"Damn it!"
Sasuke looked at Shukaku leaving triumphantly, feeling very unwilling. As someone from the Uchiha Clan, he was actually looked down upon by this thing. He, who was always proud and arrogant, couldn't stand it.
But Shukaku's power was too strong. Even the big toad Naruto summoned wasn't a match for Shukaku. Going up there would be like asking for death.
Shukaku's figure slowly approached Konoha, recklessly venting its power. The immense pressure slowly enveloped Konoha. At this moment, everyone was plunged into deep fear.
Konoha, Neji arrived halfway, but suddenly noticed Shukaku's approaching Chakra, and was immediately stunned.
Shukaku? Wasn't he supposed to have been defeated by Naruto? Why is he here?
But in an instant, he understood. Naruto was really unreliable.
No need to think about it, Naruto must have been defeated.
"Naruto, you really are the most unpredictable," Neji said bitterly.
After weighing the options, he immediately ran to stop Shukaku.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was old, but at least he was a Hokage, and he wouldn't die for a while. But if Shukaku entered the village, Konoha would be completely destroyed.
"Konoha, you owe me a big one for this."
At this moment, Shukaku had already arrived at the edge of Konoha's walls. Although Konoha was currently experiencing battle and was in ruins everywhere, this didn't affect Shukaku's mood at all.
"You insects, get ready to welcome me, wahahaha..."
Shukaku raised its hands high, cheering like a child, occasionally slapping the city walls, causing the entire wall to shake.
Even more frightening was that with a wave of its hand, dust filled the air, and the outskirts of Konoha were almost turned into a desert.
This was a tailed beast, capable of changing the terrain and mountains at will.
On the city walls, a large number of Konoha Ninja were already standing, nervously staring at Shukaku. Seeing this scene, the fear in their hearts grew even greater. How could they win against such a big guy?
"No matter what, we must stop him from entering the village," an Anbu said.
"Right, hold on until the Hokage escapes."
"Go!"
Then, a group of people used various Ninjutsu and exploding tags to throw at Shukaku. Shukaku had expected this, and allowed these Ninjutsu to hit him. In his eyes, these attacks were just scratching an itch.
"Yahaha..."
At this time, more and more Konoha Ninja came after hearing the news and began to fight hard to resist Shukaku.
Many ninja were in good order. Although fearful, they were not timid. They had withstood the Nine Tails' rampage. Could the One Tail cause even more trouble?!
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet."
"Shadow Imitation Technique."
"Multi-Size Technique."
"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado."
All the ninja used their skills, risking their lives to stop Shukaku from entering the village.
The Aburame Clan constantly controlled insects with other ninja to destroy the sand armor covering Shukaku's exterior.
The few members of the Nara Clan, in cooperation with the Akimichi Clan who had already used the Multi-Size Technique, struggled to restrain Shukaku's movements.
"Hahahaha, my power is far more than this," Shukaku laughed loudly, even though it was being restrained.
In his eyes, this was just the insects' last struggle.
Most of the Jonin were inside killing strong enemies. Only a small number of two Jonin led these Chunin in resistance here, and they were no match for Shukaku.
Shukaku, although it only had one tail, was ranked third in overall strength among the tailed beasts.
Soon, everyone began to run out of energy, their shadows trembled constantly, and they were about to break free at any moment. The Akimichi Clan's size also shrank a lot.
But, until now, Shukaku had not been hurt.
"Damn it, the One Tail's power is too strong, we can't hold it anymore."
"Hold on."
"Damn it, how is this guy's defense so high!"
"Hahaha, insects, now you know how strong I am, right?"
Then, Shukaku jumped up with all his might, and immediately broke free. With a wave of its hand, dozens of sand pillars immediately sent the Akimichi Clan members flying.
Seeing the Konoha ninja suffer, Shukaku was even more excited and laughed loudly.
But at this time, in his pupils, a fist grew bigger and bigger.
With a bang, Shukaku was staggered by this punch and retreated, almost falling to the ground.
"Who?! Who dares to sneak attack me!"
Shukaku was furious, and looked intently, only to see a white-clothed kid standing on the city wall.
He had just been hit by him. Being forced to retreat by such a small kid made Shukaku feel very embarrassed, and he immediately slapped Neji.
Neji dodged instantly, and used a Palm Heel again to hit Shukaku.
Bang!
A piece of Shukaku's sand body collapsed. Although it was small, it made Shukaku feel extremely humiliated.
"You actually dare to provoke me, die!"
With a slight movement of his finger, dozens of sand pillars attacked Neji, moving extremely fast.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Neji immediately used Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin to bounce these sand pillars away, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaping towards the top of Shukaku's head.
Neji could see that he couldn't beat Shukaku, but he wasn't panicking.
As long as he woke up Gaara, Shukaku would disappear.
However, although Neji's speed was fast, Shukaku was not ordinary.
Almost in an instant, Shukaku knew Neji's intention, and immediately used sand to seal Gaara.
"Wahahaha, I won't be stupid and do nothing."
"Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet."
Shukaku roared, and air bullets rained down from the sky, hitting Neji hard.
He had finally come out, and this person wanted him to go back. For Shukaku, this was a great sin, unforgivable.
Neji was not to be outdone, dodging while making hand signs: "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet."
In an instant, a violent explosion occurred in mid-air, and the Drilling Air Bullet directly penetrated the Earth Dragon Bullet. The powerful aftershock blew away everyone around.
Seeing the Drilling Air Bullet penetrate, Neji used a Palm Heel again, which dissolved Shukaku's attack.
Under the aftershock, even Neji was constantly retreating and couldn't stand, let alone others, who had long been blown away.
"Whew, that was close, I can only use Taijutsu."
After making up his mind, Neji didn't stop at all. He pushed off with his hind feet, and his figure shot out in an instant, reaching Shukaku in the blink of an eye.
"Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"
Chakra wrapped around his hands, turning into two huge lion heads, and hit Shukaku with a smack.
However, Shukaku only lost a little sand.
Shukaku's defense was terrifyingly high.
Just as Neji was thinking about whether to give Shukaku a All-Killing Ash Bones to send him on his way, Shukaku suddenly spoke.
"Kid, interesting, you can actually take my Drilling Air Bullet."
Shukaku looked at Neji with interest, as if he had discovered a new world.
"How about it, want to be my buddy?"
