Chapter 364: Awe-Inspiring_2
But precisely because he remained vigilant against the initial attack and chose to defend, leaving an opening, it allowed the seven Water Clones to establish their positions within the range of the Celestial Pole Big Dipper formation and then simultaneously perform Hand Seals.
While they were forming Hand Seals, Tao Yu's actual body also formed the Seal of Si in sync.
Because Tao Yu had significantly simplified his Hand Seal process before, his sudden move was unforeseeable, leaving others in the dark about what he intended to do.
Water Escape: Water Prison Technique!
A massive sphere, with the seven Water Clones at its boundary, rose from the surface of the lake, instantly encasing the half-Tailed Beast form of Kankitsu Yagura within it.
After that, Tao Yu changed his Hand Seal and used the only Sealing Skill he had learned from Hozuki Gengetsu.
Water Sealing Technique!
Although Hidden Mist Village was not famous for its Sealing Techniques, with the fall of the Whirlpool Country, many clans obtained some of what was left.
The Water Sealing Technique was considered a fundamental standard Sealing Skill, a precursor to the Five Elements Seal and the most convenient and easily mastered technique for a Water Escape Ninja.
In combination with the Water Prison Technique, which already possessed partial Sealing powers, black tadpole scripts began to move up the water prison, following its flow.
Kankitsu Yagura inside the Water Prison similarly sensed trouble, feeling a delay in his powers.
As he was about to erupt in a roar and transform fully, the seven Water Clones exploded simultaneously, and the lightning contained within caused Kankitsu Yagura inside the Water Prison to stiffen again.
In the end, he could only watch wide-eyed as the tadpole scripts spread over the Water Prison, and as it shattered, they fell upon him, engulfing him in a wave of weakness.
Raising his arm to look at the Tailed Beast cloak on his arm, which seemed to have come alive, Kankitsu Yagura gave Tao Yu a look of recognition.
"Mr. Tao really is formidable. However, a basic-level Sealing Technique such as Water Sealing cannot contain a Tailed Beast. I must get serious now."
Kankitsu Yagura sighed, a touch ashamed.
Initially, when faced with a guest, he had intended to politely make allowances, but this concession had put him in a difficult position from the first exchange.
Moreover, his opponent seemed to be familiar with only this one basic Sealing Technique. What if he had mastered something more advanced, capable of sealing a Tailed Beast? How could they cope then?
Being a representative of Hidden Mist Village in a way, he could accept defeat, but not without dignity!
Roar~
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the tadpole scripted Sealing Chains instantly shattered, and a beast emerged, wrapped in an uneven shell resembling a giant, legged clam. Standing fifty meters tall and seeming even more robust than the Colossal Titan, it appeared atop the lake.
The waves it raised blew in all directions; the huge spray and fierce winds flattened the lakeside vegetation, and leaves rustled loudly.
The sight caused the watching Ninja of Hidden Mist Village to instinctively raise their hands to fend off the surging waves.
Many Ninjas from the village finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on the face of West Mountain Pufferfish, with his ghastly expression.
"I didn't expect to have to transform fully into the Tailed Beast, but true, I can't keep losing face like this; I've been too passive so far."
No matter how unpleasant his character, he still held a sense of honor for Hidden Mist Village. As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he took pride in the emergence of Three-Tails.
This is the Tailed Beast, our village's Jinchuriki!
In external affairs, this is our face value!
Meanwhile, Tao Yu, gazing at the fifty-meter-tall Isobu and not sure where to strike to injure it fatally, also raised his head in admiration.
"Such a strong energy fluctuation; I am far from comparable."
"That's normal. Human power cannot compete with a Tailed Beast."
The voice that came from Isobu was the transformed voice of Kankitsu Yagura, who still had control even in full Tailed Beast form.
However, Tao Yu seemed unconcerned upon hearing this, as Hozuki Gengetsu standing beside him definitely did not share your self-important thoughts.
Because he had indeed seen that thing which only required a clap of hands and a roar to summon.
Do you think the Tailed Beasts were distributed to you...

"I want to ask, with your current form, if I shave off a piece of this giant thing, it won't hurt you, right?"
Hearing Tao Yu's words, besides Kankitsu Yagura, the other elite members of Hidden Mist Village also paused in surprise.
Even after witnessing the power of the Tailed Beast, he dared to say such a thing?
Some were skeptical, but many felt a chill in their hearts.
Having suffered twice at the hands of Tao Yu, Kankitsu Yagura undoubtedly belonged to the latter category.
With gravity, he said,
"The essence of becoming a Tailed Beast is still Chakra; my true body is at its core. As long as you don't harm the core, it won't cause me too much damage, so feel free to go all out."
Kankitsu Yagura was well aware that this was also about gauging his opponent.
The techniques used by his opponent so far had all been learned from Hozuki Gengetsu; while he knew about the rapid Hand Seals, the integration of Ninjutsu, and that he was quite innovative, he had not yet seen any abilities that were uniquely his own.
So, relying on his own tough hide, he was prepared to endure for a bit to understand the power of the outside world.
"Alright, be careful. This move might be a bit too powerful, I'll try to aim slightly off. Don't move around, okay..."
Tao Yu slowly reached for the Black Iron Heavy Sword on his back.
With continued use to date, and having employed the technique Little Three Harmony numerous times and even been tempered by heavenly thunder, the Black Iron Heavy Sword had grown increasingly familiar, even gaining a new trait.
[Spirit Communication]: When wielded by the user himself, the sword becomes more efficient; when used by others, they will feel resistance.
For this reason, many of Tao Yu's abilities could now be channeled through the Black Iron Heavy Sword.
