Chapter 61: Raid on Gaara, Shukaku, You Are Far Worse Than Nine Tails

Senju Tobirama remarked, "This evil kid, if he really masters the power of the Tailed Beast, will be trouble!"

Rasa snorted, "He's seeking his own death! Uchiha Sasuke is strong, but he's nothing compared to Shukaku in Gaara's body!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "I'm very curious to see what happens next. It would be quite interesting if Shukaku appears directly in the Forest of Death."

Ohnoki mused, "With the sealing techniques of Sunagakure, this could indeed be possible!"

Hatake Kakashi warned, "It's too reckless. The strength of a Tailed Beast is not so easily countered!"

If Sasuke truly provokes Shukaku in the other world, events will escalate rapidly. Even with Sasuke's strength, he will be powerless against the Tailed Beast.

The members of the seventh and third squads were on their way to find Gaara.

Suddenly, Sasuke stopped, his brows furrowed as his gaze darted around.

"What's wrong? Are you going to give up?" Neji asked as he paused.

It would be better if they didn't encounter the One-Tail Doublechūriki!

"No... something feels off," Sasuke said with a frown. "Look closely around. Do you notice anything unusual?"

The feeling of being watched that he sensed outside the examination room had returned. It was like being targeted by a ferocious lion, but he couldn't identify the source of this sensation.

"Didn't find anything? There are no other candidates nearby," Neji commented after a brief scan of the area.

"Zero. There are no other humans within a radius of one kilometer," the sensor report confirmed.

Some signs of animals such as beasts, birds, and a few peculiar traces were observed, but this was normal for the Forest of Death.

"Forget it, let's continue our search for Gaara," Sasuke decided after shaking his head.

He tried to calm his emotions and eventually noticed that the unsettling feeling had vanished once more.

"Strange... could it have been an illusion?" Sasuke pondered, growing more doubtful.

Then Neji announced abruptly, "I found it! There's a strong Chakra reaction up ahead! Those three, along with another team, seem to have been attacked by the Sand Shinobi."

Sasuke nodded, asked for direction, and instructed, "Head over there immediately. You can leave now."

Neji took one last look at Sasuke, didn't say anything more, and left with Rock Lee over his shoulder, taking Tenten with him.

A clever person headed for their doom wouldn't be swayed by a few words. Besides, Neji had his own teammate to look after. Their next step was to gather scrolls and then get Rock Lee to the central tower for his leg injury.

Looking in the direction where Gaara and the others were, Sasuke pondered for a moment then said, "Sakura, Naruto, it could get dangerous soon. Don't follow me. Stay far back and hide."

Sakura naturally complied with Sasuke's instructions.

Naruto protested, "You guys are looking down on me again! My strength is already very powerful!"

"This isn't about strength," Sasuke replied with a roll of his eyes. "This is about tactics. We can't reveal all our combat power. Naruto, you are strong, and you'll be needed to intervene if I'm in danger. Save your move for then."

"Really?" Naruto looked pleased. "Haha, you do have some vision! Don't worry, I'll cover you!"

Sasuke secretly smiled at this. Having been a teammate with Naruto for a while, he had come to understand how to handle him. Flattery worked since Naruto wasn't the sharpest, and he was easy to manage.

Uzumaki Naruto thought, "??? Are you lying to me? Damn Sasuke, I thought he was sincere!"

Uchiha Sasuke hoped his tactic would keep Naruto out of trouble.

Hatake Kakashi mused to himself, "Sasuke, don't underestimate Naruto. The skill difference between them isn't significant, and Naruto might soon catch up to you..."

Naruto and Sakura hid about one kilometer away while Sasuke proceeded alone towards Gaara.

As Sasuke drew closer, he could see Gaara and the others. They had just dealt with a team, leaving behind a stark scent of blood.

Sasuke's Sharingan activated, his body electrified with heightened readiness, and he charged towards Gaara like a bolt of lightning.

In a flash, he was in front of Gaara's trio.

Before Kankuro could say a word, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as Sasuke's kick sent him flying.

A well-prepared Great Fireball was launched at Temari, who narrowly dodged it in time.

Easily overpowering two of them, Sasuke held a kunai to Gaara's neck. The sand of Gaara's defense reacted belatedly to the sudden threat.

Rock Lee exclaimed, "What speed!"

Hyuga Neji observed, "Much faster than when you fought Gaara before, Lee!"

Luo Sha was in disbelief, "Gaara and his team were successfully ambushed like this?!"

He couldn't believe his eyes.

The strength of my three children has completely surpassed the Chunin level.

Needless to say, Gaara; Temari's strength is already comparable to a high Chunin, only Kankuro's strength is slightly inferior.

But those three, standing together, were actually overpowered by Uchiha Sasuke in an instant!

Kankuro gets kicked.

Temari is forced to retreat.

Gaara has been hijacked.

Hatake Kakashi said, "Sasuke from another world seems to have surpassed me as a teacher in Lightning Style stimulation."

The mood is a little complicated.

Sasuke learned the Lightning Style stimulation method for a few months at most, yet it has surpassed my many years of accumulation!

Fourth Raikage exclaimed, "Hey! The more I look at it, the more I feel uncomfortable. Why does such a Lightning Style genius belong to Konoha? Why not to our Cloud Shinobi!"

Orochimaru noted, "Also, Sasuke started sprinting after some distance."

"Damn it, let go of Gaara!"

Temari found out what happened.

In the blink of an eye, someone unexpectedly attacked them and successfully hijacked Gaara!

"I advise you not to act rashly."

Kunai in Sasuke's hand gestures twice on Gaara's neck.

Looking at the sand slowly coming towards him, Sasuke slapped it casually to disperse the sand.

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

Gaara's cold voice sounded, and her pupils trembled violently, full of killing intent.

The target I wanted to kill actually dared to take the initiative to attack me!

"Don't play with your little sand, the speed is so slow, who are you trying to fool?"

Sasuke watched the surrounding sand float over again and continued to scatter.

Gaara watched helplessly as her absolute defense was as fragile as paper in front of the opponent.

"Well, let me see, you guys have already collected the Earth Coiling Axis. It's not bad, it's worthy of praise. Then I'll keep it for you first."

Sasuke looks at Gaara's pocket and puts away the two scrolls hidden in it.

And at the same time.

Sasuke held Kunai against Gaara's neck and quietly released a little illusion Chakra.

Tactile Illusion!

Through physical contact, the illusion can be successfully released even without the need for the Sharingan to look at each other.

The next moment.

Sasuke appeared in Gaara's sealed space.

While paying attention to the situation outside, Sasuke began to check in the sealed space.

There is more misty Chakra in this area than in Naruto's sealed space.

Ahead, inside the huge gloomy prison, lay a huge and fat brown-yellow civet-cat-like behemoth.

Is this Sunagakure's One Tail Shukaku?

Sasuke couldn't help frowning.

It feels far worse than the Nine Tails in Naruto.

Although he can also feel Shukaku's huge amount of Chakra, it doesn't make his soul tremble almost like the Nine Tails.

Nine Tails laughed, "Pfft ha ha ha ha! This annoying brat is right, that guy Shukaku is not qualified to compare with me!"

One Tail retorted, "Damn Kurama! Damn Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Little ghost, come closer, come over and let me kill you!"

Shukaku's sharp voice echoed in the mental space.

Sasuke stopped, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "I see, it seems that Sunagakure's sealing technique is not very good, so although One Tail's Chakra is far inferior to that of Nine Tails, more Chakra has penetrated through the seal."

"You want me to go there... Well, it should be because the seal is relatively weak, so you could potentially harm my spirit that sneaked in?"

Opposite Shukaku, the beast was stunned.

This brat, you can see it like that?

...Wait! Shukaku suddenly realized there was something very unpleasant in Sasuke's words, "Damn kid, who do you think is inferior to Nine Tails? Do you want to die?!"

Shukaku immediately became enraged.

More Chakra infiltrated through the dark prison!

Sasuke thoughtfully observed this.

It seems that when the Tailed Beast is provoked, the Chakra will seep out a little.

However... One Tail's penetration is too powerful...

Even though it is a Tailed Beast with only one tail, its Chakra actually infiltrates better than the Nine Tails!

How poorly done is Sunagakure's seal!

Orochimaru commented, "As expected of Sasuke, he easily guessed the situation of Sunagakure's seal technique."

Onoki inquired, "I heard that the Doublechuriki of One Tail dare not sleep at all because once they do, Shukaku might take over their spirit through the seal, Kazekage, is that true?"

Fourth Raikage noted, "If you don't answer, the rumor is true."

One Tail shouted, "Damn Uchiha Sasuke! How dare you call me a normal Tailed Beast?!"

Nine Tails retorted, "It's really ordinary, just a piece of garbage with only one tail."

One Tail yelled back, "You bastard stinky fox!"

Sasuke activated the Sharingan's power, attempting to control the misty Chakra before him.

Successful!

And... it's easier than last time!

Which means that controlling the Nine Tails' Chakra last time was no accident.

It seems that the Sharingan does have a certain relationship with the Tailed Beasts. The legend that Sharingan can control the Tailed Beast is probably true.

However, if you want to control a complete Tailed Beast, the requirement for Sharingan's power should be higher.

"Well, goodbye, little civet cat, we will meet again someday in the future."

Sasuke snapped his fingers and exited One Tail's sealed space.

I hope that day won't be too far away.
