"Not only you—Yugito wasn't dead either."
Uchiha Akira was not a bloodthirsty person. He had left the two of them only a trace amount of Tailed Beast Chakra, just enough to keep them alive.
It would not affect his future ascension to a higher life form.
At present, the only path to ascension in this world was through the Ōtsutsuki. Only by evolving into an Ōtsutsuki could one truly gain control over one's own life!
"Teacher, have you already become this powerful?"
Asuma Sarutobi walked over, unable to imagine how despairing it would be if he had to face his teacher.
At that thought,
he could not help looking at Killer B and the others with a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Huh? That's not right."
Uchiha Akira suddenly stiffened, his gaze locking onto the System panel visible only to him in midair.
[Mission: Seal the Nine Tailed Beasts!] [Progress: 1/9!]
The mission progress was still 1/9, without the slightest change. He turned his gaze toward the second Immortal Sealing Gourd. The massive Eight-Tails Gyuki was sealed inside, but with a single glance, he noticed something unusual.
"Quite the trick. Severing its tail to survive."
A hint of interest rose on Uchiha Akira's lips.
"The Eight-Tails Gyuki's unique ability is truly convincing enough to pass for the real thing. Or rather, this really is the Eight-Tails Gyuki, except it contains only an extremely weak portion of its power."
In the original story,
Second Pillar had exhausted every effort to seal the Eight-Tails Gyuki, only for Killer B to use this move to evade the sealing. Even under the Mangekyō Sharingan's direct gaze, he had easily escaped with a decoy body.
That showed just how powerful the Eight-Tails Gyuki's disguise ability was!
"What? The Eight-Tails Gyuki escaped?"
