Bloodline Limit - Chapter 434

“Tailed Beast Bomb,” Ryoha’s command directly transmitted to the mind of the Three-Tails, which had become a part of Ryoha’s body. The Three-Tails immediately roared, as if it were saying “Tailed Beast Bomb.” A light sphere formed in front of its mouth and was launched towards the location of the Konoha ninjas.

“Wind Release: Toad Gun!” “Wood Release: Wood Golem!” Naruto unleashed a water blast, while Yamato quickly used a defensive ninjutsu. The attack of the Tailed Beast Bomb was incredibly powerful, especially under Ryoha’s control. It fully unleashed the immense chakra of the Tailed Beast, which normally condensed a large amount of chakra and released it in the form of a ball. However, when chakra was controlled and utilized by Ryoha, one unit of chakra could achieve the effect of ten units. That was the mystery of chakra control and utilization—the more skilled and advanced it was, the greater the effect.

With the expansion of Three-Tails’ chakra, combined with Ryoha’s precise control of chakra, the power unleashed was much greater than when the Three-Tails used the Tailed Beast Bomb alone. Naruto’s Toad Gun was unable to counteract the Tailed Beast Bomb. It only slowed down the speed of the Tailed Beast Bomb and weakened its power. Then, Yamato’s Wood Golem provided defense. In addition to the Wood Golem, Kakashi and others also released defensive ninjutsu to withstand the attack.

“This is strange. Such precise chakra control and utilization is not something the Three-Tails is capable of. The Tailed Beast Bombs it released before were simply condensed chakra formed into a sphere and launched. It can’t be compared to the attack just now. And the peculiar behavior of the Three-Tails… Could it be?” Kakashi had some knowledge of how Minato controlled the Nine-Tails, but since he didn’t personally experience it like Minato did, he wasn’t completely clear. Now, as he activated his Sharingan, he immediately noticed the change in the Three-Tails’ eyes. They had transformed into eyes similar to the Sharingan, but the colors of the tomoe were incredibly strange—emerald green, white, and black.

“Emerald green? White? Black? Could it be Ryoha?” Kakashi’s expression changed slightly. If it was Ryoha, then all of them were at his mercy. But since Ryoha hadn’t shown himself, could it be that his purpose for coming here wasn’t to target them?

Looking at the Three-Tails, Kakashi began to understand. It seemed like he was testing his ability to control Tailed Beasts. Since Ryoha didn’t reveal himself, Kakashi decided to play dumb. Sometimes, ignorance was bliss. At least, it could help them avoid death.

“It seems that he can effortlessly control the Tailed Beasts and even treat them as a part of his own body. It’s as if he’s controlling his own limbs. He can directly control the Tailed Beast’s chakra, fully unleashing the Tailed Beasts’ power. He can also allow the Tailed Beasts to attack freely. As long as he gives the command, the Tailed Beasts will act according to his orders. It’s truly terrifying.” Kakashi thought to himself while continuously releasing ninjutsu to defend against the never-ending barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs from the Three-Tails.

“Hey, Deidara-senpai, I found it. That’s the Three-Tails,” a man wearing a whirlpool mask in the nearby forest said in a playful and childlike tone.

“Oh, finally?” Deidara looked at the Three-Tails and thought to himself. He didn’t expect that all three of his comrades were already dead. One was Sasori, another was Kakuzu, and the last one was Hidan. Although Kakuzu and Hidan were defeated by Konoha shinobi and voluntarily chose to die at Ryoha’s hands, no matter what, all three of them ultimately died by Ryoha’s hand. He must avenge his three brothers.

“It seems like the Three-Tails is being controlled. It looks like the rumors were true that Ryoha’s eyes have surpassed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Good, let me see if it’s really true.”

Tobi quietly activated his Sharingan and attempted to control the Three-tails. In the sky, Ryoha immediately sensed an external force of eye power trying to break his control over the Three-Tails. It was needless to say that the only person in the world with such ability was Tobi.

“Unfortunately, your eye power is far inferior, both in quality and quantity. The difference is too great,” Ryoha increased his eye power suddenly. The three tomoe rapidly rotated, forcefully expelling Tobi’s eye power.

“Ahhh!” Tobi on the other side immediately felt a soreness in his eyes, and a trace of blood tears trickled down. The direct clash of eye power just now could be said to be a mental battle no less intense. It was clear that Tobi had lost, and when one lost, they naturally suffered a backlash. It wasn’t a matter of aftereffects but rather a matter of victory or defeat, just like the struggle between two Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan users.

The losing side wouldn’t experience aftereffects like those caused by the Mangekyo Sharingan. They would only suffer injuries or a backlash due to the defeat in battle. Currently, Tobi was in that situation. Fortunately, he had strong willpower, and the pain caused by the backlash only made him tremble slightly and utter a grunt. Even Deidara by his side hadn’t noticed Tobi’s condition.

“Indeed, such formidable eye power, that overwhelming aura of darkness. It’s not only the eye power of the Sharingan but also the Nine-Tails’ chakra and even the Byakugan. Moreover, that eye power seems to possess the ability of Hashirama’s Wood Release chakra, the terrifying regenerative power that can bring about constant renewal and eternal existence. It seems his Wood Release has surpassed that of Hashirama. Truly troublesome,” Tobi let out a sigh of complex emotions.

What kind of monster was Ryoha? He had never heard of anyone who could not only use other people’s Bloodline Limit but also multiple Bloodline Limit and continuously evolve to become more terrifying than the original possessors of those Bloodline Limit. He could even fuse different Bloodline Limit together. It was simply unheard of.

Since their first confrontation in the Amegakure, Tobi had been certain that Ryoha was definitely one of his biggest threats (the other being Tsunade). However, his own strength was currently quite limited. Perhaps he could easily handle relatively ordinary Kage-level shinobi, but when facing Ryoha, who possessed multiple Bloodline Limit including the Inverted Cross Mangekyo Sharingan, along with powerful allies like Tsunade, Tobi felt helpless. Fortunately, Nagato had also recovered. When the time came, if Nagato could gather the power of the Six Paths, along with the Outer Path’s abilities and some sacrifice on Tobi’s part, they should be able to drag Ryoha to his death.

Furthermore, once they obtained the power of all nine Tailed Beasts, there would be no need to worry anymore. Therefore, Tobi paid no attention to Ryoha and his group’s interference with Akatsuki’s operation of capturing Tailed Beasts. Tobi focused solely on capturing the Tailed Beasts, and in a short period, they had already captured many.
