Chapter 658 Sober
"Teacher, are you ready!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's tense nerves relaxed slightly. She took a deep breath and decisively swung her right hand downwards.
In that instant, the fireball she had just hurled into the sky exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Flames shot into the sky, heat waves rolled in, and a deafening roar filled the air, making it seem as if the surrounding air itself was ablaze.
Shukaku, which bore the brunt of the attack, suffered particularly heavy damage.
It roared in agony, and half of its hideous head was instantly blown off.
However, this is a vast desert, and for Shukaku, which has a powerful regenerative ability, such a serious injury can only last for ten seconds at most before it is quickly restored.
In the blink of an eye, before Shukaku could recover from the excruciating pain, a Sand Village ninja with his face painted with strange paint and clutching a large roll of thick cloth suddenly appeared.
She moved swiftly and quickly to the east of Shukaku, and then without hesitation, she forcefully shoved the cloth in her hand into the ground.
Almost simultaneously, three members of the Sand Village Sealing Team emerged from the other three directions.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, and they quickly and steadily planted the rolls of cloth in their hands into the ground.
In an instant, the four rolls of cloth seemed to come alive and began to roll on their own, emitting a series of ear-piercing whooshing sounds.
In the blink of an eye, huge strips of cloth, each two meters wide, shot out like arrows, intertwining and wrapping around Shukaku's massive body.
Upon feeling restrained, Shukaku became extremely agitated, twisting and struggling desperately, its four thick, powerful claws flailing wildly, stirring up clouds of dust.
However, as the cloth was wrapped tighter and tighter, Shukaku's already enormous body began to swell up like an inflated balloon.
Nevertheless, the rolls of cloth showed no signs of loosening.
Suddenly, mysterious sealing runes shone on the surface of the cloth, flashing and shining brightly.
These runes seemed to possess some kind of magical power, causing the surging chakra within Shukaku to be continuously drained away like a burst dam.
As chakra rapidly depletes, Shukaku's once impenetrable defense begins to decline sharply, like a crumbling building about to collapse.
At this critical moment, Yekura keenly seized the opportunity.
Her slender hands moved swiftly, forming a series of complex and mysterious hand seals.
In an instant, a burst of intense heat erupted from her body, transforming into a blazing fireball.
The fireball resembled a rapidly spinning and shrinking star, emitting a dazzling, incandescent white light.
Immediately afterwards, Yekura raised her arm sharply, and the white fireball shot straight toward Shukaku's head like a bolt of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the fireball accurately poured into Shukaku's head, its force like molten lava rolling down a volcano, surging and unstoppable.
A deep, muffled growl was heard from Shukaku, and his entire body trembled violently.
At the same time, the chakra that had been gathered within its body exploded instantly under the impact of the fireball's powerful energy, scattering in all directions.
At this moment, the fabric that was wrapping Shukaku became perfect fuel, and with the chakra that had just been absorbed into it acting as an accelerant, the fire grew even more fierce and quickly spread to Shukaku's entire body.
In an instant, Shukaku had transformed into a colossal torch, its flames soaring into the sky and illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Despite this, Shukaku persevered with its tenacious willpower, but its strength was ultimately no match for such a fierce attack.
Suddenly, Shukaku’s tightly closed eyes snapped open, but now the one controlling his body was no longer Shukaku himself, but Rasa, who was deep inside him.
When Rasa opened his eyes, Shukaku instantly lost all control over his chakra.
Shukaku, not to be outdone, let out a sharp, piercing roar:
"I'll be back! You guys just wait and see!"
Pfft... Pfft...
Large amounts of sand began to flow uncontrollably from Shukaku's body, continuously flowing outwards.
Ultimately, Shukaku's body, made of sand, could no longer withstand such a heavy blow and collapsed with a crash.
After the thick sand fell, what was revealed to everyone was Luo Sha, who had suffered severe burns!
A large number of Sunagakure ninjas surged over like a tide, surrounding her tightly. Among them were not only Pakura, but also medical ninjas from Sunagakure.
At this moment, Luo Sha's skin was covered with large areas of red and black, making him look terrifying and almost unbearable to look at.
As for the severity of the injury, while it's not fully cooked, it's definitely at least half-cooked.
It's fortunate that he was a Jinchūriki; otherwise, he would probably have died long ago.
However, even though Jinchūriki possess powerful vitality, it doesn't mean they can't feel pain.
The pain of being relentlessly burned and scorched by raging flames is something that ordinary people cannot endure.
Despite this, Rasa was surrounded by so many people. As the previous Kazekage, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, regardless of whether he could endure the excruciating pain.
Even though his eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Even though his gums were bleeding from being bitten, he kept his lips tightly pressed together and didn't utter a single groan.
Seeing this, the medical ninjas acted quickly. One of them stepped forward with a delicate spray bottle and sprayed Rasa without hesitation.
The moment the medicine touched Luo Sha's injured skin, his body tensed up instantly, like a bowstring drawn taut.
Immediately afterwards, a low and suppressed roar suddenly rang out, the sound as if it were being forced out from the depths of his throat, sending chills down one's spine.
Seeing this, Ye Cang, standing to the side, flashed a look of disgust in her eyes and questioned her mercilessly:
"Back then, you confidently declared that becoming a Jinchūriki would be a piece of cake, and even boasted that you could definitely suppress the Tailed Beast Shukaku. Now it seems you were just being incredibly arrogant!"
She slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on the person beside her:
"How many times has he gone berserk now?"
The woman standing to the side was Juan, the captain of the sealing squad.
She is not only Yekura's prized disciple, but also a versatile talent who is proficient in the art of sealing with cloth scrolls.
Since Yekura ascended to the throne of Kazekage, Maki, as his disciple, has also seen his status and position rise steadily.
Today, she has become one of the most powerful figures in Sunagakure.
At this crucial moment, she certainly wouldn't let her master's words go unanswered.
So she replied respectfully, "Teacher, according to statistics, this is the seventh time she has gone on a rampage this month."
