Chapter 272 Energy Fluctuations in the Caverns

the other side.

The wooden man held Suzumiya Musashi and rushed into an unfamiliar intersection.

She ran for a long time without looking back, until even her transformation into a wood-man tailed beast could no longer withstand the exhaustion, and she finally slowed down.

It was at this moment that she realized that the pursuers behind her seemed to have disappeared.

Although I don’t know why the other party didn’t catch up, it’s still a good thing.

She let go of her perception and after confirming again and again that there was no movement behind her, she ended her tailed beast transformation.

The dark blue chakra slowly subsided and its shape began to shrink.

After returning to her human form, she slowly put Suzumiya Musashi down.

"Are you OK?"

"I... I'm fine." Suzumiya Musashi responded, seeming a little absent-minded.

"That's good."

The wooden man slumped on the ground and said, "They probably didn't catch up with us."

Suzumiya Musashi said nothing.

After a moment, Yu Muren noticed that something was wrong with his condition and frowned, "Are you really okay?"

"Tell me if you have any questions."

Suzumiya Musashi shook his head.

He felt that his thinking was not as sharp as usual.

The lightning poison in the body had been cut off along with the tissues by his sealing technique, and the remaining wounds were also healed under the effect of the Yin Seal.

However, at this moment, a strange tingling sensation was constantly coming from the places where the lightning poison had passed.

The pain is not strong, but it is real.

[Isn't the thunder poison cleaned up? 】

Suzumiya Musashi couldn't help but guess in his heart.

The lightning poison of the purple-striped emperor viper just now was indeed very overbearing.

The lightning poison of an ordinary emperor viper was enough to give him a headache, and the lightning poison of the purple-striped emperor viper just now almost killed him.

He believed that with his current strength, apart from a few methods such as Kamui, he could fight any Kage-level opponent. Especially when the seventh gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu was opened, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu.

He has the confidence to deal with it.

Let alone the people he has met, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Yukito... none of them would pose such a deadly threat to him.

However, the Purple-Striped Emperor Viper just now almost killed him with just one thunderbolt.

The opponent's thunder poison was the most lethal of all the methods he had ever faced.

That level of power has surpassed ordinary attribute ninjutsu.

There is also a difference in strength.

Take chakra as an example. As the technique passed down by the Otsutsuki clan in the ninja world, the highest level is of course the level of Kaguya's bloodline.

Further down, there are a small number of bloodline limits and Ohnoki's bloodline elimination.

Further down, there are ordinary bloodline limits and special ninjutsu, and after that, perhaps, ordinary attributeless chakra.

Among these, sealing technique is a relatively special system.

As a Yin-Yang-Tsukushi ninjutsu that relies heavily on talent and inheritance, sealing techniques have a very high status in the ninja world.

To put it more generally, it can seal the enemy's chakra, objects, and energy.

The more advanced ones can seal souls and tailed beasts.

It can be said that a strong sealer can use his sealing skills effectively against most enemies. The Uzumaki clan was besieged and destroyed by various forces because of their extremely high talents and bug-like sealing skills.

But today, facing the thunder poison of the Purple-Striped Emperor Viper, his sealing technique actually had an evenly matched or even repulsive reaction. In the end, he relied on the huge amount of chakra of the Yin Seal to suppress it with force, and finally contained the thunder poison, even at the cost of peeling off part of the liver and tissues.

It is much more difficult than Amaterasu who sealed Uchiha Itachi.

If it were another Kage-level ninja today, he would probably have died from the opponent's lightning poison.

Suzumiya Musashi was worried that the method he had just used did not completely eliminate the lightning poison, so he checked again before the pursuers arrived.

But no matter how he felt, there was no other change in his body except for the strange tingling sensation.

After using my mental power to perceive, I didn't find anything wrong.

【Is there anything I missed? 】

Suzumiya Musashi thought.

He released the remaining Yin seal state to save chakra.

Then, he calmed down and continued to sense himself.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the end, Suzumiya Musashi didn't find anything wrong with his body.

Moreover, as time passed, the tingling sensation in the body gradually disappeared and turned into a feeling of craving.

A desire for power.

At the same time, he felt a calling.

The body craves not just because of the body's desire, but because of the summoning power.

According to Suzumiya Musashi's spiritual perception, there seemed to be a huge ball of energy in front of him, emitting an extreme attraction.

[What's that in front?] Suzumiya Musashi opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the energy fluctuations came from.

In spiritual perception, the huge energy ahead seemed to be like the golden pool in the geomagnetic magic swamp, emitting strong and pure energy fluctuations.

A sense of vigilance immediately arose in his heart.

It was because his intelligence was not detailed enough that he acted rashly in the geomagnetic demon swamp and sealed the golden liquid, which put Uzumaki Karin and others in danger.

Now, similar energy fluctuations came again, and he immediately remembered the lesson from last time.

Don't be blind!

The more valuable something is, the harder it is to obtain. Behind seemingly tempting rewards, there are huge dangers and side effects.

Reward yourself too.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Mu Ren asked curiously as he saw him staring into the distance.

Suzumiya Musashi asked back: "Did you feel it?"

Yu Muren was stunned: "What did you feel? Are they chasing you?"

"No." Suzumiya Musashi said: "Energy fluctuations."

"There is an extremely pure energy fluctuation ahead." He turned to the wooden man and asked doubtfully, "Can't you sense it?"

As a perfect Jinchūriki, a powerful ninja who coexists peacefully with the tailed beasts, with Yukito's strength, he should not be unable to sense such obvious energy fluctuations.

Yumuto was also a little puzzled when she heard Suzumiya Musashi's words. She let go of her mind and felt it, then shook her head slightly after a while.

"Can't feel it."

“There are no special fluctuations.”

Then, she changed the subject and said, "But you are much stronger than me. Maybe you are the only one who sensed it."

As he said this, he gave an affirmative smile.

Suzumiya Musashi: “…”

He felt like something was wrong with Yumu Ren.

They were fighting to the death before.

Even though we have fought side by side before, you don't have to smile so happily, right?

Putting the strange thoughts behind him, Suzumiya Musashi continued to sense the energy fluctuations coming from afar.

He was sure he sensed it.

Powerful, pure, stable.

Waves of movement, like the breath of the sea, swept through his spirit.
