The night after the reinforcements were ready and set off, Irene, who was out, also brought back a reply.

Irene went to deliver a letter to Xie.Scorpion had left the Twilight organization. Harry did not expect to get any relevant information about the enemy camp from him. He only asked him to pay more attention to the movements of Konoha's reinforcements and help if necessary.

Scorpio is not a helpful person, but he will return a favor when he accepts it. When Harry asked for help, he generously made a promise: "I know, I will try my best to respond." 】

Harry had been worried for a day and finally felt a little relieved.

Due to political factors between the major powers and the delay in information transmission, when Konoha received Sunagakure's letter asking for help, it was more than a day after Gaara, the first jinchūriki, was taken away.

In addition to the time for the formation of the reinforcement team, going to the border to pick up Naruto, reconciling with the people sent by the sand hidden side, resting and deploying, and maybe a little diplomatic words and small information exchange meetings, etc., when the real pursuit begins, Another day and a half passed.

It took a full three days to prepare. As long as the enemy didn't lie on the ground and squirm, he would have disappeared early in the morning.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. Gaara did not lose consciousness when he was taken away, and there was a bit of false surrender mixed with the fact that he was captured without a fight. After the enemy took him more than ten kilometers away, he should not be able to turn around and go back to find him. When the Sunagakure ninjas were in trouble, he stopped acting and broke free to fight with the enemies.

Although the enemy is suppressed in terms of numbers and strength, and Gaara's chakra is also limited, the tailed beasts and jinchūriki share the same destiny. As long as the enemy does not want to spend months or even years waiting for the One-Tail to be refreshed and resurrected, they cannot Kill Gaara.

Coupled with the absolute defense of the protective sand, it would be very difficult to seriously injure Gaara and completely lose his ability to resist.

Therefore, in the past three days, the two sides repeated the cycle of 'fight → Gaara was exhausted → the enemy took the unconscious prisoner for a while → Gaara recovered → fight', which took a lot of time. There were also obvious traces of the battle.

The joint rescue teams of Konoha and Sunagakure were able to follow the trail.

However, alas, all the good luck ended there.

The enemy seized the opportunity, and even if there were delays along the way, the progress of the march was still far ahead.

The rescue team chased him day and night for almost two days, but finally arrived a step too late. The advance team at the forefront looked up and saw the tailed beast seal on Gaara being released.

The out-of-control tail roared and showed its prototype. The huge body and the powerful and brutal Chakra surprised everyone.

Human beings had different thoughts, and no one noticed that the first reaction after the first tail came out was to lower their heads to look for the jinchūriki who was dying due to the tailed beast being separated from the body.

"Kid! How did you..." Before Ichibi could even finish his panicked question, there was a flash of light under his feet, and an invisible barrier opened, with an absolute power that even the tailed beast could not resist, greatly restricting it. its actions.

One tail struggled hard and roared angrily: "Damn it! Let me go—!"

Of course, the traitorous ninja who were ordered to capture the tailed beast would not let it go as they were told, and quickly dispersed. The two of them stayed by the barrier, while the remaining few turned back to block the pursuing Suna ninja and Konoha ninja.

The rescue team set up a formation according to the previously discussed tactics. The large force was responsible for containing the enemy's firepower, while a small team covered the medical ninjas to rescue Gaara.

Asuma sent an order through the radio to Neji, who was hiding in the woods at the far end. Neji responded and took the time to shoot cold arrows while consciously moving in the direction of Ichibi.

After getting close to the shooting range, he turned the arrow, aimed at Yiwei's feet, calculated the distance, and started shooting explosive arrows.

Both the formation and the barrier have a fatal weakness, that is, the formation runes and barrier pillars cannot be disturbed or destroyed. The rebel ninjas prepared the site in advance and buried the barrier pillars underground in advance. The locations are unknown and protected by others. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to dig and find it by manpower alone.

But a range-wide AOE such as an explosion is different. A round of indiscriminate bombing, whether you are a human, a formation rune, or a barrier pillar, all have to be sublimated under high temperatures.

Explosive flow is a top-level tactic that is invincible and unreasonable. The reason why it is not widely used is because the disadvantages are also obvious - there is no friendly force judgment, and it is easy to accidentally injure teammates or even yourself.

In this regard, the little madman Deidara, who used explosions as his main means of attack, chose to abandon his teammates and rely on long-range detonations to avoid damage.Neji couldn't abandon his teammates, and the explosive arrow's instant attribute, which was specially designed to explode on hit to prevent the enemy from drawing an arrow to counterattack, could not support his remote detonation, so he could only take the wrong direction and use anticipation and precise calculations to avoid collateral damage.

The white eyes of the Hyuga clan became the most useful support in this situation. The high-precision sights that come with it are invincible when paired with long-range weapons. Every explosive arrow shot by Neji can control the landing point and score exactly. , the explosion range is also very precise, just stuck on the edge of the battlefield where friendly forces and enemies are fighting.

Although it slightly affected Ichibi's toes...but Ichibi is not (at least not for the time being) an ally!

Yiwei didn't mind this little accidental injury too much. Taking advantage of the fact that the pillar supporting the barrier was damaged in the explosion and the pressure on his body was slightly loosened, he struggled with all his might.

It first sent out a wind escape and training empty bullet to knock two enemies around it into the air, then opened its mouth to store a tailed beast jade, which hit its feet, and continued to destroy the buried enchantment pillars, forcing an enemy to leave the battle and return to defense .

The medical team, which took advantage of the chaos to pack Gaara away and then retreated to a distance for examination and treatment, had a small commotion at this time.

The captain of the medical team said anxiously: "...No, my breathing and heartbeat have stopped! Get out of the way! Lay him down, and I'll do first aid!"

Naruto, who was accompanying them to protect them, shouted in his distinctive loud voice: "He is Jinchuriki, and the tailed beast will definitely die if it is separated from the body! The tailed beast must be sealed back into his body as soon as possible, I say!"

His voice exploded like thunder over the battlefield, overwhelming the crowd: "I know how to seal! But I have never done it myself, and I am not very skilled. I need to trouble the seniors to help control the first tail and give me more time and space. ——”

Minato considered various emergencies to the maximum extent when arranging manpower. The reinforcement team was also equipped with a tailed beast emergency response team, consisting of two Uchihas with Sharingan eyes and two members of the sealing squad who were responsible for suppressing the tailed beasts with spells. constitute.

Asma, the team leader, quickly adjusted his formation to try to get as much space as possible for the four players.

The total number of enemies was actually not many, but only eight, three of whom were guarding the first one, and only five participated in the battle. Their condition was also damaged by traveling all night and Gaara's resistance.Looking at the number of people alone, the rescue team composed of twenty Konoha ninjas and four Sunagakure ninjas should not be defeated no matter what.

But in fact, it just can't be beaten.

Among the Konoha ninjas, there are four logistics medical ninjas who give priority to avoiding combat in non-extreme situations. Naruto and a Suna ninja are guarding them.Among the remaining combatants, most were chuunin. There were only three jounin, Asuma, Neji and a sand ninja. Ningci mainly used long-range assistance, and the sand ninja's jonin mainly used wind escape. Poison, its performance is very limited.

And the enemies are all traitorous ninjas with jounin level. Just relying on their strength to suppress them, one person can take on four or five people.

Originally, the rescue team could barely draw a tie based on tactics and cooperation, but they had to recruit four more people to take care of the first tail. As soon as their combat power was reduced, they were immediately at a disadvantage.

The tailed beast emergency response team had just withdrawn, and when they were halfway to the first tail, they had to rejoin the battle.

At this moment, one tail suddenly got into trouble, slammed into it, broke out of the barrier by the inertia brought by gravity, flicked the tail and swept away the approaching enemies, covered with sand and dust, like a sandstorm that condensed into a solid mass, Rumble towards the medical team's position.

The medical team instinctively wanted to run, but the team leader was still giving Gaara CPR and artificial respiration. The distance of human feet was far inferior to that of the tailed beasts. They could only watch as one tailed beast quickly covered a distance of hundreds of meters in a few seconds. , rushed to them.

The extremely dangerous chakra pressed forward, and several people were unable to move for a moment. Only Naruto, who was born in the womb of the Jinchuuriki's mother and was naturally immune to the pressure brought by the tailed beast chakra, stepped forward with the Rasengan in his hand and walked forward without hesitation. Screaming: "Stop! I will never let you hurt them, I say!"

Ichibi didn't talk nonsense to him, raised his paw high and patted it down.

Naruto spoke bravely. After all, he had never actually fought a tailed beast. When the huge claws were about to hit his face with the sound of wind, he couldn't help but shrink back.

"Ha! Coward!" Ichibi mocked mercilessly, "I knew you didn't dare to pick me up!"

Naruto was so perceptive that even if there was no tenderness or kindness in Ichibi's tone, he could detect that the other party did not mean any harm.

He stood up straight and not only did not press his bitten finger to the ground, but also pinched off the original Rasengan.

Under the confused gazes of the medical ninjas, he raised his head and asked Ichibi: "Are you willing to cooperate with my seal?"

Ichibi yelled angrily: "Bah! How unreasonable! Ridiculous! Lord Shukaku, how could I be willing to be a slave of a lowly human being?!"

But it neither ran away nor continued to attack. It just grinned fiercely and made no noise.

Naruto got the answer, smiled brightly, and said loudly: "Your name is Shukaku? Shukaku, I want to thank you on behalf of Gaara! Then please don't move, don't leave the range of the formation..."

He raised his hand to separate several shadow clones|bodies, and raced against time to draw the formation runes needed to seal the tailed beast around the tail.

The three enemies guarding Ichibi chased after him. The free medical ninja and the sand ninja stepped forward to block him. Ichibi also used small-scale blanking rounds to take the time to fire cold guns to prevent the enemies from hindering the casting of spells.

With the full assistance and cooperation from many parties, Naruto and Naruto's shadow clones were very confident and completed the preparations as quickly as possible. Together with the medical captain, they carried Gaara to the altar of the formation. move.

"Hold on, Gaara!" Naruto murmured, opening his palm with a kunai, using the purest blood as a guide, injecting the power hidden in the bloodline of the Uzumaki descendants into the sealing formation, and completing the final step along the way. runes.

He used too much force in his desperation, and the extra blood dripped down his arm, but he didn't bother to bandage it first. He concentrated on recalling the knowledge he learned from his parents and raised his hand to form a seal.

Before the last seal was completed, an invisible force came from nowhere, dragging him out diagonally with an arrogant momentum that could not be resisted.
