Chapter 34
The two of them were in a state of panic.
In the distance, Shikamaru leaned against the tree with his hand half-supported, Sasuke stood beside him with a confused look on his face, and the Sand Ninjas behind him stood opposite each other, but the two sides did not fight.
Of course, it was not because Shikamaru kidnapped the daughter of the village chief of their village. The main reason was the huge Shukaku figure not far away.
As a member of the Sand Ninja Village, Shukaku went berserk every two years, and they could not deal with it without the Kazekage. The target of this mission was Konoha, and they did not need to continue to care about Shukaku after he was released, because Shukaku would move on his own anyway.
Several Sand Ninjas looked at each other, and though they looked at Temari who was half held in Shikamaru's arms, they thought that as the daughter of the village chief, necessary sacrifices were acceptable, so they exchanged glances and turned away at the same time in a tacit understanding.
They didn't want to face Shukaku.
Seeing the Sand Ninjas leave, Shikamaru was also relieved. He really didn't have much chakra now. If they continued to fight, he and Sasuke would probably be left here.
Temari leaned in Shikamaru's arms, her face was indescribably ugly: "Let's go, that thing is out, if we don't leave, we will all die here."
"Well, as long as we don't cause trouble for Naruto, we can just retreat a little further, and we can provide support if needed." This is what Shikamaru thought.
"Are you crazy!" Temari yelled, "That thing is not something you can deal with! It has been fully resurrected. Can the Uzumaki Naruto in your village call out the monster in his body? It's not a battle of the same level at all!"
Using the tailed beast chakra to achieve half-tailed beast transformation and full tailed beast transformation are two completely different concepts. Temari knew this when Gaara went berserk a few years ago.
A few jonin can deal with Gaara who has become half-tailed beast, but once he is fully tailed, it will take the wind shadow to deal with him. Although the kid named Uzumaki Naruto can use the tailed beast chakra, he can't even achieve half-tailed beast transformation, let alone full tailed beast transformation.
Anyway, Temari thought so. Gaara's rampage a few years ago left a deep impression on her. She didn't think anyone else could compete with him except the shadow.
Shikamaru actually had a similar idea. He also wanted Naruto to retreat now, but he didn't say it. He still looked calm: "I believe in Naruto, and I don't think he will leave if I ask him to."
Sasuke turned his head and looked at Shikamaru: "That guy's personality is indeed like this."
Naruto and Sasuke are actually very similar. There is only one option to win in a battle, not to escape or lose. Even if he knows that the opponent is a Jinchūriki, Sasuke dares to fight the opponent, and the same is true for Naruto.
Sasuke clenched his fists. He said so, but he was unwilling to accept it.
Naruto is now able to fight Gaara, and defeated him when the opponent was half-tailed beast, forcing the opponent to completely tailed beast, while he couldn't defeat him directly even if the opponent didn't use the power of the tailed beast.
Is the gap between me and Naruto so big? Sasuke thought unwillingly.
"Are you... crazy?" Temari looked at Shikamaru blankly. She had no idea where the confidence of these two people came from. Didn't they know what they were facing? In this situation, how did they say this?
Temari didn't understand. She half leaned on Shikamaru's chest, with a dazed look and a hint of... calmness on her face.
Perhaps influenced by Shikamaru and Sasuke's mood, she actually looked forward to Naruto defeating Gaara, hoping that the paranoid and weird brother would return to his original appearance.
"Bang!"
A huge smoke rose in the distance, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Sasuke subconsciously said: "Shadow clone? With such a huge chakra, there must be at least thousands of clones, but facing such a monster, no matter how many clones there are, it is useless..."
"It's not a shadow clone!" Temari opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief, "This is..."
"Summoning technique!" Shikamaru said his guess in a deep voice, and a hint of surprise unconsciously appeared in his eyes, "Such a huge summoning technique, the summoned beast that Naruto wants to summon will definitely not be a simple summoned beast!"
Sasuke has never been exposed to the summoning technique. The only time he was exposed was when Kakashi used it in the Land of Waves, but he fainted at that time and didn't see it. Only Naruto and Sakura saw the appearance of the summoning technique.
As the three people were full of expectations, the smoke gradually dissipated. On the ground, a huge toad stood in front of him, holding a pipe in his mouth, and exuding an extremely terrifying chakra breath all over his body.
"Toad?" Sasuke was stunned.
"So big!
"Temari sighed, the toad boss's body is about the same size as Shukaku, and he looks very oppressive.
Shikamaru frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly with surprise: "In the written records of Konoha, Jiraiya, one of the three legendary ninjas, signed a spiritual contract with the Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places, and summoned the Myoboku Mountain toads to fight."
Temari looked at Shikamaru in a daze: "How do you know everything?"
Shikamaru knows both the tailed beasts and the Jinchuriki, and now he even said the term Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places, which she has never heard of. What's wrong with this guy?
Shikamaru didn't care, looking at the toad boss in the distance and explaining casually: "When I skip classes, I will go to a quiet place to sleep. When I can't sleep, I will read some strange books. I have to say that the atmosphere of Konoha's library is very good, and there are few people who won't disturb my sleep. "
The key point is the last sentence.
Temari rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Sasuke clenched his fists again, silently looking at the figure standing on the head of the toad boss.
In the distance, Naruto put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "The chakra consumption is too great. Fortunately, I have Kurama to support me, otherwise the summoning will fail again."
Kuroma frowned in his inner world: "The chakra I lent you today is a bit too much. I won't give you so much chakra again if it's not necessary next time..."
"It's okay!" Naruto's eyes flashed, and his eyes were hotly looking at Shukaku in front of him, or Gaara on Shukaku's head, "It doesn't matter what my body is like, I want to defeat that guy and punch him hard in the face, I want to protect Konoha!"
Kuroma: "..."
This time, his silence was not because he was speechless, but because he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Until a moment later, Kurama suddenly chuckled: "Well, this is Uzumaki Naruto. "
With a fixed look in his eyes, Kurama's tone became different from usual: "I will fully support you from now on, but the consequence is that you will lie in bed for an unknown period of time. In exchange, you have to give Shukaku a good beating."
Naruto clenched his fists: "It's a deal!"
As soon as the words fell, Kurama's chakra flowed out of the seal like a surging sea, and the powerful force instantly enveloped Naruto's entire body.
Pain, more painful than every time he borrowed Kurama's chakra in the past, Naruto clenched his teeth, he did not cry out because of the pain, he just stared at Gaara in front of him, the blood-red chakra seemed to be a fluid that enveloped Naruto again.
