Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki

The ominous Chakra erupted here, growing even more vivid as blood-red Chakra swept across the entire field.

In an instant, a heavy sense of dread pressed down on everyone's heart.

Under the impact, the clustered insects burst apart, revealing Tsunade's figure within.

The dead insects instantly lost their connection with Mimi, while every insect that remained alive transmitted feelings of fear.

Tsunade was wrapped all over in crimson Chakra. The Chakra draped over her body like a cloak, and her beautiful eyes had transformed into the savage glare of a beast.

Nine-Tails!

"That detestable woman!" In the distance, Old Man Shion stomped his Walking Stick angrily.

Mimi was in danger.

Shiki exchanged a glance with Old Man Shiho.

Before the Crystal Ball, the Third Hokage took a deep breath, still remembering the terrifying figure from his childhood memories, as frightening as a natural disaster.

"Lady Mito really went too far."

He could not help giving a bitter smile.

It was obvious that she had used a Sealing Technique to give Tsunade a mass of Nine Tails Chakra, but this level was already extremely formidable.

"The Nine-Tails..."

The Red Eye and Byakugan both turned toward Mimi.

"So, how will you deal with this?"

On the tree, Uzumaki Mito revealed a confident smile that also looked like the smile of someone who had successfully played a prank. With unmistakable smugness, she spoke to the surrounding Anbu.

"To actually force Little Tsunade to this point, you're really impressive, Insect Princess."

Looking at Tsunade's appearance, she revealed a satisfied smile.

The results of the secret special training were now clear. Tsunade's adaptability training for Nine Tails Chakra had gone very well. If Tsunade was willing, it would not be impossible for her to inherit the Nine-Tails' power.

That was what she had planned.

"To become Hokage, absolute power is indispensable."

The surrounding Senju Anbu watched their princess's imposing might and could not help smiling.

The people in the village should be satisfied now, right?

Look! This was the power of the Senju Clan!

Beneath her mask, Mimi grinned, the smile curling up at the corners of her mouth.

When had it happened? The storm stirred up by the Butterfly had already begun to reveal itself.

The Tsunade before her was not the Tsunade in her memories, yet she was still Tsunade.

The Nine-Tails' power? It seemed they planned to raise Tsunade into the Fourth Hokage.

But this was an opportunity!

Could she eat Nine Tails Chakra?

Mimi licked her lips.

She only needed a little piece!

Who knew when an opportunity like this would come again?

The Giant Kikaichu was enough to bite off a large chunk.

After thrusting out her sword, she suddenly brought her hands together.

Insect Secret Technique. Iron Armor Cocoon Dance. Insect Poison Cloak

Purple particles burned like flames and rose from her entire body. Her pure-white robes were dyed a dangerously eerie dark purple, as if she had draped a purple cloak over herself.

With the help of the Nano-Insects, Mimi spread Chakra throughout her entire body.

It formed armor made of Chakra.

The nature transformation of wind had been incorporated into it.

Air density!

The gorgeous purple particle ribbons dancing around her were both beautiful and dangerous.

Against attacks from ninjutsu or Chakra, it possessed outstanding defensive power thanks to its ability to absorb Chakra.

Although she did not have much Chakra left, once the battle began, the Nine-Tails would have plenty of Chakra.

Mimi could borrow a tiny bit.

From the outside, she looked no different for the moment from Tsunade, who was enveloped in the Tailed Beast Cloak.

She could actually achieve this level!

Looking at Mimi like this, Tsunade widened her eyes.

Could it be that she also possessed the power of a Tailed Beast?

"Mimi!!!"

Without thinking any further, Tsunade let out a roar and crouched down like a beast.

Mimi, meanwhile, drew her sword and stood ready.

She did not shout Tsunade's name at the top of her lungs.

With that energy, she might as well strike a little harder.

The battle was about to erupt.

Tsunade suddenly charged straight at her, fierce and violent. The footholds beneath her feet shattered one after another along the way.

At the same time, Mimi charged forward without showing the slightest weakness.

Insect Secret Technique. Bee Dance. Thrust

Her speed erupted to its full extent in an instant, carrying her rapidly across the ground in a perfectly straight line.

Compared with accelerating by sliding, running had a faster burst of speed!

And greater force!

The explosive roar of wind repeatedly rose beside her ears.

It was a clash of needle against needle.

Tsunade violently swung her fist!

Under her powerful Chakra control, the crimson Chakra clearly formed a gigantic fist imprint.

It slammed straight toward the tip of Mimi's thrusting sword!

"The sword will break!"

Someone declared.

"Not necessarily."

Another person held the opposite opinion.

The next second!

"This ends here!"

As a figure suddenly flashed into the middle of the field, thick Chakra chains shot out, rushing toward Mimi and Tsunade respectively.

In an instant, they bound both of them tightly.

Their attacks were forcibly stopped.

The person who had arrived was Uzumaki Mito, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

The onlookers erupted in astonishment and commotion, though it was impossible to tell whether they were disappointed or felt something else.

Four Anbu landed around Mito right afterward. They looked as if they wanted to step forward and hold Tsunade and Mimi down, yet were wary enough not to approach, leaving them in an awkward state.

Tsunade aside.

The dangerous purple cloak around Mimi was lethal even to anyone who came too close.

They all knew that much in their hearts.

"Grandma Mito!" Seeing the person who had intervened, Tsunade shouted in a coquettish, childlike voice. Somewhat unwillingly, she said, "I was almost going to win!"

On the other side, Mimi did not comment. Seeing her opportunity fly away, she felt somewhat frustrated. She drove her insects to bite through the Adamantine Sealing Chains without making a sound, breaking free of the restraint.

Seeing this, Tsunade struggled furiously in anger, but breaking free was not so easy.

"You, what did I warn you about before?" Uzumaki Mito asked with a smile.

"Ah..." Tsunade's entire face scrunched up as she said softly, "I mustn't use this power against my comrades in the village."

"Then what did you do?"

Uzumaki Mito asked as though reprimanding her.

But she had given Tsunade this power precisely because she knew Tsunade would use it.

"I..." She was a little unwilling to admit fault. Gradually, Tsunade reined in the Nine-Tails' Chakra, then her eyes shifted. She pointed at Mimi and said righteously, "That woman is terrifyingly strong! I can't beat her without using it! I wouldn't use this technique against anyone else!"

"Should I blame myself?" Mimi replied.

"It's all your fault!" Tsunade shouted furiously.

Mimi ignored Tsunade and brought her hands together, putting away the Insect Poison Cloak.

There was no point keeping it out when the fight could not continue. Time to take in the laundry before it rained.

"Don't ignore me! You damn insect girl!"

"Tsunade!" Mito chided.

"Grandma! She called me Big Forehead!"

"Big Forehead," Mimi said.

"See!!" Tsunade shrieked.

She really dared to say it.

The many shinobi surrounding them looked at Mito and simultaneously broke into a cold sweat.

Mito looked at Mimi with a beaming smile, her expression unreadable, and said, "You really are adorable, Insect Princess."

"Not at all! She's nowhere near as cute as me! I don't even know what she looks like!" Hearing this, Tsunade immediately objected.

"Tsunade!" Mito raised her voice.

Tsunade wisely shut her mouth and glared at Mimi indignantly.

Mimi looked toward Mito and asked, "How is the exam judged?"

"A draw. How does that sound?" Mito replied.

Mimi nodded in agreement.

She turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Mito called out to Mimi.

"Will you become my disciple?"

"Who? You?" Mimi asked.

"The person with the strongest Sealing Technique in the village," Mito said with a smile.

"Done!" Mimi answered decisively.

The many shinobi around them looked at the two of them, their expressions indescribably complicated.

"No! I don't want to! I don't want to!" Tsunade began shouting hysterically, almost in tears.

But no one paid her any attention.

Silly child.

Mito glanced at Tsunade. I'm doing this for you, after all.
