Green Vest

Chapter 14: Green Vest [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

Toneri instinctively counterattacked, sending the Anbu Ninja flying with a casual flick.

He let out a roar, forcefully interrupting the Two-Tails' continued chakra output.

The Two-Tails' chakra, which had almost condensed into a tangible form, was already close to completely enveloping him.

Only his face managed to escape at the last moment.

Fortunately, he had stopped the Two-Tails in time, preserving his handsome appearance!

Two small, delicate cat ears adorned his head, appearing lively yet not at all out of place.

The area around the upper part of his face was already covered in dense chakra.

His limbs were pressed tightly against the ground.

Like a leopard poised to strike!

The Tailed Beast Cloak, which had been changing to a dark red, now slowly transformed back to a light blue.

The bulging mass of chakra energy on his back ultimately failed to break through!

The tail, representing the Tailed Beast, failed to form.

Toneri had stopped the Two-Tails' chakra from eroding his will at the last moment!

It was just a little bit short.

Once the light blue Tailed Beast Cloak had fully transformed into dark red, and the tail from the energy mass on his back had burst forth, it would have been truly uncertain who would ultimately control this body.

After all, the seal on Toneri was not very strong to begin with.

If he completely lost consciousness, it wasn't impossible for the Two-Tails to fully break free and regain its freedom.

But now!

Control of the body still belonged to Toneri!

"Tch--"

In Toneri's mind, that voice, which made no effort to hide its disdain, sounded out again.

The Tailed Beast Cloak had not fully formed!

This meant that although Toneri now possessed a portion of the Two-Tails' chakra, it wasn't enough to grant him immense power instantly!

Not enough for him to effortlessly crush the Kumo Ninja Anbu he had just sent flying!

But regardless, Toneri had finally escaped his fate of being prey to be slaughtered.

He now possessed the ability to resist!

His four limbs, still pressed to the ground, exerted force simultaneously, charging directly at the Anbu Ninja who had been thrown and disoriented.

Although the Anbu Ninja had been caught off guard, he was, after all, a competent ninja, and specifically an Anbu Ninja tasked with special missions!

He was a Special Jonin!

Seeing Toneri charging at him, the Anbu Ninja sheathed his short blade with utmost speed, his hands moving rapidly, forming a dazzling array of hand seals.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Snake!"

He uttered a low cry.

Threads of blue, shimmering electricity instantly condensed in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a winding, thin blue snake, trailing fine sparks, and shot towards Toneri!

Ninjutsu! Lightning Style Ninjutsu!

Toneri couldn't clearly see the opponent's movements or actions before, but after gaining the Two-Tails' power, he could now see the sequence of the opponent's hand seals, and even the precision of each individual seal.

His heart settled.

His running speed did not decrease; instead, he increased the force in his limbs, accelerating further.

Facing the incoming Lightning Snake, he met it head-on with his right claw without hesitation!

Boom!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The Two-Tails was a Tailed Beast skilled in using fire-style chakra, so Toneri simply waved his hand, conjuring flames on his front claw.

Lightning crackled!

His body momentarily faltered.

The tingling sensation from the electricity lasted only an instant before disappearing.

The Anbu Ninja opposite him felt increasingly helpless as his ninjutsu had failed to have any effect.

But he did not intend to give up resisting.

The short blade he had just sheathed reappeared in his hand.

He gripped the knife in a reverse hold, facing Toneri directly with the blade, the back of the blade resting against his elbow, keeping the short blade as close to his arm as possible.

A flash of red light streaked past, and flaming claws fiercely swept across the opponent's blade!

Toneri didn't become hesitant in his attack just because the opponent defended with a sharp weapon.

BOOM!!

The Anbu Ninja felt a tremendous force slam into his body, his braced arm seeming to have no effect.

He tasted what Toneri had experienced before—that suffocating feeling of his lungs being completely emptied, followed by darkness before his eyes!

This alone, of course, was far from enough!

Otherwise, how could he possibly make up for all the injuries Toneri had sustained!

He pushed off with his limbs again, the speed at which the opponent was sent flying backward not even matching his own pursuit speed!

Extending his hands, his sharp, pointed nails made his hands look nothing like human palms.

Chakra swirled around them, moving up and down.

Before, how the opponent had bullied him... now...

He'd return it all!

Even worse!

Toneri knew the physical structure of a person, especially an adult's, all too well. He knew how to inflict pain without being fatal, and he had considerable experience.

Now it seemed he was no worse than the opponent!

SWISH-SWISH-SWISH--

His sharp claws left gash after gash on the opponent's body.

CRASH--

He fell heavily onto the ground.

By now, his pristine white fox mask was completely soaked in blood.

Covered in blood, it was nothing more than this!

Toneri, on all fours, panted heavily. With each breath, the surrounding leaves were stirred.

But then he suddenly stopped!

"As expected of the Two-Tails' chakra. The negative emotions filling this chakra are truly terrifying!

To still be clear-headed now, after a while longer, I'd probably be consumed by this energy even if the Two-Tails didn't actively invade.

I must finish this quickly!"

Ultimately, it was just an ordinary human body, not having undergone training or the baptism of chakra. To accept the Two-Tails' chakra like this without losing his mind immediately was already a testament to Toneri's outstanding willpower!

He could manage it for a short time, but over a longer period, he would slowly become lost in this immense power.

Furthermore, his body felt like it couldn't hold on any longer, his skin feeling a tearing pain.

He made a decision in his heart immediately.

Toneri, still on the ground, slowly bent his limbs towards the earth.

From a distance, he looked somewhat like a cannon ready to fire.

Cannon in position!

His mouth opened slightly...

Even though his face still looked human at this moment, it didn't stop him from gathering the chakra within his body.

A thumb-sized black sphere began to form at the edge of Toneri's mouth.

This small, black mass, condensed from an unknown material, seemed to possess infinite gravitational pull!

The light blue chakra of the Two-Tails enveloping Toneri converged madly towards the black sphere.

In the surrounding air, countless unknown energy bubbles, resembling blue bubbles, continuously appeared.

In the blink of an eye, this mass of energy grew from thumb-sized to fist-sized!

This was one of the Tailed Beasts' unique ultimate techniques, the Tailed Beast Ball!

Also known as, the Spiral Heaven-Piercing Cannon You Definitely Can't Dodge Technique!

Its power was immense!

Its destructive force was terrifying!

Once it was formed, Toneri felt he had been a bit overconfident, having overestimated his body's capacity.

This dense mass of chakra energy was simply not something he could control at this moment!

BOOM--

The immense recoil sent Toneri flying backward, having lost most of the Two-Tails' chakra protection!

However, the Tailed Beast Ball, which wasn't even a complete version, was successfully launched!

A massive gash was carved out, the surrounding trees were knocked askew, and anything relatively close to the Tailed Beast Ball instantly evaporated, turning into dust!

Even Toneri, who had seen his fair share of the world, was deeply shaken by the destructive power of that Tailed Beast Ball, as he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye!

This was the destructive power that Chakra could unleash!

Immediately after, he felt an unusual fatigue in his body, and the remaining Two-Tails Chakra slowly dissipated from him.

The heaviness of his eyelids forced him to slowly close them.

Plink--

"This time, I've really gotten myself into big trouble..."

But before his eyes could fully close, a strange voice abruptly sounded in his ear.

His heart jolted, and he tried to force his eyes open, but found himself lacking the strength.

However, before his eyes completely shut, he vaguely saw something.

A green... vest?

Green?
