn't know how to comfort or guide them.

Faced with absolute power, any rhetoric seems pale and powerless.

Compared to Rasa's entanglement with Shukaku and his slow sealing of Shukaku with the help of Gold Dust, the opponent's power is more terrifying, direct, and decisive.

One strike!

That's the difference between the two.

Seeing this scene, they could almost imagine the duel between Kyohiko and Rasa.

While it might not be possible to suppress it with a single strike combined with another Ninjutsu, as it was with Shukaku, it certainly wouldn't be too troublesome.

The gap in strength cannot be bridged by lies.

After a long silence, he whispered, "Yes, as long as we can survive and pass the village down from generation to generation, we will eventually have hope!"

That's how our predecessors got by back then.

He thought to himself.

Strive for the next generation, and the generation after that.

This is a shameful and regrettable practice.

Because they simply cannot defeat the terrifying enemy before them!

At this moment, both Elder Naito and Rasa understood one thing—

Why did Kyohiko agree to help?

because...

The other party wants to establish their authority!

The people of Konoha need to make them realize the gap between them, and to act as their "ally" properly, without causing them any trouble.

What appears to be a gesture of help is actually a terrifying warning!

That's exactly what Kyohiko thought.

If his goal was simply to suppress Shukaku, he had many simpler methods.

For example, the Gate of the Great God.

but.

The size, strength, and impact of the Wood Human Technique the Gate of the Great God, and the shock of this attack will make these people remember the scene before them.

This will become a profound memory for this generation of Sunagakure!

Kyohiko walked up to Shukaku.

Then, he looked at Rasa.

"Lord Kazekage, I'll see this request through to the end. Bring me here whoever you want sealed inside."

"Good."

Rasa answered.

He was only just awakened from his shock and despair.

Now is not the time to despair.

As the Kazekage, he must pull himself together and find the right direction for Sunagakure.

Faced with Kyohiko and Konoha, he clearly only had one choice left.

Cooperation, alliances!

The Shadow Clone arrived in Body Flicker Technique, carrying Temari.

Temari looked at her father, and then she looked at Kyohiko in the distance.

"I'll go myself!"

Temari refused Rasa's offer to take her there.

She walked step by step toward that terrifying Tailed Beast, as if walking toward a hopeless future.

She took a deep breath only when she was right in front of Kyohiko.

Come on! I'm not afraid!

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled, and her face was deathly pale.

Obviously.

Temari's inner strength is not as strong as she claims.

She was terrified!

In particular, Rasa said that she would most likely go to Konoha in the future.

and.

Such a "future" may not be too far off...

At only two or three years old, she suddenly grew up on this day.

She understood--

I'm going to be sacrificed!

"Tailed Beast aren't actually that scary. If you train diligently and befriend them, you'll find that their thinking is quite simple..."

Kyohiko smiled.

Temari Awakening, a hint of disbelief in her gaze.

you...

Are you trying to comfort me?

She didn't speak, but her expression and eyes seemed to speak volumes.

Kyohiko nodded slightly.

You can take this as a consolation, or you can take it as me hoping you understand how great and strong your ex was.

The previous one...

Temari looked into the distance.

There was a body buried under the yellow sand.

He was the village's Jinchuriki, but no one knew his name; his father and others all called him "Shukaku."

Would I do that myself?

She remained silent.

The next second, Kyohiko created a Shadow Clone, and then Hand Seals.

Immediately, a vine sprouted, and a Shukaku Chakra was drawn from it and quickly sealed into Temari's body.

With the first wisp as a seed...

Soon, Chakra began to flow into her body, forming a continuous stream through the vines.

A look of pain appeared on Temari's face.

She wanted to cry, she wanted to cry for help.

But when she turned around, she saw Rasa, the Rasa who had brought her here and personally escorted her!

Temari smiled silently.

Her smile was more like a grimace, but she gritted her teeth and held back, remaining silent.

Shukaku slept peacefully.

However, as Chakra slowly flowed into her body, a violent and indescribable hatred surged forth from within her.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill everyone who made her Jinchuriki!

A look of madness and pain crossed Temari's face.

but.

Kyohiko placed his hand on her forehead, and under the effect of the Genjutsu, her negative emotions were gradually guided and dissipated, until finally, she became completely calm.

A few minutes later, all of Shukaku's Chakra was finally sealed into her body.

The next moment, the Hand Seals for the Shadow Clone were successfully completed.

Centered on Temari, various techniques were scattered around it, forming a huge graphic.

Immediately, a palm was placed on Temari's abdomen.

All the surgical techniques quickly converged towards Temari, eventually covering her abdomen.

The Four Symbols Seal!

The Tailed Beast Chakra within her body was gradually sealed in the core area, and no further unusual activity occurred.

Temari fainted.

Rasa walked over, his face filled with guilt and sadness.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to place a seal on his daughter, but the current situation has left him with no other option.

He had no choice but to sacrifice Temari!

After a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Thank you."

Although Kyohiko had other schemes and ideas, at least Kyohiko 'Temari process go very smoothly and without much pain.

This is the greatest act of kindness for a daughter.

Rasa sighed softly.

"It's nothing, but I think you should think carefully about whether to let her stay in the village until she's five years old."

Kyohiko said.

Obviously.

Faced with Obito and his group, Sunagakure had no ability to protect Shukaku.

"Obito still somewhat naive, but what if Kakuzu and Raiga Kurosuki come together, or that guy who's half black and half white..."

"They certainly wouldn't be so indecisive."

Kyohiko said solemnly.

The current Obito, due to different circumstances and developments, seems to retain a relatively large degree of "kindness."

However.

Under the influence and manipulation of Madara and Black Zetsu, this kindness will eventually fade away.

Ultimately, only heaven knows what Obito Uchiha will become.

Rasa nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "I will seriously consider it. Please stay in the village for a while longer..."

"I can't stay here for long; I need to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Kyohiko answered.

Rasa expressed his understanding.

Although Konoha is the Tsunade Hokage, who doesn't know about Tsunade relationship with Kyohiko?

Moreover, in Konoha, Kyohiko is the captain of the Anbu and an important force in the Konoha.

As a village possessing the Nine-Tails and hated by the other ninja villages, Konoha also faces a considerable crisis, and being able to stay here for a while is already a great concession.

He understood.

He had to make a quick decision and persuade the village elders.

Fortunately, this decision shouldn't be too difficult...

after all.

Rasa stared at the terrifying crater.

That was where Shukaku had been, but it was also created by Kyohiko's Ninjutsu attack.

With such terrifying power, who in Sunagakure can stand against it now?

Elsewhere, Obito emerged from the void, covering his eyes, looking very dejected.

Suddenly.

Damn it! Damn it!

He angrily kicked the stone in front of him.

at this time.

Complaining won't help.

Behind him, White Zetsu emerged from the ground, "If you had taken him with you then, the situation would definitely be different now!"

"It's not that easy! He's a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast. Even if I could, I wouldn't be able to quickly absorb him into my spatial dimension if he didn't want to be taken away by me!"

Obito angrily.

He still can't understand it.

Why Bunpuku so foolish?

If Bunpuku is willing to go with him, this plan will go very smoothly.

However.

The opponent was determined to fight back, and in the end even Tailed Beast Transformation to confront him, forcing him to use even greater power.

White Zetsu's lips curled slightly, then he said in a low voice, "You've messed things up. The adults will definitely punish us when we get back. We should think of ways to make amends now."

Obito was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You're right, but now, how should we remedy this? Shukaku is already in Kyohiko's hands, and I'm no match for him!"

"Then, what about the Nine-Tails?"

Nine-Tails?

Obito was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Nine-Tails, although Konoha has lost Kyohiko Yoshimine, Minato Namikaze is still in Konoha and hasn't left, and..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Even we couldn't have predicted that Kyohiko Yoshimine would suddenly come to our aid, let alone with that woman in the shadows!"

White Zetsu sneered, "Perhaps, we can kill her first!"

"That guy, definitely!"

A fierce glint flashed in Obito's eyes.

If it weren't for that woman interfering, he would have had the same opportunity to take Shukaku away, and this wasn't the first time he had discovered traces of that woman during this period.

"She should be Pakura from Sunagakure, but I don't know why she's still alive..."

Obito frowned, lost in thought.

Just then, he suddenly felt an immense sense of crisis.

This is...

He instantly activated his Sharingan.

The next second, just as White Zetsu lunged at his neck, his neck area became indistinct.

The head of the "White Zetsu" brushed past him.

Obito was furious. He dodged in a Body Flicker Technique and looked at the "White Zetsu".

"You're Orochimaru?!"

"Foolish child, I came to help you, why do you refuse my kindness?"

The "White Zetsu" changed rapidly.

Finally, Orochimaru appeared before him.

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised.

According to his calculations, this attack was sure to succeed, but unexpectedly, Obito was able to partially "intangible" and dodge the attack by covering his neck.

He looked into the other person's eyes and couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Sharingan, what interesting eyes!"

Orochimaru, I'll kill you sooner or later!

Obito was annoyed and ashamed.

If it weren't for the power of the Sharingan, he would already be bitten by the other party, and it's hard to imagine what the consequences would be.

"Now, you can kill me."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

Suddenly, snakes began to spread from his hands, while a huge snake in his other hand lunged out with incredible speed.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!

However, Obito's figure vanished into another dimension, disappearing into nothingness.

"What a pity."

Orochimaru frowned.

Although they obtained the body of a White Zetsu, they failed to capture the most important Obito Uchiha, making the operation a failure overall.

Fortunately.

Kyohiko has already helped him achieve the basic goal.

"I wonder if Kyohiko could Shukaku directly back to the village? I hope Rasa be sensible!"

Even he wouldn't dare say he could easily defeat Obito's bizarre ability.

Rasa...

Needless to say.

Moreover...

It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.

The Sunagakure currently lacks the ability to protect the Tailed Beast!

In Konoha, Tsunade paced back and forth.

She looked at the Minato.

"Did Jiraiya really say that?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage. Also, what the Teacher meant was that Amegakure is a very important force for Konoha, and if we can win it over, we definitely should..."

Minato Namikaze said.

Tsunade nodded repeatedly. "I know, of course I understand!"

She took a deep breath.

How could she not know the importance of Amegakure?

As a buffer zone between the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire, Land of Wind, Amegakure serves as a gateway between these three great nations.

This place is extremely important!

That's why she felt that Jiraiya's current actions were too rash, possibly influenced by those three children.

certainly.

More importantly--

There's still no news about Kyohiko's current situation; he's returned to the village.

What's the situation in Sunagakure?

Tsunade was unable to calm down.

but.

Minato's thoughts, however, remained unusually calm.

"Lord Hokage, Shukaku will definitely be fine with Kyohiko on his side. What we need to do is keep an eye on Kushina and ensure there are no problems within our ranks."

"Yes, but we also need to get a response from Takigakure."

Tsunade had a terrible headache.

They have officially received feedback.

The leader of Takigakure was killed, Kakuzu and Raiga Kurosuki left Takigakure with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Regardless of whether the two men were injured, the enemy's strength was indeed greatly enhanced.

Now, Nara Shikaku is even further away in the Land of Snow.

Regarding the plea for help from Takigakure...

Originally Takigakure should have been the most suitable Jiraiya, but now that's clearly impossible.

"Send an elite squad to assist with the defense and construction of Takigakure, and list Kakuzu Raiga Kurosuki as wanted criminals of Konoha..."
