Gaara, who has fallen into a deep sleep, is on Shukaku's head, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains had securely locked both Shukaku and Gaara together.

Almost instantly, Shukaku found himself completely immobilized.

This is the dominating power of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques. No need for any complex considerations, just seal it and be done!

"Smelly Fox!"

Shukaku howled meaningless words and struggled frantically, but it was all in vain.

Naruto ignored the giant Shukaku for the time being, and after running through the forest for a few minutes, he found Sasuke, who was nearly unconscious, in a patch of crushed shrubs.

Sasuke's face was deathly pale, and the black marks of the Cursed Seal of Heaven had spread across his neck, glowing with a fiery red that resembled molten lava.

"How are you?" Naruto slapped Sasuke's cheek with his palm, which was another little trick on the battlefield.

When a comrade collapses beside you, and you’re unsure if they’re still alive, the first thing you should do is wake them up and then ask about their condition. If they can still respond, it means that their airway isn’t blocked.

If they respond with nonsensical answers, it usually means one of two things: either their brain is damaged, or they’re about to die and are already talking gibberish.

In that case, it’s best to start looting their belongings.

"Cough cough!" Sasuke coughed up a mouthful of blood. When he opened his eyes and saw it was Naruto, his brows furrowed instinctively.

"Hey, that’s just rude." Naruto was speechless.

"I’m not dying." Sasuke said calmly.

Naruto stood up, silently gave a thumbs-up, and then decisively called Sakura over, ‘As expected of Sasuke, his sharp tongue could probably produce a few relics even if he were cremated.’

"Kankuro." Temari woke up the unconscious Kankuro. She looked around with complicated gaze and saw Kankuro’s battered puppet.

"Temari?"

Kankuro woke up slowly and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his head and began to cry in pain.

"My puppet! Damn you, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Seeing her younger brother cry so sorrowfully, Temari couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. However, when she thought of her own situation, she didn’t know what to say and could only sigh helplessly.

After Kankuro cried for a while, Temari asked, "Where's Gaara?"

"That guy went berserk and chased after those two from Konoha."

"Which direction he went to? I have to find him!" Temari gritted her teeth, forcing herself to speak despite her injuries, "Kyubi’s Jinchuriki is on his way here. I'm worried something might happen to Gaara."

"What could possibly happen to him?" Kankuro was still mired in the sorrow of his shattered puppet, as if he had lost his wife.

He turned his head to look at Temari and was stunned.

"Temari, where's your fan?"

At these words, Temari bit her lower lip and replied, "It was taken away by the Kyubi’s Jinchuriki. I don't know what tricks he used!"

"What use does he have for that thing?" Kankuro said, "Isn't the Kyubi’s Jinchuriki supposed to be weak?"

Temari didn’t want to talk anymore. She simply said that their intelligence was inaccurate and brushed off the topic.

With Kankuro, who had lost both his puppet and his energy, leaning on her, they set off in the direction where Gaara was.

"What's that smell?"

"Shut up!"

Both of them were injured, and Temari had suffered a physical and mental blow, so she was not moving very fast.

"Do you really want to find that lunatic? He's still in a frenzy. He'll kill us both."

Temari ignored him and focused entirely on moving forward.

"Stop saying these useless things, Kankuro."

…

At this time, Naruto stood in front of Shukaku and released his Lava Release.

"Damn it! You brat, what are you doing?!"

"I’m curious to see how long you’ll last." Naruto muttered. Then, with a single thought, more golden chains wrapped around Shukaku, "Shukaku, I hope the next time we meet, you’ll show me some respect."

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Lava Release!"

Chakra surged endlessly from Naruto’s body, enhancing the power of the Lava Release, which then engulfed half of Shukaku’s massive form.

"Bind him."

The Adamantine Sealing Chains tightened further, ignoring Shukaku's agonized screams, as they burrowed deep into the sand monster’s mountainous body.

Seeing this, Naruto immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.

With the Adamantine Sealing Chains on the outside and the Four Symbols Seal on the inside, he knew he could handle any Biju he encountered from now on.

The intense pain jolted Gaara awake, and Shukaku's consciousness was immediately pulled back into the seal. Gaara's Biju Transformation also ended, and he was knocked down by Naruto with a single punch.

By the time Temari and Kankuro, who were supporting each other, arrived, they witnessed Naruto beating Gaara. Since Gaara was nearly out of chakra, Naruto resorted to simple, brute-force punches.

Gaara, having lost too much energy and suffering severe injuries from Shukaku’s rampage, was no match for Naruto. What began as a fight quickly turned into a one-sided beating.

"Do you think you’re tough?" Naruto sneered, punching through Gaara’s sand defense and landing a solid hit on Gaara’s face.

Gaara was sent flying, his face deformed, and he crashed heavily to the ground. He lay motionless on the ground, in a daze.

"What's the use of having a Biju anyway?"

Naruto muttered as he approached Gaara, grabbed him by the collar, and delivered another hard punch. For a Jinchuriki, this level of damage was nothing, as they would heal soon enough.

" If you want to make it in this world, you need power and background!"

Naruto continued, punching Gaara hard enough to make his eyes roll back. Despite Gaara’s fading consciousness, Naruto kept hitting him.

"You’re lucky you were born well, or you’d already be dead by now."

Gaara was barely conscious and unable to speak. He could only watch as Naruto’s fists pounded into his face again and again.

"You little punk!"

Naruto growled as molten lava gathered in his hands, ready to deliver a final blow at Gaara.

Seeing this, Temari, who was not far away, completely panicked. She scrambled toward them, ignoring her injuries, and threw herself over Gaara, crying out desperately, "You promised me you wouldn’t kill him!"

Temari was genuinely frightened to tears. This time, all three of them had been defeated, and she couldn’t bear the thought of Gaara dying like this, even with his unpredictable and bloodthirsty nature.

Naruto didn’t strike, and retracted his Lava Release. He stared at Temari, who was shielding Gaara behind her, for a few seconds with an emotionless face, then said, "You’re lucky to have been born into the right family."

After saying that, Naruto turned and walked away.

It won't be long before news of the reconciliation between Konoha and Sunagakure spread.

As Temari watched Naruto’s retreating figure with fear in her eyes, tears fell onto Gaara’s face, warm and wet.

Gaara, whose eyes were swollen from the beating, stared at Temari’s panicked face and the tears on his sister's face as he lay there in a daze. It is unknown what he was thinking.

In the end, Kankuro walked over with difficulty and pulled up Temari, who was so scared that her whole body was limp. For the first time, he saw Gaara in such a pitiful state.

After hesitating for a moment, Kankuro pulled Gaara up too.

Temari, having recovered somewhat, came over and, together with Kankuro, put Gaara’s arms over their shoulders.

"Temari."

"Kankuro."

When the two heard Gaara's voice, their bodies suddenly froze with fear. After a brief pause, Gaara spoke again, "I’m sorry."
