Chapter 275

After all, these Hollows were opponents that even the Eight-Tails couldn't handle!

The Third Kazekage, however, did not hesitate at all; he had some confidence in Bunpuku's strength.

This master was a perfect Jinchuriki who could gain Shukaku's recognition and use Shukaku's power!

"Let's go, Hokage; there is more than one Espada that needs to be dealt with!"

The Third Kazekage's expression was slightly cold, and his gaze turned toward Ulquiorra in the distance.

He had been annoyed with Ulquiorra for a long time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also followed the Third Kazekage's gaze.

When he saw Ulquiorra, he understood the Third Kazekage's thoughts.

He sighed helplessly.

The Third Kazekage was still unwilling to let it go.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that the Third Kazekage was no match for Ulquiorra at all!

Even if he faced Ulquiorra alone, he might not be his match.

His eyes flickered slightly.

He recalled the terror Ulquiorra had brought him on the day of the Three Kage Summit.

When Ulquiorra touched his chest and head, combined with the things he said,

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if his head and chest were truly being torn apart.

It left a very deep impression on him.

At the same time, it made him understand Ulquiorra's strength.

Since that was the case.

Then let the One-Tail Jinchuriki handle this place.

Compared to this guy whose strength was unclear, the threat of that Ulquiorra in the distance was greater.

Moreover, the Land of Lightning had already shared the intelligence regarding Ulquiorra with the Ninja Alliance.

If that black flash that had destroyed the Land of Lightning were unleashed here, the losses of the Ninja Alliance would likely be even greater than the previous attack!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a grave expression, "Alright, then let's go and deal with Ulquiorra first!"

He had no intention of letting the Third Kazekage fight alone.

One-on-one, neither of them could be Ulquiorra's match.

So they had to cooperate.

The Third Kazekage clearly understood this principle as well.

Although he wished he could kill Ulquiorra immediately.

He was also very clear about the gap between the two of them.

This was also his purpose in calling Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After the two made their decision, they immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and left this place.

Leaving the battlefield entirely to Tia Harribel and Bunpuku.

Neither Tia Harribel nor Bunpuku paid any attention to the Third Kazekage and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They were only observing each other.

Based on Tia Harribel's probing attack just now, she already knew a little about Bunpuku's ability.

"Sand, is it..."

Tia Harribel murmured softly.

Unlike the others here, when using this kind of power, this guy in front of her didn't seem to need to weave hand seals.

Tia Harribel's emerald-green pupils flickered slightly.

Her gaze was deep, as if she could see another guy inside Bunpuku's body through his body.

That was an inner world that looked like a sewer.

In that world, there was a raccoon dog lying down, covered in cursed seal patterns?

Shukaku, who was dozing, felt the prying gaze and instantly opened its eyes.

Its eyes rolled around, meeting Tia Harribel's emerald-green eyes.

Shukaku's eyes widened, seemingly finding it somewhat incredible.

"This woman can actually see me?!"

Shukaku's voice reached Bunpuku's mind, causing him to be slightly stunned.

Tia Harribel said calmly, "So that's how it is; it seems your power comes from that big raccoon dog inside you."

Bunpuku: "..."

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to explain something.

Before he could make a sound, the sand behind him instantly condensed, forming Shukaku's appearance.

A '#' symbol appeared figuratively on Shukaku's face, and it roared, "Not a raccoon dog, it's a raccoon!"

Tia Harribel was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion, "... Is there any difference?"

"Of course there's a difference!"

Shukaku said in a fit of pique, "Raccoon dogs are felines, raccoons are canines!"

Tia Harribel: "... Forget it, it doesn't matter what it is."

"!"

Shukaku's eyes widened.

This woman is so annoying!

"Bunpuku, I'm going to slaughter this woman!"

Bunpuku shook his head helplessly, then put his hands together and said, "Please be careful, benefactor."

As his voice fell, Bunpuku launched an attack first.

"Sand Rain!"

The sand instantly concentrated above Tia Harribel, then fell straight down like raindrops.

Tia Harribel twisted her body slightly, dodging the falling sand one by one with an imperceptible range of motion, landing at her feet.

But before she could counterattack, the sand at her feet seemed to come alive, wrapping around her feet and binding her to the spot!

Bunpuku's eyes were calm; he didn't let this opportunity pass and launched another attack.

Sand Shuriken formed in the air, controlled by Bunpuku's Chakra, and shot toward Tia Harribel.

Tia Harribel's expression was calm, without any panic from being bound.

She raised the sword in her hand and knocked down the incoming Sand Shuriken one by one.

Shukaku said unhappily, "Too soft, Bunpuku; give her a ruthless move!"

"Alright, alright, alright."

Bunpuku smiled helplessly, then let out a low shout: "Sand Binding Coffin!"

The sand near Tia Harribel surged instantly, quickly crawling toward her!

Tia Harribel was expressionless; before the sand had completely reached her body, she exerted force with her feet.

With a bang.

The sand binding Tia Harribel's feet was instantly shattered by her strength!

Bunpuku's eyelids drooped.

"What terrifying strength!"

She broke free from his sand binding using only physical strength.

A glimpse of the whole.

If this kick landed on him, he would likely be going to see the Six Paths Sage.

After all, he was already old and frail, and his fragile body could no longer withstand such strong power.

Of course, with Shukaku there, it was estimated that no one would be able to touch him.

"That's for sure!"

Shukaku understood Bunpuku's thoughts and replied in a haughty manner.

Bunpuku smiled in his heart.

His bond with Shukaku was enough to deal with everything!

Just at this moment, Tia Harribel, who had broken free from the sand binding, moved away from the range of the sand.
