Chapter 140

"Three clan heads, please wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Hashirama Senju's body vanished from right before their eyes.

"He... he just used a space-time ninjutsu, didn't he..."

Yamanaka Mai swallowed hard and said in disbelief.

Since when does Hashirama Senju have a space-time ninjutsu???

This was never recorded in any of the intelligence reports??

··········Begging for flowers··········

They realized,

Hashirama Senju simply has too many hidden cards!!!

Just based on that one move alone,

he had basically already put himself in an unbeatable position!!

When Tobirama Senju performs the Flying Thunder God Technique,

there are at least some signs they can observe.

But when Hashirama Senju uses the Flying Thunder God Technique,

they can't see any opening stance at all,

he just vanishes right before their eyes!!

……

"WTF??? Where am I??"

Shukaku, who had been in the middle of a dream,

suddenly found that he had inexplicably left the Senju clan's grounds.

He had suddenly been switched to a completely different place??

Looking at the Hashirama Senju before him.

Shukaku accepted this reality in his heart at once,

it must be that Hashirama Senju had used some unknown ability to bring him here.

Seeing the 'tanuki' in Hashirama Senju's hands,

the three clan heads exchanged a glance,

and they could all see the shock in each other's eyes!!

So this is the legendary Tailed Beast Shukaku?

Although Shukaku looked adorably naive and cute,

just like a tanuki,

they didn't dare show the slightest bit of contempt!!!

They could clearly sense

the immense chakra and the thick scent of blood on Shukaku's body!!!

"Alright, three clan heads, your opponent is it."

"If you can defeat Shukaku, then it won't be too late for me to personally face you."

Shukaku glanced contemptuously at the three clan heads.

These three rookies, they're worthy of fighting me?!

The three clan heads paid no heed to Shukaku's gaze,

upon hearing this,

they silently brought Hashirama Senju to the clan's training grounds.

By this point they no longer cared about what Hashirama Senju had said earlier,

after all, this was their first time seeing a legendary Tailed Beast!

They also wanted to know who would win and who would lose between themselves and this kind of demon!!!

……

"Shukaku, remember to spare their lives, don't go too hard..."

Hashirama Senju patted Shukaku on the head and whispered his reminder.

Shukaku showed a comfortable posture just like a little cat,

then restored his own form and looked at the three people standing opposite.

Looking at the massive Shukaku,

the expressions on the three men's faces gradually grew tense.

This... this doesn't seem quite right!!!

They only just realized,

their three great clans' secret techniques

had always been used against humans.

They had never been used against a massive creature like a Tailed Beast!!!!!

Looking at Shukaku's enormous body and the playful smirk on his face,

all three of them couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Mai, take the wind!!!"

"Let's stick to the old rules, I'll strike first, then you two move in!!!"

Nara Saki finished speaking and immediately formed hand seals with both hands.

"Ninja Art!!! Shadow Binding Technique!!!"

A massive shadow, blacker than black, appeared beneath his feet and surged toward Shukaku!!!

In that instant,

he went all out without holding back,

not the slightest hint of hesitation!!!

After all, this was his first time facing a creature like a Tailed Beast,

so he had no idea what would happen.

Therefore he had to go full throttle,

aiming to catch Shukaku off guard!!

Watching the enormous shadow beneath Nara Saki's feet,

Hashirama Senju nodded,

never expecting him to possess such boldness,

going full throttle against Shukaku right from the start!!!

And when Shukaku saw this scene,

he stood frozen on the spot, as if he hadn't reacted at all.

Seeing Shukaku's reaction,

Nara Saki's heart leaped with joy,

it seemed he hadn't guessed wrong!!!

A Tailed Beast with such an enormous body like Shukaku,

although it possessed a vast amount of chakra,

its body was surely clumsy and inflexible,

and faced with his Shadow Binding Technique,

it couldn't even dodge in time!!

"I've pinned him down — the rest is up to you two!!!"

Seeing that his shadow had already bound Shukaku,

Nara Saki hurriedly shouted to Yamana Mai and Akamichi Torifū behind him.

"Ninja Art: Mind Body Switch Technique!!!"

Yamana Mai also immediately unleashed her family's secret technique on Shukaku!!!

Feeling that Shukaku was completely unable to move at all,
