"Are all the ninja troops in place?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke stood on a rock wall, quietly looking down at a cave in the distance.
"Both the eastern and southern directions are in place, while the western and northern directions are still waiting for the arrival of the sealing team."
A Sarutobi Jonin with a somewhat similar face reported.
"...Let them speed up!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was also quite nervous.
Because the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki is deep in the cave right in front of you!
"Also, let the various ministries not make too much noise! In case the jinchuriki discovers the ambush of the headquarters!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke added another sentence.
The first to search for traces of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki were the Hyuga ninjas under the Sarutobi Shogunate.
Immediately, the overjoyed Shinnosuke Sarutobi inevitably leaked the news, so he immediately controlled the Hyuga ninjas who came to report, and then personally led his troops to the target area. After confirming that the intelligence was correct, he quickly mobilized a large-scale ninja army to set up a siege.
Even though he knew that the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki had been seriously injured at this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke still did not dare to be careless; not only did he remove all the elite members of the Sarutobi clan, but also the Hokage series such as Inorakacho, Shimura, Tenjin, and Mitomon. All the ninja elites were also transferred.
As for the other ninjas who participated in the war and were not closely related to the Hokage family, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was not at ease with them, so he chose to transfer them all to the north and continue to perform the meaningless "inspection mission."
Although his close confidant Jonin also expressed his opinion tactfully on this, believing that doing so would cause dissatisfaction with other ninja clans after the war, Sarutobi Shinnosuke still insisted on his own way.
He also knew that this move would definitely arouse dissatisfaction from all ethnic groups afterwards, but so what?
With the tailed beast in hand, even the Uchiha clan is no match!
At that time, even those as arrogant as Hatake Sakumo and as cruel as Uchiha Tokumitsu will have to bow before him!
For some reason, Sarutobi Shinnosuke subconsciously forgot that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki was actually defeated by Uchiha Tokumitsu and fled...
…
"Niu Gui, is someone here?"
The half-asleep Rabbit was awakened by a series of chakra fluctuations from the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki.
To activate chakra in such a hurry and regardless of his physical condition, it can only mean that an enemy is coming.
"A lot of people……"
The dull voice of the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki echoed in Brübi's mind: "The tentacles placed on the periphery tell me that there are people in all directions."
"It's a pity...my body can't continue to escape..."
Burubi tried to stand up, but his legs were still weak, and he couldn't even support himself upright by leaning on the stalactites.
"After something goes wrong with your body, you will no longer be able to resist the erosion of the tailed beast's chakra."
The voice of the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki sounded again: "If you can't receive treatment, you will die soon!"
"……treat?"
Burubi laughed at himself: "If I had the chance to be treated, would I still be in this situation?"
The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki did not continue to speak.
"Niu Gui...after you were defeated, you ran south on purpose, right?"
Burubi said intermittently: "Otherwise, with your ability, it would not be difficult to escape back to the village..."
"...There is a weirdo in the north who is releasing poison!"
After a while, the dull voice of the eight-tailed ox-demon sounded in Burubi's mind again: "I'm afraid you'll be poisoned to death!"
"But... you took me to escape from the battlefield by drilling into a hole..."
Burubi smiled dumbly, then coughed.
After coughing for a while, Burubi vomited out a stream of blood with black blood clots in it.
"...There's something wrong with your internal organs. I just used chakra to protect them."
The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki said: "But since your own chakra has been exhausted, there is no way to resist the corrosive effect of the tailed beast's chakra."
"In other words, I can't escape death no matter what~"
Blubi sniffed.
After a fit of coughing, he started to have nosebleeds again.
"Yes, it's hopeless."
The voice of the eight-tailed bull ghost was extremely dull: "If you had returned to the village that day, you might still be alive, but now..."
"I see!"
Burubi sniffed again and raised his hand to wipe away the nosebleed that was flowing faster and faster.
"Just...why?"
He was very puzzled.
Although he failed to pass the Kameshima Real Explosion Trial and become a perfect Jinchuuriki, this was mainly because Burubi failed to defeat his "other self" in the test; the relationship between Burubi and the Eight-Tails has always been very good. Yes, and the Eight Tails are very cooperative in every battle and rarely go berserk.
"free."
The eight-tailed ox-ghost didn't hesitate at all, and said bluntly: "You can't give me the freedom I want, so..."
"Brubi, maybe you are a good person, but I'm sorry!"
"I don't want to be caught by those crazy people with red eyes, and I don't want to continue to be trapped in a dark seal!"
"From the moment you fell into a coma and I took control of your body, I longed to regain my freedom!"
"Whether it's the air, the sand, the trees, the sunshine, everything fascinates me!"
"So...do you understand? Burubi..."
After the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki finished speaking, Burubi just sat there and did not respond.
"They are ready..."
I don't know how much time passed before the voice of the eight-tailed bull ghost sounded in Burubi's mind again: "We have also set up a steel barrier. Even if your body is fine, I can't take you away..."
"I see……"
Burubi closed her eyes slightly.
Perhaps it was a flashback, but his mind was extremely clear at this time.
"Is it an Uchiha?"
Blubi asked.
"...Probably not. The tentacles did not sense their dark and gloomy chakra characteristics."
The eight-tailed ox-ghost replied.
"Pity……"
Burubi sighed, "Then... I'll leave the follow-up matters to you..."
"as you wish!"
Following the voice of the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki, streaks of dark red tailed beast chakra surged out of Brübi's body, quickly forming the form of the tailed beast.
Buru, who was wrapped in the tailed beast's chakra, was like an abused rag doll, with skin and flesh all over his body torn and blood gushing out.
"Go ahead..."
Burubi summoned the last trace of chakra and pressed it on the runes sealed by the iron armor.
The chakra he exchanged for his last life completely opened the seal of the Eight-tailed Gyuuki.
"Moo!!!"
As the seal is lifted, the tailed beast's chakra quickly pours out, and the eight-tailed ogre officially escapes from prison!
Blubi was also turned into powder in the frenzy of tailed beast chakra that continued to pour out.
"free!"
The eight-tailed bull ghost let out a roar that shook the sky.
Then the Tailed Beast Jade condensed in his mouth.
"not good!"
The violent chakra fluctuations alerted the Sarutobi Shogunate Ninja Army that had just been deployed outside the cave.
"The tailed beast broke free from the Jinchūriki's seal!"
A Hyuuga ninja who was kidnapped and accompanying him quickly reported the incident.
"Activate the barrier immediately!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression changed drastically, he was angry and anxious.
"Four Red Sun Formation!"
As the thirty-six people divided into four groups released chakra to activate the sealing barrier, a barrier with red transparent flames quickly opened.
"It's Tailed Beast Jade!"
The observing Hyuga ninja let out a shrill cry.
"Continuous Tailed Beast Jade!"
The eight-tailed ox-ghost in the cave is also ready.
Like vomiting, he continuously sprayed multiple concentrated chakra balls towards the top of the cave without taking aim.
"Attention, everyone!"
"Strengthen the barrier!"
The Sarutobi Shogunate ninja army outside the cave immediately fell into chaos.
The Four Red Sun Formation, which looked weak but was actually extremely tough, blocked two Tailed Beast Jade attacks in succession. Then when the third Tailed Beast Jade struck, it turned into pieces like glass smashed by a naughty child. Debris, then dissipated invisible.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A series of bombardments with multiple tailed beast jade bombs blew up the direction of the cave entrance into a mess.
All the ninjas in front of him turned into ashes.
The thirty-six Sarutobi ninjas responsible for activating the barrier all vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"Medical class!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression was extremely ugly, but his tone remained firm.
Immediately, a group of medical ninjas swarmed forward and dragged the fallen Sarutobi ninja back to the rear.
"Ninjutsu preparation!"
"Prepare the sealing technique!"
The Sarutobi shogunate ninja army was also well-trained. Even if they suffered heavy losses, they quickly adjusted under the command of their commander.
"Ape Demon Prepare!"
A group of Sarutobi Jonin immediately summoned their own Saru Demon Psychic Beasts.
"The art of doubling!"
A group of ninjas from the Akimichi clan also quickly activated their secret techniques and prepared for close combat.
"Moo!!!"
With a loud roar, a giant bull-headed statue waving eight octopus tentacles broke out of the ground!
"The complete eight-tails!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's yellow teeth almost shattered in anger.
"Sealing magic circle!"
A group of sealed ninjas didn't have time to think too much and immediately activated the prepared sealing barrier.
A series of red chakra ropes rolled towards the eight-tailed bull ghost that was swaying majestically.
"Moo!"
The eight-tailed bull ghost let out a loud roar again, then lowered his head and revealed two huge horns.
"Savage collision!"
Wrapped in the dark red tailed beast chakra shield, the eight-tailed ox-ogi began to run forward, and the tailed beast's horns formed by highly condensed chakra picked up the rolled chakra ropes one by one.
Under the trampling of its huge body, the ground vibrated like a muffled thunder.
"Fire Escape: The Art of Fierce Flames!"
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
The first team of Sarutobi ninjas stepped forward and launched a swarm ninjutsu attack at the eight-tailed Gyuuki that was running towards them.
"Thunder Escape·Four-Pillar Binding Technique!"
Several condensed lightning escape chains broke through the ground and restrained the four hooves of the eight-tailed ox-demon, but they were quickly broken free.
But the ensuing ninjutsu attack left the Eight-Tailed Gyuki with no time to dodge!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A series of cluster ninjutsu continued to hit the Eight-Tailed Gyuki's body, causing continuous explosions and smoke.
"Everyone, come on!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked around and ordered.
…
In the distance, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Sansho Hanzo stood on top of a treetop, quietly watching the battle ahead against the tailed beasts.
Hinata Hizashi stood on a slightly shorter tree trunk, with blue veins popping out of his white eyes, carefully observing the details of the battle between the Eight-Tails and the Sarutobi Ninja Army.
Although the inspection team under Uchiha Tokumitsu has not found any trace of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki for the time being, Uchiha Tokumitsu secretly channeled the Two-Tailed Mata Brigade, allowing it to sense the approximate location of the Eight-Tailed Gyoshi, and based on Hinata Hizashi's observation of the gathering position of the Sarutobi Ninja Army determined the approximate hiding place of the Eight-Tailed Gyushi.
As for Hatake Sakumo, he claimed that he had no means to compete with the tailed beast, so he returned to the camp to negotiate with the Iwagakure envoy from afar.
"What a thrilling battle..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded seemingly in approval: "It seems that the Hokage clan is not completely useless. The private army of the Sarutobi clan is still good ~ You think so, Mr. Hanzo?"
"...When are you going to take action?"
Sanshouyu Hanzo did not answer Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.
He knew that nothing good could come out of Uchiha Tokko's mouth.
"Wait, not enough people died!"
Sanshouyu Hanzo didn't answer, and Uchiha Tokumitsu replied boredly.
Hinata Hizashi felt a chill, but did not dare to make a sound, so he had to continue to perform the combat observation mission ordered by Uchiha Tokumitsu.
