Two colossal creatures engaged in a fierce battle in the forest outside Konoha. Just as Shukaku was dragged out of Konoha, the thick-skinned Tailed Beast awoke. The explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb within its body only rendered the giant tanuki unconscious for a dozen minutes.
Shukaku and the wooden golem kept shifting the battlefield, and wherever they passed, it was like a typhoon had passed, with the earth cracking and mountains collapsing. Countless ancient trees were broken in the battle. Naoki Senju controlled the wooden golem to beat Shukaku, but deliberately avoided the unconscious Gaara, so as not to reseal Shukaku.
However, Naoki Senju's actions clearly trampled on Shukaku's last shred of dignity, as the strongest power created by the Sage of Six Paths, the ultimate weapon of the Shinobi World, and one of Shukaku Nine Tailed Beasts.
Even though he's been sealed away by Sunagakure for over a hundred years, when has Shukaku ever been bullied like this? Even that stinky fox wouldn't dare to go this far!
"Human, you've angered Shukaku! Now Shukaku is going to tear you to pieces!"
Since hand-to-hand combat was no match for him, Shukaku simply changed its attack method. Shukaku's two agile tanuki claws were able to Hand Seals just like a human, something even the Nine-Tails couldn't do.
" Sand Waterfall Funeral!"
Jinchūriki can borrow the Chakra of Tailed Beast to exert effects similar to Kekkei Genkai. Tailed Beast can naturally use the Ninjutsu of Jinchūriki. Moreover, Shukaku is the real expert when it comes to Magnet Release. It's just that Sunagakure has studied it more deeply and researched Magnet Release in depth, which is why Gaara, this 'monster', was born.
( Shukaku's abilities are Wind Release and Magnet Release Sealing Jutsu. Sand control is Gaara's own ability, developed by the Second Kazekage. Puppet Technique were also developed by the Second Kazekage.)
With the support of Shukaku's immense Chakra, Gaara's Sand Control Technique unleashed unprecedented power. The ground within a radius of several kilometers began to slightly subside, indicating that the underground rock layers had been pulverized into sand by Shukaku. Fortunately, Naoki Senju dragged Shukaku out of Konoha; otherwise, Konoha wouldn't have needed to suffer and would have been destroyed prematurely.
"Hahaha, you foolish human, daring to lay a hand on Lord Shukaku! Die from this attack!"
Shukaku roared excitedly, but his expression was slightly weak, clearly indicating that the enormous energy consumption of this move was also difficult for Shukaku to bear.
"That big tanuki is so talkative, no wonder Nine-Tails doesn't like it... Haven't the Kirigakure ninja arrived yet? What a pity..."
Naoki Senju looked around. If the Kirigakure Ninja wanted to seize this opportunity to severely damage Konoha, then he would definitely give Kirigakure Ninja a surprise.
However, the Kirigakure Ninja and Mei Terumi were surprisingly calm.
Shukaku's patience was far less than that of the Kirigakure Ninja. He didn't even intend to wait for Naoki Senju to show any weakness before impatiently unleashing a large-scale Ninjutsu that he had been charging up for a long time.
" Sand Binding Coffin!"
Shukaku infused sand with a large amount of Chakra, which surged out of the ground like seawater, turning the battlefield into an ocean of sand. A huge amount of sand flowed around the wooden doll and then kept climbing up it. This was also Gaara's signature Ninjutsu.
The Tailed Beast gradually took on the form of Jinchūriki, and the Jinchūriki were constantly being modified by the Tailed Beast. Shukaku was able to perfectly replicate the Ninjutsu that Gaara was skilled in.
However, the idea that sand can counter Wood Release is simply a sign that Shukaku has never witnessed the pinnacle of power in the Shinobi World. The power of Wood Release cannot be restrained by mere sand!
Under Shukaku's incredulous gaze, the wooden man broke free from the sand sea's restraints and then punched his tanuki in the face.
"This is impossible! How could my Sand Binding Coffin have no effect at all! In that case, let's try this move: Sand Binding Seal!"
A strange Shira Cursed Seal peeled off Shukaku's body, flowed, and climbed up the sand onto the wooden doll's body, forming a series of intricate sealing patterns, attempting to seal the wooden doll Naoki Senju together.
But this was ultimately just Shukaku's fantasy. Naoki Senju's grand sealing of the One-Tail- Tailed Beast was intended to lure out the Hidden Kirigakure Ninja lurking in the shadows. Since the Kirigakure Ninja did not take the bait, the battle could end there.
Before the sealing array could be completed, Naoki Senju leaped up from the top of the wooden dummy's head and Hand Seals in mid-air.
" Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."
A Wood Dragon covered in sharp spikes descended from the sky and tightly bound Shukaku, its grip tightening until all of Shukaku's resistance was futile.
"You despicable human being! You are despicable!"
"Hehe, think what you want. Or maybe you should tell your neighbor beforehand?"
Naoki Senju released a wisp of the Three-Tails 'Chakra, causing Shukaku's struggles to weaken. The Wood Dragon took the opportunity to tighten its grip even further, continuously absorbing Shukaku's Chakra.
After most of Shukaku's Chakra was drained, it fell into its weakest state, unable to resist the sealing power, and its size was getting smaller and smaller, which was a sign that it was about to be sealed again.
"Heh, I never thought I'd be saved by this seal one day. You despicable human, Shukaku, will not let you get away with this."
"Trying to escape back to the seal? Do you really think such a thing is possible?"
Naoki Senju found the unconscious Gaara, spread his five fingers, and unleashed a burst of intense Chakra from each of his fingers.
" Five Elements Seal - Released!"
Although Sunagakure uses a composite sealing formation, and there is no way to break the seal in a short time, the principle of the Five Elements Seal Release is the simplest and most brutal. If it cannot be broken in one attempt, then try again and again to continuously wear down the power of the Sealing Jutsu. Sooner or later, a crack will be able to be made in the seal.
Naoki Senju pressed his five fingers against Gaara's abdomen, the scorching Chakra burning Gaara's skin with a hissing sound and emitting a foul-smelling white smoke.
"If once isn't enough, then let's try a few more times!"
Gaara's abdomen was covered with several more scars. After the third Five Elements Seal Release, Shukaku's Chakra burst forth from Gaara's body. This time, Shukaku was truly free. Although Shukaku's feelings were very complicated, from this moment on, Shukaku finally regained the freedom he had lost for a hundred years.
After leaving Gaara's body, Shukaku immediately tried to escape, but crashed into the barrier. The scorching purple flames of the Four Violet Flames Formation forced Shukaku to abandon his escape plan.
" Naoki, is this the One-Tail? Why is it so small?"
Tsunade, who arrived with the Sealing Squad, looked at Shukaku height had shrunk to only three meters, and asked the question that had puzzled everyone.
Although a height of three meters is considered enormous compared to a ninja, the One-Tail Tailed Beast, and a height of three meters is actually quite small.
" Her Chakra was overdrawn and then drained by the Wood Dragon, but it can be recovered later. Sister Tsunade has no interest in becoming the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"
"Forget it, I don't want such an ugly Tailed Beast living inside my body." Tsunade casually. Although the Tailed Beast's endless Chakra was a good match for her Yin Seal, Tsunade instinctively rejected becoming Jinchūriki.
ugly!!!
Shukaku seemed to hear its own heart breaking. It was definitely prettier than that stinky fox; was it really ugly?
