The Eight-Tailed Horns Crunch!

In no time, Hoshino Shizuka Hideichi chewed it up and swallowed it.

The term tree then reacted.

Entry: [Devourer]

Acquisition condition: Consume the flesh and blood of the Four-Tailed Fox and the Eight-Tailed Fox.

Effects: 100% improvement in physique, 100% improvement in physical compatibility, 100% improvement in digestion, and 100% improvement in recovery; if you can even eat tailed beasts, what can't you eat?

Xingxia Xiuyi immediately chose to activate this entry.

Physical fitness is improved, and the maximum chakra limit is increased.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body felt warm, and Hoshino Shuichi could feel the eight-tailed horn he had eaten being digested little by little in his body.

This was a different feeling than when I ate the flesh of the Four-Tailed Fox before.

"This is……"

Hoshino Shuichi's expression changed slightly; he could feel his physique altering.

Or rather, it's the power of the Eight-Tails combining with its own body.

"Is this what they call physical compatibility?"

Hoshita Shuichi secretly speculated: "When I ate the Eight-Tails' horn, I digested it directly, instead of turning it into a stream of chakra like the Four-Tails' flesh and blood before."

A moment later, Hoshino Shizuka had a sudden thought, and a surge of tailed beast chakra appeared on his body.

Eight-Tails Chakra!

However, this chakra did not come from the seal in his abdomen, but was extracted by Hoshino Shuichi from his own body.

After carefully sensing his surroundings, Hoshino Shuichi quickly concluded, "I should now possess the genes of the Eight-Tails..."

"Then, I'm afraid the Golden Horn and Silver Horn are in the same state as I am now."

"Is this the effect of physical compatibility?"

Hoshino Shizuka showed a look of delight, but then frowned.

Because not all of his chakra turned into the Eight-Tails' chakra, but rather it was as if he had gained a nature transformation, a bloodline limit, and this power had an upper limit.

Glug glug!

The tailed beast chakra on its body became increasingly concentrated, and a tail also appeared behind its rear end.

"At most, it only has one tail... that's a bit lacking."

Hoshinoichi's gaze immediately fell on the Eight-Tails' horn.

Should we eat them all?

Eat it!

Hoshita Shuichi picked up his knife and continued slicing the Eight-Tails' horn, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it frantically.

clack clack...

The sounds coming from the quiet laboratory were like mice stealing food.

Hoshino Hideichi ate very quickly, and his whole body felt warm, especially his stomach, which felt like a small furnace, all cozy and warm.

This is where its amazing digestive ability comes into play.

Uh……

Hoshino Shuichi suddenly couldn't help but burp, with only one piece left in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Tsunade's voice suddenly rang out.

Hoshino Shuichi was startled and turned around to see Tsunade standing at the door, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"You... on your lips."

Gang pointed.

Hoshino Hideichi quickly wiped his mouth and explained nonchalantly, "Um... I was really hungry just now, so I ate some snacks first."

Tsunade didn't seem to care and nodded.

However, she soon noticed that the eight-tailed horn inside the glass jar had disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Hoshino Hideichi quickly explained, "I extracted some of the Eight-Tails' chakra from the Cloud Ninja battlefield, so I used that chakra to mature the Eight-Tails' horns and then sealed them into my body."

Tsunade didn't suspect anything, but simply asked, "Were there any samples of the Eight-Tails' cells left behind?"

Hoshita Shuichi quickly raised the last piece of the Eight-Tailed Fox's horn in his hand: "Of course!"

Tsunade sensed something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she nodded and turned to leave.

Hoshino Hideichi let out a long breath and then put the last piece of the Eight-Tailed Horn back into the glass jar.

They should indeed continue to be cultivated, not for continued consumption, but for future experiments.

Then, Hoshino Shuichi checked his condition again, and the Eight-Tails' chakra appeared on his body, while tails began to condense behind him.

Six tails!

"This is the limit..."

Hoshino Shuichi withdrew the Eight-Tails chakra from his body and quickly grasped a point: "I don't think I was maliciously attacked by the tailed beast chakra just now."

"So..."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately released his seal on the Eight-Tails' chakra, and a torrent of Eight-Tails chakra surged forth.

Then, this chakra immediately merged into his body like water being absorbed by the sea, combining with the genes of the Eight-Tails.

The malice of the tailed beast chakra had no effect on him either.

"Am I practically half an Eight-Tails now?"

Xingxia Xiu's face lit up with delight: "Physical compatibility, truly amazing."

"If I could devour all nine tailed beasts and collect their genes, my body would probably become incredibly powerful, right?"

"Little Ten-Tails?"

"But I don't think I can eat a one-tailed fox with a sandy body!"

"Are you suggesting we eat his sand?"

Hoshino Shizuka looked slightly troubled.

Next up is the four-tailed one!

Hoshino Hideaki looked at the four tails in another glass jar: "Let's nurture them to full size first, and then come back to eat them later. Let's save some room to go home and eat Asuka-neechan's cooking."

He immediately took out the Four-Tails' tail and used its chakra to make it grow rapidly, then put it back after it reached its complete form.

Afterwards, Hoshino Shuichi left the laboratory to browse the research materials left by Tsunade during this period.

Before they knew it, it was evening. Hoshino Hideichi put down his documents and called Tsunade to go home together.

When they arrived home, Pharmacist Nono and Shizune were already back and helping in the kitchen. The dishes were almost finished and looked incredibly delicious.

Tsunade didn't stand on ceremony at all, reaching out to grab a large shrimp and eating it while reaching for the wine.

Upon seeing this, Shizune immediately scolded, "Lady Tsunade, you haven't washed your hands yet!"

Tsunade didn't care at all: "Don't worry, I already washed it at the experimental base."

A moment later, everyone took their seats and began to eat.

They ate delicious food and chatted happily.

Hoshino Shuichi really enjoyed this warm atmosphere.

The meal took almost an hour to finish.

Tsunade was slightly drunk and was helped away by Shizune.

Pharmacist Nono and Asuka were busy cleaning when Hoshino Shuichi stepped out of the house. The evening breeze made his hair flutter, and he felt even more relaxed.

As I walked through the bustling streets, surrounded by the lights of countless homes, the brutal war seemed like an illusion.

After passing through the streets, Hoshino Shizuka used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the experimental base.

After taking out the tail of the four-tailed beast, Hoshino Hideichi didn't know how to start eating it for a moment.

Hmm... first, shave!

Peel it again.

Then slice it.

I just finished eating raw octopus tail slices, and now I'm eating raw monkey tail slices.

Hmm, this tastes pretty good.

One piece after another, Hoshino Shizuka ate faster and faster, and his stomach quickly became burning hot.

In the end, he only kept one piece as a culture source, and ate all the remaining monkey tails.

A surge of scalding power coursed through his body, and Hoshino Shuichi keenly sensed the enhancement of his Lava Release power.

When the fusion was nearly complete, he immediately mobilized the power of the four tails within his body, covering his entire body with tailed beast chakra, and two tails appeared behind him one after another.

At its highest level of two-tailed form, it's so-so.

However, Hoshino Shuichi was quite satisfied.

He then assessed his physical condition, or rather, his chakra limit.

0.25 Shukaku!

In other words, Shukaku's chakra is now about four times that of his.

Before obtaining the "Devourer" attribute, consuming the tailed beast's flesh, and acquiring the genes of the Eight-Tails and Four-Tails, the One-Tailed Shukaku was about nine times his size.

This excludes the chakra of the Four-Tails in its Two-Tails state and the chakra of the Eight-Tails in its Six-Tails state.

If we add it, then...

"The chakra I possess already surpasses that of the One-Tailed Beast..."

Hoshino Shuichi roughly estimated: "It's about on par with the Four-Tails."

Of course, this does not include the Yin Seal on the forehead and heart, nor the One-Tailed, Four-Tailed, or even the reduced Eight-Tailed Chakra sealed in the abdomen.

Xingxia Xiuyi was overjoyed.

While having a large amount of chakra does not necessarily mean being powerful.

But chakra is the foundation of power!

Now Hoshino Shuichi can finally say that he is a tailless tailed beast, a humanoid tailed beast!

Moreover, he is not even 13 years old yet!

Even if his physique can no longer be improved from now on, as he continues to cultivate and explore, his body will grow, and his chakra will also increase day by day.

If he continues to be compared to Kakashi when he is an adult, he will be more than a hundred times stronger.

Perhaps it can't compare to the Nine-Tails or Hashirama Senju, but it's already enough to make it stand out in the ninja world.

"The Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

"I wouldn't even be a dog!"

Hoshino Shuichi's confidence exploded.

Of course, the most important thing is that there's a term called "Devourer"!

……

The mountain cemetery, deep underground.

Upon returning from outside, White Zetsu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. In an exaggerated tone, he said to the elderly Uchiha Madara, "Lord Madara, I have obtained a very, very important piece of information this time."

Madara Uchiha didn't even lift his eyelids: "Is it that brat named Hoshita Shuichi again?"

"Did you capture the Eight-Tails as well?"

Bai Jue gave an awkward smile: "Well... of course not."

"This is related to your plans, Lord Madara."

"It seems the Uchiha clan's eyes are being targeted; Konoha's Root organization is collecting them!"

"Furthermore, the person you, Lord Madara, have your eye on is also being targeted by that guy named Danzo!"

Madara Uchiha finally opened his eyes upon hearing this: "Oh?"

"Who is it?"

White Zetsu immediately said, "It's that guy named Uchiha Yu!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha said, "Then go and help him, so that he can see the true nature of this world."

White Zetsu nodded immediately, then asked curiously, "Lord Madara, what if he hadn't activated the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Madara Uchiha glanced at White Zetsu: "Then I'll leave it to you."

White Zetsu was immediately delighted: "Lord Madara, you are truly generous."

Madara Uchiha ignored the gossipy guy and slowly lowered his eyes.

White Zetsu whispered to another White Zetsu in a vortex for a while before leaving the cave.

……

The battlefield of Iwagakure.

After the Iwa ninja repelled the Kumo ninja's invasion and adopted a more hardline stance on peace talks, the war with Konoha and Sunagakure continued to escalate.

Battlefields are scattered across the borders of the Bird Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Rain Kingdom.

The three parties thus engaged in both peace talks and small-scale skirmishes.

The Iwagakure ninja, attempting to reclaim the interests of the Land of Birds, were even more aggressive towards Konoha, demanding not only the return of the Four-Tails but also the life of Hoshinobi Shuichi as compensation for Iwagakure's losses.

Meanwhile, on the dark earth, many ninjas were fighting each other.

The land of rain, where torrential rain is falling.

Uchiha Yu fled in a disheveled state, his scarlet eyes standing out even more in the darkness.

"hateful……"

"These bastards are definitely not Iwa ninja!"

Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth.

His squad was ambushed, and everyone else was killed, leaving him the only one who managed to break through.

Although the opponent was dressed as an Iwa ninja, their fighting style was completely different.

shhhhh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and then two "Iwa ninja" blocked the way ahead, while two more "Iwa ninja" caught up from behind.

We're surrounded!

"It seems the only option is to fight to the death and wipe out all these bastards, to preserve peace for the dead..."

Uchiha Yu gripped his kunai tightly.

Just then, White Zetsu emerged from underground: "That was truly spectacular!"

Both Uchiha Yu and the "Iwa Ninja" were startled and looked at White Zetsu warily.

"Who are you, you bastard?"

Iwashinobu demanded an answer.

"Me?"

White Zetsu stroked his chin, deep in thought, then suddenly realized, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm not human!"

"Because I am a noble android!"

"By the way, do you guys know what a cyborg is?"

"Iwagakure" and Uchiha Yuto looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Kill him too!"

"Iwa-nin" shouted.

But the next moment, their chakra rapidly drained away, and a White Zetsu grew from their bodies and wrapped around them.

"What is this?"

"Damn it, my chakra has been drained!"

Wood Release: Spore Technique!

Uchiha Yu watched this scene in shock.

Bai Jue quickly reminded him, "Hey, hurry up and take them down!"

"Oh, and don't forget to leave one alive!"

Uchiha Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately made his move.

Puff puff!

Three "Iwa Ninja" fell to the ground, and the last one was also controlled by Uchiha Yu using genjutsu.

White Zetsu approached Uchiha Yu: "You don't need my guidance anymore, right?"

"Interrogating them using genjutsu is something the Uchiha are best at!"

Uchiha Yu stared at White Zetsu and demanded in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

White Zetsu shrugs: "I've already said it, androids!"

"A higher life form that doesn't need to eat or defecate!"

After saying that, White Zetsu pointed at the "Iwa ninja" who was controlled by genjutsu: "Hey, don't you want to know their identities?"

"It's really fun!"

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward to begin the interrogation.

Then, even though he was hypnotized, just as the "Iwa ninja" was about to reveal the secret, he suddenly became paralyzed and unable to move, even with genjutsu hypnosis.

"What?"

Uchiha Yu was taken aback.

White Zetsu stepped forward curiously, then pried open the "Iwa Ninja's" mouth and pulled out its tongue: "Wow, it even has a cursed seal!"

"By the way, do you recognize this cursed seal?"

White Zetsu turned his body to the side and looked at Uchiha Yu.

Uchiha Yu stared at him with a gloomy expression, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He didn't recognize the curse mark, but he already knew the answer.

The seal of the root of all calamities is the tongue!

He had never seen it with his own eyes before, but he had heard of it.

Such an effect is so strong that even the hypnosis of the Sharingan was ineffective; it's absolutely true.

"hateful……"

Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth: "These bastards, why?"
