Boom—
A massive stone pillar covered with numerous intricate seals descended from the sky with a resounding crash!
It accurately struck the head of the One-Tail Shukaku, which was entangled in bandages!
"Thunk!" A sound!
The body of the One-Tail Shukaku was pinned beneath the colossal stone pillar!
"Roar! It hurts! Damn brat! I'll kill you!!"
The One-Tail Shukaku, bound by countless bandages, roared in agony!
It writhed its massive body, and even as it swung its tail, it tore through many bandages. But it was firmly suppressed, unable to break free!
"You foolish creature, are these arrogant words an attempt to mask your weakness?" Sōsuke's dispassionate words slowly dropped.
And not far away!
Saki's expression was excited, full of reverence, as he looked at Sōsuke. His eyes were almost uncontrollably fervent.
At his side, Shino's face was filled with shock as he watched Sōsuke easily suppressing the One-Tail Shukaku. In his eyes, there was an air of disbelief.
He couldn't help but recall a sentence Sōsuke had once said to him.
"I've been looking forward to your earnest effort, Shino..."
Those magnetic words echoed in his mind for a long time.
This kind of Sōsuke... Can I really handle it....
In this moment, Shino began to doubt his own thoughts.
On the battlefield.
The furious voice of the Shukaku continued to roar!
Sōsuke walked slowly up to it. The massive head of the Shukaku was firmly pinned to the ground by the stone pillar. Its beast eyes, several times larger than Sōsuke's, stared fixedly at him.
Exhale—
It panted, every breath causing strong gusts of air.
Standing before it, Sōsuke looked at it coldly and said slowly,
"This version of you... truly disappoints me... Is this what's known as a Tailed Beast...?"
"By doing so, I find myself disappointed in the so-called sacred places and the origins of the ninja world.... It's truly... too weak...."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, the Shukaku bared its fangs, its eyes glaring at him in intense anger!
The rage in its beast eyes seemed enough to consume Sōsuke.
Sōsuke gazed at its fierce face and suddenly chuckled.
"Exactly, just like this. Do you look angry? This appearance is quite remarkable. Let me see, how can such fragile beings bear the name of legends?"
Sōsuke seemed to be provoking the Shukaku's emotions, his voice gentle.
However, every word he spoke cut deep!
It almost pushed the Shukaku to the peak of fury!
"Damn humans! Damn you humans! I'll kill you all!"
Boom—
A sudden surge of intense chakra burst from its body!
The immense chakra almost materialized, swirling around it like sharp wind blades!
"Hiss!" "Hiss!" "Hiss!"...
The bandages entwined around the Shukaku's body were quickly sliced by the wind blades swirling around it!
Its hands broke free!
It pushed off the ground, its head, pinned by the stone pillar, slightly lifted.
And then, it suddenly opened its enormous mouth!
Its fiery yellow-red beast eyes were fixed firmly on Sōsuke before it, filled with unparalleled brutality!
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
A colossal air cannon with a diameter of several meters bombarded continuously toward Sōsuke's position!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The already fragmented ground was now blasted into a huge pit several tens of meters wide by the continuous bombardment!
The entire Wind Altar was shaking violently!
At the moment when the One-Tail Shukaku was ruthlessly wreaking havoc at the altar!
Meanwhile, outside the Wind Altar...
In the midst of this vast desert, within a rare forest...
A group of Sand Shinobi was rushing towards this place at high speed!
The leading Sand Shinobi, Yoruichi, felt the intense tremors of the earth!
Startled, she looked up towards the Wind Altar!
Even from afar, through the distant sky, one could see the billowing dust and unending waves of energy rolling above the Wind Altar.
"What's that?!"
Beside her, another Sand Shinobi exclaimed in shock.
Yoruichi's expression grew solemn as she murmured to herself.
"It must be a problem with the Jinchuriki... Shukaku... it might have broken free..."
"Let's go! No matter what, we can't allow the Shukaku to continue its rampage!"
Hearing her words, the other Sand Shinobi nodded with heavy expressions.
....
Inside the Wind Altar at this moment...
The Shukaku had broken free from Sōsuke's restraint!
Its eyes seemed somewhat deranged, and its words were no longer coherent!
As if a mixture of something, it was extremely brutal!
"...come... out! You... brat... get out here!! Roar!!"
A furious roar echoed throughout the area!
"Thump!"
Its tail swept violently, once again shattering several pillars in the plaza!
Amidst the swirling sand and stones, mixed in the violent hurricane around it, it seemed to have formed a natural defense barrier!
However, Sōsuke and his companions stood unharmed in a concealed corner!
Just now, the massive "Rensōdan" that the Shukaku had continuously spat out had all struck empty ground!
Under complete hypnosis!
Sōsuke controlled all of the Shukaku's perceptions!
He was virtually invulnerable!
In the secure area, Sōsuke looked at the raging One-Tail Shukaku, a faint smile on his face.
A glint passed through his eyes as he whispered softly.
"Truly deserving of being creatures favored by the heavens, to possess such immense chakra..."
"This kind of power is truly exhilarating, as if it's endless, boundless."
Beside him, Shino and Saki also looked at the rampaging One-Tail Shukaku with serious expressions.
At this moment...
Sōsuke slowly turned around and said in a soft voice.
"Let's go, our objective for this trip has been perfectly achieved."
Hearing his words, Shino was slightly puzzled and asked.
"Did we come here just to release the Shukaku's seal?"
Sōsuke glanced at him, a faint smile on his lips.
"For me, the war between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village shouldn't involve the intrusion of entities that disrupt the rules, be it the Sand Village or the Stone Village."
"This war shouldn't end so soon. The existence of Jinchuriki is certain to tip the balance of this terrible war. Therefore, I came here personally to destroy the Sand Village's research."
With that, Sōsuke smiled faintly and looked once again at the rampaging One-Tail Shukaku nearby!
Upon hearing Sōsuke's words, both of them trembled slightly!
They couldn't imagine the scale of devastation that this seemingly inexhaustible force of a monster could cause on the battlefield!
But a glint passed through the lenses of Sōsuke's glasses.
This observation was quite successful... the power of the One-Tail Shukaku is indeed terrifying... is this... just a portion of what it can unleash...
The power of the Tailed Beasts... is truly a natural treasure...
Just then!
Amidst Sōsuke's observation, a group of Sand Shinobi arrived.
Observing their arrival from the shadows, Sōsuke's lips curled up slightly as he murmured.
"Before leaving, let's prepare a gift for all the Sand Shinobi..."
He gently looked towards the rampaging Shukaku in the field, a smile in his eyes. Raising his hand slightly, he aimed his palm at the massive body of the Shukaku!
"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and
become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!"
As he chanted softly, intense lightning gathered on his palm!
Shino beside him felt the intense energy and watched this scene in shock!
"Hadō 63: Raikōhō!"
As the soft chant ended!
A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly slashed through the sky, striking the enormous Shukaku with immense force!
Boom—
With a heavy thud, the Shukaku was knocked to the ground by the powerful Raikōhō!
"Roar!!"
"Damn it! I'll definitely... kill... you!!"
Its eyes, filled with rage, scanned the surroundings, its howls seething with fury!
At this moment!
Its furious eyes fell upon the arriving group of Sand Shinobi!
"Damn it! All of you can go to hell!"
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Cannon!!"
"Captain!"
"Get out of the way!"
Boom—
Amidst the deafening explosion, three figures slowly disappeared from this land of yellow sand.
Only the rampaging Shukaku remained.
