"Do you know you were wrong now? Or have you had enough fun?"
Jin's voice was quiet, and his tone barely changed.
"Looks like fists and 'talking' alone didn't teach you how to submit."
As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly.
"W-wait! Human—no, boss! So you can use Magnet Release too... You could've said so sooner!"
Shukaku knelt on the ground, its massive body already trembling uncontrollably.
If it had known Jin could use Magnet Release, why would it have bothered with all those little tricks?
It would've just done and said whatever it was told.
"Magnet Release?" Jin shook his head. "I just learned it from you."
He didn't hide the truth; there was no need to.
But when the words reached Shukaku's ears, they stirred up a tremendous storm in its heart.
He'd just learned it!
Those few simple words revealed something even more terrifying than the beating it had just received!
"Haah... haah..."
It took several deep breaths, trying to calm its fear.
But the more it breathed, the more frightened it became.
Even the hairs on its body began to tremble.
This wasn't just strength. This was—true terror! Inhuman!
Could someone really learn this kind of Kekkei Genkai just like that?!
It didn't doubt that Jin was telling the truth. Someone this powerful had no need to lie...
Without warning, Shukaku suddenly felt a sharp pain!
Its body, its mind, even its soul seemed to be reliving the beating it had just taken.
Pain washed over it, and fear seized it!
It!
Was already starting to babble incoherently!
Overwhelmed by terror, Shukaku had no idea what to do.
Jin had learned its Magnet Release, and casually stripped away its sealing power. What other trump cards did it have?
Talking...
Right!
Talking!
