Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

"Die, you brat!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Lu Shi chuckled softly as his shadow smoothly touched Yekura's shadow.

"Stand up!"

The shadow warrior belonging to Yekura stood in front of Shikatoki and directly blocked the fireball.

The shadow was killed.

Just as Yecang was about to press his advantage, he felt a heavy blow to his abdomen, and then his vision blurred as he fell into an illusion.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shikatoki instantly appeared beside Yekura.

"Checkmate!"

"Flying needles!"

"Deer, under your feet!" Hinata shouted a reminder.

A wooden puppet suddenly burst out of the yellow sand, shooting a barrage of poisonous needles at the deer.

Yekura's shadow reappeared, blocking the poison needle for Shiro.

Yekura, who had just caught her breath, was hit hard again.

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, cursing inwardly, "What on earth is going on?!"

Seeing that the two still had time to deal with others, Hatake Sakumo's attacks became even more ferocious.

Zisha and Yangjie were suddenly at a loss.

"Zisha, fire a signal flare to provide support."

Zisha quickly pulled out a signal flare and fired it.

Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo calmly said, "Let's finish this quickly!"

The white-toothed dagger became even faster.

"Master Bunfuku, we need to borrow the power of the One-Tailed Beast." Yosuke used the puppet to hold off Sakumo Hatake and came to Bunfuku's side.

Fenfu sighed, "I know."

"Shukaku, come out!"

"Hahaha! I can finally get out!"

A massive surge of chakra swept out from around Bunpuku.

Shika immediately abandoned Yekura, shouting, "Minato!"

"They're here!"

Minato had already prepared the Flying Thunder God seal, and with a Flying Thunder God, he instantly teleported to Bunpuku's side with Shikatoki.

"It's no use, I'm going to have some fun!"

Lu Shi sneered and immediately used a sealing technique the moment he touched Fenfu.

Shikatoki has a lot of experience in sealing tailed beasts.

His teacher, Mito Uzumaki, was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. When Shikatoki was learning sealing techniques, he also came into contact with the Nine-Tails.

After the experiment, Shikatoki suddenly realized that he did not need to seal the tailed beasts or the jinchūriki.

All that's needed is to seal the connection between the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast.

This method consumes the least amount of energy and effectively solves the problem of Jinchuriki transforming into Tailed Beasts.

Since there is no way for the two sides to communicate, there is no such thing as Fenfu voluntarily releasing Shukaku. If Shukaku wants to come out, it can only break through the original sealing technique!

Bunpuku's tailed beast transformation came to an abrupt end.

Fenfu himself was somewhat surprised, "Young friend, what a skillful move."

Shukaku's smile froze, and he roared furiously, "What's going on?! Sharing blessings?! Old monk?! Where are you?!"

Yang Jie and Zisha were both stunned.

"withdraw!"

"Where to retreat to? To die!"

In that brief moment of hesitation, Hatake Sakumo had already broken through the puppet and rushed towards the two, his white dagger slicing across their throats in an instant.

The two collapsed, clutching their necks in exhaustion.

"Captain, someone's here!"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo immediately ordered, "Take the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and retreat!"

"yes!"

The Sand Village's support forces quickly approached.

"Boss Rasa, there's a corpse up ahead!" a Sand Ninja shouted.

"Move closer."

Arriving at the body, Luo Sha's expression was extremely grim.

"Zisha and Yangjie are both dead?!"

"Boss, Ye Cang is still alive, but he's on the verge of death."

"Quickly rescue them. Also, take Zisha and Yangjie's bodies and head directly to the Rain Country's base to rendezvous." Luo Sha made a decisive decision; they had come to provide support from the Rain Country's base after seeing the signal.

The Sand Village of the Land of Rain.

The Third Kazekage's face darkened. "What did you say?! Shisou and Yosuke are dead, and the Jinchuriki are missing! Who did it?"

Luo Sha shook his head. "I don't know. When we arrived, the person was already gone, but Ye Cang is still alive and is receiving intensive treatment!"

A woman rushed into the tent, her chakra surging around her, teetering on the edge of going berserk.

"Sister, calm down!" Ebizo followed closely behind.

"How can I be calm?! My son and daughter-in-law are dead! How can I be calm?!" Chiyo looked at Rasa. "Who! Who killed my son and daughter-in-law?!"

"Chiyo, don't worry, we'll know once Yekura wakes up!" The Third Kazekage could only try to calm Chiyo down for now.

"Third Generation Leader! Yekura is awake!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the tent immediately came to Ye Cang's side.

"Yakura! Who killed Shisai and Yosuke!" Chiyo roared hysterically.

"Cough cough!" Ye Cang coughed weakly. "It's Shiroga, Konoha Shiroga."

"White Fang! Konoha! I'm going to kill you all!" Chiyo stood up. "Gather all the ninja and attack Konoha's stronghold!"

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage quickly reassured her, "Chiyo, now is not the time."

"Now is not the time, when is it? My son is dead!"

"Hanzo of the Land of Rain is now hoping we'll clash with Konoha. Once war breaks out, the Land of Rain will definitely take advantage of the situation, and the Sand Village will be defeated without a doubt. I promise you, I'll fully support you in your revenge should the opportunity arise!"

Chiyo knew what the Third Kazekage had said, but a fire still burned within her.

Seeing that Chiyo remained silent, the Third Kazekage breathed a sigh of relief. "Besides Sakumo Hatake, who else could it be? Where's the Jinchūriki?"

"Besides White Fang, there were three others: one from the Hyuga clan, whose strength was average, and the other two were children around ten years old. One had blond hair and used the Flying Thunder God Technique, while the other had black hair and instantly sealed away the berserk Master Bunpuku."

"Moreover, that black-haired ninjutsu is very strange. It can pull out my shadow. After I kill the shadow, I am severely injured and fall into a genjutsu."

Yecang's words made the tent so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.

"Impossible! How could a kid have such powerful sealing techniques? And it's the One-Tailed Beast that's already gone berserk! Is he a god?! The entire sealing team couldn't do it, how could he do it?!" Ebizo simply couldn't believe it.

He was in charge of intelligence and sealing, and he knew all too well how difficult it was to seal the tailed beasts.

"Flying Thunder God Technique! Sealing Technique! A bizarre shadow ninjutsu!" The Third Kazekage muttered to himself, his face gradually contorting. "Konoha! Hah, Tobirama Senju died, and two more geniuses have appeared. Why do all these geniuses end up in Konoha?!"

Unlike the crushing defeat suffered by Sunagakure.

Sakumo's team brought Bunpuku back to Konoha, where the proper sealing team completely sealed Bunpuku away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed. "Excellent! Sakumo, you've done a truly great job! Not only did you prevent the One-Tailed Jinchuriki from reaching the battlefield, you also captured him!"

Sakumo Hatake didn't take credit, saying, "It's all thanks to everyone's good teamwork, Shin Hyuga's Byakugan, Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, and most importantly, Shikatoki's sealing technique. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to capture the Jinchuriki at all."

"You're all good kids! I've noted down your achievements this time." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "You have a day to rest. Come see me tomorrow."

"yes!"

The four members of the team left.

With a wave of his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned a masked ANBU member.

"Owl, spread the news that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki has been captured. Have Orochimaru and the others put appropriate pressure on Sunagakure, but be careful not to overdo it. Focus on the Land of Rain."

"Yes!" The owl disappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window into the distance.

"Third Kazekage, without the Tailed Beast as your trump card, how long can your Sunagakure hold out?"

The secret service is very efficient.

In just half a day, the news that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki had been captured by Konoha spread.

The Third Kazekage clenched his fists, veins bulging, as he read the message. "Damn it! Spread the word about those two brats!"

Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage frowned as he looked at the intelligence report.

"Is the intelligence confirmed? A child can seal a tailed beast?"

"The One-Tailed Jinchuriki has been confirmed captured; the Third Hokage can't ignore it!"

"Investigate! I need all the information on those two brats!" the Third Raikage shouted.

"yes!"

Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village)

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, even doubted his own eyes when he saw the information.

"Konoha is truly overflowing with talent! Tobirama Senju has only been dead for a short time, and another genius of this caliber has emerged!" Onoki's tone was filled with jealousy. "Find out all the information about these two brats and put bounties on their heads!"

"Only those geniuses who survive can truly be geniuses!"

Hidden Mist Village.

The Third Mizukage's expression was also tense.

The Hidden Mist Technique of the Hidden Mist Village was completely countered by the Byakugan. Konoha only defended and never took the initiative to attack, clearly just stalling for time.

Now two more geniuses have emerged: one who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the other who can seal tailed beasts.

Especially the one that can seal the tailed beasts.

This is absolutely a threat among threats.

The land of rain.

Hanzo looked at the intelligence report, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Someone, send someone to inform Sunagakure that I intend to form an alliance."

"But Lord Hanzo, isn't this like asking a tiger for its skin?" asked the ninja beside Hanzo worriedly.

Hanzo remained calm. "We're currently facing enemies on three sides. Winning one over first will relieve some pressure and get the Sand Village ninja to help us fight. As for the benefits, those will only be settled after the war. Who can say for sure then?!"

"Lord Hanzo is wise!"

The Leaf Village of the Land of Rain.

Jiraiya excitedly held the battle report.

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, look how successful my student has become! Look, he's even managed to capture the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast!"

Orochimaru smiled coldly, "Minato is just naturally skilled. Aside from giving him the Flying Thunder God Technique, you didn't really teach him much."

Jiraiya didn't care at all, and instead said arrogantly, "Hehe, you're just jealous. Look at Minato, he's smaller than Nawaki, but stronger than Nawaki. What does that prove? It proves that I have good judgment!"

"Bang!"

Tsunade sent Jiraiya flying with a single punch.

"What do you mean? Rope Tree is powerful too!"

Jiraiya realized he had said the wrong thing. "Oh dear, I spoke too quickly."

Tsunade snorted coldly, then looked at the battle report again. "These brats have really done something big. I'm afraid things won't be so peaceful for them afterward."

at the same time.

Nawaki from Konoha Village was completely bewildered by the flood of news.

No!

You all beat me up and wouldn't let me go to the battlefield.

You went by yourselves?!
