Chapter 79 Longing for the blue sky, but not knowing how broad it is
"..."
Facing Kumokawa's gentle inquiry, Shinnō's pupils just shrank, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
In other words, he didn't know how to describe the...
"monster" standing in front of him.
"Zero-Tail" is not a ninjutsu developed by Shinnō. It is a monster that truly exists in the ninja world in a special form.
Its core is the power named "Dark Chakra" by Shinnō, and "Dark Chakra" originates from the darkness and desire in the human heart.
People always say that Nine-Tails is a "collection of hatred", but in Shinnō's view, Zero-Tails is the real "collection of hatred".
No, not just hate.
There is also pain, anger, jealousy, fear, unwillingness, resentment...
"Zero-Tail" is the aggregation of negative emotions and darkness in human beings' hearts. It is a monster whose shape is similar to that of a tailed beast and it cannot be completely killed!
Because human beings will have desires when they are alive, and desires will turn into malice and darkness.
As long as human malice and darkness do not disappear, "Zero Tail" as a dark aggregate will not die. Even if it collapses, it will absorb malice again and condense again.
And Shinnō, who has mastered "Zero Tail" and "Dark Chakra", naturally has a keen perception of human malice and darkness.
"...I admit that I have seen many evil people, and the malice and darkness in their hearts is very strong."
Shinnō's eyes flickered, staring at the figure in the distance, and sneered: "But, I have never seen anyone so evil."
"Your malice and darkness is overflowing. Just seeing you makes my hair stand on end."
His eyes at this moment seemed to swallow them all up, he felt that his eyes had fallen into an abyss.
Because in his eyes Kumokawa was not a living person.
It was clearly a bloody shadow exuding the aura of the abyss!
Mist-like light mist whizzed down from above his head, and indescribable shadows surged around him.
Taking the light between the two as a boundary, one side stands under the bright light, while the other side is shrouded in cold haze, and the tones of light and darkness are separated.
Kumokawa's figure was shrouded in the shadow, making it difficult for Shinnō to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Shinnō once thought about a question.
"Zero Tail" is the aggregation of human inner malice and darkness. So to what extent can the malice of individual human beings reach?
The moment this guy appeared, he was sure the answer was right in front of him.
He simply couldn't believe that such near-substantial malice and darkness could appear so pure and condensed in a human being.
But after realizing this fact, Shinnō had new doubts in his mind.
Why can that guy still stand there peacefully?
Although he doesn't know what the darkness in the other person's heart is, the other party's malice and darkness makes him feel horrified.
Kumokawa's spirit and thinking should have completely lost human rationality and fallen into the whirlpool of instinct and desire like a wild beast.
The moment he stepped into this place and saw him, he should rush over at all costs, tear his body into pieces and drink his flesh and blood.
But why could that guy still stand there and say hello to him gently?
"Because I have no hostility towards you."
The "shadow" in front of him spoke, his gentle and sincere voice full of rationality, and also filled with unexpected sincerity towards Shinnō.
"...Who are you?"
Shinnō was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "I believe you are not hostile, but I also know that you must be asking for something."
The lingering black energy in his eyes seemed to dissipate. After a while, He finally saw Kumokawa's face clearly.
Really too young.
However, as long as the opponent is a "person" and cannot exploit his own darkness and malice, he will be invincible.
Malice is not the same as strength.
"Like you, I come from a small country. I know that you plan to invade Konoha, and I want to give you a warning and a choice."
Kumokawa did not answer Shinnō, but said with a smile to himself: "With your current weak strength, The Third Hokage doesn't need to take action. As long as the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki steps forward, it will be enough to destroy you easily."
"Whether it is the ninja tool that you are proud of or the 'zero tail' that you use as your trump card, in the Great Country Ninja Village. We are all vulnerable in front of us. "
External forces are only external forces after all, and they still need to be controlled by people. Ninja tools can only be the icing on the cake and play a limited supporting role.
If the comprehensive quality of the sly ninjas is strong enough and they can master the changes in the form and properties of the wind release chakra, they can control the flying ninja tools faster and more skillfully.
Instead of being easily defeated by Kumokawa even though they had the height superiority like before.
"What do you want?" Shinnō narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction and asked again.
"I hope you can bring your Sky Ninja Village to join us."
Kumokawa looked into Shinnō's eyes and said sincerely: "We have similar enemies and demands."
However, after hearing Kumokawa's heartfelt words, There was a coldness on Shinno face.
"Let me join you? You said it so nicely, but it's actually robbery."
He stood up slowly and said in a cold voice: "Although it's not clear why you know so much about our situation, you seem to be interested in our power. Is there any misunderstanding?"
A faint black chakra appeared on his clenched fists, and the strong body muscles were surging with powerful vitality and power, but he just looked at the Kumokawa in front of him.
Those bloody shadows that cannot be driven away by light are the concrete malice in that guy's heart.
He felt that if he suddenly punched now, he would only pass through the hazy blood-colored shadow, and not a trace of blood or flesh would stick to his fist.
This unusual and strange feeling made Shinnō hesitate for a moment.
"As expected."
Seeing this, Kumokawa looked helpless and said in a melancholy tone, "Another idiot who can't understand human language."
After that, he looked up at Shinnō in the distance and put on his humble smile again and said: "I want to ask you one last time. I really want to cooperate. Can you sit down and have a good talk?"
"Although I don't understand where your darkness and malice come from..."
Shinnō just stared at him and sneered, and slowly raised his head and sneered: "But rather than cooperate with a guy like you, I want to feed you to my Zero-Tail."
This guy's malice is enough to make Zero-Tail full and produce an extra burst of dark chakra energy.
"Roar!"
Thinking of this, a look of greed flashed across Shinnō's eyes, and his body with bulging muscles subconsciously bowed, and a beast-like roar came out of his throat.
The dark chakra is condensed and compressed in the palm of the hand, and it will turn into particle-like chakra balls.
But the next moment.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, and the physical transformation technique he performed was instantly interrupted.
Bang! !
No one saw when Kumokawa took action, and the suffocating murderous intent appeared in an instant.
The roaring wind lifted up the surrounding area, and the stone chair behind Shinnō also exploded, and the broken stones were scattered in all directions.
One hand violently grabbed Shinnō's throat, causing him to hit the stone chair and fly backwards!
Kaka! Click! !
The moment his neck was hit by a huge force, his hands and feet were raised uncontrollably until he was pressed against the wall behind him. Blood overflowed from both sides of Shinnō's mouth, and his thick neck made a crisp sound of bone cracking.
"It seems that you can't listen to me if I talk nicely."
Kumokawa raised his head and stared at the astonished Shinnō, looking at the ferocious and twisted arc on his face, and said calmly: "The poor frog at the bottom of the well, longing for the blue sky, but it doesn't know how vast the sky is."
As he spoke, he clenched his hands inch by inch, gradually tearing apart Shinnō's neck, and squeezed the cervical vertebrae until they made a cracking sound.
"Ho ho!"
Shinnō's eyes widened as he was lifted into the air, and a few strands of blood seeped out from the torn corners of his eyes. The golden pupils that shrank due to fear were dyed a terrifying red color by the blood.
So fast!
How could it be so fast?
Looking at that expressionless face and feeling the increasing strength on his neck, Shinnō had a hint of fear in his eyes.
This guy really wants to kill me!
One moment he was laughing and discussing, and the next moment he is going to kill me?!
With such a crazy, terrifying, malicious and dark "monster", I really shouldn't underestimate his character based on his appearance and age!
This seemingly gentle and friendly boy is actually a moody lunatic!
"Ahem!"
Shinnō spat blood from his mouth, tried his best, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Zero Tail!!"
His hysterical roar echoed in the huge space.
The next moment, there was a loud explosion in the air.
boom! ! !
The entire wall behind Shinnō exploded in an instant, and the splashing gravel streaked across Kumokawa's face and body.
"Eaaah!!"
Shinnō's roar seemed to have opened Pandora's box. A harsh and weird scream came from behind the broken wall, and several thick pale yellow tentacles smashed and penetrated the wall!
In an instant, the ground beneath Kumokawa's feet collapsed. The cracks sunk in like a collapse of a mountain, turning into countless pieces of gravel and soil that fell downwards!
The momentary release of energy was caught by the monster behind the wall. The giant snake-like tentacles wrapped around Shinnō's body and suddenly pulled him back from Kumokawa's hand.
Kumokawa didn't bother too much, he just took a deep look at the Zero Tail, and stepped on a piece of falling gravel in the air.
Immediately, a shock under his feet shattered the gravel that was used as a leverage point. Following the direction of those tentacles, he quickly rushed into the deep and dark space below!
Until Kumokawa saw clearly the strange runes engraved all over the space, as well as the transparent "giant cocoon" hanging in the center of the space.
Boom! Boom!
Kumokawa's heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and then started beating even more violently.
"That's it." His eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's a good thing!"
At this moment, the giant cocoon suddenly stretched out a thick tentacle.
The air was sucked out with an ear-splitting sound, and an unreasonable force hit Kumokawa in the air!
