Kapitel 269: Chapter 269: Complete Tailed Beast Transformation and the Unknown Person
IMPORTANT: For every 30 POWER STONES there will be an extra chapter!
With just a glance, it was clear that the small black orb contained terrifying energy, even more frightening than the manifested dark-red tailed beast chakra cloak.
"Tailed Beast Bomb…!"
There was no time for Ye Zi to consider how to defend against it; he only managed to release Chijin and quickly clasped his hands together as the Tailed Beast Bomb, tracing a pitch-black trajectory, rapidly closed in.
A terrifying amount of energy triggered a violent explosion just ahead of Ye Zi, and an intense, blinding white light instantly covered an area of several hundred meters.
Flames generated from the converted energy formed a massive semicircular dome on the ground, incinerating the large trees caught within to ash in an instant.
"Did that finish it?"
Yagura watched the explosion he had caused with a cold gaze. In the second stage of tailed beast transformation, the Tailed Beast Bomb's power was at its peak; to enhance it further, he would need to transform completely.
Taking a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Bomb should leave the opponent either dead or close to it.
As the intense heat and flames from the explosion began to dissipate, thick white smoke lingered, revealing a landscape that had been leveled.
The white smoke gradually cleared, revealing a tall silhouette.
Seeing the shadow amidst the fading smoke, Yagura's expression shifted. It was merely covered by the dark-red chakra, making it hard to discern at first.
"That's… the First Hokage's Wood Release?"
As the dust settled, a wooden figure with a tragically charred appearance became visible. After enduring the intense heat, its surface was covered in burn marks, many areas scorched gray and red, with lingering heat still burning the wood.
Despite withstanding the explosion, faint traces of a set of samurai armor carved into the wooden figure could still be discerned.
Yagura's eyes grew colder. Although he couldn't understand the nature of this wooden figure or Ye Zi's condition, he had no intention of investigating further. Opening his mouth, he began gathering another Tailed Beast Bomb, a dark orb gradually swelling as bubbles of chakra formed.
At that moment, the wooden figure's charred body suddenly began to crack, spiderwebbing outward. Without warning, the wooden figure crumbled from the head down, falling to pieces until Ye Zi's form was visible from the chest area.
Seeing Yagura gathering a second Tailed Beast Bomb, Ye Zi, amid the wooden figure's collapse, leaped down, activating a brilliant lightning aura around him. This chakra transformed into a lightning-dragon armor that cloaked him.
The Lightning Prison technique combines speed and attack, while the Thunder Dragon Armor merges defense with speed, though it has another use.
The second Tailed Beast Bomb hurtled towards him.
With his feet firmly on the ground, Ye Zi moved forward instead of retreating, narrowly evading the Tailed Beast Bomb with his lightning flicker technique.
A disadvantage of the half-transformed Tailed Beast Bomb was its relatively small size.
After dodging the bomb, Ye Zi accelerated, appearing before Yagura in an instant. The lightning-dragon surrounding him suddenly detached, forming a giant lightning dragon filled with powerful lightning chakra, which opened its jaws and lunged at Yagura.
As the Thunder Dragon left his body, the lightning aura on Ye Zi disappeared instantly, while he rapidly formed hand seals.
The attack from the Thunder Dragon Armor's second stage was merely meant to restrain Yagura; his real countermeasure was still Wood Release.
The Thunder Dragon bit down on Yagura's head, triggering a violent explosion that unleashed a wave of scorching heat.
Chakra condensed to a certain degree doesn't just display elemental effects; it can also cause explosions.
Even after taking the hit, thanks to the resilience of his tailed beast cloak, Yagura was only slightly paralyzed, his body otherwise unharmed.
Using a Tailed Beast Bomb at such close range would be risky, so…
From his mouth, Yagura shot three chakra balls similar to Shukaku's Air Bullets, though these were water-based.
However, just as the water bullets left his mouth, they encountered a tightly intertwined wooden wall of thick tree roots blocking their path.
Boom!
The water bullets struck the wooden wall, and the force of the impact pushed Yagura back, though another wall of thick tree roots behind him stopped him. The structure of these wooden walls was impressively sturdy.
"That infamous Konoha rogue ninja actually mastered the First Hokage's Wood Release to this extent?"
Yagura's face twisted in frustration from internal injuries, though the dark-red chakra cloak concealed his expression.
The spiraling wooden wall, intertwined with roots, bound Yagura tightly.
Ye Zi clasped his hands, coldly observing the spiraled wooden spire, and murmured, "Finally. Now, I just need to absorb… huh?"
The wooden wall, which had withstood the water bullets at near point-blank range without a scratch, suddenly began to swell outward.
Seeing this, Ye Zi retreated a short distance with his flicker technique, just in time to watch the wooden spire explode, sending countless wooden splinters flying in all directions.
A massive creature emerged, resembling a gigantic gray turtle with three flat tails swinging behind it, and covered in numerous sharp spikes.
"A complete tailed beast transformation… so the intel was accurate. The Fourth Mizukage can indeed perfectly control the Jinchūriki."
Gazing at the fearsome, monstrous Three-Tails, Ye Zi's expression grew slightly tense. Although he had managed to force Yagura to this point, it had taken a lot of chakra.
"With his body this large, ordinary Wood Release won't hold. I'll have to use that move, though if it fails, things will get dangerous."
Thin threads of lightning started appearing on his skin. Even with his chakra running low, he had to use Lightning Release armor to boost his speed and minimize his chances of being hit.
"Roar!"
Fully transformed, Isobu let out a furious roar, then lowered its head and glared coldly at Ye Zi in the distance.
Forced to this extent, even if he defeated Ye Zi, Yagura wouldn't be able to move afterward. This meant that regardless of the outcome, his upcoming meeting with the Hokage was likely ruined.
"A rare chance for the village's development, completely destroyed…"
His one open red eye was filled with fury and a cold murderous intent.
Far from the battlefield, a ninja in an Anbu uniform, wearing a white fox mask, watched the scene intently. He gazed as if he could see the entire battle clearly from such a distance.
Because beneath the mask lay a pair of white eyes with veins bulging around the edges.
This Anbu, who had been observing from afar for some time, finally made a move after Yagura's complete tailed beast transformation. He retrieved a scroll from his robe.
Spreading it out, he found a blank page, drew a pen with his right hand, and swiftly recorded the intelligence he had gathered with precise and clear wording on the scroll.
Soon, the writing stopped, and the intelligence was logged onto the scroll. Rolling it up, he prepared it for transmission.
"Summoning Technique."
He placed a hand on the ground, and with a sharp command, a summoning symbol appeared, followed by a burst of white smoke. From within the smoke emerged a pure white hawk with golden eyes that briefly regarded the Anbu before stretching its wings.
The Anbu extended his left hand for the hawk to perch on and handed it the scroll, which the hawk clutched with its hooked beak.
"Go."
The hawk gave a slight nod, then disappeared in a puff of white smoke from the Anbu's hand.
