Ficool

Chapter 140 - 140

Everyone looked in the direction Naruto pointed and gasped in surprise.

"Kawaii!" Ino's eyes lit up instantly. "Hey, Haruto, how about we take it home and make it a pet?!"

After Haruto's condensed air bullet hit Shukaku, its body suddenly shrank significantly.

Shukaku was now only about two meters tall—roughly the same size as Haruto.

Its chubby body actually looked a bit cute.

"Oh my god…" Haruto was just as surprised.

He saw that a large amount of Shukaku's sand body had been blasted away from his last attack.

Still… it might be a bit too big to keep as a pet.

"In that case…" Haruto said calmly, "Let's shrink it a little more!"

"Damn it, forget it!"

Shukaku looked at its reduced body and roared angrily, slamming its fists into the ground to absorb more sand.

But it hadn't considered one thing—the terrain in Konoha was completely different from Sunagakure.

If it wanted to absorb enough sand here to rebuild its body, it was basically impossible.

"You bastard!" Shukaku roared and charged straight toward Haruto.

"Ninjutsu—Shukaku Spear!"

Shukaku shouted as a purple-patterned sand spear formed in its hand.

It was actually preparing for hand-to-hand combat with Haruto!

"Haha! Hand-to-hand combat?!" Haruto smirked. "I like it!"

Haruto clenched his right fist, with two fingers extended.

"Focus your spirit—control the scissors with your energy!"

Inside the Golden Egg Shop, a cracked pair of scissors suddenly glowed and shot out of the shop, disappearing instantly.

Whoosh~~~

In just a blink, the scissors appeared on the battlefield with a piercing whistle.

"Huh? What's that?!" Naruto shaded his eyes with his hand, trying to see the object flying over.

"A pair of scissors?!" Neji muttered, confused by the sudden arrival.

"Scissors?!" Ino exclaimed in surprise.

She immediately remembered the pair Haruto had used to trim the Iron-Eating Beast, Bingtang's, fur.

"Wasn't that just a normal pair of scissors? Why would Haruto need them now?!" Ino thought in confusion.

"Could he be planning to fight Shukaku's spear with those scissors?!" A bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"Hmph! How ridiculous!" Shukaku sneered, eyeing the scissors in Haruto's hand. "My spear is one with me, and its power is immense. You actually want to block it with some broken scissors? Don't underestimate me!"

"Haha." Haruto smiled faintly. "Scissors?"

"I suggest you hold your tongue."

With that, Haruto stomped forward and rushed at Shukaku.

"Die, you filthy insect!" Shukaku yelled, hurling the spear with all his might.

Clang! Haruto raised the scissors and blocked it.

The flying sand spear was halted by the battered-looking scissors.

However, while Haruto did block the attack, the scissors shattered completely, breaking into pieces and falling to the ground.

"Let's see how you block this next one!" Shukaku roared, stretching his hand out to reform the sand into a new spear.

"Haha." Haruto remained calm, forming a seal and shouting:

"Demonic Sword—Thousand Blades!"

The broken iron fragments on the ground glowed with blue light, floated into the air, and quickly reassembled.

In just a blink, a long sword emitting a blue glow appeared in Haruto's hand.

However, the sword was also cracked and looked damaged.

"So what if it's a sword now?" Shukaku scoffed, raising his spear to throw it again.

But the moment Haruto grabbed the sword, his aura changed entirely. His fighting spirit surged, and he vanished.

By the time he reappeared, he was already in front of Shukaku.

"I'm taking you with me today. Let's see who dares to stop me!"

"So fast!" Shukaku was shocked and quickly dropped the spear.

"Shield of Shukaku!"

The sand surged rapidly, forming an impenetrable shield to block Haruto.

Crack!

Haruto's blade slammed into the shield—and immediately shattered.

"HAHAHAHA!" Shukaku burst out laughing.

"Is that all you've got? Another weapon made of trash iron?!"

"Shh." Haruto raised a finger and gestured at Shukaku to watch closely.

The shattered blade pierced through the shield and reassembled itself behind it.

"GG." Haruto said softly. With a forceful pull, the shield shattered into sand fragments.

Boom! Haruto followed up with a punch to Shukaku's head, blasting off half of it.

"AHH! IT HURTS!" Shukaku howled as the sand began to swirl and rebuild his head.

"Oh? It hurts?" Haruto grinned. "Good!"

With that, he launched a barrage of iron-fist punches like a raging storm, blasting Shukaku's sand body in every direction.

"My girlfriend wants to keep you as a pet. Do you agree?" Haruto asked.

"Hmph! I'm a supreme tailed beast! How could I become your pet?!" Shukaku said with disdain.

"Oh? Still not convinced?" Haruto said, continuing to pummel him as more sand went flying.

"Agree or not?!"

"No!"

Dust flew everywhere as Shukaku's body became smaller and smaller.

"Agree or not?!"

"No answer… Fine, I agree! I agree!" Shukaku finally broke, begging for mercy.

At this point, Shukaku had been beaten into a tiny, miserable form, now just the size of a raccoon.

Even in that form, he had multiple big lumps on his head—proof of the brutal beating Haruto had delivered.

"Ino!" Haruto waved at her to come over.

"I'm warning you!" Haruto turned to Shukaku and said sternly, "Don't play any tricks. Not even Hagoromo could save you if you try anything."

"What?!" Shukaku froze and stared at Haruto in disbelief.

It had been so long since anyone had uttered that name.

In the shinobi world, people had long forgotten the name "Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki"—they only remembered the Sage of Six Paths.

Now Haruto had casually mentioned it. Shukaku was shaken.

Remembering how Haruto casually absorbed his chakra earlier, Shukaku suddenly recalled stories of the Ōtsutsuki clan that the Sage had once told.

A clan with the ability to absorb ninjutsu and return it severalfold.

Being sharp-witted, Shukaku instantly realized Haruto was no ordinary human. He quickly gave up any thought of resisting and allowed Ino to hold and pet him.

"Well, now that this is settled, I should go check on that old man—the Third Hokage," Haruto said calmly.

"I just hope he's still alive."
