Swish!
Ao twisted in midair to absorb the force, then landed steadily on a tree trunk more than ten meters away. When he got a good look at the monster before him, his pupils shrank slightly.
"This is..."
Standing before him was a silverback gorilla ape fully ten meters tall. Its fur was as black as ink, and massive fangs jutted over its lips. Each breath sent out thick clouds of white vapor, and its appearance was ferocious beyond compare.
A Ninja Beast of this size was no ordinary creature in the Shinobi World. Even if it couldn't match the inner ranks of the Three Great Sage Regions, it was still among the finest of Ninja Beasts.
"Uchiha Ao, prepare to die!"
Just then, a voice dripping with venom came from the shadows of the dense woods.
A figure that left Ao somewhat "surprised" stepped out.
Takuno's face was twisted with rage and jealousy, his expression hideous.
"I'll gouge out those eyes of yours and turn you into a living corpse, then torture you every day!"
Takuno formed Hand Seals like a madman, his eyes bloodshot.
Vmmm—!
The air rumbled as several golden Chakra chains shot out from behind Takuno. They glimmered with golden light, each link engraved with complex sealing runes. Like countless winding golden serpents, they surged in from every direction to pin Ao down.
Sealing Technique: Adamantine Attacking Chains!
"So it was you, you little simp."
Ao threw his head back and laughed. Facing this Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique, powerful enough to seal a Tailed Beast, he wasn't the least bit alarmed. He casually tossed the barely alive Ivanka into the distance, and the Chakra throughout his body surged to its absolute peak.
"You want to kill me? Chains this weak can't hold a lion!"
