Asuka suddenly suggested: "Shuichi, take me with you, let's seal him together!"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "If it was before, maybe it could be possible, but now the One-Tail and the Jinchuriki are working together, it's almost like a perfect Jinchuriki."
Asuka immediately thought of the sealing technique that had blocked her with the Adamantine Sealing Chain before.
Uchiha Shisui suddenly said: "Shuichi, what about me?"
"Although the One-Tail will be able to get rid of the genjutsu quickly because of the Jinchuriki, if my spirit invades his body through Shukaku and affects the Jinchuriki as well, it should be able to buy some time."
Hoshita Shuichi was shocked when he heard this. This was exactly the way that the masked Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage.
At this moment, above Shukaku's head, Bunpuku's body slowly rose up, revealing his upper body.
Hoshita Shuichi's eyes narrowed: "This situation looks very similar to Gaara's, but it also seems different... That's right, now their status is almost the same as the perfect Jinchuriki, and they can fully share power. There is no need for the Jinchuriki to sleep to release Shukaku's power."
Thinking of Hoshita Shuichi: "Then give it a try!"
"Shisui, prioritize controlling the Jinchuriki. This monk is not simple and his sealing technique is very powerful."
Uchiha Shisui nodded seriously.
The next moment, Hoshita Shuichi appeared above Shukaku with Asuka and Uchiha Shisui at the same time.
"Go to hell!"
Shukaku let out a long roar, raised his sharp claws and grabbed down, and swept his tail towards Hoshita Shuichi and the other two.
"Be honest!"
At this moment, Asuka showed a style completely different from her usual weakness. The diamond chain whistled and tied up Shukaku's tail.
At the same time, Hoshita Shuichi's Netherworld Fire Chain entangled and blocked Shukaku's limbs.
Uchiha Shisui happened to meet the eyes of Monk Bunfuku, and the Sharingan illusion was instantly activated. Monk Bunfuku, who originally wanted to use the sealing technique, was stunned.
"Damn Sharingan, hey, old monk, wake up!"
Shukaku shouted, but the next moment, his voice stopped abruptly as he was fixed by Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.
"good!"
Hoshita Shuichi showed a look of joy, and three chains pierced into Shukaku's body one after another, extracting chakra frantically.
On the other side, Chiyo shouted at Ebizo and others: "You stop the people from Konoha, I will go to help the Jinchuriki!"
As he spoke, he leaped away, running at high speed while taking out a scroll, unfolding it and removing the seal.
In an instant, puppets formed around Chiyo.
The Ten Kinmatsu!
This is the most powerful puppet in the Suna Village, and even in the entire ninja world.
With a flick of his ten fingers, the puppet flew with a whistling sound, and flew straight to Shukaku's head, one step ahead of Chiyo.
Orochimaru, who saw this scene, also ordered other Konoha ninjas to kill the Suna Ninjas, while he himself summoned ten thousand snakes, stood on top of the snakes, and let the snakes swim at high speed, rushing towards Chiyo.
On the contrary, Gamabunta could only watch at this moment.
The scale of his ninjutsu is too large, and one blast would affect Hoshita Shuichi and others.
If we help Konoha, it might delay the process of picking up Hoshita Shuichi and the other two.
However, seeing the three people who subdued Shukaku and Jinchuriki in an instant, Gamabunta couldn't help but be secretly shocked: "Are the young people nowadays so powerful?"
"It seems that this disciple of Minato is even more powerful than him!"
"but..."
Gamabunta looked at Orochimaru and Manda: "It's too late for that stinky snake..."
Chiyo was much closer to Shukaku, and even though the Mana snakes were moving very fast, they couldn't catch up with him. Chiyo had already reached Shukaku's head.
The female puppet of the Chikamatsu Ten Clan brandished a broadsword and rushed straight towards Asuka. There were also three puppets standing in a V-shape, with their hands forming seals, aiming at Hoshita Shuichi and the other two.
There were two more puppets, one with a lock and one with a sickle, heading straight for Hoshita Shuichi.
Asuka only locked one of Shukaku's tails, and still had some strength left. Three chains immediately whizzed out, one chain stopped the big sword girl puppet, and two chains stopped the two puppets rushing towards Hoshita Shuichi.
Uchiha Shisui had already completed the hand seals, and opened his mouth to spray a huge fireball at the three puppets that were performing ninjutsu.
The three treasures are sucked down!
The wind blew back violently, and a terrible suction force enveloped Hoshita Shuichi and the other two.
And it's not just suction, there's also turbulent stirring and terrible wind pressure.
Uchiha Shisui's fireball, which was enhanced by the curse seal, collapsed under this force, and then was quickly extinguished by the wind pressure.
Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka had chains wrapped around Shukaku and were not sucked into the storm, but Uchiha Shisui was unable to control his body.
"The key is the puppeteer!"
Uchiha Shisui tried his best to control his body and looked at Chiyo.
But the next moment, his view was blocked by the puppet next to Chiyo.
"Sister Asuka!"
Hoshita Shuichi shouted softly, and Asuka understood instantly. She retracted the Adamantine Sealing Chain that was wrapped around Shukaku's tail and wrapped it around Uchiha Shisui's body.
The next moment, the three people disappeared from above Shukaku's head and returned to above Gamabunta's head.
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui groaned and covered his eyes with his right hand.
Hoshita Shuichi was shocked: "Shisui!"
"fine!"
Uchiha Shisui raised his hand: "The tailed beasts and the Jinchuriki broke free from control."
"Go to hell, bastard!"
Shukaku's furious voice sounded, and a training bullet spurted out, but was blocked by Gamabunta who was prepared.
"Don't get entangled with them. Let's retreat to the Wind Country first. It will be more advantageous for us to fight there."
Monk Bunpuku persuaded.
Shukaku snorted reluctantly: "Then let them live a little longer. When we reach the desert, we must bury them all!"
After saying that, Shukaku leaped back, and Ebizo immediately led the Suna Ninja to evacuate.
Because he was afraid of Shukaku, Orochimaru did not let the Konoha ninjas pursue immediately.
"I didn't expect it to be like this...Bunpukuku-san, the first One-Tail Jinchuriki, is indeed different."
Sighing inwardly, Hoshita Shuichi shouted, "Bunta!"
"clear!"
Gamabunta immediately jumped up and chased after Shukaku.
However, the retreating Suna Ninjas actually stopped and turned around to perform Wind Release Ninjutsu to stop Gamabunta from chasing Shukaku, and Shukaku also turned around to attack.
At this moment, Shukaku actually cooperated well with Chiyo and other Suna Ninjas, taking turns to cover the retreat.
Not to mention Uchiha Shisui, Asuka, and Orochimaru, even Hoshita Shuichi was shocked.
"The monk who shares blessings!"
Hoshita Shuichi guessed that this was a key person.
An idea immediately came to his mind, which was to use Flying Thunder God to attack the monk Bunfuku above Shukaku's head, so that the Suna Ninja would temporarily lose his tailed beast.
But this thought was immediately suppressed.
By now, Bunfuku and Shukaku must have been prepared, and there is also Chiyo nearby.
"My knowledge of this Bunpuku is almost blank, except for his sealing technique."
"But being able to suppress a beast for so many years is definitely not simple..."
"Besides, I can't seize Shukaku now. Because even if I seize it, I'm afraid that Sarutobi Hiruzen will send it back in the end, so there's no need to take the risk."
Countless thoughts surged in Hoshita Shuichi's mind, but he did not launch another surprise attack. He just chased after them with Orochimaru and the others, forcing the Suna Ninja to retreat continuously.
A part of Shukaku's chakra has been taken away, that's enough!
Konoha chased all the way and the Suna Ninja retreated all the way, from morning to noon, and then to afternoon. The Suna Ninja finally retreated into the Wind Country, while Hoshita Shuichi and others stopped at the border between the River Country and the Wind Country, and the two sides confronted each other again.
At this time, the number of Suna Ninjas had dropped sharply to less than two hundred.
There is no doubt that this was a great defeat for the Suna Ninja!
But for Konoha it was a great victory. Although they did not completely annihilate the Suna Ninja, they also ate up most of the Suna Ninja's forces with minimal losses and completely expelled the Suna Ninja from the River Kingdom.
Next, as long as the Suna Ninjas are kept out of the River Country, the Daimyo of the River Country, after seeing Konoha's muscles, will have to cooperate with Konoha even if he doesn't want to, and hand over all the tasks to Konoha.
Not only that, the River Kingdom will also cooperate with the Fire Kingdom in trade, especially those iron mines that have been discovered.
The Daimyo of the Fire Country, the nobles and ministers of the Fire Country will also benefit from this, so they will fully support Konoha and provide more military funds.
This is the interest hidden behind protecting our homeland.
Standing above Gamabunta, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but weigh this war in his mind.
Meanwhile, Shukaku, who was lying comfortably on the sand and enjoying the sun, felt that he had done it. He stared at Hoshita Shuichi and the others fiercely and shouted, "Stinky Toad!"
"And that annoying little devil with those disgusting red eyes, come here and die!"
"I'm going to bury you all in the sand today!"
Before, his body had shrunk due to the extraction of chakra by Hoshita Shuichi, but now it has recovered quickly.
"You filthy raccoon cat!"
Gamabunta grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand and said sarcastically, "Haha, you were really embarrassed just now!"
"You damn toad, if it weren't for that brat, I would have killed you long ago!"
"If you dare to come over now, I will let you know how powerful I am!"
Shukaku stretched out his claws in a provocative gesture.
Gamabunta narrowed his eyes, then looked up at Hoshita Shuichi above his head and said, "Let's go teach this stinky cat a lesson together!"
If he went alone, he would be at a disadvantage in this environment.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Bunta, there is no need to be angry with a defeated general."
"If it wasn't for Chiyo, we would have taken him out before."
Shukaku was furious when he heard this: "Damn little brat!"
"I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
After saying this, he gathered chakra in his mouth and a Tailed Beast Bomb quickly formed.
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Shukaku, all your attacks are useless in front of me."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand with his palm facing outward. The talisman formula immediately spread rapidly from his palm outward. The Tailed Beast Bomb that had plowed a groove in the sand suddenly sank into the slightly distorted space and time bit by bit.
At this time, Monk Fu's expression changed slightly, and his body immediately sank into Shukaku's body.
The next moment, the Tailed Beast Bomb appeared and hit Shukaku's own head.
Boom!
The terrifying light enveloped Shukaku, and the Suna Ninjas were stunned, then retreated one after another under Chiyo's shout.
Sure enough, a sandstorm soon swept in.
Watching this scene, Gamabunta raised his hand to cover his eyes, feeling very relieved: "Shukaku is really an idiot!"
And many Konoha ninjas also cheered.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at the tall figure of Hoshita Shuichi, and couldn't help but look forward to it: "At this age... the future is really exciting!"
Looking at Shukaku where the light had faded, I saw only sand flying down. It seemed that Shukaku was fine except that his body had become smaller.
"Is this the sand body? How interesting!"
Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.
"asshole!"
"hateful..."
Shukaku groaned in pain, staring at Hoshita Shuichi with his eyes fixed, his heart full of fear.
Monk Bunpuku also appeared again soon after.
Shukaku couldn't help but complain: "Why didn't you remind me?"
Bunpuku did not argue, but said: "This Hoshita Shuichi's instant body technique belongs to the space-time ninjutsu. Not only can he use the kunai to transfer, he should have left a mark on you before, and this mark is probably difficult to remove."
Shukaku's pupils shrank: "In other words... this guy can appear on my body at any time?"
Monk Bunpuku nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case."
"hateful..."
Shukaku couldn't help but get anxious: "Is there no way to get rid of it?"
Bunpuku said calmly: "Your sand body has already been shed once, but it is obviously useless."
"This mark is probably similar to summoning Illusion. Even if you die with the Jinchūriki and then resurrect, there should be no way to remove it."
"So, be very careful with this young man and don't treat him the way you did just now."
Shukaku's eyes moved and fell on Orochimaru and other Konoha ninjas: "Is that so..."
"Being targeted? Haha..."
Orochimaru felt Shukaku's gaze, and a cold and terrifying aura suddenly emerged from his body.
Shukaku also felt it and paused: "That guy... feels different too, he doesn't look like a ninja at all."
"Like a disgusting poisonous snake!"
"I really don't like his look."
After saying that, he spit out a practice bullet and threw it over.
"Prepare for Earth Release Ninjutsu!"
The jonin of Konoha shouted loudly.
Orochimaru bit his thumbs on both of his hands at the same time, then pressed his palms to the ground.
The art of summoning spirits, triple Rashomon!
Ancient, strange and majestic portals rose from the ground and lined up in front of Orochimaru.
The next moment, the air-launching bullet arrived, instantly piercing through the first layer of Rashomon, and then exploded in the second layer, forming a terrifying airflow pouring down to both sides.
"It seems to be far inferior to the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Orochimaru stepped out from behind the portal.
Many Konoha ninjas behind also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Hoshita Shuichi is no exception.
Liankongdan is not the Tailed Beast Bomb.
However, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but think of the difficulty of the tailed beasts of the dance master Uchiha Madara. The tailed beast jade plus the sword of Susanoo were exactly the same as the Wind Release Rasengan shuriken, and even the first generation's five-level Rashomon could not block it.
"Gamabunta, I'm sorry to bother you this time, go back and rest first!"
After collecting his thoughts, Hoshita Shuichi said to Gamabunta under him.
Gamabunta nodded: "If you need me, you can always summon me!"
After saying this, the huge body disappeared with a bang.
After landing on the ground, he glanced at the Suna Ninja, and then Hoshita Shuichi and the other two returned to Orochimaru's side.
"Lord Orochimaru, it looks like we need to retreat some distance."
Hoshita Shuichi suggested.
Orochimaru nodded. The ability of the tailed beast was indeed terrifying. The farther the distance, the more time they had to react.
Konoha retreated, and the Suna Ninja also retreated again immediately.
They have to retreat to the nearest town for rest and recuperation. The losses this time are too great. Even with Shukaku, with the current number of people, they are unable to compete with Konoha.
Although Shukaku holds a grudge and is reluctant, he considers that without the cooperation of the Suna Ninja, he will most likely be killed by the people of Konoha, so he can only return to Bunfuku's body and evacuate with them.
After watching Shukaku disappear and the Suna Ninja leave, Hoshita Shuichi, Asuka, and Uchiha Shisui retreated to the camp set by Orochimaru.
At this time, Orochimaru was writing a combat report, and the situation here obviously had to be reported to Utane Koharu as soon as possible.
This small number of people cannot stop the counterattack of the Suna Ninja.
Supplies are also extremely important! Not only food, but also various ninja tools, which were all used up in the battle.
When Orochimaru finished writing, Hoshita Shuichi asked, "Do you need me to go there?"
Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Use Shadow Clone!"
We must guard against a sudden attack from the Suna Village.
