The sunagakure camp that had been razed to the ground was in a state of disarray.

There are traces of Shukaku's brutality everywhere, and the entire forest has been turned into desolation, and it is no longer clear what the original camp looked like.

In the air that was once a camp but is now a wasteland, Shukaku's cold chakra still remains, and the pressure has not disappeared from here.

Where Shukaku was standing before, there is now a ninja wearing a black coat.

This person is the current leader of the Sunagakure Ninja Village, and the most outstanding and powerful ninja in the Sunagakure Ninja Village - the Third Kazekage.

On the barren land, black sand and dust were scattered. He looked at a unconscious monk lying on the ground next to him.

The skin of the monk's body was burned, but his vitality recovered at an abnormal speed.

Even to him, the Third Kazekage, it was an extremely surprising scene.

"If it were an ordinary Jinchuuriki, he would have died long ago... What a tenacious guy."

He muttered something to himself.

Shukaku is the tailed beast that Sunagakure Ninja Village has had since ancient times.

However, because the power of the tailed beast is too great, for ordinary ninjas, just looking at it from a distance, let alone getting close, will feel fear from the soul.

Therefore, it is necessary to seal the tailed beast in a human body using sealing techniques, treat this human being as a sacrificial Jinchuuriki, seal up the power of the tailed beast, and use it when necessary.

And this monk is the Shukaku Jinchuuriki of their Sunagakure Village.

"Kazekage-sama!"

A large group of Sand Ninjas rushed here. At a rough count, there were four to five hundred people, all of whom were elite ninjas from Sand Hidden Village.

One of the Jonin came up and saw that the Jinchuuriki was in good condition. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the leader of the Third Kazekage with admiration and respect.

The Third Kazekage nodded to these Sand Ninjas.

"As expected of Kazekage-sama, Shukaku should be able to settle down for a while now."

Regarding this Jonin's judgment, the Third Kazekage shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? This guy Fenfu still refuses to cooperate. If this guy is willing to cooperate, I will not use other methods to stimulate Shukaku.

Already."

Fenfu is the name of this monk.

As a Jinchuuriki, he has a very good relationship with Shukaku, the tailed beast sealed within his body. Therefore, Shukaku has been sealed very stably over the years.

But there are also problems.

He is compassionate and compassionate, and is a Jinchuuriki who doesn't like fighting.

For this reason, in the past when the Second Kazekage Samana ruled Sunagakure, in order to militarize Shukaku's power, the Second Kazekage imprisoned Bunfuku, studied the power of Shukaku in his body, and developed a series of magnets.

Escape ninjutsu.

Even so, Fenfu did not surrender to the Second Kazekage.

After the Second Kazekage Salmon passed away, his disciple, the Third Kazekage, succeeded to the throne. Naturally, he inherited the will of the previous Kazekage and thought about how to militarize the tailed beasts.

This time it was an attempt to use the power of the tailed beasts to catch Konoha off guard and take advantage of the rich resources of the Land of Fire.

However, the effect was not very good. Due to Fenfu's lack of cooperation, Shukaku's mood has been very unstable recently. If he had not sensed that there was a problem with the sealing technique, he would not have rushed here immediately to seal the rampaging Shukaku back.

In the jinchuriki's body.

"What should we do next, Kazekage-sama?"

the jounin asked.

"Ignore the jinchūriki's issues, there is always a way to get this stubborn guy like Fenfu to cooperate. But what's going on when Konoha ninjas show up here?"

It didn't take much effort to suppress Shukaku, after all, his ninjutsu was developed for this purpose.

Compared to the fact that Shukaku's location was exposed, the Konoha ninjas suddenly attacked here. The Third Kazekage believed that this was the key point.

Sending the tailed beasts to the battlefield must be done secretly, so that the Konoha ninja can be defeated with lightning speed and invade the heart of the Land of Fire.

"We didn't know that those Konoha ninjas suddenly came to attack."

The Jonin who answered also looked a little ugly.

The matter of the tailed beast should be a top priority, and there is no risk of it being leaked.

"Re-examine the personnel here thoroughly."

The Third Kazekage issued such an order.

"yes!"

The jounin nodded seriously.

At present, it is more likely that there is a mole in the village.

"By the way, how are those Konoha ninjas going to cook?"

"Don't worry, those Konoha ninjas had already detached a team to hunt them down when I came here. I believe good news will come back soon."

The Third Kazekage looked into the distance with calm eyes, full of confidence in the Suna Ninja sent out to hunt down Konoha ninjas.

The jounin nodded and carried the monk who was unconscious on the ground on his shoulders.

"Then, Lord Kazekage, I'll go down and relocate the jinchuriki first."

"Go ahead, I will increase the guard strength appropriately later. No more accidents are allowed this time."

"yes!"

◎

The country of rivers, at the bottom of the forest cliffs.

"ah!"

After stabbing the kunai into the enemy's chest, Shiraishi took a deep breath, took a step back, and then sat on the ground tiredly, clutching his side that turned blood red.

"These guys are really tough... Wind Blade?"

It was easy to leave such a deep and long bloody mouth on his body that had been strengthened by natural energy. The wind blade used by Sunagakure elite ninjas was indeed an extremely sharp ninjutsu.

Shiraishi frowned, a faint green light lingered on the palm covering his side, and he began to heal the wound.

Next to him, Liuli and Ayane were also sitting out of breath, their clothes covered with dust, and they took Bingliang Pills to restore their chakra.

Around them, there were twenty-one sand ninjas lying in a pool of blood, with kunai and shurikens scattered everywhere.

Among them, there were three jounin who led the team, and the rest were all chuunin.

For annihilating this force here, Shiraishi and the other two paid a heavy price.

Shiraishi healed the wound on his flank and touched the ninja tool bag. The contents were almost emptied, leaving only two sealed scrolls and an experimental bottle for collecting Shukaku's chakra.

"Do you still have the Bing Liang Pills?"

Using taijutsu does not consume chakra, but medical ninjutsu does require chakra, but there are no military food pills in his ninja tool bag.

Even if you use local materials to make it, you still have to take into account the sand ninja who don't know when they will attack next time.

"No more, it was the last one just now."

Ayane replied apologetically.

Liuli also shook his head. The main function of the Bing Liang Pill was to satisfy hunger and to restore chakra only for emergencies.

Even the special military food pills made by Shiraishi, the amount of chakra that can be restored is limited.

Shiraishi sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to push up his body with difficulty, and walked towards the fallen Suna ninja to see what equipment they had in their ninja tool bags that could be used.

I was lucky enough to touch the first corpse. There were still a few undamaged kunai and two detonating charms in his ninja tool bag.

Shiraishi put all these into his ninja tool bag.

Suddenly, a sand ninja who fell to the ground suddenly opened his eyes, his hand was wrapped with the sharp wind that was spinning, and he swung the wind blade towards Shiraishi's body.

Shiraishi was startled. He didn't expect there was someone pretending to be dead here.

Without thinking, he tilted his body and a few hairs fell down.

Bai Shi couldn't help but shed a trace of cold sweat on his face, and his body rolled out in embarrassment.

The sand ninja was so powerful that he showed no mercy. His whole body was stained with blood, and his face was as ferocious as a demon as he rushed towards Shiraishi.

boom!

A fireball came.

The sand ninja had no time to defend himself, so he struggled and screamed in the fire, and finally fell down powerlessly, turning into a black and charred corpse.

Liuli took a deep breath and looked even more exhausted.

That fireball just now had almost used up the last of her chakra.

If you continue to consume chakra, it will be fatal.

"Really, I can't even tell the difference between the dead and the living."

"Feel sorry."
