The fierce battle raged on. Sunagakure Camp had been reduced to ruins.
Under Chiyo and the Third Kazekage's command, squad after squad of Sand Shinobi launched coordinated attacks on the One-Tail.
Farther away, behind a dirt embankment, other Sand Shinobi squads began inscribing a Sealing Formation.
This time, they worked out of sight. With Fugaku controlling the One-Tail, many of their usual methods were no longer much use.
Powerful group Ninjutsu struck at Shukaku again and again.
Air Bullets flew one after another. Though Shukaku struck alternately with both forepaws, he could not scatter every attack.
No matter how strong he was, he could not fend off so many foes at once. Each Sand Shinobi squad held a different position, forcing the One-Tail to race from one threat to the next.
Chunks of sand flew from the One-Tail's body, but against his enormous bulk, the damage was negligible.
All it did was enrage him.
More and more Iron Sand gathered around the Third Kazekage.
The One-Tail suddenly lunged forward and stamped down with both forepaws. Several Ninja in the Camp failed to dodge and were crushed beneath them.
The Sand Shinobi squads, which had only just found their rhythm, fell into disarray and had to organize their attack again.
The Iron Sand drifting around the Third Kazekage gathered and rose, soon reaching the air above Shukaku.

The Iron Sand overhead gathered into an enormous web that spread outward.
Spiked strands of Iron Sand shot out in every direction. In the blink of an eye, the web covered a vast area.
