Seeing the 50-meter-tall One-Tail, Shun's eyes showed a genuine interest.
He crossed his arms, secretly pondering, 'I can collect some more of Shukaku's Chakra.'
The Seraph Mode's fiery wings slowly retracted, and golden Chakra began to emerge, making the air heavy.
Shun's lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes filled with playfulness. "One-Tail Shukaku, I represent the Uchiha to collect some interest."
Seeing Shun act so arrogant, two elderly figures quickly walked out of the crowd, they were Sunagakure's advisors Chiyo and Ebizo.
Chiyo nodded, her fingertips rapidly twitching. Puppet threads spread out like a spider web, and the puppet scroll tucked into her waist unfolded with a 'whoosh'.
White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets
Ten puppets dressed in white leaped out from the scroll, holding long swords and kunai, striking combat poses under the control of the threads.
Ebizo also pulled out a puppet scroll, summoning two puppets skilled in defense, blocking in front of him.
"Even if it costs me my old life, I must protect the Kazekage!"
Seeing their actions, some Sunagakure Jonin also wanted to step forward to help.
Shun did not put these people in his eyes.
Nature Mode!
Perfect Susanoo!
Within the golden Chakra, an orange Susanoo skeleton suddenly burst forth, like a giant peak emerging from the earth, rapidly covering itself with muscle and armor. Its height climbed at a visible speed.
At 210 meters, it was already more than four times Shukaku's height.
At 500 meters, its shadow began to cover the edge of Sunagakure.
At over 1000 meters, it was like a colossal orange mountain, standing above the desert.
"This monster... it's simply impossible to defeat."
The Suna ninjas began to break down. The legs of the ninjas in the front row went soft, instinctively retreating, their ninja tools clanging to the ground.
The villagers in the back screamed and hid back in their homes, not even daring to peek through the windows.
Seven-year-old Gaara looked up at the giant orange mountain, the stubbornness in his eyes completely replaced by terror, his small hand clutching his older sister Temari's clothes tightly.
Susanoo's giant hand suddenly descended, grabbing the struggling One-Tail Shukaku.
The orange armor gleamed coldly, and with a gentle squeeze of the giant hand, Shukaku let out a mournful roar, its Tailed Beast Chakra beginning to rapidly drain away.
Chiyo and Ebizo's movements instantly froze, their pupils contracting sharply. That colossal body of over 1000 meters, that terrifying power that crushed the Tailed Beast, shattered their courage.
"Th-ths is simply not something human strength can contend with." Ebizo's voice trembled, the hand holding his staff shook uncontrollably, and the puppet threads instantly slackened.
Chiyo's fingers also began to tremble. The ten puppets lost control, falling to the ground with a 'clatter', their parts scattered everywhere. Some puppets' arms broke, some long swords shattered, like a pile of discarded scrap metal.
The two instinctively retreated, their eyes filled with despair. They had lived most of their lives, witnessed countless great wars in the Ninja World, but they had never imagined that a ninja could summon such a terrifying Susanoo.
Even a Tailed Beast was easily suppressed. Their puppet jutsu, in front of Susanoo, was nothing more than tiny toys.
Shukaku's roar abruptly stopped, a trace of panic flashing in its black eyes. It instinctively launched an attack. The sand around its body condensed into dozens of house-sized sand bullets, raining down on Susanoo.
Wind Release: Sand Buckshot!
The sand bullets carried the force to destroy rocks, but upon impact with Susanoo's armor, they turned into a sky full of fine sand, not even leaving a shallow scratch.
Rasa frantically made hand signs on the ground, attempting to gather the remaining gold dust from underground. His proud Magnet Release had now become a joke.
"No... I am the Fourth Kazekage... how can I give up so easily?!"
Susanoo's other giant hand suddenly descended, grabbing Rasa like a dark cloud pressing down.
"Damn it! This guy is stealing my Chakra!" Shukaku let out a mournful roar.
Its Tailed Beast Chakra, like a receding tide, surged from Susanoo's palm into Shun's body. Its body visibly shrunk, its small black eyes filled with despair.
In just a few minutes, Shukaku's body had shrunk to less than ten meters, finally exiting Tailed Beast Mode with a 'poof'.
Karura collapsed in the giant hand, her face ashen, her breath weak.
Shun gently loosened his grip on the giant hand, placing Rasa and Karura on the scorching desert. The two were like rag dolls, without even the strength to lift a finger.
He scanned the collapsed two, then his gaze swept over Chiyo and Ebizo, who stood frozen in the crowd, finally settling on Temari.
Temari wore a light green dress, her yellow hair disheveled by the wind, and though her face was filled with fear, she fiercely shielded her younger brother, a hint of subtle stubbornness hidden in her eyes.
Shun's voice, amplified through Susanoo, echoed throughout Sunagakure. "Fourth Kazekage Rasa, tell your supported Fourth Prince Yuanichi Rito to go to the Land of Fire's capital tomorrow afternoon to sign the mediation agreement."
"If he doesn't come, or if Sunagakure dares to interfere in the Land of Fire's affairs again, I will make Sunagakure and the Land of Wind disappear from the Ninja World map."
After speaking, his gaze locked onto Temari as he added, "Also, watch over Temari for me. When she turns 18, I will marry her as my queen. If she gets a bump, an injury, or even loses a single strand of hair, I will make all of Sunagakure buried with her."
These words were like a thunderbolt, stunning all the Suna ninjas.
Chiyo and Ebizo trembled all over, instinctively looking at Temari, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Temari, however, stiffened, her face instantly turning pale. She instinctively hugged Gaara tighter, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Gaara felt his sister's trembling. He gently patted her back, but he couldn't even say a word of comfort.
Rasa lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, wanting to retort, but only able to cough up a mouthful of blood.
He looked at the 1000-meter-tall orange giant, at the unconscious Karura, and then at the trembling Temari. The last trace of resistance in his heart vanished, leaving only endless humiliation and helplessness.
"Damn bastard! He actually wants to forcibly marry my daughter and treat us like this."
Shun did not linger. A dazzling white light enveloped his body, and in the next second, he vanished.
The wind stirred up yellow sand that fell on Rasa and Karura, making their already disheveled appearance even more miserable.
Rasa struggled to get up. He helped the unconscious Karura, and looked blankly in the direction of Sunagakure, blood oozing from the corner of his lips.
