"What a clever kid! However… let me warn you, if you get beaten to death, it has nothing to do with me," Takikage said.
"That old geezer! I really want to punch him!" Hayashi Rei was also a bit angry: "Even you, as Takikage, can't deal with a rampaging Tailed Beast, so how could Shigure possibly handle it?"
Uchiha Shigure waved his hand, stopping Rei from continuing.
"I can help you deal with the rampaging Seven-Tails, but just giving me information isn't enough," Shigure said.
"Then what else do you want?" Takikage asked.
"In the future, I want to do some business in Takigakure, and I hope Takikage will open the door of convenience for me," Shigure said.
"Do business?" Rei was also stunned, completely not expecting Shigure to make such a request.
"Do business? Aren't you a ninja? Why are you acting like a merchant?" Takikage was also a bit puzzled.
"You can understand it as me being a greedy ninja who really needs money. How about it? Will you agree? If we drag this on any longer… the Seven-Tails might destroy Takigakure?" Shigure also heard the sound of the Seven-Tails flapping its wings.
"Alright! How many helpers do you need?" Takikage asked.
"One. Rei, come with me!" Shigure directly pulled Rei and disappeared with a Body Flicker Jutsu.
"Flicker… Body Flicker? That speed is so fast!" Takikage then decided to observe the battle.
"What can I do?" Rei also felt that Shigure's strength was on a completely different level from her own, so why did he need her help this time?
"I told you, we're a team now, right? I need you." Shigure seemed to have seen through Rei's confusion and immediately explained.
Before Rei could speak, Shigure could already see the Seven-Tails.
"Is that the Seven-Tails!?"
"Such powerful chakra!" Shigure was also shocked by the sheer amount of chakra from the Seven-Tails.
"It seems the Seven-Tails has already undergone a half-Tailed Beast transformation!"
At this moment, the Seven-Tails was still in human form, but its entire body was covered in a red glow. Its seven tails swayed wildly behind it, and its wings flapped up and down.
Shigure then felt a sense of being targeted.
"Damn it! He saw us!" Shigure warned, and then the Seven-Tails' mouth began to gather Yin–Yang chakra.
The blue and red chakra combined, instantly forming a black energy ball, which then shrunk again.
"Rei! Get away from me for now!" Shigure left a jutsu formula on Rei's body, then actively used Body Flicker to attract the Seven-Tails' attention.
Seeing Shigure, the Seven-Tails directly spat out the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" The Tailed Beast Bomb tore through the air, its power enough to instantly change the terrain.
"Whoosh!" Shigure extracted chakra, and his eyes also turned into a light blue Mangekyō Sharingan mode.
"Seven-Tails! Try this move of mine! Takamimusubi!"
Then a miraculous scene occurred. As soon as the Tailed Beast Bomb hit Shigure, it instantly drilled into Shigure's left eye and vanished.
"How can this be!? What on earth happened!? Such a powerful energy attack from the Seven-Tails! It was actually absorbed by him directly?! What kind of eyes are those? Sharingan?" At this moment, Rei was both shocked and bewildered.
And Takikage was even more shocked; he had just fought the Seven-Tails and naturally knew how strong it was.
"That was a Tailed Beast Bomb! This guy actually absorbed it directly!? Could it be that his eyes… are Mangekyō Sharingan like Uchiha Madara's!?"
And the Seven-Tails, upon discovering its Tailed Beast Bomb was absorbed, immediately leapt towards Shigure at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh? So you're giving up long-range attacks. In that case, taste your own Tailed Beast Bomb! Takamimusubi!"
Shigure directly gathered the recently absorbed Tailed Beast Bomb in his right hand. The Tailed Beast Bomb, now dozens of times larger, was like a small asteroid.
"Go!" Shigure threw out the amplified Tailed Beast Bomb, and that overwhelming power instantly suppressed the Seven-Tails. The beast used all its strength to resist, but still found itself unable to stop it.
"Tailed Beasts have strong vitality, he shouldn't have died just like that," Shigure speculated.
Where Shigure used Takamimusubi to strike the Seven-Tails, there was now a huge crater on the ground, vast enough to destroy the surrounding terrain.
"Good thing I deliberately moved away from Takigakure when I teleported just now, otherwise Takigakure would have been destroyed by me," Shigure exclaimed, looking at his hands.
"I never thought my light blue Mangekyō Sharingan would possess abilities only found in Momoshiki's Rinnegan. What powerful might! Amplifying a Tailed Beast Bomb— even a Tailed Beast couldn't withstand a single blow?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason for such immense power should be the fusion of bloodline power, and the significant increase in ocular power also caused an even greater evolution of the eyes."
Shigure's actions stunned Rei and Takikage, who were observing.
Shigure immediately teleported next to the Seven-Tails, finding it unconscious. This jinchuriki did not seem to be Fū from the original story.
"It should be Fū's previous jinchuriki… Never mind, I want the Seven-Tails' bloodline power too." Shigure then placed his hand on the jinchuriki's body, and immediately felt himself entering a certain space.
"Human!? How can you enter here?" Chōmei, the Seven-Tails, said.
Shigure looked around and understood that he had entered the Seven-Tails' inner world.
"Nothing's wrong, I don't know why I came in. Chōmei, your seal seems to be loosening?" Shigure said calmly.
The Seven-Tails was clearly a bit shocked.
"You… kid, how do you know my name?"
Shigure smiled and said, "Not only do I know your name, I also know the names of all the other Tailed Beasts. I also know about the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails… Kaguya, and everything else you can think of."
"Why? Kid? You… could you be the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails… I seem to sense some of the Nine-Tails' chakra within you," Chōmei said.
"Those are just seeds of the Nine-Tails' bloodline. Don't worry, I won't imprison you like a jinchuriki, nor do I intend to use you…" Shigure then used a Body Flicker Jutsu to appear next to Chōmei and placed his hand on it.
"Kid!" Chōmei was about to get angry, but soon realized that not only was his chakra not taken away, but it had actually increased. Although not by much, it still shocked Chōmei.
"Kid! Who exactly are you! Only the Sage of Six Paths could master this Yin–Yang Release that creates something from nothing. Could it be… you are his…"
Shigure shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I know what you mean… but that person isn't me. The reason I know so much is for my own reasons, and I have my own destiny."
