"Ahhhh! It's so hot! So hot!"
Anko cried out as she rolled on the ground. Soon, a layer of blue flames burning on her body was forcibly drawn away and absorbed by a cat.
The cat looked like an orange tabby but was completely blue, decorated with flame patterns, and had a fluffy, bushy tail that swished behind it.
After swallowing the flames, the cat burped and rubbed its belly.
"Give up! This woman is too stupid to handle my power," the blue cat suddenly spoke.
Kagetsu, who was using medical ninjutsu to treat Anko's injuries, felt a chill in his heart. Just as he expected, Anko exploded in anger.
"Who's too stupid? Anyone who touches your fat cat power ends up either burned to ashes or blown to the sky!" Anko glared at the cat.
The cat's eyes turned dangerous in an instant. It curled up and arched its back as if ready to pounce, baring its sharp little teeth, seemingly about to leap at Anko's neck.
Kagetsu's unexpected comment caused the furious cat to return to its normal demeanor. It licked its paw and cast a cold glance at Anko.
"I'm not a cat! Don't compare me to those ninja cats," the cat corrected Kagetsu. It knew this correction wouldn't matter much, but it felt it needed to assert itself.
It was just born in a cat form. Just like the giant nine-tailed fox in the village, was it really a true fox?
Although they looked different, they belonged to the same category: tailed beasts!
"Does it have to be your power?" Anko looked at the cat. The first time she met it, she had teased it with fish balls and dried fish, thinking it was a pet Kagetsu had recently adopted.
When she later found out the cat could talk, she was shocked but accepted it as some kind of clever ninja beast.
It wasn't until she realized this cat was the Nibi (Two-Tails) that she completely lost it. Even after Kagetsu explained that it was part of the Nibi, she still felt terrified.
But right now, all she wanted was to have an epic battle with this fat cat.
Although she probably wouldn't win!
"This is my research! If you can find me another tailed beast, I'd be happy to trade," Kagetsu said as he stepped back after healing Anko.
"It's too painful." Remembering the awful feeling of that power burning her from the inside out, Anko shuddered.
"Then do you want to give up?" Kagetsu asked in response.
Anko's body trembled as she locked eyes with the cat-eared creature squatting on the ground, which regarded her with disdain. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Continue."
"I've removed the tailed beast's will from your chakra. It's now just a mass of pure chakra. You don't need to fight against the tailed beast's will or worry about its interference. All you have to do is control it and turn it into your own power," said Kagetsu.
Kagetsu took out a scroll, opened it, and pulled out a piece of blue, scale-like skin. The skin had black flame patterns and faint traces of sealing techniques.
"Control it like you control your own chakra. Don't treat it as something foreign," Kagetsu reminded her again. With Anko's determined expression, Kagetsu used medical ninjutsu to graft the skin onto Anko's arm, connecting it to her body's meridians and nerves.
Anko took a deep breath, feeling the hot chakra burning in her arm. She repeatedly hypnotized herself, adjusting the fusion of her chakra with the foreign chakra based on Kagetsu's advice and her previous failures.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!
Carefully forming the hand signs, Anko meticulously controlled her chakra to unleash her strongest fire ninjutsu.
A blazing fire dragon erupted from her mouth, directly piercing a massive stone ten meters away, causing an explosion.
I did it! This was Anko's first thought as she saw this scene.
Next came her surprise at the destructive power of her jutsu. She hadn't used much chakra for this technique, yet its strength was unexpectedly greater than when she used all her power.
Is it because of the tailed beast's chakra enhancing her? Googlᴇ search novelFɪre.net
Anko quickly figured out the reason. This power not only provided her with ample chakra but also specifically enhanced the lethality of her fire techniques.
She even felt she could do more!
Based on her instincts, Anko expelled a blue chakra ball shaped like a fish ball. The chakra ball split multiple times in the air, raining down like droplets on the shattered stone below, causing continuous explosions.
Precise Manipulation!
Controlling the flames was as natural as moving an arm. The fire jutsu released seemed to have its own spirit and will, capable of changing multiple times during its flight.
This was almost a Kekkei Genkai ability!
Anko felt that aside from not being able to transform into a tailed beast or don tailed beast clothing, her powers were not much different from those of a jinchuriki.
"I did it!" Anko exclaimed excitedly as she turned around, patted Kagetsu, and then quickly crouched down to give the cat spirit a quick scratch on the head.
To be honest, the miniaturized version of the cat spirit was adorably plump.
As it was licking its fur, the cat spirit was caught off guard by the sudden attack, its fur bristling. The blue flames instantly surged, but Anko, having finished petting it, used the Body Flicker Technique to dash away.
[Hōgyoku Branch: Tail Sealing]
Traits: A type of chakra entity seal that allows for easy chakra replenishment and enhances certain chakra attributes.
Description: A technique based on biological technology, it can be implanted into the human body, allowing the host to utilize the power within the seal. Depending on the materials and sealing techniques used, it can either provide chakra that replenishes itself autonomously or be a one-time use that requires recharging afterward.
Note 1: The stronger the power desired, the higher the threshold and requirements. The dangers faced during subsequent use will also increase.
Note 2: It's best to find a user whose chakra attributes are compatible. This helps reduce unnecessary sacrifices and lowers the threshold.
Conclusion: Requires a certain level of chakra manipulation skill; those with strong mental power are prioritized.
Hōgyoku Task: A branch of the main task.
Recognition: 550/1000; Physique +20; Chakra +1000]
"Time to head to the lab," Kagetsu said as he looked at the sky and then at Anko, who was still training in the distance. He reached out his hand to the cat spirit.
The cat spirit leaped gracefully, landing on Kagetsu's shoulder. Once it found a comfortable position, it shot a cold glance at Anko.
Though it wasn't a cat, it still held a grudge!
