Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Perfected Chimera technique
Inside the cave, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared intensely outside.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
A flurry of kunai glinted in the air, embedding themselves into the hard stone walls around. When the strange creature saw that neither a man nor a woman had entered but rather a mass of kunai, each attached with sizzling explosive tags, his pupils shrank with rage.
"Grr! None of them! Haha, then I'll just charge out and kill everyone!"
*Boom!*
The next moment, a terrifying explosion echoed from within the cave, mingling with the thunder in the sky.
"He's out!"
With a loud crash, a figure burst forth, and Uchiha Mikoto shouted a warning. But when Uchiha Yosuke saw the figure emerging from the cave, he wasn't surprised. Just as Mikoto had reported, it was exactly as he suspected.
"Haha!"
The creature emerging from the cave laughed maniacally, black markings spreading grotesquely across his face and evolving, turning him into a full-fledged monster.
These markings weren't tattoos—they were a curse mark!
"Jugo! The Curse Mark! A naturally awakened Sage Body!"
Upon seeing the figure, Uchiha Yosuke's eyes lit up with excitement. Beside him, Uchiha Mikoto was shocked. "Yosuke, you know him?"
But at that moment, seeing the creature and the black markings spreading across its body, Yosuke shouted sharply, "I've heard of similar rumors. Let's finish this quickly—don't give him time to let the curse mark evolve!"
Without hesitation, they both jumped into the trees, each moving to a different side.
The creature, now fully consumed by bloodlust, cackled and charged toward Uchiha Mikoto. Yosuke, however, swiftly began forming hand seals on the other side.
"Kill!"
*Whizz...*
A piercing sound filled the air, followed by the snapping of wires as the rampaging creature fell into a trap laid with taut steel wires.
Yet, under the strengthening of the curse mark, the creature roared and broke through each wire.
At that moment—
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"
With chakra gathered in his throat, Yosuke unleashed a large fireball, hurling it at the creature's back.
"Mikoto!"
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto quickly completed her own hand seals and spat out an even larger fireball.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"
Two massive fireballs struck the creature from both sides, so close that it had no time to dodge.
But the creature, now a raging beast, didn't even consider dodging. Instead, it roared and struck at the fireballs with brute force.
*Boom!*
The fireballs exploded in the rain, the thunder covering up the sounds of their battle.
*Boom!*
Explosive tags and ninjutsu filled the forest with continuous eruptions, and now the creature had fully transformed, no longer resembling a human.
"Damn it! This creature just keeps getting stronger!"
Standing on a tree branch, Uchiha Mikoto panted, watching the beast intently. Uchiha Yosuke, beside her, frowned deeply as memories rushed through his mind.
In the original story, Orochimaru only discovered Jugo's existence later and then developed the curse mark from him.
And this clan didn't possess a kekkei genkai but rather a unique Sage Body that absorbed natural energy uncontrollably, leading to violent outbursts.
Out of control! Emotionally unstable!
Realizing this, Yosuke made a decision and shouted, "Mikoto, use genjutsu! This monster's emotions are unstable; it's clear he can't control this power. Use genjutsu to bring out his inner fears!"
Trusting Yosuke instinctively, Mikoto didn't hesitate. Her eyes glistened with her two-tomoe Sharingan, spinning as she formed hand seals.
'Genjutsu: False Surroundings Technique'
In an instant, the creature, caught in Mikoto's two-tomoe Sharingan gaze, visibly flinched, his deepest fears surfacing.
"No! I didn't kill everyone! Don't drive me out… Don't…"
His memories surged, and the monster let out a frantic scream, trembling with fear. From his words, it was clear he couldn't control himself and had killed people from his village, leading to his exile.
As his mind became even more unstable—
"Now's our chance!"
Seeing the creature's moment of distraction, Yosuke seized the opportunity, launching kunai with explosive tags straight at its mouth and throat.
*Boom!*
A series of explosions drowned out the creature's roar. Meanwhile, Mikoto grimaced in pain, covering her eyes as blood trickled down—her chakra and spirit drained by the genjutsu.
Yosuke took this moment to draw his blade, vanishing into the smoke.
"No… I didn't kill… every…one…"
*Slash!*
Blood sprayed as his blade sliced through the creature's throat. Its body, already mangled from the explosions, lay still, muttering weakly as its eyes began to fade.
Forbidden Technique: Chimera technique (Perfected Version)
Amid the smoke, Yosuke activated a forbidden technique he'd kept in his mind for twelve years. He raised his hand, pressing a unique, diamond-shaped curse seal into the creature's forehead.
Instantly, a powerful suction began absorbing the creature's Sage Body energy.
Before his eyes, the creature's monstrous features began to fade, revealing an emaciated, elderly man. Though he lacked chakra, with his Sage Body he could transform into a beast by absorbing natural energy.
"Yosuke!"
As the dust settled, Mikoto called out in concern, rushing over. But what she found was the frail body pinned to the ground by Yosuke's sword.
"I… didn't kill… any… one…"
The rain washed over the pool of blood around them as the elderly man's lifeless eyes stared blankly, his voice hoarse and faint.
Yosuke, panting heavily, let out a sigh of relief. The curse mark on his palm faded, leaving behind faint markings that slowly disappeared.
The perfected Chimera technique could absorb and fuse bloodlines. However, to truly integrate the power took time and specialized stabilization. It was a perfect technique in name, but in reality, it required many resources and precautions.
His original plan was to absorb power from another Sharingan user, as the bloodline rejection would be minimal. However, this Sage Body curse mark was a rare opportunity.
It also aligned with his strategy regarding Tsunade's plans.
Thinking about this, Yosuke's expression turned grave.
