Kapitel 62: 61: Raid on Gaara, Shukaku, You Are Far Weaker Than Nine Tails
Senju Tobirama: "This evil kid, if he truly masters the power of the tailed beast, it will be a disaster!"
Rasa: "He's courting death! While Uchiha Sasuke is strong, he is no match for Shukaku within Gaara."
Orochimaru: "Hehe, I'm quite curious to see what happens next. It'll be interesting if Shukaku shows up in the Forest of Death."
Ōnoki: "With Sunagakure's sealing techniques, that's a real possibility!"
Hatake Kakashi: "It's still too reckless; the strength of a tailed beast isn't something to be easily handled!"
If Sasuke provokes Shukaku in that other world, things could escalate quickly!
Even with Sasuke's strength over there, he'd be powerless against a tailed beast!
---
[The six members of Teams 7 and 3 are on their way to find Gaara.]
[Sasuke suddenly stops, his brow furrows, and his eyes dart around suspiciously.]
["What's wrong? Are you giving up now?" Neji asks.]
["It'd be better if we don't go after the One Tail's Jinchūriki!"]
["No... something feels off," Sasuke frowns. "Look around carefully. Do you notice anything unusual?"]
[That strange feeling of being watched, which he had sensed outside the exam room, is back!]
["...Can't find anything? There are no other candidates nearby."]
[Neji scans the area with his Byakugan.]
["No other humans within a kilometer radius."]
[Only some signs of wildlife—beasts, birds, and even a few predators—but that's normal in the Forest of Death.]
["Forget it, let's keep looking for Gaara."]
[Sasuke shakes his head, trying to calm himself.]
[A while later, Sasuke notices that the unsettling feeling has vanished.]
["Strange... Could it have been an illusion?" Sasuke mutters.]
["I found it! There's a massive Chakra signature up ahead!" Neji says suddenly. "It looks like those three, along with another team, have been attacked by that Sand ninja."]
[Sasuke nods, gets the direction, and says,]
["Alright, let's move. You can leave now."]
[Neji glances at Sasuke, doesn't argue, and departs with Lee on his back, along with Tenten.]
[He figures that someone as determined as Sasuke won't be talked out of his decision easily.]
[Besides, they have their own priorities—gather the scrolls and get Lee to the central tower for treatment.]
[Sasuke looks in the direction of Gaara and his group, contemplating.]
["Sakura, Naruto, things might get dangerous. Stay behind, and keep your distance."]
[Sakura naturally obeys Sasuke.]
[Naruto protests, "You're underestimating me again! I'm way stronger now!"]
[Ever since the bell test with Kakashi-sensei, Naruto felt he had proved his strength.]
[Sasuke always seems to treat him like a weak link!]
["That's not what I meant," Sasuke replies, rolling his eyes. "This is just part of the strategy. We can't reveal all our strength at once! You're strong, Naruto, but I need you to jump in only when I'm in real danger."]
["Is that so?" Naruto's mood improves. "Haha, you've got good judgment! Don't worry, I've got your back!"]
[Sasuke secretly smiles.]
[After working with Naruto for some time, Sasuke's learned how to handle him.]
[You can't belittle him; you just have to stroke his ego a bit. Naruto's not exactly the sharpest, so he's easy to trick.]
---
Uzumaki Naruto: "??? Are you tricking me? Damn it, Sasuke! I thought you were being serious!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Will this keep Naruto from causing trouble? Got it!"
Hatake Kakashi: "Sasuke, don't underestimate Naruto too much..."
The talent of Sasuke in the other world is insane, making the strength gap between him and Naruto huge, so Sasuke might think Naruto is a hindrance.
But here, Naruto isn't that far behind.
Sasuke probably doesn't realize that the 'dead last' in his eyes is about to catch up...
---
[Naruto and Sakura hide about a kilometer away.]
[Sasuke heads toward Gaara alone.]
[As he gets closer, he spots the figures of Gaara and his team ahead.]
[It seems they've just finished off another group—three bodies lie lifeless nearby.]
[The stench of blood is overwhelming.]
[Sasuke activates his Sharingan, adjusting his body to its peak, electricity coursing through him!]
[Whoosh!]
[Sasuke's figure blurs as he bolts toward Gaara's team like an arrow.]
[In an instant, Sasuke closes the distance between them.]
["..."]
[Kankuro barely has time to speak before he feels a sharp pain in his stomach, getting kicked away!]
[Boom!]
[A Great Fireball, prepared in advance by Sasuke, explodes toward Temari!]
["Damn it!"]
[Temari, having a fraction more time to react than Kankuro, leaps to avoid the blast.]
[Effortlessly pushing the two back, Sasuke places a kunai to Gaara's throat.]
[Gaara's sand defense kicks in just moments too late.]
---
Rock Lee: "That speed is insane!"
Hyūga Neji: "Much faster than when you fought Gaara before, Lee!"
Rasa: "How did Gaara and his siblings get ambushed like this?!"
Rasa couldn't believe his eyes.
His three children had strength far beyond most Chūnin.
Gaara's strength was unquestionable, and Temari's power was nearly on par with Jōnin. Only Kankuro lagged slightly behind.
But for all three of them to be dealt with so quickly by Uchiha Sasuke? Impossible!
Kankuro is kicked!
Temari is forced to retreat!
Gaara has been taken hostage!
Hatake Kakashi: "The Sasuke from that other world seems to have surpassed even me as a teacher when it comes to Lightning Style stimulation..."
His feelings are mixed.
Sasuke in that world learned the Lightning Style stimulation method in just a few months, but he's already surpassed what Kakashi took years to master!
Fourth Raikage: "Ugh! The more I watch, the more it bothers me. Why does a Lightning Style genius like that belong to Konoha? He should've been in the Cloud!"
Orochimaru: "Also, Sasuke started his attack after covering some distance."
---
["Damn it, let Gaara go!"]
[Temari realizes what has happened.]
[In the blink of an eye, someone has attacked them and successfully taken Gaara hostage!]
["I suggest you don't do anything rash."]
[The kunai in Sasuke's hand makes two deliberate gestures near Gaara's neck.]
[As the sand around them begins to creep toward him, Sasuke casually swats it away.]
["Uchiha Sasuke!"]
[Gaara's cold voice resonates, her eyes trembling with intense killing intent.]
[The person she wanted to kill now dares to attack her directly!]
["Don't play around with your sand. It's too slow—who do you think you're fooling?"]
[Sasuke watches as the sand floats toward him once again and scatters it just as easily.]
[Gaara watches in disbelief as her absolute defense is as fragile as paper before him.]
["Hmm, let's see... You've already collected the Earth Scroll. Not bad, I'll give you some credit for that. I'll hold on to it for now."]
[Sasuke glances at Gaara's pouch and takes the scrolls hidden inside.]
[Meanwhile…]
[Sasuke holds the kunai against Gaara's neck and discreetly releases a bit of Genjutsu-infused chakra.]
Tactile Illusion!
[By using physical contact, he can successfully cast the illusion without needing eye contact through the Sharingan.]
[The next moment…]
[Sasuke appears inside Gaara's sealed space.]
[While keeping aware of the situation outside, Sasuke begins investigating the sealed environment.]
[There's a denser mist of chakra here compared to Naruto's sealed space!]
[In the distance…]
[A colossal, brown-yellow beast resembling a gigantic tanuki sits in a dim, imposing prison.]
[This must be Sunagakure's One Tail, Shukaku.]
[Sasuke frowns slightly.]
[It feels far weaker than the Nine Tails sealed inside Naruto.]
[Though he senses Shukaku's massive chakra, it lacks the overwhelming, soul-crushing presence of the Nine Tails.]
---
Nine Tails: "Pfft hahaha! The brat's right! That guy Shukaku can't even compare to me!"
One Tail: "Damn you, Kurama! Damn you, Uchiha Sasuke!"
---
["Hey, kid, come closer! Let me kill you!"]
[Shukaku's shrill voice echoes throughout the mental space.]
[Sasuke halts, frowns, and after a moment of thought, says:]
["I see... It seems Sunagakure's sealing technique is flawed. Even though One Tail's chakra is far inferior to the Nine Tails, more of it leaks through the seal."]
["You want me to come closer, huh? That must mean the seal is weak enough for you to harm me, perhaps damaging my spirit in the process."]
["Tsk, even sealed, you tailed beasts can still cause trouble. Looks like Gaara, as a Jinchūriki, must have a tough time with this weak sealing technique."]
[Shukaku freezes.]
[How could this brat figure it out so quickly?]
["…Wait!" Shukaku realizes something infuriating hidden in Sasuke's words. "Damn brat, who do you think is inferior to the Nine Tails? Do you want to die?!"]
[Shukaku goes berserk!]
[The amount of chakra seeping through the dark prison increases!]
[Sasuke observes with interest.]
[It seems that when a tailed beast is agitated, more chakra leaks through the seal.]
[However… the amount of chakra leaking from One Tail is far greater than expected.]
[Despite being a simple tailed beast with only one tail, its chakra permeates more easily than the Nine Tails'!]
["How bad is Sunagakure's sealing technique?"]
---
Rasa: "..."
Orochimaru: "As expected of Sasuke, he immediately deduced the situation with Sunagakure's seal."
Ōnoki: "I've heard that the One Tail Jinchūriki can't even sleep, or Shukaku might take over their spirit through the seal. Kazekage, is that true?"
Fourth Raikage: "Your silence speaks volumes, so the rumors must be true."
One Tail: "Damn you, Uchiha Sasuke! How dare you call me an ordinary tailed beast?!"
Nine Tails: "You are ordinary. You're nothing but garbage with one tail."
One Tail: "You damn fox!"
---
[Sasuke focuses his Sharingan, attempting to control the misty chakra in front of him.]
[Success!]
[And... it's even easier than the last time!]
[This confirms that his previous success in controlling the Nine Tails' chakra was no fluke.]
[It seems the Sharingan truly does have a connection with the tailed beasts.]
[The legend that the Sharingan can control tailed beasts is likely true.]
[However, controlling a fully formed tailed beast probably requires far greater ocular power.]
["Well then, goodbye, little tanuki. We'll meet again one day."]
[Sasuke snaps his fingers and exits Shukaku's sealed space.]
[He hopes that day isn't too far away.]
