Chapter 360 Death and Life (1)
"With this chakra, Shukaku is indeed unwilling to be lonely..."
After leaving the village, Hagoromo quickly sensed the chakra of the Ichibi Shukaku. After all, chakra of the size of the tailed beast could not be ignored by any sentient ninja or non-sentient ninja.
As for the Jinchuuriki going berserk, this was actually within Hagoromo's expectation. Regardless of whether it is active or passive, Shukaku will always appear when the Jinchuuriki encounters a crisis, and Gaara and his sister are obviously not the sixth team with facial paralysis, a woman's heart, a woman's appearance, and a trouble-making second generation. opponent.
Although according to Hagoromo's statement, his mission to Team 6 is to "contain" the Jinchūriki, in fact it is very likely that they will beat up the Sunagakure team, so it is absolutely reasonable for Gaara to transform into a tailed beast.
At this time, the Sunagakure team had left Konoha while fighting and retreated, and reached a more peripheral distance - the problem with Team 6 is that although they are strong enough, they do not have the authority to deprive lives of them, so they can transform into tailed beasts before the Jinchūriki can. Kill him before? That is absolutely not allowed.
Because for Hagoromo, that is not "killing". On the contrary, it means "releasing" Shukaku, and releasing him for several years.
The opportunity was rare, and even if their attacks were slightly relaxed, they would not be able to cause trouble for Hagoromo.
It only makes sense for Hagoromo to do it himself in order to deal with the tailed beast.
In the Rashomon Barrier and the Four Purple Flame Formation, the Sandaime Hokage and Danzo should still be fighting Orochimaru, while the Sunagakure and Otogakure ninjas in Konoha Village were basically wiped out by the coefficient at this time.
The few people who survived also fled the village, including Chiyo... Even if she was a very powerful puppet master and was accustomed to using poison, she could not remain indifferent to Konoha's concentrated fire. .
In this sense, it seems that Chiyo has abandoned her dear Fourth Generation Kazekage... Well, this is indeed an abandonment, but with Chiyo's age and status, after all, she has experienced all kinds of things, even if she was in a hurry at the beginning She then participated in the chaos, but by this time she must have noticed something was wrong.
Regardless of the motive, process or even intention of this matter, there should be no reason for Konoha and Sunagakure to attack each other. The Hokage's actions were too outrageous. In Konoha, the Sandaime did not set up a barrier with the Fourth Kazekage at all. The reason for the duel is that this only prevents Konoha from exerting its own power. Wouldn't it be better to fight the Kazekage in a group?
The more he thought about it, the more Chiyo felt that Sunagakure had been taken advantage of.
In fact, this kind of wisdom derived from experience and experience is undoubtedly quite correct, so based on his own judgment, Chiyo decisively abandoned the boss "Fourth Generation Kazekage" and ran away directly under the wrong situation...
And it seems that after dealing with the psychic pets that Orochimaru set to wreak havoc in the village, Jiraiya is chasing Chiyo.
As for Tsunade, she was responsible for staying in the village to coordinate the overall situation and treat the wounded. At this time, Konoha has undoubtedly begun to operate around her.
There is a clear difference between whether there is a person like Tsunade. If Tsunade does not return to Konoha at this time, with the Hokage isolated, although Konoha has strong combat power and an absolute numerical advantage, it will not be able to fight without unified command. Under the circumstances, they can only fight on their own.
And the existence of the next generation of Hokage can unite all the power of Konoha even without the Sandaime.
So the confusion was only momentary and soon subsided.
Hagoromo only met Tsunade for a very short time. After the latter said that he already had "cute big breasts", he quickly continued to act.
His main purpose had not yet been achieved.
Originally, after Gaara and others left the village, although it could be predicted that they would not be too far away, if they wanted to find them, Hagoromo might have to enter sage mode to explore, but there is no need for it now - the tailed beast's The chakra was as eye-catching as a 250-watt light bulb hanging under his eyes in the night.
After finding a clear location, with Hagoromo's speed at full speed, he arrived at the scene almost instantly.
With the strength of the three people in the future, they can fight against single targets of the same age, but when dealing with tailed beasts, they obviously lack effective offensive methods, especially the kind of technique that can have the final say.
So at this time they already seemed a little powerless.
Psychic skills? Although the large psychic beast and the tailed beast are almost the same size, their chakra levels and overall combat power are not at the same level at all.
As for the sealing technique, it can be used in the future, but a technique like the Four Symbols Seal is too easy to involve yourself and your own people. If you don't have Hagoromo's suicidal spirit, it's best not to throw scrolls around. .
"I always feel something is different... Shukaku's chakra level is not as strong as imagined."
Hagoromo appeared behind the future trio. He looked at the huge body not far away and said with a frown.
I have to say, this civet cat is indeed a bit ugly.
Hagororo thought that he had seen too many tailed beasts, but after comparing them, he found that Shukaku's chakra level was just like that? But he even felt that Shukaku in front of him was weaker than when he first saw him?
Losing color with old age?
Well, after all, that happened many years ago. Although Hagoromo beat Shukaku's head off at that time, chakra strength was a somewhat vague concept after all. He couldn't remember exactly what level Ichibi was at that time. .
"Hagoromo?"
The parents finally came. Mirai was relieved, but she was also very stressed.
"The Jinchuriki seems to have used a false sleep technique to awaken the tailed beast, but the first tail has just woken up and the chakra strength has not yet increased."
She obviously heard Hagoromo's doubts and then gave her own explanation.
"In other words, Shukaku's chakra is increasing?"
"……yes."
Hagoromo would understand this.
In many cases, the complete tailed beast transformation is the same as the tailed beast escaping from the seal, but there are also opposite situations. It seems that the tailed beast has escaped, but the opponent has not yet completely transformed into the tailed beast.
"Where is the jinchuriki hiding?"
Unfortunately, what Hagoromo wants is neither a half-tailed beast nor a complete tailed beast, but to completely liberate Shukaku.
It is his intention to give absolute freedom first, and then give absolute unfreedom.
"Probably hidden in the head of the first one, after the False Sleep Jutsu, the jinchuriki should be there."
Hagororo wanted to ask in detail, but time did not allow it at this time, because Shukaku had obviously noticed his arrival.
How many times has it been beaten since its birth? To be honest, Shukaku has been alive for so long that he can no longer remember it clearly, but if you ask who it was beaten by last time, then it must remember it clearly.
After all, there was no one else except Hagoromo who shot such a cute cat into briquettes.
Then, after so many years, Shukaku finally had a line. He said in a sharp voice that was completely inconsistent with his size, with anger, relief, neurosis and arrogance, "Finally after all these years See you again, kid!”
Compared to him, regardless of his age or personality, Hagoromo is indeed a brat, but there is a sense of I.MISS.YOU in his words.
The only problem is that Shukaku's IQ is worrisome.
When you see him, run away quickly. Why are you so happy?
What's even more unfortunate is that maybe Shukaku only has one line from beginning to end.
