The resonance between Susanoo and the Tailed Beast had caught Uchiha Yi by surprise. Even as he controlled the Three-Tails, he studied its Chakra. He had already researched Nine-Tails Chakra, and this was his chance to collect some from the Three-Tails. If the opportunity arose, he intended to collect Chakra from all Nine Tailed Beasts and study it. He had to.
Yi also wanted to use this opportunity to seek the power of the Truth-Seeking Orbs. For anyone at the Six Paths Level, they were practically essential.
He could try drawing on an outside power, such as the Ten-Tails, to form Truth-Seeking Orbs. Or he could form them through his own strength.
Truth-Seeking Orbs required more than just Yin-Yang Release. They could only be formed by mastering the powers of yin, yang, and the five elements.
Of course, that mastery meant more than possessing Chakra of those attributes. Even mastering the nature transformations of all five elements and Yin-Yang Release would barely scratch the surface.
For an ordinary person, forming a Truth-Seeking Orb was nearly impossible. Without enough Chakra, knowing how to form one might not be enough to produce even a single orb.
With Hashirama Senju's reserves of Chakra, three or four Truth-Seeking Orbs would probably have been his limit.
"Then let's turn this place upside down!" Excitement filled Yi's face as the Three-Tails formed a Tailed Beast Bomb some five or six meters across. Frankly, Yi was a little disappointed. The Nine-Tails could produce one that size without batting an eye.
The Three-Tails, by contrast, needed all that effort, all that Chakra, and all that time just to form one.
The gap between Tailed Beasts really was enormous.
Boom! The Three-Tails spat out the massive Tailed Beast Bomb, and it struck the center of Kirigakure.
A huge mushroom
