Pack It Up

During the launch, Eve split open like a flower bud. Flat, broad tentacles unfolded one after another across the surface of her body. As she spun like a top, a storm took shape.

Insect Secret Technique: Fang Passing Fang

The rapidly spinning tentacles whirled like propeller blades. Everything blocking their path was shredded beneath the cutting tentacles.

Mimi had no idea what kind of mental state the Inuzuka Clan had been in when they developed this technique. There wasn't even a drill—did they just ram things headfirst?

It hadn't displayed the killing power it should have.

As the tentacles whipped around at high speed, terrifying cutting scars spread chaotically across the ground, and swathes of trees were sent flying.

Seeing the enormous Whirlwind Drill coming straight at them, the three Jinchuriki each leaped up, escaping its range.

Who was it targeting?

It wasn't targeting anyone. The drill's whirlwind passed between the three of them without hitting a single one.

Had it missed?

The next second, all three narrowed their eyes at once. The drill before them suddenly expanded, and the rapidly extending blade tentacles flew about chaotically. As they passed beside the three, they interwove into a net of blades and came crashing down over their heads.

Had they ever seen bacterial flagella?

Based on where they grew, they could be divided into monotrichous flagella, with a single flagellum growing from one end of the bacterium. A sperm cell, for example, had one at its tail end.

Lophotrichous flagella, with a tuft of flagella growing from one or both ends.

And finally, peritrichous flagella, with flagella densely covering the body.

West Loli Eve belonged to the peritrichous type.

Her entire body was made of flagella. Even the main body, which looked like a young girl, was formed through flagella mimicry.
