Chapter 155 A Robbery on the Way
Shukaku is so large that it can be spotted from a great distance when it walks on the road.
However, faced with such a behemoth, it's unlikely that anyone would be so impulsive as to jump out and "act as a hero," and most would simply run away at a distance.
So An wasn't worried about safety on the road, and even got a deck chair to put on Shukaku's head so he could lie on it and take a nap.
Meanwhile, in the forest not far ahead, the four members of the Takumi Ninja Village were observing him with serious expressions.
"I thought it was a Jinch??riki, but it really is a Tailed Beast. This is troublesome. Jinch??riki are small, so they can be easily restrained and have their chakra absorbed, but this Tailed Beast is so big???" The tall Green Tiger scratched his head as he looked at the mountain-like Shukaku in the distance.
"If a Jinch??riki is traveling, he will at least have companions to protect him, so it won't be easy to take him down. Although the Tailed Beasts are huge, they are still just beasts and don't have much intelligence. There are always ways to deal with them." The short and young Ry??gan played with the retractable sword in his hand. The azure blade seemed to have a life of its own as it rubbed against his hand.
"Luring the Tailed Beast into the encirclement isn't difficult; the real challenge is that Uchiha An above his head." Kame-ki put down his monocular binoculars, turned to look at Peacock behind him, and asked, "Have you managed to get the intelligence from the Gold Exchange?"
The peacock shook its head helplessly.
"The intelligence only says that he knows Susanoo and Wood Release, and the more specific information is very broad. The underground intelligence organization doesn't have much detailed information either."
"Currently, all we know is that Susanoo is an energy giant with an all-around defense; ordinary attacks simply cannot break through its defenses. Susanoo's attacks are also extremely powerful, comparable to a humanoid tailed beast."
"And the Wood Release is even more exaggerated, saying that the First Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, relied on his bloodline limit, which was the key to establishing the ninja village system. He said that he could fight against a country by himself and could easily destroy a village."
"Hmph!" Turtle Demon curled his lip in disdain and said dismissively, "The progenitor of the Seimei clan was also from that era, and must have fought against Hashirama Senju."
"The fact that Konoha failed to annex Takumi Village shows that the so-called Hashirama Senju is nothing special, and at least he couldn't possibly be stronger than our progenitor, Seimei."
"We'll find a way to separate the two of them. We just need to stall Uchiha An for a while."
"As long as we obtain the chakra of the tailed beasts and revive the progenitor of the Seimei clan, we can easily defeat this so-called Uchiha An."
"I'll go!" Cuihu volunteered. "Since that Susanoo is an energy giant, my Infinite Hole Armor should be able to absorb it completely, which would be perfect for countering him."
"I'll go with you." Peacock stepped forward as well. "My Wind Release technique is the easiest and quickest way to cut down trees, and it's perfect for countering Wood Release."
"Very good!" Turtle Demon nodded in satisfaction. "The two of you working together are just right to hold off Uchiha An."
"While Dragon Eyes lures the One-Tailed Beast to a suitable location, I will activate the Ninja Tool Barrier: Reverse Scale Formation," gathering chakra to strike the water veins and summon a giant water dragon to subdue the One-Tailed Beast.
"Sand becomes extremely heavy when it gets wet, which greatly weakens the One-Tail's power, allowing me to activate the Shrike" to revive the Seimei Ancestor.
"Once our ancestor is resurrected, what Uchiha An is nothing but a chicken and a dog, easily destroyed."
After everyone finished discussing the matter, they dispersed and began to act separately.

After surveying the terrain, the tortoise demon went off to find a place where the water veins converged to lay in ambush.
Longyan lurked in the forest, waiting for Uchiha An to start the battle before attacking the tailed beasts and luring One-Tailed Beast away.
After waiting for a while, Peacock and Green Tiger, when they estimated that the time was about right, launched the attack first.
She leaped from her hiding place, and while in mid-air, she crossed her two swords high and slashed at Uchiha An with all her might.
"Wind Release: Thousand Faces of Wind!"
I don't know what principle her ninja tools are made of. They don't require hand seals or preparation. As long as you input chakra, you can immediately cast ninjutsu, and the power is not weak.
As she attacked, thousands of whirlwind slashes emerged from the air, swirling and covering An's head, completely enveloping her from all sides without leaving any gaps.
Cuihu rushed out quickly, wearing a piece of armor shaped like a tiger's open mouth on his chest and carrying a long-handled meteor hammer. He charged upwards along Shukaku's tail, waiting for An to activate Susanoo so he could absorb its energy.
"Hmm... have we been robbed?"
An, still half asleep, sat up from the recliner, yawned, and felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. The recliner itself was then transported into the Divine Might Space.
We'll still need this recliner later, so we can't let it get damaged by wind magic.
Unlike Obito, who used the Kamui dimension for evasion and combat, An used the Kamui dimension more as a storage ring, storing a lot of miscellaneous things inside.
For example, the big tail that was cut off from Shukaku is still lying inside!
When An materialized again, the wind escape technique had already passed right through him. Cuihu pounced in front of him, snatched the meteor hammer from his hand, and smashed it down on his head.
"Ha, how naive."
With a casual wave of his hand, An created a massive energy arm out of thin air, which then descended, stirring up a violent current of air.
The heavy meteor hammer and the chakra hand touched lightly, and the meteor hammer was immediately sent flying like an egg hitting a stone.
With a swift downward scoop, he clenched his fist and grabbed the green tiger in his hand.
Cuihu, relying on the "Infinite Hole Armor" on his body which has the ability to absorb energy, was not surprised but delighted.
"Haha, I'm sucking???ah!"
Cuihu's maniacal laughter suddenly turned into a scream.
His armor's absorption speed couldn't keep up with Susanoo's recovery speed. Before he could drain Susanoo's giant hand, his body was crushed by the giant hand.
With a muffled "bang," blood, flesh, and bone fragments spurted out from between his fingers, shooting out like bullets and flying a long distance.
Susanoo opened its palm, and a sticky mixture of flesh and blood slowly slid down its finger bones. An looked at the mess of flesh and blood on it, and tossed it aside with disgust, leaving only the still pristine armor.
"This thing looks somewhat familiar." He scratched his head and looked up at the peacock in front of him.
Peacock was immediately alarmed and hurriedly raised her twin swords again, but before she could launch another attack, she felt a sudden fluctuation in the space around her, the air suddenly solidified, and her limbs began to stiffen.
A tremendous force suddenly surged forth, magnificent and overwhelming.
She was instantly thrown into a washing machine, squeezed and spun around, her bones and internal organs all kneaded into a ball.
When she was spat out again, this beautiful woman had turned into a puddle of flesh, lying flat on the ground.
Her jade-like arms still gripped the swords tightly as she plummeted from mid-air, the blades pointing downwards and plunging into the pool of flesh.
