Hunting tailed beasts has been an extremely dangerous thing since ancient times.
That's why Sarutobi Shinnosuke once threatened before going into battle, "As long as the tailed beasts don't look at the casualty figures."
Although these words are very cold-blooded, they also well express his determination to capture the tailed beast at all costs.
Even when the thirty-six members of the Sarutobi tribe who worked together to set up a barrier were shaken by the power of the Tailed Beast Tama and vomited blood and fell to the ground when the barrier was broken, Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not even look at them.
Even if the Nara ninja who used the shadow restraint technique to restrict the movement of the Eight-tailed Gyuuki was forced to break free from the shackles of the secret technique and suffered a backlash from the ninjutsu, even if the Akimichi ninjas were swept by the tail of the Eight-tailed Ushiuki and flew around like broken dolls, even if the Nara ninja who performed the charge mission were The monkey demon was bitten one by one by the eight-tailed ox-ghost and was seriously injured before returning to the psychic beast colony...
Sarutobi Shinnosuke remained unmoved.
And the ninjas of the mountain clan who used spiritual magic to link various ministries to attack the ninja army were all frightened.
The rate of personnel losses in various ninja squadrons was simply shocking.
However, according to Sarutobi Shinnosuke's order before the war, the Yamanaka tribesmen were only responsible for serving as central liaison officers to pass down orders, and did not need to report battle damage upwards to avoid shaking the commander's determination.
"The power of the tailed beast... is too terrifying..."
In the spiritual network of the mountain clan, the mountain ninjas are panicked.
"Shinnosuke-sama is too cold-blooded..."
"Sealing Seal!"
After another group of Sarutobi shogunate ninja troops were forced back by the Eight-tailed Gyuuki's tail, several red chakra ropes successfully wrapped around the Eight-tailed Gyuuki's huge body.
Then, under the control of the sealing squad, another chakra rope wrapped around the eight-tailed ox-demon's hind hooves.
"very good!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately perked up.
The attack regardless of casualties is just for this moment!
Sealing Technique is a magical ninjutsu system that can make a big difference with a small one.
Although this ninjutsu system is not widely spread in the ninja world due to reasons such as the high threshold for practice and harsh conditions for use, no one will deny the power and effect of the sealing technique.
It's just that the function of sealing requires prerequisites.
The Tail Sealing Technique is modified based on the Vajra Sealing Principle in the Uzumaki Secret Book that fell into the hands of the Sarutobi clan. It lowers the requirements for the sealing technique and replaces it with a sealing technique specialized Jonin. Multiple ordinary ninjas jointly output chakra to form a rope to restrain the giant enemy, and prepare for subsequent ninjutsu strikes and sealing restraints.
The speed of the chakra rope composed of the tail-sealing seal technique is relatively slow, and a single chakra rope cannot restrain the tailed beast, so Sarutobi Shinnosuke also mobilized all his sealing squads and threw them all into the battlefield.
"Thunder Plow Crash!"
The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki quickly twisted its body, waving a pair of horns to push away the chakra ropes flying one after another. The eight tails also flew in the sky, blocking or deflecting the ninjutsu.
For a while, the two sides were in a deadlock.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Sanshouyu Hanzo in the distance also looked at it very seriously.
The method used by the Sarutobi Shogunate to capture the tailed beasts and Uchiha Tokumitsu's battle against the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki are completely different.
Uchiha Tokumitsu relied on his personal tyrannical combat power to fight head-on, and used illusions to shake the connection between the Jinchuuriki and the sealed tailed beasts. It was pure force to subdue.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's capture method is more equivalent to ancient humans using tools to hunt ferocious beasts, relying on clever arrangements and taking human lives to delay the tailed beast's actions.
"It seems that it makes sense for Konoha to become the number one ninja village in the ninja world..."
Sanshouyu Hanzo took the initiative and said: "Such a bloody fighting style, the rain ninja really can't realize it."
"It's just a pity for these loyal and brave ninjas."
Uchiha Tokko replied with a frown.
In the distance, the bombardment of high-level ninjutsu made the Eight-tailed Gyoshi unable to stabilize his figure. He was unable to continue to condense chakra to emit tailed beast jade, and he was unable to break free from the shackles of the chakra rope.
The ninja army of the Sarutobi Shogunate could not completely trap the Eight-tailed Gyushi for the next stage of sealing, and could only continue to consume it like this.
But the problem is that in theory, the chakra of a tailed beast is unlimited. As long as the chakra output does not exceed a certain threshold in a short period of time, the tailed beast can fight indefinitely.
If Sarutobi Shinnosuke's men can support enough chakra ropes to wrap around the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki for sealing, then all the sacrifices will be worth it.
At most, Uchiha Tokumitsu could only go on stage and kill the tied tailed beast.
If there is no way to completely trap the tailed beast, the Sarutobi Ninja Army's ninjutsu output will not be able to sustain it for long.
And seeing this situation, I don’t know how long the two sides will remain in a stalemate.
It seems that we still need to add more fire to them...
Uchiha Tokko thought as he touched his chin.
"Hizashi-kun... inform the ninja troops at the rear for me."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Hinata Hizashi at the tree trunk at his feet.
"Follow...ok."
Hinata Hizashi responded immediately.
Then, Hinata Hizashi took out a command flag from his arms and waved it towards the back.
The Hyuga ninjas in the rear who were observing the movement in front in real time noticed the command flags on the front line and immediately sent the message to the rear.
Then, the Tokumitsu shogunate's ninja army, dozens of miles away, made a roar and came to kill them all.
And the movement of hundreds of elite ninja troops, even though they were still dozens of miles away, was detected by the sensing ninjas of the Sarutobi Shogunate.
"Sir Shinnosuke, there are a large number of ninja troops approaching quickly from the northeast!"
The sensing ninja rushed to report to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
"Explore quickly!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke became anxious upon hearing this!
Although his ninja army did not have a complete advantage, they had suppressed the Eight-Tailed Gyuki to a certain extent and were looking for an opportunity to complete the tailed beast seal!
If the ninja army of the Tokko Shogunate came over at this time, the "peaches" that the Sarutobi ninja army had worked so hard to cultivate might become the possession of the Uchiha clan!
"Order the second reserve team to mobilize to the north and block all comers!"
Angry and anxious, Sarutobi Shinnosuke ordered: "Anyone who breaks into the war zone without permission...must be stopped!"
He wanted to say that all intruders would be killed, but then he thought about it, and it seemed that the ninja army under his command was no match for Uchiha...
"First Reserve Team, come with me!"
After giving instructions on the relevant matters, Sarutobi Shinnosuke no longer hesitated and personally led the final reserve team to rush forward and personally participated in the battle with the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki.
"He's anxious, he's anxious!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was observing the battle situation, was also happy.
"What a restless young man..."
Sanshouyu Hanzo also shook his head.
As the commander of a ninja army, it is really unreasonable to be disrupted by Uchiha Tokumitsu's small plan.
What's more, he dispatched his ninja troops to go north to try to stop them... This was even asking for death.
According to Uchiha Tokimitsu, it was Sarutobi Shinnosuke who had a way to die.
"It's not necessarily because he can't keep his composure, it's just that he takes the tailed beast too seriously."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was very cheerful: "After all, it is too uncomfortable to ask for something but not get it so close. It is reasonable to make some stupid moves..."
"It seems that Danzo's lesson in being seriously injured when he went into battle was not enough. As a dignified shogun, the little monkey actually led his subordinates to die. I really don't know if this person is brave or brainless..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's comments were quite vicious.
Sanshouyu Hanzo felt a little embarrassed.
Because Shimura Danzo was seriously injured by him on the eastern battlefield of Rain Country.
"...Lord Tokumitsu, is there anything wrong with Shinnosuke's move?"
Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but ask: "You have frequently witnessed the battlefield and made great achievements in battle, but why do you comment on Shinnosuke personally leading the ninja army to attack?"
Although Hinata Hizashi did not directly say the word "double standards", his tone expressed this meaning.
"oh?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at Hinata Hizashi in surprise.
Even Sansho Hanzo, who didn't even look at him, lowered his head and looked at Hinata Hizashi.
"Excuse me...is there anything wrong with my question?"
After Hinata Hizashi asked the previous sentence, he immediately began to regret it.
According to rumors in Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu is extremely narrow-minded and often caressing. If I ask him directly, he might annoy this red-eyed person!
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that it's surprising that Hizashi-kun would ask such a question."
Of course there is a problem!
Although Dora has been around for quite a while, he has not been inspired by ambitions like ordinary ninjas. This can only mean that the Hyuga clan's self-restraint in the mental prison is more stubborn than a caged bird!
"Actually the reason is very simple..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu patiently explained: "Because I am much stronger than the little monkey of the Sarutobi family, so even if I rush into the battle in person, not many people can cause harm to me, plus the ninja army under my command is not bad." Being well-trained, I basically don’t need to be too involved in the specific command, so I will play in person when my hands are itchy.”
"...Is that so?"
Hinata Hizashi didn't expect Uchiha Tokumitsu's answer to be so direct.
But looking at the way Hanzo nodded repeatedly, he knew that Uchiha Tokumitsu was deliberately trying to fool him.
At this time, the reserve team of the ninja army of the Sarutobi Shogunate who had been assigned to go north also stopped not far away, and did not dare to approach the woods where Uchiha Tokumitsu and Sanho Hanzo were.
"Really..."
Toward these fearless Sarutobi ninja troops, Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but shake his head.
"The monkey tribe is really rude, don't you think so, Hizashi-kun~"
…
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Ashes Burning Technique!"
After the reserve team led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke joined in the roundup of the tailed beasts, they quickly used ninjutsu to temporarily suppress the vitality of the Eight-tailed Gyuuki and exposed it to the burning and smoldering heat of high-temperature smoke.
"Thunder Release: Sixteen Pillar Binding Technique!"
"Fire Escape·Su-burning Technique!"
Then a barrier composed of thunder escape trapped the eight-tailed ox-ogi inside, and the flames of the no-burning technique continued to burn on the tailed beast's body.
It's just that the chakra rope that originally restrained the Eight-tailed Gyuuki was also broken free or accidentally damaged.
"Prepare the Four Elephants Seal!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't care about anything else, he blushed and ordered.
Then another team of sealing class ninjas removed the chakra rope that sealed the seal, and stepped forward to prepare the magic circle of the four elephant seals.
As the sealing curses spread like tadpoles, the eight-tailed cow-ghost trapped in the Sixteen Pillar Barrier of Thunder Dunk became even more playful.
"Sir Shinnosuke, you are ready!"
The sealing class ninja said to Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "It's just that the consumption of the tailed beasts during the battle did not reach the expected level. The effect of the sealing technique will be somewhat compromised, and there may be some risks..."
In his hand he was holding a pot made of chakra metal, which was a sealing ninja tool that was made in advance and intended to be used to imprison the tailed beast.
“What are the chances of failure?”
Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked anxiously.
He has already given up on his original plan, and at this time there is no room for even the slightest possibility of failure.
"I can't say for sure... The main reason is that the strength of the sealing ninja tool may not be able to restrain a tailed beast in such a state..."
The sealing class master replied quietly.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyelids twitched, and the anxiety in his heart almost turned into flames.
"Is there any way to increase the chance of sealing success?"
"... Just continue attacking as planned to consume the power of the tailed beast."
"Aren't you talking nonsense!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke became even more angry.
He naturally knew that the chance of successful sealing was higher according to the original plan, but the problem was that Uchiha Tokumitsu's ninja army was about to arrive, and he didn't want to make wedding clothes for others in vain!
Even though he had sent people to stop him, he actually had no expectations as to whether he could intercept it or whether Uchiha Tokumitsu would give him face.
"...Then I will do my best."
The sealing class ninja did not dare to quibble, and mainly said: "We can't find a candidate for the Jinchuuriki in a short period of time..."
"Jinchūriki!"
When Sarutobi Shinnosuke heard this, his mind suddenly moved and his face became solemn: "Check whether my compatibility is suitable!"
"grown ups……"
The sealing class ninja was immediately stunned.
Being a jinchūriki is no fun.
Not only are jinchūriki regarded as monsters and rejected and discriminated against, but according to the practices of each ninja village, jinchūriki are destined not to become a real high-level person in the village. They will only be treated as a dangerous ultimate weapon, and they themselves are also a constant threat. Everyone must be on guard in case the tailed beast goes wild and causes damage.
Furthermore, the Eight-Tails was one of the tailed beasts assigned to Kumogakure in the first generation. Such blatant plundering would inevitably cause controversy among the various countries in the ninja world...
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's strength is not weak, and he is also the best among the Jounin in Konoha. There is really no need to take such a risk!
"examine!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke ordered firmly.
The sealing class leader didn't dare to say anything, and quickly activated the sealing circle to extract a trace of the remaining tailed beast chakra, and injected it into Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body for observation.
"The fit is seventy percent..."
The sealing class master replied hesitantly.
That means there is a 30% chance of failure...
Moreover, the degree of compatibility is actually only a little higher than that of ordinary people, and the subsequent control of the tailed beast is also a big problem.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke tore his jounin vest to pieces and walked into the center of the sealing circle without saying a word.
"grown ups……"
The sealing class jonin was still hesitant.
"Execute the seal!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt.
He was also driven into panic.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was under too much pressure.
The reason why he chose to become a Jinchuriki was because he really didn't want to fail in his success.
Although his subordinates were not asked to report the number of casualties, Sarutobi Shinnosuke initially estimated that the ninja casualties had already exceeded 200...
You know, this is the core elite force of the Hokage series!
In addition, by sacrificing himself as a Jinchuuriki, even if Uchiha Tokumitsu arrived, he would not dare to extract the tailed beast from himself!
"As you command!"
The sealing class ninja stopped arguing and immediately rushed back to his position to prepare to activate the sealing seal.
…
Uchiha Tokumitsu in the distance also paid attention to the strange movements in front of him.
Although his Sharingan does not see as far as the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, he can still make a rough guess.
"really not bad……"
Uchiha Tokko smiled and said: "There is still a real hero in the Shinobu family..."
And he's really tough.
…
"Activate the seal!"
Following the order from the seal class leader, tadpole curse seals spread towards the Sixteen Pillar Barrier of Thunder Dungeon.
Then the curse seal wrapped around the body of the eight-tailed ox-demon in the barrier.
At this time, the eight-tailed ox-ghost seemed to have given up struggling, and began to stare at the sealing circle outside the barrier with a pair of bull's eyes.
"Four Symbols Seal·Seal!"
Following the order of the sealing class jonin, the curse seal quickly covered every part of the eight-tailed Gyushi from bottom to top.
"compression!"
Ninja in the sealing class saw that the progress was going extremely smoothly, and he became excited inside.
The barrier of the Sixteen Pillars of Lei Dun was also removed.
Under the influence of the curse seal, the Eight-tailed Gyoshi was compressed smaller and smaller, and was pulled towards Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the middle of the circle.
A swirling seal mark appeared on Sarutobi Shinnosuke's abdomen.
"Humanity……"
Although the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki's face was dull, the hatred in his heart was surging like a tsunami.
"seal!"
The sealing class jounin gave another order, and the curse seal binding the eight-tailed Gyuuki quickly rotated, its size was suppressed even smaller, and flew towards Sarutobi Shinnosuke's abdomen under the influence of the vortex.
It's about to succeed!
"Octopus Leg Substitution Technique!"
Just when the miniature version of the tailed beast's head was about to fly into Sarutobi Shinnosuke's abdomen, the eight tails of the Eight-Tailed Gyushi were all broken, and the body bound by dense curse seals also changed places with one of the tails!
And the curse seal that originally bound the tail was quickly broken and dissipated by its body!
"not good!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately felt bad!
Then the tails of the tailed beast flew into the sealing barrier in its belly, and the tailless body of the eight-tailed ox-ghost immediately grew in size!
"Moo!"
With a roar that resounded throughout the world, "Tailless" Ushiki raised his hoof and stepped on Sarutobi Shinnosuke into the ground.
"Prepare the sealing seal!"
The sealing class ninja immediately exclaimed.
But it was too late.
"Savage collision!"
The "Tailless" Gyuuki, who was not bound by the chakra rope of the sealing technique, raised his horns and rushed into the panicked Sarutobi ninja army.
…
"I think...you won't think about stopping me at this time, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to the Sarutobi Ninja Army not far away with a smile.
Faced with such changes, the Sarutobi Ninja Army's intention to serve as jonin was also thrown into confusion.
"Mr. Hanzo, I have to ask you to come with me to clean up the mess~"
Uchiha Tokimitsu ignored a group of Sarutobi idiots and said to Sanshouyu Hanzo.
"What a hard life..."
Sanshouyu Hanzo snorted coldly, jumped up with Uchiha Tokumitsu, and ran towards the eight-tailed ogre that was killing people.
I will start working all night at 11 o'clock, so I can only do one update today, and I will report it with two updates tomorrow. I ask for your understanding~
By the way, I’m asking for votes~ I’m asking for monthly tickets and I’m asking for recommendations.
