The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 948 Preparations for Battle

Sensaji Temple.

"You're a monk?! How are you still alive?!"

Obsidian Altar.

Watching the swirling sand form Shukaku's head in mid-air, even though it was just a head, it was clear that Shukaku was about to revive.

Seeing Shukaku so easily revived left Yekura speechless.

Moreover, Shukaku clearly revealed his fear of the monks through his words.

You should know that Shukaku is a tailed beast that fears nothing and no one, even the Nine-Tails has to say a few words to it.

Gaara and Rasa, the two Jinchūriki, did not have a good relationship.

I never expected him to be so afraid of monks.

Shamon quickly informed Yekura of the reason.

With a flick of his wrist, the object that had just transformed into a wrist guard flew out and pierced into Shukaku's body, which was in the process of recovering.

With a cracking sound, Yekura saw from the outside that the metal object that had been embedded had expanded.

Shukaku's voice was filled with anger and fear: "As expected, it's your Magnet Release prototype again!"

Although Shukaku has now recovered, it is not very big, only about five meters tall.

Shukaku stiffly stretched out its hand and turned it from side to side.

It's obvious that he was controlled by Shamon's Magnet Release prototype.

"I resurrected you ahead of schedule; you should thank me."

Shukaku is now completely unable to control his body, but Shamon has returned control of his head to him.

He opened his mouth and hissed, his voice filled with rage:

"Thank you so much! You revived me in such a short time this time. Next time I die, my resurrection time will be much longer."

"You resurrected me only to use me!"

Shamon's eyes turned cold: "You've been protected by the temple for so long, shouldn't you help Sunagakure now that it's in trouble?"

"Protect!?"

Shukaku seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, his anger surging and his chakra constantly vibrating.

"Is imprisoning me considered protection?! All you monks of Sensuna-ji Temple deserve to die!!! Aaaaaah!!!"

Shamon's eyes turned cold, and he formed hand seals. The original Magnet Release within Shukaku's body expanded again and pierced into Shukaku's head.

Shukaku let out a frantic shriek: "Damn it! That move again! Damn it! Damn it, how long can you control me? Ugh..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker until he finally shut his mouth completely, and his money-like eyes became lifeless.

Then you see the five-meter-tall Shukaku begin to shrink.

In the end, he became a short, chubby figure, just over a meter tall, standing behind the monk.

Yekura has experienced so much since arriving here that she's become somewhat numb from all the shock.

"Let's go, Brother Liedou should have already fought with the people from Konoha."

After obtaining Shukaku, the monk did not linger. He merely glanced back at the courtyard where the monk Jigen had been staying before leaving Sensaji Temple with Yekura.

……

The underground area near Sunagakure Village.

Disonas, who was performing the spell, shuddered and then opened his eyes:

"Lord Black Zetsu, Shamon has been found. Shukaku, who is over a meter tall, is following behind him."

Once the monk left the area of ​​Sensaji Temple, he was naturally outside the barrier's range.

Since he was a reincarnated body, he was naturally found by Disonas.

"Huh? Shukaku!?"

Black Zetsu was also confused; wasn't Shukaku inside Rasa's body?

At this point, Rasa should still be in Obito's hands.

“Do you want to control Shamen?” Disonas asked.

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Let's not control him for now and see what he's up to."

……

Once the monk left the Sensaji Temple area, he naturally sensed the spying of the Impure World Reincarnation practitioner.

But it doesn't matter, we'll see the battles later anyway.

As long as the other party cannot see what is happening inside Sensaji Temple, it's fine.

The two quickly returned to Sunagakure.

And he met Retsuto in the Sand Village office.

"Brother Lie Dou, how's the situation?" Sha Men asked bluntly.

Retsudou is a reincarnated body using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and his previous injuries have been fully healed.

"Uchiha Chiyo's fighting power is stronger than I imagined. If it weren't for the miraculous Edo Tensei, I would have had to return to the Pure Land."

“The formations that previously required Shukaku’s cooperation can now be used easily with the help of the Edo Tensei chakra.”

"Although this sandstorm has slowed down Konoha's offensive, it won't last too long."

"It seems your trip went very smoothly. With Shukaku, we can deal with Uchiha Chiyo and the Fourth Hokage."

Retsuto looked quite pleased when he saw Shukaku following behind Shamon.

"You used Shukaku and the Magnet Release core to deal with the Fourth Hokage."

"I'll use the Ancient Sand Spirit to deal with Uchiha Chiyo."

The monk, not wanting to waste a single moment, immediately said:

"To counter the Flying Thunder God Technique, we must set up a Magnet Release restricted area before Konoha comes again."

Retsuto thought of the area around Sunagakure that he had observed before:

"This is the only way. We need to create a Magnet Release restricted area within a 20-kilometer radius around Sunagakure."

How should the village coordinate in this battle?

Ye Cang asked from the side.

She knew that the great battle between Sunagakure and Konoha was related to the fate of Sunagakure, so she wanted to help.

Retsudou and Shamon exchanged a glance before turning their attention to her:

"The rest of you can't help in this battle. At most, you can give Shukaku some chakra. The rest of you just need to stay hidden."

Ye Cang froze, his expression turning extremely unpleasant.

"This is the most important battle for our Sand Village; how can we not help?"

Liedou glanced at Yecang, his tone leaving no room for argument: "This is an order."

Ye Cang choked on his breath and almost suffocated.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"And what about me, Lord Retsuto?"

Retsuto sized up Yekura, then held out his hand: "Here, try inputting your Scorching Release chakra."

Ye Cang was stunned:

"No, Lord Retsuto, my Scorching Release will contaminate your chakra and cause your bodily fluids to evaporate."

Retsuto waved his hand, interrupting Yekura: "We're both dead!"

Yecang then realized that both Retsuto and Shamon were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"Let's give it a try."

Liedou pointed to his hand.

Having no other choice, Yekura channeled her Scorching Release chakra into Retsuto's hand, emitting an orange-red light from her own.

She quickly sensed that Liedou had used his chakra to seal her own chakra in his hand.

Suddenly, Liedou swung his hand and sent her flying.

Before Ye Cang could react, suddenly, Lie Dou's palm exploded with a loud bang!

Crackling sounds!

All the glass in Fengying's office was shattered.

Although Yecang's group was thrown out, they were not seriously injured.

On the contrary, Lie Dou, who was right next to him, was completely blasted to pieces, his body riddled with holes.

Fortunately, he was in the form of an impure spirit, and he has already begun to repair his body.

This was the first time Yekura had ever seen a body resurrected through Edo Tensei automatically recover.

At this moment, he stared intently, unblinking: "Lord Retsuto, are you alright?"

Lie Dou hummed in response and said:

"As expected, the Scorching Release clashes with other chakra types."

"Ye Cang, you have something to do."

……
