This time, Rasa agreed.
However, in reality, neither Shukaku nor Rasa had any intention of abiding by this agreement.
The former planned to run away directly, while the latter planned to put Bunpuku into a new container after his death.
Only Bunpuku, who was kept in the dark, was extremely gratified, believing that this was the first step towards reconciliation between the villagers and Shukaku, who was Tailed Beast.
After making a verbal agreement with Shukaku through Bunpuku, Rasa quickly mobilized his forces and once again led the Sand Ninja to attack Konoha.
This intelligence was quickly discovered by the Byakugan ninjas of the Konoha Hyuga Clan stationed around the Konoha camp.
"So they really came..."
This time, the people standing at the forefront of Konoha were no longer just Dan Katō, Tsunade and Meikyō.
Beside Meikyō stood a tall, handsome young man with blond hair.
Minato Namikaze was temporarily transferred from the Stone Village battlefield after Hiruzen Sarutobi received information that Suna might deploy its Tailed Beast.
Among the many skilled fighters in Konoha, only Minato Namikaze, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, could possibly arrive here in such a short time.
"If Tailed Beast really appears this time, then according to the plan, I will hold off the One-Tail, and the rest Rasa and the others, will be left to you."
Dan Katō explained to Meikyō, Minato Namikaze, and the others.
"Don't worry, Senior Duan."
Minato Namikaze nodded confidently.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wouldn't be easily defeated by any ninja.
"Gentlemen, it's time to go!"
Tsunade looked at the sand surging forward like a tide and the rapidly cracking ground ahead, and warned the people around her while her hands quickly Hand Seals.
Earth Style: Earth River Flow!
Meikyō followed Tsunade's movements closely.
Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!
"Compound Ninjutsu Art: Earth Dragon Flame Flow!"
Rasa flew low above a plate made of Gold Dust, his eyes constantly searching for Dan Katō's figure on the battlefield, while simultaneously scattering countless Gold Dust, causing widespread damage to the surrounding area.
"Found you, Dan Katō!"
Upon seeing Dan Katō, who was also levitating in mid-air in the distance, Rasa's eyes flashed with intense killing intent, and he quickly rushed forward.
However, at that moment, several Great Fireball, like cannonballs, bombarded him from the ground.
Rasa swiftly dodged two of them in mid-air, then used Gold Dust to form a shield, blocking the Great Fireball.
"This kind of Fire Style..."
Rasa looked at the scorching hot Gold Dust shield, with golden liquid still dripping from its edges.
He knew that there were not many people in the entire Ninja World who possessed such mastery of Fire Style techniques, and in the Konoha camp before him, there was only Uchiha Meikyō.
"The Meikyō the Body Flicker?"
Rasa lowered his head and saw a young ninja wearing a blue-black haori and carrying a sword in one hand not far ahead.
"This time, your opponent is me."
Meikyō brandished his katana, pointing it at Rasa.
Rasa didn't say anything about it.
His strength is slightly inferior to Dan Katō, but he has the advantage of being able to fly when facing Uchiha Meikyō.
"Although I want to deal with your teacher, I want to deal with you too."
Rasa's eyes were cold as he raised his hand and conjured countless spears made of Gold Dust, which he then threw at Meikyō from afar.
This time, he, Chiyo, Karura only need to hold off a few skilled fighters in the Konoha camp who might be capable of stopping the Tailed Beast.
Just as Meikyō and Rasa were fighting, a tremendous earthquake shook the battlefield not far from them.
That was the effect of Tsunade's Super Strength Punch striking the ground.
She also clashed with Karura, or rather, was held back by Karura. In terms of direct combat strength, Tsunade's strength is actually greater than Karura's.
It was precisely because the average level of combat power of the high-level forces on the Konoha side was higher than that on the Suna side that the strategic space of the Suna had been gradually compressed in the past two years, forcing them to the point where Fudō the Tailed Beast.
"It seems that this time, it will be my turn to fight Dan Katō."
Chiyo commanded the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, Earth Flow leisurely across the battlefield. The ten puppets around her, manipulated by her fingers, were virtually unstoppable.
"No, Chiyo from Suna, the opponent you are facing this time is not Dan-senpai, but me."
A golden flash appeared instantly in front of Chiyo. Minato Namikaze drew his Trident Kunai and said with a cold expression.
"Konoha's Yellow Flash? Another speed-type ninja? Weren't you fighting Jiraiya with Iwagakure? How did you end up here?"
But Chiyo had no time to remain doubtful, because Minato Namikaze had already rushed in front of her in an instant.
Chiyo could only raise the puppet arm to release Mechanism Seal to protect herself, and then summon the other puppets to fight Minato Namikaze.
Within the Suna Village's territory.
The elderly Bunpuku walked forward with faltering steps.
"The Fourth Hokage and Elder Chiyo have already begun to fight against the experts of Konoha. Now, it's your turn to make your move."
After sensing the burst of Chakra belonging to Rasa and the others, a Suna Sensor Ninja turned to Bunpuku and spoke coldly.
Bunpuku was not dissatisfied with the attitude of the Sensor Ninja. Instead, he put his hands together, recited a Buddhist chant to express his gratitude, and then quietly sat cross-legged on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the ninja immediately ran off in another direction without looking back.
A dozen seconds later, accompanied by a roar, a giant yellow beast covered in Cursed Mark appeared in the spot where it had been standing.
"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"
As soon as Shukaku appeared, it wanted to run around and have fun.
After much persuasion from the inner Bunpuku, he finally turned his attention to the ninjas of Konoha.
Shukaku had no objections.
Anyway, all he wanted to do after coming out was to vent his anger. He wanted to kill the people from Suna and the people from Konoha.
Just then, a person whose body was shimmering with dazzling blue light slowly descended from the sky and floated in front of Shukaku.
"So this is Tailed Beast? It's really big."
Dan Katō looked at Shukaku with a look of amazement, then decisively activated his Nen power and launched an attack on Shukaku.
Enraged by Dan Katō's dog-like gaze, Shukaku unleashed sand Wind Style, launching a furious counterattack against Dan Katō.
The Tailed Beast's massive, mountain-like size immediately drew the attention of the entire battlefield upon its appearance.
