Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 460 Ignoring everything
At the main gate of Sunagakure, Yekura waited for the village's higher-ups.

The walls of Sunagakure Village are made of stacked adobe bricks and are over thirty meters thick. The entrance to Sunagakure Village is a narrow, towering gap cut into the thick walls.

The sandstorms are strong outside the village, but weak inside the village.

The wind and sand blew up Yekura's hair and dress.

Through the gap, Luo Sha and the others all looked at the tea kettle beside Ye Cang.

Bunfuku Chagama was carried on Yokura's waist like a shoulder bag.

Rasa stepped forward and asked, "Yakura, where did you seal Shukaku?"

Yekura said, "Shukaku is more than 400 kilometers away from Sunagakure. It is hidden in the sand. I was just lucky to seal Shukaku."

Luo Sha reached out, gesturing for Ye Cang to hand him the tea kettle.

Chiyo, standing behind Rasa, kept giving Yokura meaningful glances, signaling her not to hand over the tea pot.

However, Yekura obediently handed over the tea kettle.

Luo Sha took the tea kettle and saw many incantations on it.

There are black curse marks, those are the curse marks of the Tea Cauldron Sealing Technique.

In addition, there were some dark red curse marks... Rasa did not recognize these curse marks.

Before Luo Sha could ask, Ye Cang said it himself:

"When I was studying under the Third Kazekage, I happened to see a scroll in the Third Kazekage's office."

The scroll contained records of Shukaku's deeds, and the Third Hokage even had me try it out to see if I had any talent for sealing techniques.

Fortunately, I quickly learned the Tea Cauldron Sealing Technique.

The Third Hokage and I both thought I would never need this technique, but I never imagined that I would be able to use it to help the village.

Based on the Tea Cauldron Sealing Technique, I also developed the Scorching Release Sealing Technique; the two sealing techniques together reinforce the seal.

"I see." Ebizo glanced at the back of Rasa's head and said:

"When the Third Hokage was still around, he valued Yokura very much."

Pakura is a precious bloodline ninja of Sunagakure, and the Third Hokage personally taught her.

It's surprising that the Third Hokage even taught Yekura Shukaku's sealing technique. It seems the Third Hokage has high expectations for Yekura.

Fourth Hokage, I recommend Pakura to be the advisor of Sunagakure.

March, one of Rosa's confidants and another advisor, said:

"Yakura hasn't experienced the baptism of the Fourth Shinobi World War yet, so becoming an advisor now is a bit of a stretch and too early."

Everyone looked at Luo Sha.

Luo Sha stared down at the tea kettle, remaining motionless for a long time.

After a minute, Rasa confirmed that Yekura's sealing technique was superior to his own, and said:

"Ye Cang, you will be the leader of the Tea Cauldron Sealing Team."

In the entire Sand Village, you are the only one with experience using the Teapot Sealing Technique, and you have also developed the Scorching Release Sealing Technique.

The heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Tailed Beasts' seal rests on your shoulders.

Luo Sha had no choice but to rely on Ye Cang. He was puzzled as to why Ye Cang's sealing technique was so advanced.

The price is outrageously high, beyond comprehension.

Subsequently, Sunagakure held a meeting of the Jonin team regarding Shukaku.

At the meeting, Luo Sha announced the establishment of the Sealing Class, with Ye Cang as the class leader.

Rasa said, "Every ninja village is preparing for war, and our Sunagakure village cannot slacken our efforts. Once the war begins, the sealing team will be responsible for deploying Shukaku on the battlefield..."

Yekage suddenly stood up and said, "Kage-sama! I think it's impractical to deploy Shukaku on the battlefield!"

Luo Sha was taken aback.

The deployment of Shukaku was Rasa's most important preparation for the war. Other villages had Jinchuriki, and Sunagakure also had to use the Tailed Beasts.

Yekage continued, "Lord Kazekage, when I sealed Shukaku, I felt Shukaku's deep-seated hatred for the village! The Second Kazekage and Master Bunfuku sealed Shukaku together for more than thirty years."

Master Fenfu's seal was so solid that Shouhe hadn't seen the light of day for over thirty years.

He said that next time he appears, he will do whatever it takes to deal with the village.

I was afraid that if we deployed Shukaku on the battlefield, Shukaku would not only ignore Konoha but also turn back to the desert.

If he continues to hide, that's fine. What I fear most is that he will take revenge on the village without regard for anything else and return to Sunagakure to wreak havoc.

"Our relationship with Shukaku is terrible. Shukaku might not even be our weapon. It's hard to say who's holding the hilt of Shukaku."

Upon hearing what Yekura said, the Jonin immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Yes, anyone who has been imprisoned for over thirty years without seeing the light of day would harbor immense hatred.

What if Shukaku is thrown onto the battlefield and instead targets the Sand Ninja?
Luo Sha glanced at Ye Cang, a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes.

At this point, Advisor March stepped in to defuse the situation:
"Shukaku is our Sunagakure's top-tier weapon of war. Since you, Pakura, believe that deploying Shukaku is risky, then find a way to resolve the risks."

Yekura, devise a plan to try releasing Shukaku and see if Shukaku will become so consumed by hatred that it attacks Sunagakure without regard for consequences, just as you said.

If Shukaku truly hates the village, then we must use negotiation, or even threats, to explain to him that cooperating with us is his only way out. Otherwise, we will seal him away forever.

Yekura had no choice but to accept the task and return to her seat.

She looked out the conference room window.

They did everything they could to delay, hoping that Sunagakure would not be able to participate in the Third Shinobi World War.

She had witnessed the fox's strength. The allied forces of the four great ninja villages sounded terrifying, and it was still uncertain whether they were stronger than Konoha.

More than ten days later, urged by Rasa, Yekura led the sealing team and ANBU ninjas to a place far outside the village.

Maki, Maki's son, who was infiltrating the Anbu, saw the legendary Tailed Beast of Sunagakure for the first time.

A sand raccoon several tens of meters tall burst out of the tea kettle.

He roared and screamed in the night, celebrating his freedom.

Shukaku turned his head and saw the Sand Ninja in the distance.

"It's you! It's the Sand Ninja! I've been wandering in the desert for thousands of years. You are the outsiders, you are the invaders who have taken over the desert!"
"What right do you have to seal me away! I will slaughter you all! Wind Release: Sky Bullet!"

Machi witnessed what natural disasters were like.

Shukaku's Wind Release ninjutsu is more terrifying than any sandstorm Maki has ever seen.

A massive gust of wind swept in, flattening several sand dunes.

Fortunately, the Kazekage built a high wall using gold dust, giving the Anbu ninjas a chance to hide.

The Fourth Kazekage and Shukaku were locked in battle.

Gold dust and sand collided like giant waves, and the terrifying explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball created deep craters.

If such an attack were to occur within Sunagakure, it would likely destroy half of the village in just over ten minutes.

Finally, Yekura, the leader of the sealing squad, intervened and sealed Shukaku.

Maki approached his father, Advisor Machi, and whispered, "Advisor, is Squad Leader Yekura's chakra level that high?"

March frowned as he saw Yekura approach Shukaku's side, form hand seals, and a massive amount of chakra visibly surged from her hands.

After sealing Shukaku, Yekura was panting heavily.

However, the sheer amount of chakra still amazed March.

As expected of a bloodline girl valued by the Third Hokage.

In the desert, what Yekura said was true: Shukaku hated Sunagakure more than Konoha.

Without tailed beasts, can Sunagakure really deal with a behemoth like Konoha?

Will there be a second Shinobi World War, where even Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law died tragically on the battlefield?

Sunagakure's preparations for war have come to a standstill.
