Chapter 367

367. Chapter 359: Who Says a Gundam Can't Transform?

After figuring out it was a misunderstanding, Uchiha Gin hurriedly returned to the dark little room, only to find the Black Prison Boss, who had been "seconded" by Tsukuyomi, lying on the ground with a peaceful face. On his face, which resembled a Vajra Tathagata, there was actually a trace of a "sexual happiness" smile. I don't know what kind of Midsummer Night's Dream he had.

"I'm really sorry, Master Banana-kun."

Raising his hand to send a healing chakra into the body of this famous physiotherapy master from the Land of Lightning, Uchiha Gin apologized very sincerely to Banana-kun, who was slowly waking up.

"Er... no matter. A truly free man is not constrained by small details."

After waking up, Banana-kun, with a smile symbolizing freedom on his face, waved his hand at Uchiha Gin.

He only remembered that he had inexplicably fainted, and then in a red space, he enjoyed all kinds of inhuman torture from various props.

"Truly worthy of being a master famous in the Ninja World. Such a heart, it really makes me, Gin, admire him endlessly..."

After exchanging massage techniques with this physiotherapy master, Uchiha Gin, who felt guilty in his heart, reached into the backpack behind him, wanting to give this true master some spiritual compensation.

"Master Banana-kun, I wonder where your next stop is?"

Uchiha Gin asked after pulling out a gold brick. He learned from his conversation with Banana-kun that the other party was leaving the Land of Hot Springs today.

"I have been touring for several months and am preparing to go home to retreat for a period of time to comprehend the new technique I just realized in my dream."

"Go home?"

"That's right, back to Hidden Cloud Village."

Banana-kun's home was in Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning. When he was young, he was a fairly talented Lightning Release ninja. Unfortunately, he suffered psychological trauma during a mission, so he gave up the path of a ninja and changed his profession to become a physiotherapy master.

"So that's how it is..."

Isn't this a coincidence~

A flash of golden light passed over the hand holding the gold brick behind Uchiha Gin's back, and a small "Candy" character was imprinted on the corner of the gold brick out of thin air.

"Master, this is my apology. Please don't refuse."

"How could I be so bold as to accept this~"

Then may I ask what you mean by stuffing the gold brick into your "spicy immortal root" (a euphemism)?

Bidding a tearful farewell to Banana-kun, who was exuding an aura of philosophy, Uchiha Gin looked up at the sky. At the two women's speed, they should be arriving soon.

In the sky hundreds of miles away from the Land of Hot Springs, two figures, one red and one blue, were colliding fiercely above the clouds. The resulting ripples tore several terrifying wounds in the thick clouds.

The red figure, slightly in the lead, kept throwing red magatama at the blue figure behind.

"Hmph! Can't outrun me, so you're using dirty tricks, right?"

Flexibly dodging the Yasaka Magatama one by one, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, in Tenseigan mode, had eyes full of mockery.

"This is an item race. If you're unconvinced, you use them too~"

Relying on almost shameless moves to take the temporary lead, Uchiha Hikari felt no shame at all for her behavior. In her view, no matter what means were used, as long as she could win, it was fine.

"Despicable."

Since you say so, I won't be polite!

Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji immediately narrowed her eyes, raised her hand to aim at the cherry-red Susanoo in front, and blue-green light balls poured out.

【Prayer Bead Light Cannon】

Pop pop pop pop

Countless chakra prayer beads, as dense as a barrage, smashed onto the back of Uchiha Hikari's Susanoo, making a pattering sound.

"Ugh..."

Although this kind of attack couldn't break the armor of the Complete Body Susanoo, the impact force that penetrated through made Uchiha Hikari in the cockpit feel quite uncomfortable.

"Damn it."

Uchiha Hikari, who was shaken to the point of being dizzy, looked back with scarlet eyes at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who had her lips curled upward. She manipulated Susanoo to pull out the huge firewood knife from its waist, and black flames instantly covered the blade.

【Dance of the Blade】

The huge firewood knife, wrapped in Amaterasu, swung toward the rear, and the cherry-red sword energy, carrying the never-extinguishing black flames, rushed toward Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was chasing relentlessly, at an extremely fast speed.

"Well done!"

Facing this world-destroying strike, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji didn't choose to dodge. Instead, there was more fighting spirit in her eyes. She raised her hands and condensed several chakra prayer beads. Following her thoughts, these prayer beads began to rotate rapidly, and the resulting silver light circle stirred up a tornado of astonishing volume.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion."

Rumble!

The Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion collided with the sword energy attached with Amaterasu, and the resulting shockwave blew away the layers of dark clouds in the sky, revealing the scorching sun hiding behind the clouds.

"Come again!"

After dispersing the sword energy, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji chased after it with the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and engaged in a white-knuckle fight in the air with Uchiha Hikari, which was called an item race.

At this time, someone would ask, didn't they say they wouldn't fight and only compare speed? How come the two were throwing magatama, shooting light cannons, and finally pulled out the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion?

Isn't it normal to use missiles and tornadoes in an item race?

Border of the Land of Hot Springs

Entering the final sprint stage, Uchiha Hikari couldn't care about throwing trash anymore, and instead focused all her attention on controlling the Gundam, accelerating toward the boundary marker of the Land of Hot Springs.

And Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was following closely behind her, also dissipated the cumbersome Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in her hand. The blue-green chakra cloak, under her strenuous urging, became a bit thicker, and her speed became faster. In the blink of an eye, she surpassed the Susanoo.

"How could I lose to you!"

The moment Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji overtook Uchiha Hikari, she glanced at this loser with a very contemptuous look.

"Xiao An, help me!"

Sensing the aura of failure, Uchiha Hikari knew that relying solely on her own strength, she might really lose to this white-eyed stinky woman. Unwilling to fail, she shouted at the other person sleeping in her sea of consciousness.

"Hehehe... want me to help you? You should know what a painful price you have to pay, right?"

Xiao An, lurking in the darkness, laughed gloomily.

Ever since the light and dark were born together, the chakra in Uchiha Hikari's body had been divided into two, with light and dark each controlling half of the body's chakra. So usually, they could only exert half of their own strength.

Even if it was only this half, it was already an existence that ordinary people couldn't match.

But against Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, Uchiha Hikari's half of the chakra was not enough.

"Ugh... I know, I'll let you go first next time!"

Uchiha Hikari, with a face full of struggle, only took less than a second to agree to Xiao An's request.

"Hehehe... contract established. Take this power!"

Xiao An smiled with satisfaction. As long as she could personally punish that curly-haired guy, what did it matter if she exerted some effort? After saying that, she raised her hand and sent out a majestic chakra.

"Susanoo, activate super transformation form!"

Feeling the source power pouring into her body, the patterns in Uchiha Hikari's eyes began to rotate rapidly, and the cherry-red Susanoo, under the stimulation of this power, began to undergo an unimaginable metamorphosis.

"Hehehe~ winning streaks are like drinking water."

The boundary marker of the Land of Hot Springs had already entered her line of sight. Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji raised her eyebrows triumphantly, preparing to turn her head and mock the loser, but she didn't expect to see a scene that left her dumbfounded.

Clack clack clack!

She saw the Susanoo, which was flying with wings spread, actually beginning to transform under the entanglement of cherry-red light particles.

The wings behind Susanoo turned into open wings, its legs retracted into its body, turning into two pitch-black tail nozzles, its arms stretched forward against its head, turning into the canards of a fighter jet. The entire body became extremely streamlined and full of speed.

【Susanoo · J20 Form】

"What the hell is this?"

Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who had never seen such an operation, forgot for a moment that the competition was still ongoing. Looking at the cherry-red Susanoo that had changed from a humanoid Gundam to a plane shape, she almost couldn't stand steady and fell from the sky.

"Hehehe~"

Uchiha Hikari, sitting in the cockpit, could clearly feel that her current speed far exceeded before. Looking at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was looking back in astonishment in front, she snorted a few times and pressed the acceleration button.

The tail of the J20-form Susanoo instantly sprayed dazzling flames, and several pairs of Mach rings were clearly visible.

Whoosh~

Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji only felt a red light flash before her eyes. Uchiha Hikari, who had just been hovering behind her, had disappeared without a trace, and even her perception couldn't detect her existence.

Turning her head again, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji saw Uchiha Hikari gracefully getting off the plane behind the boundary marker of the Land of Hot Springs.

"It's understandable not to be able to beat the J20, no need to be ashamed~"

Uchiha Hikari, in a great mood, looked at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was slowly landing. She deliberately waited until the other party arrived before slowly dissipating the cherry-red fighter jet parked behind her.

"I lost this time."

Looking slightly powerlessly at the dissipating cherry-red fighter jet, the other party's elusive speed was indeed much stronger than her own. Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji was not the kind of person to act shamelessly. Her upbringing as the Otsutsuki clan leader made her accept defeat calmly.

"Yay~ I won! Gin, hurry up and prepare the prize?"

After winning, Uchiha Hikari raised her hands high. But when she turned her head, she found that the space behind her was empty, and Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji opposite her also widened her eyes, as if she had remembered something.

"GIN!!!"

Both women had been a bit carried away during the competition, their minds full of the mosaic scenes after getting the prize, subconsciously forgetting Uchiha Gin on the side.

"What to do? What to do!"

Now they were separated from Uchiha Gin by the entire Land of Fire. At the other party's speed, it was feared that it would take nearly a day to arrive.

"Isn't your... J20 very fast? Go pick him up?"

Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji frowned and suggested.

"Borrow it again, the price will double~"

"Cough, cough, cough... this move of mine is a forbidden technique, the price is terrifying, it cannot be used easily."

Xiao An's teasing voice rang in her mind. Uchiha Hikari, who was just about to communicate, instantly had her face turn a bit ugly, and then she shook her head and explained.

"Lord Hikari, meow~"

Just as Uchiha Hikari and Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji were discussing returning to pick someone up, a raccoon cat carrying a small bag drilled out of the woods.

"Er... why are you here?"

Uchiha Hikari looked suspiciously at the ninja cat in front of her. These cats that could speak human language were the ninja cat clan that was on good terms with the Uchiha clan and were responsible for providing them with intelligence.

"It's a message from Lord Gin passed to the Empty Realm, meow~"

The raccoon cat licked the meat pad on its foot, shook a scroll out of the small bag it carried on its back, and pushed it in front of Uchiha Hikari.

"Gin's message?"

Picking up the scroll with some dumbfoundedness, Uchiha Hikari didn't doubt it and unfolded it directly.

【To Hikari:

You two are really too much, actually leaving me behind alone. But it's just right; while I'm away, you two should cultivate your relationship. Otsutsuki Yueji is actually a kind girl, but she has been locked up for many years, so her personality inevitably has some flaws. You should understand each other and stop fighting as soon as you meet.

I'll just rush over myself. You don't need to come find me. Enjoy the hot spring well~

Uchiha Gin left】

"What did he write?"

Seeing Uchiha Hikari holding the scroll and remaining silent, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji leaned over curiously. As a result, seeing Uchiha Gin's evaluation of herself, a blush flashed across her fair face.

A kind girl... huh?

Recalling her actions after using the sleeping black tea, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji felt ashamed.

He thinks of me like this, and I actually did that kind of thing. I really deserve to die!

"Sigh... how long were you locked up?"

After a long while, Uchiha Hikari silently closed the scroll and looked at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who had an inexplicable look of shame, and sighed lightly.

"I have been up there since I was born."

Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was immersed in shame, frowned upon hearing this inexplicable question, thinking the other party was asking how long she had been locked up on the moon.

"I know. Let's go, we'll wait for him while soaking in the hot spring."

So this white-eyed woman had also been imprisoned for many years.

Uchiha Hikari's sharp eyes became a bit softer. Tucking the scroll into her bosom, she turned and waved at the bewildered Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji.

Uchiha Gin's original meaning was that Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji had been closed off on the moon for too long. He didn't expect that Uchiha Hikari would misunderstand, thinking that the other party had experienced a long period of imprisonment like herself.

"Coming."

Hearing the word "hot spring," Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji's eyes lit up. Although Uchiha Hikari's suddenly changed attitude made her a bit confused, it didn't affect her enjoyment of the legendary hot spring.

"Welcome~"

The white-haired old woman raised her head and greeted the two beautiful figures entering the door.

"Boss, two people."

Uchiha Hikari, leading Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, followed her memory and, holding the attitude of giving it a try, found the hot spring street she had visited many years ago. She didn't expect that the hot spring shop she had patronized back then was still in business.

"What set meal do you need?"

"An ordinary hot spring set meal will do."

Looking at the white-haired old woman in front of her, Uchiha Hikari, who refused the inexplicable set meals on the wall, had a flash of melancholy in her black eyes.

The theory of lifespan was embodied at this moment.

"It's a pity that the two of you came a step late. Otherwise, you could have experienced Master Banana-kun's unique physiotherapy technique."

Handing the hand tag and brand-new yukatas to Uchiha Hikari and the other, the old woman shook her head with regret. After her gray-white eyes swept over the faces of the two women, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"This guest looks a bit familiar. Is this not your first time here?"

"Mother, did you remember wrong again?"

At this time, the current boss, who had just sent away Banana-kun, lifted the curtain of the shop door and walked in. Hearing her mother's words, she examined Uchiha Hikari and the other, and then said helplessly to the old woman.

"I am here for the second time. It was very comfortable last time."

Seeing that the woman who appeared questioned the old woman, Uchiha Hikari nodded faintly, then pulled Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was studying the yukata, and walked into the curtain marked "Women."

"Eh? Such beautiful young girls, I would definitely have an impression, right?"

Looking at Uchiha Hikari's disappearing back, the boss tilted her head and recalled for a long time, but still couldn't find the relevant memory.

"Perhaps, it was a very long time ago..." (End of chapter)
