Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 253 Showdown with Shukaku, He's Still Acting

"Buha!"

"They're finally out!!!"

When Shukaku unleashes its full form, it's like a husky that's been locked in a dark room for a long time, roaring wildly to the sky, its whole body radiating destructive energy.

Shukaku's largest tail among the nine tailed beasts was now like a frolicking husky, wildly pounding its surroundings.

Boom!

Boom!

The ground around them, already cratered from Li Yao's clay birds, was severely damaged once again.

On the roof of the Kazekage Building, Chiyo and the others stared blankly at Shukaku, who was running wild and barking in the distance, speechless.

"How is that possible?"

"How did Shukaku get out?"

"What about sharing the blessings?"

Chiyo's question, which was met with a drastic change in expression, went unanswered. Even the usually composed Ebizo lost his composure at this moment.

Watanabe and the others looked desperate and at a loss.

"Why...of all times?"

Yekura swayed, sensed the remaining chakra in her body, then turned and ran towards her sister.

At this moment, all she wanted was to find her sister and take her away from Shukaku.

As for that bastard Fengxing, he can only rely on himself.

"Shukaku...is out!"

"Quickly, you young ones, get into the shelter. The rest of you, follow me."

"Quickly, we must drive Shukaku out of the village."

Soon, someone realized what was happening and sent the younger people into the shelter, while the older people went to stop Shukaku and drive him out of the village.

Otherwise, if Shukaku were to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball in the village, the shelter would be useless, and everyone would die.

All the older ninjas spontaneously ran towards Shukaku.

Even though their chakra was nearly depleted, they did not back down.

It must be said that every ninja village has some people who are willing to risk their lives for the village.

"Where is Luo Sha?"

"I remember that brat Rasa learned Magnet Release from the Third Kazekage. Where is he?"

Chiyo suddenly realized something and shouted at the people around her.

"Go and call him here quickly," Chiyo said.

"Yes, we will go find Lord Rasa and Lord Chiyo right away."

The three ANBU ninjas immediately obeyed and left.

Magnet Release, besides being the bane of puppeteers, has another important function: suppressing the power of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

You could even say that.

Magnet Release is a ninjutsu developed during research on Shukaku's sand control abilities, and it can suppress Shukaku's sand control abilities.

The Third Kazekage used Magnet Release to suppress the rampaging Shukaku several times and reseal it.

"It's no use, sister."

At this moment, Ebizo suddenly shook his head at Chiyo and said, "Even if Rasa had only recently mastered Magnet Release, and was already very proficient, after the battle just now, how much chakra does he have left?"

Indeed, when Rasa saw Shukaku emerge, he felt a wave of helplessness.

If he has enough chakra, he can give it a try.

Now, there's nothing he can do.

"What should we do then?" Chiyo asked in exasperation.

Ebizo didn't speak, but looked at Li Yaofeng's clone. Chiyo also looked at Li Yaofeng's clone, but against Shukaku, Li Yaofeng's clone's ultimate move, which required three minutes to activate, was obviously a bit clumsy.

They no longer had enough chakra to buy Li Yaofeng's clones another three minutes.

"Found you! It's you guys!"

"I'll wipe you all out!"

Overjoyed, Shukaku finally turned his attention to humans. Soon, he locked onto Li Yao's Wind Release clones and their group on the Kazekage Building, especially Chiyo and Ebizo.

Shukaku harbors endless murderous intent towards the two humans who once participated in suppressing and sealing it.

"Wind Release - Practice Air Bullet!"

Just like a ninja performing ninjutsu, Shukaku's belly suddenly swelled up, and then he slapped his belly with his hand.

Bang!

A massive wind blast, brimming with terrifying chakra, immediately shot out from its mouth and flew towards the Kazekage Building.

Boom!

Nothing along the way, whether buildings or the ground, could stop Shukaku from firing this wind bullet filled with chakra.

"not good!"

"Sister, get out of the way!"

Ebizo reminded his sister to dodge, and then jumped to the side himself. The others also changed their expressions and took their own actions.

"hateful!"

"It's too late!"

The depletion of their chakra reserves made their physical reaction abilities much slower, and coupled with Shukaku's Void Bullet, which was fast and had a wide attack range, they simply couldn't dodge it.

Just when everyone was filled with despair, Li Yaofeng, through his clone, knew that it was time for him to turn the tide once again.

call out!

Li Yao's Wind Release clone instantly appeared at the edge of the rooftop. Facing the massive chakra blast hurtling towards him, he stretched out his right hand.

"Wind Release: Shattered Mist!"

A series of sharp wind-style slashes crisscrossed, forming a fine grid like a tennis racket. The slashes instantly arrived from the right palm of Li Yao's wind-style clone, blocking the way in front of the Wind Shadow Building.

hiss!

When Shukaku's massive chakra blast struck the fine mesh of the wind-style slash, it instantly disintegrated into countless fine breezes, much like tofu being sliced ​​open by a steel wire.

Even the immense chakra contained within the Void-Refining Bullet was torn apart in that instant, unable to form a stable wind bullet, and scattered into a gust of wind.

Peng!

An endless gale swept across the Wind Shadow Building, scattering it to both sides and stirring up a cloud of dust.

Unable to see the actual situation, Shukaku thought he had hit the target and was laughing wildly.

Although the gusts of wind were strong, they were insignificant compared to the damage caused by being directly attacked by the wind projectiles.

"We're saved!"

"It's Lord Fengxing!"

The people on the rooftop were overjoyed to see that it was Li Yaofeng's clone who had blocked Shukaku's attack in front of them.

"That's amazing!"

"It can even block Shukaku's power!"

On the rooftop, everyone stared at the young figure with his back to them, as if the strongest Third Kazekage and Kazekage of all time had overlapped.

reliable!

Peace of mind!

A mix of complex yet reassuring emotions welled up in everyone's hearts.

"Windwalker, your chakra..."

Chiyo didn't lose her composure; she immediately asked with concern.

That terrifying escape technique was certainly powerful, but it also consumed a terrifying amount of chakra.

Just like the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, his Dust Release was powerful, but the chakra it consumed was also terrifying.

After a battle, one can only unleash a few large-scale Dust Release attacks before their chakra is depleted to the point where they can no longer use Dust Release.

It is precisely because of this weakness, which is not a weakness, that Onoki's Dust Release does not put too much pressure on everyone during the war.

Otherwise, Onoki, who could use Dust Release as a regular Fire Release ninjutsu, would be unstoppable.

Even the God of Ninjas might have trouble surviving if he were alive.

Therefore, Chiyo knew very well that after killing that mysterious clay explosion ninja and blocking Shukaku's chakra wind bullet, Li Yao's wind release clone must have consumed a lot of chakra.

At this point, there's no need to risk Li Yaofeng's clone.

If all else fails, they can leave first, recover some chakra, and then come back to seal Shukaku.

Although this would involve some sacrifices, it's still better than sending Li Yaofeng's clones to their deaths.

However, despite Chiyo's concern, Li Yao's Wind Release clone turned his back to her and said firmly, "Don't worry, Lady Chiyo, even if it costs me my life, I will stop Shukaku."

After saying that, Li Yaofeng activated his clone's mind, and a terrifying burst of chakra erupted from his body.

However, as this terrifying chakra appeared, the hair of Li Yao's wind-escape clone instantly turned from black to white.

Seeing this, Chiyo and the others knew that Li Yao's Wind Release clone had used the cost of consuming his lifespan to obtain the chakra to launch another attack on Shukaku.

For a moment, Chiyo's eyes were slightly moist.

What a great man he was; he fully deserved the title of Wind Shadow.

At that moment, everyone else was also moved by Li Yaofeng's selfless act of creating a clone.

"Lady Chiyo, I'm entrusting the village to you."

"I will take Shukaku outside the village and will not let it threaten the safety of the village."

Without waiting for Chiyo's response, Li Yaofeng's clone activated his wind armor and instantly disappeared from the rooftop, flying towards Shukaku in the distance.
