Hm?

Fuyuki walked into the gloomy cave. Less than two minutes later, he came back out with a pained expression. "This is so inelegant, dragging a Tailed Beast all over the world. I remember the Land of Demons has a secret technique called the Eternal Transformation Technique or something—maybe the Glass Transformation Technique? Teach it to me!"

"Uh, it's the Shadow Mirror Body Transfer Technique. It requires inscribing talismans; it's not an ordinary ninjutsu." Miroku knew of the Moon Worm's secret technique. It was a super transformation technique passed down in secret by the Land of Demons. Once cast, it was impossible to dispel, and the caster would transform into another creature from the inside out.

"Right, the Shadow Mirror Body Transfer Technique. Set up the Talisman Formation here. I'll be right back!"

Fuyuki nodded, motioning for Miroku to start setting up the formation. Then he turned and walked back into the cave, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He couldn't wait to see what would happen after he humiliated Moryo like this.

Compared to a giant chakra battery, Fuyuki preferred a super-long-lasting battery the size of an action figure!

The deeper Fuyuki went into the cave, the hotter it became. He could even see things that looked like lava. Countless terracotta soldiers lay dormant in enormous pits.

"Who's there?"

Fuyuki hadn't even reached the main hall. He had just spotted its entrance when Yomi Sect followers blocked his way.

"Yomi Sect remnants, are you?"

With a candy bean from the Ancestor between his teeth, Fuyuki ignored the bunch of weak Chunin. Black Chakra Rods burst from the black mist covering his body, pinning them one by one to the ground and trapping them in an unbreakable genjutsu.

The Chakra Black Rods contained Fuyuki's will and could forcibly control the flow of an enemy's chakra.

If his opponent had a strong will and was powerful, Fuyuki could even ask Kaguya-hime's will to watch as they bullied her good-for-nothing grandson.

Fuyuki's Chakra Black Rods were actually a shape transformation of Spirit Binding, a form of Domination Magic. They had immense binding power and could strike directly at the soul. Now that they were combined with the Rabbit Goddess's will, they were practically a one-hit-kill technique akin to All-Killing Ash Bones.

Summoners in the Terra Demon World used Domination Magic on unruly Summoned Beasts, extracting their souls and whipping them into submission. It could also be called a long-awaited spiritual union.

That was exactly what Fuyuki planned to do to Moryo!

"Moryo, get out here and take your beating!"

Fuyuki entered the spacious main hall and immediately called for the master of the Underground Palace to come out and take a beating. He was so brazen that even Moryo's guards were stunned. They couldn't believe anyone would dare provoke Moryo, the otherworldly demon who had nearly destroyed the Ninja World and conquered the continent—the great demon king!

"Heh, what kind of rat are you, not even daring to show your real body!"

The sudden intruder roused 'Moryo' from its slumber, where it had been recovering its strength. A pitch-black dragon's head emerged from the lava pit and came close to Fuyuki. It seemed ready to chomp down on the Yin-Yang Spirit!

"Dream-Return Reality Palm!"

Fuyuki reflexively swatted the dragon's head away with his palm.

The enormous dragon head shot off as if fitted with a rocket booster, its long, snake-like neck swinging counterclockwise around the lava-filled cave. It even smashed into the Sealing Altar at the center of the cave, causing it to collapse.

Fuyuki wasn't using his real body. He was a clone formed from the Yin-Style Spirit and the Yang-Style Spirit.

The Yin-Style Spirit gave Fuyuki heightened perception.

The Yang-Style Spirit gave Fuyuki a powerful body.

The Ancestor's Chakra Candy had further amplified the effects of Yin-Yang Release, giving even a casual blow from the Yin-Yang Spirit the force of a Strength Enhancement Fist. And with Domination Magic and Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan—

Fuyuki could not only ride on Moryo's head and unleash a big move, he could even ask it to lend him some paper halfway through!

"Damn rat!"

After taking a Dream-Return Reality Palm, Moryo still hadn't realized its place. It let out a furious roar, its shockwaves causing the cave walls to start collapsing. The lava on the ground bubbled like boiling water, and one terrifying black dragon head after another poked out of it.

"Amaterasu!"

Fuyuki didn't feel like talking to Moryo. He used the Uchiha Clan's ancestral Amaterasu to burn the Black Dragon to a crisp.

Wherever he looked, flames ignited out of thin air. The supposedly strongest black flames could never be extinguished and were the perfect counter to giant monsters.

Whenever a Tailed Beast ran into Amaterasu, the Uchiha Clan could practically turn it into takoyaki, burning it however they pleased. Large Summoned Beasts had no way to resist!

With the Chakra Candy boosting him, and the Mangekyō Sharingan not being his own, Fuyuki used Amaterasu without the slightest restraint. He filled every open space in the cave with the inextinguishable black flames, slaughtering the Black Dragon heads in a frenzy.

In just two minutes, Moryo, which had nearly destroyed the Land of Demons; the immortal terracotta soldiers; and the Yomi Sect followers were all like children before Fuyuki, who was cheating his way through the fight. None of them could put up any effective resistance.

"The Mangekyō really is the ultimate weapon against Tailed Beasts."

Fuyuki muttered to himself, extinguished the black flames, and continued, "Moryo, is that all you've got? Weren't you just acting all high and mighty? Now you're pretending to be dead?"

"Come out. Don't make me go down there and find you. If I do, I won't just capture you as a pet!"

In Fuyuki's eyes, any giant beast that had a massive amount of chakra and wasn't humanoid was a pet.

These giant beasts only knew how to use brute force to solve problems and couldn't think strategically. They posed no threat to Fuyuki.

""

The cave fell silent as the grave. Moryo seemed to have found spiritual enlightenment in Amaterasu's flames, returned to hell, and died completely satisfied. But Fuyuki wasn't about to be fooled!

Shrine Maiden Miroku had said she'd dragged a Moryo out of the Land of Demons. So where was Moryo now?!

"What a badly behaved pet lizard!"

Fuyuki took a step forward and clapped his hands together, beginning to mold chakra. His chakra burst from his body with enough force to take solid form. A blood-red Demon Fox-Shaped Chakra let out a roar. "Spirit Binding Technique!"

The Yin-Yang Chakra Spirit stood only 1.65 meters tall, yet countless black chains shot from its body, imbued with a cold, dark aura. Barbed chains plunged into the scorching lava, hunting down a very badly behaved pet: the otherworldly monster Moryo!

"Roar!"

A purple light flashed, and a great many chakra chains snapped. Moryo finally showed its true form.

Moryo looked a lot like a slime, its whole body emanating an ominous black haze. The dragon heads were solid projections extending from its gelatinous body.

"Demon! Don't push me too far!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Fuyuki's eyes. He didn't understand why the chains of Domination Magic had been so easily broken by Moryo. But he didn't let his confusion show. He simply said, "You're only capable of throwing a tantrum when you can't do anything else."

He kept his chakra flowing steadily, and the missing black chains were quickly replaced. One barbed chain after another gnawed at Moryo, scraping gashes into its slime-like body and passing through it.

"Clank, clank, clank!"

The black chains pinned Moryo to the ground. More chains formed locks inside its body, immobilizing it. Even its mouth was pierced from top to bottom by metal chains, completely bound shut so it couldn't speak properly.

The art of talking an opponent to death was a privilege of the strong. The defeated could only blather or leave a final letter.

A final letter meant a written farewell.

A will meant distributing one's property.

Moryo was a beast itself. What right did it have to leave behind a will distributing its property? All it deserved was to leave a final letter!
