From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 347: Konoha's collapse plan is launched, and Shukaku is forcibly captured.

"That guy is a genius." Bane added without considering Jiraiya's complicated feelings.

Speaking of this, Jiraiya finally put away his emotions, smiled and said: "To be praised by Ling Zun like this, he must be really good."

Kakashi on the side was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "But his performance is the last in this session."

"He possesses too much power and cannot control himself, so his performance in public is very mediocre. It is a real waste of him to regard him as a Jinchūriki." Bane responded very calmly.

"You mean, the power of the tailed beast affected him?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"That's right." Bane nodded.

After a short pause, Bann smiled evilly and said deliberately, "Why not let me take out the tailed beast in his body and let this gem shine with its original brilliance."

In Bane's opinion, the Nine-Tailed Fox both made Uzumaki Naruto successful and also dragged him down.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, although he is not a pure blood, he is born with a huge amount of chakra. The Nine-Tails did not help him much in the early stage, but rather hindered him and made it difficult for him to grow.

After he mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra and it no longer interfered with his body, Uzumaki Naruto's talent was immediately revealed.

That is, he can learn whatever you teach him, and learn it very quickly!

From summoning techniques to fairy techniques, he can master almost everything at once, and can even create new ninjutsu based on his own ideas. How can this be the performance of a last-place student?
Therefore, Bane has always believed that if we only look at the Nine-Tails and Uzumaki Naruto, it is definitely Uzumaki Naruto who made the Nine-Tails what it is, rather than the Nine-Tails making Uzumaki Naruto what it is.

Jiraiya and Kakashi's expressions changed when they heard what Ban said. Jiraiya immediately said, "Spiritual Master, the tailed beasts are extremely important and represent the peace of the ninja world. Please don't mess around."

"You ninjas are really ridiculous. You keep talking about peace and pinning your hopes on the so-called tailed beasts. It's really hard to describe. With this mentality, you will suffer losses sooner or later in this kind of thing," Bane commented with disdain, but didn't say anything else.

The tailed beasts possess an almost infinite amount of terrifyingly huge chakra as energy, and they might be a good material for building a gate.

Without staying too long on Uzumaki Naruto, Bane's attention soon shifted to another protagonist.

Sasuke Uchiha.

This guy stood with Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura. At such a young age, he had already learned the essence of being cool. To describe him in one word, it was like that year when I put my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.

With an aloof expression as if he didn't like anyone, he calmly watched the fight between the noobs on the field.

"That kid has the aura of Orochimaru on him," Bane said with a smile.

"A few days ago in the Forest of Death, Orochimaru left a very unique curse mark on him. It seems to be an evil force." Kakashi said with a very calm expression, but with a little worry in his eyes.

Jiraiya didn't seem to notice anything. Seeing this, Ban said calmly, "It's natural energy, but once used, it will be a little violent. It's a self-transformation of Orochimaru's fairy technique."

"Natural energy?" Jiraiya finally reacted and looked at Uchiha Sasuke seriously. After a moment, he said, "I see, Spirit Master, can you help me?"

But before he could finish his words, Ben looked at him with a strange look and asked, "What help do you want? What sacrifice do you want to give me?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's mouth twitched twice, and then he said: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Hehe." Bane smiled, and then said: "He is also a genius, a true genius. No wonder Orochimaru would set his sights on him. Even I am a little tempted."

Jiraiya's expression brightened with excitement when he heard this and asked, "Is the Spiritual Master interested in these talented little guys? Are you planning to take them as disciples?"

Having seen Bane's strength, Konoha attaches great importance to Bane. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is very worried that because of the Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru will borrow the power of this spiritual master to cause trouble.

But if Ling Zun accepted someone from Konoha as his apprentice, then the relationship would be interesting. No matter what, Ling Zun would give Konoha some face, right?

"I do have some interest, but among your Konoha, these two are the only little guys that interest me." Bane waved his hand.

Jiraiya heard this and was about to say something else.

Then Ben suddenly turned his gaze towards the wall of the hall in the distance, which made Jiraiya a little confused.

"Here it comes." Bane said softly.

"What's coming!?" Jiraiya asked in confusion.

But the next second, there was a sudden roar of explosion and the sound of building collapse outside the hall. Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed, as if he had realized something, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Orochimaru!"

Without saying anything more, Jiraiya disappeared from the spot.

And at the moment Jiraiya disappeared, Maki, the elite jonin of the Sand Village, suddenly attacked from the other side and directly ambushed Kakashi.

Kakashi's reaction speed was still very fast. He dodged Maki's wind escape with a flash technique and kept his distance while shouting, "Watch out for the Sand Village!"

However, it seemed that what he said was a little late. Gaara, who had been suppressing the murderous intent in his heart for a long time, started to go berserk the moment Maki made his move. The violent force from Shukaku swept the entire place. Perhaps it was because Shukaku was unhappy with the Nine-Tails, or perhaps for some other reason. In short, as soon as Gaara made a move, he targeted Uzumaki Naruto.

The situation has changed a lot from what Bane had imagined. He doesn't know why Orochimaru suddenly took action at this time. This has resulted in Uzumaki Naruto, who was supposed to accept Jiraiya's teachings, make some progress, and master the summoning technique, still being a blank slate. He can't do anything!
"Hinata, get out of the way!" Uzumaki Naruto pushed Hinata away, and when he wanted to run away, the sky full of yellow sand had completely surrounded him.

The Konoha jonins who were originally present were now entangled by the jonins from the Sand Village, and seemed completely unable to take care of the situation on Uzumaki Naruto's side.

Just when Gaara had a ferocious expression and murderous red eyes, and wanted to crush Uzumaki Naruto to death, suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

This made Gaara freeze, and he instinctively turned around to look behind him, and saw that the man who was originally standing on the podium appeared behind him.

He was wearing a dark blue haori that extended over his shoulders, and his black hair was swaying freely in the yellow sand. One hand was on his shoulder, and the other hand was holding an exquisite jade-inlaid pipe. At the same time, there was a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Kid, you looked so arrogant just now? Are you provoking me?" Bane said maliciously.

"Go to hell!!!" Gaara is in a very bad mental state because he has not been able to get good sleep for a long time. He will turn into a murderer if he is slightly stimulated.

The yellow sand lingering around suddenly became sharper, and the dust that should have crushed Uzumaki Naruto also attacked Bane behind him.

"Be careful." Uzumaki Naruto instinctively warned after noticing this scene.

Then the next second, he saw the dark power slowly emanating from the body of that handsome uncle. The external manifestation of the rich dark element did not seem to be as swift and violent as Gaara's raging sand, but it was more powerful.

It was as if the yellow sands would never be able to break through the attraction of the dark elements. No matter how much they came, they were quickly swallowed up by the dark elements and disappeared completely.

At the same time, Bane exhaled a puff of smoke lightly, looking very casual. Even Uzumaki Naruto, who was a few meters away, did not notice any special changes.

However, Gaara felt extreme fear and pressure from him, and at the same time, Shukaku in his body was frantically reminding Gaara.

"Run, find a way to move, you idiot"

"That guy is not an enemy you can handle at all. You will die!"

Unfortunately, Gaara was locked in by Bane's murderous gaze and aura and was unable to move at all. He felt cold all over, as if he was hit by a spell. Not to mention running, he couldn't even tremble.

The man in front of him slowly squatted down because of his height, and the hand that was originally on his shoulder also moved to his abdomen. Gaara felt the touch of those five fingers on his abdomen, and the fear in his heart became even stronger.

There was no technique, just brute force, Bane's fingers kept squeezing into Gaara's belly button, his fingertips blending into his body in a very strange way, as if he was trying to pull something out of him.

Shukaku in Gaara's body obviously sensed this crisis, and shouted in fear inside Gaara: "What are you still standing there for? Move quickly, you little brat! He's going to break my seal!"

Shukaku was quite terrified, and was very unhappy about being sealed inside Gaara's body, so he harassed Gaara day and night, making it impossible for Gaara to sleep.

Over such a long time, he had fantasized more than once that the seal in Gaara's body was broken and he would regain his freedom.

But at this moment, when the seal was broken in such a rude and unreasonable way by the man in front of him who made him feel terrified, he only hoped in his heart that this seal that restricted his freedom could last a little longer!

Dense spells emerged from Gaara's body and flowed on his skin, as if trying to stop Bane's actions. Unfortunately, it had no effect at all. These spells were roughly crushed by Bane and turned into ink, flowing out of Gaara's body and soaking into the ground along his toes.

Soon, Bane's palm was completely inserted into Gaara's body, leaving only his wrist outside his belly.

The brat's expression also became painful, but Bane didn't care at all. He seemed to be groping for something. After a moment, he grinned and said, "Got it!"

Without any hesitation, Bane suddenly pulled his hand out of Gaara's abdomen. At the same time, in his palm, he was holding a cute-looking little guy, which was the mini form of Shukaku, the One-Tail.

Being forcibly pulled out of the host's body, Shukaku was also terrified. He struggled and screamed: "Let me go, you monster, who are you?"

Freed from the seal, Shukaku's power could be fully unleashed, but no matter how hard he tried to struggle, he was unable to escape from the man's hands. He couldn't even grow larger and regain his original might. It was as if the palm that was pinching him was more powerful than any sealing technique.

Holding Shukaku in his hand, Bane said with a smile on his face: "It looks pretty cute, little thing."

After a short pause, Ben thought to himself, "Let me think about it, how do I release and mobilize the chakra to turn it into a chain?"

As he muttered to himself, several chakra chains quickly appeared on his arms. This technique was the Vajra Seal!

However, before these chakra chains could lock Shukaku in their hands, they suddenly collapsed in mid-air as if there was a problem with the program.

This made Ben feel a little helpless and he said, "It seems that I still need to practice more. Forget it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bane casually opened a space fold of dark elements in the air, then gently threw Shukaku in his hand into the dark space and sealed it.

At the same time, Gaara had completely lost consciousness, his feet went soft, and he fell to the ground. The yellow sand around him also quickly fell and scattered all over the ground.

Not far away, Uzumaki Naruto looked at Bane with horror and confusion in his eyes.

At this moment, for the first time in his life, he heard the voice of the nine-tailed fox in his body.

"Run!!!"
