Chapter 483: The Six-Tails Jinchuriki
Tsunade was very satisfied. With a wave of her hand, she declared, "Let's go, to the Tsuchigumo clan's village."
Shizune held Tonton as the three of them moved swiftly. Soon, on a mountaintop over a hundred meters high, they saw the person frantically absorbing natural energy.
It was a young girl with beige, shoulder-length hair and a numb expression. The most eye-catching thing about her was the large character "Control" (操) on her snow-white arm!
This Chinese character astonished Ino. She never would have thought the local customs here were so wild.
Such a bold style was rare even in her past life.
Tattooing a dragon or some kind of demon on one's arm was common, nothing new. But to have such a character so blatantly displayed was truly audacious. It was on par with the foreigners from her past life who would get random Chinese characters tattooed on themselves.
Just as Ino was dumbfounded by the girl's boldness, a sleazy-looking man walked out from behind her.
The truth was revealed, and her excitement was for nothing. It wasn't some liberation of her true nature; she was simply being controlled by a secret jutsu. The character stood for "manipulation."
Ino pouted. The three of them and the pig didn't act rashly but observed from their hiding spot for a while.
The sleazy man placed his right hand on the girl's exposed back. The chakra pathways on her back bulged as a massive amount of natural energy was funneled into her body. Such a forceful absorption would cause immense damage to her chakra pathways, yet the girl had a dazed, almost blissful expression on her face, as if she felt no pain at all.
Incredible! Ino, still in hiding, was once again amazed. It seemed that not only did the girl have that character on her arm, but she herself was a human weapon! So powerful!
The sleazy man had the triangular eyes of a stereotypical villain. He continuously controlled the human weapon before him, forcing her to absorb natural energy. Then, he scanned the surroundings. "Come out! I know you're here! If you don't want her to die, then get your asses out here!"
Ino and the others didn't move. Even Tonton had been through the Great Ninja War. Who did he think he was trying to scare with such a small scene?
The area fell eerily silent, with only the hissing sound of natural energy entering the girl's body.
Tsunade and the others communicated through Ino's Mind Transmission Jutsu.
"That girl is absorbing so much natural energy. Will she be alright?" Tsunade asked.
The only one present who understood how to use natural energy was Ino. She took a closer look. "It should be some kind of secret jutsu that makes the body extremely susceptible to absorbing natural energy. But it looks like she's only passively absorbing it; I don't think she can use it. Why is she absorbing natural energy like this?"
Tsunade's expression turned serious. "The Tsuchigumo clan's secret jutsu can absorb natural energy. When the energy accumulates to its limit, it can cause a massive explosion, powerful enough to destroy a castle or even a country."
Hearing the familiar word "explosion," Ino paused. "An explosion? How big is the blast radius?"
"I don't know. It probably depends on how much natural energy they absorb. The old man Hiruzen studied it back in the day, but I didn't pay much attention."
No matter how much the Third Hokage studied it, he didn't understand Sage Mode himself. His conclusions were all based on observation and calculation; he didn't know the true ferocity and power of natural energy.
Ino knew very well how terrifying natural energy could be.
In just the few minutes they had been watching, the natural energy absorbed by that human-weapon girl could already produce immense destructive power. If it were compressed further, the power would be even greater. At that point, not just the mountain beneath their feet, but probably everything within a ten-li radius would be blown to smithereens.
"I'll snatch her natural energy. Master, you go stop the man behind her."
"Alright."
Ino closed her eyes to regulate her breathing. Tsunade and Shizune knew this was the prelude to her entering Sage Mode and waited patiently.
Two minutes later, Ino stepped out from her hiding place. As she dropped her concealment, a massive amount of natural energy began to surge toward her.
"Huh?" "Who are you?"
Appearing at the same time as Ino was a young man wearing a blue haori, with long brown hair covering his left eye.
They had both stepped out at the same time, from different directions.
"He's the Six-Tails jinchuriki, Utakata!" Tsunade stopped in her tracks, alerting Ino while observing whether he was friend or foe.
As a jinchuriki from the Mist Village, the young man was also hesitant when he suddenly saw Ino appear, unsure of her intentions.
"Save her first?" Ino asked.
"Alright."
Having reached an agreement, Ino formed the "Horse" hand seal and began to actively absorb the nearby natural energy.
The Six-Tails jinchuriki didn't understand Sage Mode, but he could sense the flow of chakra and understood her intention. He immediately took out a metal pipe from his robes.
He took a light breath and then blew a stream of colorful bubbles from the pipe.
Ino knew this technique; it was the Water Release: Water Bubble Technique the Second Mizukage had taught her. However, the Six-Tails jinchuriki used a pipe instead of hand seals.
A dense swarm of bubbles surrounded the sleazy man and the human weapon. The bubbles were iridescent; even a fool would know they weren't for show.
The sleazy man had no intention of protecting the human weapon. Instead, he tried to detonate the natural energy inside her. But Ino's Sage Mode, which was exclusive to the Ōtsutsuki clan, was far superior to his absorption process, which relied on secret techniques and body modification.
The natural energy inside the girl shot up into the sky, forming a pillar of light. But just as it was about to compress and explode, the process came to an abrupt halt due to the lack of corresponding natural energy from the outside.
The surge of natural energy through her body caused the "Control" character on the girl's arm to disappear. At almost the same time, the bubbles blown by the Six-Tails jinchuriki completely enveloped the sleazy man.
The bubbles Ino had learned from the Second Mizukage were primarily filled with oil to facilitate combustion. But this Six-Tails jinchuriki filled his with acid.
There wasn't much acid in each bubble, but there were a great number of them.
The sleazy man's triangular eyes were first corroded into two bloody sockets, followed by his cheeks, neck, and hands. Finally, most of his body was covered in acid. He let out two horrific screams and, just before his body completely dissolved into a puddle, he threw a kunai at the Six-Tails jinchuriki with all his remaining hatred. The kunai was easily dodged.
The sleazy man was dead, and the human-weapon girl was free again.
Ino had just dispersed the absorbed natural energy and deactivated Sage Mode. She was about to ask Tsunade what to do next when she saw the human-weapon girl rush straight into the arms of the Six-Tails jinchuriki.
The young man in the blue haori was a bit awkward and tried to push the girl away, but she hugged his waist tightly, crying out, "Master, I'll never leave you again," and "I want to be your disciple forever," and so on.
Ino watched from the side with wide eyes. This girl was a legend. First, she had the "Control" character on her arm, then she was captured and used as a thermal weapon, and finally, there was this forbidden master-student romance? My goodness! In this respect, you are the strongest!
