The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 148 Want freedom? Beg me!

"No----"

Shukaku roared loudly and began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball. Even if it was eventually sealed, it would still give the Sand Village a hard time.

But the people of Sunagakure were already on guard. As soon as it opened its mouth, a powerful puppet rushed over and delivered a heavy blow to its chin, intending to shut it up.

But suddenly the space fluctuated, and a figure suddenly appeared above Shukaku's head, kicking the puppet away with one foot.

"Hey, you bunch of guys, what are you planning to do to my cute little kitten?"

"You want to seal Shukaku, did you even ask for my permission?"

"Oh no, it's Uchiha An! How did he get involved with the tailed beasts?"

But the next moment, all the Sand Ninja became excited.

"He canceled Susanoo, now's the time to kill him!"

With a shout, everyone unleashed their best ninjutsu, attacking An and Shukaku.

Many forbidden ninjas, under the cover of their comrades, began to step on the bodies of the tailed beasts and quietly approach An, intending to risk their lives to perish together with him.

An stood atop Shukaku's head, pushing his Kamui Eyes to their limit. His entire body entered a state of intangibility, allowing all ninjutsu attacks to pass freely through his body. He only intervened when any ninjutsu interfered with Shukaku's gathering of the "Tailed Beast Ball".

"Haha—so intangibility is this awesome! No wonder Obito always uses it; it feels even better than Susanoo!"

An laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and the Wood Release Forest bloomed again at Shukaku's feet.

However, this time the Wood Release didn't attack the Tailed Beasts. Instead, it formed a defensive net that blasted away all the approaching puppets, keeping the Sand Ninja outside.

Those sealing squad ninjas who were trying to seal Shukaku nearby were all targeted by Wood Release, and none of them escaped.

"ah----"

Amidst screams of agony, branches of Wood Release pierced the backs of the ninjas, protruding through their chests, like strings of candied hawthorns, tying them all together in a row and hanging them on a vine outside the forest's defensive netting, as if for public humiliation.

"Damn it! That bastard is provoking us!"

The Sand Ninja were immediately enraged and manipulated their puppets to charge forward even more frantically.

However, the power of Wood Release was simply too exaggerated. The thick, tentacle-like branches swung wildly, sending all the nearby puppets flying.

This demonstrates the safety of the puppet technique; the original masters all stood far away, ensuring that no one could be absorbed by the wood-based tree branches.

The "Tailed Beast Ball" was finally successfully formed. Shukaku's eyes showed excitement as he sprayed the "Tailed Beast Ball" towards the Kazekage's office.

As soon as the words "Tailed Beast Ball" were uttered, Shukaku burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"Haha—I finally succeeded!"

"You bastards from Sunagakure, now you can feel the wrath of the One-Tailed King!"

The One-Tailed Beast Ball is not as powerful as the Nine-Tailed Beast Ball, but it is still a "Tailed Beast Ball", and its power is at least at the level of a forbidden technique.

The purplish-black sphere fell to the ground and immediately expanded rapidly, instantly turning from a small ball into a black hole the size of a house. Then it exploded outward, releasing the enormous energy inside.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a mushroom cloud rose out of nowhere, soaring straight into the clouds.

"No----"

All the ninjas from Sunagakure screamed in unison, their hearts nearly stopping.

That's the most central location of Sunagakure. Besides the Kazekage's office, there are many other institutions and facilities there, and countless precious documents and supplies are stored in nearby warehouses and shops.

Once this "Tailed Beast Ball" is used, everything will be destroyed.

"Ha ha----"

After Shukaku released the "Tailed Beast Ball", he saw the sealing technique on his body fade away and immediately ran away.

It doesn't want to stay in this wretched place any longer!

Its destiny should be the boundless desert, not the body of a human being.

As it ran, it swung its tail and lashed it hard at the thing on its head.

"Die, humans!"

"No one can stand on the head of the great Shukaku!"

"Hehe, what a naughty little kitten!"

An smiled slightly, and the Kaleidoscope Spinner spun around, creating a spatial fluctuation in front of her.

With a "crack," Shukaku's massive tail was severed at the root and crashed heavily to the ground.

The next moment, another spatial fluctuation occurred, and the broken tail was sucked into the vortex and disappeared.

"Ah!" Shukaku cried out in surprise, beginning to feel a chill run down his spine.

Tailed beasts are chakra beings, so losing a tail won't harm them much. Their tails will regenerate in a moment. However, this level of attack is enough to easily kill them, so they can't help but be afraid.

Although it's not true death, the act of waiting to be resurrected is still not something that makes the Tailed Beasts happy.

However, Shukaku refused to lose face and roared loudly as he ran.

"Damn it, get off Lord Shukaku's head right now, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Oh, so how do you want to make me look bad?" An teased with a smile.

Before Shukaku could reply, the Sand Village's attack followed. Under the control of chakra threads, puppets flew everywhere, and various kunai with steel wires and steel needles rained down on An and Shukaku.

With just a simple Hollowfication, An easily avoided the damage, letting the attacks fall on Shukaku.

Individual attacks are ineffective, but when there are many of them, Shukaku's body is covered by a dense wire mesh, with the wires driven deep into the ground, making it difficult for Shukaku's massive body to move.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Whip!"

"Fire Release: Fire Overwhelms Metal!"

As the Sand Ninja attacked, a bolt of lightning and a line of fire shot up along the wire mesh from both sides. Wherever they passed, Shukaku's sandy body was instantly crystallized, charred, and hardened.

Shukaku took a deep breath, then pressed hard on its abdomen, spewing out a huge whirlwind that retaliated against the Sand Ninja.

"Wind Release: Sky-Refining Bullet!"

While this wind ball isn't as powerful as the "Tailed Beast Ball," it excels in its extreme speed, can be activated in the blink of an eye, and is incredibly powerful.

However, the Sand Village was too experienced in dealing with Shukaku. A dozen puppets jumped forward, their abdominal mechanisms opened, and they easily sucked the wind ball clean.

Shukaku's counterattack was ineffective, while the Sand Ninja's attacks continued to land on it, slowing it down more and more until it was almost pinned to the spot and unable to move.

All that's left is to go through a procedure with the sealing class.

An watched with a smile the whole time, without interfering, until Shukaku was cornered, at which point he asked with a smile, "Shukaku, do you want your freedom?"

"Beg me!"

"Let me take you away from this Sand Village and show you around the ninja world!"

"At that time, you can kill people if you want, and release the Tailed Beast Ball if you want."

"With my help, no one can stop or seal you away."
