Time passed slowly, and only a small portion of the six-tailed creature's body remained. Even so, it wasn't completely dead; several of its tails were still twitching slightly. Finally, like strands of noodles, it was swallowed whole by the dragon head with a slurp.
Finally, Wuyue felt a violent swelling sensation in her body.
Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, he could clearly sense that his abdomen felt like a fully inflated balloon. Powerful chakra surged and flowed within his body.
For others, this would be an extremely fatal sign. The amount of chakra each person can store is finite.
Some people are born with enormous chakra. Others, no matter how much they train and refine, always have far less chakra than ordinary people. Even using two low-level ninjutsu would drain their bodies dry.
To put it simply, the human body is like a series of plastic cups of different sizes, and chakra is like water. Under normal circumstances, once the cups are full, they will overflow.
This is why, even for people with small amounts of chakra, refining it through the normal process is ultimately futile and poses no threat.
Wu Yue's current situation is like trying to force a bucket of water into a small cup. And the cup is covered. Therefore, there's only one possible outcome: the cup will burst. He will die!
However, because his physique is different from that of ordinary people—or rather, he is no longer human—the concepts of a cup and water cannot be applied to Wuyue at all.
His chakra reserves, while also having a fixed value, are subject to a black hole added to this fixed value by the Chaos Dragon's absorption power. Excess chakra is slowly absorbed by this black hole and replenished within his body, causing his maximum chakra capacity to gradually increase.
Of course, this black hole is still very small and cannot devour planets or even the entire chaos like a real Chaos Dragon, but it is more than enough to absorb the energy of a tailed beast.
In less than ten minutes, the swelling sensation gradually disappeared. The Six-Tails had been digested within his body. Through the conversion of absorption power, the amount of chakra within his body expanded several times over.
Not only that, just like when he swallowed Hozuki Mangetsu, he also acquired all of the Six-Tails' abilities. Of course, he wouldn't even look at that sticky acidic power. So... only the Tailed Beast Bomb is something he can really show off.
Hmm, using the Tailed Beast Bomb to enhance the Rasengan should be quite effective!
As Wuyue pondered this with her chin in her hand, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from not far away. Looking up, she could clearly see several figures dressed in silver-gray vests rushing towards her, and the one in the lead was someone she knew.
Huh? Isn't this my little slave girl? Ahem...
Wuyue's mind was also stirred by that memory. However, thinking about such things at this time was clearly inappropriate. If she wasn't mistaken, they should be the real contact persons. Hmm, whether they were or not, she should go and say hello first.
With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Mei Terumi and her companions were completely stunned by the scene before them. The jagged, precipitous canyon walls, the shimmering, enormous lake, and the towering trees with their intertwined roots rising abruptly from the lakebed—the sheer scale and impact of it all was beyond words.
Qing's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself, "What, what's going on here? I remember this was originally an empty canyon mountain path."
“If I’m not mistaken, the lake was formed using Water Release jutsu,” Kisame Hoshigaki continued. “The volume of water is astonishing. And these broken walls clearly show remnants of ninjutsu bombardment.”
"Huh? What are those red crystals?" Mei Terumi looked around and suddenly spotted a cluster of red objects floating on the water. She waded across the water and reached out to touch them.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, reaching out to grab her smooth, fair wrist. "Be good. That's not something you can touch."
244 Peace comes at a price
"It's...it's you?" Mei Terumi's eyes widened as she looked at the newcomer. Her dark blue eyes revealed a hint of surprise and the joy of reunion.
However, before she could say anything more, the Hidden Mist ninjas who had come with her immediately erupted in a commotion.
"Release Lady Terumi Mei at once!"
"let go!"
"Damn it! That insidious bastard!"
Kisame Hoshigaki, Ao, and another woman from Kirigakure all drew their weapons and charged towards them.
"Are these all your subordinates?" Mugetsu smiled at Terumi Mei, completely unconcerned about their actions. "Then I'll give you face." Before the words were even finished, his figure vanished abruptly.
"Wait..." Mei Terumi had just uttered these two words when she heard a muffled thud.
There was absolutely no chance to react; Qing was the first to be kicked away. His body skipped across the water several times before finally stopping.
Kisame Hoshigaki and the female Kirigakure member stopped abruptly, their faces showing shock. What happened? What just occurred?
"Could you two please be a little quieter?" Wu Yue's figure suddenly appeared behind them, speaking calmly.
When did this guy...?
Kisame and Hoshigaki's pupils contracted sharply, but they still instinctively drew their weapons and swiftly slashed behind them.
Clang, clang.
Two crisp sounds.
Mugetsu grabbed the female ninja's kunai with his left hand and blocked Kisame Hoshigaki's twin swords with his right. Tilting his head, he said, "Tsk, so disobedient, huh?"
"How is this possible?"
"Just with your hands..."
Kisame Hoshigaki and the female ninja both gasped, their expressions of shock deepening.
"Well, never mind." With that, Mugetsu flicked his left arm, sending the female ninja flying. At the same time, he swung his right hand, disarming Kisame Hoshigaki and taking his weapon. "Eh? This should be Hiramekarei? Shouldn't you be using Samehada?"
"What did you say?" Kisame Hoshigaki was completely baffled by his words.
"Oh, it's nothing." Wuyue shook her head and said, "I think Samehada would be more suitable for you. This thing isn't suitable for you." She casually tossed the Hiramekarei back to the other person.
Kisame Hoshigaki caught it in a daze. The next second, with a loud bang, he was thrown out of the water as if he had been hit by a speeding train.
"Alright, we're more comfortable alone together." Mugetsu walked back to Terumi Mei's side. "Hmm, this place still isn't suitable, let's go somewhere else." Without waiting for her reply, he wrapped his right arm around her slender waist. He used Shunpo and vanished instantly.
Damn it!
"Terumi Mei-sama!"
Qing and the female ninja were startled and looked around, but they couldn't see a single person.
"No need to look anymore, she's fine." Kisame Hoshigaki stood up from the water and said, "You should all know very well... If he wanted to harm Lady Mei Hoshi, we would all be dead."
Upon hearing this, both Qing and the female ninja fell silent. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed indeed true. Putting everything else aside, the opponent's incredible speed and terrifying strength alone were enough to crush them.
So even though they were very unwilling, they had to swallow this humiliation, because this is the world of the strong.
A moment later, the female ninja exhaled and said, "He must be Konoha's Celestial Dragon."
"Ah, the white training uniform, the ninja sword on his back. And he had that kind of strength at that age. It must be him." Qing nodded and said.
"He truly lives up to his legendary status." Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head and said, "We're not even qualified to fight him. Is that guy really only ten years old?"
"To be precise, he shouldn't even be ten years old yet."
"What a monster!"
"Yes, it's a monster."
Kisame Hoshigaki responded in this way, but his mind was preoccupied with another matter. Why did the other person say that Samehada suited him better? Was it really true?
……
……
On a rocky cliff not far from the lake.
"Alright, no one will bother us here now." Releasing Terumi Mei, Mugetsu chuckled, "It's been over a year, and you've risen quite a bit in Kirigakure. Are you on your way to becoming the next Mizukage?" Her tone was full of teasing.
"I can't compare to you at all, the legend of the ninja world." Mei Terumi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Speaking of which, you're still as domineering as ever. You wretched guy!"
"Well, isn't this the kind of thing you like?" Wuyue blinked. Under the system's tutelage, he was now much more shameless than before, and his flirting skills were improving rapidly.
"Who, who would like that?!" Mei Terumi blushed instantly.
She would never admit to being a masochist. Even though the feeling of being held by him just now was amazing, and her heart was melting, there was no way she could show it. "I hate you! I hate you!"
"Oh? You really hate me?" Wuyue added a modal particle at the end, looking at him with a mischievous gaze.
"You... bastard." Mei Terumi blushed even more under his gaze, her eyes darting away.
"Ah, there's something even worse. This is the price of peace." Wuyue suddenly felt the time was right, stepped forward and hugged the other person with both hands. She pressed her whole face against him.
245. Consensus Reached
After half an hour.
Muzuki and Mei Terumi emerged from a low thicket of bushes, straightening each other's clothes. Both had a slight blush on their cheeks. Judging from their appearance alone, it seemed they had just done something they were ashamed to talk about.
Okay. Actually, that's about right.
Due to time and circumstances, the two did not take the final step. However, lovers always find various ways to express their feelings. For example, they might break down the words and pronounce them separately.
Standing back on the cliff edge, Mei Terumi blushed and said, "Why did you make me swallow it?!"
"That's good for you," Wuyue said with a lame excuse. In reality, he just wanted to see the other person swallow his essence; it gave him a peculiar sense of accomplishment.
"What's the benefit?" Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes, clearly disbelieving.
Wow, that's a really sharp question! How the hell am I supposed to know what the benefits would be!
Wu Yue suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, tell her that you can get pregnant.
Second, tell her that it can whiten skin and maintain youthful appearance.
Third, tell her that you can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
Holy crap! Are you sure it's okay to brag like that?
Wu Yue's lips twitched slightly. But now, she had no choice but to lie. "That...it can whiten skin and preserve youth."
"Is that so?" Mei Terumi's expression froze. She thought to herself, if it really does have such an effect, should she consume it more often? After all, she's six or seven years older than Mugetsu. By the time he grows up, won't she be old? How can they be together then?
"Yes, yes." Wu Yue dared not let the other party continue asking like that. She immediately changed the subject. "By the way, there's something I need to show you." She reached out and naturally touched her wrist.
"What?" Mei Terumi didn't dodge, letting him do as he pleased. A hint of curiosity appeared on her face.
They continued along a narrow path through the rock face until they reached a broken rock platform. There, the corpse of a small, young girl appeared before them.
One
"Who did this? Who did it?" Mei Terumi's face showed a hint of remorse. How could anyone be so cruel to such a young girl? And why was she dressed like that? There was so little fabric!
"Ahem, I killed him." Wu Yue coughed twice, suddenly realizing things were getting a bit complicated. The look of utter disdain on the other person's face made him extremely embarrassed. "Don't worry about that. Look at that weapon, doesn't it look familiar?"
"This is... the Mizukage's weapon?" Mei Terumi finally realized something was amiss. How could the Mizukage of Kirigakure's personal weapon be on a little girl? Her gaze involuntarily turned to Mugetsu with suspicion.
"Wait a moment, it should be about time." Wu Yue didn't explain immediately. Under these circumstances, it would be difficult to explain clearly anyway.
Shortly after he finished speaking, with a whoosh, a burst of white light suddenly shone from the little girl's body. Then, she transformed back into Yagura's original appearance.
"What... what's going on?" Mei Terumi's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. Transformation jutsu? Impossible! Transformation jutsu cannot be used after a person dies.
"I'd like to know too," Mugetsu said, half-jokingly, deliberately trying to entice him. "Why did the Mizukage of Kirigakure come here to attack me? Most importantly, he seems to be a little mentally unstable."
