Logically speaking, Rasa's strength should have been enough to suppress the Ichibi, making it unnecessary to seek help from Konoha. However, Sand Shinobi are not very skilled in Sealing Jutsu, and the Ichibi is knowledgeable about Sealing Jutsu, making it difficult for ordinary seals to restrain it.
Therefore, the sealing of the Ichibi absolutely cannot be rushed, or they might end up creating a Jinchuriki who could go berserk at any moment.
During the Third Great Ninja War, the Sand Shinobi suffered a complete defeat, resulting in massive financial losses, and a portion of their mission rewards still had to be handed over to Konoha.
The situation of the Sand Shinobi in the original work was certainly much better than it is now, and the current Sand Shinobi clearly cannot withstand this kind of turmoil.
Therefore, Rasa and Chiyo considered it for a long time and finally decided to seek help from Konoha.
"Kazekage-sama, I can help you reinforce the seal, but have you prepared the Jinchuriki?" Uchiha En asked.
"Of course we are ready. My youngest son, Gaara, was just born. Let him serve as the new Ichibi Jinchuriki!" Rasa said.
Uchiha En was stunned upon hearing this. Gaara was born? That doesn't seem right?
It is currently June of Year 47 of Konoha. Gaara was born in January of Year 48 of Konoha. According to the timeline, Gaara shouldn't be born for another six months!
Uchiha En didn't know that the Battle of Mount Kikyo in the original work only erupted after the Third Great Ninja War had basically ended, whereas the current Ninja World War broke out during the final stages of the Third Great Ninja War, about half a year earlier.
In other words, the Sand Shinobi surrendered half a year earlier, Rasa returned to the Village half a year earlier, and Gaara's birth was naturally also half a year earlier.
Uchiha En was always the type of person who wouldn't dwell on things he couldn't figure out.
Since he decided to help, Uchiha En began considering which Sealing Jutsu would be most appropriate.
In the original work, Minato Namikaze used the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, which combines two Four Symbols Seals, to seal the Nine-Tailed into Naruto's body.
The Eight Trigrams Sealing Style allows the Nine-Tails Chakra leaking between the first layer of the Four Symbols Seal to be extracted a second time, converting it into Naruto's Chakra.
Doing this greatly reduces the negative emotions within the Nine-Tails Chakra, allowing Naruto to easily use small amounts of the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Uchiha En had just learned the Four Symbols Seal, but he didn't know the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. Moreover, Uchiha En felt that the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style could not be used on the Ichibi.
Because the Ichibi's Chakra reserves are vastly different from the Nine-Tailed's; the Ichibi's Chakra reserves are too small.
If the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style were used, let alone allowing the Jinchuriki to adapt to the Ichibi's Chakra, they might not even be able to sense the Ichibi at all.
Thinking this, Uchiha En finally decided to use the Four Symbols Seal, but he would add the effects of other Sealing Jutsu to the Four Symbols Seal, for example, incorporating auxiliary Sealing Jutsu into the Four Symbols Seal's formula to suppress the Ichibi.
After deciding what to do, just as Uchiha En was about to tell Rasa his thoughts, a powerful wave of Chakra appeared outside the Hidden Sand Village.
Uchiha En was extremely familiar with this Chakra; he had seen it countless times on the battlefield.
"Kazekage-sama, I originally wanted to discuss the Sealing Jutsu issue with you, but unfortunately, there's no time—the Ichibi has already appeared."
Rasa was startled by the news. He rushed to the window, opened it, and indeed saw the Ichibi's massive figure.
Rasa immediately jumped out the window and hurried toward the Ichibi's location. Seeing this, Uchiha En called out to Kakashi, and the two followed Rasa, running toward the Ichibi.
The Hidden Sand Village is located in the desert, and the Ichibi's body can be infinitely revived using sand, making the Hidden Sand Village the best battlefield for the Ichibi.
