A large Buddha rose from the ground. Seeing this, Shukaku was somewhat confused. What was happening? Its body, formed from gathered sand, suddenly began to tremble.
For a moment, it was stunned, even ignoring Chiyo over there. "A lie, this must be a lie!"
"Shukaku," Ryun said calmly.
"Huh? How do you know this name! But, whatever. Kid, I advise you not to meddle in others' business." Shukaku showed a bit of cowardice.
"Hmph!" Ryun clapped his hands together. "Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands. Top Transformation Buddha!"
A giant thousand-handed Buddha reached down with one hand and grabbed Shukaku. Shukaku was dumbfounded. It wanted to turn into sand to escape, but the chakra inside its body was now sealed.
Shukaku was lifted up and brought before Ryun. "One-Tail Shukaku, your power is simply too great. For the peace and stability of the ninja world, you need to be sealed."
After speaking, Adamantine Sealing Chains were activated. Eight chains flew out, binding Shukaku tightly. Shukaku immediately withered, its chakra completely sealed. Then the great Buddha disappeared, and Ryun, holding Shukaku, walked towards the four people.
"Hokage-sama, thank you for your assistance," Elder Chiyo said quickly.
Chiron had a bad feeling. Pakura looked at Ryun, thinking that although the gap between them wasn't large before, now it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Heh, Elder Chiyo, you exaggerate. Since your Sunagakure no longer has the ability to control the One-Tail, then Konoha will manage it. For the peace of the ninja world, I will take the One-Tail back to Konoha." The true intention was revealed. Ryun Uchihi did not waste words.
Elder Chiyo's face stiffened, but she knew Ryun was right. Currently, Sunagakure did not have many shinobi of notable caliber. Just resisting Shukaku had used up all their strength.
If they still wanted to keep Shukaku, and Shukaku rampages again, next time it might happen inside the village, potentially leading to the village's destruction.
Right now, the One-Tail Shukaku was a time bomb for Sunagakure, with more disadvantages than advantages. Furthermore, she didn't believe that Ryun would help them apply multiple sealing techniques on a Jinchūriki.
Even if Ryun agreed, would they dare to trust it? If Shukaku broke out, it would be no joke.
"Fine. Sunagakure agrees," Elder Chiyo nodded.
Chiron and Pakura looked at Elder Chiyo and breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone present understood the reasoning. Three people barely managed to defend against it and almost died here. Without the requisite strength, there was no point in trying to keep the Tailed Beast.
Ryun smiled. "Good. We are all allies. Since Sunagakure is willing to part with it graciously, there's no need for a handling fee this time. I hope our two villages maintain good relations from now on!"
After speaking, Ryun walked to Danzō Shimura's side, grabbed his arm, held the One-Tail in his right hand, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Senju clan compound.
At that moment, Tsunade and Mito were in the courtyard discussing Ryun when suddenly a massive chakra presence appeared.
The two instantly became alert.
"Mito-sama... this presence, it feels like the One-Tail Shukaku and Ryun."
"Tsunade-hime... it's that fellow Shukaku and your husband arriving shortly!"
Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade looked at each other, then towards the red light. In an instant, Ryun appeared, holding Danzō Shimura with his right hand and the One-Tail Shukaku with his left.
The Nine-Tails and the Six-Tails looked across the distance, then communicated via mind link. "That thing that looks like a tanuki is the One-Tail?"
"Judging by its shrunken form and chakra nature, it seems to be him."
"Pfft."
"Ahem."
Hearing these two voices, Shukaku immediately shouted. "You two, don't forget, I can hear mental communications too! Stupid fox, and Saiken, you looking for a fight?"
"Oh. Sorry, we forgot about you. A fight? Can you beat me?" the Nine-Tails said flatly.
"Yes, Brother Shukaku, we shouldn't be so impulsive. By the way, how did this happen?" Saiken changed the subject.
Shukaku immediately sighed. "My previous Jinchūriki died. I was released. I thought I could take it out on Sunagakure to get revenge for myself."
"Everything went smoothly at first. Then who the hell knew a giant Buddha would appear, grab me with one hand, seal the chakra flow inside my body, and tell me, 'You are too strong, for the peace of the ninja world, you must be sealed'!" Shukaku said through gritted teeth.
The Six-Tails had no reaction. The Nine-Tails was stunned. "Was the person who caught you this time named Hashirama Senju?" the Nine-Tails asked gravely.
"It wasn't Hashirama Senju, nor was it Madara Uchiha. It was an Uchiha who summoned a giant Buddha," Shukaku sighed.
The Nine-Tails looked strange. It thought Hashirama Senju was the peak, then suddenly remembered the scene where Ryun, for that ideological debate, defeated Hashirama using a Susano'o-clad Buddha.
It suddenly felt a bit sorry for Shukaku. What was going on?
The Nine-Tails shook its head. "You'd better behave yourself later. Be a proper Tailed Beast for your Jinchūriki. Otherwise, you'll suffer badly."
The Six-Tails added, "Mm, it's best to listen. The Third Kazekage was smashed to pieces beyond recognition by that young man who brought you back, in just three moves."
Shukaku's body trembled. The Third Kazekage was killed by this guy? And smashed to pieces? This confused it greatly. Seriously, buddy, if you have this ability, why are you catching me?
Aren't Konoha and Suna enemies? Wouldn't it be better to join me and destroy Suna?
But what Shukaku didn't know was that Sunagakure still had its uses at this time. Ryun could not simply stand by and watch Sunagakure fall into ruin without doing anything.
"Grandmother, and Tsunade." In front of elders, it was better to be restrained and use names.
Uzumaki Mito smiled and nodded, then looked at Danzō.
Danzō quickly bowed. "Greetings to the two Madams!" Danzō Shimura was clever; not knowing how to address them, he called them Madams.
Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito smiled. "You came here for..." Their glances fell on the One-Tail bound by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, and they immediately understood.
"Ryun, Danzō, go over there. I will guard you," the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, appeared. He looked at the two and pointed to his courtyard.
Ryun nodded and walked in with Danzō Shimura.
"Elder Danzō, sit cross-legged and open your clothes," Ryun said calmly.
Danzō Shimura nodded, exposing his chest and abdomen, and closed his eyes.
Ryun spoke again. "One-Tail Shukaku, you'd better behave. Otherwise, I can beat you up again anytime, even after you become Danzō's Tailed Beast."
"What nonsense are you boasting about? By then, can you even..." Before Shukaku could finish speaking, it saw Ryun's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with six tomoe and a wheel-like pattern, rotating.
It immediately recognized the situation and closed its mouth, uttering an "Oh!" It remembered being knocked out by just one look from Madara Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan; it was all too familiar with this power!
Better behave obediently and avoid the suffering of mental torture!
