Chapter 165: One-Tailed Shukaku
The highly corrosive poisonous water caused Gaara's body to rot quickly.
When the jinchūriki dies, the tailed beasts will not actually die. They will re-condense somewhere in the world after a period of time. However, their personalities and memories will be reset at that time, which is equivalent to restoring to factory settings, probably restoring to the state when the Six Paths Sage separated them. This can also be regarded as death in a sense. As intelligent life forms, they certainly do not want to be reset. Shukaku, the One-Tailed, had to use his own chakra to repair Gaara's body.
Even if it is a tailed beast with the least chakra, it is still a tailed beast.
His recovery ability and chakra mobilization speed are unmatched by ninjas.
He repaired quickly and struggled violently to break free from Shikaku's shadow binding technique.
Fortunately, Ino's poisonous pufferfish has integrated the characteristics of water escape, and it has merged with Gaara's blood, and has some kind of bone-piercing properties. The toxin penetrates quickly and deeply, and it is difficult to eradicate it in a short time.
Gaara's screams continued to ring out. At first, the sound was still inside Shukaku's body and seemed a little muffled. As the poisonous pufferfish punched hundreds of small holes in the body of the tailed beast, his voice sounded very real.
It hurts! He has never felt such pain before! This is completely different from what happened before. Before, he was afraid to sleep, crazy, and mentally tortured. Now this is pain and physical destruction.
He had never expected that his body would hurt to this extent.
Temari and Kankuro, who were chasing quietly, were very anxious. As soon as they hesitated, their tracks were exposed and they were captured alive by the three ninjas from the Ino, Shika and Chou families who rushed over.
Seeing that she hadn't taken down a single poisonous pufferfish and the opponent's recovery speed was much faster than expected, Ino had no choice but to use her biggest trump card.
Using this move would put the body into a very weak state. Most of the time, she did not seek to achieve any success but only to avoid mistakes, for she was worried that she would lose her life due to falling into a weak state.
There are too many examples of ninjas having high attack power but weak defense and failing miserably.
Now that she was surrounded by the elite members of the family, she felt much more at ease.
At this time, her family is her greatest support, and the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Alliance is her solid shield.
"Get out of the way!" she shouted, and the fat men from the Qiu Dao family retreated one after another, and she formed seals quickly.
A water clone was created by her, and then just like Naruto's shadow clone could help him roll the meatballs, she also simplified the steps of steaming the dangerous explosives, one shadow clone added water, and the other added oil! With the help of the main body, Fat Ino appeared in less than two seconds.
"Show that little raccoon our art! Blow him to death!" As she pointed her finger, Fat Ino began to accelerate and crashed into Shukaku, who was standing still and continuously expelling toxins from his body.
The water-converted chakra in Fat Ino's body was heated rapidly, and hot steam came out of her body. When the heat in her body accumulated to the limit, she slammed into the One-Tailed Shukaku.
Even One-Tail was startled when the fat Ino suddenly rushed over. He knew intuitively that this thing was not here to make people laugh.
It was the last moment to eliminate the toxin and break free from the shadow binding technique. The One-Tail had to extract a part of Gaara's chakra for defense. There is gain and loss. If he gained the host's chakra, he would have to give back a part of the control of the body.
The One-Tail mixed Gaara's chakra with its own chakra and pressed the surrounding sand tightly together, forming a sand statue wearing a conical hat that was quite similar to the One-Tail.
This is the strongest defensive ninjutsu known as the Shukaku Shield.
At this time, Shukaku made the same mistake as Orochimaru before, that is, he thought that Fat Ino would not turn! With Ino's shout of "Ka!" Like Mars hitting the Earth, Fat Ino bypassed Shukaku's shield and then happily collided with the tailed beast.
The shock wave swept in all directions, and trees, bricks, houses on the streets, and many other debris were blown into pieces. The steam turned into a huge air column, and the sand melted by the hot oil splashed in all directions. A big fire broke out at the scene, accompanied by billowing thick smoke.
Haiyi used a wind-style ninjutsu to blow away the thick smoke, and everyone looked towards the explosion site.
Then a large circular pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of more than one meter appeared on the ground.
Shukaku, the one-tailed monster with a big round belly, was in a miserable state. He was injured, and hot oil covered half of his body, which was burning.
The blood of the tailed beasts flowed out like free.
After being injured by a ninja, he was almost going crazy. He opened his big mouth slowly, as if in slow motion, and with the Nara family's shadow binding technique, he gathered chakra little by little, preparing to forcibly use the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Come on! Hurry up!" Shikaku was holding on with great difficulty. The ninjas of the Nara family all closed their eyes, veins bulging on their foreheads, struggling to resist the shadow binding technique of their master.
"Protect me." Ino shouted to the Yamanaka ninja and formed a seal again.
Her chakra increased, and the speed of re-condensing the water clone also became much faster. The temperature dropped rapidly, and the fat water clone soon condensed again.
Shukaku, the One-Tail, had murderous intent in his eyes as he watched Fat Ino rush towards him again.
Ino yelled "Kacha!"
There was a loud "boom".
The One-Tailed Shukaku emerged from the smoke, covered in wounds. Ino yelled "Kacha!" again.
Fat Ino collided with him again. He was blown up three times in a row. Shukaku, the One-Tail, didn't have the shameless substitution technique like Orochimaru, and he was hit hard by three Steamed Dangerous Explosions. Ino was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
The One-Tail consumed too much chakra and his consciousness slowly faded away. Gaara then retreated from the complete tailed beast state to the possessed state.
The ten-meter-tall body shrunk to the size of an ordinary human, with only the face and right hand still looking like the tailed beast.
Shikaku had the support of his tribe members and was able to gain firm control over his body.
"The shadow binding technique was successful. Now it's up to you."
Ino immediately used the technique of heart turning to enter Gaara's inner world.
Gaara is much simpler than Naruto, and his inner world doesn't have a lot of "idle people" playing mahjong. In his memory, Ino only saw his uncle, Yashamaru, who was the best person to Gaara. Unfortunately, the Fourth Kazekage, who liked to dig sand and pick up garbage, ruined this bond for the so-called test.
Gaara killed his beloved uncle Yashamaru with his own hands, and then fell into endless self-blame and pain. After his emotions reached a limit, they began to rebound. He hated the world and everyone.
Ino had forgotten how Naruto persuaded Gaara with words in the original time and space. The two grew up in different environments and had different experiences. She didn't really understand the other's emotions and couldn't empathize with him at all. She could only use her own words.
