Chapter 100 Gen Takuno VS Two-Tailed Yukito
Chapter 100 Minamoto Takuno VS Two-Tailed Yugito (Part 2)
On the other side of Gen Takuno, the situation of the exposed shadow clones was also clear.
The Vajra Lock behind him also shattered and disappeared, but his body was not burned in the slightest by the flames of the Two-Tailed Fox.
Because the moment the flames hit his body, the sealing scroll held high in the shadow clone's hand had already been unfurled, and the "Fire Sealing Seal" that he had prepared in advance was clearly engraved on it.
Like a giant whale sucking in water, it devoured the Tailed Beast's raging flames, which were powerful enough to melt rocks!
Having accomplished its mission, the shadow clone vanished as the earth trembled.
The smoke and dust that filled the entire battlefield obscured all vision like a thick curtain, but for Minamoto Takuno, who had awakened Kagura's Mind's Eye, it was nothing more than a transparent obstacle.
His senses clearly detected that the enormous life force at the bottom of the pit, despite its violent fluctuations and weakening, was still stubbornly churning.
"Can you still fight?" Yuan Tuono hovered in mid-air, looking down, a cold smile curving his lips. "Heh, that won't do—"
In the palm of his hand, a storm of destruction began to gather, swirl, and compress.
The raging energy spun, compressed, and spun again under his control!
A gigantic chakra shuriken, as tall as two people, instantly materialized and floated above his palm!
Wind Release: Rasengan!
A blinding white light flowed around the core, and the high-speed rotating wind blades emitted a whistling sound powerful enough to tear apart the soul! The escaping fine wind needles had already easily cleaved the air beneath Yuan Tuoye's feet.
This size has surpassed that of the regular version!
Although its enormous size made it difficult to throw it at agile targets, the giant beast at the bottom of the pit had taken that extreme punch head-on. At this moment, it was probably in a state of mental confusion. The instantaneous stiffness caused by that huge injury was the opportunity for a fatal blow!
Yuan Tuoye didn't even choose to throw; he simply slowly released his right hand.
The Wind Release: Rasengan, carrying a piercing death proclamation, slowly drifted down and gently imprinted itself on the unsuspecting head of the Two-Tails, Matatabi.
"boom!!!"
An energy storm suddenly erupted, centered on the point where the spiral shuriken landed!
The countless fine needles of wind, compressed to their extreme, instantly spread, rotated, tore, and cut!
A dazzling white light intertwined with a frenzied pale blue energy, completely engulfing the enormous body of the Two-Tailed Matatabi!
"Meow!!!"
The earth-shattering roar of the two-tailed beast Matatabi was twisted and distorted in extreme pain, becoming as mournful as the agonizing howl of an ordinary house cat thrown into a raging fire!
Its massive body was constantly being torn apart and cut in the destructive storm!
Yuan Tuoye hovered above the smoke and dust at the edge of the storm, his wind-style chakra spreading out from the ashes. His figure appeared cold and majestic against the backdrop of the raging storm of light and shadow.
He stared indifferently at the struggling, dying beast below, and did not give up.
Golden light shone behind him.
Dozens of gleaming, incredibly sturdy Vajra chains once again burst forth, precisely binding the giant beast's body, which was twisting and struggling in the storm, its limbs, neck, waist, and even its two still weakly struggling fiery tails!
This time, the chains easily pierced through the flesh, whose defenses had been completely destroyed by the spiral shuriken, and locked it tightly!
Matatabi's massive body convulsed violently twice, finally unable to withstand the successive devastating blows and the suppression from the seal originating from his bloodline.
The ferocity in the crimson beast's eyes gradually faded, replaced by extreme pain and a profound sense of powerlessness.
It struggled briefly in the lingering force of the storm before collapsing completely, like a broken mountain, powerless to resist the golden chains that clung to it like maggots.
Yuan Tuoye landed gracefully, landing steadily on the ground covered with rubble from the giant crater.
He looked down at the enormous cat head so close to him, its skin torn and its huge eyes lifeless, only heavy breathing proving that it was not yet completely dead.
The cold incantations began to spread along the chains of the Vajra Seal on the massive body of the Two-Tailed Matatabi, as if they were alive.
Throughout the entire process, the Two-Tails completely lost the will and ability to resist.
He was struck in a vital spot by a punch with the power to level mountains, and then, completely unprepared, he was caught off guard and swallowed whole by the complete S-rank ultimate technique, Wind Release: Rasengan.
Even a tailed beast with immense vitality couldn't withstand such a double devastating blow!
"After all—" Gen Takuno began to form complex hand seals, his cold voice echoing in the receding storm pit, "Not all tailed beasts have the strength of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails."
There are reasons why he dared to face the Two-Tails alone, which even Jiraiya couldn't do much against.
In his non-tailed beast form, Yugito's strength is at most comparable to that of a near-Kage. Only after fully transforming into a tailed beast does he have the strength to barely contend with Jiraiya.
However, the problem is that Jiraiya didn't have a good way to deal with the Two-Tails, but that doesn't mean Minamoto no Takuno didn't.
Each chain of his Adamantine Lock possesses powerful sealing energy, making it a perfect counter to the Tailed Beasts.
Therefore, the Two-Tails was able to unleash its full power against Jiraiya, but against Minamoto no Takuno, its strength was instantly reduced to a lower level.
Although Minamoto no Takuno had only sparred with Orochimaru once before, he was already well aware of his own strength.
While he might not have been anything special during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was already one of the few top-tier powerhouses during this period!
Soon, a large number of azure runes radiating sealing power covered most of the body of the Two-Tails Matatabi.
"Sealing Technique: Chakra Separation Technique!"
The spells that were wrapped around the entire body of the two-tailed tauren suddenly burst out with dazzling light!
The light completely engulfed the enormous body of the creature, wrapping it into a huge cocoon of light!
Just a few breaths later, the light dissipated.
Before Gen Takuya, a sphere, shrunk countless times in size but containing an indescribable amount of immense and pure chakra, floated in front of him, emitting a faint, unique energy fluctuation belonging to the Two-Tails.
Gen Takuno sensed the expected amount of chakra within it, and a genuinely satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.
The body of the creature that once occupied the giant pit, resembling a small mountain, has disappeared.
Yugito, now only humanoid in shape, lay on the spot, covered in blood, his clothes tattered, his body covered with terrible lacerations and burn marks caused by the forced separation of his chakra. He was barely breathing as he lay amidst the cold rubble and pool of blood.
A heavy stench of blood mixed with the smell of earth permeated the ravaged battlefield.
Yukito lay helplessly on his back beside the broken stones and charred tree roots, each rapid breath causing excruciating pain that felt like his internal organs were out of place.
Her vision began to blur, and just then, a pair of steady boots stopped in the shadows at the edge of her line of sight.
"Cough—cough cough—" Uncontrollable blood gushed from her lips again, staining her chest red.
She struggled to lift her eyelids and saw the masked man looking down at her, a man who seemed like a nightmare.
Yuan Tuoye slowly squatted down, gently lifting Yukido's stubbornly shaped chin, forcing her to meet his unfathomable eyes.
Yukito's chest heaved violently, her wounds burning as if scorched by fire, but what burned in her eyes was not submission, but a furious rage bordering on despair.
"Either give me a quick and clean end, or—get out of here!" Her voice was hoarse and broken, with muffled groans of pain between her words.
This was less a threat and more a dying person's last plea, tinged with dignity.
"Oh?" Yuan Tuoye raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, his tone revealing a genuine hint of amusement and—curiosity?
"Actively seeking death? That's quite rare."
Yukito's cloudy pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of disbelief and confusion flashed across his pale face, which was ashen from blood loss.
"You—you didn't intend to kill me?" Her voice trembled without her even realizing it.
A low chuckle rolled in Yuan Tuoye's throat.
He withdrew his fingers, casually brushed off the fine dust clinging to his fingertips, his posture relaxed.
"I just want to make a deal with you: trade your life for a small portion of the Two-Tails' chakra. How about it? Pretty good deal, right?"
silence.
Yukito seemed to be frozen in time.
My mind went blank, with only Yuan Tuoye's nonchalant words buzzing in my head.
He actually—did it all just for a portion of the Two-Tails' chakra?!
This realization overwhelmed her like icy seawater, chilling her to the bone.
Immense regret gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.
If, if she had paid this insignificant price earlier, would those companions she risked her life to protect still be standing in the sunlight right now?
Without the unpredictable and terrifying enemy, Minamoto no Takuno, the battlefield situation between Kumogakure and Konoha might not be what it is today.
Yukito's thoughts were as chaotic and struggling as fallen leaves in a storm.
However, cruel reason instantly pulled her back to the cold reality. Even if time could be reversed, knowing the existence and purpose of Minamoto no Takuno, as proud as she was, as the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails and shouldering the mission of protecting Kumogakure, would she really choose to compromise?
No! The only answer is to gather the strongest ninjas, launch a siege, and vow to kill this dangerous guy!
Just then, an absurd yet incredibly clear thought pierced through her chaotic thoughts!
"You—" Yugito's voice suddenly rose, "You're not from Konoha?!"
All the irrationality comes together at this moment!
Although he could use the iconic Rasengan, and at that time she even suspected that he was the Fourth Hokage, he never showed the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was on par with it.
The Adamantine Lock that later locked the Tailed Beasts in place was clearly a unique secret technique of the Uzumaki clan.
These clues all point to Konoha, which should be beyond doubt.
But this man before her, he actually intends to let her go? On the bloody battlefield, to let go of the enemy's crucial fighting force?
No ninja truly loyal to Konoha would ever do something so absurd and tantamount to aiding the enemy! This violates the most fundamental laws of war!
"Hmm?" Yuan Tuoye seemed amused by her sudden realization.
The playful smile on his lips deepened, and he casually raised his right hand, palm up.
In an instant, a blue sphere of light materialized out of thin air; it was the Rasengan that had left her with unforgettable and painful memories!
"Are you basing your judgment on this alone?"
Upon seeing that familiar Rasengan, every muscle in Yugito's body trembled with fear.
The intense pain overwhelmed her weakened defenses, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back, as if she were terrified that the Rasengan would land on her again.
Just then, Gen Takuno put away the Rasengan, and then—
"Sizzle!"
The next instant, dazzling lightning burst forth from Yuan Tuoye's body without warning!
Dense, woven arcs of azure electricity, like wildly dancing serpents, leaped and coiled violently across his body, emitting a piercing crackling sound.
"Lightning Release: Chakra Mode?!" Yugito's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints as he exclaimed in shock!
How is this possible?! This secret technique is a core secret that only a very few elites among elites are qualified to access, even within the entire Hidden Cloud Village! It is the pinnacle symbol of Hidden Cloud's power and speed!
Of course, she didn't know that the lightning energy emanating from Yuan Tuoye at this moment, although seemingly fierce and violent, was actually like an exquisite flower stand, with only its gorgeous appearance but no real inner secret essence.
This was merely a "fake" that he meticulously imitated using fragments of his past life's memories and his exquisite control over chakra.
But in the eyes of a Jinchūriki who is severely injured, on the verge of death, and whose senses have long been dulled, this illusion is realistic enough!
