Uehara looked at Gaara in surprise.
In this state, half of Gaara’s body was like Shukaku. It was equivalent to the half-tailed animalization of other Bijuu.
Gaara slowly raised his head and stared at Uehara. He suddenly lifted the paws of the other half of his body towards Uehara!
“Sabaku Rō!” (Sand Prison)
With a loud shout, Uehara felt a shadow stretching towards his back.
A group of yellow sand gathered in the air, forming an enormous claw, suddenly grabbing at Uehara!
“Don’t irritate people you can’t afford to…”
Gaara and Shukaku’s mixed voices rang out, his claws suddenly tightened, as he shouted, “Sabaku Soso!” (Sand Burial)
The sand quickly began to squeeze Uehara!
Gaara likes to use Sand Burial.
With the pressure from the yellow sand, the captured ninja would be instantly crushed, turning into a cloud of blood that seeped into the yellow sand, turning the sand red.
Gaara finally felt that he was winning, and a morbid smile appeared on his face, “Ahahahaha… die! Bastard!”
At this moment, a golden light suddenly shined!
The yellow sand restricting Uehara in the sky disintegrated, raining down as they flew away. The gorgeous golden light dazzled the people’s eyes.
Uehara was standing in the air like a god, with golden chakra lightsabers hovering around him.
“Your sand is too dirty…”
Uehara’s fingers moved slightly, and a golden lightsaber suddenly flew down toward Gaara, dexterously bypassing the Suna no Tate’s defense (Sand Shield).
The golden lightsaber shot through Gaara’s shoulder!
The other golden lightsaber around Uehara followed closely, stabbing Gaara all over.
“Bastard…”
Gaara gritted his teeth and looked at Uehara. Half of his face had morphed into Shukaku’s, which looked terrifying.
Gaara ignored the injuries on his body, held up his fingers firmly, put them on his chest little by little, “Tanuki Neirino Jutsu!” (Feigning Sleep Technique)
When Gaara uttered the last two words, it was like being squeezed out of his throat, and his voice became Shukaku’s.
The yellow sand completely covered Gaara’s body!
Instantly, a huge monster appeared!
Ichibi no Shukaku! (One-tailed Shukaku)
Baki watched nervously and said in a deep voice, “Kazekage-sama, this is not the country of wind if it takes this opportunity to escape…”
“It can’t escape.”
Rasa looked at Shukaku calmly. His gaze stopped on Gaara, who was dozing in the head of Shukaku, and frowned his brow, “Gaara… he still can’t directly use the Bijuu’s Power?”
He was a little displeased with Gaara’s progress.
The previous Jinchuriki had been a perfect Jinchuriki. He could fully exert the power of Shukaku and even suppress its violent nature.
But since Rasa disliked Gaara, Shukaku also disliked the Sunagakure.
Shukaku, who had just appeared, ignored Uehara, shook his tail, and slammed it at Rasa’s position. In his eyes, he was the enemy!
“Bastard!”
Rasa’s face suddenly became sullen, and a cloud of gold sand quickly knocked away Shukaku’s tail, “You can’t even tell who’s the enemy?”
“Huh, huh… Fūton, Renkūdan!” (Wind Release: Air Bullet)
Shukaku spewed out wind ninjutsu. One after another, Air Bullets were released.
Just as Shukaku began to fight Rasa, a purple chakra broadsword slammed onto its head. Shukaku’s huge body suddenly fell to the ground, splashing countless yellow sand!
“Look, what did I say?”
Uehara stopped on Shukaku’s head and even looked at the tall monster on the ground with some playfulness. He chuckled and said, “A cute little civet cat!”
Uehara looked at the flying Rasa and grinned. He said, “Fourth Kazekage, I like pets. Is the Sunagakure wording to sell me this little civet cat as a pet? I might spare your lives!”
Today’s harvest was really fruitful.
Unexpectedly, Gaara had used the Feigning Sleep Technique to summon Shukaku.
The Ichibi’s mission shouldn’t be missed.
If Rasa stole his mission, Uehara would not mind. He just had to wait a few more years to take the Konoha Chunin exam!
Rasa looked at Uehara angrily. But before he spoke, Shukaku, on the ground, became irritated by Uehara’s words.
“What did you say?”
Shukaku stood up. Its claws split instantly and slammed towards Uehara. Moving as fast as its wind ninjutsu!
Uehara swung his purple broadsword and deflected the flying claws. His current life energy was incredibly high now.
Uehara threw out his Chakra Broadsword and manipulated it, nailing down Shukaku!
Watching Shukaku roar out in pain, Uehara put the finger on his lips, “Hush, a misbehaving little civet cat, will be abandoned…”
“…”
The anger on Shukaku’s face grew stronger!
He was the first to be thrown into the Land of Wind by the Sage of the Six Paths. When the Sage of the Six Paths left the Land of Wind, Kyuubi laughed at him, but later, he was thrown into the Land of Fire.
“Boy… I’ll tear you apart!”
“As a pet, you must learn to be smart.”
When Uehara was talking, his eyes changed, and his hands pointed at Shukaku. Chakra quickly gathered and entered Shukaku’s brain, “Wordless Fear!”
Wordless Fear created a nightmare using Chakra.
Over the next two seconds, Shukaku would experience the thing he feared most. It would buy Uehara enough time to find a way to defeat it.
Rasa looked at Uehara in surprise. After releasing Wordless Fear, Shukaku quickly fell into a deep sleep, and his eyes suddenly became fiery!
His technique could suppress a Bijuu!
If they had this technique, the Sunagakure would be able to quickly suppress the violent Shukaku at no cost and would never have to worry about the Jinchuriki rampaging again.
Two seconds later.
Shukaku woke up from his nightmare and suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar towards the sky, “Kyuubi, you bastard, I’ll tear you apart sooner or later…”
Boom!
Profound meaning! Shadow Dash!
Uehara’s body slammed into Shukaku’s body, knocking it to the ground without any resistance. Since Gaara’s head touched the ground, he regained consciousness causing Shukaku’s figure to gradually shrink back into Gaara’s body.
Uehara looked at Gaara with a harmless smile on his face and gently squeezed his hand.
