Night sky, the bright moon hung high.
Tonight's full moon was exceptionally bright, and the silver-white moonlight cast a desolate feeling over the land.
At this moment, Chiriku, and even the monks who had just rushed out of their rooms, were somewhat bewildered.
The monks were mostly confused and shocked. They stared in disbelief at the shattered barrier and the mysterious figure floating in the air.
But Chiriku's gaze at this time became somewhat dangerous and worried.
"Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki?"
He had been active in the Ninja World for a long time, but he had never heard of such a name.
However, the person in front of him gave him an unspeakable sense of danger.
"He also said that the Nine-Tails' Chakra is his. What exactly is going on?"
"Ah!"
Just as he was pondering, a roar suddenly erupted in the air. The Chakra on Sora's body became even more terrifying, and he was completely enveloped in red Chakra.
Takemi raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. He had already witnessed such a situation with Naruto last time.
But that Nine-Tails still maintained its sanity, while this pure Chakra aggregation, although growing well, had no such thing as a 'brain'.
"Is it just pure wildness?"
Thinking to himself, Takemi descended, but Chiriku also stood in front of him at this moment.
Takemi said, "Oh? It seems, esteemed sir, you still do not intend to let me retrieve what belongs to me?"
"I don't know who you are, nor do I know your purpose." Chiriku looked at Takemi with a solemn expression and shouted loudly.
"However, Sora is a member of our Fire Temple, and what's inside him is extremely dangerous. No matter what, I will not let you succeed!"
"Everyone, I will engage him in battle. You cover me and protect Sora. Do not let him succeed!"
"Yes!"
All the monks shouted, and even if they disliked Sora, they immediately protected him behind them and distanced themselves.
"Alas, how troublesome."
Takemi sighed slightly, looking at Chiriku, who was ready for battle, and spoke softly.
"Actually, I don't want to fight, you know?"
As he spoke, his aura began to change, and his eyes at this moment turned blue.
Under the powerful operation of his Chakra, an invisible pressure seemed to press down heavily on everyone.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Even if Chiriku was not weak, he could not bear all of this.
"Because…"
The strong wind of Chakra caused the surrounding trees to sway, and Takemi's voice rang out once again.
"It's very difficult to control my power so as not to step on an ant."
"Not good!"
As soon as his voice fell, Chiriku suddenly felt as if his body had lost control. It was as if an invisible force was dragging him in front of Takemi.
"Oh no!"
He had no time to react, he was already dragged over, and Takemi flicked a black rod in his hand.
Bang—
With a muffled sound, he was sent flying, but before he flew far, a sudden, inexplicable repulsive force appeared midway.
Boom—
He slammed heavily to the ground, and under the effect of this repulsive force, the ground even cracked.
"What just happened?"
The surrounding monks were confused, but some smart ones immediately reacted.
"Now, use Ninjutsu! Don't let him get close to the abbot!"
"Yes!"
These monks immediately obeyed the instructions and quickly formed hand signs.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!
"…"
Immediately, countless Ninjutsu furiously came towards Takemi. This level of Ninjutsu made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
But after a brief thought, he calmly raised his right hand.
In an instant, a blue light curtain appeared on his body, and the next moment he was actually covered by these Ninjutsu.
"Hmm?"
"This is…"
"What's going on?"
"What is that?"
The expected explosion did not occur at all. When all the Ninjutsu landed neatly in front of Takemi, these Ninjutsu, which had already been shaped by Chakra, suddenly disintegrated.
They were absorbed by the bright light curtain on Takemi's body, leaving nothing behind.
"How is this possible… How is this possible…"
Chiriku had now gritted his teeth and climbed up. His eyes were wide, and his face was full of disbelief.
The Ninjutsu was actually absorbed directly by this?
"The effect of Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal is better than I imagined."
Takemi slowly lowered his hand, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"However, I just gained this ability, and the absorption intensity isn't very high yet. It's fortunate that there aren't many people here, and the Ninjutsu intensity is also average, otherwise, it might have been embarrassing."
Since he had already decided to use the identity of 'Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki', he had to maintain his demeanor.
The 'coolest' people he could think of were only a few. Whether he was good enough was hard to say, but he could learn to speak like others.
Even if speaking like this made him feel a bit awkward, but…
It felt so good!
"Do you think such methods can deal with me? How naive!"
Takemi stood with one hand raised as if forming a hand sign, his voice clear and melodious.
"Perhaps your understanding of me is a bit off. After all, fundamentally, we are worlds apart. Let me tell you, our difference…"
At this moment, an invisible force furiously spread out in all directions, and his voice also fell at this moment.
"Just how big is it?"
The pervasive Chakra was almost suffocating, and an inexplicable repulsive force instantly erupted.
As the repulsive force continuously surged, all the monks could no longer bear it. They were almost instantly sent flying along with the surrounding buildings.
The once tall and solemn temple began to collapse, and even the ground slowly started to sink. At this moment, these monks felt a sense of despair.
"Is this really a human?"
Not only the monks, but Chiriku's heart was also filled with confusion at this time. However, as the head priest, he still forced himself to stand up, wanting to try and do something.
"Awooo!"
However, before he could react, Sora behind them suddenly let out a furious roar.
His entire body was already enveloped by Tailed Beast Chakra, and he had transformed into Tailed Beast Mode, with four red tails swaying behind him.
He glared fiercely at Takemi, his eyes devoid of any human trace, completely resembling a wild beast.
"Oh no, Sora… he's lost control!"
Chiriku coughed up a mouthful of blood. The situation was getting worse and worse, and he didn't know what to do.
Perhaps the only thing worth celebrating was that 'Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki' had stopped. His gaze turned to the Tailed Beast-transformed Sora nearby.
"It came out on its own, even better."
Takemi sensed the Nine-Tails' Chakra on Sora's body, and slightly nodded.
"My original goal was you. Why did you have to make things difficult for me? You're just asking for trouble."
"Roar!"
The Nine-Tails' Chakra roared, and its tail suddenly extended, sweeping fiercely towards Takemi.
The ground shattered under the dragging of its tail, and a large amount of gloom madly spread towards them.
