Chapter 64: Naraku Forges Lion King Belt, Tsunade's Transformation, and the "Big" Teacher's New Look
Naraku hurriedly stepped forward and asked Tsunade: "Teacher, are you okay!"
Tsunade laughed boldly: "A little lion—how could I possibly be in trouble?"
After confirming Tsunade was fine, Naraku quickly began refining the Undying Lion King on the ground.
Tsunade seemed to notice that Naraku wasn't sticking as close as usual. She looked down at herself—already covered in the lion king's blood.
Anger surged in Tsunade's heart: she had worked so hard to fight the dangerous species for him, yet he was actually disgusted by her.
Suddenly, she hugged Naraku from behind. Naraku instantly felt two massive objects pressing against his back. But unlike usual, he didn't smell Tsunade's body fragrance—instead he smelled the Undying Lion King's blood and brains.
Seeming to feel she had taught Naraku a lesson, Tsunade said casually: "I'm going back to take a bath!"
Then she left.
After refining the Undying Lion King into biological essence, Naraku left together with Uchiha Hiiro.
Back at the clan grounds, Naraku saw Mifune still diligently training Armament Haki and nodded in satisfaction.
In his mind he thought: Mifune, train hard—best if you reach Advanced Armament Haki. Then I'll claim another reward straight to my hand.
Naraku walked into his familiar forging room. He thought for a while about whether there was any way to further upgrade Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King].
After thinking for a long time, Naraku had to give up due to lacking suitable materials nearby.
But he could make a small optimization to Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King]: allow the user to choose whether to beastify the palms or not.
This was also something to consider for the ninja profession—they needed to form hand seals. Although Naraku rarely saw Tsunade form seals in battle, out of a people-oriented service philosophy, he decided to add it anyway.
Otherwise, if one day Tsunade accidentally slashed him, it wouldn't be good.
Since Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King] was a belt-type Teigu, the new Teigu did not include "Green · Scarlet Sand Iron" or "Scarlet Ore"—only 10 portions of Oriharukon and 10kg of refined iron were used to further enhance chakra conduction ability.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, working clones No.1, No.2, and No.3 appeared in front of him again.
The three had their own分工: one was responsible for stoking the fire, while the other two focused on forging.
Naraku's main body was responsible for supplying materials and observing the entire process.
As time passed, Naraku's mastery of the forging rhythm improved more and more, and his speed grew faster and faster.
In just half a day, a beautiful belt appeared before him.
Naraku carefully dripped the biological essence of the Undying Lion King onto the belt and began chanting the incantation.
As his voice sounded, the biological essence quickly fused into the interior of the belt.
At the moment the belt finally took shape, it seemed to emit a lion's furious roar.
Ding...
[Congratulations, Forger has crafted an A-grade weapon: Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King]!]
Naraku habitually inspected the belt's attributes:
[Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King]: A-grade weapon! This belt uses extremely fresh biological materials, plus Oriharukon and refined iron. Forged using the standard belt-type Teigu secret technique. Completed in half a day! Ultimately achieved a slight transcendence over the original weapon's level! This belt allows free length adjustment, possesses the "Durability" trait, and has strong chakra conduction ability! Skills:
Beastification: Beastifies the user, dramatically increasing physical abilities. Senses such as smell are also enhanced, allowing enemy detection.
Lion Never Dies: Greatly increases recovery power—even if limbs are severed or eyes are gouged out, bleeding can be stopped and regrown.
Selective Beastification: The user can freely choose which body parts to beastify.]
Naraku suddenly noticed that even gouged-out eyes could regrow, and an evil idea came to mind: capture Uchiha Madara, keep digging out his eyes, then let him regrow new ones using Hundred Beast King Transformation.
Wouldn't that allow mass production of Rinnegan?
Unfortunately, Naraku knew that was impossible—even if Uchiha Madara were willing, Hundred Beast King Transformation probably couldn't make up for the lost ocular power.
...
Naraku arrived at Tsunade's home. At this moment Tsunade was drinking sake while researching medical ninjutsu.
Naraku couldn't help wanting to complain: can she really learn anything like this?
Tsunade had already grown used to her disciple's arrival and continued studying on her own.
Naraku once again sat close beside Tsunade, but to his surprise, Tsunade pushed him away a little disdainfully.
Looks like she was still holding a grudge from being "disgusted" this morning. This version of Tsunade made Naraku want to laugh.
The 23-year-old Tsunade—who hadn't yet suffered massive trauma—sometimes really acted like a female college student, even if this college student was a bit violent.
Naraku sat close to Tsunade again. This time Tsunade didn't push him away.
Naraku said to Tsunade: "Teacher, I prepared a gift for you! Close your eyes."
After hesitating for two seconds, Tsunade closed her eyes.
Naraku then placed the Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King] belt in front of Tsunade.
Then said: "You can open your eyes now."
As Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, she saw the belt in front of her.
Naraku explained: "This is the belt-type weapon Hundred Beast King Transformation [Lion King] that I forged using the Undying Lion King from earlier. Just silently chant 'Transform! Lion King' in your mind, and it will beastify the user to greatly strengthen physical qualities and enhance senses like smell. It also has an ultimate technique 'Lion Never Dies'—after activation, it massively boosts recovery power. Even if limbs are cut off, they can regrow. This way, Teacher, you can further improve your survivability!"
Hearing Naraku's words, Tsunade finally understood why he had asked her to fight the Undying Lion King earlier—it was to forge this Teigu for her. She couldn't help feeling a little moved.
Especially since her elders had passed away one after another, leaving only her foolish little brother who needed her care—but naturally no one took care of her.
Tsunade slowly hugged Naraku's head. Naraku thought to himself: could it be that one is coming?
Tsunade slowly moved her lips to Naraku's forehead and gave him a kiss.
Being kissed on the forehead by a beautiful woman for the first time, Naraku's old face turned slightly red with embarrassment. He felt very satisfied.
As for Tsunade's "kiss of death"—that was simply nonsense. He, the great Uchiha Naraku, would fear that?
He'd just set this flag right here!
After kissing Naraku's forehead, Tsunade looked at his slightly blushing face and smiled: "Good disciple, come with me to see the power of your new Teigu!"
"Transform! Lion King!"
As Tsunade silently chanted in her heart, a lion's roar echoed.
Tsunade began transforming: two cute beast ears grew on her head, twitching from time to time; her palms changed, becoming soft-furred lion paws that looked extremely adorable; a mischievous tail forced its way out from under the clothes at her backside, wagging back and forth as if greeting everyone around.
Naraku's index finger immediately began twitching with desire!
