Chapter 132 is too powerful; it must be sealed! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

"The show is about to begin!"

The eagle circling in the air looked down at the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja facing off, a smile appearing in its eyes.

The eagle is, of course, the one that Hoshino Shizuka transformed into.

Actually, there were other birds nearby, so he wasn't particularly noticeable.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield below, neither the main forces of the Sand Ninja nor the Rock Ninja moved; only two people stepped out from the crowd.

Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure!

Bunpuku, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure!

This was the first time Hoshita Shuichi saw a Jinchūriki, but he was an old monk who was much older than Lao Zi.

I don't know much about the monk Hoshino Hideichi, but I have a deep impression of his disciple, the monk Hoichi. After all, he was the one who controlled the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed, and his skill in sealing techniques was quite profound.

The most likely successor is the kind-faced monk Fenfu before us.

"Possessing powerful sealing techniques and considerable chakra, this means that Bunpuku can suppress the One-Tailed Beast."

"I don't know if it will be like Old Purple's... but we'll see soon enough."

Shuichi Hoshino is looking forward to it.

Below, Fenfu and Laozi stopped.

Old Zi looked at Fen Fu and said, "Old monk, you should go home and chant scriptures. This is not a place for you."

Fenfu clasped his hands together, looking at Lao Zi with a gentle expression, and said, "Wasn't the attack last night yours, benefactor?"

"You should leave, benefactor. Neither village will gain anything from this war; continuing it will only result in losses for both sides."

Old Zi sneered, "Since you know it's not me, then you shouldn't have shown up at all."

"Old monk, you haven't mastered the power of the tailed beasts yet, have you?"

"In a fight, they'd probably be unable to distinguish friend from foe, hehe, that would be really bad!"

Fenfu sighed upon hearing this, then lowered his head and looked down.

The next moment, crimson chakra appeared on his body, and then the body of the One-Tailed Beast quickly appeared, expanding in size, while Bunpuku's body disappeared.

"Yo ho!"

A piercing shriek rang out, and Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, roared excitedly, "Finally out! I'm going to slaughter you all!"

Old Purple's expression darkened as he looked on: "This guy... he actually released the One-Tailed Beast!"

Inside his body, the Four-Tails spoke, "In this state, you can't defeat him. Why don't you let me do it?"

Old Zi sneered, "Don't underestimate people!"

Four-Tails laughed, "Last time you got beaten up pretty badly by a little brat!"

Old Zi was furious: "That was just my carelessness!"

……

Shukaku on the other side didn't immediately pay attention to the little guy in front of him, but instead turned to look at the Sand Ninja.

This immediately chilled the hearts of many Sand Shinobi, and Rasa's expression darkened: "Can't Fenfu be suppressed anymore?"

However, Shukaku turned around and sneered, "I'll let you go for now, out of respect for the old monk!"

"Four-tailed..."

Shukaku looked at Ryuu and immediately launched into a sarcastic tone: "You pathetic monkey!"

"His power has been manipulated by that despicable ninja!"

"Heh heh, let me take care of this guy for you and free you from this predicament!"

Before the words were even finished, Shukaku had already raised its front paw and slapped down at Ryusei.

Old Purple clasped his hands together and entered Lava Release Chakra Mode, his entire body covered in lava armor, and he opened his mouth to shoot out huge lava balls.

However, it was stopped by a sudden surge of sand.

boom!

The giant tanuki paw slammed onto the sand dune, but Roshi dodged it with lightning speed. While still in the air, he once again used the Scorching River Rock Technique to attack Shukaku.

Shukaku also launched an attack at the same time, pressing its left forepaw against its abdomen and opening its mouth to unleash a terrifyingly huge whirlwind.

The lava ball was no match for them and was instantly blasted apart. Instead, the flames and storm combined to form a terrifying firestorm, whipping up and igniting the sand, engulfing Rōshi and the Iwa ninja behind him.

However, Lao Zi was wearing lava armor, so even when the burning sand hit him, it couldn't break through his defenses. But the raging storm made him lose control of his body.

The Iwa ninja behind them immediately joined forces to use Earth Release, creating towering walls that blocked the incoming sandstorm of fire.

The Sand Ninja on the other side were greatly encouraged.

"So this is the power of a tailed beast! It's truly terrifying!"

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure is no match for them!"

"This time we should finally be able to drive the Iwa ninja out!"

……

After the sandstorm passed, Lao Zi was also thrown hard onto the beach.

Immediately afterwards, sand surged from all around, continuously covering him, even as the intense heat emanating from his body melted the sand.

"If this continues, you'll be sealed away by Shukaku!"

Four-Tails couldn't help but remind me.

Tailed Beast chakra immediately appeared on Old Purple's body, and tails quickly emerged from his tail, indicating that he had directly entered a semi-tailed beast transformation state.

boom!

The sand exploded, and in his four-tailed form, Roshi soared into the sky, his speed increasing dramatically. He dodged the streams of sand rushing towards him and headed straight for Shukaku.

Shukaku pressed his abdomen, and when he opened his mouth, powerful wind balls spat out one after another.

Rumble!

The hurricane blasted huge craters into the desert, whipping up terrifying sandstorms that swept towards the Iwa ninja.

Seeing this, Rasa immediately ordered, "The sealing team and the Jinchuriki guards stay behind. The rest of you, attack with me!"

Taking advantage of the sandstorm engulfing the Iwa ninja, Rasa ordered an attack. The Sand ninja split into two and attacked the Iwa ninja from both sides of the Tailed Beast battlefield.

Meanwhile, Old Purple used his speed and agility to evade the attacks and quickly approached Shukaku.

Suddenly, Shukaku opened its mouth and spat out sand, which was no longer a wind ball, but a dense barrage of sand like bullets, piercing through the air and enveloping Roshi.

Wind Release: Sand Barrage!

With such a dense barrage of attacks, not to mention Old Purple, even Hoshino Shuichi, who was watching from the air, knew that it was impossible to dodge them with speed alone.

Should we tough it out or go underground?

Hoshino Shizuka speculates.

Meanwhile, Lao Zi burrowed straight into the sand and sped forward beneath the sand layer.

"Go to hell!"

Shukaku screamed, and beneath him, waves of sand rose up, waves surging forward, and constantly crushing downwards, forming terrible pressure.

Suddenly, stone pillars pierced through the sand from the ground, spreading all the way towards Shukaku. The stone pillars kept exploding, even scattering the sand waves.

Seeing this, Hoshino Shuichi understood that in that battle back then, Old Purple had indeed been arrogant.

Of course, compared to back then, the current Lao Zi has indeed improved a lot.

Old Purple burrowed down from beneath the sand layer to beneath Shukaku. The next moment, the sand layer collapsed, and a lava lake appeared.

However, Shukaku had already noticed this and took off into the air a step ahead. It turned around in mid-air, pressed its claws against its abdomen, and opened its mouth to shoot out a huge whirlwind.

Meanwhile, on the lava lake, Old Purple in his four-tailed form condensed a dark purple Tailed Beast Ball and launched it.

As the ultimate technique of the Tailed Beasts, the Tailed Beast Ball was naturally exceptionally powerful, piercing through Shukaku's three wind balls and continuing to crush him.

Shukaku immediately raised its left forepaw, which transformed into a sand shield.

Rumble!

The terrifying roar and the burst of intense light caused even the spectator Hoshino Shuichi to lose his sight instantly.

Once his vision returned, Hoshino Shuichi saw Shukaku, who had already landed.

This guy's left front paw is gone, but there are no other injuries. It's obvious that it blocked the Tailed Beast Ball before.

"This defense is amazing!"

"and……"

Hideichi Hoshino saw that Shukaku's claws were rapidly recovering.

Sand body!

Hoshita Shuichi frowned to himself: "It seems impossible to obtain chakra by getting Shukaku's flesh and blood. Once this guy's body is separated from his body, it will probably turn into sand directly."

trouble!

Below, Shukaku also yelled "Trouble!" before turning to look at the battlefield between the Sand and Iwa ninja, and laughed, "I'll kill all those guys first!"

With that, Shukaku charged toward the sandstone battlefield.

"hateful!"

Enraged, Old Purple immediately chased after Shukaku at top speed.

However, waves of sand kept crashing against him, hindering his progress.

"Idiot, you fell for that stinky raccoon's trick!"

As Yotsuba reminded him, Old Purple's gaze sharpened as he noticed the surrounding sand spinning, forming a terrifying rotating sand wall, and the surrounding terrain rising higher and higher.

Are tailed beasts that smart?

The Four-Tails is clearly so stupid!

Old Purple wanted to rush out, but the four-tailed beast inside his belly, hearing his thoughts, roared in anger: "You arrogant bastard, you humans are the dumbest!"

"You're dead this time!"

"He'll definitely be sealed away by that stinky raccoon!"

……

The Four-Tails really wants to see Rōshi suffer, since he can be reincarnated and regain his freedom after Rōshi dies.

However, I really couldn't accept losing to that foul-mouthed raccoon!

"Idiot, use that move to break this cage!"

Four-tailed reminder.

Old Purple was blocked by the sand and could not break free. Instead, he sank deeper and deeper, and the outer layer of sand became thicker and thicker. Finally, heeding advice, he began to prepare the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, a wisp of sand wrapped around him and locked around his neck.

Although the Lava Release technique quickly melted the sand, the sand continued to pour down, layer upon layer, and soon covered the half-tailed beast-transformed Roshi.

"What a stupid, stinky monkey!"

"You're dead meat now!"

Shukaku, who had already turned around, laughed loudly. He pressed down with his two front paws, and the cursed patterns on his body immediately spread out, merging with the sand to form layers of seals.

Watching from the air, Hoshino Shigehisa's gaze sharpened: "I almost forgot, the markings on Shukaku's body are curse marks, embodying the power of sealing."

"Worth studying!"

Since we can't obtain Shukaku's chakra for the time being, let's take a look at these cursed seal patterns first.

However, Shukaku below had just finished sealing and hadn't even had time to feel smug before sensing something was wrong. His gaze sharpened: "So, that stinky monkey has finally come out?"

The next moment, the towering sand dune seal suddenly exploded, and terrifying lava erupted from below.

Then a giant ape crawled out!

Four-Tailed Son Goku!

Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but think to himself, "The First Hokage was absolutely right. The power of the Tailed Beasts is too great; they should indeed be sealed away."

Let alone the Tailed Beast Ball, even Shukaku's Sky Bullet could easily destroy a city.

These two massive creatures could easily bring terrible disasters to ordinary people.

No wonder the tailed beasts are synonymous with disaster and evil.

Just then, Shukaku's voice came from below: "You stinky monkey, you've finally come out."

"You should thank me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come out for some fresh air!"

"Why don't we join forces?"

"Let's join forces to wipe out the Iwa ninja, then kill your Jinchuriki, and you'll be free."

The four-tailed Goku coldly shouted, "You stinking raccoon dog, you idiot! How could I possibly lose to an idiot like you!"

Shukaku immediately chuckled maliciously, "Don't forget, this is my home turf!"

Although he was stubborn, the four-tailed Goku knew that Shukaku was telling the truth.

This desert is indeed the most suitable place for Shukaku to fight, but it is very disadvantageous to him.

"We must finish this quickly!"

Thinking this, Sun Wukong rushed towards Shouhe.

A new round of battles has begun.

Hoshino Shuichi watched the two tailed beasts fighting hand-to-hand below, then his attention returned to the cursed seal patterns on Shukaku's body.

Unfortunately, we can only observe a portion of it.

Time passes little by little.

Shukaku did have the upper hand, but it couldn't defeat the Four-Tails, Son Goku.

Meanwhile, the Iwa ninja chose to retreat first.

Previously, the sandstorm caused them to lose the initiative in the Sand Ninja's attack, and the desert terrain also prevented the Iwa Ninja from taking advantage of their ability to adapt to different terrains for combat.

As the Iwa ninja retreated, the Four-Tails Son Goku also immediately retreated.

"What a pathetic, smelly monkey!"

"They've been controlled by ninjas!"

Shukaku did not give chase, but lay lazily on the desert, its breath stinking.

The four-tailed Goku was furious. As he retreated, he shouted, "You stinking raccoon, aren't you just like me?!"

Because of the presence of the Four-Tails, the Sand Ninja did not pursue them, and after watching the Iwa Ninja leave, they did not dare to approach Shukaku for a while.

Luo Sha arrived at the sealing team and said, "Follow my instructions later!"

The Sand Village sealing team members all nodded: "Yes, Lord Rasa!"

Rasa looked at Shukaku with a solemn expression, ready to make a move at any moment.

Meanwhile, the lazy Shukaku was negotiating with Bunpuku: "Hey, old monk, I fought off the enemy's attack for you Sand Ninja, shouldn't you let me stay outside a little longer?"

Monk Fenfu said gently and calmly, "For you, the inside and outside are the same. What I feel, you can also feel."

Shukaku complained, "Hey, aren't you boring?"

"Besides, with me here, that stinky monkey definitely won't dare to come back."

Monk Fenfu smiled without saying a word, but responded with his actions.

Shukaku felt a powerful force pulling him back into the seal, and he was furious: "Your seal was clearly obtained from me, yet you use it even better! Damn it!"

Monk Fenfu laughed and said, "If you cultivate diligently as much as I do, you can definitely do even better than me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shukaku disappeared.

Back in the sealed space, Shukaku lazily sprawled out and snorted, "Even if you train diligently, you'll still die in a few years, while I can live forever!"

"You guys shouldn't be so arrogant."

……

Seeing Shukaku resealed, Rasa immediately let out a long sigh of relief. His gaze then fell on the eagle flying away in the sky, and he muttered to himself, "A Konoha ninja beast, huh?"

In the air, Hoshino Shuichi, who was leaving, smiled to himself: "Looks like we've been discovered."

It would be strange if they weren't discovered.

As soon as the tailed beast appeared, all the other birds were scared away, but he was still staring at it all by himself. It was obvious that something was wrong.

However, given the distance, it's probably impossible to ascertain his true identity.

After leaving the battlefield, with a bang, the eagle exploded into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Further away, on a weathered rock pillar, Hoshino Shizuka, sitting cross-legged, received the memories of his clone and pondered to himself: "On the battlefield, whether it's Sand Ninja or Iwa Ninja, they are very strict about Jinchuriki, making it too difficult to make a move."

"However, the cursed seal on Shukaku's body is a pleasant surprise and worth studying carefully."
