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

Chiba smiled slightly.

The main body has already encountered the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

but.

Something very interesting is happening over there.

The group from Sunagakure were leading Fu away to a secluded place in a retreating manner.

Chapter 317 Violet: I feel like I'm living in Chiba's shadow

"Don't run away, I just want to make friends with you. I heard there's a guy named Gaara in your village. Where is his squad now?"

Fu chased after her.

The trio ahead exchanged a glance, then silently moved forward—

This Seven-Tails Jinchuriki has something wrong with his head.

"It should be about the same now."

"Ah."

The three turned around and looked at Fu behind them. Then one of them, dressed as a monk, took out two chains.

Fu sensed something was wrong and looked back to find that she had fallen quite a distance from her teammates. She immediately took off running, but at that moment, the other two Sand Village ninjas rushed up.

call out!

The two threw kunai at each other.

If Yae dies, then they'll be in real danger.

Fu was secretly anxious.

Without ninja tools and sealing techniques, even with the help of the outside team, the two of them could not defeat a Jinchuriki.

It’s over.

She died.

This chain is merely a "technique" formed from chakra, not actual matter. Although they stabilized the chakra, they couldn't possibly pull Yae up from below.

Fu secretly regretted it.

Her last hope was gone.

???

"Hehe, I advise you to save your energy."

"Hold on, we'll be right down."

and.

If all chakra is drained...

Apart from the monk maintaining the spell, the other two stopped attacking Fu and instead used ninjutsu to create a sandstorm that covered all the footprints they had left along the way.

however.

"Ah."

Immediately afterwards, two chains swiftly pierced through the smoke and adhered to Fu's body. In an instant, all of Fu's chakra was absorbed by them.

Her chakra was rapidly draining away, especially the portion belonging to the tailed beast.

She wanted to find Gaara, have a good chat with him, learn how the Jinchuriki of other villages live, and maybe even make some friends. But before she could even make a move, he attacked her first.

A hint of joy flashed across their faces.

The two chains continuously drained Fu's chakra, and also had a sealing effect, rendering Fu unable to move and only able to stay in place and watch them.

"I'm fine, I can manage, it's just some ants..."

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find Gaara.

A plume of smoke drifted out from inside.

The two talked, their hopes for the future shining brightly.

“You guys…”

Just then, a scream suddenly came from behind.

"Hachie?!"

These three seem to be able to control their tailed beast chakra.

They rushed over and saw a vortex of quicksand appear where Yae had been standing; Yae was quickly swallowed up by this quicksand.

It seems her teammates encountered another squad!

There were no enemies here, and the Taki ninja were kept out by their teammates.

"I didn't expect it to be so successful. Now that we have her chakra, we can proceed with our plans and use the Seven-Tails' chakra to absorb Gaara with complete confidence."

Fu dared not take the hit head-on and quickly dodged, but...

They turned around abruptly, but could not see the monks; only a chain remained, embedded in the sand.

As their chakra gradually decreased, smiles appeared on the faces of the three Sunagakure ninjas.

They immediately grabbed the chains.

How can it be!

How to do?

Fu was filled with regret, but at that moment, she sensed the sounds of battle coming from a distant place.

however.

As long as the chains continue to seal the chakra, Fu's death is only a matter of time.

"it is good."

Yae's voice came from below again.

At this moment, Yae was no longer able to respond to them; in fact, his words were being transmitted through Chiba's mental manipulation.

underground.

Chiba looked up at Hachie.

"So you do have spells in your head after all. You're loyal to Sasori, aren't you? He ordered you to capture Gaara?"

"No, I can't..."

"Never mind, I don't need your cooperation anyway."

The Sharingan's ninja tools instantly rotated their tomoe.

Even without the help of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Chiba's mental strength was enough to control Yae's mind and easily obtain her memories, even with ordinary genjutsu.

soon.

Chiba frowned.

He couldn't find any trace of being controlled by Scorpion in the other person's memory, but after searching his mind, he quickly found a clue in his memory.

There's no problem with Hachie.

The problem lies with another ninja, who didn't directly participate this time but instead claimed he was going to deal with Gaara, leaving them to search for and ambush the Seven-Tails here.

Did Scorpion control that guy?

so.

Sasori has been making a lot of moves in Sunagakure recently.

Is the Akatsuki about to make its move?

Chiba picked up the chain to absorb the tailed beast's chakra, while simultaneously absorbing Hachie's tailed beast chakra, and pondered the Akatsuki's movements.

The scorpion begins its operation...

The Akatsuki organization may also be getting impatient.

Especially Black Zetsu and Obito.

If Obito and Pain were to invade Konoha together, the current Konoha might not be able to withstand it, especially since Naruto hasn't grown up yet.

Although I have some strength, I can only fight against one of them at most.

Unless Nagato is found beforehand.

but.

Nagato's current strength remains an unknown.

"I hope Jiraiya can step up his game, otherwise even if he can help hold off Pain, I'll be too busy with Obito to find Nagato's true location."

As for Kakashi and the others...

With their current strength, defeating Nagato himself plus Konan might still be difficult, and they need to make further efforts.

of course.

Might Guy could definitely open the Eight Gates; even Madara would be hesitant in that state, let alone the crippled Nagato. However, unless absolutely necessary, Might Guy should not use the Eight Gates.

After Chiba took over, both sides absorbed the tailed beast chakra together without any difficulty.

The one who touched me the most wasn't Hachie, but...

芙。

She immediately noticed that the suction at the end of the chain had become even more terrifying.

If it was just a whirlpool before, the suction force now is like a giant beast spitting out waves from the bottom of the sea, trying to swallow her whole.

In a blink of an eye——

She had less than half of her chakra left.
