Chapter 573: Tailed Beast Ball vs. Wood Style Kigen Ha!
Chapter 573: Tailed Beast Ball vs. Wood Style Kigen Ha!
The carapace of the Three-Tailed Jifu was deeply dented, and it was in excruciating pain.
However, it was well aware that if it didn't break free from its restraints soon, it would continue to be a sitting target.
Though it was indeed tough and resilient, that didn't mean it enjoyed being a passive punching bag.
After retracting its head into its shell, Jifu also drew its limbs into the shell and curled its massive body into a ball, beginning to spin rapidly!
"Shadow Embrace!"
This was Jifu's only Taijutsu offensive technique. Due to its slow movement, it could only use this rolling method to attack and move quickly.
With its enormous body and the spikes on its back, the rapidly spinning Jifu resembled a high-speed spinning top.
This move was somewhat similar to the Meat Tank technique of Konoha's Akimichi Clan, but the Akimichi's size and weight were no match for the Three-Tailed Jifu.
The spinning body quickly freed itself from the water streams on its surface, and the ball-shaped Jifu, with incredible speed, charged towards Night City.
"Wood Style: Puppet Technique!"
As Night City performed hand seals, a massive tree suddenly grew beneath the water's surface at an astonishing speed, forming a towering wooden statue with an angry expression.
The giant wooden statue, with its hands wrapped in wooden dragons, was no less impressive in size than the Three-Tailed Jifu.
As the rapidly spinning body of Jifu approached, Night City, standing on the wooden statue's forehead, manipulated the statue to punch forward!
"Boom——————!"
The rolling Jifu, with its massive weight, collided head-on with the wooden statue's punch at a distance of just a few dozen meters.
The powerful impact created a massive splash on the water's surface. Due to Jifu's high-speed spinning and the spikes on its back, the wooden statue's fist was instantly shattered into wooden splinters when it punched towards Jifu.
However, as the wooden statue's fist was broken, Jifu's spinning body also came to a halt.
The greatest feature of the Wood Style was its vigorous and unyielding vitality. For the wooden statue, losing an arm was not even considered a serious injury.
Standing on the wooden statue's forehead, Night City quickly channeled chakra, and the statue's previously destroyed arm began to regenerate at a visible speed.
Sensing the danger, the Three-Tailed Jifu tried to retreat, but the next moment, it realized that the wooden dragon that had been coiled around the statue's body had now entangled its own body, binding it tightly.
"Haa——————!"
With Night City's chakra infusion, the statue's arm was restored to its original state in less than an instant.
As the giant wooden statue extended its powerful arms towards Jifu, a sense of foreboding filled the Three-Tailed Jifu.
Indeed, as expected, with a violent tremor, Jifu, restrained by the wooden dragon, couldn't move at all. The next moment, it felt a sense of weightlessness.
Its massive body was lifted high above its head by the wooden statue! It was common knowledge that turtles and flight were incompatible. The heavy shell on its back and its grounded body provided a more secure feeling.
So, as the wooden statue lifted it, Jifu, in a state of weightlessness, could only struggle helplessly. It could guess what was about to happen next.
"Boom——————!"
From afar, watching as the Three-Tailed Jifu was thrown around like a toy, the sensation of an earthquake far surpassing the previous one assaulted him.
Along with a small mountain being flattened, the Three-Tailed Jifu finally came into close contact with the ground that made it feel secure, albeit in a posture with all four limbs in the air.
"Three-Tailed Jifu, I know that you Tailed Beasts are intelligent and capable of communication.
I'll give you one last chance; return to the Jinchuuriki girl's body, or I won't hold back anymore! As Tailed Beasts, you are pure Chakra collectives, so you won't truly die, but if I defeat you, it will take a long time for you to recover your strength and consciousness.
The reason I haven't killed you is that I don't want your Jinchuuriki to die.
But if you continue to be stubborn, I'll have no choice but to defeat you and find another way to save Rin."
The Three-Tailed, thrown with all four limbs in the air, used its two tails behind it as a pivot to roll back. At this moment, its gaze towards Night City began to fill with doubt and uncertainty.
It was wondering who Night City was and how he knew its name, Jifu. In theory, only the Tailed Beasts themselves, the Sage of Six Paths, and their acknowledged Jinchuuriki should know their names.
But this was the first time it, the Three-Tailed Jifu, had met the Konoha Ninja in front of it!
Of course, none of these things mattered now; what was important was that after the previous battle, Jifu had clearly felt that it probably, perhaps, might not be able to defeat the man in front of it.
Having witnessed Night City's Tree World Summoning before, Jifu thought he had only mastered a portion of the Sage of Six Paths' power, but now he had even mastered the Puppet Technique. What was the difference between him and the Sage of Six Paths himself? Jifu was in a miserable state; among the nine Tailed Beasts, it was the most well-behaved, yet it had first been manipulated by the Sharingan and was now being beaten by Wood Style.
The Tailed Beasts were so large, and now they were bullying the most honest one?
Accept the Jinchuuriki's seal? What's the difference between that and a life sentence? After considering this, the Three-Tailed Jifu still decided to fight one last time, as it had yet to use its strongest Great Art.
Sphere-shaped blue and purple Chakra suddenly appeared in front of the Three-Tailed Jifu, rapidly gathering into a larger purple-black sphere in front of its large face.
The Tailed Beast Ball, the ultimate weapon of the Tailed Beasts and their Jinchuuriki forms, was a highly compressed ball of Chakra with an 8:2 Yin-Yang ratio. Its power was strong enough to instantly destroy a mountain.
"If you can take this Tailed Beast Ball, I'll accept this girl as my Jinchuuriki."
While gathering and compressing the Tailed Beast Ball, the Three-Tailed Jifu's voice also directly entered Night City's mind.
Night City readily accepted Jifu's proposal and manipulated the wooden puppet to bring its palms together at its waist.
A dazzling white light began to shine, and between the wooden puppet's palms, a sphere emitting blue-white Kigen Ha appeared. At this moment, the white light, like a sword, pierced through the puppet's fingers and radiated outwards!
