In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

In response to this, Tianyu smiled slightly.

The next second, he directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, easily placing a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on Shukaku's back.

"Ah, the Desert Layer Burial Seal."

Shukaku was teased.

He became furious and embarrassed.

In just a moment, Shukaku let out a roar.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ground collapsed.

The earth sank, and the rocks below were broken up and solidified into sand.

The desert emerged like ocean waves.

A sand wave tens of meters high rushed towards Tianyu in an instant.

Tianyu's figure disappeared amidst the swirling yellow sand.

Then, Shukaku's seal pattern appeared on the sand.

The next moment, a spire, like a stack of building blocks, appeared on the ground.

"It should be sealed away now."

Shukaku, looking at the enormous spire of building blocks, was finally satisfied.

but.

"Oh, were you looking for me?"

Tengo descended from the sky and landed on the back of Shukaku.

"What? That's impossible."

Shukaku looked completely bewildered.

That's impossible! He clearly saw that the person in front of him had already been sealed away.

what happened.

"It's nothing. Now that you're done, it's my turn."

"The Eight Gates Formation, the sixth gate, the View Gate, opens."

After Tianyu finished speaking...

Kisame Hoshigaki instantly concealed his body.

He was truly terrified of the Eight Gates Formation.

Even though he knew in his heart that the Eight Gates Formation wouldn't be targeting him this time, he couldn't help but trigger his body's instinctive reaction.

"The morning peacock".

"boom."

Tianyu's speed instantly became extremely fast.

The air around them, through friction, also produced something that looked like flames.

As they flutter, they resemble the wings of a peacock.

"Ah." The fists swung continuously, each punch landing hard on Shukaku's body.

The speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique made it impossible for Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, to catch up with Tengo's figure.

Tengo even deliberately attacked Shukaku in a roundabout way.

The Shukaku was so engrossed that it kept circling around in the same spot.

When he finally stopped, Shukaku felt as if the sky above him was filled with stars.

"The last resort."

"Ice Dragon's Whirlwind Tail Across the Sky"

Tengok retracted the Eight Gates, gripped Hyōrinmaru, and swung his sword at Shukaku without hesitation.

In that instant, the ice blade continued to spread from the edge of the blade.

Until it completely covered Shukaku.

Then, the dazzling ice flowers froze into a hundred-meter-long ice sculpture on the ground.

With this, the ice sculpture of Shukaku was completely completed.

"Get back into Gaara's body."

Ten's final blow landed squarely on Shukaku's head.

A mournful cry was heard.

Shukaku's enormous body was shrinking continuously.

Slowly, until the very end.

Everything disappeared.

A boy's body fell from mid-air.

Chapter 200 Touched

At that moment, Tengo kicked Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Hurry up and catch him! If he falls to his death, how will we get him to Sunagakure?"

As soon as Tenyu finished speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki rushed forward and caught Gaara just as he was about to hit the ground.

"Cough cough, why!"

Gaara looked at Tengoku in disbelief.

Gaara witnessed the entire battle just now.

In his view, the battle just now was just Tengo toying with Shukaku, and he had the power to completely overwhelm Shukaku.

However, after playing around with him for a while, he finally managed to force Shukaku into his body.

"What do you mean, 'why'? Are you asking why I caught you? Or why I didn't kill you?!"

Tengo crossed his arms and looked at Gaara slowly, saying...

Gaara remained silent.

"It seems you want to know the answers to both of these questions. As I said before, if you had died from falling from such a height, how would he have sent you to the Sand Village to exchange for those things? And killing you is laughable. You're just a brat, a brat who can't get love, and you're delusional about getting attention by killing people."

"But all I ever get is fear, so why should I kill a brat? Besides, even if Shukaku goes berserk, I'm perfectly capable of suppressing it. Killing a Jinchuriki isn't a good choice. I don't have the time to help Sunagakure find another Jinchuriki and then repeat the trauma you suffered in your childhood."

Tianyu curled his lip.

"No, you don't understand anything at all. You don't understand what I've been through, and you don't understand why I hate them so much!"

Gaara lowered his head, and at that moment he seemed somewhat vulnerable.

That's true, Gaara is only twelve years old.

He's still just a child.

A child just like Naruto.

My heart suddenly softened.

"Do you know? Naruto's childhood wasn't much better than yours. As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he should have been a hero of the village, but for some reason, he was hated by the village and called the Demon Fox. He grew up in hatred and fear."

"Naruto should have been filled with hatred for this village like you, but he was born a little sun. He was used to silently digesting all his bad feelings and always showing others his cheerful side, just like the sun, quietly warming others, just like his father!"

"Naruto didn't live with hatred despite the indifference of others. Now that the truth has come out, Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, the son of a hero, and he himself is a hero. The villagers' attitude towards him is slowly improving, and Naruto has gained many friends because of this. This also shows that while the attitude of those around you is important, what you think yourself is even more important."

"If you are willing to always keep smiling, then one day you will be accepted by people. But if you suppress your true self and treat others with killing and bloodshed, then all you will ever get is killing and bloodshed, fear and terror. That's all I have to say. Anyway, the road ahead is yours to walk."

"And after we send you back to Sunagakure this time, whether you continue to be a weapon of the village, or what you want to become, is up to you."

It's rare for Tengo to be able to say so much to Gaara in one go.

After all, given their current social standing, they've long since lost interest in the affairs of kids like Gaara.

However, Gaara's childhood was pitiful, and since the future Gaara was the Fifth Kazekage, he only spoke a few words more often.

"Did Naruto also experience those things?"

Gaara spoke, as if questioning Tengoku, yet also as if muttering to himself.

Yes.

How could they not have suffered those things? The terror of Jinchūriki is something that probably no one in the village will forget.

Gaara dares not forget those memories for even a moment.

But now, looking back, it all seems like a fleeting memory, and I don't seem to hate it as much anymore.

Why is this?

Perhaps it's because they realized that even when treated this way, there's still another way to live in this world.

After much effort, they finally managed to bring the rampaging Shukaku back under control.

It destroyed a lot of the surrounding forests.

However, I believe this place will soon be covered with trees again.

After the fight, it was already dark.

They found an open space to rest, ate something casually in the evening, and then everyone went to rest.

This time, Tenyu did not put anklets on Gaira or seal him with any sealing talismans.

Anyway, if Gaara wanted to run away, even with all of this, he could still endure the pain in his body and make Shukaku go berserk and escape.

If Gaara didn't want to run, there was no need to put shackles on him.
