Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Grandson! Come here~"

Shukaku is very angry now. As a tailed beast with the highest speed, he was actually played around by a human, who also kept making various mocking gestures towards him.

"Despicable baldhead!"

The anger in his heart turned into huge air training bullets. Shukaku opened his mouth wide and sprayed them madly at the agile Shamon. The wind bullets hit the sand dunes, stirring up dust and setting off a huge sandstorm, dyeing the entire sky yellow.

"Is it really too much?"

Shamon narrowly dodged a training bullet, but his anxiety grew stronger. He had already used up most of his chakra in order to lure Shukaku away, and the yellow sand under his feet seemed to be collapsing.

"Bald, do you think my magnetic escape technique is so easy to master?"

As if sensing the weakness of the monk, Shukaku cruelly opened his mouth and shouted in a shrill voice, his tone showing an unconcealed gloating.

"Huhu."

The monk was breathing slightly, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape, he clenched his fists, and tried his best to refine the little chakra left in his body.

The only option now is to escape. I hope Mr. Yin can evacuate safely. I don’t know if Chiyo has protected them well.

"Get ready to die, baldhead!"

"Humph!"

Facing the advancing Shukaku, Shamon gritted his teeth and raised his hand. The sand beneath his feet began to stir again.
"teacher!"

At this moment, a pretty figure came running over from a distance. It was Chiyo with a worried look on her face. When she saw that Shamon was fine, she was obviously relieved, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You are not dead~"

"If you can't speak, you can donate your mouth."

The monk who was about to release the sand cage stopped supplying chakra, and the surrounding sand and soil fell silent instantly.

"Why are you here? Did Mr. Yin and the others evacuate safely?"

"I'm here to deliver equipment!"

The violent aura of Shukaku not far away brought Chiyo back to the cruel reality. She carefully opened the ninja tool bag and took out a silver card that was shining with a faint halo.
"Mr. Yin succeeded!"

Shamen was shaking with excitement. He had been waiting for this transformation card for more than ten years.

"Uncle Yin risked his life to make this for you, Teacher. Please don't let him down."

After solemnly handing the blank Tailed Beast Card to Shamon, Chiyoro showed a relieved expression on his face.
Feeling the warm breath coming from the card, Shamon burst into tears. He felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to make friends with Uchiha Gin.

"It will win."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Shamen held the Tailed Beast Card in his hand, his eyes firm and sharp,
"Teacher, let me help you too!"

Chiyo couldn't bear to watch her teacher face the ferocious tailed beast alone, so she pulled out two useless sticks and prepared to join the battle, but was stopped by Shamon.
"Don't disturb the sacred battle. Decade once said that only those who defeat the tailed beast alone can use the tailed beast card to seal the tailed beast."

Thinking back to the Knight's Guide that was deeply engraved in his mind, Shamen's blood began to boil.
If you want to bear the name of a knight, you must have the courage to face your fears alone.

"I know there is such a rule!"

Looking at the resolute face of her teacher, Chiyo slowly put down the useless stick in her hand and nodded slightly.

"Sramana! I'm here to help you!"

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded not far away, and the first-generation Kazekage Reito with gray hair came running towards them, followed closely by Ebizo who was going to inform them of the news.

"First generation sir!"

In just a blink of an eye, Reito was already standing in front of Shamen. His eyes passed over the master and apprentice and fell on Shukaku who was ready to fight.

"Didn't they say that the seal would not be broken for another half a month? What did you do?"

Even though he had already left office, Liedou still couldn't let go of his official airs. Looking at the monk he had brought up, he asked coldly,
"Master Liedou, we didn't do anything. As soon as we entered the temple gate, it ran out."

When facing his old leader, Shamen still gave him enough face and behaved like a humble student.

"Forget it, where's the tea kettle?"

Rather than the truth about Shukaku breaking the seal, Retsu now wants to know the status of the tool that seals the tailed beasts.
"My forehead is broken."

"Broken?"

"Yes, it's broken into pieces that can't be put together."

The sudden bad news made Retsu feel helpless. Their Sand Village has not yet found another container that can hold the tailed beasts. The previous research on human body seals was stopped early by Shamon, and they turned their full attention to researching transformation tools.
If they had followed the original plan, they might have figured out a way to seal the tailed beasts into human bodies by now.

"Then we can only prepare for the worst."

Lie Dou narrowed his eyes, emitting a chilling light, and his old voice was filled with cruelty.

"Shamon, let's join forces and kill Shukaku!"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together and sharp wind-attribute chakra surged up. It seemed that this old guy had not stopped practicing after retirement. It was really not easy to maintain such combat power at this age.

"Hahahaha, human, do you want to make me die of laughter? You are old, weak, sick and disabled and you still want to kill me. You really think you are a piece of cake!"

Shukaku heard the conversation between the few people clearly. After hearing Reito's words that were against Tiangang, he was so angry that he laughed. He estimated that if he put the Eight-Tails in front of this old man, that stupid cow would be blown to pieces on the spot.

"Master Reito, please let me do it."

There was an inexplicable light in Shamen's eyes, and he said to Reito who was about to attack in a very serious tone,

"What do you mean, Samana?"

Frowning his old brows, Liedou put down his hands in confusion, wanting to hear the other party's explanation.
"I want to be a knight!"

Looking at the blank Tailed Beast Card in his hand, Shamon finally released the desire that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

"Is that... that damn curly-haired guy coming?"

Reto naturally recognized the Tailed Beast Cards, and he also knew who was the only person in the Ninja World who could make Tailed Beast Cards. His haggard face instantly turned extremely dark.

During the Five Kage Summit, he was often framed by Uchiha Gin. Although the relationship between the two could not be considered as mortal enemies, they were also at odds with each other when they met.

"Well, thanks to Mr. Silver's help, I am only one step away from becoming a knight."

"Shamon, don't play around at a time like this. If you die, the backbone of the Sand Village will be broken!"

Seeing that the successor he had trained with great effort was going to fight the tailed beast alone, the usually cautious Reito naturally would not agree. After all, Shamon now carried the future of the entire village.

"Master Reito! Please believe me!"

The monk shook his head firmly. As a great man from the Kingdom of Wind, there was no reason for him to retreat in the face of battle.

"But." "Boom~"

Reito wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Shamon had already turned around, and his feet were like the wind, rushing towards Shukaku's huge body like a shiny missile.

Seeing this, Reito immediately took a step forward, ready to chase after him to help, but as soon as he raised his foot, he was blocked by Chiyo who had been waiting for a long time.
"Chiyoko, get out of the way!"

Even though he had always doted on the girl in front of him as his own granddaughter, Liedou still gave the order in a stiff tone,
"I'm sorry, Master Shodai, please don't get involved in this battle."

Knowing that her teacher's battle could not be disturbed by any external factors, Chiyo shook her head and placed two useless sticks on her chest, her eyes filled with determination.

"Hey, you two, you seem to be getting cocky, right? Ebizo, stop your sister for me."

Unexpectedly, the two people who were usually respectful to him would disobey him at such a critical moment. Liedou waved his hand with a cold face.
Ebizo, who had been standing behind him in a daze, was instantly awakened by what he said. After hearing this difficult order, he pouted and blinked helplessly at Chiyo.

Chiyo glared at her younger brother, and after seeing this horrifying look, Ebizo instantly wilted, then lowered his head, standing there motionless, as if he had ignored Reito's orders.

"He has made his choice, Mr. Shodai, so please give the teacher a little more trust, okay?"

All doubts come from the lack of firepower.

The reason why Liedou was so determined to join the battle was because he knew how powerful Shamon was.

As the second strongest ninja in the Sand Village, Shamon's strength can be said to be the top in the Wind Country, but Reito knows that he is just the tallest among the short ones.

If Shamon's strength were placed in other major countries, he might not even be ranked in the top five. It is because the overall level of the ninjas in the Wind Country itself is not high that he can stand out.

"Ah~ But your teacher's ability."

Reito looked at Chiyo standing in front of him and sighed helplessly.
"Samamon-sensei is the strongest man in the Kingdom of Wind!"

Unlike Reito who was pessimistic, Chiyo had absolute confidence in her teacher. She always believed that Shamon was the son of destiny who would lead the Sand Village to rise.

"That's all."

Looking at the light flashing in Chiyo's eyes, Reito suddenly fell silent. As expected, when people get old, they will look ahead and behind. Recalling the fearlessness of his youth, he suddenly became clear-headed.

At that time, he was not the strongest man in the Wind Kingdom, but he had never been afraid of fighting. Facing enemies stronger than himself, he still faced the challenges head-on. It was with this spirit that Reito successfully defeated one invincible enemy after another, unified the ninja world of the Wind Kingdom, and established the Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages.

"Shanmon, I hope you won't bring shame to the name of the Kazekage."

Looking at Shamon's receding back, Liedou stopped and muttered to himself, but a dazzling gleam burst out from his gray eyes.

"Bald guy, are you here to die?"

Shukaku touched his head in confusion. Was there something wrong with the monk in front of him? How dare he rush over to find him alone? Was he thinking he would die?

"Shukaku, from now on, I will go all out and fight you in a fair 1v1 man battle."

Standing in front of Shukaku's huge body, Shamon was as small as a grain of reflective sand. However, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he was filled with a strong will to fight. The blue dragon tattooed on his face also faintly glowed as his emotions rose.

"1V1? Are you crazy? How dare you challenge me in a one-on-one duel?"

In its entire life, it has never seen such an arrogant human being. Of course, it was all thanks to the protection of the tea cane that Shukaku escaped the Tailed Beast Capture Competition that year. He has never experienced the beatings from the wooden men or Gundams firsthand, so he can be so arrogant.

"Sandstorm Burial!"

The monk ignored Shukaku's foul mouth and slapped his hands on the ground, causing the calm sand dunes to explode like boiling water.

The battle declaration has been made, and now it’s just a matter of fighting.

"Are you serious?"

Feeling the sand under his feet suddenly become extremely soft, Shukaku's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief,
"Keep touching Tatakai!"

Working hard to control the vast desert, beads of sweat oozed from Shamon's shiny bald head, wetting the blue dragon on his face. Ordinary wind escape could not cause any harm to Shukaku. His only trump card now was magnetic escape.
"Damn it! Hand of Sand!"

Due to its own weight, Shukaku sank very quickly, and in the blink of an eye half of its body was buried in the ground. It was so angry that it raised its claws, and the floating sand and gravel instantly turned into several sharp claws, grabbing towards the sand monk on the ground.

"Sand Shield!"

If he dodged, the sandstorm would be interrupted. Facing the ferocious claws, Shamen gritted his teeth and silently used the sand shield to defend. A thick sand shield appeared out of thin air and blocked him.

Bang!
Bang! !

Bang! ! !
The explosions became duller and duller, and Shamon felt that his limited chakra was rapidly dissipating. However, the only way now was to restrict Shukaku's movements so that he could use his one-hit-kill jutsu and complete this battle of the weak against the strong.

"Humph! You think you can trap me like this? That's just wishful thinking!"

After struggling in the soft and sticky sand for a long time, Shukaku snorted coldly, opened his smelly mouth, and a black ball of light gradually condensed.

"Ah! It's the Tailed Beast Ball!"

The people who were watching the fight saw the black ball of light emitting terrifying energy from Shukaku's mouth, and their hearts immediately rose to their throats. If Shamon was hit head-on by this move, even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough to die.

"Human, say hello to the old man for me!"

The Tailed Beast Jade is ready, and Shukaku's eyes are full of satisfaction. Although its Tailed Beast Jade is the lowest in purity among all the tailed beasts, it is still a Tailed Beast Jade, isn't it?

Zi La~ Zi La~
The black Tailed Beast Ball was about to come out of his mouth. Feeling the threat of death, Shamen was madly secreting adrenaline. Recalling the Hand of Sand that Shukaku had just used, he raised one hand and frantically constructed in his mind,

Trace on?

"Huh? That's on the teacher's head."

Chiyo, who was filled with worry, stared at the huge wrist that appeared in the sky with wide eyes, and exclaimed while covering her mouth.

"Um, my hands are on my body?"

Shukaku also saw the huge wrist, with the Tailed Beast Ball hanging in his mouth, and took the time to look at his hands, and found that they were both intact.

So whose is that big hand that appeared out of nowhere?

"The strange wrist of sand!"

"Snapped!"

Just as Shukaku was puzzled, a big hand that looked exactly like its arm was raised high, and with lightning speed, it slapped down hard. The huge sound of the slap suddenly resounded through the sky.

"boom!"

The Tailed Beast Ball, which had not yet been spit out, exploded in front of the confused Shukaku's mouth. The destructive power it produced could be clearly felt even from several miles away.

When the smoke cleared, Shukaku, whose face was completely disfigured, remained in the same position as after being slapped, as if he had lost his soul.
After a long while, Shukaku slowly turned his head, his two copper-coin-like pupils stared at Shamon, and there was a hint of grievance in his trembling voice.

"Even the old man never hit me!"

Ps: It is indeed a legendary banned drug, the side effects are so terrible, my whole body aches as if I was played with by gays for seven days and seven nights, I can't stand it anymore! (End of this chapter)
