The Nine-Tailed was hideous, its massive body standing before him, as gargantuan as a mountain.
Simply by standing there, it exuded a tremendous sense of pressure, as if it were the incarnation of a demon. That power was so overbearing it caused a suffocating sensation.
Even a so-called Kage would feel suffocated standing before it, finding it hard to breathe.
"I see."
Minamikawa Yuu's expression was calm as he spoke softly, "To absorb the Nine-Tailed's Chakra, must I first overcome its influence?"
"If that's the case, I accept this challenge."
He raised his head, his eyes fixed on the front.
In the next moment, he pressed his hands together and immediately formed a seal.
Wood Release!
Wood Release: Flowering Tree World Technique!
As the Wood Release was unleashed, flowers began to bloom everywhere.
Terrifying Chakra surged with Minamikawa Yuu's movements, crashing toward the fearsome Nine-Tailed ahead.
That terrifying power was suffocating, carrying a sense of irrepressible force.
In fact, this wasn't a real Ninjutsu, but rather power manifested from will.
This place was Minamikawa Yuu's mental space; nothing existed here except for the manifestation of Chakra and mental will.
His own presence and the Nine-Tailed before him were not their physical bodies, but manifestations of something else.
But because of this, infinite possibilities existed.
As long as his will and spirit were strong enough, he would be omnipotent here.
"If we were in the outside world, I might not be able to do anything to you."
Minamikawa Yuu's face remained calm, but his brows carried an air of disdain for all things: "But here, no matter what you are, you will crawl before me!"
Wood Release! Wood Dragon Technique!
A terrifying green wooden dragon burst from the ground, charging straight at the Nine-Tailed. Its aura was so fearsome that even the demon-like Nine-Tailed could not compare.
It bared its fangs and claws in mid-air, roaring continuously, but under the suppression of the Wood Dragon Technique, it could not defy fate. It was seized in mid-air, struggling in vain.
The gap between the two sides was simply too large.
This gap didn't refer to pure power.
For in terms of pure power, the Nine-Tailed's strength was undoubtedly superior to the Minamikawa Yuu here.
But what was being contested here was the will and spiritual strength of both sides.
In this regard, even if the Nine-Tailed itself were here, it likely wouldn't be a match for Minamikawa Yuu.
Even though a Tailed Beast's power is terrifying, like a natural disaster, its spiritual level might not be much stronger than an ordinary person's.
Moreover, this part wasn't the real Nine-Tailed, but merely an instinctive will formed by the combination of the Nine-Tailed's flesh and Chakra.
In terms of true level, it was far inferior to Minamikawa Yuu.
Within the mental space, in just a moment, the Nine-Tailed was suppressed by Minamikawa Yuu and fell completely silent.
This marked the completion of the first step.
In the outside world, at the moment the simulated Nine-Tailed was completely defeated, the Nine-Tailed slowly opened its eyes.
He looked ahead, his gaze landing in the direction of Minamikawa Yuu, as if sensing something.
"It looks like he succeeded."
He shook his head with some emotion: "Although I expected it, this progress is still a bit too fast."
"Young people these days are truly remarkable."
"Forget it."
He spoke softly, murmuring to himself, "If it's him, he won't bring shame to my power."
The Nine-Tailed thought this to himself, then slowly closed its eyes.
In his perception, a brand-new Tailed Beast power emerged in the distance.
That power contained his Chakra, yet also many other things.
For example, traces of Wood Release and the aura of the Sharingan could be found within this power.
So many different powers contained together should, by common logic, conflict with each other, yet now they appeared exceptionally harmonious.
On the operating table, Minamikawa Yuu's figure appeared.
On the surface of his body, marks emerged one after another, wrapping around him like exquisite and complex tattoos.
This was the mark of Kaguya's Seal.
When Minamikawa Yuu was conducting the experiment just now, the Kaguya's Seal mark in his body had been in an activated state.
The main reason for this was safety.
Devouring the flesh of the Nine-Tailed was a major undertaking, and the risks involved were quite significant.
Minamikawa Yuu didn't dare to be reckless and gamble with his life like the Kinkaku Brothers.
Activating the Fan Seal provided much more security, at least ensuring his body wouldn't collapse, allowing him to survive the most dangerous rejection period.
And now, as the Nine-Tailed's flesh was devoured and completely merged with him, the Kaguyas Seal Power on his body began to recede.
A brand-new power began to surge continuously.
"So this is the power of the Nine-Tailed..."
95
He raised his hand, and a pale gold Chakra suddenly emerged, transforming into a thick Chakra barrier on the surface of his body, giving the impression that he had donned a Tailed Beast Cloak.
In fact, this was Minamikawa Yuu's own unique Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
After devouring the Nine-Tailed's flesh, he had gained the ability to produce Nine-Tailed Chakra himself, making him like an independent Tailed Beast.
The Tailed Beast Chakra was his own, so he was essentially a perfect Jinchuriki who could fully control the Tailed Beast.
Just like when Uzumaki Naruto first subdued the Nine-Tailed in the future.
Standing where he was, Minamikawa Yuu reached out his hand.
On his body, the Tailed Beast Chakra began to surge. A massive amount of Chakra bolstered him, forming a sharp claw that struck heavily forward.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the instrument used for testing in front of him was instantly shredded, offering no resistance against the claw formed by the Tailed Beast Chakra.
"The power is quite decent."
Feeling the power of this strike, Minamikawa Yuu nodded, fairly satisfied with the result.
In the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot, disappearing directly via the Flying Thunder God to a plain outside Konoha.
This was a place he had specifically found for testing certain techniques.
The Nine-Tailed was also teleported along with him.
"Ji, you brat."
Disturbed from its sleep, the Nine-Tailed seemed very dissatisfied: "What did you teleport me here for out of the blue?"
"Sorry, I just have a few things I'd like to ask."
Minamikawa Yuu gave an apologetic smile and then said, "Also, I'd like you to be an observer."
"Hmm?"
Under the Nine-Tailed's puzzled gaze, Minamikawa Yuu began to move.
He took a step forward, and a terrifying Chakra aura emerged from his entire body.
Bang!
Golden light blossomed.
On the surface of Minamikawa Yuu's body, a thick Tailed Beast Cloak manifested, its Chakra aura terrifying to the extreme.
