Ninja Pot Shadow

She didn't obscure her vision, and even though she felt her chakra slowly draining away, she didn't think anything of it. She even thought Ino was weak. Back in the day, the First Hokage... tsk tsk, those were the days she wanted to forget.

"Yugito, I give you all my power to defeat the Konoha ninja."

"understood!"

Yugito, controlling the tailed beast's chakra with her own will, transformed into a giant cat covered in blue demonic markings. Her two long tails twitched rapidly, creating a series of explosive sounds in the air.

Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage were both very nervous, and the battle became even more intense than they had anticipated.

"Steaming and Exploding Power!" Even with the escape technique suppressing the tailed beast, Ino still felt the terrifying pressure from it.

Since you've already transformed into a tailed beast, I don't need to be polite.

She summoned the chameleon Shuzaki, restored the summoned beast to its animal form, and activated its invisibility ability. Afterward, she released a fat Ino.

Before she could even yell "Crack!", a loud "boom" was heard. Yugito's instincts were astounding, and she preemptively tore the fat Ino apart with her claws. However, she underestimated the power of this move.

Despite the insufficient accumulation of steam, the hot oil from the explosion still splashed all over her, and the huge shockwave sent her flying dozens of meters away, crashing into a small hill.

She is hurt.

Countless vines wrapped around her again, but she struggled to break free.

Fat Ino quickly condensed and then exploded twice in succession, both times nimbly dodged by Yugito.

Ino kept using her ultimate move, and a third of her chakra disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She didn't want to fight the tailed beasts with chakra, so she continued to increase the output of the Flower World Advent. Dense, snake-like vines tightly wrapped around Yugito's legs. The chameleon Kuzusaki also revealed itself, its huge tongue wrapping around Yugito's right arm. The largest and most suppressive Rafflesia flower on the battlefield opened its bright petals, and countless white mycelium pierced into Yugito's body. Then the petals closed, firmly fixing her left arm and half of her body in place.

Ino was extremely weak after using the Steam Explosion Technique repeatedly. She emerged from Shuzaki's body and kicked Yugito in the groin, who had transformed into a giant demon cat.

She then used the power of Tsunade's Painful Kick, and the demon cat instinctively cried out, sounding like it wasn't feeling well.

Ino showed no respect for the cat's personality whatsoever. She spread her right hand, fingers outstretched, and aimed it at her stomach, preparing to use the Five Elements Seal.

"Pfft!" Suddenly feeling a chill in her lower abdomen, she looked down and saw Yugito exit her tailed beast form. As if taking off her sleeve, she let the Rafflesia absorb the Two-Tails' chakra from one of her arms, restore her human arm, and pierce Ino's lower abdomen with its claws, leaving a gaping hole. The five sword-like claws even twisted clockwise.

"Ugh!" Ino spat out a mouthful of blood. She hadn't expected the other party to be so ruthless, just throwing away the chakra of one of the tailed beast's arms like that.

Ino's right hand rested on Yugito's left wrist, and countless vines wrapped around the wound. The other tried to struggle and create a bigger wound, but the Rafflesia sensed Ino's intentions. Dense white mycelium pierced through her body from behind, constantly absorbing her strength and injecting toxins. As a Jinchūriki, her body was becoming weaker and weaker.

Neither of them backed down, nor did they utter a word of begging for mercy.

They looked at each other, wanting to see who could last the longest.

The blood flowing from Ino's lower abdomen stained the grass beneath her feet red, but she still held on tightly to the other's hand. Yugito first exited his half-tailed beast form, then gritted his teeth and unleashed a Fire Rat Ball, driving back the chameleon Kuzusaki, and regaining his right arm's freedom.

Her strength was almost exhausted, and she was unable to form claws. She could only take out a kunai, slowly raise her arm, and slowly stab it toward Ino's eyes.

Ino raised her other hand, letting the kunai pierce her palm, then spread her fingers and grabbed her opponent's fist.

The two men stood still for a moment, then headbutted each other, leaving their faces covered in blood.

"I am a Jinchūriki, I will persevere to the end, you cannot defeat me and Matatabi." Yugito had long since put aside the thought of losing face by fighting a junior. At this moment, his mouth was full of blood, and he gritted his teeth as he used words to put psychological pressure on his opponent.

Ino remained unmoved: "Big sister, my chakra is plentiful; I can fight all day long!"

The truth is, they couldn't even last ten minutes.

Aside from the awkward atmosphere, the posture resembled a wedding ceremony, with the two slowly kneeling face to face. After several minutes of this tense standoff, they were exhausted and collapsed together, neither of them able to stand up.

There were no winners in this battle; both men fell.

Chapter 201 Turtle Island

Ino had five bloody holes stabbed in her stomach, and blood was gushing out.

The wooden figure was bleeding from all seven orifices and had a blackish complexion, which indicated that it was severely poisoned.

The tailed beast inside her was suppressed by the Flower Release technique, and she herself was pierced by hundreds of holes by mycelium, with all kinds of toxins being injected into her body like they were free. Now, apart from her eyeballs being able to move, she has no feeling in her body.

Tsunade still couldn't draw blood, so Shizune put Tun-Tun down and quickly ran over to help treat them.

Shizune examined their injuries and said, "Miss Yugito, you are deeply poisoned, but Ino's external injuries are also severe. I will treat her first."

The wooden man's mouth was numb from the poison, so he couldn't speak. He could only move his eyes twice to indicate that he understood.

Shizune first pulled the claws that the wooden doll had inserted into Ino's lower abdomen out of her. There was hardly any blood loss, whereas Ino had almost bled out of her.

Ino also had a sudden thought, and all the white mycelium of the Rafflesia retracted, and the petals slowly closed.

The two bodies, which were previously connected by a single flower, are now completely separated.

Shizune used the Palm Healing Technique to stop Ino's bleeding. The essence of the Palm Healing Technique is to activate the growth of the recipient's own cells. Ino's cells cannot reach the level of a Sage's body, but under external stimulation, they still slowly begin to heal.

She had lost too much blood and was almost completely exhausted. She was too weak to stand up, so Jingyin took her backpack and rummaged through it.

Ino took out seven or eight antidotes in succession, but she shook her head at them all.

She only slowly nodded when a small box with a pleasant fragrance, which didn't seem like an antidote but rather resembled a cosmetic.

Ino's lips twitched twice, and Shizune quickly put her ear to Ino's mouth.

"The poison...is very deep. This can only...partially alleviate it..."

Silent nodded: "I understand."

The wooden man is deeply poisoned. Even with an antidote, it can only alleviate the symptoms at best. Jingyin will still need to prepare some antidotes later.

After explaining the precautions, Ino relaxed her body.

Unlike the First Hokage and Naruto, who could lie down for a while and then stand up full of energy, she couldn't. She let her body slowly sink into the sea of ​​flowers, using the immense life force there to repair her body.

"seal up!"

Deep within the sea of ​​flowers, she sealed away all the Two-Tails chakra she had collected during her descent into the Flower Realm.

The blue fire rat jewels that scattered during the battle, and the tailed beast arm that was finally discarded by the wooden man, all contained a considerable amount of dark blue Two-Tails chakra.

The chakra of the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, and Nine-Tailed has now been collected.

The sealing technique exhausted Ino's last bit of strength. She put away the sealing scroll, closed her eyes, and gathered the life force of the Flower Realm to slowly repair her body's damage.

On the other side, Shizune gave Yugito the antidote, and she began to cough violently. Then she vomited a large amount of thick, pungent, dark brown blood. The smell was so strong that it almost made Darui, who came to help, faint.

As long as there's no bleeding, Tsunade can treat Ino without any problems.

With the wooden puppet as the human spirit, most of the toxins were removed, and the body recovered very quickly.

A day later, the two regained their mobility.

Five days later, they fought again, and it was still a fierce battle.

Ino couldn't keep up with the speed brought by Yugito's ninjutsu, and Yugito also had no way to deal with Flower Release, a technique that naturally counters tailed beasts.

Against ordinary ninjas, she can unleash 150% of her power when she teams up with the tailed beast. But against Flower Release? She can't even unleash 80% of her power. The suppression of Flower Release and the constant weakness of the tailed beast within her severely affect her combat ability.

Yugito tried to use a continuous barrage of attacks to prevent Ino from using Flower Release, but Ino's taijutsu was not that weak. She was able to use it even at the risk of getting injured. Once she used Flower Release, the battle entered a tug-of-war phase.

Neither of them can beat the other, so how should this be accounted for?

"Let's go, pack your things, I'll take you to Turtle Island." The Fourth Raikage was still quite magnanimous; this draw was acceptable to him.

Yugito and Darui had to return to the village to carry out a mission, so the two female ninjas left first. Killer Bee had nothing to do, so the Fourth Raikage let him follow along. Afterwards, he took Tsunade, the three of them, and a boar to Turtle Island.

Turtle Island is a giant tortoise that the Hidden Cloud Village has raised for many years. Just how big is it? You can refer to Zunesha from One Piece.

The giant tortoise can be considered a slow-moving island with its own food chain. Its climate is somewhat like a subtropical climate. Considering that the tortoise island is made up of an enormous creature, the temperature here is more like its body temperature. As for the specific climate, that depends on the giant tortoise's physical condition.

Turtle Island and Zunesha, Im-sama's Rinnegan, Big Mom's 33rd son who looks exactly like Uchiha Madara—Ino had just set foot on Turtle Island when she felt her thoughts were wandering wildly. When she thought of Chibi Maruko-chan's grandfather and One-Punch Man, she realized something was wrong and quickly gathered her thoughts.

The more she tried to restrain herself, the stronger her thoughts became. She had to close her eyes, shut down most of her senses, and let her turbulent mental energy gradually calm down.

"What's wrong? Is he sick?" The Fourth Raikage's hoarse voice rang out at just the right moment.

Kirabi, completely disregarding the occasion, launched into another rap performance, gesturing wildly.

The strange tone of voice only made Ino feel more annoyed.

"Suppress your spiritual energy and use the Yang Seal to seal away the excess chakra first," Tsunade shouted sternly.

Ino sat cross-legged on the ground, continuously extracting chakra, converting it into yin attribute, and then storing it in the yang seal.

A visible blue energy mist appeared on her body, an outward manifestation of a control problem. At the same time, it also meant that her chakra reserves far exceeded those of an ordinary person. Ordinary ninjas don't have the problem of chakra loss of control; they only know how to manage their chakra carefully. Loss of control? Impossible!

Ino converted about 30% of her chakra before she felt her mind calm down again. She stood up, shook her head, and felt very strange about what had happened here.

“This island is a giant creature. According to my great-uncle, its biomagnetic field can affect ninjas with strong spiritual energy, which is why I brought you here,” Tsunade explained.

The Fourth Raikage let out a heavy "humph," clearly displeased that the Second Hokage was secretly researching the giant tortoise of their Hidden Cloud Village.

Ino asked with a Versailles-like air, "Really?... Didn't you sense anything unusual? It's like my thoughts are out of control. I feel like my mental energy is being pulled by some force, spinning and spinning."

Tsunade pretended to look at the scenery in the distance and didn't say anything. Shizune shook her head with a smile, while Tonton nudged her with its hoof, meaning that was enough and she should stop showing off her spiritual energy or she would get beaten up!

Chapter 202 The Real Waterfall

The Fourth Raikage clearly had no intention of treating them to a meal or taking a break, and instead dragged them directly to the depths of the mountains in the central area of ​​the island.

The area is filled with strangely shaped rocks, many of which are composed of calcium carbonate, collagen, and other substances accumulated by the giant tortoises over their long growth.

There are so many that they have formed a continuous mountain range.

The real waterfall is located deep within the mountains.

The actual waterfall isn't very high, about five meters wide and a little over ten meters high. In terms of scale, it's nowhere near magnificent; it's just a small waterfall.

"This is impossible!"

The moment Ino saw the real waterfall, she was ten times more excited than everyone else combined. She grabbed her senior sister's sleeve, almost causing her to stumble.

"Senior sister, did you see that? This is a stream of water formed entirely from purified spiritual energy. It's unbelievable that spiritual energy can reach such a level, actually interfering with matter from the spiritual realm! It's a miracle!"

She looked amazed.

Shizune hugged Tun Tun and chuckled dryly, "Yeah, yeah... that's really amazing..."

Tun Tun nodded repeatedly.

The Fourth Raikage took two steps back and asked in a low voice, "Bee, did you understand what that little girl said? Isn't this just some waterfall water?"

“Little girl? Little brat? Little rascal, Konoha Village’s little fool, yay!” Killer Bee raised his right hand, bending his middle and ring fingers to make a “love” gesture.

"Damn it! I'm talking to you!"
