"Shino, try using your bug." Mizuki really had no way to deal with the energy shield outside the body that was similar to the tailed beast cloak. It would definitely not work if he continued to maintain the stalemate, so he had to seek external force.
Hearing Mizuki's words, Aburame Shino was stunned and asked in confusion: "Try? Try what?"
"Use your parasitic bugs and their ability to devour chakra to help me suppress it..." Shuimu pointed to the red energy coat outside his body, "I can't even control this kind of thing right now. I need you to help suppress it."
After hearing what Mizuki said, Aburame Shino suddenly realized. No wonder Mizuki asked a lot of questions about insect manipulators and parasites.
"I see."
"Then let's get started quickly, lest anything unexpected happen again."
The less things you have no control over, the better, especially when it comes to your body.
Then, Aburame Shino raised her hands, and a group of parasitic insects formed a large black cloud, which floated towards Mizuki and wrapped Mizuki in it in an instant.
Mizuki, who was expecting something, felt his eyes go dark, and the parasites completely blocked his sight. However, with the red light and the mutation of Mizuki's eyes, he could barely see the innermost layer of parasites. They had just started to eat the energy shield before they were killed by the overbearing natural energy and Shukaku's chakra. Fortunately, the number of parasites was huge, and under their continuous charge, Mizuki slowly saw a glimmer of hope.
"Shino, do you have any more suitable insects for this situation?" Mizuki asked anxiously when he saw that the speed was a bit slow. "A parasitic insect with stronger devouring ability and stronger survival ability?"
"Yosei-no-Mushi? I didn't expect Captain Mizuki to know so many of the Aburame clan's secret insect manipulation techniques." Aburame Shino was a little surprised at Mizuki's rich information. The Aburame clan doesn't use the very unique insect manipulation technique of Yoshii-no-Mushi, and the outside world knows very little about it. Even some insect manipulators of the Aburame clan don't know it very clearly.
"As a ninja, as long as you want to know, it's not difficult to figure out these things that are not deliberately concealed."
Mizuki said absentmindedly.
"I see." Aburame Shino nodded. Anyway, it was not a very important matter, and she did not want to delve into it. "The parasite is not easy to cultivate. For the time being, I do not have the strength to control such a powerful insect."
"Oh." Mizuki shook his head in disappointment. This situation was expected. The Parasite is too targeted. The damage to large energy aggregates is too great. It is clearly designed to deal with enemies such as tailed beasts and giant summoned beasts. It can even cause huge damage to the Ten-Tails, which shows how terrifying its power is. The ability to devour the chakra of the tailed beasts is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary parasites. However, it is not very useful to use this thing to deal with ordinary ninjas. It is natural that the Aburame clan puts it at the end of the order of learning. You can't expect the weak clan members to charge against the tailed beasts. That's too unrealistic.
Without the parasitic bug, Shuimu can only hope that the huge number of bad parasitic bugs will work harder.
…
On the other side, after Maki settled Gaara down, Kankuro and Temari, as his older brother and sister, hurried over to take care of him.
"How are you feeling, Gaara?"
"My whole body feels like it's falling apart. I can't use any strength. Also, my head hurts terribly, as if there's a hole in the top of my head. I can't concentrate at all..."
"Are you feeling nothing else?" Anxious Temari handed me the kettle and let Gaara drink a few sips of water. The clear tea entered his body, and the cool feeling temporarily restored Gaara's spirit.
"It's okay, but I can't refine my chakra at all, so I have no fighting power."
"Don't worry, the battle is almost over." Seeing that Gaara was fine, Maki was relieved.
Gaara calmed down and looked at Temari, Kankuro and teacher Maki who were around him, then he looked around.
"Where's the Yura jonin? Why can't I see him?"
"Unfortunately..." Maki shook his head and said, "We suffered a great loss this time."
Although everyone was very surprised by Yura's unexpected death, at least they did not suspect Yura was a traitor. Maki, who knew the inside story, also concealed the truth for the time being. It was better to wait until we returned to deal with such important matters. Moreover, the person was already dead, and as a companion for many years, it was better not to make some things public for the time being.
"I see." Gaara lowered his head, "In the end, it was still a heavy loss? Did I do something bad after losing control?"
"How could that be?" Maki said comfortingly, "Without you, we would still be trapped in the barrier, and you helped a lot later."
Although the process was slightly deviated, Maki's words were basically correct.
"Really? That's good." Gaara, who was a little depressed, relaxed his frown a little.
"Don't think too much. Rest now. There shouldn't be any danger." Maki turned to Temari and Kankuro and said, "You two take care of Gaara and the others. I'll go see what's going on in other villages."
After all, they were allies fighting side by side, and the rudeness just now needed to ease the tense relationship.
What made Maki most happy was the recent changes in Gaara. He was obviously less gloomy and more positive. His relationship with Temari, Kankuro and others was also gradually improving.
"At least there is still a glimmer of hope for us. As long as we have Gaara, there is still hope for a comeback."
With Gaara's talent and his status as the One-Tail Shukaku Jinchuriki, as long as he is properly trained, he will sooner or later become the pillar supporting the Sand Village. Maki is particularly pleased with the change in his character and spirit.
…
Long before leaving the village, Mizuki had always had doubts about the Sage Mode he had invented, which seemed to work in principle, but the way it was implemented was not. He had planned to use the insect-eating chakra property of Shino Aburame to protect himself from accidental loss of control. The reality was just as Mizuki had expected. There were too many hidden dangers in his body. One link went wrong, causing the natural energy to go out of control. The surging natural energy immediately ignited the gunpowder barrel in Mizuki's body. The burst of power made Mizuki experience what it felt like to be suppressed by absolute power, but it also put Mizuki on the verge of playing with fire and getting burned.
Fortunately, the effect of the parasitic insects seemed to be good. After a thick layer of dead parasitic insect corpses accumulated on the ground near Shuimu, the risk of Shuimu's outbreak again was finally effectively curbed.
"Shino, how do you feel? Do you want to take a break?" The hidden danger is still there, but at least it is not as urgent as before. There is still time to take a breath.
"It's okay, I can still hold on..."
Summoning a large number of parasitic insects has consumed a lot of chakra in the body. Killing so many insects is quite exhausting for Shino Aburame in her condition.
The dead bugs have accounted for a large part of the parasitic bugs that Shino Aburame feeds and controls on a daily basis. When it was about to be insufficient, Shino Aburame had no choice but to consume a large amount of chakra again and use the secret technique - insect cocoon, but in a short time, a large number of parasitic bugs were produced in a very consuming way, and they were once again controlled by Shino Aburame to join the army of gnawing natural energy and tailed beast chakra.
With Shino Aburame almost disregarding the consumption, she finally managed to speed up a lot.
As Shuimu was anxiously waiting, finally, the energy outside the body became so scarce that it could no longer maintain its physical state. The red energy visible to the naked eye began to disintegrate, then turned into small pieces, and finally disappeared into the air.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Aburame Shino, who was already at the end of her strength, relaxed and could no longer hold on. The swarm of insects surrounding Mizuki began to dissipate, and Aburame Shino herself was almost exhausted and collapsed to the ground due to the huge consumption. Fortunately, Yamashiro Aoba was quick to help Aburame Shino, who was almost unable to stand.
Seeing that the biggest trouble was finally solved, Shuimu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shino, thank you for your hard work. You should take a good rest first."
"Yeah." Aburame Shino, who was passionate but not good at expressing herself, nodded.
"Shui Mu, has your problem been solved?" Seeing that the strange energy shield around Shui Mu had disappeared, Shan Cheng Qingye couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet. I can only say that the most dangerous one has been temporarily resolved." Shuimu shook his head and said.
"What should we do? Do you still need our help?"
Yamashiro Aoba looked at Aburame Shino who was so tired that she could hardly move and said, "It's a pity that I don't know any secret techniques to control chakra, nor do I know any medical ninjutsu. I can't be of much use."
"How come? I might really need your help later."
Although it is true as Yamashiro Aoba said, those troublesome things above are not what Yamashiro Aoba is good at. However, he also has his own very distinctive characteristics.
"Okay, tell me if you need anything. What should we do next?"
"You guys take a rest first, I'll take a look first." Said Mizuki, turned to Hyuga Neji and said, "Especially you, reply as soon as possible."
"I understand." Although he didn't understand what Mizuki wanted him to do, Hyuga Neji still nodded cautiously.
Yamashiro Aoba and the two Genin began to rest, but Mizuki was struggling with the complicated and difficult-to-deal-with situation in his body.
"This is such a headache. I will never add any strange things to my body again."
Everything in the ninja world, in the final analysis, is always rooted in chakra and natural energy. Therefore, it can be inferred that most things are actually related to each other. Especially the Sage Mode and the Sage Transformation of the Curse Seal that Mizuki worked on, they are actually things of the same origin. The only difference is that the Curse Seal is a semi-finished product, while the one on Mizuki is a semi-finished test product, which has also been mutated by Mizuki's tossing. Needless to say, the Sage Mode, its core Sage Chakra, can be directly regarded as the finished product of the Curse Seal. Although the appearance is quite different, the principle is not much to see.
Originally, the fairy chakra and the curse seal had nothing to do with each other and had nothing to do with each other. The curse seal was even under the control of the seal, so there was no chance for it to cause any trouble and it remained stable.
This time, under the heavy pressure of Shukaku's power, some changes occurred to both of them, which was something Mizuki was extremely unwilling to see.
There began to be some strange connections between the two, with natural energy as the core. The collective will of the spirit beasts that was originally introduced into Shuimu's body to balance the imbalance of yin and yang, unexpectedly, began to be entangled with the culprit that caused the imbalance of yin and yang - the curse seal, and could not be easily separated.
If the two were not too deeply related, Shuimu could just solve them separately, and this trouble would not be a problem. But now, it is a situation where one move affects the whole body. With such a huge power in the body, if he is not careful, the Sage Mode will collapse, allowing the natural energy to explode in the body unscrupulously. Shuimu does not want to think about the consequences.
"What should I do? There is natural energy as the core and it cannot be naturally divided. There is a curse seal with a yang attribute and a yin attribute spirit body entangled with each other. There is no way to solve it like this."
This difficult problem is a real test of Shuimu's ability and is quite troublesome. If handled well, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. If not handled well, it is normal to leave some sequelae. For example, the problem of imbalance between yin and yang has been plaguing Shuimu for more than two months.
In the end, Mizuki made up his mind to violently decompose the tailed beast's chakra, and resolved the threat. The next imminent problem was that Mizuki's chakra was running out, and even the Breathing Technique was beginning to be a little powerless. After all, it was extremely rare to be able to persist in such a series of battles. Anyway, the Sage Mode could not be sustained for a long time. If there was no good way to think of, it would be better to take the initiative, and maybe there would be a turnaround.
"Ningji, how do you feel?"
"Very good, no problem." Hyuga Neji who was called replied.
"Then, next step, you come to help..."
"What should I do?"
"No need to think too much. Can you use your soft fist up to 128 palms?"
"Can."
"Not bad." Shuimu nodded, he is indeed a genius.
"You should be quite proficient in acupressure, so..." Shuimu instructed solemnly.
"Wait a minute. Use your Byakugan to carefully observe the flow of chakra in my body. If there is anything out of the ordinary, or even an uncontrolled large-scale explosion, directly cut off the release and flow."
Hearing Mizuki's words, Hyuga Neji said in surprise: "This requires me to use acupressure, but according to Captain Mizuki, it may damage the meridians and acupuncture points. The consequences are quite serious."
"I know my limits, just do as I tell you." Let's stop this weird situation first. It doesn't matter if I get hurt, I'm a medical ninja, if it doesn't work, there's still Tsunade, this injury is definitely not a big problem.
