The speed of that soaring progress sent excitement surging through Gekkō Raito.
His Tailed Beast reward package was almost in hand. He wondered whether it would come with any hidden skills.
[50%]
[78%]
[99%]
Not much time had actually passed, but as Raito stared at the progress bar, every second felt like a year.
[Analysis calculations complete.] [Congratulations, host. New skill acquired: Magnet Release.] [Magnet Release: Possesses sealing properties and can generate powerful magnetic fields, using magnetic force to control metallic substances such as iron sand.]
After all that, analyzing Shukaku only gave me one kekkei genkai?
That fell quite a bit short of Raito's expectations!
Talk about stingy!
[Congratulations, host. New skill acquired: Yin Release Nature Transformation.]
Yin Release?
Yin release chakra?
Raito froze. Why would analyzing a sand-playing tanuki reward him with Yin Release Nature Transformation?
[Great Sage: Answer.] [Strictly speaking, Tailed Beasts are not flesh-and-blood creatures, but aggregates of chakra. Through Yin Release transformation, they use their immense chakra to maintain a form resembling a physical body.]
Got it. Strip a Tailed Beast bare and see through all his secrets, and naturally, you master the mysteries of Yin Release!
All right, that explanation held together. Raito accepted it.
But what the hell am I supposed to do with Yin Release Nature Transformation?
I don't have any Yin Release ninjutsu.
[Great Sage: Yin Release is the power of yin, drawing upon the spiritual energy that governs imagination. It can create form from nothing.]
Raito's mouth twitched. Who the hell could understand such a flowery explanation?
Creating something from nothing? Doesn't that mean I can make whatever I want?
[Great Sage: In theory, yes.]
In theory? So in practice, I can't!
