Abyssal Blood

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Boss, you're finally back!"

A series of heavy footsteps sounded out, followed by a tall, broad figure squeezing in through the villa's front door. It was Senju Nawaki, whom they had not seen for quite some time.

But as Shimura Kentei looked at the lackey who had entered, his mind went completely blank before he fell into deep thought.

Was this thing Nawaki?

Or rather, was something like this really even human?

Shimura Kentei cast Uzumaki Mito an inquiring look, utterly unable to understand why such a thing could exist in this world.

Uzumaki Mito, still depressed, rubbed her forehead and gave the younger boy a look that said he had not mistaken it. That was indeed his little brother, Senju Nawaki.

"Boss, what do you think of this body of mine? Look at these developed biceps, then these pecs that can bounce, and these eight sharply defined abs..."

Walking forward, Senju Nawaki struck one bodybuilding pose after another as if showing off, displaying his body full of bulging muscles. Shimura Kentei could not help covering his face.

It was too painful to look at!

The Senju Nawaki before him stood around two and a half meters tall, with shoulders at least two meters wide and a chest a meter thick. Muscles bulged all over his body so explosively that even the Hulk would be ashamed.

That was not even the worst part. As a well-rounded young man of the new era, Shimura Kentei had seen all sorts of inhuman things in his previous life. The problem was that Senju Nawaki's body had grown larger, while his head remained the same as before.

That tiny head perched atop shoulders two meters wide and a meter thick looked indescribably awkward.

Most importantly, Senju Nawaki's features were rather delicate. Combined with those rosy, childish cheeks and that crisp voice, the overall image was as bizarre as could be.

It was an assault on the eyes!

So there really are humanoid creatures with pretty faces and tiger backs?

After silently mocking him, Shimura Kentei felt a little embarrassed.

It seemed he had wronged that Pot Kage father. Senju Nawaki's bizarre transformation was probably what had enraged Tsunade so much. If it had been him, he would have wanted to chop someone up too.

"You little pervert, you still dare come here!"

At that moment, a graceful figure vaulted over the wall and landed before Shimura Kentei, fury blazing in her beautiful eyes.

She had only finally completed the Yin Seal today and been permitted by her grandmother to leave the top floor of the secret pavilion. Yet not long after coming out, she received word that this little pervert had come again.

Did he really think she did not dare castrate him in public?

"Big Sis, you're out!"

Seeing that his elder sister had finally left the secret pavilion, Senju Nawaki was overjoyed. Although he had been beaten up badly by her in the past, he still depended on this sister greatly.

Naturally, he was delighted to see that she had completed the Yin Seal and left the secret pavilion.

"You brat haven't been slacking off lately... Holy shit, what kind of monster is that?!"

After glaring resentfully at a certain someone, Tsunade turned to say a few words to her foolish little brother. But when she saw the nonhuman creature behind her, she could not help swearing and instinctively kicked out.

Then poor Senju Nawaki transformed into Superman and shot away at high speed.

That scene made Shimura Kentei thoughtful. It seemed he really had not wronged that Pot Kage father.

Judging from Tsunade's reaction, she clearly had not known about Nawaki's transformation. Her earlier fury had not stemmed from this matter.

It looked like that Pot Kage father really had done something bad. He, the upright Child of Darkness, had merely been tragically caught in the crossfire!

"Sigh! Being the Child of Darkness isn't easy!"

With a sigh, Shimura Kentei once again felt that his background was absolutely a hell-mode start.

"Just now... that seemed to be Nawaki?"

After kicking out, Tsunade frowned slightly and looked uncertainly at her grandmother.

Although she had only caught a fleeting glimpse, that monster's head seemed to belong to her little brother.

"Be confident. Remove the 'seemed.'"

Still rubbing her forehead, Uzumaki Mito replied gloomily. She truly could not accept her grandson's new look either.

"Oh."

Tsunade answered expressionlessly, then her expression turned vicious as she glared at Shimura Kentei and snarled, "Little pervert, die!"

That little pervert had gained yet another reason to die!

But before Tsunade could make a move, Shimura Kentei, who had long anticipated this, charged forward first. He tightly embraced Tsunade Hime's delicate body and restrained both her arms.

At the same time, he wedged his legs between hers to avoid suffering a devastating strike that would end his bloodline.

That was not all. He activated the mechanical clasps on his arms with Chakra Threads, using them to link the arm armor together and lock Tsunade Hime firmly in place.

He even shoved his entire head into that dark abyss capable of luring out one's inner demons, preventing this woman from smashing his head with a headbutt.

"You're courting death!"

Feeling the pressure against her chest, Tsunade was so furious she nearly went mad. She immediately activated the Yin Seal she had just completed, sending several times her usual amount of chakra surging through her meridians and greatly enhancing her physical abilities, especially her strength.

Then Tsunade fell silent. Only after erupting with power did she awkwardly discover that even with the Yin Seal's boost, she still could not break free from the clasps on the battle suit.

Worse still, after being affected by the battle suit's radiation for so long, the chakra within her body had already gone out of control, making it even harder for her to unleash her strength.

Adamantine Sealing Chains!

Unable to keep watching, Uzumaki Mito lashed out with an Adamantine Sealing Chain, binding the two of them together and sealing down the chakra in Tsunade's body that was about to go berserk.

"Let go!"

With a dark expression on her pretty face, Tsunade spoke in a low, icy voice filled with killing intent.

"I won't!"

A muffled voice emerged. Shimura Kentei was not stupid enough to let go. It was not as if he had failed to hear the killing intent in her voice.

He had only managed to catch her by surprise and hug her because he had taken the initiative this time, then locked her down with the battle suit's clasps. If he really let her go and allowed her to attack, he would definitely be beaten into a piss-soaked meatball.

As for why his voice was so muffled, there was no helping it. The abyss before him was simply too deep and dark. It was already impressive enough that his voice could get out at all.

"I'll say it one more time. Let go!"

"I won't!"

"Are you letting go or not?"

"Not even if I die!"

Seeing Shimura Kentei's firm attitude, Tsunade became even angrier and decisively lowered her head to bite the little pervert's ear.

"Hiss!"

The sharp pain in his ear made Shimura Kentei suck in a breath. There was no helping it; this abyss before him only contained fragrant hot air, not cold air. It could not contribute to global warming in the world of the Hokage.

Steeling himself, Shimura Kentei decisively unleashed the ultimate technique of a proper gentleman: using his mouth instead of his hands. Opening his mouth, he bit down hard as well.

"Mmph!"

Her beautiful eyes widened as fury rose in her heart. Tsunade bit down harder, and the taste of blood flowed into her mouth.

Shimura Kentei was the same. He tasted Abyssal Blood.

Watching the master and disciple deadlocked like that, Uzumaki Mito covered her face, unable to bear the sight. Shimura En and Shimura Kenpō beside her both looked utterly bewildered. Even Senju Nawaki, who had just run back clutching his stomach, was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

He had only flown away for a little while. How had his sister gotten together with his boss already, and right out in public under the bright sky?

It certainly suited his elder sister's bold personality, but was this not developing far too quickly?

"That's enough. Let go of each other. Look at yourselves, what kind of behavior is this?"

Unable to watch any longer, Uzumaki Mito spoke up and released the Adamantine Sealing Chains. The two of them truly looked indecent like this.

Knowing that this could not continue, Shimura Kentei released his bite and let go, then flung Tsunade away before quickly slipping over to Miss Mido's side for comfort.

"Miss Mido, look at how heartless your Tsunade is. She bit off my ear!"

Pointing at his left ear, more than half of which was gone, Shimura Kentei felt like crying.

He had not even come of age yet, and he had already become disabled. More importantly, it affected his looks!

"Pah!"

"You deserved it!"

Steadying herself, Tsunade spat out the ear she had bitten off. The fury in her heart burned fiercely.

If she had not needed to calm the out-of-control chakra within her body, she would have rushed over and smashed that brat into a piss-soaked meatball already!

Still, she had indeed been careless this time. She had not expected that brat to strike first, nor had she expected him to be so bold.

Thinking about it, though, the brat even dared to flirt with her grandmother. How could he possibly lack courage?

"It was only bitten off. Just reattach it and it'll be fine!"

While speaking to comfort him, Uzumaki Mito used a chakra chain to retrieve the ear Tsunade had spat out. She pressed it onto Shimura Kentei's left-ear wound, and Yang Release Chakra flowed through it, reconnecting the blood vessels, nerves, flesh, skin, and everything else.

Although her attainments in Medical Ninjutsu were not as great as her granddaughter Tsunade's, who specialized in the field, they were still not poor. A minor procedure like this was naturally no problem.

"Thank you, Miss Mido!"

Once his ear had been reattached, Shimura Kentei thanked her while giving Tsunade across from him a provocative look. He even licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Now that I've won over Miss Mido, having you or not hardly makes a difference.

That smug little look made Tsunade even angrier. Especially when she felt the pain in her chest, she nearly exploded from rage.

"Bang!"

With nowhere to vent her anger, Tsunade jumped up and knocked her younger brother on the head, scolding, "What the hell did you do, brat? How did you turn your body into this?"

She did know that her younger brother had been cultivating the secret technique given to him by that little brat to promote bodily development. She had even looked through the secret method obtained from her grandmother and had basically determined that there was nothing wrong with it.

But how had her foolish yet adorable little brother become this grotesque?

"Big Sis, this body of mine is great, right? Look at these developed biceps, then these pecs that are bigger than yours, and these sharply defined eight-pack abs..."

Senju Nawaki's eyes lit up as he proudly spoke again, striking a series of bodybuilding poses and fully displaying his explosively bulging muscles.

This was the result of his month of hard cultivation!

Thin veins throbbed on Tsunade's smooth, fair forehead. Her delicate hands clenched tightly as she forcefully suppressed the urge to punch him, feeling utterly miserable inside.

Especially after hearing that his pecs were bigger than hers. Though she was furious, she looked at her brother's pecs and then her own, only to discover with grief and indignation that her chest was indeed not as big as his pecs.

She had actually been outdone by her younger brother's chest muscles. What humiliation!

"Miss Mido, what happened to Nawaki? His height is one thing, but what is going on with that width and thickness?"

Shimura Kentei was also deeply puzzled. He had accidentally created that secret technique for accelerating physical development himself. Though he had never cultivated it, he generally understood its effects. Nawaki should not have become like this.

"It was my oversight. His cultivation had been going rather smoothly half a month ago. Then, during the latter half of the month, that brat said he wanted to cultivate in seclusion alone. Seeing that the secret technique's cultivation had already gotten on track, I did not think much of it. Who would have thought that he would consecutively cultivate Yang Release chakra and Yang Release Chakra, then take it upon himself to further stimulate his body? That's how he grew into this."

Uzumaki Mito looked full of regret. She had never imagined that this grandson's thoughts would be so unconventional that he would actively shape himself into such a nonhuman physique.

Had she known earlier, she would never have agreed to let that brat cultivate in seclusion alone. Then she would not have received such a great surprise.

"What? Nawaki cultivated Yang Release chakra and Yang Release Chakra?"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at her younger brother beside her in disbelief. She had never expected him to cultivate both Yang Release chakra and Yang Release Chakra in one go.

"That secret technique has that effect too? Does that mean Nawaki is now a Quasi-Kage Level powerhouse?"

Shimura Kentei was equally shocked. Nawaki was probably the youngest Quasi-Kage Level powerhouse in the shinobi world today.

"That's right. Lord Nawaki is now a genuine Quasi-Kage Level powerhouse. Once I learn the Monster Strength Technique, I'll definitely become the strongest among the Quasi-Kage Level with this mighty body. Then I'll be able to protect Big Sis and the village!"

With a proud expression, Senju Nawaki was incomparably satisfied with his achievements. There might have been some shortcuts involved, but he truly counted as a Quasi-Kage Level powerhouse now. At the very least, the quality of his chakra had met the standard.
