Chapter 408: The Sand Village

After sealing the One-Tailed Shukaku, Qingsi slowly landed on the ground and looked up at the Outer Path Statue carefully.

At this time, three of the nine eyes of the Outer Path Demon Statue were open. The eye representing the One-Tailed Shukaku was fully open, while the other two eyes were half open, representing the Three-Tailed Isobu and the Six-Tailed Rhino.

As for the three-tailed beasts and the six-tailed beasts owned by the Hidden Mist Village, Kiyoshi had no intention of sealing them up completely. After all, they had shed blood and made contributions for the Hidden Mist Village, and Kiyoshi was not the kind of person who would abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose. What's more, the six-tailed jinchuriki, Mei Terumi, was selected by him personally, and was also the younger generation he was more optimistic about, while the three-tailed jinchuriki, Yagura Karuta, was his beloved relative, brother!

Therefore, under Kiyoshi's personal operation, nearly half of the chakra of the Three-tailed Isobu and the Six-tailed Rhino was cut off, and they were sealed by the Outer Path Demon Statue instead, in order to meet the necessary conditions for the resurrection of the Ten-tailed. After all, in order to revive Kaguya's Ten-tailed, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts must be gathered.

As for Kaguya, she actually doesn't lack the chakra of these two tailed beasts. For the entire Ten-Tails, the Three-Tailed Isobu and the Six-Tailed Rhino are just a small part of it. The real bulk of the tailed beasts' chakra actually comes from the Eight-Tail and the Nine-Tail, especially the Nine-Tail. Conservative estimates show that the Nine-Tail's chakra accounts for at least half of the Ten-Tails!

Therefore, this is the reason why the two eyes of the Outer Statue representing the Three-tailed Isobu and the Six-tailed Rhino Dog were not fully opened but only half opened.

As for the Three-tailed Isobuki and Six-tailed Rhino whose chakra had been cut off by nearly half, although they will fall into a short period of weakness, at least their lives are safe. Moreover, they are fighting side by side with their respective Jinchūriki. At most, their sustained combat capability will be reduced because their chakra is reduced by half, but in terms of overall strength, they will not be much weaker than before.

Moreover, over time, they can also replenish their lost chakra by absorbing the natural energy of the ninja world.

Of course, they have no time to care about the other tailed beasts. Although the relationship between them is still okay, after all, it is better to let my friend die than to let me die...!

.........

"Let's go! Nagato! Let's go back!" After a moment, Qingsi interrupted his thoughts and came back to his senses and said to Nagato. At the same time, he also collected the bodies of the dead Sand Village Anbu and Fubukuro, and "destroyed the bodies and covered the traces".

After hearing Qingsi's call, Nagato immediately cancelled the summons of the Outer Path Demon Statue, sent it back, and then came to Qingsi's side.

Afterwards, Seiji put his arm around Nagato's shoulder and used the eye technique "Takamagahara", and the two returned to the Hidden Mist Village together.

-----------------

the next day.

Platycodon Mountain battlefield.

The frontier base of the Sand Village.

Rasa, who had just become the Fourth Kazekage a few days ago and was about to cause massive damage to Konoha by releasing the One-Tail Shukaku on the battlefield, waited and waited but the One-Tail Jinchuriki Bonfuku never arrived.

According to the normal speed, the One-Tail Jinchuriki should have been "escorted" to the front line by the Anbu. Even if he was delayed by something on the way, he shouldn't be so late...!

What made Luo Sha even more uneasy was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not contact the two teams of elite Anbu who were "escorting" the One-Tail Jinchuriki...!

Therefore, Luo Sha couldn't help but have a very bad premonition in his heart!

So, Luo Sha immediately used the art of summoning to send a message back to the Sand Village to inquire about the matter.

And when the news about Rasa reached the hands of the Sunagakure high-ranking officials, they who were sitting in the village waiting for Shukaku to kill a lot on the battlefield, were shocked to realize that the development of the situation was beyond their control.

However, the place where Kiyoshi and the one-tailed Shukaku fought was near the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, which was too far away from the Sand Village.

Moreover, the battle between Kiyoji and the One-Tailed Shukaku ended very quickly. In addition, Kiyoji did not use any special and extraordinary techniques during the battle, and there was no ninja in the Sand Village with such strong perception ability. Therefore, the fact that the One-Tailed Shukaku was captured and sealed by Kiyoji was not noticed by the Sand Village at all...!

.........

After sending out a large number of Anbu to search along the way, Rasa and the Sunagakure high-ranking officials only found traces of the One-Tailed Shukaku appearing and fighting, as well as the chaotic and indistinguishable chakra aura left at the battle scene. Therefore, they just thought that the One-Tailed Shukaku suddenly went berserk halfway, and did not think at all that the tailed beast in their village had been captured.

After all, even if the Third Kazekage Tetsusa, who is known as the "strongest Kazekage", can suppress Shukaku alone in the desert, defeat him, and seal him, the entire battle process will take at least ten minutes or even dozens of minutes, and it will not be without any movement!

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was a disciple of Iron Sand, was even slightly inferior. Although he was able to rely on the desert's geographical advantages and the special features of "Magnetic Release: Gold Sand" to suppress and defeat the One-Tail Shukaku, it would take him much longer than Iron Sand!

This means that the chakra fluctuations generated by their battle are easier to perceive!

You know, the chakra reaction produced by a battle of this level between a Kage-level strongman and a tailed beast can still be sensed from a long distance, even if the perception team of the Sand Village is poor!

Just like the battle between Seiji and Uchiha Madara in River Country, that kind of terrifying and strong chakra reaction could be sensed smoothly by the Sand Village even though it was separated by half of the Ninja World!

Therefore, under the premise that the perception team did not find any clues, the Sand Village did not have any other suspicions at all. They just thought that the One-Tailed Shukaku successfully eroded Fufuku's will, escaped the seal, and hid in the vast desert. After all, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Fufuku looked like he was about to die at any time. Therefore, in the shallow understanding of Rasa and the Sand Village's high-ups, it made sense that Shukaku went berserk and broke free from the seal...!

Therefore, Rasa and the Sunagakure high-level officials could only "accept their bad luck" and focus their main energy on the war with Konoha Village.

As for the "war weapon" of the Sand Village, the One-Tailed Shukaku, they can only wait until the war is over, and then spend a lot of manpower to search for its trace in the desert. Then Rasa will take action to capture it again and choose a new Jinchūriki...!
