But with Hinata's very first attack...
"Roar!"
The Ten-Tails let out an agonized scream, then grew terribly weak.
Had Hinata not realized something was wrong and stopped in time, the Ten-Tails' mind would have been erased completely.
But if that happened, the Ten-Tails would become incredibly weak. It might even die.
Chakra was composed of mental energy and physical energy. Neither could be missing.
Attacking the Ten-Tails' mind, it now seemed, was not a good choice.
Hinata frowned. She did not want the Ten-Tails to retain its own consciousness, but she had no other option now.
Fortunately, she had not used Otsutsuki Kaguya's Ten-Tails.
The Sage of Six Paths had divided that Ten-Tails' chakra into nine portions, and its consciousness had split into ten.
Its own consciousness, plus those of the nine tailed beasts-using that Ten-Tails would have made things even more troublesome.
The fusion between the Evil God's Husk and the Ten-Tails proceeded very slowly.
Under Hinata's control, the Ten-Tails could do its best not to devour the Evil God's divine power, but as the fusion progressed, her control weakened.
No, her control was not weakening. The Ten-Tails was struggling more fiercely.
As it fused with the Evil God's Husk, each bit of progress consumed another portion of its chakra and body.
At first, it was hardly noticeable, but as time passed, less and less of its body and chakra remained.
In just over an hour, a quarter of the Ten-Tails' body had turned black.
That meant a quarter of its body had fused with the Evil God's divine power. That quarter of its body and chakra was gone for good.
Hinata had a feeling that once the fusion reached two-thirds completion, the Ten-Tails would go completely out of control.
It was not a matter of strength. At that
