My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 172

One-Tails Shukaku, Two-Tails Matatabi, Three-Tails Isobu, Four-Tails Son Goku, Five-Tails Kokuo, Six-Tails Saiken, Seven-Tails Chomei, Eight-Tails Gyuki, Nine-Tails Kurama.

You counted the nine Tailed Beasts restrained within the barrier.

The “Tailed Beast Sealing Array,” which possessed the chakra power of all nine Tailed Beasts, was now showcasing its most formidable aspect.

Like a whale devouring a dragon, it ferociously absorbed the natural energy diffused across the sea, continuously reinforcing the barrier’s strength. The Tailed Beast chakra, which you had previously consumed entirely, was now restored to its full power!

You picked up a massive boulder and threw it into the barrier. In a mere blink of an eye, the boulder was pulverized into dust by the turbulent chakra flowing within!

Truly worthy of being a sealing jutsu that mimicked the power of the God Tree!

At this moment, you felt pleased with yourself for being able to create such a sealing jutsu!

However, the immediate priority was to have Nagato become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible, capture Black Zetsu, and then learn of the Sage of Six Paths’ schemes from him.

You separately extracted the Nine-Tails and Three-Tails, then summoned the Dark Fang Yellow Spring, which had officially become a divine tool. With a swing of its scythe blade, it effortlessly cut off one-third of the chakra from both of them.

First, you carefully wrapped the two portions intended for Nagato.

You suddenly remembered that neither you nor Nagato seemed to know how to control the Gedo Mazo or how to make it absorb the nine Tailed Beasts to evolve into the Ten-Tails.

Even Nagato, who spent all his time with the Gedo Mazo, only knew how to throw Tailed Beasts into it…

Neither Obito nor Black Zetsu, in order to control Nagato, had ever revealed the true method of using the Gedo Mazo.

It was thanks to Nagato’s tenacious vitality that he could barely drive it by letting the Gedo Mazo absorb his own chakra and life force!

Fortunately, sealing Black Zetsu now didn’t solely rely on the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki’s Six Paths empowered Chibaku Tensei.

After all, you were now a true demigod, capable of employing divine means.

Even if you couldn’t seal Black Zetsu forever, keeping him confined for at least one or two hundred years was not a problem!

However, the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was still important:

Your immediate priority was to improve your strength as quickly as possible, then advance to true godhood, and team up with the Shinigami to invade the Pure Land and completely eliminate the Sage of Six Paths, the mastermind behind everything.

Therefore, to prevent him from launching a sudden attack from the current world, it was especially important to have Nagato acquire the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, become a demigod, and directly sweep through and suppress all enemies!

You decided to seal all nine Tailed Beasts within Nagato simultaneously.

This would allow his body to recover somewhat and recuperate from the depletion caused by the Gedo Mazo!

At the same time, it would prepare him in advance for becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki later.

If luck was on your side, it might even enable Nagato to independently master the power of the nine Tailed Beasts, thereby gaining additional auxiliary abilities derived from the Tailed Beasts’ Kekkei Genkai!

However, Nagato’s current physical condition was extremely poor and couldn’t tolerate any mistakes.

For this reason, you decided to conduct an experiment on your own demigod body, which possessed two types of rule powers.

Since you had already left one-third of each Tailed Beast as backup, you had ample materials, and there were no obstacles or pressure in proceeding.

However, to be safe, you still used a combination of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style and the Adamantine Chains to successively seal the nine Tailed Beasts into your body.

It seemed that your demigod body, tempered by two rules, inherently possessed some kind of sealing ability. You even felt that even without using these sealing jutsus, your Ootsutsuki chakra alone would be enough to suppress the nine Tailed Beasts.

However, being too powerful was not always beneficial.

Although you completed the sealing of the Tailed Beasts, you felt that the resulting improvement was negligible. Aside from a not-too-much, not-too-little increase in your chakra volume, there were no other effects.

Thinking about it, you basically possessed the Kekkei Genkai powers that these Tailed Beasts had, and even abilities that the Tailed Beasts didn’t have, you also mastered quite a few.

Your chakra volume was also at the Ootsutsuki level.

Not to mention that simultaneously sealing the nine Tailed Beasts wouldn’t yield much benefit; even directly becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki would only add one more Truth-Seeking Orb.

Moreover, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was ultimately still a jinchuriki. Although they possessed the power of a demigod, divine power, and Six Paths power, it was ultimately not their own and could easily be stripped away…

However, there was a way to utilize it.

To ensure that the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts could be fully utilized, you directly set up a “Tailed Beast Sealing Array” within your body, mimicking the power of the God Tree, and then guided it with the Wood Release from your own bloodline.

Instantly, your perception of the natural energy in the surrounding world became much stronger.

You even had a feeling that you could directly absorb natural energy and convert it for your own use!

However, this conversion for your own use was to directly transform natural energy into Ootsutsuki clan chakra, not senjutsu energy.

The reason for this was that you were mimicking the power of the God Tree, so naturally, there was only one way to convert it into chakra…

However, if you were to practice senjutsu later, you could skip the step of sensing and absorbing natural energy that others required, and also avoid the side effects of failed training. After all, if the conversion failed, you only needed to use the Tailed Beast barrier mimicking the God Tree to convert it into chakra.

Or, if you had to fight until your chakra was depleted, you could quickly replenish your strength…

If only you could refine pills!

Looking at the slightly bloated and unstable absorption barrier within your body, you couldn’t help but think that if you had Ootsutsuki Urashiki’s fishing basket, perhaps it wouldn’t be so troublesome!

However, although you couldn’t refine them into pills, out of the Ootsutsuki clan’s instinct, you were able to compress items with lower chakra density than your own.

And the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, while indeed powerful for ordinary people, was like a sponge in your hands.

With a little effort, plus the suppression of your Sharingan, you compressed the nine Tailed Beasts into one while maintaining the structure of the “Tailed Beast Sealing Array”!

It condensed into a smooth, round pearl glowing with red and white light.

This way, you wouldn’t have to worry about the unstable factor of the Tailed Beasts suddenly regaining consciousness and interfering with your power within your body.

At the same time, it retained their ability to absorb and convert natural energy. In fact, after your preliminary refinement, the Tailed Beasts condensed into a pearl had even stronger absorption capabilities than before!

Everything was ready.

After harvesting another full jar of bloodline essence from the underground base, you took the items in your hand, leaving only five Wood Clone Sentinels to guard the home.

Then, you activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and headed to Amegakure for Nagato to take the first step towards becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Upon arrival, you asked Nagato about Black Zetsu and Obito’s recent movements.

These two had already suspected that he and you, the leader of the Ghost Mask Organization, had established some kind of transaction.

However, they were powerless to take down Nagato and could only rely on your Wood Clone to collect the Tailed Beasts.

Although this plan was proceeding quite effectively, and your Wood Clone successfully captured the Six, Seven, and Eight-Tails, it also completely exposed Black Zetsu’s action plan to your eyes.

From being the initial puppet master of the ninja world, he had become a self-important clown.

Every move was within your predictions.

And now, it was time to close the net…
