Making the Best Use of People and Things
"Ka~ ka~"
The excessive Chakra caused the surrounding ruins to tremble and crack continuously. Dark red tails emerged one after another. Although a rough human form was still visible, the pupils had completely turned pure white.
A gale swept across the ground, rapidly drying out moisture, and countless grains of sand and dust were carried into the air.
Just a dark red Tailed Beast cloak, a partial Tailed Beast transformation?
Lin Ke didn't hesitate any longer and charged straight ahead. Tailed Beast Bombs were troublesome. The Chakra Scalpel could cut through Chakra, so it could probably cut through a Tailed Beast Bomb made purely of Chakra as well.
But Tailed Beast Bombs could explode.
If the other party didn't plan to fully transform into a Tailed Beast and just opened their mouth to fire off a Tailed Beast Bomb, it would be idiotic for him to stand there waiting for them to continue their transformation.
He's coming?
Utakata looked at the kid charging towards him, and instead of being afraid, he unhesitatingly jumped forward.
"Chi!" His Tailed Beast cloak was covered in hard-to-distinguish, highly corrosive liquid. Just a few drops falling caused green smoke to rise from the ground, and the liquid that seeped down destroyed the soil structure, causing the ground to slowly sink.
Uchiha Fugaku keenly sensed the problem and used the Body Flicker Technique to move forward, wanting to help. Momochi Zabuza and Haku moved simultaneously from the other side.
Seeing the two of them act, Maki formed hand seals, waiting to use Wind Release: Net to temporarily control the Jinchuriki and buy time for the subsequent battle.
I just love how confident you are...
Lin Ke reached out and grabbed, releasing Chakra that instantly created a Chakra Scalpel. The huge, thin, translucent blade quickly drew a semicircle in the air.
"Teng!"
A piece of the Tailed Beast cloak covered in corrosive liquid was directly cut off, revealing Utakata's astonished face inside.
Because this Chakra Scalpel was longer and the partial Tailed Beast form was smaller, it even cut off some ordinary Chakra mixed in with the Tailed Beast Chakra.
Why wasn't this blade corroded?!
The thought flashed through his mind, but his body was charging forward and couldn't stop suddenly. The Chakra circulating within him was also cut off, so he could only grit his teeth and swing his claws in attack.
"Whoosh!" Blades of light danced wildly, and all six tails, piece by piece of the Tailed Beast cloak, fell to the ground.
"Chi~" The attached highly corrosive liquid continued to erode the ground, and soon most of it was enveloped by the soil, as if sinking into a swamp.
Utakata landed on the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
Breaking the Tailed Beast cloak with Ninjutsu or suppressing it with Sealing Jutsu was understandable, but directly and easily dismembering the Tailed Beast's power, and the key was that he clearly felt the blade cut through his body, cutting off his Chakra as well.
What kind of ninja tool was that? He looked at the Chakra Scalpel, his body controlled by the shadows, trying to communicate with Saiken, but was met with a very unpleasant feeling.
Lin Ke stood in front of him, stepping on the shadows, and looked down at the Jinchuriki close at hand, calmly saying, "Now, do you recognize reality?"
"Your technique can cut through Chakra," Utakata calmed down. "Those words just now were to anger me, to induce me to use Tailed Beast transformation."
He couldn't think of how he could win now.
If he didn't close the distance, didn't transform into a partial Tailed Beast state, and instead used ordinary Ninjutsu and a large amount of Chakra to maneuver...
But there were no 'ifs' in this world.
"I lost." Utakata stood still with his hands hanging down, his expression gloomy, and quietly accepted his fate.
Whether death or something else awaited him next.
Lin Ke looked at him and said, "Come with me, I need your power."
Utakata raised his head in surprise. These words coming from a kid's mouth had a strange, awkward feeling.
"What's the reason?" he asked after a long while.
Lin Ke gave a gentle smile. "I'm stronger than you."
Strength was the reason, fists were power, and the bigger the fist, the more right you had.
Utakata was speechless, but coldly said, "Even so, I won't work for you."
He wasn't even afraid of death, so what could force him?
Jinchuriki were like this, bearing pain and loneliness, living in this world with confusion, so they naturally became self-willed.
That's why Naruto, with his unwavering determination and refusal to give up, is so special.
Lin Ke didn't say anything more, smiled, and told his shadow to keep an eye on him. He nodded to Maki, Zabuza, and Haku, signaling that they were free to do as they pleased. This was a pre-arranged condition, allowing them to spend their remaining time as they wished after the battle.
Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward and said in a low voice, "You're taking too much of a risk. Let us handle it."
He was genuinely afraid that something might happen to the boy. Partly because he had some affection for him, and partly because if this reckless kid died, he and his wife would never see Sasuke again.
"Uncle Fugaku, those who only hide behind the lines and cheer will never have followers," Lin Ke said meaningfully as he jumped off the shadow.
Uchiha Fugaku paused, thinking about many things, but he quickly dismissed them.
Regardless of any ambitions Lin Ke might have, he had genuinely helped Sasuke too much. Even if it was exploitation, a ninja was a profession that needed to be exploited.
In fact, being needed so definitely already surpassed many people.
The shadow quickly brought over Kakuzu's complete corpse, including the shriveled, black thread-like mask monster. Lin Ke sealed them all into scrolls one by one.
Fortunately, he had come prepared to collect Tailed Beast Chakra, so he brought many scrolls. He had several hanging on his chest and a huge one on his back, which was more than enough.
Hidan's head was also brought over. His face was full of defiance. Even as a prisoner, he still had a stubbornness that dared Lin Ke to kill him.
"I admire your expression," Lin Ke said with a smile, looking at him. "Don't worry, I will bring your entire body back to the village intact. After squeezing all the information out of your head, the village's human experiments will all depend on you."
"Immortality, Mr. Hidan."
"No, from today on, your name is Mr. D."
In fact, the simplest and most brutal way to deal with Hidan would be the Underworld Swamp. Just throw him in and it would be over, but that would be too wasteful.
Immortality allows him to withstand many experiments that normal humans cannot.
Even if transplantation experiments might have problems due to the Jashinism's experimental results on Hidan, purely destructive experiments would be very useful.
For example, some of his Ninjutsu with unknown effects, Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu development, etc. He would be very useful as a human target. How could he be simply and brutally thrown into the Underworld Swamp?
Hidan was simply born with the perfect D-class personnel physique, with so many uses. Not only could he not be killed, but he had to be preserved properly.
Perhaps when Lin Ke sat on the throne of the heavens in the future, he would be the most solid stepping stone.
