Chapter 946 Resurrecting Shukaku

At Sensa-ji Temple.

Seeing the monks perform the full prostration,

While Yecang was shocked, she was also considering whether she should kneel down and pay her respects.

"Come in since you're here."

The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and a slow voice came from behind.

After bowing respectfully outside the door, Shamen went inside with Yecang.

"Grandmaster... I didn't expect you to still be here, it's really... it's so wonderful!"

The monk's tone was filled with indescribable excitement, after all, he had been dead for so many years.

I never expected that my grandmaster would still be alive.

“You have already returned to secular life, and I am no longer your grandmaster.”

The monk immediately knelt down: "Grandmaster Jiyuan, even if I have returned to secular life, you will still be my grandmaster."

Master Jiyuan paused for a moment and did not continue.

He simply said, "You're already dead, so it's not appropriate for you to be here."

"I'm sorry, Master. The village of Sunagakure is about to be destroyed, and Shukaku has been lost from the village. I have no choice but to come here."

Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "All reincarnations are predetermined, so coming here is pointless."

Shamen said in a muffled voice, "I want to give it a try."

After a long silence, Jiyuan closed his eyes and said, "Shukaku is dead."

"Go and fetch the seventeen Arhat statues for the altar."

Yecang was both surprised and puzzled. How did Master Jiyuan know that Shukaku was dead?

What is an altar? Why were Arhat statues brought over?

However, she had no right to speak at this point and could only wait to the side.

The kneeling monk did not move, but asked:

"Grandmaster, why aren't the other people in the temple serving you?"

Ji Yuan said calmly, "Your master and senior brothers are all dead. There is only one novice monk in the temple who has received the inheritance of the Blessing."

"However, there have been recent changes in the desert, and he has already gone out to investigate on his own."

Shamen looked astonished: "Isn't it just Master who's here?"

Ji Yuan shook his head slightly, his voice calm: "It's alright, this old monk can still move."

"This……"

The monk looked conflicted. He wanted to serve his master, Jiyuan, but since he was a body of impure earth, outsiders were not allowed to enter.

"Go back."

Jiyuan seemed to have noticed the monk's predicament and helplessness.

"You don't have much time left."

"Yes, Grandmaster, take care."

With a sense of regret, Shamen led Ye Cang to the doorway. He knelt down and respectfully bowed to Master Jiyuan as a farewell.

Yecang obediently bowed and then followed Shamen back to where they had come from.

She held back for a long time, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"It's okay, say whatever you want to say."

The monk entered the passageway and spoke to Ye Cang. As he formed a hand seal, seventeen Arhat statues flew directly behind him.

Although Yecang found it somewhat novel, he wasn't surprised, since these Arhat statues seemed to be made of sand.

She was just asking out of curiosity:

"Second Generation Wind Shadow, how old is that... your grandmaster, Master Jiyuan?"

Keep in mind that the Second Wind Shadow has been dead for over forty years. In terms of seniority, if this Master Jiyuan is still alive, he must be at least eighty years old.

The monk glanced back at the end of the passageway.

"My master was over eighty years old when I was alive, but I don't know his exact age."

"Wh...what...?" Yecang was quite shocked.

In other words, this Master Jiyuan is at least 120 years old.

In the chaotic world of ninjas, this is simply unbelievable.

"Let's go to the altar first and revive Shukaku."

Shamon's words brought Yekura back to her senses, but the content of the conversation left her equally bewildered.

"Resurrect Shukaku?"

"Didn't Shukaku revive itself?"

The monk didn't speak, but simply waved for them to follow him.

Despite having a bellyful of questions, Ye Cang quickly followed.

They entered through another passageway and arrived at another huge cave.

The ground was entirely paved with huge white stones.

In the center is a huge altar shaped like the Chinese character "回" (hui), with various sacrificial implements placed inside the outer circle of the "回".

At the very center is a huge obsidian monument covered with sealing patterns similar to those on Shukaku.

Shamen searched back and forth within the outer circle of the character "回" and finally spotted an oval-shaped silver metal object.

There's clearly no one here, yet there's hardly any dust on it.

Shamen picked it up, a hint of joy appearing on his usually serious face.

"found it."

As Shamon injected chakra into it, the oval sphere floated up and, to Yekura's astonishment, disintegrated and quickly reassembled into a metal heart.

The monk looked very satisfied and then controlled the heart to deform.

The heart then transformed into a long knife.

The monk reached out and grasped the longsword, which shattered again, transforming into a set of silver gauntlets that wrapped around his hand.

Having found what he was looking for, Shamen felt much better and pointed to the altar in the center.

"Sensa-ji Temple has sealed Shukaku away for many years and is already inseparable from Shukaku."

"When Shukaku, a tailed beast, chakra automatically reassembles after death."

"But here, we can speed up his reunion and bring him back to life quickly."

"However, this will consume a lot of chakra."

Yekura looked surprised: "Doesn't that mean Shukaku will never be lost?"

With a wave of his hand, the monk sent all the Arhat statues behind him floating forward.

"Sensa-ji Temple has sealed Shukaku for a thousand years, so naturally it won't be lost."

"After all, if Shukaku is lost, other places will become deserts."

Ye Cang seemed to understand but not quite, but that wasn't what she was concerned about.

"Second Kazekage, how did Sunagakure use Shukaku in the past?"

Back when the first and second generations were around, other villages hadn't even started researching Jinchuriki yet.

After all, sealing techniques are considered high-level secret arts, and the only Jinchuriki is Mito Uzumaki.

Apart from Shukaku, most of the tailed beasts roam outside.

"You must know that as long as Shukaku is here, no one can destroy our Sunagakure."

As the monk spoke, he clasped his hands together, and the Arhat statues that followed him flew up and circled around the obsidian.

Under the control of the monk, the Arhat statue shattered inch by inch, releasing a large amount of chakra.

Ouch!

With a muffled thud, Shamen struck the obsidian with his palm.

All the chakra floating nearby was absorbed into the obsidian.

The runes on it seemed to come alive and began to flow.

At this moment, Yekura could feel the ground shaking slightly.

A surge of underground energy shot straight up from the ground to the altar.

The obsidian on the altar suddenly emitted a bright light, so bright that Yekura couldn't open her eyes at all.

woohoo hoo...

A gentle breeze began to swirl around the altar, and as the wind intensified, a ball of chakra twisted and took shape inside the altar.

With a flick of his hand, the heavy silver arm guards transformed back into their original oval shape and flew into the ball of chakra.

A shrill voice, filled with terror, echoed within the altar: "You're a Shaman!? How are you still alive!?"
