Chapter 13: Enough!!! [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

Toneri, who was being held by a Kumogakure Anbu like a baby chick, slowly lifted his head.

"Hiss—"

Inside the sealing space, he had looked miserable, but in reality, Toneri felt nothing besides mental fatigue. But out here...

It really, truly hurt!

Cold air rose with Toneri's chest cavity and filled his lungs, pulling at the wounds all over his body.

Blood gushed out.

But this was secondary. The most painful part was his stomach, which had been kicked viciously!

At that moment, all the air was kicked out of his chest. When he inhaled again, the piercing pain made Toneri grit his teeth, and his forehead was instantly covered in a large amount of sweat.

It slid down his cheeks to his wounds, and the pain became more and more obvious...

Immediately after, his throat felt a sweetness, and a warm liquid uncontrollably tried to surge out.

"Cough cough..."

He choked.

However, all this blood was unreservedly splattered all over the other person.

Especially the originally pale Anbu mask, which looked exceptionally jarring with the bright red blood decorating it.

"Brat..."

The Kumogakure Anbu hidden behind the mask subconsciously frowned.

He didn't reject blood. In fact, as an Anbu, he was long accustomed to things like blood.

But that didn't mean he liked others spitting blood on him.

Mixed with saliva...

"Cough, cough, Kumogakure Anbu!" Toneri's slightly hoarse voice came from his throat.

Although spitting out that large mouthful of blood made his already pale complexion even paler, his body felt much lighter. At least he could speak without issue.

"Oh? You actually know about our special assassination unit! Kid, it seems you're really not simple.

So... where are you from? Land of Fire, Konoha? Tell me, and you can suffer a little less!"

The Anbu held Toneri, his short blade moving over Toneri's body.

He hadn't spoken before because he felt it was unnecessary, but now, if he could get some information from Toneri, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

The sharp short blade touched his skin, rubbing against it. That cold sensation made Toneri's skin subconsciously tense, once again pulling at his wounds.

Toneri bared his teeth, revealing two rows of teeth mixed with blood and saliva.

Ignoring the pain in his body, he writhed in the other person's hand.

Splat—

Seeing Toneri struggle, the Kumogakure Anbu didn't force him. He let go and directly threw him to the ground.

He flicked the blood off his hand and stared coldly at Toneri.

He wasn't worried that this kid could escape from him.

Originally, he could just follow the residual scent to find him. Now, with his scent all over the ground, was he afraid he wouldn't find him?

Although the air was filled with a faint mint scent, it wouldn't have a significant impact.

"Cough cough..."

Being thrown so casually caused a lot of blood to ooze from his wounds. The parts that had slightly dried up all cracked open again.

He trembled as he got up from the ground.

He braced himself on his knees and panted for a long time before finally standing upright.

The Kumogakure Anbu watched expressionlessly as this little guy struggled to get up from the ground.

Good willpower.

But that was all!

"Hehehe... Hehehehe... cough cough..."

Toneri, who had finally managed to stand up, suddenly started laughing.

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Kumogakure Anbu's eyes.

Is this guy an idiot?

He's in this state, and he can still laugh?

Did I kick him too hard just now and make this malnourished kid stupid?

How should I explain this when I get back?

Toneri grabbed his clothes and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As he pulled up his clothes, the scrutinizing eyes' pupils instantly contracted.

"This is! What is this!!!"

Seeing the sealing formula, the Kumogakure Anbu instinctively wanted to retreat.

Perhaps ordinary people wouldn't know what such a seal represented, but as one of the Anbu squad members specifically responsible for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, he recognized the seal's pattern with a single glance!

Within the entirety of Kumogakure, there truly weren't many people qualified to know this Sealing Jutsu!

He didn't have the qualifications to know the secrets contained within it.

However, he could be certain at this moment that whatever was sealed within such a powerful Sealing Jutsu must be their Anbu squad's target.

The Tailed Beast, the Two-Tails!

Originally, he felt it was overkill and beneath his talents for him, a specialized tracker Anbu Special Jonin, to track a child who couldn't even lift a chicken.

He only did it because of orders.

But just now, he suddenly felt that his presence as a Special Jonin was...

Not enough manpower!

The Anbu Ninja's expression became extremely solemn. He held his short blade horizontally in front of his chest with his right hand, resting it on his other hand. His feet were placed one in front of the other, with only his soles touching the ground.

He adopted a defensive stance, ready to change his movements at any moment.

Toneri's face remained smiling, and blood continued to flow from his wounds.

The Anbu Ninja opposite him, however, didn't dare to move.

He was clearly just an ordinary child.

A strong Anbu Ninja watched a child who could barely stand with apprehension.

But when this child was a Jinchuriki, things were different.

It meant he possessed a giant bomb capable of taking them both down at any moment, leaving no room for carelessness.

The two faced each other in the dense forest.

One minute passed...

Three minutes passed...

Five minutes passed...

After such a long time, the Kumogakure Anbu's tense posture began to falter.

The smile on Toneri's face also became a little stiff.

It seemed...

Big Beauty didn't react?

"Hey, Big Beauty... Stop joking..."

Toneri was a bit bewildered.

"Brat!!" The Anbu Ninja was enraged and ashamed. He couldn't believe he was being toyed with by a child!

It was practically an insult to his intelligence.

He forcefully pushed off the ground with his stiff legs.

Kicking up the withered leaves covering the forest floor.

Whoosh

He instantly appeared before Toneri, his right hand slashing towards Toneri's shoulder.

He swore this time he would only leave him with a single breath left!

Seeing the opponent disappear, Toneri's body immediately tensed. His left hand subconsciously moved to protect his head.

"Heh--"

At this precise moment.

A cold laugh suddenly appeared in Toneri's mind.

Immediately after, from the center of his stomach, a large amount of light blue substance, resembling bubbles and looking like highly condensed air, erupted.

The Tailed Beast Cloak!

Seeing this, the Anbu Ninja was utterly horrified and wanted to stop, but it was already too late.

He could only grit his teeth and slash with all his might, no longer caring about leaving the opponent alive.

He hadn't expected the Two-Tails to actually be sealed within the opponent!

But...

If the Tailed Beast Cloak were that easy to cut through, it wouldn't be called a Tailed Beast Cloak!

After all, even the Kubikiribōchō couldn't cut through the Three-Tails' Tailed Beast Cloak.

BANG!!

Toneri's arm was covered in a thick layer of light blue Chakra. Before the Anbu Ninja's short blade could strike, Toneri countered forcefully with his left hand, sending it flying!

BANG--BANG--

The thrown Anbu Ninja crashed through several small trees!

Meanwhile, the light blue Chakra on Toneri's body slowly began to transform into a dark red, exuding a wild aura!

This dark red Chakra flowed over his body, as if intending to engulf him completely!

On his back, a mass of special dark red Chakra bulged, like a lump, growing larger and larger, as if something was about to break free!

Chakra also began to cover Toneri's head, and on the top of his head...

two small, red cat ears appeared!

"ROAR—Enough!!!"

In an instant, a beast-like roar erupted from Toneri's mouth.

A fierce, howling aura blew all the dead branches and leaves on the ground scattering!
