Chapter 44 Taming a Fat Cat

Konoha.

Death Forest.

"Isn't this…?"

"Haha!! Come here, kid, let me shred you to pieces!!!"

Gaara looked around and immediately recognized this place, but his attention was suddenly shifted to the sound source.

Gaara looked like he was in a vast dark hall, and in the middle of it was a giant monster that looked like a Tanuki with a single tail behind it and was bound by chains.

The colossal monster seemed to have spotted Gaara, and its vast body shook, trying to break free from the chains, but it was useless and could only curse Gaara.

"Why am I here?"

Gaara was confused as he couldn't understand how he appeared here suddenly in the resting place of Shukaku, the sand spirit.

"Whoa!! What a huge cat!!!"

When Gaara was confused, an exciting voice sounded beside him as he looked towards his left in shock.

Gojo rubbing his chin, looked at the huge bound monster before him with excitement.

"You… how did you enter?"

Gaara asked, stunned as he couldn't understand how this guy entered his mind.

Even Shukaku, the famous noisemaker among the tail beasts, was silent for a moment seeing another person appearing here suddenly.

"Hey~ why are you bound?"

Just when Shukaku was still in a trance, he saw the human appearing right before his huge eyes, looking at him with interest.

"Haha!! Die!!"

Shukaku, who hadn't killed for a long time seeing Gojo in such a close range, rejoiced as he opened his mouth, and Gojo saw a massive amount of Wind Chakra gathering in its mouth.

The feet and hands of Shukaku were bound by chains so it could only attack through its mouth, and Gojo just happened to be right in his range.

"Oh~ compression and rotation of chakra, this seems to be its main ability."

Gojo saw the wind chakra being compressed and rotated constantly and concluded immediately that it must be this fat cat's unique ability.

Finally, the wind chakra in the mouth of Shukaku was completely stable, and a huge wind ball was formed as he shot it towards Gojo floating before him.

*Boom!!!*

"Haha!! I killed that human."

The distance between Gojo and Shukaku was not even 10 meters as the wind ball completely enveloped Gojo, and a massive explosion was set off.

"He should be dead…."

Gaara covered his face-saving himself from the wind pressure, but even he knew that guy must be dead after being directly hit by such a powerful attack.

Finally, after a minute, the after-effects of the attack of Shukaku stopped, and an intact Gojo appeared in front of Shukaku and Gaara.

"That kind of attack, at least in terms of offensive power, this monster can be ranked among special grade curses."

Gojo floating in the air gave Shukaku an evaluation as that attack of Shukaku was really powerful.

Don't look at him easily blocking the attack and think it's weak; if that attack had hit the terrain, at least an area around 500 meters would have been eradicated.

So, Gojo categorized this cat among special grade curses but in terms of offensive power.

With its huge size, Gojo can guess its speed should be very slow, giving the opponent to dodge its attack easily, so even some 2nd rank grade sorcerers might be able to defeat this cat.

"Hey~ what are you?"

Finally snapping out, Gojo asked the stunned Shukaku in a causal tone, completely unafraid of him.

"Don't get cocky, human."

Hearing the tone in which Gojo was addressing him, Shukaku couldn't help but be angry; he was one of the feared tail beasts, not a house dog.

Boom!!!

Shukaku opened his mouth again, trying to attack Gojo, but a punch fell at the top of his head.

"Ahhh!!! why does it hurt?"

Shukaku, just a massive cluster of chakra, felt pain for the first time in his long life as he screamed hysterically.

*Boom!!* *Boom!!*

"Ahhh, damn human, I'll kill you."

"I... won't let you go…."

"Stop it… human."

"Please stop… I beg you…."

Gojo rained punches on Shukaku, who cursed and threatened Gojo due to pain, but as time passed, the pain began to increase as it couldn't handle anymore and surrendered with a fearful look in his eyes.

Shukaku couldn't understand what kind of power this human had as his every punch seemed to have unique energy hurting him.

"This…"

Gaara, who saw the pleading Shukaku, couldn't find an appropriate word to describe this situation.

The monster always troubled him, and the village was tamed so easily.

"Oh~ you gave up so easily, and I just had started to enjoy it."

Seeing the tamed cat, Gojo shook his head in disappointment as this cat was an even better punching bag than the woman he had met before.

"Okay! Then about my question, who are you?"

Now that Shukaku has calmed down, Gojo finally came to the main point.

"What… do you want to know?"

Shukaku said meekly as he couldn't understand what this human wanted to know.

"I know a guy who is similar to this red hair kid… he also has a monster like you inside him… what's your relationship with that monster?"

Gojo asked curiously as he couldn't wait to uncover the secrets of this world.
