Naruto: Starting with the Ten Kage Techniques, Sukuna Jinchuriki

Chapter 127 One Hand Suppresses Shouhe, The Other Side of the Abyss, Return to the Void

The rain in the Land of Rain is never gentle, only eternally violent.

The leaden-gray clouds pressed down heavily on the entire sky, and countless raindrops, like a hanging iron curtain, weighed heavily on everyone's heads, making their hearts sink.

It wasn't because of the rain, but because of the tailed beast that had been considered taboo since ancient times.

In the heart of the torrential rain, a massive, sandy-yellow shadow suddenly rose up.

"Damn it, it's a tailed beast!" Gamabunta thought to himself, realizing something was wrong.

Jiraiya's gaze became even more solemn.

"Sunagakure has broken the rules!"

"Damn Sunagakure, how dare they use such forbidden power!"

Both Konoha and Sunagakure were filled with fear in the face of natural disasters.

However, compared to Konoha, the Sand Village ninjas had a hint of excitement in their eyes.

That is the strange desire for conquest that humans feel when they try to control and manage natural disasters, a mixture of fear and excitement.

"Hahaha, I'm free!"

Shukaku's massive body stood tall amidst the sandstorm, emitting a sharp, frantic roar.

But his laughter stopped abruptly the next second.

As the rain washed over it, the dry sand on Shukaku's body clumped together, sank, and lost its former agility.

The once dry fur of the sand was now soaked by the heavy rain, which pounded on his massive body, the raindrops seeping into the gaps between the sand grains.

The sand wall, which was once considered an "absolute" defense, became dark and stiff under the rain, turning into a mud wall that bound him.

"I hate water the most!"

Shukaku's roar mingled with the rain, hoarse and anxious.

Although the tailed beasts are essentially all chakra, sand is still the basic element that constitutes Shukaku, and he instinctively hates water.

"Look! The Tanuki-tailed Beast from Sunagakure isn't adapting well to the new environment!"

"This is the first time I've felt so comfortable in Amegakure!"

Shukaku's performance gave Konoha hope, so the Konoha ninjas beat him while he was down and bullied him mercilessly.

"You damned humans!" Shukaku roared in fury.

Despite the torrential rain, the ferocity and power of the tailed beasts are never diminished by the environment.

Shukaku, restrained by the torrential rain, turned to chakra and unleashed his innate wind-style power.

Amidst the sudden downpour, the brownish-yellow chakra exploded outwards, centered on Shukaku.

The fierce hurricane crashed against the falling raindrops, tearing apart the chaotic rain curtain with the gale, and Shukaku briefly created a rainless vacuum zone around them.

Shukaku lowered its head slightly, Sand's sharp teeth closed, and its abdomen bulged high.

Extremely sharp Wind Release chakra condensed and compressed from his mouth.

The wind and rain grew increasingly violent, and the condensed chakra stirred up the surrounding air currents, the sound of which was muffled and even drowned out the sound of the rain.

The next moment, the huge training missile, carrying the power to tear everything apart, roared out!

The Konoha ninjas who were initially smug were no longer laughing.

Shukaku's enraged, colossal wind-style attack crashed through layers of rain like a devastating force.

The wind howled, scattering all the raindrops along the way, and the powerful impact even swept away the puddles on the ground, revealing the muddy earth.

The blow crashed down with a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble violently and spiderweb-like cracks to spread in all directions.

Shukaku was still not satisfied. It shook its belly again, opened its blood-red maw, and fired several air-piercing bullets in succession.

The earthen walls and watchtowers collapsed instantly, the defenses were completely crushed, dust billowed everywhere, and the entire stronghold was torn apart in an instant.

The Sand Village, having anticipated this, surrounded the Konoha ninja from the sides, but instead of attacking, they used the Konoha ninja as a tool to test the Tailed Beasts.

"I didn't expect that Shukaku, which is restricted by Amegakure, could pose such a threat." Ebizo's expression was complicated.

However, he was already pleasantly surprised when he saw that Shukaku did not immediately turn around and attack Sunagakure.

This marks the first time that tailed beasts have been used in warfare.

Controlling tailed beasts, weapons of war, to conquer cities and seize territories—something that had previously only existed in imagination—had actually become a reality in his hands.

ecstatic!

When he saw that this groundbreaking achievement had actually succeeded, Ebizo's eyes were filled with undisguised excitement.

Perhaps there is also sympathy for those who share in the blessings.

He was a truly enlightened monk, but this sympathy was insignificant compared to the interests of Sunagakure.

It was no excuse; in Ebizo's heart, his sister and the village were of utmost importance.

If needed by Sunagakure, Ebizo could become a vessel for a tailed beast at any time, serving as a strategic weapon and accepting the fate of being deployed at any time.

The raging wind whipped up waves of mud and water, and collapsing bricks and stones mixed with splashing mud, hitting everyone's face behind the ruins.

Even Jiraiya was not spared, his body soaked in mud and water, looking utterly disheveled.

"Bunta, you might have to fight tooth and nail later."

"You idiot, just retreat obediently and wait for reinforcements!" Bunta said, a little annoyed, stubbing out his already soaked cigarette and pointing at Jiraiya.

"Anyway, your junior apprentice will definitely be able to fight back."

"Then wouldn't that make me someone who relies on juniors?" Jiraiya scoffed. "Am I that kind of person?"

"Aren't you one?" Bunta said speechlessly. "Don't think I don't know you secretly learned the Rasengan."

"Haha, that's true." Jiraiya suddenly became serious. "However, this tailed beast has already locked onto us, and there are also Sand Village forces blocking our way from the side."

"Iwagakure has Onoki, whose flight and Dust Release techniques are extremely difficult to deal with. If Sunagakure and Iwagakure were to join forces and release this tailed beast into Amegakure, Konoha's favorable situation would be completely destroyed in an instant."

He had heard Ebizo's words earlier, and this tanuki was also quite special, as it did not attack Sunagakure.

Jiraiya dared not gamble.

Wen Tai fell silent, his grip on the knife tightening even more.

He knew Jiraiya's temper best; once he made up his mind to do something, nothing could change it.

Gazing at the colossal figure standing tall amidst the torrential rain, every Konoha ninja wore a look of fear in the face of natural disaster.

"This is the power of the Tailed Beasts!?"

"hateful!"

"When will Lord Yao's support arrive?"

The support from the Obsidian Squad has become the hope in the hearts of almost every squad over the past two years.

Even in the face of great danger, every Konoha ninja in battle holds onto hope, waiting for Fushiko's rescue.

This is the reputation that the Obsidian Squad has built up over the past two years.

They have become the spiritual totem of Konoha ninjas, centered around Amegakure, sweeping across the surrounding small countries and large battlefields.

"No, they probably won't come. Don't forget those bandits from Iwagakure," someone sighed.

"Yes, even if he could come, I wouldn't want Lord Yao to come."

"For the sake of Konoha, for the sake of the Will of Fire, Lord You and the others must support the flanking battle."

"Haha, those Sunagakure scum! Lord You will surely avenge us in the future!"

The Konoha ninjas in the ruins of their stronghold also stood up one after another.

Facing this behemoth of war, they will feel fear—it's human nature—but that doesn't mean they will run away out of fear.

Ninjas are never afraid of sacrifice, but only of sacrifice that is not worthwhile.

Right now, their greatest value lies in their ability to stop the Sand Village's advance with their lives, buying time for Fukuko to stop the Iwa Village.

"Now is the time to put the Will of Fire into practice!"

Someone in the crowd said something that instantly resonated with everyone.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya, who was in charge, smiled with satisfaction.

The Will of Fire was embodied at this moment.

Even if they die, their successors will inherit their will and continue to protect Konoha.

Just as the people of Konoha were united in their efforts, they suddenly noticed that the color of the water on the ground had changed.

It's not because of a change in light, but because something has truly changed.

Darkness silently spread from behind them to the entire ruins of the stronghold.

This was far from the end; darkness surged toward Shukaku and Sunagakure like a tidal wave.

A Konoha ninja reached into a puddle on the ground and scooped up water that was as black as mud.

"Is this the abyss?" Some of the Konoha ninjas, dazed from the explosion, stood in the darkness, feeling a sense of weightlessness.

"How is that possible? We're probably saved."

A Nara ninja who had the good fortune to witness Fukuyo's attack had a complex expression on his face.

Every Nara resident was warned by their family not to antagonize Fushiko.

Because the Nara clan made a deal with Fushiko, the Nara clan's price was their ancestral secret techniques, while the reward was merely a vague favor and promise.

Logically speaking, such an unwise decision would never be approved, especially by a family like the Nara clan, which is known for its wisdom.

But the person on the other side of the scale is Fukuko.

So the family signed the agreement.

At first, some people thought it was foolish.

But anyone who has seen Fukuyo use Shadow Cloak will feel from the bottom of their heart that it was an absolutely correct decision.

"Spell reversal. Abyss!" The Nara clansmen seemed to hear that oppressive voice.

The Uchiha ninjas' gazes were even more fervent.

In their eyes, Fu Heiyao is an absolute legend. As long as he appears, he can defeat any enemy, no matter who they are!

Beneath the leaden-gray clouds, the already gloomy sky, set against the backdrop of the black water, seemed to drag the world into an abyss.

"Yo actually chose this side?" Jiraiya's mouth gaped open, somewhat incredulous.

Gamabunta breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how bad the situation was before, as long as he could hold out until Fukuyo arrived, everything would be fine.

Because Fukuko's presence means an overwhelming victory!

On the other side, Ebizo stared at the gradually "blackening" earth, his gaze more solemn than ever before.

He recognized this as one of Fu Heiyao's trump cards.

A shadow imitation technique similar to that of the Nara clan, which can be described as mindless suppression.

Combined with Fukuko's own abilities and the other members of his team, even elite Jonin would be instantly killed.

However, this move also has disadvantages: Obsidian cannot move while it is being used, and it cannot suppress multiple people at the same time.

Or rather, this technique would pale in comparison when facing a large number of ninjas.

The Sand Village's think tank analyzed that the effect of the technique called "Abyss" depends on whether Fukuko can multitask.

The suppression beyond the power of Fu Heiyao's mind will gradually weaken, and may even become ineffective.

While the current number of Sunagakure ninjas is something to be wary of, there's no need to worry about them being easily overwhelmed.

But where did Fukuro Obsidian go?

This question arose in the minds of both of them at the same time.

"In front of Shukaku!" someone in Sunagakure suddenly shouted.

At this moment, both Sunagakure and Konoha focused their attention on the center of the torrential rain.

From the depths of the abyss, a man with black hair and black eyes slowly emerged and stood atop the abyss.

Dressed in a simple, all-black combat suit, the fabric loose and flowing, his posture was relaxed and languid, yet he exuded an unspoken aura of strength simply by standing there.

Beside him, Kushina slowly emerged from the shadows, and the two stood side by side.

"You two...."

Shukaku stared at the two of them, and suddenly caught a familiar scent.

"Shukaku, Kurama said you're the weakest tailed beast?"

Fukuyo is a man who can easily provoke people; his first words are taunts that enrage Shukaku.

"You bastard, die!"

Shukaku flew into a rage, its Sand Claws swinging furiously at Fukuko, but it stopped abruptly in mid-air under Fukuko's casually raised palm.

"Human brat, who exactly are you!?" Shukaku's anger was suppressed, and his rationality returned slightly.

But Fu Heiyao's next words made him completely lose control.

"This level of suppression... you're nowhere near as strong as Nine-Tails."

"I'm going to kill you!"

Shukaku was furious, his chakra was circulating recklessly within him, but he was still powerless to do anything about it.

Even the Nine-Tails was suppressed by Yuan, let alone the One-Tails.

Kushina looked at the giant tanuki with curiosity, somewhat puzzled: "Kurama, did you say that?"

"Although I hate that brat Fushiguro, he's right about that." Kurama said smugly, "If even I can be suppressed, Shukaku definitely won't have the power to resist."

"And don't call me by my name, you're not worthy!" Nine-Tails retorted indignantly.

"How dare you speak to me like that! I think you want a beating, Kurama!"

Inside the sealed space, Kushina's hair was lifted by chakra, as if it were burning with crimson flames.

Nine-Tails shuddered as he recalled the Black Flash Fist that had nearly killed him, but he still spoke defiantly.

"Even if you call me, I won't acknowledge you without my approval!"

"I know that. You said that forced relationships are never sweet." Kushina clapped her hands and nodded.

"Then why are you still yelling!" Nine-Tailed Fox roared in anger.

"Forced love is never sweet, but it quenches thirst," Kushina said with a smile, though in Kurama's eyes, it was practically overflowing with malice. "If you don't accept me, I'll beat you until you do!"

There was not a trace of yang energy on Kushina.

"What an incurablely violent woman!" Kurama roared, but there was nothing he could do; after all, he had also attacked this generation's Jinchuriki.

However...

This is outrageous; he couldn't even defeat two generations of Jinchuriki.

One could seal him so tightly that he couldn't even speak, while the other little thing, though young, could unleash black lightning that he couldn't comprehend at his current age.

One punch almost knocked him unconscious.

With power like that, why would you want to be Jinchūriki?

While sulking, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) obediently and "relished" anticipating Shukaku's fate through the shared perspective provided by Kushina.

He's already been beaten, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) won't feel balanced if he doesn't see Shukaku get beaten.

The moment Shukaku was suppressed by Fukuko, the entire battlefield fell silent, with only the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

When I saw the scene where Fukuko easily subdued Shukaku with one hand.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers.

Cheers to Obsidian!

In contrast, the expressions of the Sand Village ninjas were so gloomy they could drip water.

"Fukuyo, what are you doing here?" Ebizo said in a deep voice. "Don't you know that Onoki has bypassed the border defenses and is heading straight for your headquarters?"

"Of course I know." Fu Heiyao did not refute it; it was a fact.

"Then you're going to risk a huge attack on your headquarters by Onoki just to save these insignificant people?"

Ebizo asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya took a deep breath and shouted, "You, don't worry about us, just do what you need to do."

"Yes, Lord Yao, don't worry about us!"

"What an honor it is to sacrifice oneself for the Will of Fire."

"Yes, we're not worth your personal rescue!"

The surviving Konoha ninjas were almost moved to tears the moment they saw Fukuyo appear.

When the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and even their own people, were about to abandon them, Fukuko's ability to come and save them was an unparalleled honor!

Some Uchiha even felt that their lives had been worthwhile.

Even if you die in this situation, you can still brag about it to your friends in the Pure Land.

"Who said I'm going to give up on Iwagakure?" Fu Heiyao's lips curled up as he spoke, and the darkness beneath his feet undulated, as if some kind of power was surging.

The Konoha ninja, who had just been moved and confused, now looked at Fukuyo with a puzzled expression.

"If that's the case, then what exactly are you doing here?"

Ebizo knew that Fushiko was gathering power for a powerful attack, but he still couldn't help asking.

Go ask the answer that both sides want to know.

"Of course, I'll annihilate you all within ten minutes, then teleport to Onoki's location and wipe them out!"

Fu Heiyao's words on the battlefield created an even more shocking effect than the appearance of the tailed beasts earlier.

The Konoha ninjas were all dumbfounded, too shocked to say anything.

Even the most fanatical Uchiha were stunned.

With the Tailed Beasts in front of him, Lord You actually said he would crush the Sand Village army in ten minutes?

That seems unrealistic.

In Sunagakure, Fushiko's words caused an even bigger uproar.

"Arrogant!"

"Kill us all?"

"What a joke! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

Ebizo laughed too; they had a full three hundred ninjas.

He may have been wary of Fu Heiyao's mindless suppression before, but now Fu Heiyao has used that power on Shukaku.

Fu Heiyao is currently being stubborn and indecisive.

If we give up suppressing Shukaku, he will be locked onto by the Tailed Beasts; if we continue to suppress him, we will be worn down here.

Those boasts they just made have naturally become a joke.

"Anyone can talk big," a Sand Village ninja mocked. "Kids from Konoha, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good background and talent."

"Is that so?" Fu Heiyao grinned, then pointed his five fingers downwards, standing on the edge of the abyss.

"Spell Reversal [Return to Nothingness]"
