Chapter 515 Overestimating One's Abilities

The land of winds, a vast desert.

Since Black Zetsu sent out the message three days ago that he would find the One-Tailed Beast through the ring, he has reunited with Hyuga Yuto.

With a clear target in mind, Hyuga Yuto finally saw the One-Tailed Fox that had transformed into a tanuki in his Byakugan.

Well, it's no wonder he overlooked it.

One is a colossal creature that is seventy or eighty meters tall, while the other is a cute creature that is only thirty centimeters long. No one who sees the latter would associate it with Ichio.

Moreover, the One-Tailed Beast had placed a seal on itself, causing only a small amount of chakra to leak out of its body, making it look like a wild beast that had just happened to learn chakra.

However, Hinata Yuto was unwilling to accept this.

He defected from Konoha and joined Akatsuki, though forced into it, but he still wanted to make a name for himself.

This search for the One-Tailed Beast is exactly what his Byakugan is good at, and he wanted to use this opportunity to show off his skills and demonstrate his value.

However, no matter how many times he searched the entire Land of Wind and spent two months, he still couldn't find One-Tail.

In the end, it was that guy who somehow managed to find the One-Tailed Beast hidden underground.

How can he save face now? What's the point of his eye-rolling?

Hinata Yuto clenched his fists, constantly encouraging himself in his heart.

Yuto, you have bad luck with your eyes, but you need to work harder and make sure no one looks down on you.

Black Zetsu gave the guy he himself had recruited into the organization a strange look.

Honestly, he wouldn't have let someone like that in if the organization wasn't really short-staffed.

Especially during these three days of waiting, I don't know what's wrong with this guy, he's been absent-minded all day, even when he's being monitored.

How did someone like that become a ninja?!

Just as Zetsu and Hinata Yuto were each thinking their own little schemes, Akatsuki's capture team finally arrived.

In the distant sky, two figures were swaying and walking towards this direction.

The tall, muscular figure with purple-glowing eyes was none other than the demon who had reclaimed one-fifth of his physical body.

The thin, elongated figure, constantly muttering to itself, was Blood Raven, the servant of the evil god.

Black Zetsu remained silent upon seeing the two, fully demonstrating the taciturn nature of an intelligence agent.

He raised his hand to indicate the location ahead, pointing out the hiding place of the One-Tailed Beast to the two of them, and then decisively used Earth Release to sink into the desert.

Only Hyuga Yuto and Mouryou remained, staring at each other in disbelief.

Hyuga Yuto was a newcomer; he had just joined the Akatsuki organization and hadn't even had a chance to get to know everyone before being sent on a mission.

The other two are even more outrageous; one is not human at all, and the other is also basically non-human.

The two stood together, completely unsure how to communicate.

In the end, it was Blood Raven's last bit of "humanity" that worked. He looked at Hyuga Yuto, who seemed eager to try, a state that was clearly very different from that old fox Zetsu.

"Zhu (Yoto Hyuga's code name), are you planning to join us in capturing the Tailed Beasts?"

Hyuga Yuto nodded quickly. Since he had made a fool of himself during the search, he naturally wanted to prove himself during the capture.

"Yes, I think I can still be of some help with my abilities." This was Hyuga Yuto's self-assessment.

At this point, Hyuga Yuto no longer cared that he was only responsible for reconnaissance; he just wanted to take on the work of the combat team as well.

As for the One-Tailed Beast, something he had only heard of but never actually seen, how powerful could it be in his mind?

It can only be said that the current appearance of the One-Tailed Beast is too deceptive. In addition, the Akatsuki has captured the Tailed Beasts one after another without a single failure, which makes him even more contemptuous of the Tailed Beasts.

Now that the matter was settled, the three of them did not waste any more time. They took a detour and dispersed around Yiwei, forming a three-talent formation to surround Yiwei.

Shukaku, who was resting, gradually fell asleep, but this time the quality of his sleep was not so ideal. In his drowsy state, Shukaku felt somewhat uneasy, which made him feel that the big tail in his arms was not so comfortable.

Just as he was about to end his hibernation and go for a stroll, the alarm barrier he had set up on the outside was triggered.

Shukaku suddenly opened his eyes, his cross-shaped pupils darting wildly. He knew that a human must have trespassed on his territory.

The madness that had been suppressed deep within his heart surged up at this moment.

With a flick of his tail, the yellow sand above him exploded with a roar, and his body began to absorb the surrounding sand particles and expand at that moment.

"Despicable humans, you want to seal me away again, all of you, die!"

Before anyone could see it, the yellow sand, under Shukaku's control, had already transformed into a large number of sand arrows that flew out in all directions.

The barrier wasn't triggered by Hyuga Yuto, but when the three realized they could no longer hide, Hyuga Yuto was the fastest to rush in.

In Byakugan vision, the tailed beast, which was only the size of a house cat, was rapidly expanding. But it didn't matter; as long as he was fast enough, he could get close before it grew completely and then disperse its condensed chakra.

As a hail of sand arrows rained down, Hyuga Yuto merely twisted his body slightly to dodge, his speed undiminished. When he could no longer avoid them, he gathered chakra in his palms and unleashed a divine air strike that shattered them.

As Shukaku was almost in front of him, Hyuga Yuto's face twisted into a smile, like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman or a starving ghost seeing delicious food.

As Shukaku grew larger, it finally saw who had attacked it.

There were only three in total. One looked even more evil than himself, another was a follower of that lunatic, and the last one—

Shukaku paused for a moment. What is this thing? It's so weak yet it dares to be so brave, and it's even charging at the front. Isn't this just courting death?

Since you want to die, then go ahead and die.

Shukaku swung its forepaw, releasing a massive amount of chakra, causing the claw to instantly grow to its original size before slapping towards Hyuga Yuto.

Yuto Hyuga was just feeling smug, but the next moment his face went blank.

The colossal claw that blotted out the sky was completely beyond his imagination.

How could it be so fast!

How can it be so big!

Is this... a tailed beast?

Gathering all his chakra and focusing it on his right hand, ignoring the excruciating pain of his arm's veins bursting, Hyuga Yuto unleashed the strongest palm strike of his life.

A powerful, visible palm strike shot out and slammed into Shukaku's giant claw.

However, to Hyuga Yuto's dismay, such a powerful palm strike only created a shallow dent on the giant claw, and the dent healed completely in the next instant.

"The completely broken Hyuga Yuto let out a shrill scream, and was then slammed to the ground by Shukaku's claw, which rubbed his hands hard from side to side."

Blood seeped out from around the giant claw, and Hyuga Yuto was now dead without a complete corpse.

This scene truly stunned Wangliang and Xueya. They never expected that Hyuga Yuto would be so bad, and the key point is that he didn't even realize how bad he was.

This caused them a lot of trouble; what was originally a well-laid encirclement now had a large gap in it.

And what you fear most is what happens.

After killing one of the sacrificial lambs, One-Tailed Beast had no intention of lingering with them any longer. With a swift movement, it burst forth from the direction of Hyuga Yuto.

Tailed beasts are enormous; one step from one of them is equivalent to hundreds of steps for a ninja. When a tailed beast runs, how could a ninja possibly catch up with it?

Seeing that Yiwei was about to escape the attack range, Wangliang didn't care about anything else. He roared and his body swelled up instantly. In just a moment, he lost his human form and transformed back into a five-headed monster.

The two enormous creatures were entangled together, their claws waving and their jaws tearing, sand flying and purple blood splattering, fully demonstrating how brutal the battle between the two behemoths was.

Blood Raven could only watch helplessly. This was completely different from what had been agreed upon. Now that the Demon and the One-Tailed Beast were locked in combat, he couldn't help even if he wanted to.

We can't exactly let him, with his small frame, go up and fight hand-to-hand.

Who knows, if those two turn the tables, Blood Raven might end up like Hyuga Yuto, reduced to a bloody mess.

However, the situation on this field is not optimistic.

The demon is only one-fifth of the physical body, so its strength is greatly reduced. Not to mention anything else, it is several sizes smaller than the One-Tailed Beast.

Just as the demon was growing weaker and weaker and was about to be defeated, Jue appeared from beside Blood Raven.

"Why aren't you doing anything?"

"My ninjutsu is not suitable for this situation. If I were to launch a forceful attack, the demon might be defeated even faster."

To put it bluntly, Blood Raven's power is indeed strong, but it largely relies on the power of the evil god, and his control over this power is far from being effortless.

Therefore, it's not that he doesn't want to attack, but that he can't attack.

"Sigh, I never expected that in the end I, an investigator, would have to come and assist."

With a sigh, Jue decisively formed a hand seal and slammed his palm onto the ground.

Wood Release: Thorn Entanglement Technique.

Countless thorns sprouted wildly from the desert ground, rapidly thickening and lengthening under the infusion of chakra.

They seemed to have eyes as they coiled around Yiwei's body, their sharp thorns piercing its flesh and growing and splitting again.

"Stop right there!"

With thorns covering half of its body, Jue let out a loud shout and exerted its strength once more.

The thorns snapped straight instantly, the sudden force catching the tail off guard. The thorns on its lower body and the thorns embedded in its body worked together, freezing even a tail of its size for a moment.

In that instant, the demon seized the opportunity, its five heads biting the tail's five limbs (four limbs and tail) and pulling wildly in five directions. Its claws also gripped the tail's waist and ribs from behind, and together with its heads, it pushed the tail's chest and abdomen out.

"Hurry, I can't hold on much longer."

The voice of the demon echoed in Blood Raven's mind, sounding extremely strained.

Blood Raven wasn't one to sit idly by; he had already begun preparations when Jue made his move.

He first drew a prayer array on the sand with his own blood, and then kept chanting incantations unique to evil gods.

When the voice of the demon rang out, all of Blood Raven's preparations were complete.

He then placed his five fingers together in a triangular shape, aiming them at the abdomen of a fish that had been forced to stick out.

Evil God Technique - Evil Light Cannon.

An energy ball resembling a Tailed Beast Ball condensed in front of his palms and was launched in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, the glowing ball slammed squarely into the belly of the one-tailed beast.

"The violent explosion directly shaved off half of the One-Tailed Beast's large belly, turning what was originally a big belly into a small waist."

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the heavens and earth. The orange-yellow eyes of the one-tailed beast had turned blood red, and its body twisted and struggled wildly.

Unfortunately, the fulcrum for his body's power was severely damaged, and no matter how frantically he tried, he could never muster the strength he needed.

The demons, of course, were not about to let such a good opportunity pass them by; they were determined to beat the dog when it was down.

He used his two claws to loosen the tail's body and instead of the two dragon heads, grabbed the tail's upper limbs. The two dragon heads that were freed up directly charged up their power in their mouths and then sprayed two dragon breath rays down at the tail's back.

After this happened repeatedly, even with its incredibly strong vitality, the One-Tailed Beast was now on the verge of death.

What followed was simple. The three of them met up, took out the sealing scroll they had prepared beforehand, and temporarily sealed the One-Tailed Beast, which was powerless to resist. Then, the three of them quickly left the scene.

The battle here is so intense, involving tailed beasts, demons, and the power of an evil god that is in no way inferior to either.

The shockwaves from this battle could travel incredibly far; unless Sunagakure is blind, someone from Sunagakure will surely come to investigate soon.

As for the only Akatsuki member who was lost, no one mentioned him again until the end, because his performance was so terrible that he was a disgrace to the Akatsuki.

If he hadn't participated in this battle, it might have ended much more easily.

Yuto Hyuga never understood until his death that what he considered an ability was a joke from beginning to end.

This was true from his first mission to the ninja world from the moon, to his conduct after joining the Hyuga clan, and even his reconnaissance and combat after defecting to Akatsuki.

Even more so.

One day after the three Akatsuki members left, the ninjas from Sunagakure finally arrived at the location.

All the newcomers were dressed in gray linen robes, their heads completely covered.

The leader stood at the edge of the battle scene, raised his hand and lifted the hood on his head, revealing a head of short brown hair. He was none other than the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

As he moved, the twelve people behind him also lifted their hoods, revealing themselves to be prominent figures of the younger generation of Sunagakure.

"Lord Kazekage, what's next—"

Maki stepped forward, approached Rosa, looked at his gloomy face, and whispered his request for instructions.

"Separately explore in small teams, and remember, don't get separated from your group."

"Yes!" *3

The three teams quickly dispersed and began to explore the area, which was about one square kilometer in size.

Rosa walked alone across the desert.

Sometimes he would squat down, grab a handful of sand that had turned purple, and feel it carefully.

Sometimes he would pull out a withered thorn and examine it closely.

But the more he looked, the uglier his expression became.

About half an hour later, all three teams that had been dispersed returned, bringing back a series of intelligence reports.

Rosa finally confirmed that Sunagakure had lost their tailed beast once again.

Oh no, Sunagakure hasn't had a tailed beast in over three years. They've only confirmed that the One-Tailed Beast has been captured by Akatsuki.
