"Feed it to death?"
Kisame looked as though he had heard a ridiculous joke, the muscles in his cheeks twitching twice.
His blue-green face was full of scorn and mockery.
"Brat, I think you've been scared stupid!"
"My Samehada can even devour tailed beast chakra! You think you can..."
Kisame never finished his sentence.
His voice.
Cut off in his throat, as though an invisible hand had forcibly strangled it.
"Humm-!"
Something terrifying and violently turbulent.
Accompanied by a piercing scrape, like glass dragged across a blackboard.
Erupted from Sen's left hand, which held Samehada's blade in a death grip!
Sen did not resist at all.
In fact, the wicked grin on his face grew even wider.
Eat up. Have some more.
Sen silently urged him on.
Not only did he make no effort to rein in his chakra.
He willingly opened the valve deep in his core that kept the divine tree origin suppressed.
This was a fusion of the First's and Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation chakra, Shukaku's tailed beast essence, and the life force of countless small fry...
Lv25 divine tree chakra!
It was no longer ordinary chakra.
It was an ocean.
An ocean of life, deep green and impossibly dense, like viscous magma!
"Boom!"
That suffocatingly vast green energy.
Like a flood bursting through a dam, like a waterfall surging backward.
Flowed through Sen's palm, through the barbs embedded in his skin.
Frenziedly.
With savage force.
It surged into Samehada's blade!
"Ugh... scree!"
Samehada's barbs had been writhing with greedy excitement.
But in the very first second he touched that chakra.
He let out a strange, agonized shriek!
It sounded nothing like a sword, but rather a beast that had scalded its mouth.
"What's going on?!"
Kisame's hands suddenly sank under the weight of the hilt.
