Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Chiba revealed his purpose.

Shukaku opened its mouth; it was very excited, but also very scared.

After much deliberation...

Shukaku gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree! At worst, I'll just die. Being free is always better than being locked inside someone's body!"

Chapter 209 Is this Shukaku? Isn't it a pet?

Shukaku isn't afraid of death.

It just felt...

Even if the clone's consciousness is altered, at least the original body remains unaffected. But what if the organization that the other party mentioned has designs on the Tailed Beasts also has a way to kill them?

Having an extra clone means having more options.

At least it won't get any worse.

Although Shukaku was hot-tempered and arrogant, after being beaten by Chiba, it gradually calmed down and realized which choice was more beneficial to it.

This is consistent with Chiba's usual style.

Only after Shukaku has made his choice can he begin his actions.

"Then let's go somewhere else. It's not very convenient here. By the way, if I take half of you away, will he be able to sense it?"

Chiba took Gaara and set off for the Forest of Death.

however.

The aura just now must have been deliberately released by Chiba.

A small Shukaku is forming!

He stopped abruptly.

follow closely--

Then, he saw a horrifying scene—

Although his clones were freed, his main body seemed to have fallen into an even more terrifying abyss, and he would no longer have the little pleasure of interfering with Gaara.

Chiba led Gaara out safely and arrived at the Forest of Death, where, under the watchful eyes of the insects and Kimimaro, they broke the seal on part of Shukaku.

What this gentleman said...

He traveled alone through the mountains for three days to reach Chiba.

When Shukaku comes out, it makes quite a commotion.

He imagined the scene where the other party subdued Gaara and then used some means to force Gaara back from his Shukaku transformation.

"what happened?"

Why did Gaara go to the Forest of Death?

Back in the village, Tsunade and the Third Hokage probably thought the whole thing had gone berserk and that they'd have to put the whole village on alert, and then they'd have to pay compensation later.

Even Shukaku should be no problem at all!

"It's Shukaku!"

The leader of the Yamanaka family's group was the Jonin Yamanaka Santen.

After much deliberation, Shouhe felt he had dug a hole for himself.

Even though Chiba had set up an isolation barrier, the immense chakra aura still alerted the surrounding guards, and within moments, a squad arrived first.

It comforted itself.

This is……

After a long while, Shukaku sighed, "Alright, alright."

"Lord Santian, this aura..."

It was speechless for a moment.

Then, he formed a mudra with his hands and placed them on Gaara's abdomen.

The rest of the Yamanaka family were unaware of the situation, but since the Jonin had said so, they had no choice but to obey.

Rasa and Chiyo are not so easy to deal with.

Naruto hasn't returned yet.

At least halfway through, right?

Isn't this a restricted area?!

For three days, he ran through the mountains, using his senses as he went, and a wave of panic washed over him.

Shukaku grinned: "The tailed beasts have a huge amount of chakra, and in their sealed state, they can't accurately sense my chakra at all."

One by one, the tailed beast chakra was gradually extracted from Gaara's body by Chiba. With Shukaku's assistance, his actions were very simple and there was no resistance at all.

After three days of contemplation in the mountains, he finally persuaded the rest of the tribe to return home.

"?"

"Well, it should be safe up ahead. You don't need to go over there yet. I'll go check it out by myself."

Chiba pointed at Gaara, but more so at Sunagakure.

What about the dark side?

What are they all doing!

He didn't understand for three days in the mountains, but soon he sensed another aura.

"Then there's no problem. I can apply some simple seals to you."

not only that.

"Shrink a little, do you want the whole of Konoha to know you're out?"

"Aww! This grandpa..."

"Ok?"

"I will obey your command."

???

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets after three days in the mountains.

This……

Is this creature that looks like a raccoon dog really Shukaku?

What the hell!

Why are you so well-behaved?

Isn't it a tailed beast?

The three days in the mountains were incredibly shocking and incomprehensible, leaving him completely stunned.

Then, Shukaku looked over, a hint of violence and killing intent flashing in his eyes.

After three days in the mountains, he trembled all over.

No problem.

genuine!

He took a deep breath, his admiration for Chiba growing even stronger.

Even the tailed beasts are so obedient, which shows how terrifying Chiba's strength is. No wonder Lord Chiba dared to release Shukaku.

"Lord Chiba."

"Senior Three Days, don't worry, it's just a small experiment. Also, its activity range is limited to this area. If it goes to other places, my clone and parasitic insects will take action."

"Yes!"

After three days in the mountains, he nodded in agreement, but then his face showed hesitation and indecision.

Chiba smiled slightly: "Just tell the Third Hokage and Lady Tsunade what you need to say, there's no need to hide anything from me."

"Please forgive me, although I am a member of the research department and the guard team, I am also a member of the dark side and the intelligence department, so this is my duty."

I felt extremely ashamed after spending three days in the mountains.

Chiba had nothing to say to the Yamanaka family and the others; he had given them almost everything he was entitled to. It was hard for him to betray them.

but.

Without notifying the village...

That's a tailed beast!

They are the most terrifying beings in any village. Moreover, how will Sunagakure explain Chiba's extraction of the Tailed Beast?

All of these need to be prepared in advance.

"By the way, this Shukaku only has half of my chakra. I just used a secret technique to separate them, and Shukaku itself agreed and was willing to cooperate with me."

Chiba nudged Shukaku, making a squeak.

"Yes, I'm willing to cooperate with you, so you don't need to watch me like I'm a criminal all day long. That makes me very unhappy!"

Shukaku roared.

but.

It's quite small now and doesn't roar loudly, so it doesn't seem fierce at all; instead, it's kind of adorable.

For three days in the mountains, I repeatedly reminded myself—

This is a tailed beast! This is a tailed beast!

Even though it behaves like a pet in front of Chiba, it becomes a true tailed beast when Chiba is not around.
