Chapter 269 Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, is almost drained dry.
As soon as Shukaku was freed from its seal, it saw several humans around it.
"Damn humans! Trying to seal me away again? Die!"
It then raised its enormous claws and slammed them down on Uchiha Zetsu, who was closest to it.
Kaguya Otsutsuki instantly activated her Byakugan, and the blood vessels around her eyes became clearly visible.
She parted her red lips slightly, her expression carrying an undeniable air of authority: "Eye roll - Intimidation."
She merely glared at him, and in an instant, an invisible pressure enveloped Ichibi Shukaku.
That was an absolute suppression originating from the depths of one's bloodline, like an ant facing the sky, like a young beast facing a fierce tiger.
Shukaku trembled, its giant claws frozen in mid-air.
The next second, its massive body crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud, its limbs pressed tightly against the scorching yellow sand, unable to move even a finger, and could only stare at Kaguya with eyes full of terror.
"What...what kind of power is this? Why do I feel fear to my very bones...who are you?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki remained silent and slowly walked up to Shukaku.
She raised her right hand, palm facing Shukaku's body.
An invisible suction force surged forth, and Shukaku immediately felt its chakra uncontrollably rushing towards the other party.
It struggled desperately, but was suppressed and could only watch helplessly as its chakra drained away.
"No! My chakra! You thief! Stop right now!"
It twisted its body desperately, trying to break free from the oppressive force of the white eyes. Its yellowish-brown fur became disheveled from the struggle, but it was pinned to the spot by that invisible pressure and could not move even the slightest bit.
Crimson chakra was continuously drawn from Shukaku's body, flowing into Kaguya's body like a stream flowing into the sea.
Feeling the rapid recovery of chakra within his body, the weakness he had felt for a thousand years gradually dissipated, and his body seemed to regain its vitality.
A red chakra cloak emanated from her body, the fluctuations growing stronger and stronger. Even the surrounding yellow sand was stirred by the invisible chakra, forming ripples.
Uchiha Zetsu stood to the right of the three Uchiha peaks, his little face full of surprise: "Daddy, Mommy's chakra is so strong... but the One-Tail... seems to be almost drained."
She pointed at Shukaku, whose size was shrinking at a visible rate. Its once plump and round body was gradually becoming shriveled.
Its tan fur had lost its former luster and hung limply over its body.
It looked just like dried straw, its breath becoming weak, only occasionally letting out a few faint groans.
Shukaku looked at itself, its belly so thin it was just skin and bones.
His eyes were filled with despair, all his previous arrogance gone: "Please, let me go... If you keep inhaling... I'm really going to die... I promise I'll never cause trouble again, please let me go!"
Tears streamed down its face. Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast that once stirred up countless storms in the ninja world, was now in such a sorry state.
Uchiha Mitsunori noticed that Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was in a near-death state, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He knew he couldn't let Kaguya absorb any more chakra, so he stepped forward and gently pressed down on her shoulder: "Kaguya, that's enough. Leave some chakra for it."
Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her eyes, a hint of lingering satisfaction flashing in them, as the suction force in her palm gradually dissipated.
She slowly withdrew her right hand, and the deep red chakra threads disappeared as well.
At this moment, her aura was stronger than before, her eyes shone with a bright light, and the weariness of a thousand years was swept away.
"Little raccoon, you're lucky. If it weren't for Sanfeng stopping you, you would definitely be dead today."
Shukaku lay on the ground, panting heavily, its chest heaving violently, too weak to even refute.
He could only secretly watch Kaguya with resentful eyes, but dared not make the slightest move.
It knew that it was no match for the woman in front of it, and that if it was not careful, it would disappear from the world completely.
Uchiha Mitsunori walked up to Shukaku, a pale green chakra emanating from his fingertips.
He gently tapped Shukaku's forehead, his voice calm: "Illusion Technique - Memory Erasure."
Pale blue chakra slowly seeped into Shukaku's forehead, and Shukaku's eyes gradually became unfocused, as the fear and despair he had felt earlier gradually disappeared.
Erase its memory of what just happened to prevent it from revealing the anomaly to Gaara after waking up, thus disrupting the subsequent plans.
After doing all this, Mitsunori walked up to Gaara, squatted down, and placed his hand on Gaara's stomach.
The black sealing technique was pressed onto Gaara's stomach.
Under the pull of the sealing technique, Shukaku let out a weak wail, trying to struggle and resist, but because of the excessive consumption of chakra, it became difficult to even mobilize a trace of chakra.
It could only be forcibly stuffed into the sealed space within Gaara's body by that invisible force.
As the seal ended, the red light around Gaara gradually dissipated, his breathing became steady, and some color returned to his pale face.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood up and turned to look at Karura.
She remained unconscious, lying on the sand, her brow furrowed, as if having a bad dream.
Uchiha Mitsumine raised his hands and formed a hand seal: "Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The next second, Karura and Gaara returned to their home in Sunagakure.
The yellow sand gradually subsided, and the surroundings returned to their previous tranquility, as if the fierce battle had never happened.
Uchiha Mitsunori walked to Kaguya's side, looking at the chakra cloak still clinging to her body, and asked with a smile, "Kaguya, how are you feeling?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki stretched her body, feeling the surging chakra within her: "The One-Tailed Chakra is too little, only about half of it has been restored. It would be faster to cultivate with you a few more times."
After she finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced in the direction where Shukaku had disappeared, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
Actually, she wanted to take the One-Tailed Beast back with her and extract some of its chakra from it regularly.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori paused for a moment, then smiled: "I'm going to collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts to help you activate... the Rinne Sharingan..."
Upon hearing the words "Rinne Sharingan," Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she nodded slightly.
If she can be successfully activated, she will be able to return to her true peak condition.
"Next, we'll go to the Land of Lightning. In the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, there are the Two-Tails Matatabi and the Eight-Tails Gyūki. We can collect their chakra together, and I'll also show you and Zetsu the Land of Lightning's unique thunderstorm landscape. It can be considered the second stop on our honeymoon trip."
Uchiha Mitsunori raised his hand, and the pale golden spatial vortex reappeared in front of the three of them.
Within the vortex, one could vaguely see the scene of thunder and rain in the Land of Lightning.
