A surge of power filled Shinsei's body; he felt he had inexhaustible strength.
Senjutsu Chakra flowed through his body, giving him seemingly endless vitality.
He activated the Storm Release within his body, and purple-white Chakra covered his entire body, as if he were wearing a layer of faintly glowing armor.
Shinsei started running, his body transforming into lightning. The distant One-Tail Shukaku disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Shinsei was in front of Shukaku.
Shukaku was about to strike with its claws, Shinsei was already behind it.
Shinsei aimed a kick at Shukaku's rear end and gave it a hard kick.
Sage Art Superhuman Strength - Heavenly Foot of Pain!
Shukaku felt a tremendous force strike his buttocks, and his entire body was kicked into the air.
Shinsei used Chakra chakra to connect with the earth, stabilizing himself. He grabbed Shukaku's tail with both hands and swung it forcefully. With a loud bang, Shukaku was slammed into the ground by the immense force, kicking up a large amount of sand.
With the aid of Senjutsu Chakra and Superhuman Strength, Shinsei's power finally surpassed that of his teacher, Tsunade.
Senjutsu Chakra can enhance the power of Ninjutsu and physical strength by varying degrees, ranging from several times to dozens of times.
Shinsei felt that the improvement in the quality of his Senjutsu Chakra was far more than just a few times. If he were using Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique with ordinary Chakra, he wouldn't even dare to hope that he could kick Shukaku's massive body away with one kick.
Shukaku scrambled to its feet, dazed, and tried to pull its tail back, but found it would Fudo. It opened its mouth and spit out Air Bullet.
Shinsei turned his tail to one side, pulled it over, and used the excess part to lash out at the incoming Air Bullet.
With a loud crack, a section of Shukaku's tail was blasted off by its own Air Bullet.
"I'm getting angry!" Shukaku roared angrily, waving its claws and slapping at him forcefully.
Ignoring everything else, Shinsei yanked hard on its tail, and before Shukaku's claws could strike, its body flew up again.
With a thud, Shukaku was once again thrown onto the sand by the immense force.
"Call me boss!" Shinsei shouted as he swung his sword.
"I'm going to tear you to pieces!" With a bang, Shukaku's massive body was swung to the other side.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! After several powerful slams, Shukaku was speechless.
With a snap, Shukaku's tail was severed at the root. Taking advantage of Shukaku's momentary daze, Shinsei jumped to a distance.
"I'm really angry!" Shukaku yelled, pointing his head towards the sky, eventually condensing into a huge Chakra ball that was a mixture of blue and purple.
Holy crap! Tailed Beast Bomb!
Once this thing is unleashed, Shinsei can't withstand it. His body transforms into a purple-white flash of light, rushing in front of Shukaku in one step. With a stomp of his foot, he takes flight, activating the Sage Art: Superhuman Strength - Heavenly Foot of Pain Kick once again.
Shinsei kicked Shukaku hard in the chin, causing it to bite down on the nascent Tailed Beast Bomb Ball.
Shukaku's mouth suddenly swelled up, its eyes widened and then became lifeless, and the entire Tailed Beast lay on the ground, groaning softly.
"Should I call you Boss or not?" Shinsei stood in front of Shukaku and patted its beak.
Shukaku's expression was no longer as fierce as before, and its eyes had become much clearer.
It rolled its eyes, its entire body contracted rapidly, shrinking until it disappeared completely, leaving only the body of the red-haired boy, Shinsei, in the center of the arena.
"It ran away already?" Shinsei felt he hadn't had enough fun yet. This raccoon, aside from its bad temper, seemed kind of cute too.
Gaara opened his eyes and looked at Shinsei with a complicated expression.
"I lost." Gaara said calmly. He had tried everything, but he still couldn't stop the fate of Sand Shadow Village.
" Shinsei!" A boy's voice rang out from afar. Shinsei looked over and saw his classmate waving from a distance.
Kiba Inuzuka stretched out his hand, gave a thumbs-up, and smiled broadly. Even Akamaru was perched on Kiba's head, wagging his tail happily.
Hinata blushed, and when Shinsei looked over, she lowered her head shyly.
Shinsei walked over and greeted them one by one.
Shino Aburame withdrew his hand from Shinsei's shoulder and casually adjusted his sunglasses. Luckily, he was used to being ignored, so as long as no one noticed his action, he wouldn't feel embarrassed.
Back in the residential area, the villagers of Sunagakure looked at Shinsei with a complex yet awe-inspiring gaze.
Wherever the Konoha group passed, a huge empty circle automatically appeared.
Fortunately, everything went exceptionally smoothly afterward, and all the elders of Sunagakure agreed to Konoha's conditions.
After discussing it with Kurenai Yuhi, the group decided to return to Konoha immediately.
There was nowhere left to stay here; the residents of Sunagakure looked at them as if they were enemies.
It seems I don't have Naruto's charm of being able to befriend anyone. When I become Hokage, I'll appoint Naruto Minister of Foreign Affairs. After all, Naruto's greatest strength isn't his Ninjutsu, but his Talk no Jutsu.
After politely declining the Sand Village's offer to stay again, the Konoha group left the Sunagakure before it got too dark.
This behavior was extremely disrespectful to the Sunagakure. However, Shinsei didn't care. For Shinsei, strength was his greatest source of confidence to do whatever he wanted. As long as it didn't violate his conscience and morality, how could such worldly rules concern a sage like himself?
Chiyo watched the Konoha members disappear into the distance, then turned to look at Baki beside her, shook her head helplessly, and finally fixed her gaze on Gaara.
It seems that Konoha is about to produce another figure like Hashirama Senju, and Sunagakure can't possibly have Baki to compare with him. Only Gaara's performance is slightly better.
Looking at Gaara's calm face, it seems that this child has changed a lot too.
As the sun set and darkness fell, Shinsei used Earth Release, employing his powerful Chakra manipulation to build several earthen houses for everyone.
After completing their mission, the group wasn't in a hurry to return to Konoha. Since it was a rare opportunity to leave the village, they wanted to experience the local customs and culture of different places.
The next morning, the group continued their journey while the weather was still cool.
" Shinsei." Kurenai Yuhi called out to Shinsei, who was leading the way.
"What's wrong, Senior Hong?"
"This route is a bit roundabout, isn't it? What are you going to do?" As Jonin frequently goes on missions, Kurenai Yuhi has an excellent sense of direction.
"Yes, Senior Kurenai. The ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran aren't far from here, and I'd like to take a look on the way." Shinsei saw the Fourth Hokage's description of Rōran while browsing through the mission archives.
Although no specific details are recorded, it is still certain that a small country called Rōran existed here.
Shinsei was particularly interested in one of the special types of Chakra — the Dragon Vein.
I remember there was a Hokage spin-off movie in my past life that told the story of Naruto traveling back 20 years.
During this trip to the Land of Wind, I must visit the ruins of Rōran to see if the natural Chakra of that Dragon Vein can be used by Shinsei himself.
