Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 59 Trial

"If we're talking about sealing tailed beasts, the Uzumaki clan, or rather, the current Konoha Village, is the best at it. But if we're talking about taming tailed beasts and achieving a symbiotic balance with them, as far as I know, Kumogakure is ahead of Konoha."

Inside the Forest of Death, Orochimaru, who had brought Shika Nie there, explained to him, "They seem to have a technique that allows them to communicate with the Tailed Beasts, but that's a top secret of the Hidden Cloud Village. I only deduced this from clues."

"You want to reconcile with the Two-Tails within you, but that's something that's difficult to achieve in a short time. If you simply want to utilize the Two-Tails' power, or rather, study it, my suggestion is to learn from Mito Uzumaki and use sealing techniques and your powerful mental strength to forcibly suppress the Tailed Beast."

"Humans are always like this." A roar from the two-tailed cat demon echoed from within Lu Nie's spirit.

"Jinchūriki can go out of control! Once your mind relaxes, you will be eroded by the chakra and spirit of the tailed beast. If you cannot control and suppress it, you will lose consciousness and gradually turn into a tailed beast and go berserk."

Minato's seal on you is very effective. As long as you don't completely lose control of your emotions, the portion of the Two-Tails' chakra within you won't be able to break through the limitations of the sealing technique.

But you'd better learn to control it. If your identity as a Jinchūriki is exposed, Danzo will definitely do something shady.

Orochimaru patiently explained to Shikane.

"So, today we're going to learn how to control the chakra of the tailed beasts?" Lu Nie nodded. He had an additional spiritual consciousness within him. Although it was relatively quiet for the time being and hadn't caused him any trouble, it was still a potential problem.

Learning to control the situation first, and then conducting research, is also a safe approach.

"Try drawing upon the tailed beast's chakra first, try to control it." Orochimaru stepped back a little: "I've set up a barrier nearby, I'll stop you if you lose control."

Lu Nie took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and lowered his mental consciousness to the front of the cell where the Two-Tails was imprisoned. Looking at the pair of huge eyes that lit up in the dark cell, he stretched out his hand slightly.

Blue, high-temperature chakra flowed down from the bottom of the cell, gathering at Lu Nie's feet like water, and then climbing up his entire body.

Lu Nie's consciousness instantly felt the rising heat on his body, as if it were about to burn his consciousness to ashes.

With the infusion of chakra, the spirit of the tailed beast, accompanied by intense heat, began to invade Shikane's consciousness and body like a tidal wave.

The more chakra is leaked, the deeper and more powerful this erosion becomes.

People with weak wills are easily overwhelmed by this chakra imbued with willpower, losing consciousness and having their bodies taken over by the tailed beasts, resulting in a completely out-of-control tailed beast transformation.

Not only mentally, but the out-of-control Tailed Beast chakra also has a severe corrosive effect on the Jinchuriki's body, even to the point of threatening the Jinchuriki's life.

Sometimes, even if a tailed beast doesn't harbor any ill will towards its Jinchūriki, the power it lends can still be harmful. Unless it's a perfect Jinchūriki.

Wisps of blue flame appeared on Lu Nie's body, then piled up on his body like scales. As the blue flames rose, blisters swelled up on the skin of his exposed arms.

Lu Nie suddenly opened his closed eyes, his black pupils transforming into a pair of eerie cat-like eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Orochimaru opposite him. A blue flame tail swayed in the wind behind him.

"Has he already lost consciousness? It seems we were a bit too hasty."

Looking into those eyes filled with savagery and ferocity, Orochimaru sighed inwardly.

However, the changes in Shiro's body were not yet complete. After undergoing a partial tailed beast transformation, he seemed poised to break through to full tailed beast transformation. Orochimaru frowned as he sensed the increasingly powerful chakra source ahead.

He pulled the Kusanagi sword out of his mouth with his hand like a circus act, and held it in his palm. He planned to finish the battle quickly and awaken Lu Nie's consciousness before he completely lost control.

Roar!

The half-tailed beast Shika Nie lay arched on the ground, his limbs moving as lightly as a cat's, his back arched high, as if he would pounce on Orochimaru and tear him to pieces at any moment.

Orochimaru had no doubt that it would do so.

However, just as Orochimaru was about to strike first, the half-tailed beast Shikanobu, who was about to pounce, suddenly froze in mid-air like a statue, using his feet as a foothold.

Huh?

Orochimaru keenly sensed the anomaly, and the next moment, he saw a pitch-black shadow cover up the half-tailed beast-transformed body of the deer.

The dense black branches resembled fragile yet powerful nerve threads, piercing through the chakra tailed beast cloak on the body's surface.

A hint of annoyance flashed in the two-tailed creature's eyes, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't control the deer's body, which was being invaded by its consciousness, to move even a little.

A strange force was forcibly vying for control of the deer's body.

At the same time, the cat once again sensed the resurgence of the will of the deer. The opponent's spiritual will, even through the chakra tailed beast cloak on its body, was tentatively trying to invade its will in turn.

At least the cat felt that the portion of chakra it had released was out of control. Even its own consciousness was being forcibly bound by some force.

"Shadow magic?"

Upon seeing the dark shadow, Orochimaru had a sudden realization, but he quickly corrected his second guess: "Shadow Technique shouldn't be able to achieve this level. Is it Shadow Escape Bloodstains?"

Seeing that the situation had changed and that Lu Nie had not lost consciousness without any resistance, Orochimaru, who had previously wanted to interrupt the trial and awaken Lu Nie's spirit, temporarily held back and began to observe again.

The tailed beast's chakra slowly lost its ferocity, as if its will had been replaced by another will, becoming more gentle and controllable.

If the blue flames on Lu Nie's body were previously like rampant fires, then these blue flames now resemble torches and bonfires lit according to the user's wishes and plans.

"So capable, kid!" The cat, having lost the external chakra, muttered again in the cell, then lay down on the ground and looked at the deer that had reappeared before it, its voice booming like thunder.

"We are not enemies, there is no need for confrontation. My previous promise to you still stands." Lu Nie stood in front of the cell, looking at the enormous creature inside, and softly assured him.

P.S.: I'm still writing the second update, it's almost finished.
