Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 407 The Large Battery

A colossal beast, several tens of meters long, appeared at the training ground.

Lanzi and Xiaoji immediately noticed the situation.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to come over.

Blue, who wasn't particularly curious to begin with, simply picked up Togepi, who was still trying to join in the fun, and took him to the other side.

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kenkawa himself stood still, studying the 'three-tailed beast'.

Or rather, the shell of a three-tailed creature.

Yes.

After conducting a series of tests, Jianchuan Ju discovered...

The "Three-Tails" before us seems to be nothing more than a simple aggregate of chakra.

It does not possess the independent consciousness of ordinary tailed beasts.

It was like a shell that had lost its soul.

But in reality, all the tailed beasts are beings who have integrated their will into every ounce of chakra.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's chakra that has become sentient.

Whether or not a soul truly exists is still quite uncertain.

However, this "Three-Tails" does not have a corresponding spiritual will in its chakra composition, but it strangely possesses the chakra characteristics of the "Three-Tails".

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for it to condense into a three-tailed shape immediately after being unsealed.

Even the "infinite chakra" of the usual tailed beasts.

Or rather, it also possesses the ability to infinitely replenish chakra.

After using a simple sealing technique, Tachibana Kanagawa attempted to extract some of the chakra from this "Three-Tails," it miraculously recovered completely in the blink of an eye, just like a normal Three-Tails.

"So... I brought back a large battery??"

To be honest, the current situation actually surprised Jianchuan Ju.

Although the Three-Tails is a relatively homebody and gentle tailed beast.

However, compared to the true tailed beasts that possess independent will and may rebel or affect the jinchūriki.

This kind of "dumb" pure battery is obviously more "convenient" and "easy to use".

Even if they may no longer have the ability to help dispel genjutsu or assist the Jinchuriki in battle.

However, the ability to quickly acquire an "endless energy" that can be freely drawn is already better than everything else.

"However, with Hashirama's physique, I don't think I'll be too short of chakra anymore."

"Wouldn't it be a waste to give this to someone else?"

Looking at the "giant battery" in front of him, Tachibana Kanagawa stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Having suddenly acquired such a novel item, Tachibana Kanagawa was somewhat undecided because there were so many ways to use it.

"Speaking of which, since Minato was able to separate the Nine-Tails into Yin and Yang when he sealed it, could the other tailed beasts do the same?"

In fact, Tachibana Kanakawa had thought of this idea a long time ago.

However, tailed beasts are beings that possess their own intelligence.

If the village's tailed beasts were used rashly for such experiments, Tachibana Kanagawa feared that the jinchūriki would suffer retaliation from the tailed beast within them in the future.

Now that we have this "vegetative" tailed beast, perhaps we can really try the separation experiment.

Since a complete tailed beast also has unlimited chakra, if it were possible to divide this thing into multiple parts...

Although the output efficiency may decrease.

However, that's only compared to the original level of the tailed beasts.

In reality, there are very few situations where it's truly necessary to generate a Tailed Beast Ball every second, with an energy output large enough to flatten a town.

As her thinking deepened, Jianchuan Ju's ideas became increasingly divergent.

It can only be said that the unscientific concept of unlimited energy has far too many applications.

"But then again, where did this thing's will go?"

Jianchuan Ju suddenly realized that if this thing couldn't be figured out, it might become a problem.

What if he haphazardly divides them later, and then suddenly a berserk consciousness appears in each of the "small three tails"?

I'm afraid they're about to cause a huge disaster.

"Perhaps it remained in the Dragon Vein World while traversing a parallel universe, awaiting its revival?"

Jianchuan Ju scratched his head helplessly.

Although it's just speculation for now, he's not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater and leave such a precious thing unused.

"It seems I'll have to give the sealing team more responsibilities when we get back."

Jianchuan Ju herself has quite a lot to care about and study right now.

Since he is a leader, he should delegate some tasks to his subordinates.

Afterwards, Tachibana Kenkawa fiddled with the 'Three-Tails' for a while, extracting some of its chakra and sealing it away separately.

They put the large turtle back into the iron pot.

We'll decide how to handle it after we return to the village.

Having finished all this, Tachibana Kanakawa stretched and loosened her stiff body a little.

He then called out to Lan Zai, leaving the two little ones to play in the 'secret space'.

He then withdrew from the space on his own.

Just as she released the ice clone she had left outside and confirmed that no one else had come looking for her during this time, Tachibana Kanagawa heard a sniffling sound behind her.

Looking back, Uchiha Hikaru was sniffling, staring intently at him.

"Orange, I feel like your scent is more familiar to me now?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju was taken aback.

He wondered when the girl had awakened the Inuzuka family's nose.

However, I immediately realized the reason.

"We both have Hashirama Senju's blood flowing through our veins now, so of course we feel close."

Shaking her head helplessly, Tachibana Kanakawa, who really didn't know how to explain, simply gave a few perfunctory words.

Fortunately, Uchiha Hikaru was just asking casually and didn't dwell on the matter.

Over the next two days, Tachibana Kenkawa first taught Zabuza the upgraded "Water Jet" technique again.

They were, after all, my former teammates and comrades who had shared life and death with me.

This preferential treatment is something that the Mizukage, Tachibana Kanagawa, can decide at will.

However, Mei Terumi seems to still be consciously avoiding him these past two days.

Considering that the "Water Release Chakra Mode" was not particularly suitable for Mei Terumi's fighting style, Tachibana Kenkawa simply had Zabuza deliver it on his behalf.

As for whether or not to study, that's beyond Jianchuan Ju's control.

However, according to Zabuza's account, Mei Terumi seemed to be quite annoyed with her outburst that day, and even more so, somewhat ashamed to admit her sudden and unusual behavior.

I don't have any other ideas.

After hearing this, Jianchuan Ju breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Hozuki Shingetsu and the others were preparing to leave Sea Mist City to continue their investigation into the missing pirates.

With Uchiha Hikaru by his side, Tachibana Kenkawa set off to return to Kirigakure.

What Jianchuan Ju didn't know was...

After he left the Seamist City garrison.

Mei Terumi and Zabuza quietly arrived at the gate once again.

She stood in the same spot as when she was preparing to welcome him that day, looking in the direction where Jianchuan Ju had left through the doorway.

"After we get back from this mission, shall we apply to join the Shadow Guard?"

"Shouldn't we wait until we become Jonin before going?"

"That's enough, I don't want to wait any longer."
