Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#396 - Maggot on the tarsal bone!

“Zzz~zzz~…Crack!”

“Boom~~~!”

Facing the Ten-Tails' not-so-surprising, and somewhat belated, counterattack, Liang Yue was naturally prepared.

With a thought, the small tree in front of him, already swollen to more than ten meters tall, instantly released a large amount of lightning and fire.

Just like the innate imagery of Thunder, Fire, and Wood, after the Parasitic Fetus Seed took root and sprouted, besides following the species instinct of Wood and possessing the ability to absorb and convert energy,

it also had the innate characteristic of converting its own energy into thunder and fire!

Even more outrageous was that the energy absorbed by the Parasitic Fetus Seed technique ultimately originated from the Ten-Tails itself~

It could truly be said, 'Taking from it, and using it against it!'

As a result, for a time, the power of thunder and fire in the field surged everywhere as if it were free.

Lightning flashed, flames soared, and the two mixed together, transforming into a swift thunder-fire whirlwind, actively迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎上 the incoming giant tails that were coming from above.

According to the current saying in this Naruto world, the power born from the fusion of thunder and fire should be called "Blaze Release"!

In the later stages of the Naruto storyline, Sasuke seemed to have mastered this aggregated energy change.

As for its power, it was just so-so~

At least, in the orthodox plot, there wasn't much description.

Liang Yue felt that this brevity in coverage and description was actually a bit casual...

The potential of the "Blaze Release" attribute itself was still worth exploring!

However~ he didn't have time to delve into anything at this moment.

With a muffled sound of "Bang!"

In the end, the incoming tails were bounced away by the continuous output of "Blaze Release" from the small tree!

However, facing Liang Yue, this bad seed clinging to its body and sucking blood, the Ten-Tails naturally wouldn't willingly submit.

As a result, the Ten-Tails entered a state of berserk fury.

Its ten tails lashed out repeatedly, its pair of claws scratched non-stop, it rolled over and lay on its side like a mangy dog, pressing its back against the ground and rubbing vigorously...

If its body structure allowed it, the Ten-Tails would probably have turned around and launched a few Tailed Beast Balls at him!

These seemingly inconspicuous attacks, amplified by the Ten-Tails' massive body, produced a destructive force that was truly shocking~

In addition, there was the ear-piercing, sharp roar of the beast that hardly stopped for a moment.

For a time, the wind raged, the earth shattered, the mountains shifted, and the rivers flowed backward!

Under the wind pressure generated by the overflowing berserk energy, even the surrounding space seemed to distort!

At this moment, the Allied Shinobi Forces in the distance appeared exceptionally small in the face of this disaster-level change.

A slight carelessness could lead to death and obliteration.

Seeing this, the Kage of each village, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, simultaneously ordered everyone around them to quickly evacuate~

On the other side, Little King Kong and Madara, who had been fighting endlessly but unable to overcome each other in the short term, had also temporarily stopped fighting.

To be precise, it was actually Madara who chose to retreat proactively~

As for Little King Kong, because of the special spiritual contract connection with Liang Yue, he knew that although the person seemed passive at this time, secretly, nothing was happening to him!

In comparison, the Parasitic Fetus Seed technique was an even more rogue trick that made him stronger when his opponent was stronger, rooted in the Ten-Tails' body like a maggot attached to a bone!

The external branches, leaves, and other things were just appearances after absorbing the Ten-Tails' chakra, the seed inside was the true body!

The Ten-Tails' mindless moves such as scratching, tearing, and rubbing randomly on the ground, although seemingly fierce, couldn't harm its essence at all.

In addition, the energy needed for the Parasitic Fetus Seed to grow and develop all came from the Ten-Tails itself~

So theoretically, these tree vines and branches were actually a part of the Ten-Tails.

In terms of strength and toughness, it was naturally not inferior!

Unless the Ten-Tails could suddenly use some powerful technique that Liang Yue didn't know about, otherwise, based on this thing's performance in the original plot, it was simply not enough to pose a major threat to his plan!

......

"If we look at the energy level, this Ten-Tails is indeed very unusual, whether it's the amount or quality of energy, it's not something I can currently match~"

"Unfortunately, this guy's operating method is still too primitive, like a mad dog, fierce, barbaric, and violent~"

"Although it doesn't lack instinctive intelligence... perhaps it's precisely because its foundation is too good that it seems reluctant to study some subtle energy operations."

"Truly, a waste of so many years~"

"On my side, I have the advantage in subtle operations and diverse means of dealing with the enemy, although I'm not as strong as the opponent in terms of energy, and the quantity is even more severely unbalanced.

But fortunately, I still have a Byakugan~"

"The spiritual power in Tenseigan Mode can barely compete with the Ten-Tails, used to maintain the consumption of the Parasitic Fetus Seed technique, as for the time~"

"A fully stocked backup Shadow Clone can probably last for about a minute or so."

"So calculating, my Tenseigan Mode can probably last for seven or eight minutes~"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but go over the previous plan in his mind again, his gaze looking at the seed inside the Ten-Tails.

Facing the Ten-Tails' outside, which was a veritable shrew-style mad dog combat mode, Liang Yue was calm and composed, not affected in any way.

At this moment, dense vines all around were firmly fixing him in the depressed area of the Ten-Tails' body surface.

To be precise, it was the dead corner area at the base of the spiral hump on the back of the Ten-Tails.

And the small tree that was originally sprouted by the Parasitic Fetus Seed, under Liang Yue's control, had transformed from a woody plant into a vine plant~

The originally upright branches had now turned into countless soft and tough vines.

Like a tangled ball of yarn, it tightly wrapped around the Ten-Tails' massive body.

In the eyes of the surrounding onlookers, this originally fierce and terrifying Ten-Tails now seemed to have become a naughty kitten.

Unable to sort it out, unable to break free, the more it struggled, the tighter it would be wrapped!

Moreover, if they observed carefully enough, they would find that the Ten-Tails seemed to be shrinking!

This change in size was not obvious, after all, the original body size of the Ten-Tails had already exceeded the visual assessment range of most ninjas, so it was naturally difficult to detect even if it increased or decreased slightly.

But this trend was indeed happening silently!

Needless to say, the reason why the Ten-Tails showed this change was naturally because of the effect of the Parasitic Fetus Seed~

After all, the seed that was planted into the Ten-Tails' body originally had the ability to absorb and convert chakra.

And besides using the converted energy to sprout more tree vines for self-protection, a considerable portion of it would be stored by Liang Yue for other uses~
