Chapter 103: The Closest Shukaku Has Ever Been To Death
Over Sunagakure, countless petals fell.
Pieces of petals swayed down before people's eyes. Such beautiful scenery, yet no one was fascinated by it; instead, everyone showed horrified eyes. Staring at the millions of flowers falling and the man standing in the void, Yuichi looked down coldly. With that icy gaze, people could feel how cold Sunagakure was at the moment, even through the light curtain.
He raised a hand! The blood on Yuichi's arm had clotted into a scar. Gently spreading his five fingers toward the empty space, the wind suddenly became extremely swift and violent. Countless petals of Senbonzakura swept toward the Shukaku below.
The entire field of vision was full of cherry blossoms. Crazy like a storm, they tore towards Shukaku!
Boom!
There was a loud crash. A series of terrifying ripples suddenly spread. Everyone's eyes went wide.
"This kid... does he intend to kill Shukaku?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha Village was getting scared. Yuichi's current appearance and state suggested he planned to kill the Tailed Beast entirely! Is this guy crazy?
An ear-piercing roar came from the light curtain.
"It seems that he really intends to!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiraiya couldn't believe how the beast had persisted for so long in the face of this trick. The number of blade fragments was simply terrifying—densely packed with no gaps at all. As a bystander, Jiraiya could clearly see how powerful this incredible ability was.
Shukaku, the Tailed Beast of the Ninja World and Sunagakure's most important strategic weapon, was actually suppressed by this technique. Shukaku's screams kept ringing out; it had no way to resist at all, relying only on the sand and the Tailed Beast Chakra to defend as much as possible. But such a simple defense would be broken sooner or later. At that time, Shukaku would really be killed by this crazy kid.
"Look... behind him!"
Tsunade kept staring at Yuichi and suddenly found some blade fragments behind him turning into Zanpakutō, lined up together. At this time, Yuichi hadn't completely opened the special arena of the technique (Senkei), but just used the blades to form swords.
After raising his hand, a handful of swords floated down, and Yuichi grabbed one.
"Can you still hold on? What a thick-skinned beast!"
He raised his hand and raised the knife. Reiatsu exploded instantly along with Haki. Surrounding the Zanpakutō in Yuichi's hand, circles of terrifying ripples formed, spreading rapidly outward and blowing the petals falling in the air. A gust of wind was born on the blade, and the moment the wind surged...
Buzz!
A ray of light burst out like an arrow. In an instant, he slammed into Shukaku's forehead fiercely.
The sound of swords colliding rang out. Shukaku, who was wrapped by hundreds of millions of blades, was stubbornly resisting Senbonzakura's tearing. But when the slash fell suddenly, Shukaku's defense was instantly torn apart. The sand exploded, and the coat of Tailed Beast Chakra was ripped open. At the same time, countless blade fragments frantically tore at Shukaku's flesh and blood.
"Ah.... It hurts.... Stop it... Human... I admit defeat... This uncle is willing to admit defeat!"
It gave up?!
The ninjas were stunned. The rampaging Tailed Beast actually admitted defeat? Did it bow down to humans? Sunagakure had suppressed Tailed Beast rampages countless times under past Kazekages, but there had never been a Kazekage that made Shukaku open his mouth to surrender. Even if Shukaku was defeated, he still clamored to kill everyone in Sunagakure.
The appearance of such a scene made the Sand Shinobi feel extremely unreal. Is this really the Tailed Beast in their impression? The violent and bloodthirsty beast with terrifying power?
"Admit defeat? I'm sorry! Now I don't accept any surrender! I just want to see how thick your beast's hide is!"
Yuichi's voice sounded indifferent as he raised his hand again, the Zanpakutō giving off a strange cold light.
Shukaku, suppressed by countless petals, looked at Yuichi in the sky through the gaps of Senbonzakura. When seeing Yuichi raise the knife again, Shukaku became anxious.
Suddenly, a sharp knife light appeared again and cut toward Shukaku. It was naturally accompanied by the miserable cry of the beast. But it wasn't over yet. The light came again.
Terrifying fluctuations erupted one after another! One slash after another fell, and Yuichi always maintained a steady rhythm—one slash every three seconds. Not fast, not slow. The blinding light flashed on and off. Shukaku's screams kept rising and falling.
People in both worlds were afraid to continue watching this kind of scene. Devil! Yuichi was simply a devil to torture a Tailed Beast like this. But looking at Yuichi, he seemed to be enjoying it, having no thought of stopping at all.
Shua!
Suddenly, dozens of Zanpakutō behind Yuichi flew toward Shukaku! They pierced into its body. The power of Reiatsu invaded through the blades, disturbing its Tailed Beast Chakra. The Chakra garment on the surface of the crane was destroyed.
Immediately afterward, Yuichi held a Zanpakutō in both hands and held it high. Countless Senbonzakura petals suddenly floated up from Shukaku's body and converged toward the sword in Yuichi's hand.
Boom!
A beam of light forming a storm of pink petals soared into the sky, revolving around the blade. Lying on the ground, pinned down by Reiatsu, Shukaku stared at Yuichi with wide eyes. "You... you... you... what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Yuichi sneered and said slowly, "Of course, it's the last blow for you!"
A strong killing intent erupted.
Shukaku was dumbfounded. It was the first time it had heard someone talk about killing it! What? Are you kidding? I am a Tailed Beast! I have huge energy; what is going on with this human being? Isn't he greedy for my strength? He actually wants to kill me!
When Yuichi said that he wanted to kill Shukaku, even Sengoku was in a hurry. After the kid got angry, he completely forgot the purpose of this battle: take this Tailed Beast with terrifying energy, don't kill it! If he killed it, who knew if it counted as a win? If it was judged that they failed, wouldn't everything before be in vain?
This One Tail Shukaku looked like a living thing, but in Sengoku's eyes, it was a gem full of energy. Its value to the Pirate World was self-evident!
But Yuichi had no scruples at all.
He cut down with one stroke!
The sound of breaking wind exploded, resounding through the clouds. At this moment, thousands of blade fragments swirled around Yuichi's Zanpakutō, tearing the air with frantic cutting. The astonishing airflow formed a terrifying wind blade that rolled down towards Shukaku.
At this moment, the Five Kages in the Ninja World were stunned. This kid really didn't care about anything and just wanted to kill Shukaku?
Watching the petals fall like a Shinigami's sickle, Shukaku felt the fear of death for the first time. It felt as if its body had fallen into the River Styx, being engulfed by a constant cold tide.
"I am willing... to recognize you as my master... Don't kill me... Please..."
"Stop!!!!!!"
Shukaku screamed its last cry, closing its eyes, daring not to look at those terrifying blade fragments.
When Shukaku shouted the last word...
The Zanpakutō stopped!
