Absorption Chakra Ability of Yachihoko

Near the bonfire.

The Uchihas in hooded black robes lowered their heads. Red light was reflected in their eyes, and their expressions were gloomy.

Ingetsu's expression was calm. He gripped the Black Sword Dark Moon in his right hand and formed the 'Chen' seal with his left.

This was the finishing seal for Wind Release.

Several Uchihas recovered from their grief and stared blankly at their Yinyue Captain, unable to understand what was happening.

In the Ninja World, generally speaking, ordinary people were born with multiple Chakra natures.

After becoming ninjas, they would choose one or two Chakra natures to cultivate and master their nature transformations.

Once they became proficient in a nature transformation, the power of that nature's Ninjutsu would increase tremendously.

To become a jonin, one needed to be proficient in the nature transformations of at least two Chakra natures.

As for the Uchiha Clan, which possessed the Sharingan, once their eyes opened, if their Eye Power and number of tomoe were sufficient, the Sharingan would naturally grant them the ability to copy Ninjutsu.

After observing a large number of Ninjutsu, it would allow some Uchihas, who were naturally born with all five Chakra natures, to master the nature transformations of those five Chakra natures more quickly.

Ingetsu gathered his thoughts and calmly watched Dark Moon.

The prerequisite for releasing Wind Release was to transform the nature of Chakra and simulate wind, using the properties of gas pressure to make the Chakra achieve effects such as extremely strong penetration and razor-sharp cutting.

The Chen seal completed the sequence.

The Chakra Ingetsu had refined flowed rapidly through his meridians, faintly showing signs of condensing into wind as it surged toward his throat.

Just as when he had previously condensed the nature transformation of Fire Release.

Ingetsu guided this Wind Release Chakra into his right hand. He could clearly feel the rapidly flowing energy squeezing into the Chakra meridians in his right arm.

His right hand began to ache faintly.

As if pierced by ten thousand needles.

Sensing the Wind Release Chakra through his skin, Dark Moon released dense black mist just as it had last time, enveloping Ingetsu's right arm.

The black mist absorbed Chakra through his skin and slowly guided it into the blade of Dark Moon.

The pain in his right arm disappeared.

Vibrato—

The previously pitch-black Dark Moon suddenly trembled and rang. Its blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, flowing with an ethereal stream of black mist and wind.

The blade continued to tremble faintly, as if high-frequency vibrating particles had caused Dark Moon's appearance to become visually distorted.

At this moment, Dark Moon seemed capable of slicing even the air apart.

Its extreme sharpness was the most direct proof.

For a moment, the surrounding air began to surge.

The Uchihas, who had been immersed in sorrow, sensed the sharpness that had suddenly appeared in the air. They abruptly raised their heads and stared at Dark Moon, their pupils shrinking.

Ingetsu blinked and, amid the Uchihas' dumbfounded stares, placed Dark Moon, now imbued with Wind Release Chakra, into the flames.

Vibrato—

The flames trembled.

To everyone's astonishment, the flames sliced by Wind Release Dark Moon created the illusion that they had been cut in half and had stopped burning.

At the point where Wind Release Dark Moon hovered, the flames were displaced and scattered by dense streams of wind.

The Uchihas stared intently at Dark Moon and swallowed. They had witnessed the entire process of Ingetsu manipulating Dark Moon.

Clearly, their Yinyue Captain could use this mysterious black sword to complete both Chakra nature transformation and Chakra shape transformation.

This meant that Ingetsu did not need to form hand seals like they did. He could release Ninjutsu through the black sword!

This was completely different from simply adding Wind Release Chakra to an ordinary weapon to increase its sharpness.

Ingetsu slowly rose, continuing to channel Wind Release Chakra into Dark Moon. He walked to the edge of the forest, assumed the stance for Battōjutsu, and began charging his strength.

A fierce wind suddenly rose.

Ingetsu drew his sword, expending ten percent of his Chakra. Through Dark Moon, he completed the Chakra shape transformation and released Wind Release Chakra sharpened to the extreme.

Compared to Fire Release, which naturally possessed the effect of scorching with high temperatures,

the fierce Wind Release was more suitable for long-range projection.

Beneath the moonlight, a black blade gleam swept across the darkness. A crescent-shaped gust, like ink splashed across the sky, surged outward. In an instant, wind rolled up sand and dust, and the trees in the forest trembled slightly.

"Whew—"

Ingetsu sheathed his sword, his expression calm as he stood in place and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The Uchihas held their breath. When they saw that nothing had happened, they relaxed.

At that moment.

Flap flap—

Birds burst into flight from the forest, and herds of animals scattered.

Immediately afterward.

Explosions like Exploding Tags rang out one after another in the forest. The trees struck by the black gusts earlier, regardless of their size, burst apart one after another. It was as if dense energy had penetrated and disintegrated their interiors. None escaped.

Ingetsu's expression remained calm.

Just as he had expected.

Wind Release Dark Moon was more suited to releasing Chakra shape-transformation attacks from a distance.

"Is this Wind Release?"

Kurenai Yuhi, Uchiha Mikoto, and the others widened their beautiful eyes. Their lips trembled, and their heartbeats quickened.

Suddenly.

In the Uchihas' eyes, a surge of blue air currents reflected and expanded. It ignited from Ingetsu's body, dazzlingly bright in the darkness of the night.

The Yachihoko rings rotated and appeared in Ingetsu's pupils.

After adapting to it over the past few days,

he had already mastered Yachihoko's control over other people's minds. He could brainwash them, and he could also control their bodies through mental manipulation.

As for controlling Chakra,

Ingetsu had previously attempted to develop a method that would cause others to suffer backlash from their own Chakra.

Now, he was going to try mastering the final ability inherent to Yachihoko.

Absorbing Chakra!

As his deep-blue Chakra burned across his body, under Yachihoko's guidance, Ingetsu could clearly observe that the people around him who had been branded by Yachihoko were like prey caught in a spiderweb.

Threads woven by Yachihoko connected them.

Ingetsu's expression was impassive as he closed his eyes.

Using the Yachihoko brands as a medium, he forcibly extracted the Chakra within the Uchihas, Kurenai Yuhi, and Nono Yu.

The bodies of the group automatically condensed Chakra.

Streams of Chakra poured into Ingetsu's body.

The blue Chakra currents around Ingetsu grew even more vigorous. The waves of energy stirred up sand and dust at his feet, while large patches of nearby grass were pressed flat.

He extracted fifty percent of the Chakra within everyone's bodies.

He drew his sword.

He swung it.

He slashed toward the night sky. In an instant, a black gust dozens of yards wide shot out like a full moon bursting forth. Fierce beyond compare, it transformed into a black ring and pierced through the sky.

That slash was like the Milky Way pouring down, splitting open a visible gap in the clouds that obscured the moonlight.

The Uchihas' scalps prickled, and they stared at Ingetsu's back in disbelief.

Could those two slashes just now really be something a ninja could unleash so easily?

As long as I have enough Chakra, this kind of Wind Release attack should be able to cut through Susanoo's defenses.

Ingetsu sheathed his sword and withdrew Yachihoko. The blue currents around his body dispersed.

He did not stop channeling Wind Release Chakra into Dark Moon. Dark Moon continued to tremble faintly, its sharpness chilling to behold.

Only this time, Ingetsu had used Yachihoko to absorb everyone's Chakra and continuously charge Dark Moon.

This meant that

bringing the Uchihas with him was like carrying Chakra power banks.

Under the shocked gazes of the other Uchihas, Ingetsu returned to his seat beside the bonfire and took the roasted boar down from the fire rack.

What happened next made the Uchihas' eyes widen as they inwardly cried out at such wastefulness!

Ingetsu held Wind Release Dark Moon and carefully sliced the boar meat. Wherever the blade passed, he did not need to exert the slightest force. It smoothly and evenly cut through the bones and flesh.

"Captain Ingetsu, this..."

Uchiha Nanfeng looked anxious and wanted to stop him, but truly did not know how to begin.

If the Uchiha Clan still existed, judging from the potential displayed by this mysterious black sword, it would undoubtedly be honored as a treasured heirloom of the clan.

It was most likely a divine weapon on the same level as the ancestral 'Flame Fan'. Since it was a divine weapon, how could it be used to cut food?

No!

The honest and simple Uchiha Nanfeng was heartbroken. He decisively rose to his feet.

He decided to do something for this divine weapon—at the very least, stop the captain from desecrating it!
