Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Eight-Tails Falls

He had been greedy for just that moment earlier, missing the best opportunity.

Rosen's eyes narrowed, and his figure once again transformed into a streak of light.

Yotsuki Semi himself was a Jonin; he felt that even if he wasn't the strongest, he was at least very close to it.

Even the legendary Shinobi God Senju Hashirama might not be much different.

But now, watching Rosen's battle with the Eight-Tails Gyuki, he could deeply feel that there was a disparity among Shinobi.

Rosen currently had a living sealing scroll in his hand, and while the living sealing scroll could Seal Tailed Beast, it had to be without resistance.

So Rosen had to beat the Eight-Tails Gyuki down.

But he couldn't help but cut off a few more of the Eight-Tails Gyuki's tentacles.

The Eight-Tails Gyuki's recovery ability is extremely powerful; if one of its tentacles is cut off, it can grow back in a few seconds.

And the severed tentacles contained a huge amount of Chakra, which was also the reason Rosen collected them.

Rosen felt it was about time; after cutting off more than a dozen of the Eight-Tails Gyuki's tentacles, he could clearly feel its weakness.

Rosen spread his palms, Light Release: Fire Tree Silver Flower!

Yotsuki Semi, hiding in the distance, widened his eyes. He saw thousands of dazzling lights, reaching the extreme, blooming like a galaxy in an instant.

In the past, he thought the yellow plains in the Northern Region at sunset were the most beautiful.

But today, he saw a scene more beautiful than that barren plain.

The radiance was breathtakingly beautiful; though it lasted only an instant, it made people feel an unprecedented shock.

Fire Tree Silver Flower covered the Eight-Tails Gyuki's massive body.

Finally, the Eight-Tails Gyuki weakly collapsed to the ground, its huge body covered in wounds.

Rosen also let out a long breath, finally resolved.

To deal with such an oversized giant enemy, only Tenseigan Mode and large-scale destructive techniques like Fire Tree Silver Flower could resolve the battle.

Rosen took out the living sealing scroll, formed hand signs, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon… Seal.

A unique pulling force immediately appeared on the living sealing scroll, pulling the Eight-Tails Gyuki's massive body on the ground towards it.

And with every inch it got closer, its size shrunk by a few inches.

The huge body, like liquid, continuously absorbed into the living sealing scroll.

After more than ten seconds, the Seal was finally completed.

Rosen put away the scroll and let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Yotsuki Semi not far away and waved.

"Your Excellency Rosen."

"I'm leaving."

Yotsuki Semi said nothing more, just nodded silently: "Your Excellency Rosen, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

[Obtained 20 spacetime points.]

Rosen was a little surprised, he couldn't help but look at Yotsuki Semi a few more times.

Had he changed some plot character in this World again?

Or was it that Yotsuki Semi would have died at the hands of the Eight-Tails Gyuki?

Forget it, none of that matters.

Rosen waved his hand and soared into the air directly.

In this battle, Rosen used seventy percent of his strength; it wasn't particularly difficult, but it wasn't easy either.

However, wild Tailed Beast are relatively easier to deal with; if it were an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it would be much more troublesome.

Tailed Beast can only rely on their huge bodies and Tailed Beast Ball for destruction.

But Jinchuriki can release various more complex and troublesome Ninjutsu without restraint, using the Tailed Beast's immense Chakra.

Especially perfect Jinchuriki, who are even more dangerous than Tailed Beast in their wild state.

Rosen estimated that his current strength should still be able to deal with a perfect Jinchuriki, except for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

The Nine-Tailed is too special; it inherently possesses both Yin and Yang attributes and can be split into two halves, and a half Nine-Tailed possesses more Chakra than the sum of Chakra from one to Eight-Tails.

When Rosen opened Distortion Space again, he found that the Eight-Tails Gyuki's tentacles stored inside Distortion Space had disappeared, and Distortion Space had once again expanded, this time reaching 1 million cubic meters.

This space area was barely enough to fit a Tailed Beast.

It seems that Distortion Space can not only absorb corpses but also Chakra or energy.

Rosen thought of the Dragon Veins of Loulan Kingdom, but currently, Loulan is still doing great in terms of living standards because of the Dragon Veins, and it hasn't been affected by the Warring States Period, with the highest average happiness index in the Ninja World.

If he were to mess with the Dragon Veins and something went wrong, causing their GDP to collapse, that would be a great sin.

Returning to Konoha Village again, Rosen found the Hokage's office.

"Tobirama, this is yours." Rosen threw the living sealing scroll to Senju Tobirama and plopped down on the nearby sofa.

Senju Tobirama smiled: "I knew you could do it."

"I almost died. I don't think I'm suited to be a Shinobi. I plan to retire."

"Don't joke around. You're so powerful, and you're only in your twenties. Retire? Impossible."

"I'm not joking." Rosen said: "I plan to go to Land of Whirlpools for a bit."

"If you want to go to Land of Whirlpools, I can give you a long vacation, but as for retirement, don't even think about it."

Senju Tobirama knew that Rosen had always been interested in the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, and he also knew that he was going to Land of Whirlpools for Sealing Jutsu.

So he could give Rosen time to go to Land of Whirlpools, but he was unwilling to let Rosen go.

"I'm going for quite a long time."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Konoha doesn't have any major issues requiring your assistance recently."

Currently, Konoha only has administrative issues, and Rosen couldn't help much.

He knew that if he asked, Rosen would inevitably complain about the trouble, but would still help him.

But Senju Tobirama was unwilling for Rosen to do his dirty work.

Senju Tobirama threw a sealing scroll to Rosen: "This contains a copy of the sealing scroll."

Rosen had always lived in the Senju Clan, so he had naturally seen Uzumaki Mito, but only seen her; he had never exchanged a single word with her.

When he returned to the Senju Clan, Senju Banma and Kawarama Senju immediately came to greet him.

Itama was now eighteen years old and also a Konoha Special Jonin, currently assigned as a teacher at the Shinobi Academy.

Kawarama was also fourteen. Both of them had been rescued by Rosen, so they held him in particular respect.

"Big Brother Rosen." The two immediately greeted Rosen respectfully upon seeing him.

Compared to Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, Itama and Kawarama's Shinobi talents were actually quite ordinary.

They had both been on the battlefield, but still maintained the clarity and sincerity of youth.

"Big Brother Rosen, Big Sister Mito is looking for you."
