Your granddaughter is definitely doomed!
It all depends on whether you save your grandson or not!
Do you want your grandson to become Hokage when he grows up, or do you hope that Dan Katō will become Hokage Position?!
Araki mentally unleashed a devastating torrent of energy into the green Chakra, though he didn't explicitly say that Dan Katō was merely a tool.
Making our stance clear now will make things easier later. After all, when it comes to outputting damage in the future, we'll still need the help of this green Chakra in terms of endurance!
Have you run out of things to say?
Dan Katō's lips curled into a sinister smile. He took a step forward, as if teleporting, and appeared in front of Araki in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and reached for Araki's neck.
"Then die!"
"I don't want to waste any more time with you!"
"They've pushed me to this point."
"You deserved to die!"
Dan Katō's hand swept across the air, seemingly altering the very fabric of space, distorting and nearly crushing Araki's throat.
But.
At that very moment.
Araki suddenly raised his hand and grabbed at Dan Katō's neck with extremely fierce momentum, reaching the latter's throat in an instant.
Swish!
Swish!
Dan Katō hand slashed across Araki's neck, clutching a transparent piece of soul. He could see it, and Araki could see it too; in the state of a soul, one could see other souls.
Araki's claws simultaneously grabbed Dan Katō neck and pulled it over, shoving it into his mouth and chewing and absorbing it.
"You don't really think this kind of struggle is useful, do you?"
Dan Katō stared coldly at Araki. He was furious. He had dealt with far too many people in this consciousness space. When others encountered his attacks, they instinctively raised their hands to defend themselves. This was the way humans fought, not the way souls fought.
The soul has no place to reside.
It's not like if you break an arm, it's really broken; it can grow back. And even if your neck is crushed, you won't die.
Dan Katō, through this method, seized the information gap first, and while the enemy's mindset remained fixed, he snatched the largest piece of their soul from their arm.
Then continue the attack.
Very few people have experienced the state of the soul or understood its essence; otherwise, they would instinctively guard against their vital parts.
But...
Araki, however, is different.
He didn't even defend himself; instead, he tore a piece of his own soul out of his body and ate it.
"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after trying it."
Araki chewed on the soul, feeling the increase in the power of his soul within his body, and immediately realized that his guess was correct.
Dan Katō's method of devouring souls is simply and brutally eating them.
You can simply devour the other person's soul within the realm of consciousness.
"You understand souls?" Dan Katō frowned. He didn't continue attacking Araki, but instead picked up the clump of soul in his hand and ate it in front of Araki.
"I don't understand." Araki stared intently at Dan Katō, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind. Delaying time wasn't a bad thing for him; it gave him more opportunities to prepare.
"Liar!" Dan Katō shook his head and sneered, "Then why did you ignore your own vital points and instead reach for my throat?"
"It's very simple."
Araki's eyes flashed with a cold, intense light, his pupils radiating a dangerous aura like that of a cornered beast. He said, "Even if I die, I'll splatter your blood. You can kill me, but you won't get away unscathed!"
"But..."
Araki suddenly changed the subject, a smug look on his face.
"Now I think I understand your fighting style. Your soul is quite delicious too. It's not certain that one of us will be able to devour the other!"
"What arrogance!"
Dan Katō's voice echoed above the clouds, and he instantly reappeared in front of Araki, this time faster and with an even faster attack.
It has to be said.
In the use of the soul.
Araki had never trained and was no match for Dan Katō; he couldn't react at all at that speed.
This time.
Dan Katō hand went straight for Araki's heart.
This is the exact same tactic as before.
Dan Katō was already used to this attack method. His opponents in his soul state reacted faster and moved faster than usual, so when a vital point was attacked, their instinctive reaction was stronger than normal.
In this way...
In most cases, the opponent will respond defensively.
The soul has no defenses!
Only by passively taking a few hits would he become extremely weak. This was the thought in Dan Katō's mind at the moment, and he frantically attacked Araki. His soul power was stronger than Araki's, and even in a head-on collision, he was the stronger one.
Even if they swap souls, it doesn't matter; in the end, he will eat back all the shattered souls scattered on the ground.
"The ultimate victor can only be me!"
Dan Katō appeared frantic, his hand reaching into Araki's heart. At that moment, something unexpected happened.
Buzz!
Araki's body suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards.
A green light surged at the location of the heart.
It firmly sucked Dan Katō's hand here, completely unable to move, as if it had been frozen in place.
A moment later.
A soft light dyed the entire sky green, causing strange phenomena to appear in this space of consciousness.
What happened?
A look of panic flashed in Dan Katō's eyes. He had never encountered such a situation when using the Spirit Transformation Technique. This was the first time he had encountered such an unexpected change. He had no contingency plan and had no idea how to deal with this situation.
"Is this the strange thing inside Araki's body?"
Dan Katō sensed a familiar feeling; it was something he had noticed when he was tracking Araki and discovered that Araki could continuously regain Chakra and restore his strength during his training. It seemed to have this same feeling.
But what exactly is this thing?
A question mark immediately popped into Dan Katō's head.
At this moment, his soul seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move at all, completely at the mercy of others.
His biggest worry was that Araki would take advantage of this opportunity to frantically tear his soul apart and stuff it into his mouth. If they continued to eat large bites like this, a power imbalance would arise between them.
only...
Dan Katō is unclear about this.
Right now.
Araki can't be moved either.
Araki's face didn't show any change, but that was because his face was frozen, and he was even more panicked than Dan Katō inside.
Dan Katō, being knowledgeable and experienced, knew this was an unusual phenomenon, but Araki was clueless and thought it was Dan Katō's ability. For a moment, Araki even felt like he was about to die.
Buzz!
But at that very moment...
Araki's body trembled once again.
Along with this tremor, a powerful force surged from his heart, pulling Dan Katō's soul directly into his body.
"???"
This phenomenon left Araki completely bewildered, with no idea what was happening and feeling utterly disoriented.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Suddenly.
Araki felt dizzy and disoriented.
He left the realm of consciousness.
His gaze returned to his body, where he was lying face down, having just fallen. The feeling of being watched had completely disappeared.
What happened to Dan Katō?
Araki looked down at his heart and felt nothing unusual. His body had recovered to its peak, and even his soul was exceptionally full. He was in excellent mental condition and felt no fatigue at all, only a little mentally tired.
"Is he dead?"
"Is it related to this green Chakra?"
What exactly happened?
Araki was puzzled, but he didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly ran towards the spot where Dan Katō was bound.
Thinking is one thing, doing is another.
While pondering the nature of the problem, Araki quickly prepared to deliver the final blow. Whether Dan Katō's soul was dead, absorbed, or sealed away, as long as he finished him off, there would be no problem.
When the body dies, the soul dies too.
After all, health is the most important thing!
