Chapter 172: Pu-Style Surprise, Shouhe Yuzao Mode

"It really surprises me that there are enemies you fear!"

"I get it, Tamamo."

Temari, who was running fast, heard Yuzao's reminder. A trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes as she formed hand seals, then shouted.

"Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique!"

With a loud bang, a Shadow Clone appeared beside her and immediately rushed toward her home in the village.

Since today was the Kazekage's succession ceremony, Temari, who was wearing the Kazekage robe, didn't have Naruto's Flying Thunder God Kunai with her.

Well, the Shadow Clone technique was taught to her by Naruto to help her in situations like this.

"Gaara, you have to be careful! I feel that guy is not easy..."

Shukaku, sensing the danger of Urashiki chasing after them, felt an inexplicable fear and warned Gaara.

"Really? Then let's deal with him together!"

Gaara, who was quickly leaving the Sand Shinobi village, had a strange look in his eyes. He spoke solemnly.

Immediately, the Chakra coat surrounding him appeared, and his entire form shifted as he activated the Shukaku Guard Mode.

"Oh, quack quack... You can use this state in this world? Interesting..."

Urashiki observed Gaara's drastic transformation, licking his lips with amusement. He threw the fishing rod in his hand toward Gaara again.

With a swift wave of his hand, Gaara summoned a wave of sand, rising tens of meters high and rushing toward Urashiki like a tsunami.

The fishing line and Urashiki himself were instantly overwhelmed and swallowed by the sand, like duckweed in a storm.

"Sand Waterfall Burial..."

Gaara timed it perfectly, pressing his hands to the sand. Bloodlust flashed in his eyes as he shouted in a low voice.

As his voice fell, the sand wave in front of him suddenly contracted, compressing inward.

"Is it done?"

Shukaku, attached to Gaara's form, asked quietly, staring at the sand with anticipation.

"Should be..."

Gaara replied calmly with just two words, but before he could finish, a red Chakra fishing line shot out from the sand.

Always vigilant, Gaara quickly changed his position. At the same time, he controlled the sand to form dozens of sand ropes to block the incoming fishing line.

After a dazzling flash of white light, Urashiki reappeared in front of Gaara.

"What a terrifying opponent! To survive the Sand Waterfall Burial..."

Gaara muttered under his breath, his expression grim. He formed another mudra with his hands, causing the sand around him to tremble. Sand pellets the size of pebbles began to form around him.

The dense sand pellets were as numerous as stars in the sky...

"Sand Shot!"

Gaara shouted as the Chakra around him exploded. Countless sand pellets shot toward Urashiki like bullets, their speed breaking the sound barrier.

"It's not over yet!"

"Wind Style: Wind Killing Formation!"

Temari, having arrived at the scene, waved the three-star fan in her hand and shouted with determination.

Immediately, a vacuum of air wrapped around the sand bullets, enhancing them and launching a deadly barrage. The wind also doubled the speed and power of the sand bullets.

"Return in time..."

Faced with the dense and fast barrage, Urashiki coolly activated his blue Rinnegan, reversing time to avoid the attacks.

Temari and Gaara watched as Urashiki flashed around them, his figure shifting like a shadow. None of the attacks seemed to land on him.

"Temari, let me handle Shukaku!"

Tamamo, seeing the blue Rinnegans, felt a rush of fear in her heart and shouted to Temari.

After hearing Tamamo's words, Temari didn't ask any more questions. She extended her hand and gently patted Gaara's body.

After a breath...

"I understand... Sister, I'm going to start!"

Gaara took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Urashiki, who had already dodged the attacks with ease. The Chakra coat around him began to shrink rapidly.

"Tamamo, let's begin..."

Temari clasped her hands together and, with a low shout, spoke solemnly.

In an instant, a Chakra coat similar to Naruto's appeared on Temari's body.

Tamamo Mode, belonging to Temari, activated instantly!

At the same time, Gaara quickly completed the Tailed Beast transformation, and One-Tail Shukaku entered the stage.

Temari stood on top of the crane, and the Chakra that belonged to Tamamo surged.

In just two breaths, Shukaku, now wearing the Nine-Tails Chakra coat, appeared in front of Urashiki.

This was Tamamo's plan, based on the power of the Nine Tails. At this point, Temari and Gaara hadn't yet developed their strongest ninjutsu.

Only by combining their powers could they barely compete with Ōtsutsuki, buying time until Naruto could arrive to support them.

This wasn't as simple as 1+1. The super strong Chakra storm erupted with Shukaku at the center. Even someone as strong as Urashiki was blown back again and again!

However, Urashiki wasn't angry at all; instead, he was pleasantly surprised...

"Blunt.

You really gave me a big surprise!

It seems there wasn't just one fox in this world.

Today is truly going to be a bumper harvest..."**

Urashiki greedily gazed at the towering Shukaku, then reached out and plucked out his eyes before eating them, starting his transformation.

With his current state, he knew he couldn't beat his opponents.

"He even ate his own eyes!! What is going on??"

Temari looked at Urashiki, who was acting strangely, her face filled with horror as she exclaimed.

"Don't mind him... Listen to me, everyone use your strength together!"

Yuzao, watching Urashiki transform through the light gate, quickly urged. The Tailed Beast Bomb began to form in his mouth.

At this time, Shukaku was also cooperating with Yuzao to condense the Tailed Beast Bomb, adding strength to Yuzao's attack.

"Magnet Style: Tailed Beast Rasengan..."

Temari, using the boost from Tamamo Mode and Shukaku's Magnet Style seal, unleashed her strongest attack so far.

Gaara, in the body of Shukaku, had entered the beast form after being animalized by the Tailed Beast.

After all, not all perfect Jinchūriki possess the same Chakra state as the Nine Tails.

"Roar..."

"Hah!"

As Urashiki passed through the light gate, the massive Tailed Beast Bomb, carrying the Magnet Style Rasengan, collided head-on with him.

Urashiki's golden pupils trembled as he stretched out his hand to cover his chest. His Rinnegan pressure exploded instantly...

The two forces collided mid-air, creating a spectacle akin to the end of the world. The violent Chakra storm and repulsive air pressure were released in all directions!

The aftermath of this powerful clash affected even Sunagakure, several miles away.

"Quack, quack... Thank you so much for giving me Chakra as soon as I transformed!"

Urashiki extended his hand to counteract the Tailed Beast Bomb, smiling triumphantly. He opened his mouth, revealing a hole, and began to absorb the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Temari, Shukaku, Tamamo, and Gaara watched this operation in stunned silence.

The powerful Tailed Beast Bomb… their opponent could actually absorb it?

What a terrifying enemy this was!!!

As Urashiki absorbed the Tailed Beast Bomb and the Magnet Style Rasengan, with a wave of his hands, a massive Chakra black stick shot toward Shukaku and Tamamo.

Having evolved into the form of the crane, Urashiki could now use the abilities of Shinra Tensei and devouring ninjutsu. He also had the ability to use the outsider technique, making various forms of black stick ninjutsu.

This was a must-have ninja tool for restraining Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki.

"Quick, retreat..."

Yuzao urgently reminded, and Shukaku quickly leaped away to avoid the attack of the Chakra black stick.

However, after Urashiki transformed into his crane form, his speed increased several times.

He appeared almost instantly where Shukaku had escaped, throwing several Chakra black sticks.

Seeing this, Yuzao immediately used his Chakra to block, but against the black sticks that restrained the power of the Tailed Beast, it was ineffective.

The Chakra black sticks still pierced into Shukaku's body.

In an instant, Shukaku and Tamamo felt their Chakra destabilize, and their bodies froze.

Temari and Gaara found themselves in a similar situation!

"Quack, quack...

Now I can recycle the Tanuki and Fox Chakra.

After absorbing all of you, I can go find Uzumaki Naruto..."**

Urashiki looked at Shukaku and Tamamo with pride, smiling triumphantly.

The fishing rod in his hand reappeared, and he threw it toward them.

Just as this critical moment occurred, a voice suddenly rang out.

At the front end of the Chakra hook, there was a burst of space distortion, and the fishing line and hook were instantly pulled into the Kamui space.

In the next moment, a golden figure appeared above Shukaku's head.

"Uzumaki Naruto!!!"

Urashiki, looking at the newcomer, felt his golden pupils shrink. He spoke with a tyrannical expression.
