Chapter 286 Holding Sōseki’s Thigh

In this regard, Shukaku is very proud.

Like other Bijū when they encountered this situation, except that Yonbi can turn its body into lava so that the enemy can't stand on the top of its head, most of the other Bijū can only clumsily pat their heads with their claws. Not to mention the inefficiency, it looks stupid.

Thinking of this, Shukaku said with a loud laugh, "So, this is the benefit of learning! Hmph, this sir is different from those idiots!"

Shukaku has the least chakra. Moreover, its chakra is not even comparable to some monster-level humans.

Especially when compared with a certain fox, it is so much worse!

That's why it learned human's hand seals.

'When did they tanuki is inferior to fox? Six Paths old man, that damned fox lover!'

Shukaku cried and cried, and then it realized that something was wrong.

No matter how sentimental it is, it is impossible for it to cry in battle!

'Also, why is there no more voice after this sir uses Drilling Air Bullet? Was that human brat killed by it directly?'

Thinking of this, a flash of lightning flashed through its mind.

'Ah, it's Genjutsu! Damn, when is it?'

Genjutsu, Kai!

The moment it broke away from Genjutsu, pain came in waves like a tide.

Only then did Shukaku realize that in just a few seconds, its body was covered in bruises.

The physical pain, coupled with the tricks in Genjutsu, made Shukaku more and more furious.

"Damn brat, I want you to pay for it..." Shukaku said in shame and anger, and then froze.

It saw the opponent holding a small sun-like chakra light ball high, and the terrifying might contained in it made it a little frightened.

"Oh? You managed to get out of the Genjutsu? Then, you can feel the second gift I have prepared for you!" Sōseki smiled and threw the Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan in his hand at Shukaku At the moment it exploded, he quickly escaped from the crime scene with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Fuc+#%" Shukaku only had time to say a word, and then it was swallowed by a terrifying chakra storm.

The sky-piercing beam of light illuminates the night sky, making it looked like the day, and the surging chakra tides converge into a sandstorm, raging wildly in the desert.

Seeing this terrifying scene from the distance, everyone who followed from Sunagakure felt their mouths dry.

"Ha, haha, the battle is really fierce!"

"Are you sure that the battle is fierce? Why do I think that it was Shukaku who was unilaterally beaten?"

"No matter how you say it, Shukaku is still a Bijū, it shouldn't be, right?"

"I hope Shukaku's vitality can be tenacious, otherwise, it will be really troublesome!"

By the time they arrived, Shukaku had fallen on the sand with all four limbs upside down. Its tail had been cut off and Sōseki was pretending to replenish Shukaku with chakra.

"Sorry, I accidentally attacked a little too hard!" Sōseki said apologetically.

In order to collect Chakra in the shortest time, he didn't hold back during the whole process and uses his full strength.

Even in the battle that killed Mizukage, he didn't use this much power.

Everyone swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and the way they looked towards Sōseki is like looking at demon.

They know that Sōseki is very strong, but they didn't expect that in just a few minutes, he beats Ichibi until it was severely injured and nearly died. 'This is no longer a simple strength to can be explained, but instead too exaggerated and outrageous!'

After the shock, they were a little sad and in doubts.

The Ichibi, which they regarded as a treasure, was defeated so easily. So they all thought, 'Does the Jinchūriki still have any meaning as an important combat power of Sunagakure?'

'Instead of working hard and taking various risks, it is better to transfer the effort of nurturing Jinchūriki to holding Sōseki-sama's thigh!' (T/N: Hugging thigh means trying to curry favor with someone else.)

After discarding these messy thoughts, they smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, don't worry, Sōseki-sama, you are doing this for the safety of Sunagakure!"

"Tentatively asking, the Shukaku shouldn't be dead, right?"

Seeing how cautious they are, for fear of offending him, Sōseki smiled and said, "Don't worry, Bijū don't die so easily!"

"Is that so! Then we're relieved." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Then, should I will bring it back to the temple now and re-seal it again?"

"We're grateful if you can do so!"

...

Sunagakure.

In just a few minutes, the turmoil caused by the Bijū's attack has not passed.

But everyone has been told that there is an expert that will deal with the Bijū, and Shukaku has also disappeared, causing their emotions to have stabilized a lot.

However, at this moment, Shukaku's huge body appeared again.

"Aaahhh! The monster is back!"

"Everyone, run!"

"Wait, why is its body upside down?"

Only then did everyone realized, 'The monster should have been defeated, right?'

Compared with these ordinary villagers, the Shinobi present were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether it is Shukaku's weak life aura or the terrifying injuries on its body, it shows that its injuries are very serious.

Although Rasa can also suppress Ichibi in a short time, he relies on gold dust to slow down the sand, just like tying a rope to an animal and dragging it back to the cage.

As for Sōseki, it is equivalent to beating the animal to half-death and then throwing it back into the cage.

The difficulty of the two is naturally self-evident.

In the distance, Karura stood on the balcony watching this scene, and she was extremely shocked in her heart, 'Is this the strength of the Demigod of the Shinobi World? It's really terrifying!'

Temari on her side clapped her palms and cheered, "The bad tanuki has been caught!"

Karura patted her daughter's head and said, "Do you want to be as strong as that big brother?"

Temari asked, "If I become stronger, can I make father less tired?"

Karura was stunned for a moment, and then smiled gently, "Of course you can."

Temari waved her little hand and said, "Then, I'm going to become super awesome too!"

...

The next day, early in the morning.

"Sōseki, I'm sorry!" After the in-depth exchanges last night, Rasa removed the slightly rustic honorific, "I originally invited you to come over for exchange, but I didn't expect to trouble you to help us sealing the Bijū."

"It should be me who apologized." Sōseki also apologized, "If it wasn't for me to pulling Rasa-senpai to have a talk yesterday, you wouldn't drink so much, and no one would gossip about you."

Although Rasa has saved everyone twice, he is the Kazekage, therefore, for the villagers, this kind of thing is something that he should do.

Now that he did not appear in time at the third time, his reputation suddenly dropped by a lot.

On the contrary, it was Sōseki, saved them once as an outsider who has won a very high praise.

In one night, he got another nickname, which was "Friend of Sunagakure".

"It's fine, it's because my will is not firm enough." To say that he is depressed, that's for sure, but Rasa didn't think much about it. After all, Sōseki didn't do anything last night, on the contrary, it was he himself who kept talking vigorously.

"Stop talking about these depressing things. Let's go, I will take you to our Sunagakure's Academy!"
