Underground energy center.
The exhaust fan overhead emitted a dull hum, and the air, carrying the smell of machine oil, swirled through the empty factory.
The ceiling track made a screeching sound.
Clang.
Clang.
Two muffled thuds.
Thick steel cables dragged two people, wrapped up like dumplings in electric netting, as they slammed heavily onto the cold iron plate.
The adjustable wrench on the ground bounced twice from the impact.
The specially made electric fence was still emitting charred smoke.
Aburame Shikuroo stood to the side, took off his sunglasses, and rubbed his sore eyes.
"We brought the person back." Shikuroo pointed to the ground, "It took some effort."
Half of his trench coat sleeve was burned off, and the edges were covered in black ash.
Shu Shiraishi nodded. "Go collect your reward."
Shikuroo turned and walked up the metal staircase. His boots clattered under his feet on the metal mesh.
Orochimaru walked over, wearing a dirty white coat.
He was also holding a caliper covered in butter.
Walking to the electric fence, Orochimaru stretched out his rubber-soled foot and kicked the person on the ground.
Roshi flipped over. His red beard was completely singed and stuck to his face.
Han's Steam Armor was riddled with cracks. Half of his red mask was broken, revealing his tightly closed eyes.
" The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.
He had been working for five nights straight, and his hands were shaking a little. He lost his grip on the calipers, and they fell to the metal plate with a "thud."
He didn't pick it up.
"Good quality. Better than the Third Raikage."
"Hang it up." Shu Shiraishi glanced at the wall clock.
"Power on immediately."
Four Sealing Squad ninjas in white coats ran over.
They were pushing two three-meter-high alloy torture racks.
The wheels were out of lubrication, making a sharp squeaking sound on the floor.
Thick, high-strength steel shackles were welded onto the rack.
Next to it was a bundle of transparent insulating tubes, each about the thickness of a thumb. Purple sealing copper wires were sandwiched inside the tubes.
Several ninjas hurriedly dragged Roshi and Han out of the electric fence.
Peel off the tattered outer garment. Pry open the shattered buckles of Han's Steam Armor.
The two were lifted onto the alloy platform.
"Click. Click."
Steel shackles tightly bound their limbs and necks.
An iron bar was wedged into his lower jaw, leaving no space even for him to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Orochimaru dragged two main pipes, each as thick as a wrist, from the control panel.
At the front end of the pipe was a pure copper disc engraved with black runes.
"Aim at the Sealing Jutsu." Orochimaru pointed at Roshi's stomach.
A sealing ninja lifted the disc and pressed it directly onto Roshi's abdomen.
The cold copper plate pressed against my skin.
Roshi suddenly convulsed.
He was still unconscious when this external force abruptly woke him up in pain.
His eyelids were stretched open, and his eyes were full of bloodshot veins.
"Puff."
Roshi opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood that smelled burnt.
Blood splattered onto the ninja's sleeve. The ninja frowned and took a half-step back in disgust.
The same thing happened on the Han side. The bronze plate was pressed firmly against their bellies.
" Four Symbols Inversion Array, activate." Shu Shiraishi ordered from in front of the power distribution cabinet.
Around the rack, twelve sealing ninjas simultaneously Hand Seals.
The ink flowed rapidly, and sweat streamed down his forehead.
Twelve pairs of hands slammed onto the iron plate in unison.
"Buzz--"
The iron plates on the ground began to vibrate.
Black runes, like living snakes, emerged from their hands.
Climb up the metal legs of the rack.
The runes crawled across Roshi's skin and burrowed into the bronze plate.
The purple copper wire inside the transparent insulating tube lit up instantly, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.
Inside the sealed space.
The Four-Tails Son Gokū was sleeping on the scorching lava ground.
The red fur rose and fell with each breath.
Suddenly, a huge black hole appeared in the sky.
A thick, phantom-like pipe descended from the sky, carrying a terrifying suction force.
The lava in the lava pool was swept directly into the sky.
Son Gokū suddenly opened his eyes.
The red fur on its back was sucked until each hair stood on end.
The Chakra within his body surged into his tubes like a floodgate being opened.
"Damn it! Who's draining my Chakra?!"
The gorilla pounded its chest as it got up.
It opened its gaping maw, as if to spew out a ball of lava fire.
The fireball had barely formed in his throat when it was torn apart by the violent suction, sucked clean.
More than a dozen black iron chains emerged from the void.
Like a venomous snake, it coiled around Son Gokū's limbs, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Chakra was forcibly extracted from the bone marrow.
"You despicable human! Let me go!"
Son Gokū pulled on the iron chain, causing sparks to fly from it.
Its massive body rolled wildly on the ground, crushing a large patch of obsidian.
In the space next door.
The Five-Tails Kokuō is struggling desperately.
White hooves kicked wildly. The sharp horns on its head slammed into the illusory pipe.
It's useless.
The iron chain was tied around its neck.
Kokuō let out the neighing of a steed. The pure white Chakra mist was drawn into a line and sucked into the black hole.
A piercing scream echoed within the sealed space.
Back in the basement.
Roshi and Han's bodies thrashed wildly on the rack.
The steel shackles rattled as they were pulled.
Dark red Chakra emerged from Roshi's stomach.
He was just about to condense a Tailed Beast Cloak on his body.
The array on the bronze plate glowed bright red.
The Chakra was forcibly pulled into the transparent insulating tube.
The tube instantly turned a glaring dark red.
The high pressure and temperature caused the insulating tube wall to expand slightly, emitting a rubbery odor.
The pipes on the Han side turned a dazzling pure white.
Boil Release Chakra surged wildly through the tube like high-pressure steam.
"The rotation speed is not enough! Increase the suction power!"
Orochimaru gripped the two metal levers on the control panel with both hands.
Press down firmly.
The veins on the back of his hand bulged out like earthworms.
The twelve sealed ninjas unleashed maximum Chakra output.
Several people couldn't withstand the backlash, and their noses began to bleed. Blood droplets fell onto their shoes.
Roshi's eyeballs were rolled completely upwards, revealing only the bloodshot whites of his eyes.
A hissing, escaping sound came from its throat. Its teeth clenched into the metal frame, making a grinding sound.
White breath escaped from Han's nostrils, and his whole body arched like a boiled shrimp.
The iron rings chafed his skin, and blood dripped down the rack.
The raging Tailed Beast Chakra surged through the insulating tube into the massive spherical conversion reactor behind it.
The converter is two stories high. The outer shell is entirely made of stainless steel.
It was filled with densely packed copper coils and inverter runes.
Chakra crashed into the conversion reactor.
"Bang!"
A large burst of blinding blue and white sparks erupted inside.
The frenzied Tailed Beast Chakra was forcibly sorted out and stripped away.
The mechanical gears meshed wildly, emitting a deafening roar.
The coil overheated due to overload. The air reeked of copper.
Chakra was transformed into high-voltage electricity.
Following the thick copper core cable, it surged towards the distribution cabinet.
The shipyard overhead surged towards Konoha. The Chakra grid surged towards Konoha.
"Crack!"
The factory lights flickered suddenly.
The brightness instantly skyrocketed. The originally dim, yellowish light turned into a blinding, deathly white.
The once-silent giant machines roared to life again.
The exhaust fan blades spun, leaving afterimages. The wind howled, whipping up iron filings from the ground.
The conveyor belt started running, and the friction of the tracks produced a piercing shriek.
"Aaaaaah--"
The screams of Roshi and Han drowned out the roar of the machines.
This is not physical pain. It is the pain of life's very essence being torn apart.
The sealing tubes resembled two greedy, blood-sucking mouths.
Regardless of life or death, leave no room for compromise.
They transformed the most ferocious weapon in the Shinobi World into a generator on an assembly line.
Orochimaru stared at the pressure gauge on the control panel.
The pointer crossed the red line and came to a steady stop at the highest mark.
He licked his chapped lips with his tongue.
"Power supply is stable," Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.
"The reserves of Four-Tails and Five-Tails are enough for that aircraft carrier to run at full speed and at full capacity for two months."
Shu Shiraishi stood in front of the two-meter-high electrical distribution cabinet.
Hands in pockets.
In front of me were rows of old-fashioned round dashboards.
Accompanied by the Tailed Beast's mournful howl.
On the basement wall, rows of red indicator lights were lit up due to the power outage.
Instantly, all the bars turned a blinding green and filled to the brim!
Shu Shiraishi watched the rapidly spinning gears of the meter on the dashboard.
The gears were spinning so fast they were practically sparking.
He extended his right hand, which was wearing a black glove.
He patted the thick, scorching hot power transmission pipe next to him with satisfaction.
"Full power."
