Outside Konoha.
Training Ground 6, arena.
Yellow sand billowed across the sky.
Shukaku's massive body suddenly leaped into the air.
Violent Wind Style Chakra gathered in its mouth.
Drilling Air Bullets, like heavy artillery shells, blasted toward the gigantic Beetle in midair.
But Chōmei had no intention of taking them head-on.
Though its body was enormous, its movements were extraordinarily agile.
Its three pairs of transparent wings vibrated frantically.
A piercing buzz rang throughout the entire venue.
Chōmei instantly shot dozens of meters higher, easily dodging all of Shukaku's attacks.
The Drilling Air Bullets struck the Wood Style Barrier, sending ripples across its surface.

Chōmei circled through the air, letting out deafening laughter.
"Stinking Raccoon Dog!"
"If you've got the guts, fly up here and fight me!"

Chōmei, with its seven tails, far surpassed Shukaku.
But when it came to combat skill and Chakra control, Shukaku definitely ranked among the best.
If they truly clashed head-on on the ground, Chōmei might not necessarily be able to defeat Shukaku.
But Chōmei could fly!

Large amounts of yellow sand transformed into spears and shot toward the sky like a blanket over the heavens.
Chōmei flicked its tail.
Dazzling blue-green scale powder scattered down like a torrential rain.
Not only could this scale powder obstruct vision, it also contained potent paralytic poison.
The moment the sand spears came into contact with the scale powder, they lost control and fell feebly to the ground.
The spectators in the stands were dumbfounded.
The leaders
