"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
As several crisp shouts rang out, three incomparably sharp wind blades sliced through the sky, striking Shukaku's massive body with lightning-like speed.
A large burst of sand exploded around Shukaku's body.
However, what was shocking was that the huge crater just blasted into Shukaku's body was filled in almost instantly as sand from the surroundings was continuously drawn in with each gentle breath he took, restoring it to its original state in the blink of an eye, as if that terrifying attack had never happened.
At this moment, the three jonin dressed in black moved around Shukaku like ghosts, darting back and forth, shifting and weaving.
Their figures were elusive, their movements swift as the wind, constantly drawing Shukaku's attention.
"You damn pests, I'm going to crush every single one of you!"
Shukaku roared in fury, his voice shaking the sky.
His thick arm suddenly shot forward, carrying overwhelming force as it grabbed fiercely toward the three jonin.
Facing this thunderous strike, these jonin from Sunagakure displayed combat experience and reaction speed far beyond ordinary people.
With a flicker of movement, they used just two clever directional changes to easily evade Shukaku's first attack.
After missing his strike, Shukaku grew even more enraged. He wildly swung both arms, whipping up fierce gusts of wind, determined to smash these three annoying flies flat.
Meanwhile, the three jonin worked in tight coordination, perfectly in sync. At times they maneuvered on the ground, dodging and circling; at other times they leapt into the air.
While airborne, they used exquisite Wind Release techniques to change their positions, narrowly avoiding Shukaku's dense, rain-like barrage of attacks again and again.
Shukaku was furious beyond measure, roaring nonstop.
At this point, he had already lost all reason. There was only one thought in his mind, catch up to and destroy these three pests.
Unfortunately, since he was still in a sealed state, the power he could use was only a portion of the chakra he had absorbed from the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
If he could break free of all his seals and release his true, immense chakra, then his size would be far more than just a mere dozen meters tall.
"Is everything ready?"
Pakura stood at the front of the group, her expression grave as she shouted loudly.
Behind her followed more than a dozen ANBU members dressed in black and wearing masks. Their steps were light and quick, moving like ghosts through the shadows.
However, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they cautiously moved around the perimeter.
Pakura knew this mission was dangerous. Not only did they need to deal with the enemy, they also had to ensure the safe evacuation of the surrounding civilians.
Therefore, she had to first confirm that everyone had been moved to safety, and at the same time ensure that the traps and sealing teams were in position.
Time passed second by second. Finally, an ANBU member hurried over to report to Pakura, "Reporting to the Kazekage, everything is ready!"
Although the situation was quite troublesome, for these experienced ANBU, this kind of battle had already happened many times this month, so they were quite familiar with it.
Then the ANBU member continued, "All civilians have been evacuated, and the sealing team has prepared all necessary sealing tools. They can deploy the sealing technique at any time."
After hearing the report, Pakura didn't hesitate. She reached out and pulled off the Kazekage robe she was wearing, revealing a tight, backless combat outfit underneath.
The outfit fit closely to her body, highlighting her toned figure and agile movements.
The next moment, Pakura let out a low shout, "Scorch Release: Blazing Flame Technique!"
As her voice fell, she swiftly raised both hands. In an instant, two enormous fireballs appeared in her palms.
At the same time, five more blazing fireballs emerged behind her, circling rapidly around her as if forming a ring of fire.
When she held the fireballs, a miraculous scene occurred, her body was able to hover briefly in midair, like a light bird.
Then, using the flames as propulsion, she shot toward Shukaku like an arrow released from a bow.
While gliding through the air, the five fireballs behind her gradually merged together, eventually forming an unimaginably massive fireball.
Pakura raised her arms, as if lifting a blazing sun.
With her movement, the enormous fireball began to spin.
With a flick of her wrist, the massive fireball shot forward like lightning, flying straight toward Shukaku in the distance.
It moved so fast that there was no time to react.
At that moment, the surrounding Sunagakure ninja had already sensed the danger the instant the fireball appeared, quickly scattering in all directions.
On the other side, Shukaku naturally did not sit still.
His huge coin-shaped eyes locked onto the incoming fireball, filled with endless rage and killing intent.
Just as the fireball was about to hit him, Shukaku suddenly extended a thick arm made of sand and grabbed fiercely toward it.
With a thunderous "boom," the moment his sand arm collided with the fireball, an immense shockwave erupted, flames scattering and smoke billowing.
Shukaku's sand arm failed to withstand the power of the fireball. Instead, the instant it made contact, it was burned into liquid, molten material flowing down the arm and dripping onto the ground with sizzling sounds.
"Damn it! It's you again! Pakura!"
Shukaku roared angrily, his voice sharp and piercing as it echoed across the battlefield.
This wasn't the first time Shukaku had fought Pakura. He already recognized this new Kazekage.
Clearly, he was filled with hatred and hostility toward her.
Pakura showed no fear in the face of Shukaku's roar. She stared coldly at the massive creature before her, silently calculating her next move.
Seeing his attack fail, Shukaku immediately launched another one. He opened his massive mouth, a sharp hiss coming from his throat:
"Wind Release: Sand Scatter Shot!"
As he roared, countless fine grains of sand shot out like raindrops, enhanced by Wind Release, blasting toward Pakura at incredible speed.
Seeing this, Pakura didn't dare relax for even a moment. She swung her arm forcefully, tossing the fireball in her hand straight into the sky.
Then her figure flashed as she performed several agile flips in succession, skillfully dodging the sand projectiles fired by Shukaku.
The sand struck the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and leaving behind rows of dense, uneven craters, clearly showing the immense power of the attack.
