Chapter 1252 - 128: Pacification (Part 3)

Shukaku laughed loudly, raising his arm, then quickly swung toward Rasa's location.

Boom!

The earth exploded, countless stones flying everywhere.

The entire ground became a mess, chaotic under Shukaku's casual strike.

Rasa held Shouju and Kankuro in his arms, quickly escaping Shukaku's attack range.

"Haha, don't think of escaping!"

If he can't kill Rasa, then Gaara's will would come out again to disturb him.

Although unwilling to admit it, once the Jinchuriki fights to the death with it, it would make things worse.

It no longer wants to return to that dark, confined cage with no light or fresh air.

For this, he must kill Rasa at the source.

Only by killing Rasa, Gaara will truly follow its will, taking it as the lead, to live a free and secluded life in some uninhabited place.

Shukaku has already started fantasizing about such a beautiful life.

Freedom, a feeling it hasn't had in almost a hundred years.

Since the Warring States Era, it has always been sealed by ninjas in the temple of the Land of Wind, later controlled by Hidden Sand Village.

Among all Tailed Beasts, it has been enslaved by ninjas the longest.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Every step Shukaku took caused the ground to crack like an earthquake, with thick dust spreading from the center of Hidden Sand Village.

Buildings encountered were torn apart by Shukaku's claws, Hidden Sand Ninja attacking from both sides and behind were easily swept away by its tail.

The insignificance of ninja was evident.

Although Shukaku knows there are ninjas that can deal with it, such ninjas are too few.

Its current target is the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

To kill this man.

"Take them to a safe place."

Rasa reached a safe platform, placing down the frightened Shouju and Kankuro in his arms, instructing the accompanying Anbu.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama."

As Rasa's direct unit, they were naturally his trusted subordinates, forming a solid fortress to stabilize his position.

The Anbu quickly carried Shouju and Kankuro in their arms, leaving the battlefield without turning back.

Rasa stared at Shukaku approaching, determined to make him die.

Rasa suddenly felt his heart becoming incredibly calm.

Calmer than ever.

Scanning around, the surroundings were spacious enough, with few buildings, even if a battle occurs, losses could be minimized.

"Here should be fine."

Rasa jumped down from the rooftop, standing on the sandy, wind-swept ground, bending his body, slamming his hands on the ground.

The ground shook loudly.

Shukaku's charge was briefly hindered, stopping during the run.

The ground twisted and rolled, Shukaku's footing unstable, quickly sinking into the earth.

The once solid road disappeared, turning into a golden sand quagmire.

"Playing these boring tricks again, Rasa!"

As an old rival, Shukaku naturally knew the restraining power of this move against Tailed Beasts.

Because of the Tailed Beasts' heavy body, this swamp-like move can have unexpected strong effects.

In the past, it had been caught by Rasa's move more than once.

Compared to humans, Tailed Beasts' fighting style is more open and aggressive, not requiring much force.

"Wind Style: Air Refining Bullet!"

Shukaku opened his mouth, gathering Chakra directly without sealing.

A huge wind ball spewed from Shukaku's mouth, as large as a house.

The air tearing sound was extremely sharp, when the wind ball was shot, the surrounding Hidden Sand Ninja couldn't help but cover their ears.

Bang!

The wind ball hit the Gold Sand condensed wall.

However, the destructive power of the wind ball was too astonishing, the Gold Sand wall resisted for a moment before being blasted apart.

Rasa flipped backward, avoiding the attack.

As a result, the Gold Sand quagmire stopped sinking Shukaku.

Unwilling to concede, Shukaku quickly rolled its tail toward a distant place and pulled an electric pole from the ground.

Its tail forcefully swung, the electric pole thrown by Shukaku like a javelin, flying toward Rasa.

Rasa hurriedly sealed, massive amounts of Gold Sand gathered, forming an even thicker sand wall, blocking the electric pole.

Rasa had no time to catch his breath, as wind balls exploded directly on the Gold Sand wall.

The violent storm blew Rasa away, rolling him into the distance.

Shukaku still did not give up its attack, continuously spewing wind balls from its mouth, each equivalent to a B-level destructive Ninja Technique, incessantly released.

Though this consumes a large amount of Chakra, Tailed Beasts have too many advantages over humans.

First is the Immortal Body.

Second is the terrifying Chakra Amount humans can't reach.

Such a continuous offensive, on other ninjas might seem wasteful, but for Shukaku, the consumption is trivial.

Looking at the frantic Hidden Sand Ninja fighting its wind balls, Shukaku's evil laughter happily resounded again, a sense of revenge successful.

One wind ball, one house turned to dust.

Uncertain how many wind balls were shot, the Hidden Sand Ninja's energy was severely consumed, while Shukaku remained full of spirit.

That little Chakra consumption was practically nothing.

Moreover, those wind balls blasted out destroyed many of Hidden Sand's buildings.

Watching, the Hidden Sand Ninja's hearts were bleeding.
