Recently, Pharmacist Kabuto has been in a bad mood.

The reason was not complicated. It was not because of the huge loss in the deal with Mizuki, nor was it because Lord Orochimaru seemed to be suspicious of his behavior recently. The biggest unhappiness came from the insurmountable obstacles he encountered on the road he had expected.

Sage Mode is an important part of my plan, but I didn't expect something to go wrong at this crucial step.

"I was tricked!"

There is no doubt that I suffered a great loss in the transaction with Shuimu.

If you are not as skilled as others, you will have to deal with them yourself. You can't blame others if you get ripped off.

I got most of what I wanted, and I was satisfied with it. I didn't expect Shuimu to hold back at the critical point...

"Where can I get the Tailed Beast Chakra?"

With Kabuto Yakushi's current strength, it is definitely not enough to rob the Jinchūriki of the five major ninja villages. Not to mention that he cannot defeat them, even whether he can find them is a big question mark!

Therefore, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki who had targeted Takigakure not long ago was also helpless. It was a small ninja village and the Jinchuriki was still young, so there might be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Shuimu, and then ran back in shame.

In Orochimaru's laboratory, which is nearby, there is tissue cultivated from the horns of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki that can provide the tailed beast chakra, but this is a treasure that even Orochimaru values ​​very much, and Kabuto Yakushi does not dare to act rashly.

For forbidden techniques like Impure World Reincarnation and Curse Sealing Technique, since he would be involved in the research and even assist in performing the techniques, it would not be a problem for him to embezzle the skills.

When it comes to things like the tailed beasts, if you try to get your hands on them casually, you might really be suspected.

After obtaining the Mizuki version of the Sage Mode training method, he was at a loss as his plan to defeat Nanao Shigeaki also failed. Yakushi Kabuto had to start exploring his own potential, and the obviously effective seal technique caught his attention.

There are always many common coincidences between people of similar types. Mizuki is planning to use the curse seal to create a fake Jinchūriki, and Kabuto Yakushi also regards the curse seal as his last chance.

It's a pity that Kabuto Yakushi does not have the fairy chakra like Mizuki. Even if he has analyzed the secret of the seal, he still cannot erase the traces of Orochimaru and replace his own will into the Heaven's Seal. He cannot create a safe and reliable seal of his own.

Before Kabuto Yakushi transplanted Orochimaru's cells as in the original work, he did not have the qualifications to practice Sage Mode. The limitation of chakra blocked the possibility of Kabuto Yakushi to perceive and absorb natural energy to practice Sage Mode by himself, so he had to rely on external forces.

Without Senjutsu Chakra, there would be no safe and controllable curse seals, Sage Mode and Sage Transformation would be mere fantasies, and there would be no reliable basis for using curse seals.

This is an endless cycle. The key to solving this problem lies in the tailed beast chakra. As long as the fairy chakra is refined to create the Heaven's Curse Seal, some difficulties will be solved...

"If you want to forcibly activate the Sage Mode and use the Sharingan, it seems you will have to fall into someone else's trap!"

However, Kabuto Yakushi was not sure what to use to exchange with Mizuki to obtain the necessary tailed beast chakra. It would be better to ask if there was anything in his hand that Mizuki would like...

"The Reincarnation of the Dead and the Eight-Headed Technique?"

I definitely don't have anything good left, so I can only find a way to deal with Orochimaru. Of course, this is not an easy thing to do!

…

Haruno Sakura was sweating on her forehead as she fended off the double attack from Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru. It wasn't that she didn't want to turn this embarrassing situation around, she just couldn't find the right opportunity.

If they were only comparing the amount of available chakra, Sakura didn't think she would lose to the opposing Inuzuka Kiba.

However, having a huge amount of chakra is useless if you cannot use it to your advantage.

Inuzuka Kiba carefully took into account the suggestions made by Mizuki, actively interfered with Sakura's performance, and constantly directed the battle to the rhythm he was good at!

"Is Kiba's chakra also of earth attribute? This is bad!"

The flexible use of chakra shield in a small range made Sakura gradually understand the threat of Inuzuka Kiba.

"As expected, you are the master's student. As long as it is possible, you will not give up the power brought by chakra transformation."

Of the three family ninjas in Team 8, Hyuga Hinata doesn't need to worry about herself. Her soft fist and Byakugan have high enough growth potential, so there is no need for Mizuki to interfere. Mizuki plans to teach Hinata some useful medical ninjutsu next. Aburame Shino asked for it herself and learned a good sealing technique and barrier technique from Mizuki, which is a small gain. Inuzuka Kiba is the most opinionated and scheming one. Ever since he heard Mizuki talk about the development prospects of chakra nature change and form change, he has been very concerned about this. While practicing the family ninjutsu, he also tried to integrate chakra nature change and form change into his own attacks.

Inuzuka Kiba is the person with the most extreme chakra tendency among all the people Mizuki has ever met.

Water and wood are already shabby enough on their own, and there are only three types of fire attributes plus yin and yang in total.

Inuzuka Kiba is even worse, with only earth and yang. These two attributes give Inuzuka Kiba excellent physical strength, endurance and chakra. In terms of physical fitness alone, apart from Rock Lee who doesn't care about his life, only Uzumaki Naruto can beat him.

Inuzuka Kiba wanted to work hard on the changes in chakra's form and nature, and Mizuki certainly had no intention of keeping his skills to himself. As long as he wanted to learn, Mizuki would do his best to help him.

So now, when Inuzuka Kiba uses physical and secret techniques, the aura of earth escape surrounding his body makes his attacks faster and much more powerful.

"Yatongya!"

Two rapidly rotating figures formed a shape like a tornado. The change in the nature of the chakra wrapped around them dyed the wind tornado light yellow, and rushed towards the chakra shield of similar color below.

The violent collision produced a dull thud, followed by the crisp sound of the chakra shield shattering.

"The defense has been broken. Has the winner been decided?"

The spectators in the stands all leaned forward and stared with wide eyes at the fierce battle below.

This is the most tightly-paced match since the Chunin Exams, with almost no pauses from the beginning to now.

In the rising dust, two swift figures rushed out first. They were Inuzuka Kiba and his ninja dog Akamaru. They kept attacking non-stop, and the man and the dog had to stop to catch their breath.

Not far away, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing Haruno Sakura half-kneeling on the ground, looking very embarrassed. However, it seemed that she had not been seriously injured, and the effect of Yin Yushangmie was still quite good...
