Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Since its birth, it has harbored a certain aversion to human beings, especially the village that has imprisoned it for many years.

Its heart is filled with extreme hatred.

At this moment, it seemed to be venting its pent-up frustrations from the past few years, launching continuous attacks on the ground.

The massive forepaws slammed into the ground, creating gusts of wind that, along with the rising dust, transformed into a sandstorm that swept across the entire village.

This attack lasted for nearly five minutes.

Chiyo did consider trying to stop them.

However, the sheer size of Shukaku and the resulting gale-force winds from its attacks made it impossible for them to advance.

She could only stand still by having the ten puppets form a human wall in front of her.

Meanwhile, the ninja duo who were originally fighting her had already left their positions to find cover the moment the Tailed Beast Ball exploded.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

With a panting sound, the frenzied attack finally stopped, and the sandstorm-like gale also subsided.

As the dust and mist gradually dissipated, the small hill where the Third Kazekage had stood was now a flat plain.

A figure lying on the ground slowly emerged from the dust and mist.

The Third Kazekage finally succumbed to the barrage of attacks and collapsed.

The black iron filings that had originally served as a protective shield were now scattered around him.

Without the support of the caster, these black iron sands are now no different from ordinary sand.

Seeing the fallen Third Kazekage, Shukaku burst into excited laughter, while Chiyo, not far away, narrowed her eyes.

She never expected that this man, known as the "Strongest Wind Shadow," would fall right in front of her like this.

In fact, this was never a fair fight.

As the Third Kazekage who possesses Magnet Release, his agility and air superiority are his advantages.

However, this special battlefield forced him to abandon his advantages. In order to protect the village, he could only choose to withstand the One-Tailed Beast's attack head-on.

That's why Shukaku was able to exploit a weakness and defeat Shukaku in one blow.

Although Magnet Release's sand control technique gives him decent defensive capabilities, he cannot stand still and withstand the attack of a behemoth like the One-Tailed Beast without any injury.

Ultimately, the very thing that the Wind Shadow's identity required him to protect was the main reason for his failure this time.

(Although a lot of explanations have been given here, in reality, this is about the Kazekage who was able to be assassinated by the young Sasori.)

Actually, there's a huge question mark surrounding this...

Seeing the fallen Kazekage, Shukaku, who had been excited for a while, finally calmed down.

It no longer looked at the Third Kazekage in front of it, but turned to look at the village not far away.

A cruel glint flashed in its eyes, and it strode forward again.

This time, with no one blocking its way, its speed increased significantly.

Seeing this, Chiyo gritted her teeth, about to rush forward to stop her.

But at that moment, Juzo Biwa and Suigetsu Hozuki once again blocked her way.

Looking at the two young men, Chiyo's eyes were cold, and she uttered words that revealed a chill.

"If you still want to stand in my way, then don't blame me for killing you with my next strike."

As if sensing Chiyo's determination, the two frowned and took a half step back.

But then, as if they had seen something, their faces suddenly returned to calm.

Juzo Biwa calmly addressed Chiyo before him:

"If you're worried that your village will be attacked, you don't need to worry anymore."

Chiyo was taken aback when she heard what Juzo Biwa said.

She then quickly looked towards Ichio, who was not far away.

At this moment, Shukaku's enormous body had stopped in place.

What stopped it was not anything else, but a Sharingan with intricate patterns.

Chapter 15 Susanoo

However, the eyes in front of Shukaku were somewhat strange.

Because they were eyes of a different shape.

One of them is a Mangekyou Sharingan shaped like a dart, while the other is a Sharingan with only three tomoe.

The owner of the eyes was none other than Uchiha Setsuna, who had been hiding all along.

He had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for this opportunity.

Looking at that Mangekyou Sharingan, the previously agitated Shukaku suddenly calmed down.

Veins bulged on the forehead of Uchiha Setsuna's right eye, which possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Sharingan, resembling a dart, was slowly rotating, and blood was even seeping from the corner of his eye.

It was clear that he was already activating that eye with all his might.

A few seconds later, Shukaku's vertical pupils, which had originally exuded a brutal aura, slowly calmed down, and the pupils gradually dilated, clearly indicating that it had lost its self-awareness.

Seeing that he had successfully taken control, Uchiha Setsuna immediately closed his right eye and covered it with his hand.

However, drops of blood still slowly seeped out from between his fingers, uncontrollably.

He stood there, slightly out of breath, looking as if he had expended a great deal of energy.

Actually, this isn't a matter of his strength, but rather because this Mangekyou Sharingan wasn't originally his.

After he met Madara and joined the Akatsuki organization, Madara transplanted this eye into him to facilitate his subsequent missions.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is an extremely rare eye, even among the Uchiha clan.

Even in the original storyline, there were fewer than ten Uchiha clan members who could develop the Sharingan to this extent.

Even he himself didn't know where the transplanted piglet came from.

In fact, the Mangekyou Sharingan is the most important evolution of the Sharingan.

Prior to this, the Sharingan was more of an auxiliary tool.

Although it possesses powerful abilities such as observation, replication, and hypnosis.

It grants the holder superhuman insight, enabling them to observe chakra flow, cast and see through genjutsu, and copy taijutsu and non-bloodline limit ninjutsu.

However, in terms of offensive capabilities alone, the Sharingan does not provide the user with the most direct assistance.

However, once the Mangekyou Sharingan is evolved, the user will possess a unique skill.

For example, Obito's Kamui, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Itachi's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

These are actually unique skills that they can only acquire after activating the Kaleidoscope.

This is actually why, despite having so many skills in the early stages, Kagura was far from being able to develop those skills to the same level of power as in the original story.

After all, although he possessed skills granted by the system, he was unable to fully utilize these ninjutsu with only the three-tomoe Sharingan at that time.

It's like a sharp sword falling into a child's hands; it can still hurt people.

But it's definitely not as deadly as if it fell into the hands of an adult.

At this time, Uchiha Setsuna was in the same situation. After obtaining the eye that did not belong to him, he was unable to use it normally.

His situation is even worse than Kagura's was a few years ago.

Each time he uses that eye, he has to expend several times more chakra to activate it.

That's why, even though he's had that eye for years, he still can't figure out what its unique abilities are.

However, he was certain that this Mangekyou Sharingan was far superior to his original Sharingan in terms of genjutsu and control.

This is one of the reasons why Madara sent him to subdue the One-Tailed Beast.

Looking at Shukaku, which was now under his control, he couldn't help but smile.

After more than a month of lying low, the moment of harvest has finally arrived.

He leaped onto the head of the One-Tailed Shukaku, and as the sand beneath his feet melted, his figure slowly merged into the body of the tailed beast beneath him.

As his figure disappeared, Shukaku's previously dazed eyes suddenly regained their sparkle.

It glanced down at Chiyo and the ninja duo below, and a familiar voice came from its mouth.

If you listen carefully, it is clearly the voice of Uchiha Setsuna.

"I'll leave this place to you. I'll head out with my target."

After the mission is completed, meet at the agreed location.

After saying that, it ignored the three of them, turned its back to the village, and began to climb the huge valley with all its might.

At this moment, Uchiha Setsuna only wanted to leave as soon as possible and had no intention of destroying Sunagakure.

First, their mission is only to capture one tail, so there's no need to offend the entire Land of Wind.

Secondly, given his abilities.

If all the Jonin from Sunagakure gather here, it's likely that you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

However, just as it was about to reach the top of the valley, it saw two figures above.

A woman with an explosive figure stood on the mountaintop, while in front of her, a handsome young man sat on the edge of the mountaintop.

He crossed one leg over the other, while the other dangled in mid-air, swaying back and forth. He rested his chin on his hand, watching with great interest the tail climbing below.

These two were Kagura and Tsunade, who had arrived at the scene long ago.

In fact, the two of them arrived here even earlier than Chiyo.

However, for them, as long as they can prevent Akatsuki from obtaining the One-Tailed Beast, it makes no difference whether it is the people of Sunagakure or themselves who take action.

Moreover, given their status, making a rash move in front of the Sunagakure ninjas might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Therefore, when they saw Chiyo and the Third Kazekage appear, they chose to stand by and watch.
