Chapter 88: Syrup from the Sky
"Gulp!"
Sasuke directly swallowed the Green Spinach Pill that Torifune had given him. At the same time, he ate several honey energy blocks in a row and used the Taotie Technique to quickly refine chakra.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" he said, with cold killing intent in his eyes.
"Water Style: Water Clone Technique!"
Sasuke once again released a large number of water clones to delay the large lizard, which, completely enraged, violently tore them apart, but the tactic worked. Under the effect of the pill and the energy blocks, Sasuke's chakra filled with power, and then he released eight shadow clones.
"Water Style: Water String!"
Eight clones flew and, positioning themselves on both sides of the beast, simultaneously released water strings, wrapping around it. At that instant, Sasuke threw a sealing scroll over the lizard's head. Eight large iron balls tied with chains shot out and fell onto it. The lizard, with its strength, managed to break free from the strings, but only to become trapped by the heavy chains.
This was not over. Another scroll opened above its head, pouring a large amount of sticky syrup that completely covered it, immobilizing it.
"This tactic is actually very effective against large beasts," Sasuke nodded, satisfied. He was inspired by ANBU tactics he remembered, using sealing scrolls to achieve an effect similar to summoning objects to trap an enemy. 'If I were willing to spend the money, I could have used multiple Iron Gates to crush it directly.'
"Roar..." the large lizard struggled, but the more it struggled, the stickier the syrup became.
Sasuke seized the opportunity. He approached the blind spot of the beast's head, activated his digestion technique to process the energy from the Spinach Pill, and in an instant, completed a powerful ninjutsu.
"Great Ball Rasengan!"
The impact was absolute. The chakra sphere, the size of a human head, directly hit the lizard's skull. The spiraling energy not only burned its head but its terrifying penetration liquefied the beast's brain, turning it into a pasty mass. The lizard didn't even have time to use a reverse summoning to escape. All its sounds and activities suddenly ceased.
"Ugh..." Sasuke took a deep breath.
He was about to clear the battlefield when his radar detected a patrol team attracted by the movement, less than two kilometers away. He quickly sent four shadow clones to intercept and knock them out, gaining time.
Soon, he used a scroll to pack all the bodies and took the remains, also cleaning up the traces of the syrup. He left the explosive tag trap he had set days earlier intact.
Less than ten kilometers away, the shadow clone he had left behind detonated the trap. Sasuke felt a pang of pain in his heart and his wallet. It was one hundred explosive tags, over 650,000 ryo, enough to buy a house in Konoha.
However, thinking of the several large-capacity sealing scrolls he carried on his back, filled with the contraband loot, he immediately felt balanced. The value of the gold dust, iron ingots, pills, weapons, and explosive tags exceeded 20 million ryo.
In this way, wasn't he suddenly rich overnight? As the war intensified, the value of these supplies would only increase.
Sasuke calmed his excitement and continued on his way. Less than an hour later, he returned to the familiar river with Fūjin and Raijin. After leaving the still unconscious Kurama Kon on the ground, he immediately began to check the specific gains in the sealed scrolls.
