Prolong the running time!
Dan Katō couldn't catch him at all!
"Thanks to this green Chakra!"
Araki silently expressed his gratitude. If it weren't for this green Chakra helping him replenish his energy and repair his shattered muscles, he might have been captured by Dan Katō long ago. This was a life-saving grace!
This doesn't even include the benefits it provides during regular spiritual practice!
That's incredibly powerful!
Thinking about this...
Araki secretly swore to the green Chakra that after this ordeal, he would take good care of Tsunade and not let her be alone in her empty room after losing Dan Katō.
As for the Nawaki...
Before Araki could even think about Nawaki, he felt a strong surge of green Chakra emanating from his chest, which then slowed down, as if it were about to stop.
"No!"
In that instant, Araki felt an intense fatigue. Under this feeling, his speed plummeted, and he lost his balance when he stepped on a tree branch, falling towards the ground.
Oh shit!
You betrayed me at the crucial moment!
Wouldn't it be bad if things went wrong at this point?
Araki felt that the green Chakra was intentional; it clearly had a lot left, but suddenly stopped, showing no intention of continuing to help him.
Swish!
At this very moment.
A chilling wind enveloped his body, and a terrifying gaze swept over him from all directions, instantly engulfing him.
I've got you!
Dan Katō's voice suddenly rang out. It wasn't spoken words, nor was it heard; it sounded more like a voice emanating from Araki's soul, giving off an eerily terrifying feeling.
In an instant.
Araki's hair stood on end, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Suddenly, the world spun around me.
He felt as if he had entered another space, where the surroundings were exceptionally bright, and white clouds were beneath his feet.
Standing in front of him, staring at him, was none other than Dan Katō!

"Here..."
Upon seeing Dan Katō, Araki became calm. He realized that he had been affected by the Spirit Transformation Technique and had entered another "world".
This world is not the real world, but the world of the soul, or the world of consciousness.
Regarding this point...
Araki was surprised, but not particularly surprised, as he had seen it before.
This is not a particularly common scene in the ninja world, but it's one he often sees when watching anime.
for example:
When Naruto met Nine-Tails, the corridor with water stains on the ground, the sealed cell, and Nine-Tails's fiery red body were all within Naruto's consciousness.
When Sasuke met Nine-Tails, he entered Naruto's consciousness space just like he is now.
Additionally, when Kakashi died, he also saw his father, Hatake Sakumo, before being pulled back to reality.
Araki knew that the space of consciousness existed.
only...
What he's wondering now is...
Whose consciousness space is this?!
Araki surveyed his surroundings. The world was incredibly bright, almost blinding. There were no shadows, and the "ground" beneath his feet had no real tactile sensation. Even he felt weightless.
However, this was not the ground, but rather continuously accumulating white clouds.
After a quick look around, Araki was certain of one thing: he was standing atop the clouds in a special consciousness space.
You are in my consciousness!
Dan Katō spoke slowly, seemingly noticing Araki's confusion, but his face was full of ease.
"This is the attack of the Spirit Transformation Technique!"
"After my soul touches your body, I can pull your soul into my consciousness!"
"Here, I am God!"
"I can easily devour your soul; it will become my food, restoring my soul power and replenishing my depleted Chakra!"
"Actually."
"I wasn't going to last much longer."
"It's a good thing you couldn't hold on any longer!"
"After absorbing you, I replenished all my chakra. Speaking of which, you surprised me; your Chakra is incredibly strong!"
"As expected of Wood Release ninja!"
"Now it seems..."
"You're from the Senju Clan, aren't you!"
" Tsunade accepting you as a disciple is probably just a ruse!"
"Only..."
There's something I'm really curious about!
"Are you a true inheritor of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai who escaped from that experiment in the Senju Clan, or a successful experimental subject?"
Dan Katō asking questions, one after another. He stood atop the clouds, where time and space had lost their meaning. No matter how much he said, once he took action and dealt with Araki, the whole process was over in an instant.
The soul has no concept of time!
After dealing with Araki, he could take over Araki's body, nourish his soul with Araki's blood and energy, leave his exhaustion on Araki's body, and then control Araki to go back and untie the bonds on his body, returning to his own body.
This has always been his attack method.
That's incredibly perverted!
Not only does it possess extremely high lethality, but it can also sustain itself through the enemy's body, making it possible to kill without leaving a trace.
certainly.
All of this.
There is still a premise.
That means his soul power must be stronger than his enemy's, otherwise he would be killed in the consciousness space, and his soul would be devoured by the opponent to replenish his Chakra.
This is equivalent to saying...
If the Spirit Transformation Technique fails in battle, not only will death await him, but the enemy will also recover their condition, resulting in a complete and utter defeat.
only...
Even if Dan Katō were as cautious and learned from his Jonin as ever, as a Jonin who specialized in souls, he still couldn't muster any respect when faced with the soul of a child under ten years old.
Right now.
In his view.
Araki's soul was already his.
There's no other way.
Araki coldly shook his head. Dan Katō had the mind to ask these questions, but he had no mind to answer them. What awaited him next was a duel that would determine both the victor and the loser.
The dueling arena is ready.
Right here atop the clouds.
One of their souls is destined to perish.
Araki narrowed his eyes slightly, silently complaining to himself, "You old Chakra, still throwing a tantrum. Let me tell you straight now, if I don't get through this ordeal, your grandson will die and your granddaughter will be defiled. But if you help me get through this, at most your granddaughter will be defiled, your grandson won't die. Think it through!"
Araki sneered inwardly.
As I spent more and more time in the ninja world, my understanding of what happened there became clearer and clearer.
Chakra possesses consciousness!
The same principle applies to Shadow Clone and Wood Clone.
only...
Araki wasn't entirely certain whether the Chakra of a deceased person still retained consciousness, but when he casually teased Tsunade, he noticed that the green Chakra was still there but suddenly stopped, leading him to believe that the person was conscious.
If there is consciousness, then there is consciousness!
It could be either the necklace's own consciousness or the First Hokage's consciousness; whoever it is, it's probably silently protecting Tsunade.
As long as you're conscious, you can talk!
but...
Araki never liked sycophantic negotiations and would never beg this thing to save him. Now that things had come to this, he was full of fighting spirit and would fight Dan Katō to the bitter end, even without help.
Araki was feeling grateful for the green Chakra when he was suddenly put into this predicament, and all that gratitude vanished in an instant.
It's fine to just talk nonsense.
Let's do it then.
In conclusion
I'm telling you this clearly today!
