I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"It's not your fault, it's just that Shukaku is a troublesome guy."

Naruto, being quite understanding, comforted Gamaken, "It's alright, let's fight again! I believe you can do it!"

His personality of treating everyone as a friend is very popular.

Gamaken nodded, moved. "I am truly touched that someone as foolish as me has received such praise from Lord Naruto!"

"Okay! Let's do it again!"

Gamaken raised his gun and shield and pounced on Shukaku again.

This time, Shukaku was not so lucky. After Gamabunta steadily blocked Shukaku's attack, the harpoon in its hand pierced Shukaku's abdomen.

puff

The harpoon pierced straight through Shukaku's abdomen, creating a large hole.

In his agonizing rage, Shukaku actually broke Gamaken's harpoon.

After interrupting Gamaken's harpoon, Shukaku went berserk and charged at Gamaken, knocking him off his feet.

The surrounding yellow sand scattered and kept gathering to fill the large hole in Shukaku's abdomen. Shukaku pounced on Gamaken and pinned it to the ground, tearing it apart.

"not good!"

"Help Naruto!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Shikamaru shouted to the other Konoha members around him, "Throw anything you can at Shukaku with ranged attacks!"

For a moment, the twelve young heroes were all in a dilemma.

Apart from a few individuals with ranged abilities, the rest of the main characters are only genin and have relatively few skills.

If we're talking about ranged attacks, the only weapons available are kunai and shuriken. However, these weapons are less effective against Shukaku's massive size and his skin covered in sand than mosquito bites.

Kunai and shuriken couldn't even pierce Shukaku's yellow sand, let alone touch Shukaku's skin, let alone attract the attention of the crazed Shukaku.

When everyone was at a loss, Sasuke stepped forward.

"I come!"

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Naruto has prepared a trump card, how could I not?"

"Kakashi may not be good at much else, but he knows a lot of ninjutsu!"

"Heavenly Curse Seal! Activate!"

Before anyone else could react, Sasuke jumped onto a tree and charged toward Shukaku.

Sasuke's cheeks began to be covered with runes of the Heavenly Curse Seal. After Orochimaru's modifications, those runes no longer eroded Sasuke's mind; instead, they greatly enhanced Sasuke's abilities.

"Sasuke! Don't be impulsive!"

Shikamaru reached out his hand to Sasuke, watching him rush towards Shukaku with a troubled expression.

Good grief, what kind of people are in this team?

Are they all troublemakers?

It's one thing for Naruto to be able to summon such a Kage-level monster; after all, he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, he can always do some incredible things.

What can you, an orphan of the Uchiha clan, do?

Sasuke rushed up behind Shukaku and aimed at it...

Uh……

Piba formed hand seals and unleashed the most classic Konoha-style ninjutsu—

Fire escape!

Magnificent fireball technique!

Anyone who has wrong thoughts should go to face the wall!

Hula

Just like in the Chunin Exams, a fireball the size of a lake was launched at Shukaku.

"A single fireball won't be effective, Sasuke!"

Shikamaru shouted at Sasuke, who snorted coldly.

"Who said I only have Fireball Jutsu?"

"Wind Release! Ultimate Breakthrough!"

He took a deep breath and exhaled a hurricane-like attack at the Fireball.

The Great Breakthrough Wind Release ninjutsu was actually passed down from Orochimaru to Chiaki, and then from Chiaki to Kakashi.

Kakashi, believing that geniuses should learn as much as possible, taught Sasuke most of the commonly used ninjutsu.

Sasuke lived up to expectations and lived up to his reputation as a genius, directly learning the ninjutsu that Kakashi taught him.

Well, even if he can't learn it, Sasuke can use his Sharingan to learn it.

After a major breakthrough, it rushed ahead and arrived below the Fireball, dragging the Fireball directly towards Shukaku.

"Combination Ninjutsu, Firestorm!"

Sasuke murmured, and as his words fell, he unleashed a powerful fireball, causing a massive firestorm to explode around Shukaku, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Shukaku, having been attacked, let out another miserable howl, stood up, and looked back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gamaken jumped up and knocked Shukaku away, then turned around and landed behind with Naruto.

"I'm so sorry, I was so stupid!"

Gamaken said apologetically to Naruto, "It seems we have no choice but to use that method, Naruto-sama."

"No problem, let's go!"

Naruto exchanged a glance with Sasuke from afar, clenched his fist at Shukaku, and said to Gamaken, "Come on! Transform!"

"Kyuubi!"

Chapter 652 It Still Has to Be You

As the wind rose and clouds surged, a massive amount of chakra erupted from Naruto's body. No one could explain why such a small body could contain so much chakra.

Naruto was enveloped in dark red chakra, his hands clasped together, his expression ferocious.

Shukaku, who was still frantically preparing to attack Sasuke, was startled and turned around after sensing the chakra emanating from Naruto.

It screamed in terror, "Nine-Tails! You bastard! You actually want to attack me?"

Dididi

[The cutest Shukaku: Is nobody going to do anything about this?!]

[The cutest Shukaku: Kurama has gone crazy and is going to hit me!]

Shukaku's voice rang out in the Tailed Beasts chat group. It was barking and making a fuss in the chat group, but no one paid any attention to it in the chat group, which had been relatively quiet lately.

There's nothing we can do. Nobody's online in the group. Everyone's either sleeping inside the Jinchūriki's stomach or sealed up and unable to move. The only ones making any noise are the Eight-Tails Gyūki, who's living peacefully with the Jinchūriki, and the Nine-Tails Kurama, which's beyond the sealing limits but we're too lazy to bother with.

Seeing the Tailed Beasts chat group disappear without a trace, Shukaku angrily opened a private chat.

[The cutest Shukaku: Beep beep beep!]

[The cutest Shukaku: Kurama! Kurama! Kurama!]

[The most ferocious and evil Nine Lamas: Who are you calling an idiot?!]

[The cutest Shukaku: You idiot are insulting me, la la la~]

Kurama, nestled inside Naruto's stomach, rolled its eyes, feeling there was nothing to talk about with this idiot.

[The cutest Shukaku: Kurama, what do you want to do? Want to fight me?]

[The most ferocious and evil Kurama: It was Naruto who hit you, not me, so what does it have to do with me?]

[The cutest Shukaku: You're talking nonsense! Look outside! Those nine arrogant tails, that evil chakra flying everywhere—who else could it be but you?]

Shukaku was furious. "Look, look! The thing Naruto is standing on is the Nine-Tails!"

You still say it wasn't you!

[The most ferocious and evil Kurama: What does the Nine-Tails that Naruto is standing on have to do with me, Kurama?]

[The most ferocious and evil Kurama: If you're looking for something, go find the Nine-Tailed Fox, don't look for me, Kurama.]

Exactly, what does your arrest of Lu Xun have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?

Shukaku was stunned. What he said made sense. The one in front of him wasn't Kurama's true form, but just the Nine-Tails that had been transformed using his chakra. So what did it have to do with Kurama?

If you're going to criticize someone, you should criticize the Jinchūriki who "forcibly" used Kurama's chakra!

Naruto: ??? I'm so stupid, this chakra was provided to me by Kurama himself!

Shukaku didn't care about all that. After figuring out the cause and effect, he immediately started swearing at Naruto and the Nine-Tails that Gamabunta had transformed into, using extremely vulgar language.

"You beep beep beep beep beep!"

"Beep—eat beep—beep—!!!"

"?"

Gamaken, who had transformed into the Nine-Tails, was completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand why the Shukaku on the other side was experiencing such a dramatic emotional fluctuation.

Naruto had absolutely no idea what Shukaku was cursing.

After venting his anger on Kurama, Shukaku felt much better.

Well, it wouldn't dare to spew such insults in front of Kurama, but it's a different story when facing Gamaken transformed into the Nine-Tails.

I must say, it was really satisfying to yell at them.

Even though I know it's fake, the pleasure of cursing it out remains unchanged.

You've been bullying me all this time! As the lowest-ranking and most mischievous of the tailed beasts, Shukaku has been bullied by the fierce Kurama countless times.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone is immortal and they grew up together, Shukaku would have gotten used to being bullied. Otherwise, he would have given Kurama a few good beatings to show it who's the boss!

The main problem is that we can't beat them. If we could, Shukaku wouldn't have had so many problems.
