<div>
The Third Kazekage was frustrated. Facing Shukaku''s relentless attacks, he could only defend passively.
<div>
<div>
It wasn''t that he was weaker than Shukaku. He could suppress the beast, but that didn''t mean the other Suna Shinobi could survive its attacks.
<div>
<div>
To protect his comrades, he had to focus on defense.
<div>
<div>
"Except for the Sealing Team, everyone else, retreat!" he ordered.
<div>
<div>
The other Shinobi were just getting in the way.
<div>
<div>
The Suna Shinobi quickly retreated, and Hanzō ordered the Ame Shinobi to follow suit.
<div>
<div>
"Hanzō, I need your help to subdue the One-Tail," the Kazekage said to Hanzō.
<div>
<div>
He could suppress the One-Tail, but it was taking a toll on him.
<div>
<div>
"No problem, but will you compensate Amegakure for our losses during the attack on the Konoha camp?" Hanzō set his condition.
<div>
<div>
He hadn''t refused to help, but he wanted compensation. He had personally led fifty elite Ame Shinobi in the attack on the Konoha camp.
<div>
<div>
Only he had returned. The other fifty had been frozen by Shin.
<div>
<div>
Fifty elite Chunin... even Hanzō felt the loss. They were valuable assets.
<div>
<div>
"As long as you help me seal the One-Tail, I''ll compensate you accordingly."
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage''s face remained impassive, though he was inwardly cursing Hanzō for taking advantage of the situation.
<div>
<div>
"Summoning Jutsu!"
<div>
<div>
Hanzō summoned his salamander.
<div>
<div>
The salamander was no match for Shukaku, but its massive size could buy them some time.
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage attacked, using his Magnet Release to create an Iron Sand cage, trapping Shukaku.
<div>
<div>
"Sealing Team, seal the One-Tail!" he yelled while continuing his assault.
<div>
<div>
Hanzō and the Kazekage used Water Release to attack Shukaku. Ebizo and Chiyo also joined the fray.
<div>
<div>
Against four Kage-level opponents, Shukaku was overwhelmed.
<div>
<div>
The Sealing Team rushed forward and used their Jutsu to seal Shukaku. It shouldn''t be a problem.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
<div>
<div>
It was just the One-Tail. Compared to the Nine-Tails, which had almost destroyed Konoha, Shukaku was a minor threat.
<div>
<div>
"That useless Tanuki."
<div>
<div>
Shin, observing from the shadows, cursed. Shukaku was weak. It hadn''t even caused any casualties before being subdued.
<div>
<div>
"No way. That''s my loot! You can''t take it from me!"
<div>
<div>
Shin appeared on Shukaku''s head in a flash, looking down at the Third Kazekage and the others.
<div>
<div>
They stopped attacking and stared at Shin.
<div>
<div>
"Uzumaki Shin, are you controlling the One-Tail?" the Kazekage asked.
<div>
<div>
"Take a guess. There might be a reward if you get it right," Shin said with a smirk.
<div>
<div>
"The One-Tail is being controlled by the Sharingan. It''s not Uzumaki Shin. But with him here, sealing will be difficult."
<div>
<div>
Chiyo said grimly.
<div>
<div>
To seal the One-Tail, they had to deal with Shin first. That was a problem. Shin''s strength terrified them.
<div>
<div>
They had never imagined they would fear a child.
<div>
<div>
"We have to retrieve the Tailed Beast. And Uzumaki Shin must die." The Kazekage''s eyes hardened.
<div>
<div>
Shin was already this strong at such a young age. In the future, he might even surpass Hashirama Senju.
<div>
<div>
Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, had pacified the world and brought peace to the Shinobi nations.
<div>
<div>
When he was alive, no village dared to act rashly. The First Shinobi World War had only started after his death.
<div>
<div>
If Shin reached that level of power, it would be a disaster, not just for Suna, but for the entire world, including Konoha.
<div>
<div>
No one wanted to be under someone else''s thumb.
<div>
<div>
"We can eliminate him if we work together. Attack! Don''t hold back!"
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage said, looking at Hanzō pointedly.
<div>
<div>
He wasn''t worried about Ebizo and Chiyo; they would definitely attack with full force. But Hanzō was unpredictable.
<div>
<div>
"Of course."
<div>
<div>
Hanzō''s eyes gleamed with murderous intent. he had almost killed him several times. He hated Shin.
<div>
<div>
He wouldn''t hesitate to kill him.
<div>
<div>
"You want to kill me? How arrogant."
<div>
<div>
Shin chuckled. They were underestimating him.
<div>
<div>
"You''re the arrogant one, Uzumaki Shin. You''re just a child. How can you act recklessly?"
<div>
<div>
Chiyo sneered.
<div>
<div>
"Old hag, you couldn''t even protect your own son. Shut up."
<div>
<div>
Shin''s words enraged Chiyo.
<div>
<div>
"Uzumaki Shin, I''ll kill you!"
<div>
<div>
She charged at Shin. Ebizo couldn''t stop her, so he followed, afraid for his sister.
<div>
<div>
"Poor Chiyo, you''ve lost your family, puppets. Reduced to fighting with your own hands?"
<div>
<div>
Shin drew his Kusanagi sword and unleashed an incredibly fast slash, cutting through the Iron Sand cage holding Shukaku.
<div>
<div>
Shukaku roared and escaped. Under Shin''s control, it formed a Tailed Beast Bomb.
<div>
<div>
Yin and Yang Chakra mixed in a ratio of 2:8, forming a powerful sphere that shot towards the Suna camp.
<div>
<div>
The Suna Shinobi had retreated, but destroying their camp would still be a major blow.
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage paled. He wouldn''t try to block a Tailed Beast Bomb.
<div>
<div>
Even his strongest Iron Sand defense would struggle to withstand it.
<div>
<div>
The Tailed Beast Bomb was a devastating attack, more powerful than most S-rank Jutsu. Only an idiot would try to block it head-on.
<div>
<div>
BOOM!
<div>
<div>
The Suna camp was obliterated. The supplies they hadn''t been able to take with them were also destroyed.
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage''s eyes were bloodshot. Supplies were precious, especially to Suna, which was poorer than Konoha. Losing those supplies would be a major setback.
