Chapter 410

"I woke up too fast; as soon as I woke up, I saw little Mebius fighting two."

Uchiha Gin pinched his own thigh, his dull, dead-fish eyes widening.

"Rumble!"

In the canyon, the red-and-silver giant was confronting two ferocious mechanical beasts. As his massive body moved slightly, the fragile earth immediately emitted a deafening roar.

"Xia!"

Senju Tobirama, striking a defensive pose, emitted an unintelligible sound from his mouth, his egg-shaped eyes scanning left and right, constantly monitoring the movements of the Gin-Kin brothers.

"Roar!"

The Gin-Kin brothers looked at each other, tacitly choosing not to act rashly.

Under the premise of not understanding the power of this red giant before them, they chose to remain still, using stillness to handle all changes.

Is this the power after transformation?

Taking advantage of the gap where the two brothers were wary, Senju Tobirama felt the terrifying power after transformation. After a brief shock, he began to analyze the operational core of this transformation system.

"It's similar to the technology of chakra compression and then materialization..."

A faint light swirled in Senju Tobirama's eyes; he seemed to have some guesses about the transformation system.

But...

Looking at how he had also turned into intangible chakra particles, Senju Tobirama completely gave up on thinking.

This didn't belong to his research specialty; he would find some non-professional to ask when he got back.

"Jing, let your master borrow this ninja tool for a moment. I'll return it to you when I'm done."

Uchiha Gin, who was looking forward to a super-dimensional brawl, felt his nose itch. After a fierce sneeze, he scratched his head thoughtfully.

"It's already been a minute, why haven't they started yet?"

His gaze fell on the three people who were as motionless as mountains. Uchiha Gin frowned slightly; the universal transformation bracelet had a time limit—three minutes, not a second more, not a second less.

"They really would rather do nothing than make a mistake."

Within these precious three minutes, if Senju Tobirama didn't do something, he could only order a song of "Cool" for the white-haired guy and wish him a safe journey.

"Feels a bit bad."

Senju Tobirama, confronting the Gin-Kin brothers, suddenly discovered a problem: the light particles floating around his body were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He had thought it was an illusion, but the emptiness lingering in his heart didn't feel fake. Senju Tobirama's heart sank; he knew he couldn't drag this out any longer.

Xia!

Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama no longer cowered. He swung his arm and threw several light darts at the relatively weaker Silver Horn.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!"

"Roar! Ah~ Meow!"

Silver Horn, caught off guard and hit in the face by the light darts, let out a painful cry. Dazzling fire immediately erupted from his body, and acrid black smoke rose in wisps.

"He learned fast; he's worthy of being an old fox."

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. Senju Tobirama was indeed one of the top geniuses in Konoha, to be able to comprehend Ultraman's fighting style on his own so quickly.

"Roar!"

How could Jin Jiao watch his brother being bullied? He immediately manipulated the mechanical Eight-Tails to charge toward Senju Tobirama, the electric drill bull horns on his head emitting a piercing roar.

Xia!

Glancing at the mechanical Eight-Tails attacking from behind, Senju Tobirama immediately gave up on beating the cat in the water, leaped high into the air,

and after rolling a few times in the air, using the gravity of his descent, he delivered a swallow-style flying kick toward the wide-open back of the mechanical Eight-Tails.

"Boom!"

Jin Jiao felt a pain in his back; this kick from the sky almost knocked his ink out. Enduring the pain, he manipulated the mechanical tentacles to spread upward, grabbing Senju Tobirama's ankle.

"Hmph! Got you."

The mechanical tentacles climbed up his leg very nimbly. Seeing they were about to invade the triangle area, Senju Tobirama's hair instantly stood on end, his brain spinning rapidly to find a way to break the situation.

Looking at his empty hands, Senju Tobirama thought fiercely:

If I had a blade in hand right now, I would definitely turn this hateful guy into a steak and octopus ball set meal.

As a result, as soon as this thought arose, Senju Tobirama felt a burst of heat in his arm.

"Swish!"

Before he could react, a crimson light sword suddenly extended out. The blade emitted waves of sharpness; it was clearly a peerless sword capable of cutting gold and jade.

With no time to think, Senju Tobirama raised the light sword on his arm and performed his signature swordsmanship.

Following several blinding flashes of light, the ferocious mechanical tentacles were severed inch by inch, falling to the ground and emitting buzzing cries of sorrow.

"Ah!"

Jin Jiao, who shared senses with the Eight-Tails, couldn't help but cry out in pain. The existence of these tentacles was equivalent to his five limbs.

Every one severed was a pain of amputation, let alone eight at once. This kind of phantom limb pain was hard for ordinary people to describe.

After landing gracefully, Senju Tobirama shook off the viscous ink stained on the light sword, the tip pointing directly at the Gin-Kin brothers, one covering his face and the other his butt.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Senju Tobirama was not the type to drag things out. As long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely go for it. So, he brandished the light sword in his hand, approaching the two at high speed, hand falling with the blade, intending to cut off their cat heads and bull skulls.

"Clang!"

But things went contrary to his wishes. Jin Jiao endured the severe pain and raised his bull horns, the rapidly rotating electric drill blocking the descending light sword.

"Swish!"

Seeing his light sword about to repeat the same mistake as Mirror's, Senju Tobirama, with quick eyes and fast hands, immediately withdrew his hand, retreated a few steps to open the distance, and looked for the next attack opportunity.

"Silver Horn, are you feeling better?"

Controlling the Tailed Beast chakra to begin restoring the tentacles, Jin Jiao asked about his brother's condition with concern.

"Damn white-haired guy, my eyes!"

Silver Horn stood up cursing. The parts of his face emitting black smoke had mostly recovered, leaving only a few broken whiskers still growing slowly.

"Don't underestimate him; he's more troublesome than the blue one from before."

Jin Jiao warned in a deep voice. Silver Horn didn't refute, nodding in deep agreement.

"Attack together!"

The brothers, having regrouped, decided to join forces to face the enemy. Silver Horn took the lead, controlling the mechanical Two-Tails to leap high, spraying several black Tailed Beast Bombs at Senju Tobirama, who was holding his sword in the air.

Looking at the incoming light bombs, Senju Tobirama calmly flicked his hand to shoot several light darts. The two collided and exploded in the air, and the smoke obscuring their vision instantly filled the entire battlefield.

"Whoosh~"

Senju Tobirama, shrouded in smoke, held his sword in front of his chest, maintaining 120% vigilance. However, a tentacle bypassed his vision, crawled over from a tricky angle, and suddenly wrapped around his ankle.

Xia!

Senju Tobirama's internal alarm bells rang loudly. He immediately raised the light sword in his hand, intending to make Jin Jiao taste the pain of amputation again.

But the moment he raised his sword, a silver figure pounced from behind him, and the tentacles under his feet exerted force simultaneously. The red giant's body ultimately fell uncontrollably.

"Boom~"

"Damn it!"

Senju Tobirama, knocked down by the tacit cooperation of the Gin-Kin brothers, didn't dare to be the least bit slack. The moment he hit the ground, he turned, landing on his back first.

Before he could catch his breath, what met his eyes was the bloody mouth of the mechanical Two-Tails, its teeth made of refined steel flashing with cold light.

At the critical moment, Senju Tobirama turned his head, causing the mechanical Two-Tails' bloody mouth to miss. Silver Horn naturally wouldn't let it go; if he couldn't bite the head, he could bite other places.

"Puchi!"

He immediately took a bite at Senju Tobirama's shoulder. With teeth entering the body, even an iron-willed man couldn't help but scream. Senju Tobirama was no exception.

"Urgh!"

After a muffled groan, he endured the pain and swung the light sword in his hand. Silver Horn had no choice but to open his mouth and jump backward. Jin Jiao also sensibly let go of the ankle and disappeared into the smoke.

"Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~"

Holding his shoulder, Senju Tobirama stood up, turned his head to look at the chakra light particles overflowing from the wound, and his heart sank instantly.

Feeling that he didn't have much time left, Senju Tobirama prepared to end the battle quickly. He saw him first swing the light sword in his hand rapidly in a spiral shape.

A hurricane rose on the spot, instantly blowing away the surrounding dust and smoke, and simultaneously exposing the positions of the Gin-Kin brothers.

"Whoosh~"

Senju Tobirama raised his sword and charged again. The Gin-Kin brothers knew they couldn't avoid a close-quarters battle, so they controlled the mechanical Tailed Beasts to step forward to meet the enemy. The collision of the light sword and the machinery sparked countless fires in the dark night, like fireworks celebrating.

The red giant moved flexibly between the two mechanical beasts. Every time the light sword in his hand swung, countless fragments flew out. The scene was intense.

"Boom!"

The silver wild tiger fell to the ground, its scarred body covered in large and small knife wounds. Silver Horn's eyes were spitting fire, but more than that, it was helplessness. Senju Tobirama's swordsmanship was indeed brilliant; the two brothers couldn't take him down for a while.

"Big brother, let's use that!"

Helpless, Silver Horn suggested. Jin Jiao, who was entangled with Senju Tobirama, heard this and immediately retreated to open the distance, turned his head to look at his solemn brother, and after thinking for a moment, nodded gently.

What are they trying to do?

Senju Tobirama looked at the two brothers who were acting mysterious, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart. Feeling the dwindling chakra light particles in his body, he knew he couldn't drag this out.

Waving his hand to dissipate the light sword, Senju Tobirama mobilized the few remaining chakra light particles in his body and gathered them on his arms.

And the Gin-Kin brothers not far away also reached a consensus. The two steel beasts stood in a row, simultaneously opening their mouths, and black, unstable energy condensed within them.

When the energy was compressed to the limit, the Gin-Kin brothers completed the reading first. The black energy in their mouths merged into one, condensing a huge black Tailed Beast Bomb in front of them, with visible, irritable energy floating on the surface.

"Super Tailed Beast Bomb!"

"Hehehe, finally caught you, right!"

Walking slowly to the disheveled Senju Tobirama, Kinkaku leaned down, patted his dust-covered face with his hand, and laughed teasingly.

"Cough, cough... you..."

"What did you say? I can't hear you~"

Hearing Senju Tobirama's voice, which was as low as a mosquito's, Kinkaku frowned and leaned his ear over, wanting to hear what kind of begging words the opponent would say in this situation.

"Your card smells really good~"

Senju Tobirama's voice changed from weak to full of vigor, and the expression on his face also became very intriguing.

"Puff~"

Kinkaku was stunned upon hearing this. Just as he was about to continue questioning, the Senju Tobirama in front of him also turned into a puff of white smoke.

Still a clone!

Seeing this scene, Kinkaku was shocked. Before he could recover from the shock, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and a large hand burst out of the soil, grabbing straight toward his crotch.

Kinkaku, terrified, hurriedly covered his crotch with both hands, but that nimble large hand seemed to have anticipated it, bypassed the crotch, and grabbed toward the driver on his waist.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seeing this, Kinkaku didn't care about his crotch anymore and turned to press his hand on his waist to prevent the driver from being snatched. As a result, the opponent wasn't aiming for that; he swept across the card slot on his waist and quickly burrowed back into the soil.

"You guy, what did you take?"

Kinkaku, who had stood up, looked at his intact crotch and the still-present driver, his eyebrows instantly furrowing high.

"Nothing, I'm just borrowing your cards with a scientific research attitude."

Not far away, a Bai Mao burst out of the soil, shook the mud off his hair, and Senju Tobirama, who had performed the Headhunter Jutsu, raised a row of silver-glittering cards in his hand, the expression on his face indescribably triumphant.

"Nani?"

Kinkaku hurriedly looked down to check, only then discovering that more than half of the cards in the card slot of his driver were missing, making him so angry his face almost twisted.

"Despicable thief!"

"I took it fair and square, how is it stealing?"

Senju Tobirama curled his lips in disdain, his gaze sweeping over the row of cards in his hand, each card radiating a terrifying aura.

This should be enough now, right?

"Those cards are useless to you, return them to me quickly!"

Kinkaku, driven to desperation, shouted through gritted teeth. Senju Tobirama remained unmoved. Under the opponent's puzzled gaze, he slowly pulled out a uniquely shaped bracelet from his bosom.

"Click~"

After fastening the bracelet on his wrist, Senju Tobirama looked at the cards in his hand thoughtfully. Being steady, he pulled out an unknown card with a bull head printed on it.

"That is... what do you want to do!?"

Seeing Senju Tobirama pull out the finishing move card he had just used, Kinkaku was so scared his voice trembled. He didn't know if the opponent would turn into a towering giant like that curly-haired brat after using his card.

"Prepare to die!"

With a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth, Senju Tobirama inserted the card in his hand into the bracelet.

"Don't!"

Accompanied by a flash of purple light, Senju Tobirama, waiting for the transformation, saw his expression instantly stiffen. He stared blankly at the card in his hand as it gradually dissipated, blinking his eyes in confusion.

"Insufficient permissions."

An emotionless electronic voice rang out. The expressions of everyone present froze in unison. The worry on the Jin-Yin brothers' faces was swept away, replaced by teasing looks at Senju Tobirama, who had failed to transform.

"Tsk~ The starting point was right, but you don't even have authorization, and you still want to transform?"

Uchiha Gin, on the peak of the canyon, shook his head as if sighing. He first affirmed Senju Tobirama's clever behavior but expressed deep regret that he hadn't read the manual beforehand.

The reason Uchiha Jing was able to use the Susanoo card to transform was entirely because the card had been authorized by its owner, Uchiha Madara, while the cards in Senju Tobirama's hand were all converted by Kinkaku and had no authorization at all.

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

Senju Tobirama, refusing to believe it, immediately pulled out another card, but the result was still the same. After being told that permissions were insufficient, the card in his hand disappeared.

"It's back, it's good that it's back~"

On the other side, looking at the cards gradually filling up in the card slot on his waist, Kinkaku's hanging heart finally dropped, and the expression on his face also relaxed a lot.

"Insufficient permissions."

Accompanied by the familiar voice ringing out, Senju Tobirama lowered his head, pinning his hope on the last card in his hand.

On this card, there was only a beast-shaped black shadow, blurry, but faintly, one could see several tails fluttering behind it.

"Hey~ don't struggle in vain anymore. Stolen power, without the owner's consent, how could it let you use it?"

Kinkaku, who had roughly understood the characteristics of the cards, shouted in a mocking tone.

"Phew."

Not influenced by Kinkaku's words, Senju Tobirama looked at the card in his hand that was radiating an ominous aura, gritted his teeth, and poked it fiercely toward the bracelet.

"Ding~"

This time, that "Insufficient permissions" voice didn't ring out in his ear again. Senju Tobirama, who had already shown a look of despair, raised his head in surprise. What met his eyes was a ball of evil aura radiating a blood-red light that devoured people.

"Boom!"

Before Senju Tobirama could react, his eyes suddenly went black. When he opened them again, he was standing in an extremely dark space. Feeling the ominous aura around him, his heart sank.

Just at this moment, two scarlet beast pupils suddenly lit up in front of Senju Tobirama. The tyrannical look in the eyes was enough to make even him, a veteran of a hundred battles, feel a chill.

"Hu-human, you... you want... want my power... power?"

A sharp voice sounded in the darkness, intermittent, like a baby learning to speak.

"Who are you?"

He always felt this voice sounded familiar, but the situation was urgent, so Senju Tobirama could only put aside the doubts in his heart and ask in a deep voice.

"Hu-human, you... you want... want my power... power?"

The opponent didn't seem very smart. Facing Senju Tobirama's counter-question, he only repeated the previous words.

"I want it!"

There was no other way. This guy in front of him, whose true body was unknown, was his last straw. Senju Tobirama could only nod.

"Wa-want power, then show your sin... sincerity."

This time, he finally changed the sentence, but the content made Senju Tobirama's eyebrows furrow straight. Borrowing this guy's power actually required a price. He didn't want to play anymore. Could he log off?

"What do you want?"

After thinking it over, Senju Tobirama still gritted his teeth and asked. If he went out like this now, Kinkaku definitely wouldn't let him go. When he was caught then, there would definitely be no shortage of extreme humiliation.

"Hehehe, let me see your resolve."

The black shadow laughed strangely a few times, turned into a scarlet stream of light, and burrowed into Senju Tobirama's body. Under the control of this energy, he felt his head splitting with pain, and memories of the past began to emerge.

And they were all memories of fighting wits and courage with the Uchiha clan, mixed with scenes of him and Uchiha Madara's brothers' great battle. The scene of him stealing Uchiha Madara's butt was even deliberately looped several times.

"Hehehe, I have received your resolve. You can use this power as you please!"

After a while, Senju Tobirama's headache gradually weakened, and that voice sounded again. It didn't have the previous teasing, but instead had a bit more of something that made him extremely surprised—

Sympathy?

In a flash, Senju Tobirama opened his eyes. He had spent so long in the unknown space, but in reality, it was only an instant. The Jin-Yin brothers' teasing expressions were still hanging on their faces.

"This is..."

Senju Tobirama looked at the card in his hand and found that the blurry pattern from just now had become extremely clear at this moment. On this card, a large fox with bared fangs and brandished claws was printed.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes, it was actually 80% similar to Uchiha Madara's Tailed Beast card, just with a few fewer tails.

Senju Tobirama, feeling something, stuck this card onto the bracelet again. Accompanied by a dark red light, the card in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light and merged into the bracelet.

"No way? He actually bumped into it?"

Uchiha Gin, seeing this scene, was so surprised his mouth almost couldn't close. Among the pile of cards Senju Tobirama stole, there was actually the Little Nine-Tails card he had rubbed back then.

But that card belonged to an equipment card; it couldn't be used without his authorization, right?

Unless that card upgraded into a Tailed Beast card, but that shouldn't be either, right? The Big Nine-Tails hadn't kicked the bucket yet?

"Hehehe~"

On the other side, Uchiha Madara, who was speeding on the road back to the village, suddenly stopped, frowned, and burrowed into his consciousness space, looking at the Nine-Tails, who was inexplicably smug, and asked coldly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You don't let me talk, and now you don't even let me laugh?"

The Nine-Tails lowered his head, looked at Uchiha Madara, who was radiating an unkind aura in front of him, restrained the smugness in his heart, and whispered.

"Not only can you not laugh, but you're also not allowed to fart!"

For this beast that had backstabbed him, Uchiha Madara wouldn't have any good expressions.

If it were in the past, for a traitor, he would definitely impose a severe punishment. Now that he was kind-hearted, he would just lock him up for ten or eight years first.

"Hmph~"

The Nine-Tails snorted coldly in his heart, lowered his head, and said no more. Seeing this, Uchiha Madara nodded with satisfaction.

"Seal my main account, and I'll go play on a side account~"

Curling his lips, the Nine-Tails closed his eyes, but his consciousness followed the veins of the source Qi and climbed over the wall to leave.

"It's just that the signal is a bit poor."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can you use that card?"

Seeing Senju Tobirama use the Little Nine-Tails card, the Jin-Yin brothers' faces were full of disbelief.

Feeling the scorching power ignite in the bracelet, Senju Tobirama's belief suddenly sublimated, and his scarlet eyes flickered with inexplicable brilliance.

"Turning the impossible into the possible, this is..."

Senju Tobirama held the bracelet in front of him. As he spoke, the bracelet, which was erupting with red flames, actually began to change its shape, turning from a blue sapphire cone into a red and gold intertwined appearance, with a gemstone in the middle as well.

"... Ultraman!"

Pressing his other hand onto the red and gold bracelet, Senju Tobirama's eyes revealed determination. His palm swept across fiercely, and particles with golden light in the red scattered out.

Slightly bending his body, he then fiercely raised the arm with the bracelet high. Senju Tobirama's body instantly turned into a stream of light, merging into the light particles, but the impassioned voice echoed in the canyon.

"Mebius!" (End of chapter)

"Audacious spy, surrender immediately! The Village Secretary Lord clearly returned last night!" (End of chapter)
