Chapter 44: Main Skill Shadow Clone, Unleashing the Five-Tails (1/2)

Wakaho's reserve of B-rank jutsu was not extensive, and most of them were originally fire-style techniques.

However, they were all quite practical.

Fire-style techniques, known for their power, need no introduction. The fire (water) dragon bullet he's been using is also a B-rank skill.

"So, it's between Great Fire Annihilation and the Water Dragon Bullet, huh."

Though it was an early decision, Wakaho didn't want to waste it.

Great Fire Annihilation is often hailed as the best B-rank jutsu, largely due to the reputation of Uchiha Madara.

On the other hand, the Fire (Water) Dragon Bullet was Wakaho's trusty flying mount, and currently equipped with built-in machine guns and flamethrowers, with rocket launchers still in development.

"Too bad neither of these has special attributes."

Like his C-rank main skill Great Fireball, the first two attributes are about boosting power and reducing chakra consumption.

Even the boost percentages are consistent, increasing power by 300% while reducing consumption by 90%, forming the foundation for the main skill enhancement.

"Spending 1.5 times the chakra to activate it doesn't seem worth it..."

Wakaho wasn't particularly inclined.

Without the Sage Mode's amplification, the upper limit of fire-style techniques was something he had once already dismissed, much like the Amaterasu.

Chakra issues were something he would solve eventually, and this slight increase in power would soon become insignificant.

However, what Wakaho valued most about the main skills were the special attributes they could trigger.

Wakaho quickly scanned through his other B-rank skills.

It's all Orochimaru's fault for being so eager to drag him out on this mission.

He genuinely forgot to decide beforehand.

"The problem is that I don't have many other jutsu. My B-rank skills are still too few... Huh?"

Wakaho blinked, realizing he had stumbled upon a hidden gem.

[B-rank Main Skill: Shadow Clone Jutsu (Beta): Creates a tangible shadow clone that shares memory with the original and can fight on its behalf.

Main Skill Enhancement 1: Shadow Clone's durability ↑ 300%, shares buffs with the host, and in the event of the host taking damage, 80% of the damage will be absorbed by the shadow clone.

Main Skill Limitation 1: Upon upgrading to a main skill, the usage limit will be locked to "1," with a cooldown of 1 minute.

Main Skill Limitation 2: Upon upgrading to a main skill, the maximum chakra capacity will be limited to 20% of the host's chakra.]

"How come I didn't discover you earlier, my dear..."

Three attributes and two limitations, but all could be overlooked.

After all, he could still learn the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Wakaho made the decision almost instantly!

Not only did he finalize this jutsu, but a series of strategies also sprang to mind!

For example, storing dozens of shadow clones in advance and then roaming freely.

Or using shadow clones as scouts, given their 300% durability!

"Indeed, the attributes are the essence of the main skill!"

Wakaho was thrilled; even if the shadow clones couldn't share buff boosts, just the other two attributes alone made this a god-tier skill!

"Maybe it's because shadow clones can't increase power, so they compensated with extra attributes?"

Swoosh!

A pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb whizzed past Wakaho's left side, stirring up a gust of wind before striking a nearby mountain.

Boom!!!!

The power of the Tailed Beast Bomb never disappoints, its explosion resounding through the heavens!

Wakaho instantly regained his composure, realizing that a rampaging tailed beast was still on his tail.

"Better figure out a way to calm this guy down first..."

Wakaho turned back to see that Han had now completely transformed into a partial tailed beast form. His entire skin was replaced by the black-and-red tailed beast chakra, and five tails had already emerged from his back!

He was charging at Wakaho, using the mountain rocks to propel himself like Manda, relentlessly pursuing him at incredible speed!

"This... is he about to break the seal!?"

Wakaho's expression turned peculiar. If the tailed beast inside a jinchuriki broke free, the jinchuriki would die instantly.

This was the risk of becoming a jinchuriki, and the only way for a tailed beast to break free from its binding with its host.

Kokuo was the Five-Tails.

Han was clearly not a perfect jinchuriki, and his relationship with Kokuo was likely strained.

Seeing the hope of breaking free, Kokuo would naturally show no mercy.

Although Han's form still retained some human characteristics, those five tails on his back indicated...

It was only a matter of time before Kokuo broke free from the seal.
