Maki and the two others were unknowingly drenched in sweat. Just standing next to the Three-Tails, the overwhelming pressure made them tremble slightly.
The word Tailed Beast was synonymous with terror in the eyes of most Ninja.
After all, when Gaara, the One-Tail Jinchuriki, lost control, he caused unknown damage to the entire Sand Ninja.
"What's wrong, everyone?"
Bubble's expression remained calm, looking at the somewhat nervous faces of the three.
"Nothing."
Maki forced himself to calm down, putting on a serene expression. At this moment, he represented not only himself but also the Sand Ninja.
After speaking, Maki leaped onto the back of the Three-Tails. The other two Sand Ninja exchanged glances, their legs trembling slightly, and also jumped up.
Standing on the back of the Three-Tails, the oppressive pressure was even heavier.
Who could make a Tailed Beast so calm?
Maki gritted his teeth and, with the other two Sand Ninja, walked forward along the Three-Tails' massive, island-like shell.
It didn't take long for the three of them to see the two figures on top of the Three-Tails' head.
With just a glance, their eyes settled on a young man sitting there.
Maki's expression became serious, and he stepped forward, saying, "Maki represents the Sand Ninja Village to negotiate with you."
Just as Maki was about to jump from the giant shell onto the Three-Tails' neck, a calm voice sounded in the ears of Maki and the two others: "You can come up, but that doesn't mean you are qualified to walk here. Just stand there."
Maki and the two others' faces changed as they looked in the direction of the voice; it was the young man sitting on the Three-Tails' head.
"Konoha's strength is far stronger than imagined. A joint effort between the Sand Ninja and Kirigakure is the only way now."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Maki's face, but now was not the time for impulsive actions.
"Your Sand Ninja need us Kirigakure, but we Kirigakure don't need you."
Yūto rested one hand on his chin and spoke without turning his head.
Hearing Yūto's words, a look of expectation flashed across Maki's face. He was clearer than anyone about the current situation of the Sand Ninja.
"You letting our Sand Ninja be stationed next to your Kirigakure, I presume you don't want to see Konoha completely wipe us out. As long as you state your conditions, our Sand Ninja can consider them."
Maki bowed deeply towards Yūto and spoke solemnly.
"Bring your One-Tail Jinchuriki here."
Yūto said calmly.
Maki and the two others' faces drastically changed. They were about to refuse, but remembering the current plight of the Sand Ninja, they couldn't help but hesitate.
"I don't have much patience, agree or leave."
Yūto said calmly.
Maki couldn't help but grit his teeth, turning to the two Sand Ninja behind him:
"Bring Gaara here."
The two Sand Ninja exchanged glances, nodded, and quickly turned to leave.
"What do you intend to do?" Maki asked in a low voice, watching the two leave.
Yūto did not answer Maki, or rather, he was too lazy to answer.
For a moment, the entire air seemed to fall silent.
It was at this moment that Maki suddenly noticed something strange: the Three-Tails beneath his feet had barely moved at all.
Its massive body, even its breathing, seemed deliberately suppressed.
Looking at the young man sitting there, a strange and fearful feeling suddenly arose in Maki's heart.
Not long after, the two Sand Ninja appeared before everyone, bringing with them a seemingly weak Gaara.
Maki glanced at Gaara, then turned to look at Yūto, just about to say something.
The next moment, Maki's pupils suddenly constricted. Without him realizing it, Yūto's figure had appeared in front of Maki. Maki hadn't sensed when Yūto had appeared at all.
Seeing Gaara being brought over, a faint smile hung on Yūto's face as he walked towards Gaara.
Although Yūto needed the power of the Tailed Beast, he wasn't a secretive organization like the Akatsuki. As one of the few people with the highest authority in the entire Ninja World.
Some things could be done openly. Hiding would only make others more suspicious.
"Who are you?"
Gaara saw Yūto walking towards him, his body involuntarily tensed, and a faint, brutal aura unconsciously emanated from him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just taking something."
Yūto said softly.
However, as Yūto was about to approach Gaara, a stream of sand directly attacked Yūto.
Seeing this scene, Maki and the two others' faces showed nervous expressions.
Maki wasn't worried that Gaara could harm the young man in front of him. Just the undetectable speed he had shown earlier was enough to prove how strong this young man was.
What truly worried Maki was that this young man might take his anger out on the Sand Ninja because of this incident.
Yūto raised an eyebrow, and with a casual flick of his hand, he easily scattered all the sand in front of him.
A look of surprise flashed across Gaara's face. In his perception, the sand that Yūto had scattered had actually lost his control.
Yūto raised his hand and pointed towards Gaara. At this moment, a newly condensed stream of sand blocked Gaara's path again.
Hmm?
A look of interest appeared on Yūto's face. To others, both streams of sand blocking Gaara were Tailed Beast power.
However, in Yūto's eyes, these two powers were completely different.
Is it the power of Gaara's mother, Karura?
Thinking of this, Yūto's mind couldn't help but recall Uzumaki Kushina, who had been left behind in Naruto's body.
He raised his finger and flicked it, easily shattering the obstructing sand in front of him. Before anyone could react, Yūto's finger had touched Gaara's head.
In Gaara's mental space.
Yūto looked at the One-Tail Shukaku, who was staring at him in a daze, and a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand.
Roar!
"Who are you? How did you appear here!"
The One-Tail Shukaku let out a loud roar, bellowing.
"How unlikable."
Yūto said helplessly, picking at his ear, while simultaneously pointing forward with his hand.
A Chakra chain surged out and, in the One-Tail Shukaku's angry expression, easily plunged into the One-Tail Shukaku's body.
"This is... the power of the Uzumaki Clan?"
The One-Tail Shukaku let out an angry roar, but unfortunately, it was powerless to resist.
With a thought, Yūto's Chakra chain rapidly retracted, and a mass of the One-Tail Shukaku's Chakra was directly pulled into Yūto's body.
"Done."
Yūto looked at the still roaring One-Tail Shukaku, a satisfied expression on his face.
Except for the Nine-Tailed, Three-Tails, and Six-Tails, the other Tailed Beasts didn't recognize him, which saved Yūto from worrying about his information being spread by these Tailed Beasts.
With a thought, Yūto withdrew from Gaara's mental space.
From the outside, it seemed to have happened in an instant.
Maki and the others only saw Yūto's hand touch Gaara's head and then release it.
Even Gaara himself didn't feel much.
"Alright, I'm satisfied."
Yūto said with a smile, looking at the stunned Maki and the two others.
