Chapter 23: Triple Binding and Taming the Bull
With a soft "whoosh" sound, an invisible slash suddenly swept past.
In an instant, the dummy wearing metal protective gear was decapitated, with a clean and smooth cut on its neck, like a mirror surface precisely cut by a sharp blade.
Fukuyo used only one-third of his usual chakra, yet unleashed the exact same slash.
Furthermore, due to the improvement in chakra quality, the sharpness of the slashes also increased dramatically.
The feel and precision when casting spells have also been greatly improved, giving Fuheiyao the feeling of suddenly jumping from 30 frames per second to 120 frames per second when playing the Naruto mobile game in his previous life.
"It's definitely more effective to use it powered by native energy."
"Tsk, this facial tattoo is interesting; it's the same one as Sukuna's."
Fu Heiyao strode to the artificial hill in the courtyard, lowered his eyes to look at his sinister face reflected in the clear water, and said with satisfaction.
His appearance already resembled that of Fushiguro Megumi, and with the addition of Sukuna's signature black curse mark, he looked exactly like the Ten Kage Sukuna.
However, this state lasted for less than a minute before he was once again plagued by negative emotions.
Fu Heiyao did not immediately withdraw, but instead stubbornly persisted, seemingly testing something.
"I can stay fully conscious for about a minute, after which I gradually lose my senses. Three minutes is the limit of what I can control!"
After persisting for a full three minutes, Fu Heiyao decisively summoned the Unending Throat.
A hideous worm poked its head out of the shadows. Fuko touched the worm's teeth with his palm and actively transferred the cursed chakra within his body to it.
As the cursed chakra disappeared, the black curse marks on Fukuyo's body gradually faded and returned to normal.
Fukuyo savored the feeling of normal state and cursed chakra mode.
Fukoku Yo internally summarized the flaws and advantages of the Cursed Chakra Mode.
"I only need to charge up for ten seconds to activate the Cursed Chakra Mode, which is much faster than the Sage Mode in the original work."
Moreover, within those ten seconds, the feel, intensity, and battery life were all far superior to my normal performance.
The drawback is that the power and stability of the Cursed Chakra Mode are inferior to Sage Mode, and only the main body can condense the Cursed Chakra.
If it lasts too long, it will get out of control; however, combined with the devouring property of the Unending Throat, it's possible to exploit a bug.
With a thought, Fukuyo charged up for ten seconds and entered the Cursed Chakra Mode again.
Black runes once again covered his face, and he was able to command powerful cursed chakra at will.
However, this time Fukuyo did not act recklessly and quickly allowed the Unending Throat to devour the cursed chakra.
"This is a great help. It truly lives up to its reputation as the Ten Shadows Technique, which combines both upper limits and freedom."
Fu Heiya looked at the Unending Throat diligently absorbing the cursed chakra and sighed.
After hardship comes happiness.
Unending Throat is the Chimera he has spent the most time and effort developing to date.
It played an indispensable role in the development of the Cursed Chakra Mode.
Ever since Fukuyo decided to tackle the challenge of combining curse power and chakra, he has been out of control almost every night.
They often smash the basement to pieces, and even the seals are gradually becoming ineffective due to wear and tear.
Troubled by how to continue training the Cursed Chakra Mode while avoiding losing control, Fukuyo immediately thought of the Unending Throat's ability to devour chakra.
As a shikigami based on Orochi, perfectly combining the advantages of Tamamo-no-Mae and Toad, its potential is quite high.
The fact that it possesses energy storage capabilities similar to the Yin Seal alone maximizes its functionality.
Since the cause of his loss of control was the cursed chakra, theoretically, all that's needed is to expel that chakra from his body.
At first, Fukuyo was a little worried that these out-of-control cursed chakra might damage the Unending Throat or contaminate the stored chakra.
That would be a huge loss for him, as he would lose a trump card for nothing.
However, after the out-of-control cursed chakra was injected into the body of the Unending Throat, a miraculous scene occurred.
Although the Chimera Beast was somewhat uncomfortable, it quickly adapted to the mixed energy of cursed power and chakra, and even underwent secondary development.
Fu Heiyao was surprised to find that the cursed power that was on the verge of going out of control was being slowly separated within the Unending Throat.
Chakra is stored, while curse power is transformed into nutrients through a mechanism similar to a sealing gate, expanding the upper limit of the body's internal space.
The original Unending Throat reached its maximum chakra storage capacity after being fed by Obsidian Fukuko for a year.
Fifty calories.
This is the limit. In this state, the Chimera Beast's Unending Throat is like an inflating balloon; forcing it to attack will only cause it to explode.
However, under the stimulation of cursed chakra, this upper limit was actually widened.
This was completely unexpected by Fu Heiyao, after all, he had conducted many experiments after acquiring the Chimera Beast Unending Throat, which could store energy.
For example, let's inject cursed power into the Unending Throat and see if it can store two types of energy at the same time.
But Bu Xiu's throat seemed to be digesting stones, and he appeared to be in great discomfort.
Unexpectedly, the Throat of Unending Rest underwent such a miraculous change after being replaced with Cursed Chakra.
Fuhei is quite satisfied with the fact that Unending Throat has changed from a support shikigami that can only fight in the early and mid-game to a scaling shikigami that can fight throughout the entire game.
"Good, now it's time to subdue the new shikigami and test the strength of my cursed chakra output."
Fukuyo waited quietly for the Unending Throat to digest the cursed chakra before making the Bull Piercing Hand Seal.
With the summoning of Obsidian, the subjugation ritual begins.
With its distance-based charging mechanism, Guan Niu was like a raging dragon, breaking free of the shadows and immediately crashing into Fu Heiyao.
"What a raging bull."
The Unending Throat was restless, but instead of binding and restraining the bull as it had done with the Manxiang before, it wrapped a section of its tail around Fu Heiyao.
Chimera Beasts based on the Great Serpent are in no way inferior to Tauren in terms of defense.
"Let me show you just how strong I am now!"
Fukuyo charged up his power and entered the Cursed Chakra Mode, revealing sinister facial markings.
Fukuyo rapidly formed hand seals, not the raised hand gesture of the chef, nor the hand shadows of the Ten Shadows Technique, but the hand seals of a ninjutsu.
These are the results of his two years of work, whether it is the elemental magic of Manxiang and Nue, or the slashing magic of Yu Chuzi.
In each daily use, Fukuyo would carefully capture the traces of chakra during its circulation, and finally reproduce them through ninja hand seals.
Moreover, he had previously established a restraint system, which not only temporarily enhanced his control precision but also amplified his power through hand seals.
Fu Heiyao even felt that one restraint was not enough, so he set up another restraint.
"In the ensuing battle, the power of Yin Release will be amplified because it will prevent the use of any esoteric techniques other than Yin Release!"
This is something that Fu Heiyao gradually figured out over the past two years after learning many of Su Nuo's binding techniques through the Sealed Gate.
Both the Imperial Chef and the Ten Shadows Technique fall under the category of Yin Escape.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. The kind of energy that is full of negative emotions, such as curse power, can only be contained by Yin Dun, which is also a kind of spiritual energy.
In an instant, all the ninjutsu that Fu Heiyao had learned in the past two years were converted into Yin Release amplification according to some indescribable rule.
"A 120% increase, not bad!" Fu Heiyao chanted, watching the bull that seemed to be crashing into him like a lucky charm.
"Dragon scales, reversed hair, a pair of shooting stars."
Under the triple restraints, Guan Niu, who was only a few meters away from Fu Heiyao, was instantly sent flying backward.
When the bull stood up straight again, its hard horns had been cut off, and half of its face had been slashed with deep, bone-revealing cuts.
"Under triple restraints, a break within three meters can already severely injure a bull; quite impressive!"
Fu Heiyao stared at the injuries on Guan Niu's face and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Even Guan Niu, a shikigami with a focus on numerical values, was severely injured by this slash, so the other person was no exception.
Fu Heiyao speculated that a slash under triple binding at a distance of nearly three meters could directly cut off most Jonin in the ninja world at the waist.
"In that case, just obediently go and die."
Glancing at the messy courtyard, Fu Heiyao's expression changed slightly, and he didn't give Guan Niu another chance.
Fu Heiya formed hand seals and continuously unleashed the "Release" technique, his strikes sweeping through the bull's entire body like a storm.
"Solve! Solve! Solve!"
The slashes continued to cut through the bull's body, and the splattered purple blood was cut into a blood mist that filled the air.
Even the numerically powerful and defensively strong Bull is reduced to a slaughtered calf in front of the mindless repetition of the chef, Fushiko.
Before long, Guan Niu transformed into a wisp of black mist and returned to the shadow, while Fu Heiyao gained the authority to command Guan Niu.
