The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 753, Theater 4

Right there on the city wall, it had just been bombarded by Shukaku's incredibly powerful Tailed Beast Ball, and a huge hole was instantly blasted in it.

After unleashing this attack, the extremely violent aura emanating from Shukaku subsided rapidly, like a receding tide.

After all, Shukaku is not appearing in its true form at this moment, but is being manifested in the world by using Rasa's body as a vessel.

The ability to successfully unleash such a powerful Tailed Beast Ball was entirely dependent on Obito continuously injecting dark chakra into its body.

However, now that the energy accumulated in his body has been completely released through that attack, if Shukaku were to launch an attack of this scale again, Rasa would probably have to wake up from his slumber.

Having finally regained his freedom, Shukaku naturally wouldn't easily let go of this great opportunity to wreak havoc and vent his long-suppressed resentment.

Having been trapped inside a Jinchūriki's body for so long, he was already on the verge of exploding at the slightest provocation. Rasa actually dared to try to control him; it was utterly delusional!

Just after it blasted a large hole in the city wall, a figure suddenly sped across the sky.

To be precise, the three of them flew over together, standing on a sand mat.

Shukaku took a closer look and burst into laughter:

"Haha, it's you, you little rascal! I can't believe you've grown up so much!"

The visitor was none other than Gaara, who had once had intricate connections with Shukaku.

After Shukaku was resurrected, he was captured, and the Jinchuriki he encountered were all good-for-nothings.

Although Rasa's strength was indeed quite formidable, Shukaku loathed him to the extreme.

Every time he broke free from Rasa's body, he was met with a brutal beating from the villagers of Sunagakure.

However, compared to Rasa, Gaara's face is undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye.

Gaara's face showed a hint of surprise. Clearly, even he himself did not expect that Shukaku, who had disappeared for so long, would take the initiative to communicate with him at this moment.

"Shukaku? How could it be you? Where's Rasa!?"

Gaara asked eagerly.

His intention in asking this question was quite clear: he wanted to find out why it wasn't Rasa himself who was currently controlling the consciousness of this body.

In fact, Rasa, who was hidden in Shukaku's body, had already been put into a deep sleep by the technique applied by Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The control of this body has completely fallen into Shukaku's hands.

Shukaku's mental state is unstable, sometimes lucid and sometimes manic.

There was no deep affection between it and Gaara. The reason it called out Gaara's name just now was merely a casual remark after comparing the two.

At this moment, facing Gaara's barrage of questions, Shukaku had absolutely no interest in responding.

Suddenly, it tilted its head back and let out a sharp, piercing laugh, followed by a fierce attack without warning.

In an instant, Shukaku suddenly swung its arm upwards, and a massive amount of sand seemed to be drawn together by some mysterious force.

A dense, overwhelming barrage of bullets formed, like a surging torrent, rushing straight towards Gaara.

Gaara remained calm upon seeing this. He quickly raised his hands, and at the same time, the giant sand gourd on his back suddenly spewed out countless thick columns of sand.

These sand pillars intertwined and merged in front of Gaara with lightning speed, forming an indestructible sand wall in the blink of an eye, firmly blocking Shukaku's fierce attack.

After exchanging a knowing glance with Kimimaro, Haku and Kimimaro leaped away from the sand mat without hesitation.

The speed difference between one person standing on it and three people standing on it is not insignificant.

Gaara gave the two of them a look, indicating that he could handle it himself.

Clearly, neither Kimimaro nor Haku would find it particularly difficult to deal with the thick-skinned Shukaku before them.

Gaara, on the other hand, is different. He stands on sand, which allows him to both attack and defend. In addition, his thorough understanding of Shukaku's attack methods ensures his safety.

Of course, there was another important reason besides that—he was eager to take this opportunity to prove his abilities.

Kimimaro and Haku flashed to the side, quietly supporting and cheering for Gaara.

However, they did not remain idle. Instead, they quickly adjusted their state and accelerated the absorption of the surrounding natural energy to prepare for any unexpected situations that might arise.

After successfully withstanding Shukaku's first fierce attack, Gaara shot forward like an arrow, hurtling towards Shukaku's massive head with lightning speed across the sand.

Shukaku's body has become so enormous that the only way to effectively strike it is to get close.

"Hehehe! You ignorant little fly, die!"

Shukaku opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar, the rolling sound waves sweeping towards Gaara with overwhelming force.

The massive and imposing Shukaku raised its incredibly sharp claws high, then swung them forcefully, slamming them hard onto its round belly.

At the same time, a furious roar erupted from its mouth:

"Practice with blank rounds!"

In an instant, an extremely strong wind pressure rapidly gathered and condensed into a huge air cannonball, which was ejected from Shukaku's mouth!

Despite the overwhelming attack, Gaara remained completely calm and composed.

He instantly lifted his body upwards, making him soar as lightly as a bird.

Gaara narrowly escaped the air cannon fired by Shukaku.

The incredibly powerful air cannon actually plowed a deep trench into the ground, and rows of houses along the way collapsed and crumbled as if they were made of paper.

The scene was a complete mess, as if it had just been ravaged by a super typhoon, with all the objects being swept up by the powerful air currents and flying around in the air.

This is a powerful attack launched by Shukaku, which is a full fifty meters tall!

For ordinary humans, even just experiencing a slight aftershock of this training missile would be difficult to withstand.

Fortunately, Gaara was not unprepared for this; he had certain strategies and confidence in dealing with it.

Suddenly, the giant gourd that Gaara was carrying on his back exploded.

Countless grains of sand, specially treated for reinforcement, surged forth like a burst dam, hurtling off in all directions with lightning speed.
