Shukaku's huge body was collapsed by the unstoppable force and fell to the ground.
Although an instant later, it roared furiously, countless gravel surged to repair its head again, and stood up, the huge pain and the burning sensation on its forehead told extremely clearly
Shukaku—the man floating in mid-air did not lie.
He really has the power to kill tailed beasts!
Although for the tailed beasts, death is just the beginning of another new life, for the proud Shukaku, being defeated and killed by humans is an unacceptable thing.
"Practice blank ammunition!"
The terrifying wind pressure rushed out into the distance in the form of a spiral, tearing and twisting the air and swallowing the sound, but there was no one at the location it aimed at.
"Wind Escape·Practice blank bullets!"
Correspondingly, another almost identical blank bullet came from behind, mixed with the aftermath of senjutsu chakra, and rushed towards Shukaku's head again.
Shukaku once again failed to dodge and was hit in the back of the head by a huge missile. If Ichibi's body had not been reinforced with magnetic escape and curse seals, I am afraid that this blow would have seriously injured it, but even so
, Shukaku also felt a stinging pain coming from his head, and the gravel was shot out, and the tragic situation on his head could almost be described as "collapsed porcelain".
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Shukaku let out an angry roar, and the yellow sand in the sky was pulled by his magnetic escape, forming a huge spiral in the air, covering his head to strengthen his defense. At the same time, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were cold and cruel.
Staring at Hinata Yuzuru's figure in the air.
The Yin Yang Chakra was condensed, and the black Tailed Beast Cannon gradually appeared in its mouth. However, what moved faster than it was a hand. Before the Tailed Beast Jade could condense, it pressed down on its open mouth.
On the mouth.
"How can it be...!?"
Shukaku let out a low voice in disbelief.
When the violent tailed beast tama faced Hinata Yuzuru's hand, it strangely began to dissipate on its own, escaping unsteadily and almost exploding in its mouth. Shukaku had to cancel the tailed beast tama.
, and then looked at the other person looking at him calmly.
"Tailed Beast Jade, so that's what it is..."
Hyuga Yuzuru thought about it, and his thoughtful look made Shukaku feel a sense of shame of being underestimated. He roared angrily, and the yellow sand in the sky condensed again, forming a huge wave of sand, heading towards
Hinata Yuzuru drowned and left.
"It seems that your presence is still necessary... It would take a lot of money to buy such a lot of sand from Sunagakure Village."
Hinata Yuzuru's words undoubtedly made Shukaku even more angry, but what frightened Shukaku even more than these was the feeling the opponent gave him when fighting at this moment.
This kind of strange chakra, physical strength that is so arrogant that people can't believe it, and this feeling of... Immortal... This guy gives people a feeling similar to that of the Immortal of Six Paths!
No, not exactly the same...
Shukaku's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty, but what made him feel even more distressed was that facing Hyuga Yuzuru, its attack seemed too 'slow'!
This guy seems to be able to predict the future. Whether he wants to attack with his huge body or use ninjutsu, the opponent can dodge at a faster speed and fight back in a "playing" style.
"Kid... who the hell are you!?"
This was the first time Shukaku encountered such a being. He raised his tanuki-like head and looked at Hinata Yuzuru flying high in front of him, staring at him cautiously.
"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hyuga Yuzuru."
After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, he paused and then said: "Shukaku, it's not very polite to call me kid."
"Kid..." Before Shukaku could finish his words, a fist fell hard on its forehead.
"Little devil?" Hinata Yuzuru's voice came to his ears.
No matter how fearful Shukaku was, he was only angry at this moment. How dare you!
"I am going to kill you!!!"
A foot kicked from the other side of the face, and the huge impact made Shukaku's body tilt slightly.
"Kill me?"
Hyuga Yuzuru's whole body was filled with chakra, and there was more and more golden chakra, making a golden outline appear on his body.
"I am Shukaku Ichibi!!!"
Shukaku's mouth flashed with the color of the tailed beast jade again.
"One-tailed Shukaku, right?" Another iron fist hit the side of the face.
Shukaku's face was hit with gravel flying everywhere - its body was originally covered in sand armor reinforced with curse seals and magnetic shields, which was exactly the same as Gaara's absolute defense, but at this moment, it was being beaten to the point of crumbling.
But just after this punch, countless gravels shimmered in the air, and suddenly formed a big hand, holding Hinata Yuzuru tightly in it. Countless sands came one after another, Shukaku laughed ecstatically and said:
"Kid! Please beg for mercy now. Uncle Shukaku can still spare your life..."
Before he finished speaking, this time, a huge golden fist as big as its head fell on its head, knocking it down again.
Hyuga Yuzuru floated in the air, and the chakra fist condensed on his side was reabsorbed back into his body.
"Um?"
His questioning voice made Shukaku's black-yellow beast eyes turn red when he was knocked down - he was bullying the tailed beast too much!
It can't be hit, but the opponent has destructive power that is not like that of a human being. Just a punch or a kick can make it feel pain that it has never experienced before.
This bastard!!!
What the hell...
Shukaku raised his head and opened his mouth: "No fight!"
Hinata Yuzuru raised his eyebrows and folded his hands in front of him: "Oh?"
Shukaku, who was a bachelor, didn't get up anymore. He said with a stick in his neck: "It's boring! This kid's body is dragging down my strength. If I use a stronger force, this kid will be dead. Don't you want to see it?"
Will this guy die?"
Hinata Yuzuru descended, reached Shukaku's face, and said leisurely: "Pretending to surrender, do you just want to secretly prepare to use the sealing technique?"
"By the way, your sealing skills are pretty good - just not good enough to deal with me."
As Hinata Yuzuru said, Shukaku couldn't help but widen his eyes. He said in disbelief: "Can you really see the future!?"
"So, now, can you cooperate with me honestly, or should you say non-violence and non-cooperation?" Hinata Yuzuru looked at it with a calm expression.
Shukaku's expression was very human and somewhat gloomy, with a tanuki-cat face on his face, and he squatted on the ground with a look of boredom: "What on earth do you want to do!"
The worst case scenario is that they will be sealed again, or killed and waited for resurrection.
"Make a deal."
Hinata Yuzuru's wings disappeared. He was in sage mode and could fly independently, but the speed may be slower than using wings.
He also sat cross-legged in the air, eye level with Shukaku, looking at the big cat with an unhappy face, and stretched out his hand to touch its head - it was hard and the touch was not good.
I don’t know if Kyuubi will feel better.
Shukaku tilted his head irritably, but he could only hold back his temper. Facing the guy opposite him, his own strength was completely unable to take advantage of him, and he was completely powerless to fight back.
I don’t know if Kyuubi has ever fought with this guy. It would be great if he dealt with that stinky fox like this.
Once it imagined that Kyuubi had also been beaten by this guy, it felt a little better.
"What deal?" Shukaku's voice sounded lackluster.
"I want to study the nature of tailed beasts. It would be best if you could lend me your chakra and cooperate with me in doing some research experiments." Hinata Yuzuru said, and Shukaku soon showed a look of disdain.
It looked at him with a look that I knew: "Then what are you going to give me?"
"relative freedom."
Hinata Yuzuru's words made Ichibi's eyes widen slightly.
Its civet ears were slightly perked up, and it raised its head: "What do you mean?"
"I plan to change the sealing mode of the Jinchuuriki. To be precise, if possible, I do not plan to seal you into someone else's body as I did in the past - if you can control your own power and your body shape, I will
We can even allow you to move freely around Konoha and meet some of your requests that are not excessive."
Shukaku was stunned for a moment by Hinata Yuzuru's words: "Huh!?"
What is this guy... talking about!?
"Tailed beasts are not simply wild beasts - in my opinion, tailed beasts have emotions and reason, and are not natural beings that are opposed to humans.
I hope to find the possibility of tailed beasts and humans coexisting, not just as jinchuriki, but coexisting in the true sense."
Hinata Yuzuru's words made Shukaku fall into deep thought. Its eyes lost the previous irritability and impatience, and it stared at Hinata Yuzuru deeply: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course." Hyuga Yuzuru said calmly: "The current ninja world is not very safe, and there are still ambitious people who hope to use tailed beasts to achieve some ulterior purposes. Before I deal with these enemies, I
I hope you can stay around Konoha honestly.
But when I finish taking care of those guys, I am willing to give you a chance to return to nature and gain freedom.
At that time, if you like to stay with humans, just stay together. If you don't want to, it's your business to return to nature, as long as you can ensure peaceful coexistence with humans.
So, what do you think of this deal?"
Hinata Yuzuru's words made Shukaku carefully observe his expression again and again, but all he could see was the calm and calm look of the other person.
Is he serious!?
Shukaku thought in disbelief.
This was the first time in so many years that he saw a human being with such thoughts.
In the past, humans either avoided him because of his powerful power, or else they coveted him endlessly. Every human he encountered tried to seal, eliminate, and expel him.
Only his last host, Fenfu, made Shukaku feel the beauty of human beings for the first time.
During the decades he was imprisoned with Fenfuku, Shukaku thought more than once about what his relationship with humans, and the relationship between tailed beasts and humans, should be like.
But even though he was sharing the blessings, he never thought that, as Hyuga Yuzuru said, he hoped that he could no longer exist in a sealed form, but could truly coexist with humans or return to freedom.
Shukaku looked at the other person with a seemingly indifferent expression: "How should I trust you?"
"Shouldn't the so-called trust be something that only exists after we have experienced many things together? Who would trust someone whom we met for the first time? Even I can't say that I trust you.
It’s just that I think...it’s worth giving it a try.”
Hinata Yuzuru said, released the sage mode, landed on the ground, looked at the huge tailed beast, raised his head and said: "Can you become smaller?"
Shukaku looked down at him for a while, and his body began to shrink, taking on the form of a half-tailed beast. Gaara's red hair also grew on the top of his head. It looked a bit nondescript, but his size became only smaller than
Ordinary humans are a little bigger and no longer look so exaggerated.
"The first step of the plan is that I hope to separate you from Gaara's body without damaging the host. This will undoubtedly require your cooperation. Now the chakra in Gaara's body has been matched with yours."
Gaara's chakra is mixed into a ball. If it cannot be separated, taking you out means depriving Gaara of all his chakra.
If he does that, he will naturally die."
Shukaku was puzzled by Hyuga Yuzuru's words, and he frowned slightly: "As far as I know, Gaara has nothing to do with you, right?"
"I don't like meaningless killing." Hyuga Yuzuru said calmly: "Of course I can ignore his life, but if I am that kind of person, how can you trust that I will respect your life?"
Shukaku was speechless. After a long time, he let out a few deep smiles: "Interesting..."
It raised its head, looking thoughtfully at Hinata Yuzuru in front of it with its beast eyes, and just said lazily: "Well, I have a condition..."
Hinata Yuzuru looked at it: "What?"
"Kyuubi, what are you going to do about it?" Shukaku's eyes sparkled with interest.
Hinata Yuzuru thought for a moment and said: "When it can calmly accept the reality, I will give him the same conditions as you."
"Hehe..." Shukaku thought of something and showed a strange smile. He raised his head and said: "As long as you can give him a good beating and let me be an audience...even if you want me to be honest
Stay in Konoha, or be sealed again, I agree."
Hinata Yuzuru's mouth twitched: "Is it that simple?"
"Of course..." Shukaku lazily raised his head and said, "For me, it doesn't matter if I am sealed for ten, twenty, or one hundred years - it's just a long sleep.
.
Even without you, given human nature, sooner or later trouble will still find me.
I'm very interested in your proposal. As for the research you mentioned, as long as it doesn't make me uncomfortable and I cooperate with you, there's nothing wrong with it.
but..."
It smiled: "Kyuubi must be like me..."
Hinata Yuzuru understands.
For Shukaku, the foul-mouthed human in front of him, or other humans, have no meaning to him. Whether it is anger or disgust, it has long been accustomed to it over the years - it is not the first time anyway.
You can't beat a human in one go.
But if you can witness Kyuubi being beaten with your own eyes... the meaning will be completely different.
If I could watch Yuzuru Hinata give Kyuubi the same kind of big mouth that he had received... what a joy it would be!
But the reason for Shukaku's cooperation was not just that.
It was staring calmly at Hinata Yuzuru with its beastly eyes at this moment, looking into his blue eyes and falling into deep thought.
After getting Hinata Yuzuru's response, Shukaku was silent for a moment, and suddenly, he asked softly.
"you...
Are they really human?"
As soon as he said this, Hinata Yuzuru in front of him showed a faint smile.
"Who knows."
Shukaku laughed noncommittally and whispered: "Then let me out of this kid's body as soon as possible... Gaara, this poor kid..."
There was a little pity and a little ridicule in its voice.
Share the blessings...
For some reason, it remembered its previous host again.
It shouldn't have been like this, but vaguely, his eyes flickered with expectation as he glanced at Hinata Yuzuru, then slowly returned to the seal, revealing a tired Gaara.
Gaara knelt down on one knee in embarrassment, and after a while, he reluctantly stood up.
He looked at Hinata Yuzuru with a complex expression. The opponent was stronger than he imagined.
This was the first time that he felt so clearly the power that even the monster in his body could not help but be shocked by.
"You... plan to take Shukaku out?"
Gaara said.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at him: "If we can guarantee that there will be no harm to the Jinchūriki.
What I said to you before is still valid. I think Ichibi doesn't care if I need to stay in your body for a while longer.
You can also think about it for yourself, if you still want to maintain the jinchuriki's posture, it's not impossible."
Gaara was silent for a moment, his voice hoarse: "It doesn't matter."
He put his hands in his pockets, his red hair swaying in the wind, and the word "love" on his forehead was extremely clear in his hair.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at Gaara who had an indifferent expression, and just smiled calmly: "From today on, you can go to live in the apartment - with your ability, it is more than enough to serve as a chuunin, so you can temporarily serve as a chuunin in Konoha.
, stay on standby in the village.
Don't cause trouble...remember, you are no different from other ninjas in Konoha.
