"Heh! Of course, we won't fight Tsunade-hime and the others head-on."
Chiyo's lips curled into a cold smirk.
Her sharp eyes glinted with ruthless determination.
"Monk Bunpuku is still in the camp, isn't he?"
"His days are numbered anyway…
So let's have him make one final contribution to our village's future."
Her tone was merciless.
"This time, we will completely release the full power of Shukaku!"
Her voice was chilling.
"That should keep Konoha occupied for a while."
She glanced around the tent.
"Any objections?"
Laughter erupted from Rasa.
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"None at all!"
He shook his head repeatedly.
Then, without another word, he rushed out of the tent.
Within minutes, he had summoned several Jōnin.
He led the Sand Shinobi forces northward at high speed.
The Battle Begins…
The movement of Sand Shinobi did not escape the sharp eyes of Konoha's commanders.
Within half an hour, intelligence arrived at the Konoha camp.
Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately sprang into action.
"That's a lot of troops!"
Jiraiya frowned, deep in thought.
"Are they planning to wipe out Danzo's unit in one strike?"
"Then… how do they plan to stop us?"
His brows furrowed.
Something felt off.
"It doesn't make sense."
At that moment, Uchiha Nanaya's eyes narrowed.
His sharp senses flared.
"Two Kage-level ninjas are heading toward us…"
His voice was steady.
"And they're bringing a monk with them."
Jiraiya and Tsunade stiffened.
"This monk… has an enormous chakra pool!"
Nanaya's eyes gleamed with understanding.
"His chakra is different from the Nine-Tails inside Kushina…
But it still feels the same."
A tailed beast.
Nanaya's lips curled into a smirk.
"So, they're sending a Jinchūriki against us."
The Tailed Beast's Wrath
Tsunade gritted her teeth.
Her eyes darkened.
"I get it now."
Her fist clenched.
"Chiyo is using Shukaku to stall us…
So they can focus all their forces on Danzo."
Her tone was sharp.
"A clever move."
She took a deep breath.
Then, her voice rang out with authority.
"Prepare for battle!"
Her golden eyes flashed.
"We can't let them get too close to our camp!"
Her gaze snapped to Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, go back and rally our troops!
Lead the main force to reinforce Danzo's unit!"
Jiraiya nodded sharply.
"Got it."
He turned on his heel, preparing to leave.
But before he could take a step—
"Wait."
Uchiha Nanaya stopped him.
In an instant, his hand tapped Jiraiya's shoulder.
"SWOOSH!"
A flash of light—
And Jiraiya vanished.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared inside Konoha's camp.
Jiraiya blinked.
"Damn, that's convenient."
He exhaled sharply.
Then, he turned to the assembled troops.
"Let's move out!"
Nanaya vs. Shukaku
Tsunade glanced at Nanaya.
Her eyes filled with concern.
"Can you handle Shukaku alone?"
Nanaya grinned.
"Don't worry, Sensei."
He cracked his knuckles.
"Shukaku won't be able to touch me."
Then, his expression turned playful.
"Besides…"
He flashed a cheeky smile.
"Now that I'll be showing off my true strength…
Sensei, you'll have to protect me from all the jealous ninjas later!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes.
But she couldn't help but laugh.
"Idiot."
With one explosive step, she shot forward.
Her fist shattered the sand beneath her feet.
"Let's go!"
The Beast is Unleashed!
Monk Bunpuku stood motionless.
His palms pressed together in silent prayer.
A calm smile spread across his lips.
"Farewell, Shukaku."
He murmured softly.
"May you one day find a true companion."
A massive surge of chakra erupted.
The ground trembled.
A storm of sand spiraled into the sky.
A monstrous roar echoed through the battlefield.
"JEHEHAHAHA!
FINALLY! I'M FREE!!"
A deep, guttural laugh boomed across the desert.
Shukaku's massive form loomed over the battlefield.
"NO MORE SEALS!
NO MORE CAGES!
I AM FREEEE!"
A chilling wind howled.
But before Shukaku could fully revel in its freedom—
A voice interrupted.
A mocking voice.
"Oh? Feeling sentimental, little Shukaku?"
A figure stood on its head.
Casually.
Arrogantly.
A smirk playing on his lips.
"Didn't think you'd actually care about the monk's death."
"NO WAY!
YOU—?!"
Shukaku froze.
"DAMN YOU!!"
A massive claw slammed toward Nanaya.
"SWOOSH!"
Nanaya vanished.
"Too slow."
He reappeared above.
A glowing Rasengan in his palm.
"Here's a little gift."
His hand swung downward.
"BIG BALL RASENGAN!"
A massive explosion rocked the desert.
Sand erupted in all directions.
Shukaku let out a piercing screech.
But when the dust settled—
Shukaku's rage had only just begun.
