shhhhhh!

As he spoke, Yin Jiuwei's tails roared out, and the Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensed in his mouth.

Splash!

The Fiery Netherworld Locks appeared at will, roaring out from the ground and binding Yin Jiuwei's limbs, body, and tails.

Immediately afterward, Hoshino appeared above Kurama's head in a flash, his body crackling with electricity, clearly having activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

boom!

With a single punch, the Nine-Tails' head slammed to the ground, and the Tailed Beast Ball dissipated.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Shizuka's three shadow clones had already completed their ninjutsu.

Scorching Release: Rasengan!

Lava Release: Rasengan!

Magnet Release: Rasengan!

"What?"

There's no need to be surprised by Yin Jiuwei's appearance.

"Kurama, I forgot to tell you, although I'm Minato's disciple, I'm the one who developed the Rasenshuriken technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingxia Xiuyi's figure disappeared from above Yin Jiuwei's head.

Immediately afterwards, the Magnet Release Rasengan arrived with a whoosh, striking Yin Nine-Tails. The power of the Magnet Release erupted, completely rendering him powerless to resist.

Next, the Lava Release: Rasengan and the Scorch Release: Rasengan struck the Yin Nine-Tails, completely shattering its defenses, and the Nine-Tails' chakra poured out.

Hoshino Hideichi immediately grabbed it and pulled hard to take it away.

Seeing this, Shukaku scoffed, "This guy's power has increased again!"

"But that Nine-Tails is really pitiful!"

……

"hateful……"

Yin Jiuwei was furious as he watched as Xingxia Xiuyi easily stole his chakra. He had to admit that he had underestimated this guy.

"But don't think you can gain my power just like that!"

Yin Jiuwei snorted coldly, and her violent malice immediately surged towards Xingxia Xiuyi along with her chakra.

However, he discovered that his malice had no effect on Hoshino Shuichi at all.

"How is this possible?"

Yin Jiuwei is unbelievable.

Seeing the Nine-Tails' appearance, the Four-Tails couldn't help but recall the fate of its previous clone, and immediately felt a sense of balance, saying, "Nine-Tails, don't waste your energy, this guy's mind is extraordinary."

"Moreover, he is exceptionally clear-headed, able to face all good and evil, and able to confront any aspect of himself."

"When it comes to malice, this guy's malice hidden deep inside is no less than ours."

Shukaku laughed and mocked, "You stinky fox, you're such a waste. You couldn't even last 30 seconds, yet you boast that you're the strongest tailed beast."

Yin Jiuwei was furious: "You two bastards, shouldn't you have helped me kill this guy?"

Shukaku remained sprawled out, saying lazily, "I have no interest in teaming up with an arrogant, self-important guy like you."

"Besides, after killing this guy, I'll be captured and sealed inside someone else's stomach. If I become part of the Ten-Tails, that would be troublesome. This place is pretty good."

Four-Tails then added, "Nine-Tails, you'll get used to it."

"If what this guy says is true, you should understand that it will be much safer here."

"We can't resist the power of the Sharingan and Rinnegan!"

Yin Jiuwei was furious when she heard this. These two guys had absolutely no fighting spirit!

At this point, the effects of the Spiral Shuriken had subsided, and the recovered Yin Jiuwei immediately cut off its leaking power.

Even so, it made him lose weight instantly.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but secretly praise, "As expected of the strongest tailed beast, even just half of its body has more chakra than the entire Eight-Tails."

He previously extracted Shukaku's chakra, causing Shukaku to shrink, while the Yin Nine-Tails only became thinner.

Moreover, the chakra he stole was far greater than that possessed by Shukaku and the Four-Tails in their complete form.

One can imagine how enormous the chakra of the fully-formed Nine-Tails would be.

Of course, this refers only to power, or rather, chakra.

This doesn't represent absolute strength, although in a fight, the Nine-Tails would likely be the strongest among the tailed beasts.

From the Nine-Tails, we can see the extent of Hashirama Senju's monstrous nature.

"It can now be basically confirmed that the Nine-Tails' power exceeds the combined power of the other eight tailed beasts."

Hoshino Shuichi thought to himself, "I'm about the same level as Shukaku right now. If I keep digging, I shouldn't be any worse than the Four-Tails when I grow up."

"But it's still far from being as powerful as the Nine-Tails; its physique needs further improvement!"

"If it doubles, it won't take many times to reach the level of the Nine-Tails."

"Furthermore, consuming the flesh and blood of tailed beasts can also improve my physique..."

The physical compatibility feature, along with the "devourer" tag, gives Hoshino Shuichi even more possibilities.

After resealing Yin Jiuwei, Xingxia Xiuyi said nothing more and disappeared.

……

In the secluded room, Xingxia Xiuyi opened his eyes.

The next moment, a golden Nine-Tails chakra cloak covered his entire body.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!

Standing up, Hoshino Shizuka looked himself over.

There are six magatama at the neckline, below which is a black curse mark extending to the hands and shoulders.

Further down is a spiral pattern on the abdomen of an inverted bell, which represents the Bagua seal.

The Nine-Tails' chakra also originates from here, and the black cursed seal patterns actually represent the pathway of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

This appearance is exactly the same as the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode in his memory.

"He's really handsome!"

After observing for a moment, Hoshino Shizuka looked away and then carefully sensed the state of the body.

"It is in no way inferior to Sage Mode, and it is also completely different from the modes of other tailed beasts."

"The Nine-Tails' chakra is indeed completely different from that of the other tailed beasts."

Hoshino Hideichi pondered for a moment.

He generally uses the chakra of Shukaku, the Four-Tails, and the Eight-Tails in two ways.

One method is to convert the Eight Trigrams Seal into one's own physical strength to restore chakra.

Secondly, it can be used directly to perform ninjutsu, in which case the tailed beast chakra is simply tailed beast chakra.

But the Nine-Tails' chakra is different!

"The Nine-Tails' chakra that I stole automatically matched my own chakra, making it indistinguishable from my own chakra when I controlled it, but its quality was that of the Nine-Tails' chakra."

"My chakra quality is already quite high, but it's still far inferior to Kurama's, and the increase in all aspects comes from this."

"The reason why the Tailed Beasts are so powerful is not only because of their enormous chakra reserves, but also because of the differences in the quality of their chakra!"

Shuichi Hoshino felt this more and more deeply: "From the One-Tailed to the Nine-Tailed, the more tails one has, the closer one gets to the power of the Ten-Tailed."

"The power of the Ten-Tails originates from natural energy."

"Therefore, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Sage Mode are comparable. The former is in harmony with my own chakra, while the latter is a fusion of natural energy with my own spiritual and physical power. They are similar in their essence."

Hoshino Hideichi's expression was solemn: "Therefore, natural energy is the true path!"

"Sage Mode... Sage!"

"The path of the Sage can lead to the Ten-Tails, or even more."

"However, even if one wants to become an existence like Gamamaru or the Snake Sage, relying solely on Sage Mode is not enough."

Although there is no clear path, Hoshino Shuichi has two directions.

Firstly, relying on the characteristic of physical compatibility, they continuously transform their own physique into that of a tailed beast by consuming the flesh and blood of tailed beasts, thus gaining the ability to directly absorb natural energy to restore their physical strength.

Previously, Hoshino Shuichi was able to do this by transforming into a tailed beast using a transformation technique.

Secondly, he transformed into an immortal!

It is also about cells directly absorbing natural energy, rather than refining Sage Mode chakra.

Even from a purely theoretical perspective, it is clear that Sage Mode does not possess the characteristic of extending human lifespan.

Thinking about this, a thought popped into Hoshishita Shuichi's mind: "Perhaps I should go see Gamamaru..."

But then he suppressed that thought: "No rush, no rush."

"As for Jugo, he should be born around now, right?"

……

After pondering for a long time, Hoshino Shuichi deactivated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

He is different from Naruto. When Naruto uses the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, the Nine-Tails absorbs his chakra when he doesn't use his own.

However, Hoshino Shuichi used the Fire Nether Lock to further and more powerfully bind and seal the Nine-Tails, binding and sealing even its mental consciousness, so that it could not absorb Hoshino Shuichi's chakra.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about being drained of chakra and killed by the Nine-Tails.

It can be said that it avoids the only flaw of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

This is the benefit of the powerful sealing technique!

And naturally, this will not affect Hoshino Shuichi's use of Sage Mode, let alone the Xuanbi Ancient God Seal.

"In terms of power, my current state is somewhere between Sage Mode Naruto and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode Naruto."

"As for combat strength, it's really hard to say..."

Combat power cannot be measured by pure chakra quantity; otherwise, even if he, along with his teacher Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, were together, they would not be a match for Kurama.

After leaving the secret room, Hoshino Shuichi went to the special tailed beast cell culture room, opened the scroll and took out Kurama's tail.

First, slice off a portion and reserve it for cell culture.

Plucking hair.

Then eat it raw!

Gurgle! Gurgle!

Hmm, it's quite chewy.

I ate it all in one go, and my whole body felt like it was in a furnace.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately moved to the previous secret room, and then with a loud bang, the Nine-Tails' chakra erupted from his body, and his whole body was enveloped in scarlet chakra, with rolling malice attacking him.

Unmoved, Hoshino Shizuka carefully felt his body gradually adapt to the Nine-Tails' power and then integrate with it.

Or rather, it's compatible with the Nine-Tails' genes!

This process takes much longer than consuming the flesh and blood of the Eight-Tails and Four-Tails.

Before I knew it, it was already dark outside.

When the fusion was completely finished, the tailed beast chakra that had been surrounding Hoshino Shuichi suddenly changed, and the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode reappeared.

"Physical compatibility is really useful!"

Hoshino Shuichi was overjoyed.

This is completely different from Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Although they also ate the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails, they were unable to achieve the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

At that moment, Yin Jiuwei, trapped within the seal, also sensed Xingxia Xiuyi's change and was shocked: "This guy, how is this possible?"

"It has completely integrated with and adapted to my power."

Four-Tails was already used to it and said, "Don't be too surprised. His physique is different from ordinary people. He has already mastered my and Eight-Tails' power in the same way before."

"If it weren't for Shukaku's sand body, it would probably be the same."

"So, what this guy said before can indeed be believed. He prefers the power he can control to becoming a Jinchūriki."

Yin Jiuwei remained silent. He had to admit that the guy in front of him was unlike any ninja he had ever seen before.

……

After deactivating the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode again, Hoshino Shuichi stretched his body: "My physique has been improved once again, and even more so than when I consumed the flesh and blood of the Eight-Tails and the Four-Tails."

"This is even more amazing than a 100% increase in physical fitness!"

Shuichi Hoshino was both surprised and delighted.

It's only a matter of time before it rivals the Nine-Tails and surpasses it!

Overjoyed, Hoshino stepped out of the secret room and saw Tsunade stretching in the corridor. Her curves were enough to make one's mouth water.

Sensing her gaze, Tsunade turned around: "Eh, you're here too?"

Hoshita Shuichi stepped forward: "We're conducting an experiment on the Nine-Tails."

"Nine-Tails!"

Tsunade's gaze sharpened: "Has it already been divided?"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Yes, everything went smoothly."

"We could study the Nine-Tails' cells; its vitality is no less than that of the First Hokage!"

Tsunade became interested upon hearing this and decided to come over after dinner.

The two left the experimental base and, bathed in the starlight and moonlight, arrived at the bustling streets of Konoha.

Hoshita Shuichi invited, "Let's go to my house for dinner? I'll go call Shizune."

Tsunade decisively shook her head and refused: "It would be too impolite not to inform me beforehand."

"Besides, Shizune should have already eaten by now."

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it together from now on!"

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, as Yakushi Nono and Asuka's cooking skills were indeed very good.

But… Tsunade glanced at Hoshino Shuichi, snorted softly to herself, waved her hand, and walked into an izakaya: “We’ll talk about it later!”

failure!

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and instantly teleported home.

The aroma of the food was irresistible, and the table was laden with a dazzling array of delicacies.

"It feels so good to be home..."

Hoshino Shizuka was genuinely delighted.

Just then, Asuka poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Shuichi, wash your hands and get ready to eat. There's one last soup left!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and went to wash his hands. When he came out, Asuka and Yakushi Nonou had already prepared the last soup.

A sumptuous and heartwarming dinner has officially begun.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain.

Inside the cave, Tobi, the White Zetsu, emerged from the ground and smiled at the Black and White Zetsu who were waiting there: "The time has come. Danzo of Konoha is discussing with Hanzo. It seems that Hanzo has been persuaded by that guy Danzo to take down Akatsuki."

The White Zetsu controlling Obito Uchiha laughed and said, "It seems we'll have it much easier."

The other half of the Black Zetsu said, "We can't be too careless. That Hoshino Shuichi has been keeping an eye on this place."

White Zetsu Tobi stroked his chin and said, "Is that guy trying to steal the Rinnegan?"

"If that's the case, it seems like it'll be quite difficult to stop him if he doesn't care about the lives of others!"

"That Flying Thunder God Technique is really a headache!"

Black Zetsu said confidently, "This is the difference between ninjas and us."

"Furthermore, Hoshino Shuichi may not be targeting the Rinnegan; his target might be Danzo."

"Of course, we still need to be on the safe side."

White Zetsu Tobi chuckled, "In that case, why don't I just go to Konoha and grab one of that guy's people?"

Bai Zetsu said, "You can try, but be careful of that Hoshino Shuichi. Make sure he doesn't leave the Flying Thunder God mark on you; even Izanagi can't remove it."

Bai Jue A Fei nodded confidently, "Don't worry, he won't notice if I use clones or the Spore Technique!"

Black Zetsu immediately said, "Then let's split up!"

"If we fail, we'll combine our forces to hold off Hoshino Shuichi. We absolutely cannot let him interfere with our plans here."
