Three days later, Konoha Back Mountain.
Tsunade stood in the middle of an empty depression with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression.
Beside her stood Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was leaning against a tree, with his arms crossed and a look of curiosity on his face.
Orochimaru stood on the other side, his golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if he was looking at every inch of the site.
The sound of footsteps came from the forest.
Bunpuku monk walked up the mountain road.
Bunpuku was wearing a washed white monk's robe, with his hands clasped together and his steps steady.
When he saw Tsunade, he gave a slight salute. "Lady Tsunade."
Tsunade nodded without any courtesy:
"Bunpuku, I called you here today to use the Shukaku Chakra in your body."
"Probably -- nine out of ten."
Bunpuku There is no surprise at all.
He opened his hands, looked at his palms, and said in a gentle voice:
"Lady Tsunade can take away my life at any time. Now it only takes nine out of ten Shukaku Chakra, which means that Lady Tsunade is willing to keep my life and Shukaku alive."
"Yes." Tsunade said, "If you are alive, Shukaku's consciousness will also be retained, which is good for everyone."
Bunpuku put his hands together. "I am willing to cooperate."
Tsunade looked at him. "Before drawing, I want to see Shukaku."
Bunpuku nodded. "Okay."
He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and the Chakra surging in his body began to surge rapidly.
After a while, a layer of dark yellow lines appeared on his body surface.
The lines spread quickly, covering his face and body.
His body began to swell and deform, the monk's robe was torn, and the hair tied behind his head fell loose.
In a few breaths, the body of the thin old man had transformed into a civet cat monster.
Shukaku.
A thick tail swung slowly behind him, and his body was covered with dark purple lines.
The pair of beast-like vertical pupils opened, with a ferocious aura, and a low roar rolled in the air:
"Konoha's ninja... what, finally thought of dealing with me?"
Everyone ignored its screams, and Shukaku's eyes fell on Tsunade's face.
Those eyes.
Lilac ripples, circle after circle.
Shukaku's pupils shrank sharply, and his huge body unconsciously took half a step back.
"Those eyes...Sage of Six Paths's...Rinnegan?"
Its voice lowered, with obvious fear.
But Tailed Beast's arrogance quickly overshadowed that trace of fear. It grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs:
"So what if I have those eyes? I'm not scared of others!"
"Have you had enough screaming?"
Tsunade didn't move.
Her voice was calm, but with a chill like late autumn:
"Next, I will extract nine-tenths of the Chakra in your body."
"You can choose to keep your consciousness within one tenth and stay alive, or you can choose to fight to the end and blame yourself if you die."
Shukaku's breathing suddenly stopped.
It wanted to refute, but when it saw the pair of lavender Rinnegan, it swallowed it back.
Just when it was trying to find words, a heavier and older Chakra feeling surged from Tsunade.
Tsunade's clothes are windless and automatic.
She raised her eyes slightly, and a low, oppressive voice came from her body:
"Smelly civet cat, long time no see."
Shukaku's ears suddenly stood up, and the ferocious look on his face instantly solidified.
It stared into Tsunade's eyes and its voice became sharp:
"Nine-Tails! You... it's you! How did you get into this woman's body?!"
"Wherever my love is, there it is."
Nine-Tails's voice is unhurried and slow.
"But you don't feel aggrieved by being in the belly of an old man."
"You take care of me!"
Shukaku's hair exploded, and a tail was thrown to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.
"At least I am voluntary! When did you Nine-Tails serve anyone?"
"You don't care who I obey or not."
Nine-Tails sneered lowly.
"At least now the woman next to me can fight more than the old man in your belly."
"Do you believe she can pin you to the ground with one hand?"
Shukaku was so angry that the hair on his body stood on end. "What did you say!"
"Okay."
Tsunade pressed her hands, and the Chakra aura of Nine-Tails on her body instantly fell silent.
The air around him seemed to be choked by something, and it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left.
She looked at Shukaku: "I've finished speaking, you make your own choice."
Shukaku stared at her silently, his throat rolling a few times.
After a long time, it finally made a dull hum.
The huge body slowly sat down, and the dark yellow Chakra no longer surged violently:
"... If you dare to lie to me, I will--"
"You can't scold her, nor can you beat her." Nine-Tails's voice floated lazily out of Tsunade's body again.
"Shut up!"
Jiraiya stood under the tree, watching the two Tailed Beast spraying each other across Tsunade, and couldn't help but grin:
"Interesting, it's like watching a dog bite a dog."
Orochimaru is not smiling.
He looked at Tsunade quietly with complicated eyes.
Three days ago, Mito passed away, and Nine-Tails was transferred to Tsunade.
He knows about it, Jiraiya knows about it.
But now Tsunade wants to extract 90% Chakra of One-Tail, which is completely beyond the direction of controlling Tailed Beast.
If you want to incorporate One-Tail, you can completely seal Shukaku in Konoha's facility like other Tailed Beast.
Why extract the nine out of ten Chakra separately?
What is this going to do?
She is already Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and it is impossible for her to become One-Tail Jinchuriki again.
Does that mean Jiraiya, or himself... becomes One-Tail Jinchuriki?
Orochimaru thought about it, frowning slightly.
No, this is not the way Tsunade behaves.
For such an important decision, she should explain it in advance.
"Orochimaru." Tsunade's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Orochimaru raised his head. "Huh?"
Tsunade glanced at him, the lavender pair of Rinnegan glowing in the sunlight:
"Stop thinking nonsense. Next, I will perform one of Rinnegan's ultimate eye skills."
She paused and said, "You take care of it."
Orochimaru's breathing suddenly became lighter.
He stood up straight involuntarily, his golden vertical pupils locked on Tsunade.
Jiraiya also stopped his lazy expression at the same moment and his eyes became serious.
Rinnegan's ultimate pupil technique, they have never really seen Tsunade fully display the power of Rinnegan.
At this moment, she took the initiative to show off, which meant that something beyond imagination was going to happen next.
Shukaku also felt the change in the atmosphere.
It no longer screamed, its huge body shrank back, and its vertical pupils stared at Tsunade warily.
Tsunade didn't look at them again.
She turned around, faced the center of the open space, took a deep breath, and slowly clasped her hands together.
The pair of lavender Rinnegan lit up in an instant, and the three circles of ripples slowly rotated as if activated.
A huge Chakra poured out of her body.
"Summoning Technique!"
Her hands suddenly hit the ground.
There was a violent tremor on the ground.
The ground began to crack, and cracks spread from her palms in all directions.
The entire Back Mountain seemed to be shaking, the trees were shaking violently, and gravel was rolling down from the top of the slope.
Jiraiya's face changed slightly, and he exerted force on his feet to stabilize his body.
Orochimaru opened his eyes to their maximum size, and the cracked ground in front of him was reflected in his pupils.
A huge silhouette slowly rose from the cracks in the ground.
It's like a dry body.
The body is haggard, sitting on its knees, and the whole body is grey-brown.
There are nine closed eyes on the top of its head.
There was a huge hole in his chest, and a hollow and deep breath surged through it.
As it rose completely, the air seemed to be compressed and deformed.
An ancient and almost wild sense of Chakra covered the entire Back Mountain silently like a tide.
Jiraiya's respiratory arrest.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank to the tip of a needle.
Shukaku looked at the sitting giant statue, the hair all over his body stood on end, and his fangs clenched uncontrollably:
"That... that's..."
It looked like a wild cat being stared at by a giant beast, lowering its head in fear.
Tsunade stood in front of the giant statue, his figure looking small under the outline of the giant statue.
But she was calm and collected.
Tsunade turned his head and looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya. His voice was not loud, but it was as clear as if it were carved in stone:
"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Ten-Tails body."
