Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 457 The Art of Sand Manipulation
The Land of Wind is the largest of the five great nations.

South of the Jigang Mountains and north of the sea lies an endless desert.

Shukaku broke free from its seal, feeling a precious sense of freedom. Without engaging with the Sand Ninja, it fled into the depths of the desert.

In fact, Shukaku existed first, followed by the Land of Wind; Sunagakure only appeared in recent decades.

The hermit crane has lived in the desert for thousands of years and is one of the ancient myths about natural disasters that have been passed down in the desert for thousands of years.

Travelers who stray into the depths of the desert will be killed for disturbing Shukaku.

As human activity expanded, it encroached on Shukaku's habitat, and later, the First Kazekage of Sunagakure even captured Shukaku.

The fact that the Sand Ninja can't find Shukaku doesn't mean that Yakou can't find Shukaku.

With Ye Guang's strength, he found Shukaku in just two or three days.

In the eastern part of the Land of Wind, the Sand Sea is exactly the same as other places, without any difference.

In the sea of ​​sand, the sand slowly rises.

Shukaku's eyes emerged from the gaps in the waterfall-like sand, staring at a distant figure that made his heart pound.

The person was wearing a black mask with lightning.

The key was his strength, which made Shukaku instinctively feel uneasy.

"You're putting on a show, wearing a mask, who are you really?!"

Shukaku's voice echoed in the desert night sky.

The sand and soil on the ground were shaken and flowed in a rush.

Ye Guang said, "Shukaku, your power is too great. I cannot let you do as you please, nor can I hand you over to those with ulterior motives."

"Someone with ulterior motives?" Shukaku opened its mouth wide, its words creating gusts of wind.

"You're all alone in this desert; I think you're the one with ulterior motives!"

Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!

Shukaku has a short temper and will immediately attack with Wind Release if things don't go his way.

Looking at the runes on Shukaku's body, Yagami prepared to try and find some ability on Shukaku.

The One-Tail's power is a good thing.

A typhoon ball, several tens of meters in size, hurtled towards the night sky, whipping up a massive dust cloud with its wake.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

The luminous figure formed a seal and unleashed a massive fire dragon.

From afar, Yekura was shocked to see that Miku had suppressed Shukaku's Wind Release with just a simple Fire Release technique.

Although Fire Release can disrupt airflow through thermal convection, and although Fire Release is effective against Wind Release, that is Shukaku's Wind Release.

When Shukaku saw that the first training bullet was defeated head-on by the fire dragon, his eyes changed. He knew that he had encountered a master of fire release. He patted his fat belly repeatedly.

Three practice rounds were fired in quick succession.

However, this wind-style technique, capable of destroying a town, was no match for fire-style techniques.

The fire dragon, with terrifying power, pierced through three training bullets in succession.

Above the dragon's head, its fiery mane swayed in the wind, radiating intense heat.

Shukaku had no choice but to leap high into the air to avoid the fire dragon.

"Who exactly are you! Why does a seemingly ordinary fire jutsu act like a forbidden technique in your hands?!"

Ye Guang said, "Show me your other abilities. Wind Release is useless against me."

Shukaku stared at the ninja wearing a black mask with lightning and said, "You're asking for death!"

He opened his mouth, and suddenly red and blue chakra appeared in front of it.

"Tailed beast jade!"

Just as Shukaku was about to use the Tailed Beast Ball, a wooden hand suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed at the unformed Tailed Beast Ball.

Shukaku was stunned; the unformed Tailed Beast Ball had been shattered!

What kind of strength is this?
Shukaku quickly retreated.

That damned Bunpuku, all he does is chant Buddhist scriptures all day and he doesn't communicate with the guards at all, which has led to Shukaku being completely unaware of the current situation in the ninja world.

Who is coming?

Ye Guang said, "We can't use Wind Release, it's too weak. We also can't use Tailed Beast Ball, it's too strong. I don't like either of them, let's choose another one."

Jumping back, Shukaku stared at Yoru with lingering fear.

His tail slowly drifted forward.

The tip of its tail gradually tapered, transforming into a massive spear.

"The Spear of Shukaku!" The spear flew out suddenly, heading towards the night light.

This is a technique that is said to have the toughest and most absolute attack power.

At a sufficient distance, the luminous wave of its hand creates absolute resistance—the Crystal Mist—below its body.

Faced with extremely high resistance, the slowdown of Shukaku's spear is visible to the naked eye.

When Shukaku's spear reached Yeguang, it stopped moving completely.

Nightlight reached out and grabbed the tip of Shukaku's spear, but failed to break it on the first try.

He nodded repeatedly: "This technique is good. It lives up to its reputation as the toughest attack technique."

With a second strike, Nightlight forcefully shattered Shukaku's spear.

Yekura, watching from afar, had no idea what Yekura's seemingly casual grab meant, but Shukaku did.

The man before him possessed superhuman strength, crushing Shukaku's spear with just his fingers.

No... that strange, faint mist contained a lot of water, and that water softened Shukaku's spear.

Shukaku remained calm.

The sand from Shukaku's spear fell onto the sand, making a soft, plopping sound.

A few seconds later, Shukaku suddenly slapped his hands on the ground.

"Hand of Sand!"

Using the sand from Shukaku's spear as a medium, a giant Shukaku claw suddenly appeared beneath Yagami's feet.

Shukaku suddenly closed its claws and grabbed Yeguang with one hand.

Under the influence of Absolute Defense: Crystal Mist, Sand Hand was instantly saturated by a large amount of water-based attacks formed from the crystal mist.

The gushing water escape broke through the Sand Hand, causing a flood in the desert as if a seawall had collapsed.

The luminescence leaped out of the sand.

However, he suddenly felt the light around him dim.

Behind him, above his head, and to his left and right, four sand hands reached out from different angles toward the light.

It's everywhere, leaving no blind spots.

Each of the Sand Hands' palms is tens of meters in size.

A massive slap, several tens of meters long, landed on Ye Guang's body.

Ye Guang nodded repeatedly. This speed and scale were worthy of being part of Ye Guang's collection.

He removed all his defenses and let the sand crush him to death.

[Host has been detected dead. The Arc of the Moon System is activating...]

It's been a long time since I heard the system notification sound, and Nightlight is starting to miss it.

When I woke up again, the moonlight was from a few days ago.

He was in a Kage-level suite built with Wood Release, with Pakura's beautiful back swaying in front of him.

With a snap of his fingers, the ceiling above his head slowly moved, revealing a skylight.

Moonlight streamed through the skylight, falling on Yekura's beautiful back, which reflected the hazy moonlight.

Yecang deliberately increased the frequency of her movements, making it impossible for the moonlight to catch up with her back.

Left with no other choice, the nightlight expanded the skylight's area, finally allowing the moonlight to cover the mischievous Leaf Village.

After a moment of fascination, both of them gained a clear understanding.

After Ye Cang fell asleep, Ye Guang sat by the window and chose the ability he received from the system.

[Moon-Moon Arc is activated!]
The host has only one chance to revive each month, and will be resurrected on the night of the previous full moon after death.

One chance to win a prize:
1-Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training;
2-Sealing Technique: Desert Burial;

3-Sand Release: Sand Manipulation Technique.

Wind Release: Sky Bullet is pretty useless. The Desert Layer Great Burial Seal is also not much more effective compared to the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

The third technique, Sand Release: Sand Manipulation Technique, allows one to freely manipulate sand.

This ability was somewhat useful to Nightlight, so he decisively chose the third reward.

A gust of wind blew the sand toward the window. Nightlight raised his hand and released his chakra. The sand instantly received the command and obediently hovered in front of Nightlight, slowly rotating and turning into a small sand pyramid.

Ye Guang thought to himself that he would one day be able to fly on sand like Gaara or Rasa.

The ability to freely manipulate sand is extremely useful.

In addition, sand can be combined with other abilities to create even stronger spells.
