Chapter 136: Susanoo Reappears.
Naobito Zenin tossed the samurai sword in his hand.
"Clack—"
Tatsuro caught it steadily, gripped the hilt, and slowly drew the blade. Under the moonlight, the body of the sword glinted with a cold light. The quality of this cursed tool was in no way inferior to the long sword Noritoshi Kamo had compensated him with, perhaps even better.
"Fine."
Tatsuro drew the samurai sword and said, "However, if I win, you have to give me this samurai sword."
"Of course, on the premise that you can win against me."
Naobito Zenin drew the samurai sword in his hand. He didn't understand why things had developed to this point. Logically, after absorbing that amount, he should have long since fallen into endless desire, entangled with those women.
Yet now, he could still control himself! Could it be that he was 'rootless'?
Tatsuro controlled his 'Susanoo,' sweeping a hand towards the ground. The earth it passed over instantly disintegrated, and dirt mixed with rubble swept towards the head of the Zenin family.
"Tch, I'm really being underestimated."
Naobito Zenin calmly stroked his handlebar mustache, seemingly paying no mind to this non-threatening attack. The instant the rubble was about to hit his face!
"Click—"
At some unknown point, the right hand that had been stroking his mustache was now on his sword hilt, as if sheathing his blade.
The overwhelming dirt and rubble in front of him were instantly split apart. A giant skeletal hand also appeared, slapping down towards the spot where the Zenin family head stood!
"Thump!!"
The earth for tens of meters around trembled. Tatsuro, standing within the 'Susanoo,' his eyes flashing rapidly, captured the figure of the Zenin family head.
That palm strike hadn't hit anyone; after all, its speed was too slow for them.
"Crack—"
The sound of the Susanoo shattering was heard. Tatsuro turned to look.
The sword in Naobito Zenin's hand had directly snapped. The Susanoo was only slightly cracked. Clearly, the quality of this sword and the defensive power of the Susanoo were not on the same level.
Speed + Mass = Kinetic Energy.
At this moment, he had the speed, but the mass couldn't keep up. Tatsuro said, "Looks like you should switch to a special grade cursed tool to cut my Susanoo; otherwise, the quality won't be up to par."
As he spoke, the damage on the Susanoo quickly repaired itself. Tatsuro, holding the samurai sword, swung out.
"Swoosh—"
Naobito Zenin instantly vanished from his spot. Tatsuro, without his Sage Mode, continued to stare at the flashing figure of the Zenin family head. At this moment, his heart couldn't calm down at all; he was completely unable to enter 'Sage Mode.' The flames of desire were rampaging within his body.
He... wanted to vent, to vent the cursed energy in his body!
As Tatsuro's short hair was submerged in crimson cursed energy, his eyes became incomparably scarlet. The Susanoo, which was originally just a skeleton, began to be filled by immense cursed energy, covering the bones like "muscles."
Its form also began to grow larger. Tengu armor rose from the ground, completely engulfing the Susanoo. A giant red Tengu appeared before the eyes of the Zenin family.
Naobito Zenin looked at Tatsuro, whom he had pushed too far, and swallowed hard. He seemed to somewhat regret giving him such a large dose, causing him to now enter a frenzied state.
Naoya Zenin, for his part, directly knelt. How the hell were they supposed to fight this?
"Hoo..."
Tatsuro ripped off the clothes on his body and said, "It's a little hot. But, I'll only let you see this once, my big baby. Although it's very big, if you bear with it a little, it'll be over soon!"
The god-like semi-perfect 'Susanoo' made the longbow in its hand dissipate and slowly drew the samurai sword tucked at its waist.
Naobito Zenin, knowing full well they couldn't fight within the Zenin family compound, ran towards the deep mountains. The Zenin family had a large estate and business; it was common for their ancestral home to be located in the suburbs with a mountain, as it was needed to nurture cursed spirits for the younger generation to use for training.
Tatsuro watched the fleeing Zenin family head and swung the ten-meter-long samurai sword in his hand.
"Thump!!"
Wherever the blade's edge touched, all was turned to dust. The ground was directly cut into a deep trench.
Seeing he couldn't reach the Zenin family head, the Susanoo sheathed its samurai sword, and a cursed energy bow reappeared in its left hand.
His right hand grasped at the empty air! A crimson long arrow appeared. He then nocked the arrow and drew the string, a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan locking onto the fleeing Zenin family head.
"Swoosh—!"
The arrow left the bowstring. The arrow, condensed from 300 cursed energy, shot towards Naobito Zenin like a flashing meteor, gone in an instant.
"What the hell!?"
Naobito Zenin turned his head, saw the arrow flying towards him, and immediately kicked his speed up a notch.
"Thump!!"
Dust flew, and trees were snapped in half.
Just when Naobito Zenin thought he was safe, two more arrows came at him. He cursed inwardly that this guy wasn't human and immediately fled further away.
Tatsuro, seeing he couldn't hit him, didn't plan to waste any more cursed energy playing with him. He retracted the longbow, took down the giant shield from his back, on which the Mangekyo of his right eye was engraved.
To be honest, this was only the second time he had activated the semi-perfect 'Susanoo.'
Tatsuro began to move slowly, then chased in the direction the Zenin family head had fled. The giant shield was held in front of him, crushing everything that blocked his path.
Walls crumbled! Trees were pulverized!
The birds in the forest were startled and fled in all directions. The chirping sounds, mixed with the sound of breaking trees, resounded throughout the entire jungle!
"Old thief, stop running, you bastard! Let me slash you a few times! I'll leave after I'm done!"
"Kid, are you even f---ing human?"
Naobito Zenin wasn't running at full speed; after all, he needed to make Tatsuro exhaust his cursed energy right now. However, his shout just now had indeed revealed his true feelings. This guy was simply not human. He was now even starting to doubt how that Special Grade cursed spirit had escaped from his hands.
This Tengu giant's defensive power was simply outrageous. For him, it was a dimension-reduction attack.
If he really wanted to fight him, he would at least need a 'Domain Expansion' or a special grade cursed tool in hand; otherwise, there was really no way to fight.
It was just that he hadn't brought a special grade cursed tool out with him. Otherwise, who would win or lose was still unknown.
Four minutes later.
Tatsuro stood on the ground, panting heavily. The original semi-perfect Susanoo was now just a skeleton. The evil fire within his body had also been mostly vented along with his cursed energy.
His mentality gradually returned to calm, his flushed face returned to its normal color, and the sage markings gradually appeared on his face.
Naobito Zenin had vanished without a trace, as if he had merged with the pitch-black jungle. But Tatsuro knew that the real battle was only just beginning.
What came before was just letting him indulge his desires for a bit. And it had to be said, it felt pretty good.
Now, how should he catch that "rat" hiding in the forest?
His Mangekyo Sharingan stared at his surroundings. Tatsuro expanded the sensory range of his 'Sage Mode' to its maximum, waiting for the "fish" to arrive.
