As soon as Shukaku broke free from the seal, he saw several humans around him.
"Damn humans! Are you trying to seal me again? Die!"
He raised his giant claw and slammed it fiercely towards Zetsu, who was closest to him.
Kaguya instantly activated her Byakugan, the blood vessels around her eyes clearly visible.
Her red lips parted slightly, speaking with an irresistible authority, "Byakugan: Pressure."
She merely glared, and in that instant, an invisible pressure enveloped Shukaku. It was an absolute suppression stemming from the depths of its bloodline, like an ant facing the sky, like a cub facing a tiger.
Shukaku trembled all over, its raised giant claw freezing in mid-air.
The next second, its massive body crashed to the ground with a "boom," its limbs pressed tightly against the scorching yellow sand, unable to move even a single finger, only able to stare at Kaguya with eyes full of terror.
"Wh-what kind of power is this? Why do I… feel fear in my very bones? Who exactly are you?"
Kaguya did not speak, she slowly walked to Shukaku's front. She raised her right hand, her palm aimed at Shukaku's body.
An invisible suction force surged out. Shukaku immediately felt the Chakra within it uncontrollably rushing towards her. It struggled desperately but was suppressed completely, only able to watch its Chakra drain away.
"No! My Chakra! You thief! Stop it now!"
He twisted his body frantically, trying to break free from the restraint, his earthy-yellow fur disheveled from the struggle, yet that invisible pressure held him firmly in place, unable to move even a jot.
Deep red Chakra continuously flowed out from Shukaku's body, like streams merging into a vast sea, pouring into Kaguya's body.
Kaguya felt the rapid recovery of Chakra within her. The weakness she had felt for a thousand years gradually dissipated, and her body seemed to regain its vitality.
A red Chakra cloak appeared around her, its fluctuations growing stronger and stronger, even the surrounding yellow sand was stirred by the invisible Chakra, forming ripples.
Zetsu stood to Shun's right, her small face filled with surprise. "Papa, Mama's Chakra is so strong but One-Tail looks like it's almost completely drained."
She pointed at Shukaku. At this moment, Shukaku's body was visibly shrinking at a rapid pace, its formerly plump and round physique gradually shriveling. Its earthy-yellow fur also lost its former luster, drooping on its body.
It looked exactly like sun-dried straw, its aura even becoming faint, only occasionally letting out a few weak moans.
Shukaku looked at its own belly, now nothing but skin and bones. Its eyes were filled with despair, and its former arrogance was completely gone.
"Please, spare me... If you keep draining, I'll really die... I promise I won't cause any more trouble, please spare me."
Its tears streamed from the corners of its eyes. Shukaku, who had once caused countless storms in the Ninja World, actually had such a pathetic day.
Shun noticed Shukaku entering a dying state and frowned slightly. He knew he couldn't let Kaguya continue draining him. He stepped forward and gently pressed her shoulder.
"Kaguya, that's enough. Leave some Chakra for him."
Kaguya opened her eyes, a hint of lingering desire flashing within them, and the suction force from her palm gradually dissipated. She slowly withdrew her right hand, and the deep red Chakra threads also vanished.
At this moment, her aura was stronger than before, her eyes gleaming with a bright radiance, and a thousand years of fatigue were swept away.
"Little tanuki, you're lucky. If Shun hadn't stopped me, you would have undoubtedly died today."
Shukaku lay on the ground, gasping for air, its chest heaving violently, without even the strength to retort.
He could only secretly glance at Kaguya with unwilling eyes, but dared not make the slightest move.
He knew that he was no match for this woman, and a slight misstep would mean his complete disappearance from this world.
Shun walked to Shukaku's front, pale green Chakra glowing on his fingertips.
He gently touched Shukaku's forehead, his voice calm. "Genjutsu: Memory Eradication."
Pale blue Chakra slowly seeped into Shukaku's forehead. Shukaku's eyes gradually became unfocused, the fear and despair from earlier slowly vanishing.
Erasing his recent memories would prevent him from revealing anything unusual to Gaara when he awoke, thus not disrupting the subsequent plans.
After all this, Shun walked to Gaara's front, squatted down, and placed his hand on Gaara's belly. A black Fuinjutsu was pressed onto Gaara's belly.
Under the pull of the Fuinjutsu, Shukaku let out a faint wail, wanting to struggle and resist, but due to excessive Chakra depletion, even mobilizing a single thread of Chakra became difficult.
It could only be forcibly thrust into the seal space within Gaara's body by that invisible power.
As the seal concluded, the red glow around Gaara gradually dissipated, his breathing became stable, and his pale face regained some color.
Shun stood up and turned to look at Karura. She was still unconscious, lying on a sand dune, her brow slightly furrowed, as if having a bad dream.
Shun made a hand seal.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
The next second, Karura and Gaara's figures returned to their home in Sunagakure.
The yellow sand gradually settled, and the surroundings returned to their previous calm, as if the intense battle that had just occurred had never happened.
Shun walked to Kaguya's side. He looked at the Chakra cloak still lingering around her, and asked with a smile, "Kaguya, how do you feel?"
Kaguya moved her body, feeling the surging Chakra within her and said, "One-Tail's Chakra is too little, it only restored about half a percent. It's not as fast as reproducing with you a few more times."
After speaking, she subconsciously glanced in the direction where Shukaku had disappeared, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. Actually, she wanted to take One-Tail back and just draw a little Chakra from him regularly.
Seeing this, Shun paused slightly, then smiled. "I plan to collect the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts to help you activate the Rinne Sharingan."
Hearing the words "Rinne Sharingan," Kaguya's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she gently nodded.
If she could successfully activate it, she would be able to return to her true peak state.
"Next, we'll go to the Land of Lightning. Kumogakure has Two-Tails Matatabi and Eight-Tails Gyuki, we can collect their Chakra together. And while we're there, I'll show you and Zetsu the unique thunderstorm scenery of the Land of Lightning, which will be the second stop of our honeymoon trip."
Shun raised his hand, and a pale golden spatial vortex reappeared before the three of them.
Through the vortex, the stormy scene of the Land of Lightning could be vaguely seen.
