"This time, you've done a good deed."
With that, Shinji lowered his hand from the Chakra cocoon.
"What do you mean?" Mimi's face was full of confusion.
Shinji pointed to the Chakra cocoon in front of him and said, "Seven Tails, Chomei cut off its consciousness, and it's now inside this Chakra cocoon."
Chomei, at the very last moment, abandoned its body, which was composed of Tailed Beast Chakra.
During Mimi's absorption, it brought the Jinchuriki Fü's soul into the Ancestral Land.
Originally, Chomei thought that no matter who tried to absorb this Chakra, they would be invaded by the chaotic Chakra currents within it.
Who would have thought that Mimi didn't absorb it immediately, but rather let it be?
Moreover, this Ancestral Land was filled with barriers that Chomei couldn't see through, making it dare not move recklessly.
The helpless Chomei could only use the characteristics of its power to weave this Chakra cocoon, as Fū's soul would dissipate at any moment if it wasn't protected.
"Huh?"
Mimi turned his head to look. He hadn't expected a Tailed Beast to have such a trick.
"Mimi, do you have any way to protect a spirit body?" Shinji stroked his chin and asked.
After communicating with Chomei, Shinji had confirmed with it that if Fū's spirit body could be protected, Chomei would unconditionally abandon the Chakra forming the cocoon. After all, it was only a severed part of it.
In its main body elsewhere, it also had his own consciousness, and no matter what happened in the end, it would be able to revive through reincarnation.
"Protecting a spirit body…"
Mimi began to ponder. Although he wasn't sure of its specific use, since Shinji brought it up, it meant it had a purpose.
"As for Yokai Arts, I don't have any here." Mimi shook his head and said.
"No Yokai Arts, which means you have other things that can protect a spirit body?" Shinji looked sideways. He really hadn't expected Mimi to actually have such a thing.
"Don't you look at what kind of place this is? The ancestors of my clan all returned here before their demise." Mimi looked up and said disdainfully.
This place could be said to be his treasure land.
Shinji rolled his eyes. He had explored the entire Ancestral Land, and besides the two trial grounds, he hadn't entered the shrine.
"Alright, if you have such a thing, go get it, otherwise you won't have the chance to absorb this Chakra." Shinji waved his hand, telling Mimi to get it.
"Meow! Why!" Mimi immediately bristled.
"Because Seven Tails can control this Chakra. If you don't give in, we'll just part ways." Shinji spread his hands and said.
Although he could suppress it, there was something he wanted to do that required this consciousness of Chomei, even if it was just a severed part.
"Got it."
Mimi looked at the Chakra cocoon in front of him and conceded after a while.
"Alright, you won't lose out. I don't believe this thing of yours can only be used once." Shinji patted Mimi's head.
Mimi impatiently shrugged him off, then ran towards the shrine. Soon, he came back in front of Shinji, holding a bead in his mouth.
"This is?" Shinji took it with curiosity.
Things that could protect spirit bodies were very rare.
"Treasure Orb." Mimi looked at the bead with reluctance and said.
Such a casual name.
"Alright, you just need to pull the spirit body into it later."
Shinji stopped studying it. This was something he couldn't understand at the moment.
Shinji raised his hand, and an extremely dense Yin Chakra appeared in his hand. Immediately, countless tiny threads poked into the Chakra cocoon one after another.
"Roar—"
The Chakra cocoon once again let out a roar. Under the threads in front of Shinji, Chomei slowly emerged from the Chakra cocoon.
"Bring out the spirit body you are protecting." Shinji said directly.
Chomei could hear his conversation with Mimi, so he didn't bother to explain further.
Chomei looked at Shinji, then slowly nodded. At this point, he couldn't resist.
If this guy in front of it wanted, it wouldn't even be able to explode this Chakra cocoon. It was better to just listen to him, perhaps Fū's spirit body still had a chance.
"As for spirit body techniques, I think you, as a Tailed Beast, should be clearer. It's not that simple."
Shinji raised his palm, and a faint light flashed on the Treasure Orb.
"Why not let her enter here first? You can also feel that this Ancestral Land is different, and a spirit body staying here will definitely have many benefits."
Mimi's Ancestral Land had Yokai power within it. A spirit body here might even be able to transform by relying on that Yokai power.
After Chomei nodded, and Shinji gestured to Mimi beside him.
The Yokai markings on Mimi's cat face glowed, and the Treasure Orb floated up without any wind.
At this moment, Chomei's consciousness was filled with shock.
This fluctuation…
It no longer hesitated. The consciousness wrapped inside the Chakra cocoon surfaced, and then it was drawn into the Treasure Orb.
Mimi leaped up, holding the Treasure Orb in his mouth, muttering incessantly, "What a huge loss."
"Alright, I'll let you absorb this Chakra later." Shinji rubbed Mimi's head.
He then looked at Chomei's consciousness and said, "Cut off the Chakra that can sustain your consciousness. I'll take you somewhere later."
This was something Shinji had thought of when he saw Chomei's consciousness.
Since a part of Eight-Tails's consciousness had already entered Naruto's Sealed Space, adding Chomei's wouldn't be impossible.
Perhaps, before Madara wanted to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, Naruto's Sealed Space could gather all nine Tailed Beasts.
Even if, besides Nine-Tails, they were all just partial Chakra, that would be enough. After all, Tailed Beast Chakra fragments would allow Naruto to utilize the attributes of each Tailed Beast.
To achieve mastery over these powers, Naruto still needed to possess Yang power.
Alternatively, Shinji was preparing to have Naruto deepen his Yang Release training later, which should more or less achieve the effect of mastery.
Even if it wondered what Shinji wanted to do, Chomei just nodded, then radiated a green light. A Chakra orb appeared and came to Shinji's palm.
Looking at the slightly dissipating Chakra orb, Shinji used Yin Release to cover the entire sphere. This prevented it from dissipating.
Mimi looked at the Chakra cocoon in front of him with a heartbroken expression. Although its size hadn't changed, in his perception, one-third of the Tailed Beast Chakra inside had already been lost.
"Don't feel bad. This is at least much more than when you absorbed Four-Tails." Shinji shook his head helplessly.
Why was this cat so greedy?
"Absorb it as soon as possible. I'll give you some compensation then. How about an unlimited meal once?" Shinji raised an eyebrow and said.
"It's a deal." Mimi quickly agreed.
Such opportunities were rare.
