"These inherently evil humans always covet the power of us Tailed Beasts, yet they turn around and call us evil."
"Kid, since you are one of them, then regardless of whether you have any connection to that Six Paths Old Man, you will die here today."
After gradually understanding what was happening, Shukaku's tone calmed down significantly, but the aura emanating from his body became incredibly dangerous.
At the same time, a massive amount of purple Yin Chakra and blue Yang Chakra rapidly gathered in front of Shukaku's large mouth. In a 2:8 Yin-Yang ratio, they gradually mixed and compressed into a terrifying sphere of chakra.
"A Tailed Beast Bomb! It's a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
"Is he trying to destroy the village?"
Before Chiba could even react, the surrounding Sunagakure Ninjas instantly fell into a panic.
There was no helping it; for the vast majority of people in this world, the power of a Tailed Beast Bomb, which could easily level a mountain, was far too terrifying.
If even the slightest thing went wrong, their lives—or even the entire Sunagakure—would be gone.
"What are you panicking about? If a real problem arises, I will step in!"
Seeing the panicked expressions of the Sand Ninjas, Rasa spoke with a calm and composed look, appearing completely at ease.
After all, he had suppressed a rampaging Shukaku more than once before.
He had naturally blocked things like Tailed Beast Bombs in the past.
"Rise!"
To put the Sunagakure side at ease, Rasa raised his hands, and a massive amount of gold dust flew into the air, forming rows of slanted Gold Dust Giant Walls.
Clearly, if Chiba could not handle the Tailed Beast Bomb, he would use these Gold Dust Giant Walls to deflect it high into the sky.
"However, this so-called Tenseigan shouldn't be unable to handle a single Tailed Beast Bomb, right?"
After finishing all this, Rasa stood amidst the worshipful expressions of the surrounding Sand Ninjas, who were thinking, "Thank goodness, it's Lord Kazekage; we are saved." His gaze remained fixed on the green figure in the air.
"Orochimaru-sama, what should we do now?"
Kimimaro, leading the rather disheveled Sound Four, approached Orochimaru, who had already dispelled the Great Snake Summoning Technique and returned to his original form, and asked him.
The battle had developed to a point where they could no longer participate.
Even Kimimaro, the strongest among them, had absolutely no confidence in being able to block a single Tailed Beast Bomb.
Even if a miracle occurred and he truly managed to barely block a Tailed Beast Bomb, it wouldn't hold much significance.
After all, for a Tailed Beast like Shukaku, a move as catastrophic as a Tailed Beast Bomb in the eyes of humans is essentially no different from its basic attack.
"Since Chiba-kun dares to covet the Tailed Beast's Chakra, he must have some degree of certainty; it is even less likely that he would be stopped by a single Tailed Beast Bomb."
"To obtain that pair of Tenseigan, I must bring out some real skills."
"What a pity, Teacher Hiruzen. This move was originally prepared for you, but now it must be used on someone else first."
"Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!"
Following Orochimaru's fluid motions—biting his finger, forming hand seals, and slamming his palm onto the ground—two coffins, marked with the characters for "First" and "Second" respectively, rose from the ground.
A coffin marked with the character for "Fourth" emerged only halfway before it seemed to fail certain conditions and sank back into the earth.
Soon, as the coffins marked "First" and "Second" opened automatically, two figures stepped out.
"Where is this—the Land of Wind, Sunagakure?"
"That is—the One-Tail Shukaku I once distributed to Sunagakure. And who is that green one opposite it?"
"The green Chakra Cloak on his body looks quite good. If only I could have one too."
One of the figures, a middle-aged man with long black hair, wearing a black tight combat suit underneath red layered armor, a Konoha forehead protector, and cracks across his face, looked around with a bobbing head. His gaze finally settled on Shukaku, who was about to fire a Tailed Beast Bomb, and Chiba opposite it. In his eyes, filled with surprise and confusion, there was even a faint trace of longing.
"This isn't my 'Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu,' is it? I never imagined that someone would learn it and then use it on me?"
The other figure, a man with silver hair and red eyes, wearing a black tight combat suit, a mask-style iron forehead protector, three red marks on his cheeks, blue layered armor over his suit, a white down collar on his shoulders, a Konoha forehead protector, and similar cracks on his face, looked slightly more "mature." He examined his current state and spoke with a displeased expression.
"First Hokage, and Second Hokage, welcome to the future Sunagakure."
Orochimaru took out two kunai embedded with special talismans and inserted them into the backs of the heads of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. During the process, he said without much genuine apology, "I know you must have many questions right now, but I don't have much time to let you understand the current situation."
"You only need to act as my tools from here on out and help me obtain Hyuga Chiba's Tenseigan."
As the special kunai were inserted, the cracks on the faces of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama gradually vanished, and they began to look more like living people.
But at the same time, their eyes completely lost their luster, becoming puppets at the mercy of Orochimaru.
"Chiba-kun, let me see what kind of brilliant performance you have in store next."
After finishing his preparations, Orochimaru turned his gaze back to Hyuga Chiba.
"BOOM!"
No sooner said than done; after a brief charge, Shukaku did not hesitate to unleash the prepared Tailed Beast Bomb toward Chiba.
However, this Tailed Beast Bomb, which should have easily obliterated a mountain peak, came to a sudden halt in mid-air just before it could strike Chiba, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Immediately following this, the Tailed Beast Bomb began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking closely, one would notice that a green Chakra Orb the size of a soccer ball was hovering above the palm of Chiba's left hand.
Shukaku's Tailed Beast Bomb was being rapidly absorbed by the Green Chakra Orb, simultaneously converted into pure Chakra compatible with Chiba, and surging into his internal body.
In this way, the Chakra Chiba had consumed was replenished in an instant, and the duration of his Tenseigan Chakra Mode would be significantly extended.
He is actually capable of directly absorbing the Chakra of the One-Tail Shukaku?
Seeing this scene, Rasa's expression changed abruptly, and he could no longer maintain his original composure.
No matter how much confidence he had in himself, after witnessing the power of Chiba's Tenseigan with his own eyes, he had to admit that once his opponent truly obtained the near-infinite and massive Chakra of a Tailed Beast, there would be no possibility of him ever defeating the other party!
