Chapitre 184: Chapter 185 : Releasing Shukaku!
Shukaku, struck by Tobirama's lethal blow, struggled to find strength to stand. The impact from below had severely injured his lower body, leaving him soft and slowly regaining form.
"Earth Release : Earth Spear Formation!"
Tsushima swiftly executed hand seals, unleashing his specialized ninjutsu. Seizing the opportunity, he launched thrusts of formidable spear through the ground, slamming into Shukaku's body. Just as Shukaku attempted to rise, he winced in pain, hindered by the injuries.
Tobirama's water ninjutsu had taken its toll, causing Shukaku to shrink and reducing his defenses. Thorn-like soil projectiles embedded in his body constrained his movements.
"Earth Release Obsidian Skin! Earth Release : Earth Rock Armor!"
Tsushima, lacking support, resorted to his mightiest technique. His skin turned pitch black, reflecting a cold light, as countless stones covered him, transforming him into a three-meter-high giant.
"Big civet cat! Feast your eyes on this fist!"
Tsushima, confident with his dual ninjutsu techniques, demonstrated not only remarkable defense but also formidable offense. In this state, Chiyo would find it challenging to counter him.
"Boom boom boom!"
Tsushima took the lead, assaulting Shukaku with fists and kicks akin to a pile driver. Despite his diminutive stature, he inflicted significant damage on the weakened Shukaku.
"Ugh—!"
Shukaku grimaced as a punch landed on his nose, emitting a mournful cry. His large, copper bell-like eyes fixated on the earth with a sudden intensity, a cruel and fierce light flickering due to anger.
"Roar-!"
A tailed beast is formidable, and once it enters a rage, even Tsushima struggles to endure. Shukaku firmly struck the ground, scattering debris.
Tsushima crashed into the sand, coughing heavily upon getting up. Fortunately, his robust defense mitigated the damage.
"Ahem, I was too careless. Shukaku's intimidation rendered me immobile... Tobirama-sama is truly facing a monster. Everyone, let's attack together; One-Tail must be nearing its limit!"
Tsushima, feeling somewhat embarrassed under the gaze of Kazama and Elder Hyuga, joined forces with them, launching a coordinated assault.
"Earth Release, Earth Spear!"
"Wind Release·Vacuum Slash!"
"Gentle Fist · Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
The three simultaneously attacked the still-recovering Shukaku with powerful ninjutsu, prompting a tragic howl from him.
Under this relentless assault, Shukaku lacked the strength to recover, and the overwhelming pressure gradually subsided. However, the fierceness in his eyes intensified, resembling a devil roaring to break free.
"Roar-!"
Shukaku went berserk, unleashing Wind Release and Drilling Air Bullet without restraint. Powerful winds blasted out, wreaking havoc on the surrounding terrain.
"Watch out!"
Faced with Shukaku's onslaught, the trio chose to defend and retreated slightly, unable to counterattack.
"Crap, it's truly useless!"
Observing Shukaku gaining an advantage, Takeshi sighed, "These so-called tailed beasts, even the one-tailed or three-tailed ones, can at least contend with a Jonin-level powerhouse. I never expected them to be beaten by several quasi-Jonins. It seems I overestimated Shukaku's true combat power. The upcoming battles in the Fourth Ninja Great War benefit from Gaara's support. No wonder the nine tails scoffs at this performance."
In the midst of sustained injuries from Tobirama and Jinchūriki's inability to unleash his full strength, Shukaku clung on, retaining some vitality.
"Keep holding on!"
Beneath Shukaku's devastating air bullets, Tsushima's Earth Release lay in ruins, and both Kazama and Elder Hyuga struggled to maintain their composure.
Yet, as they pondered countermeasures, Shukaku's gaze abruptly fixed, the assault halted, and like a deflating balloon, he rapidly dwindled until only a dying sand ninja remained on the ground.
"Ow! Bugs, just you wait!" In Shukaku's final moments of disappearance, he couldn't seem to suppress his consciousness, and everyone vaguely heard Shukaku's defiant roar.
"That's it! Jinchūriki couldn't endure any longer; he released the ninjutsu, subduing Shukaku!"
Tsushima finally breathed a sigh of relief at this sight. Kazami instantly appeared next to the sand Jinchūriki, carefully examining him before declaring, "He's fine, just unconscious."
"Hahahaha! We've captured the Sand Ninja's one-tailed Jinchūriki, and Sunagakure has no choice but to bow!"
Tsushima, in high spirits, cracked a joke.
"Well, since that's settled, let me seal his acupuncture points to prevent him from waking up and resisting. That's why Tobirama-sama sent me here."
The Hyuga elder rolled up his sleeves, chakra radiating from his hands as he struck the Sand Ninja.
"Hee hee, didn't expect it to end so quickly. You all seem satisfied, but I'm not quite. I won't get its chakra once Shukaku is sealed."
Takeshi materialized behind a rock, his scarlet eyes gleaming, the Three Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly. Majestic spiritual power silently flowed into the mind of the sand ninja Jinchūriki!
Originally, the sand ninja strained to suppress Shukaku back into his body. In these conditions, the sand ninja was already drained, and within the consciousness space, he gazed at the enraged Shukaku within the cage, visibly unstable.
Yet, Takeshi's goal was to push Shukaku to a complete collapse to harvest the tailed beast Chakra escaping upon his death. A mental force intruded directly into Sand Ninja's consciousness, and the seal on Shukaku began to weaken!
"Huh? A golden opportunity!"
Sensing the weakening of Sand Ninja's consciousness, Shukaku attacked the containment with all his might!
Sand Ninja's sealing technique was inferior to that of the Uzumaki clan, even falling short of Gaara's era. While Takeshi couldn't directly dismantle the seal, he could, at this moment, obliterate Jinchūriki's consciousness and set Shukaku free!
Typically, the individual retains control during a beast transformation, but once Shukaku is unleashed, his consciousness will overpower Jinchūriki's, rendering him a puppet. Unlike Naruto, there's no parental will lingering in his body to aid in restoration and suppression!
"Ow—! One-tail's breaking free!"
Through the synergy of internal and external efforts, the seal finally loosened, Shukaku's immense mental power consuming Jinchiriki's consciousness irrationally, and the residual energy erupting in chaos!
As Elder Hyuga continued to apply the sealing technique with beads of sweat on his forehead, the gravity of the situation weighed heavily upon him. The completion of the seal was paramount; once done, only the Hyuga clan possessed the means to lift it.
The consequences for the caster were severe—an eternal ban on chakra usage. Every ounce of chakra they produced would be siphoned into strengthening the seal, even the chakra that a tailed beast might release.
Focused and determined, Elder Hyuga worked tirelessly. With each passing second, the capture of Sand Jinchūriki drew closer to fruition.
Yet, in the midst of this crucial process, a sudden shock rippled through the atmosphere. Elder Hyuga's face drained of color, his eyes widening in terror. His gaze was fixed on Sand Jinchūriki, whose body began to convulse violently. Cracks marred the surface of his form, and an overwhelming and malevolent chakra surged forth.
"Be cautious-!"
Tshushima, reacting swiftly, withdrew as the ground beneath him quaked. In a matter of moments, the earth exploded, and amidst the billowing sand, Shukaku materialized in all his colossal glory. A massive, imposing figure, born from the astonishing gazes of the onlookers.
"Whoo-ah-!"
Shukaku bellowed towards the sky—a liberating cry echoing the joy of breaking free and once again basking in the sunlight. Simultaneously, a fiery hatred for humanity burned in his eyes, a testament to the resentment accumulated during his captivity.
"Pfft!"
Elder Hyuga, in proximity to Sand Jinchūriki, had no time to react. A colossal slap sent him sprawling, blood spraying in its wake. Staring at the monstrous being before him, he croaked, "How is this possible?!"
