The cold wave from the east swept into the central region, and even though it was only mid-October, the temperature in the forest suddenly dropped a lot.
Seven-Tails's huge blue body roared down from the sky, immediately generating an extremely powerful shock wave, setting off waves of circular wind and waves, and flattened the center of the forest to the ground.
A strong figure escaped from the impact, ignoring the fierce storms coming one after another, and came to a safe place to stand still.
This muscular figure is none other than Raizo.
He was currently wearing a Samurai combat uniform and holding a Samurai knife. The blade was wrapped with lightning. Within two or three meters around his body, the air was filled with a layer of fine current, forming a special field.
It seems that as long as you get within three meters of his body, you will naturally be paralyzed by the surrounding lightning.
"This feeling of being able to wield a knife wantonly..."
Raizo was enjoying all this, and then he suddenly grasped the handle of the knife and swung the knife at Seven-Tails mercilessly.
A light cannon mixed with thunder rushed directly towards Seven-Tails. The speed of the light cannon was so fast and its range was so large that it instantly submerged most of Seven-Tails's body.
The strong wind blew away the land, uprooting the trees dozens of meters in front of them, and filled the air with dust.
Facing this sudden and violent blow from Raizo, Seven-Tails couldn't control its body and fell backwards. It had no choice but to use this strong momentum to fly back into the sky and distance itself from Raizo.
What followed was huge wind balls, like solid iron cannons blasting towards Raizo on the ground.
Raizo did not dodge and kept slashing with his sword.
Obviously facing Seven-Tails's powerful Wind Release, Raizo The Samurai sword, the ancient Lightning Release Chakra, was not directly erased by the wind ball. Instead, as Raizo further increased the size of Chakra, the lightning on the blade became more dazzling, splitting the huge wind ball and turning it into waves of powerful airflow sweeping to the surrounding area.
Although there is no way to fight Seven-Tails directly, but with the amazing Swordsmanship, Raizo is not afraid to fight Seven-Tails head-on.
This feeling of powerfully holding the knife and slashing was so great that he gradually regained the passion he had when he was young.
Your body will not be sore after a collision, nor will your body be exhausted quickly due to high-intensity fighting.
And this powerful and abundant Chakra power is enough to support him in a long-lasting battle.
This is what it feels like to be at the top.
Just when he was about to rush towards Seven-Tails again and unleash his slashing attack, his expression suddenly changed and his face turned pale.
The huge Chakra that was constantly erupting outwards suddenly shrank, and the Lightning Release Ninjutsu on the Samurai sword also dissipated directly and was taken back into his body.
"Is there something wrong with this guy's health?"
Seven-Tails, who wanted to attack, saw this scene and immediately realized that something was wrong with Samurai's body, so he had to restrain his attack, his face full of suspicion.
Yayoi, who was on the edge of the battlefield, naturally noticed this scene, quickly ran to Raizo, and picked up his weak body:
"Chōmei, the test ends here, I don't need your help from now on."
After saying this, Yayoi took Raizo back to Nightview City.
Seven-Tails watched the two people leave without saying anything more, but he was still a little unfinished.
In terms of strength, this Samurai called Raizo is indeed impressive. If it does not use Tailed-Beast Bomb, it is fully qualified to fight it head-on.
However, even if Tailed-Beast Bomb is not used, it will still be the final winner. Because it has more Chakra, and if it is consumed, it will win.
The most important thing is that although Raizo's Swordsmanship is powerful, it lacks the tricks to win with one blow. It also cannot use the deadly Sealing Jutsu on it like a ninja.
In the final analysis, this is the limitation of Samurai itself.
Being able to compete head-on with it for a short period of time is already a very remarkable achievement.
"I hope nothing goes wrong..."
Seven-Tails murmured as he flew high into the sky, flying in the direction of Blacksteel Forest.
Since returning to full condition, he now spends most of his time at Blacksteel Forest, occasionally landing at Inner Court of the General's Residence for a nice meal.
After all, life requires distance and freedom, and good food can be just that once in a while.
◎
Among the pale Cryotherapy Room, Raizo was lying on the cold stand, letting Yayoi and Nene test him with various instruments. Yayoi would occasionally point his fingers on his chest, as if he was carefully exploring something.
To be honest, Raizo himself is a little confused.
He could feel that there was nothing wrong with his body, he just became weak for some reason.
He has obviously regained his youthful body and has not aged again. He still maintains the peak condition of middle age.
"General, this is..."
Seeing that Yayoi and Nene's inspection work was completed, Raizo couldn't help but ask.
Obviously, he couldn't wait to understand his specific situation and where this feeling of weakness came from.
"How does it feel?"
Yayoi did not answer, but asked Raizo about his senses at this time.
"Hungry..."
Raizo Answer honestly.
But unlike normal hunger, he could Sensory feel this feeling of hunger, but he couldn't describe it accurately. He just felt that his body was extremely weak.
Although walking is not a problem, it can only maintain the minimum level of activity.
As soon as he fights and releases Chakra, a feeling of weakness that is almost "hungry" will engulf his whole body.
Yayoi nodded, and deep in the black pupils, there was a mysterious emerald luster.
"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Let me tell you the good news first. Although you have been transformed by Cursed Seal, there is no problem with your body and you will not grow old again."
Yayoi spoke like this.
"So, what's the bad news?"
Raizo feels a little at ease.
"Your body is leaking air."
Yayoi did not speak, but Nene next to him suddenly spoke, his red pupils thoughtful, as if he was very interested in this phenomenon.
"Leak?"
Raizo's face was startled, but he didn't understand.
Nene continued to answer:
"To put it simply, as long as your body is alive, it will continue to replenish Chakra to maintain activity. Once you lose the supply of Chakra, you can only lie down like a vegetative state."
"..."
Raizo opened his mouth, feeling like he didn't know what to say.
No wonder he felt that the consumption speed of Chakra was a bit abnormal during the battle just now. At first, he thought it was due to lack of physical proficiency, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It's because when he moves, he needs to pay an extra fee called 'Chakra' to his body. Once he stops paying, his body will become weak. After a while, he will be unable to move and can only lie down like a living dead.
In contrast, as long as he keeps replenishing Chakra, he can keep moving.
But the problem is that the total time he spent fighting Seven-Tails not long ago was less than fifteen minutes. Isn't this air leakage a bit too fast?
"It seems that the cost of maintaining 'Eternal Life is immortal' is reflected in this aspect, which is basically consistent with the pre-guessed."
Yayoi then frowned and spoke.
How should I put it, he was both satisfied and a little dissatisfied with this result.
"There is no way. After all, it is a flesh-and-blood body that is inconvenient. It is difficult to make up for the shortcomings in this area. It depends on whether it can be further improved in the future."
Nene nodded and agreed with Yayoi's statement.
After all, it is still a mortal body no matter what, not a Tailed Beasts or a Chakra living body that is almost like Tailed Beasts.
All functions of Raizo's body require the 'Cursed Seal' planted in his heart to absorb a large amount of Chakra as a price for maintaining youth and immortality.
Once Chakra is insufficient, or there is no time to replenish Chakra, his body will be frozen and fall into a state of living dead.
Raizo also barely understood his current situation, and couldn't help but ask the truth he wanted to know most:
"General, can you still fight after this?"
As Samurai who has returned to his peak, if he cannot fight, he would rather not have this kind of Eternal Life who is not old, otherwise living is just a waste of food.
Yayoi continued to frown, and then relaxed a little.
"You can fight, but you need to do it under certain circumstances. After all, to maintain your current body functions, the amount of Chakra extracted from your body every moment is a bit exaggerated. Because the speed at which you recover Chakra cannot catch up with the speed at which Cursed Seal absorbs Chakra."
"Specific environment?"
"For example, this underground space is connected to underground veins and can extract a large amount of Chakra from the earth to supply you with energy. In this place, you can fight with all your strength without any scruples, and your body will not become weak. As for going out, as long as you don't fight, you can still be active for three to five days."
Yayoi explained a little bit.
"... It seems like this is the only way."
Raizo was silent for a moment, accepting this fact.
It's good to be able to fight and get out, and to be able to continue to survive in this posture is a blessing that countless people can't ask for.
(Because the carrier of Cursed Seal is the defective embryo of Chakra created by Yayoi, which is different from the form of Orochimaru that borrowed Zhongwu's power.. So Yayoi has the highest control over Cursed Seal, and can shut down Cursed Seal at any time and take back the power of 'Eternal Life'.)
