As the shadow-stealth technique moved rapidly, Rengoku, bringing Kushina, quickly appeared within the Uchiha clan grounds.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi were constantly drawing Shukaku's fire.
Shukaku's intelligence was not high, and before completely breaking free of the seal, he was in an extremely manic state.
The two Mangekyo Sharingan, though seemingly extremely dangerous, actually moved as if walking on flat ground.
The clone from Naruto's side and the clone on this side exchanged a glance.
Then charged toward Shukaku together.
The clone leapt into the air, and an enormous chakra burst forth from its body.
Several chakra chains exploded out from Rengoku's body in an instant.
'Adamantine Sealing Chains?'
Kushina's face showed great shock, 'Why does Rengoku know the Uzumaki clan's secret technique?'
The chains, as if possessing a will of their own, wrapped around Shukaku continuously.
Then suddenly tightened hard.
Even the Nine-Tails had been bound by the adamantine sealing chains, so when used against Shukaku, the restriction worked even better.
Shukaku could only let out a miserable howl, directly pulled down to the ground.
But Rengoku's face turned pale from the drain of the adamantine chains. Without the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, using this sealing technique cost double.
Moreover, he was a shadow clone, and couldn't last long.
"Fugaku! Pull the jinchuriki out!"
Upon hearing Rengoku's command, Fugaku did not hesitate and immediately moved.
Chakra on his body suddenly surged, and Susanoo evolved from skeletal form into a fleshed form.
With a grip of Susanoo's hand, the purple-black Yasaka Magatama shot straight toward Shukaku.
With a booming sound, a large hole was blown open on Shukaku's stomach.
With a wave of Itachi's Susanoo hand, Gaara was directly pulled out.
But sand was continuously surging from Gaara's body, connecting to the giant sand-form of Shukaku outside.
At this time, Kushina, controlling Rengoku's clone, had already finished forming hand seals, then leapt up and slapped Gaara's abdomen.
Gaara's clothes shattered instantly.
Szzzzz…
Enormous force directly slammed Gaara onto the ground, and a Four Symbols Seal appeared on his abdomen.
Kushina locked onto the Four Symbols Seal, twisted her hand backward.
The leaking chakra from Gaara's body rapidly decreased.
Shukaku let out a heart-wrenching roar:
"WHY… WHY! THIS LORD DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK!"
"NO!"
"NOOOOO!"
Although Shukaku was extremely unwilling, screaming in madness, his voice quickly diminished until it disappeared completely.
The sand connected to Gaara's body collapsed rapidly.

[Elsewhere, Sunagakure]
The Suna sealing team who had been remotely unsealing were shocked, "Kazekage-sama, Shukaku was sealed!"
Rasa was also a bit surprised, "Uchiha's eye power shouldn't be able to suppress Gaara in this state."
The sealing team explained, "It wasn't Mangekyo suppression. Uchiha has someone skilled in sealing techniques."
With a gloomy face, Rasa snorted, "Detonate the seal."
Upon hearing Rasa's words, the sealing team dared not speak. They knew Rasa's words were absolute.
They hurried forward to operate. Although detonating the seal would kill the jinchuriki, Rasa didn't care about this son anyway.
However, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. To kill even his own son so casually, Rasa truly had no humanity.
The sealing team continuously formed hand seals, countless rune talismans flying into the central teacup.
The Shukaku chakra within the teacup burst forth like fireworks and exploded violently.
Blasting the entire sealing team to the ground.
Everyone's heart sank, and all eyes turned to the captain, Seiji.
Seiji narrowed his eyes, "Kazekage-sama, we've already detonated the seal. Now the jinchuriki and Shukaku are both dead."
Upon hearing this, Rasa nodded. This was also the source of his confidence in sending Shukaku out.
"Men."
"To those previously sent to assist Pakura, issue an order: Pakura lost the jinchuriki, causing the jinchuriki's death. The village suffered great losses."
"Immediately capture Pakura and her people. If they resist, kill without mercy."
"Yes, Kazekage-sama."
Rasa finally revealed his true intentions.
Pakura had gained too much prestige during the Third Ninja War, seriously affecting his position.
He hadn't killed her before, but now she had fully sided with the elders. She had become a thorn in his side.
This time, he both eliminated an uncontrollable jinchuriki and could eliminate Pakura, killing two birds with one stone and solidifying his regime.
All his hard efforts to mine gold were, after all, to subsidize the village's finances.
Those damned elders were always holding him back.
Gaara was also a failed product, no berserk episodes during his infancy, but constantly rampaging now.
Causing huge financial burdens for the village.
After issuing commands to the Anbu, Rasa finally turned to the sealing team and ordered:
"Go work with the barrier team to set up a large-scale barrier. If Shukaku revives, seal it immediately."
The sealing team captain Seiji bowed and responded:
"Please rest assured, Kazekage-sama. With the teacup, we can locate Shukaku's rebirth as fast as possible."
Rasa left satisfied.
The sealing team stood motionless, exchanging strange glances.
Seiji signaled with his eyes to the outermost member.
That member formed a hand seal, and then a faint translucent light shimmered out.
He whispered, "They've left."
Seiji waved his hand, "Quick, take the teacup. We're going to find Elder Chiyo."
Everyone quickly packed up, taking the teacup and following Seiji out.
Rasa had just killed his own son, it showed how cold-blooded and heartless he was.
Even though they'd detonated the seal, Gaara wasn't dead. Would Rasa let them off?
These sealing team members were long-time comrades. If they died in battle, so be it.
But dying here would be too tragic.
While others were still shocked, Seiji had already made the right decision.
Later, when Rasa blamed Pakura, it only confirmed Seiji's decision even more.

[Uchiha Clan Grounds]
Just as Gaara calmed down, the original seal on his body began to burn.
Rengoku's theoretical knowledge of sealing techniques was also extremely solid.
He had already seen through it, the enemy intended to detonate this seal.
This Rasa really was a beast, he never intended for Gaara to return alive in the first place.
At this time, Kushina said to Rengoku, "I'm out of chakra now. I can't manage another Four Symbols Seal."
Rengoku shook his head, "Sealing the tailed beast with the Four Symbols Seal is fine. I don't have a problem with sealing chakra."
Flames rose in his hand, and he slapped it onto Gaara's chest.
A cross-shaped fiery ring appeared on Gaara's body, then affixed to his skin.
Two dark-red flame marks immediately appeared on Gaara's body.
The boiling chakra within him rapidly calmed down.
The original seals on his body turned to ash and drifted into the air.
