Parasitism X Domination
Chosen at close range by that massive energy wave, Roy, despite relying on [Rebirth from a Drop of Blood], was fearless. He was also shocked by the power the Nine-Tails, even in its sealed state, could display. An A-rank creature, even if not as ferocious as the towering Sandworm Netero, Linne, and his grandfather Jager encountered at the entrance to the Uzuki Forest when they first arrived on the Dark Continent, could still unleash an attack no less powerful than his father Silva's full-force Nen Bullet, even under extreme suppression...
Roy stood atop the cage, looking down at the Nine-Tails. The "Flesh Bud" within him thrashed and writhed, screaming and howling, its hunger reaching a frenzied, violent state. "Shh... quiet..." The Sun-Earring Boy raised a finger to his lips, seemingly to soothe the "Flesh Bud" or the enraged Nine-Tails beneath him. He glanced again, the Tailed Beast Ball almost within reach, and then calmly looked at the Nine-Tails. In those clear, bright pupils, a crimson hue had slowly crept into them.
In the blink of an eye, his eyes were filled with color. Then, the jade pendant, shaped like a blade, slowly rotated as he whispered, "Sleep..."
A [Tsukuyomi], no less powerful than [Illusion Jutsu], roared out...
The [Forced Hypnosis] of the Rebirth Hand Enmu instantly landed on the Nine-Tails ' tiny, bronze bell-shaped eyes, causing it to become momentarily disoriented. Its Chakra also instantly became chaotic, rendering it unable to supply energy to the Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth!
"Sharingan... Damn it Uchiha, it's you again?!"
With a dizzy head, the Nine-Tails' massive, mountain-like body staggered. Having just broken free of the gravity lines, it slumped towards the lake again, and then... the terrifying Tailed Beast Ball could no longer be maintained, and it was swallowed up by its throat, extinguished in a daze!
"Jingle bells..."
An endless drowsiness, like fine rain, seeped into the Nine-Tails ' ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth, making it feel as if it had returned to the past, remembering the fear of being dominated by the same Uchiha!
"Bang!" The proud Kurama finally lowered its head... The last glimmer of clarity vanished from the fox demon's eyes, its limbs went limp, and it collapsed to the ground like a mountain collapsing. The sudden Transformation seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it ended in an instant...
Tsunade, who was rushing over, and Minato Kunai and was ready to use his Body Namikaze Minato, stopped halfway.
Staring blankly as the Nine-Tails slept peacefully like a baby...
The two looked at each other, and for a moment they were at a loss for words...
"Legend has it that the Sharingan can control Tailed Beast, and it turns out it's true, Tsunade," Namikaze Minato said with Kunai smile as he put away his kunai and turned to Tsunade beside him. "Looks like we're done here."
"Indeed, I can feel the Nine-Tails ' power rapidly fading."
"Huff... huff..." Kushina Uzumaki gasped for breath, her hands on her knees. Her expression relaxed, and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel on the calm surface of her heart lake.
"Pop~" Ripples spread across the lake of her heart.
With her back to Minato wife, Tsunade remained silent, staring at Roy's bloodshot Mangekyō. Her emotions Sharingan, and she couldn't help but think about one thing—
If Grandpa were still alive, and he saw someone like Roy who Bloodline of both the Senju Clan and Uchiha, what would he think?
You'll definitely be laughing out loud, hands on hips, you'll find it hilarious...
"Hiss~" A snoring sound, like thunder, echoed as Nine-Tails fell asleep, reverberating in everyone's ears. Before Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki could rejoice for long, Roy silently summoned the Flesh Bud Sprout, put his hands behind his back, and using his back as cover, flicked his finger, sending it into Nine-Tails's body... The Sun-Earring Boy felt his Nen Qi being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate due to the hypnosis of Nine-Tails...
He spoke Youyou, glancing at the two of them, and said, "Now is not the time to be happy. I can only temporarily subdue it. You'd better strengthen the seal first."
Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a glance and nodded, cooperating seamlessly. One extended the Adamantine Sealing Chains, controlling the Chain to bind Nine-Tails's limbs, preventing it from suddenly waking up and adding another layer of protection to Roy's hypnosis. The other flew directly over, pressed against the cage, and summoned [Chakra], forming hand seals to reinforce the [Four Symbols Seal]. During this brief moment, Roy secretly focused on the [Flesh Bud], watching it tear through Nine-Tails's fur and penetrate its bones and flesh, like barnacles parasitizing a baleen whale, frantically absorbing its Chakra. Then, a series of notification sounds, like Basho pattering on banana leaves, entered Roy's ears...
[Detection: [Flesh Bud] Parasitism successful... Now beginning to absorb "Life Energy" (Note: "Chakra" is different from "Nen Qi"; absorption requires further purification. The purification ratio is 1 point of "Chakra" to 0.8 points of "Life Energy")]
[Hint: "Life Energy" +0.8 +0.8 +0.8...]
- Strands of invisible "Life Energy" flowed into Roy's body like a gentle stream...
The Sun-Earring Boy's body trembled slightly uncontrollably. He lowered his eyes, suppressing his excitement and joy. This time, immersing himself in the Flesh Bud, he felt as if parched, cracked earth had suddenly received rain, his whole body feeling inexplicably refreshed and invigorated...
"You don't seem very happy?" A ripple spread... Tsunade barely touching the water, leaped to Roy's side, raised her fist, and gently punched the Sun-Earring Boy's shoulder. "Cheer up!"
"Among your peers, you are already outstanding enough, Jhin..."
"Bang!" The fist struck Roy's shoulder, but before it could touch Roy flesh, it was intercepted in mid-air by a layer of fiery red Nen membrane... Tsunade was stunned, staring intently. That fiery red... it looked somewhat like the Nine-Tails imprisoned in the cage beneath her. Just as she frowned, she saw... Roy looked up at her with a smile and said, "Tsunade, believe me, I've never felt so energetic!"
[Hint: "Life Energy" +0.8 +0.8 +0.8...]
"Squeak—" Flesh Bud buds sprouted, deeply piercing the Nine-Tails's flesh, and strands of invisible "Life Energy" surged wildly towards Roy. The Sun-Earring Boy straightened his back, opened his arms, and suddenly let out a sharp roar...
As the sound waves rippled, a hurricane arose, whipping Tsunade beside her, Minato her, and Kushina before her, their bangs swaying in the wind. In the eyes of the three—
The Sun-Earring Boy, despite his small stature, spread his arms as if embracing the entire world—a sight both eerie and harmonious, leaving one in awe!
"This child..." Tsunade to look at Roy, and in that instant, she recalled that afternoon...
As a little girl, I was led by my grandfather to the Hokage Rock to enjoy the breeze. He pointed to the Konoha beneath our feet, where life thrived. He said, "Watch closely, Tsunade, Grandpa will teach you how to jump off the cliff..."
Then, she was held in his arms and jumped towards the cliff below...
That moment of freedom and fear is like gambling; with each hand dealt, adrenaline surges, an indescribable thrill!
"Buzz..." Chakra rippled... As the [Four Symbols Seal] was reinforced again... Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki both breathed a sigh of relief. The man and woman flew side by side onto the cage, came to Roy's side, and bowed to him, saying, "Jin, thank you."
Roy waved his hand, and then two whirlwinds spun around them, helping them to their feet...
"Wind Release?" Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed. Since their first encounter in the Southern Forest, the man had witnessed various [Functional Release] techniques from the Sun-Earring Boy Sun-Earring Boy. Aside from [Light Release], there were [Water Release], [Fire Release]... and just now, that wind...
Namikaze Minato straightened up, staring intently at Roy, deeply suspicious... the Sun-Earring Boy. [Fire][Earth][Water]
[Wind][Thunder][Yin][Yang], possessing all attributes... Perhaps, only this can explain how the Sun-Earring Boy was able to creatively develop [Gravity], such an extremely rare [escape technique]!
"This isn't the place to talk," Roy said with a gentle smile. "We've taken a while, and I imagine Mom has already prepared dinner. Why don't we eat and chat?"
"Jin, when you get serious, you're even cooler than Minato..." Kushina Uzumaki reached out and put her arm around Roy's shoulder, saying with no small amount of gratitude, "Whatever you say, let's talk while we eat!"
"Hey, I'm still here..."
Is this really appropriate to do in front of me?
Kushina Uzumaki from Namikaze Minato. The "young couple" had let their guard down and were openly flirting... Seeing Byakugan, Tsunade's lips twitched. Whether it was because she'd been touched on a sore spot, reminding her of the deceased Kato Dan, or simply because she was getting too old to handle such cloying affection... she tossed her two ponytails behind her head, becoming the first to connect her Chakra and leave Kushina Uzumaki's Mind World.
"Buzz..." A gap opened in the Mind World, and Tsunade vanished in an instant. Roy, Namikaze Minato, and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a smile, following closely Tsunade as they left one after another. Roy trailed behind. After Kushina Uzumaki left, the Mind World began to collapse and fall silent. The Sun-Earring Boy watched as that fiery red hair disappeared into the outside world, then turned and gave a deep look at the cage behind him and the Nine-Tails sealed within it, saying calmly, "It's up to you."
"Squeak--" The Flesh Bud stretched out two small tender shoots at its tip, bowed and nodded, continuously and steadily absorbing the Nine- Nine-Tails 'Chakra, feeding back to Roy. Roy's lips curled into a slight smile, and he immediately withdrew his gaze. With a thought, he transformed into a Kushina Uzumaki's Mind World, returning to his own body.
"Whoosh~" A gust of wind blew, causing the curtains to rustle... It was noon, and while countless homes were cooking, wisps of smoke rose from the Uchiha Clan's residence...
Roy regained consciousness, opened his eyes again, and glanced around, exchanging knowing looks with Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, Kushina Uzumaki... Suddenly, a notification sound echoed in his mind...
[Detection: Three "Believer"...]
[Note: Because you helped Kushina Uzumaki suppress the Nine-Tails, you gained a huge amount of goodwill from Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki. They regard you as a loyal and reliable friend, but you are still a step away from "absolute loyalty" or "life-and-death friendship".]
[Note: You have earned a great deal of gratitude from Tsunade for reviving the Nawaki Kato Dan, and are now being looked to with high regard and expectations. You are still a step away from achieving "absolute loyalty" and "life-or-death friendship" (Note: Once the Nawaki and Kato Dan Tsunade revived, Officialization member of the Fly Tree).]
The notification sound faded, Roy nodded slightly to the three of them. With a casual flick of his finger, he channeled his Nen Qi into the water, creating a stream that slowly seeped from his fingertip into the empty teacups in front of them...
The Sun-Earring Boy then shouted into the kitchen, "Isn't the food ready yet, Itachi?"
A faint clanging sound of a spatula being swung in the kitchen could be heard, followed by the kitchen curtain being lifted... revealing a small head carrying a large tray, who came out and said, "You're here, Nii-san ~"
Itachi carefully carried the food, passing the two Anbu Ninja: "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
The cat- Anbu and fox-faced Anbu, their lips twitching, inwardly groaned... Damn it, the room is full of swords, where can they possibly dodge?
Unexpectedly, after Roy awoke, the Heart Sword seemed to have found a new master. With a wave of Roy's hand, countless sword shadows flashed and converged into one place, instantly disappearing into Roy's brow...
"Hoo~" A sound of breathing filled the air... The cat-faced Anbu and the fox Anbu exchanged a glance, simultaneously letting out a sigh of relief. They turned to Roy with a hint of lingering fear and said, "Uchiha Jin, I will report what happened today to the Hokage truthfully."
Even though Kushina Uzumaki appeared to have recovered her composure, showing little difference from usual except for some fatigue, just in case, some things needed to be done, and some things needed to be said...
"Please go ahead," Roy said, taking a sip of tea. With Namikaze Minato Tsunade present, he wasn't worried about them exaggerating or spreading rumors. As for Nine-Tails, without his suppression and the Sharingan's restraints, this most powerful Tailed Beast in the ninja world finally broke free from its slumber, returning from [hypnosis], and slowly opened its eyes. "Roar!" Its Kujo tails stretched out, supporting its weakened body as it stood up...
A pair of bright orange pupils peered through the [Thread of Causality] at Roy. The Nine-Tails shook its head, then suddenly roared, glaring at Roy with resentment, "Uchiha brat, don't play dumb! I know you can see me!"
Every cause has an effect; turning the effect into the cause, and the cause into the effect, the Thread of Causality connecting Nine-Tails and Roy trembled. A [Heart Bug], moved by Roy's will, carrying a wisp of Nen Qi and a fragment of Roy's consciousness, slowly entered Nine-Tails ' heart. The Sun-Earring Boy then transformed into specks of light, appearing beside Nine-Tails, and glanced at it indifferently, saying, "So what if you saw it? So what if you didn't? What can you do to me?"
The Nine-Tails fox bared its sharp fangs, pulling on the Chain and resisting the seal, poised to pounce. Halfway there, the Sun-Earring Boy coldly said, "Don't force me to slap you."
With a glare, the fox's eyes saw a bloodshot glint in the depths of Roy's emotionless pupils.
