Chapter 371: Capture Fenfu alive! Mission completion rate 1/9! Second update!
"Lightning Release: Chidori!"
In the gaps of Shukaku and Shinya's close combat, Fujiwara Tetsuya continuously moved around Shukaku.
The screeching Chidori left one Lightning Release burn mark after another on Shukaku's body.
Although this attack was not fatal to Shukaku, who possessed sand manipulation abilities, it caused Shukaku's state to become increasingly out of control.
"Shukaku, calm down. Don't let your mind be swayed by violent emotions."
In the sea of consciousness, Bunpuku, after sensing the situation outside, continuously called out to Shukaku, hoping that this method would help Shukaku calm down... to avoid doing something similar to spitting a Tailed Beast Ball at the core of the battlefield again.
However, Bunpuku's efforts were destined to be in vain.
In its enraged state, after being slapped by Shinya's tail, Shukaku forcibly shut down Bunpuku's sea of consciousness.
"It seems I've finally found it..."
Looking at Shukaku's Shield blocking his way, Fujiwara Tetsuya wasn't disheartened that his Chidori thrust was blocked by Shukaku.
As he murmured, the light in his eyes became even more brilliant.
After dodging the Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet spat from Shukaku's mouth, Fujiwara Tetsuya somersaulted several times in the air, landing steadily on Shinya's head.
"Shinya, use petrifying venom. Please help me restrict Shukaku's movements... You don't need too long, five seconds will do."
"Five seconds?"
"Alright, I'll do my best..."
Feeling the sharp pain in his abdomen, Shinya's gaze towards Shukaku gradually revealed a hint of apprehension.
Compared to Shukaku, the attack methods it possessed were indeed a bit singular.
"Petrify!"
The moment Shinya spewed a large amount of venom, its agile snake body quickly moved forward, firmly coiling around Shukaku, restraining its movements.
"Earth Release: Super Lightened Boulder Technique!"
"Ox—Hare—Monkey!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"
As an upgraded version of Chidori, Lightning Blade involved more profound Chakra nature transformations, and this transformation also gave Lightning Blade stronger piercing capabilities.
"Damn it ~ You annoying human brat, you won't hurt Bunpuku."
Sensing the threat emanating from Fujiwara Tetsuya's hands, Shukaku struggled relentlessly amidst angry roars, attempting to break free from Shinya's snake body's restraint.
"It's over, Shukaku!"
"If there's a chance, let's have a proper fight again next time!"
Boom~~~
Under the thrust of Lightning Blade, the Sand Shield in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya was torn into countless tiny sand streams as easily as paper.
Then, amidst Shukaku's painful roars, it heavily struck Shukaku's abdomen... In an instant, large areas of its sand body began to crack, gradually revealing Bunpuku's figure.
"This state... is he unconscious?"
"Shukaku, it seems that compared to your bond with Bunpuku, my bond with Shinya is stronger!"
"Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Sealing Technique!"
As countless complex seals spread, they gradually covered Bunpuku's entire body.
And Shukaku, under the forced restraint of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, once again returned into Bunpuku's body.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating the One-Tail Jinchuriki (Perfect Form). Mission completion progress (1/9). System rewards are being settled..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for acquiring 50,000 points of Slaughter Value, a permanent 10% increase in physique, and a permanent 20% increase in Chakra!"
Listening to the notification sound in his mind, Fujiwara Tetsuya, carrying the still unconscious Bunpuku, lightly leaped back onto Shinya's head.
"Shinya, this time... I really bothered you."
"When the war ends, I'll treat you to the Akimichi Clan's secret grilled meat from Konoha. That's a truly exquisite delicacy."
"Hmph~ Lord Shinya doesn't care for such things..."
"However, since it's your intention, Tetsuya, Lord Shinya will reluctantly agree."
..."Gulp~"
"Defeated~ Defeated!"
"Master Bunpuku was defeated..."
"How is that possible? That's the Ichibi... the Ichibi! A monster with nation-destroying power, how could it be defeated so easily?"
...Shukaku's disappearance was destined not to be hidden from the Ninja of both sides on the battlefield.
After all, its body, comparable to a hundred-meter-tall mountain, truly possessed an unrivaled shock value for humans.
Strictly speaking, the impact of Bunpuku and Shukaku's defeat on Sunagakure was far more difficult to accept... and more deterrent than Ebizo's defeat at the hands of Sakumo Hatake.
Amidst countless chaotic exclamations, the battle line constructed by Sunagakure gradually began to collapse... Many elite Konoha squads, taking advantage of this gap, broke into the heart of the Sunagakure battlefield, completely cutting off Sunagakure's command system.
"Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"
"Shinya! Before we return to Ryūchi Cave, let's cause some more havoc and completely crush these Sunagakure Ninja..."
...The direction of the war was already decided the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya and Shinya turned and charged into the battle array.
Under the combined efforts of Fujiwara Tetsuya and Shinya, one elite Sunagakure squad after another was annihilated... Facing Konoha's full-scale offensive, the Sunagakure Ninja, who held an absolute numerical advantage, only held out for an hour before completely collapsing... retreating desperately towards Sunagakure.
After leading the Konoha Ninja in pursuit for several miles, Fujiwara Tetsuya began to withdraw to clean up the battlefield.
With the One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku in hand, it was enough for the current Konoha.
It was enough to force the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and others to withdraw their troops from the Land of Rain... The external war situation for Konoha would also take a turn due to Bunpuku's capture.
"Tetsuya... you actually captured Sunagakure's One-Tail Jinchuriki."
Not long after Fujiwara Tetsuya led many Konoha Ninja back to Po Suo Oasis, Sakumo Hatake also ended his battle with Ebizo and returned safely... However, when Sakumo Hatake saw Bunpuku, who was still unconscious, his eyes widened instinctively.
Jinchuriki? Bunpuku was indeed a Jinchuriki.
But what had just appeared on the battlefield was clearly the perfect form of Shukaku, wasn't it?
For a moment, Sakumo Hatake suddenly felt a sense of frustration, even feeling that the times were developing too quickly, and secretly wondered if he was already old.
"It's not my credit!"
"Speaking of which, being able to suppress Shukaku and capture Master Bunpuku, it's all Shinya's credit."
"Without Shinya, with Shukaku's terrifying body, Chakra, and rapid healing ability alone, even if I drained all my Chakra, I wouldn't be able to achieve this."
Regarding this, Fujiwara Tetsuya was not deliberately shirking responsibility.
Everything he said was based on his own strength. In a geographical environment like the Land of Wind, dealing with a Tailed Beast of that level, he still lacked a decisive trump card.
However, he didn't know if it was Fujiwara Tetsuya's illusion, but he always felt... when he mentioned the words 'drained all'.
Suddenly, a hot and shy gaze appeared behind him!
