Six-Tails Saiken was the smallest, but the hardest to deal with. Corrosive liquid sprayed from its mouth, eating away at the ground wherever it passed.
Gaara spread his sand over it, piling on layer after layer, but the Six-Tails' corrosive liquid seeped through too quickly, dissolving each layer in turn.

But his chakra was nearly depleted, and his breathing grew heavier.
Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta, who slashed the Four-Tails' shoulder with his blade. Lava splashed onto the steel, burning blackened pits into it.
