Chapter 66: The Concept of Full Power Mode!

The full power of Water Release Chakra Mode, or rather, the normalization of Water Release Chakra Mode, is Hozuki Shingetsu's plan for how to further enhance Water Release Chakra Mode.

This inspiration, like the Destructo Disc, is also borrowed from the Super Saiyan Full Power technique invented by Goku in the Dragon Ball world.

Since the Naruto world is, to some extent, a tribute to Dragon Ball, it's reasonable for Hozuki Shingetsu to recreate a full-power Water Release Chakra Mode in the Naruto world, right?

According to Dragon Ball, maintaining this transformation mode in normal circumstances allows the body to adapt to the state, enabling it to withstand a heavier load during battle and thus significantly increase its strength once again.

According to Hozuki Shingetsu's estimation, if he could achieve full power in this Water Release Chakra Mode, when he actually fought, his full power would probably be equivalent to a Jonin or higher, but not quite a Kage. Don't think it's bad; the main reason is that Hozuki Shingetsu's current overall strength is only at the level of a rookie Jonin, and his physical combat power is too low.

After all, it's not a Super Saiyan transformation that can increase fighting power by fifty times. This kind of power increase is already quite considerable, and at twelve years old, he still has a lot of room for improvement.

But then the same question arises: how to train in this Water Release chakra mode in a normalized way?

Unlike the Super Saiyan transformation, which is based on physical strength, the Water Release Chakra Mode requires chakra to maintain. In other words, for Hozuki Shingetsu to maintain this ninjutsu, at the very least, he must possess a massive amount of chakra, far exceeding that of an ordinary person.

If this hurdle can't be overcome, everything else is pointless.

Naturally, Hozuki Shingetsu's gaze fell upon the Tailed Beasts. If he could become a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, this problem would be easily solved.

Specifically, this tailed beast is the Six-Tails.

After all, the original work has already proven that Yagura Karatachi and the Three-Tails have good compatibility, so Shingetsu Hozuki naturally wouldn't steal someone else's love. Moreover, although, apart from the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, the strength of tailed beasts is not measured by the number of tails, the Six-Tails still sounds better than the Three-Tails.

He could use his cheat ability to let the Six-Tails sense his inner thoughts through Hozuki Shingetsu, and with the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, he had a certain chance of becoming a perfect Jinchūriki.

In this way, by using chakra to connect with the tailed beasts, Hozuki Shingetsu, who is constantly between "movement" and "immobility," can even look forward to one of his ultimate goals—Sage Mode at full power!

Although Hozuki Shingetsu doesn't have two sages like Fukasaku and Shima to act as his Sage Mode aids, constantly refining Sage Chakra, he can still use the Six-Tails' mental state to maintain a state of "immovability," thus continuously refining Sage Chakra just like he would refine his physical chakra.

Although it is foreseeable that there will be many difficulties, now that we have a solution for the most difficult hurdles, the rest will be much easier.

Of course, the current plan for Sage Mode at full power is only in Hozuki Shingetsu's mind; it's just a concept that hasn't yet been put into writing.

The most urgent task is to perfect the Water Release chakra mode, then go to see the Daimyo to resolve the conflict at the top, and then return to subdue the Six-Tails—by then, it will probably be time to have a head-on battle with Ren.

As the Mizukage, he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Hozuki Shingetsu subdue the Six-Tails, adding another powerful general to the opposing forces. Even if he allowed it, the Kaguya clan wouldn't—he was counting on using the blood of the other bloodline clans to eradicate the Kaguya clan's blood disease; how could he possibly watch their strength increase time and time again?

Moreover, not only him, but even Yagura Karatachi would not allow him to subdue the Three-Tails.

After all, who in the entire Hidden Mist Village doesn't know that the young clan leader of the Karatachi clan is Hozuki Shingetsu's henchman?

"Master the Water Release Chakra Mode, resolve the conflict between the Daimyo and Kirigakure, set up the castle tower, subdue the Six-Tails, deal with Ren..." Hozuki Shingetsu sighed as he thought about the tasks ahead, lamenting once again that time was of the essence.

-

Two weeks later, outside Kirigakure, on a hill, two figures were locked in a fierce battle.

One of the figures wielded a massive, door-like sword, launching a rapid offensive against the enemy. The sword sometimes split into two, its movements mysterious and unpredictable, attacking from both sides; at other times, it merged into one, unleashing overwhelming power. With sweeping, powerful strikes, each move aimed directly at the enemy's vital points.

The other person, shrouded in mist, showed no fear of the enemy's greatsword. Instead, he chose to use close-quarters combat to counter the opponent's range advantage. His every move was accompanied by wisps of mist that gathered and dispersed with each action, making him appear like an immortal.

"It seems you've finished developing your Water Release Chakra Mode! Your combat power is now on par with those veteran Jonin." Tachibana Touhiko exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Hozuki Shingetsu's relaxed demeanor.

"I only received a tiny bit of help from Moodyby," Hozuki Shingetsu said casually, having dodged Tachibana Haruhiko's attack.

"Alright, it seems I might really embarrass myself if I don't show some real skills." Seeing Hozuki Shingetsu's behavior, Tachibana Touhiko was also aroused in his competitive spirit. After an attack failed, he decisively unleashed his ultimate attack.

"Flounder - Liberation!"

The giant sword in Tachibana Higashihiko's hand suddenly grew larger, emitting a dazzling light. Intense chakra gathered on it, and an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body.

Under Tachibana Haruhiko's control, this violent ball of chakra, amidst intense shaking, rapidly hurtled towards Hozuki Shingetsu!

"Water Release: Spirit Circle Slash!"

With a low shout from Hozuki Shingetsu, an extremely thin chakra compression disc rose from his right hand.

With a buzzing sound, the azure chakra disc spun faster and faster, its tiny serrations quickly disappearing. Then, with a flick of his right hand, the disc flew out of his grasp, arcing mysteriously as it hurtled towards the chakra sphere!

With his increased metabolism and accelerated nerve conduction under Water Release Chakra Mode, Hozuki Shingetsu was able to incorporate Water Release nature transformation into his Destructo Disc. And with the addition of Water Release nature transformation, the Destructo Disc could be released from his hand, just as he had anticipated!

Under Hozuki Shingetsu's calm gaze and Tachibana Touhiko's incredulous gaze, the sphere that contained a large amount of Tachibana Touhiko's chakra was swiftly and decisively split in two by the thin disc!

boom!

This was the sound of the chakra hemisphere striking the ground after being severed. Within a ten-meter radius, nothing grew, and a deep circular pit was dug directly into the hillside.

In contrast, Hozuki Shingetsu's Qi Circle Slash pierced straight into the mountain, disappearing like a mud ox sinking into the sea, leaving no trace except for a tiny crack.

However, Tachibana Azuhiko showed no excitement whatsoever. With a solemn expression, he approached the crevice in the mountain and leaned down to look down.

A faint ray of light entered his eyes through the pitch-black gap.

"This mountain... has been pierced through."
