Chapter 43: Yumi Jinchuriki
Suddenly, massive branches erupted from the ground, cracking and spreading in all directions. A colossal brown hand emerged where the God Tree once stood, firmly anchoring itself to the earth.
Using the hand as a pivot, an enormous beast burst forth with a thunderous boom, wreaking havoc on its surroundings with its sheer size and power. The ground beneath it formed deep pits, bearing witness to the weight of the colossal creature.
The beast's head, resembling a mountain in size, bore a single eye—the Rinnesharingan—with nine tomoe encircling a ripple. The mechanical movements of its eye unsettled all who watched, evoking a sense of revulsion.
With a resounding explosion, the massive beast emerged fully, causing even greater destruction and devastation in its wake.
As it appeared, a deafening shriek escaped from its monstrous mouth, assaulting the world with its sheer intensity. Like a sonic boom, the shriek sent ripples across nations, sowing panic and chaos wherever it reached.
Terrified people clung to each other, seeking solace in the face of this overwhelming sound that shattered windows and toppled buildings.
In all its splendor, the ten-tails manifested before the astonished world. For the natives, the sheer size of the creature felt surreal, and their perception shifted from a god-like being to a terrifying monster.
A deafening roar reverberated through the air, causing the people to tremble in sheer terror, a clear indication of the ten-tails' arrival.
This monstrous entity was unlike anything they had ever encountered. Its immense body towered over them, its ten tails extending in every direction, instilling a sense of awe and fear. The beast's brown skin only added to its menacing presence, striking fear into the hearts of those who beheld it.
Many stood frozen, paralyzed by the horror unfolding before their eyes, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the situation. The ten-tails possessed ominous features: razor-sharp teeth, piercing red eyes, and an aura of overwhelming power radiating from its very core.
Having slumbered for a thousand years while absorbing the planet's natural energy, it had grown from a mere infant to a colossal being capable of obliterating half the planet.
As the ten-tails loomed over the horrified onlookers, their attention was drawn to a massive bud on its body. With a loud cracking sound, the bud began to bloom, revealing its purple petals that slowly unfurled.
Within the blooming bud, a grotesque sight awaited them—a swollen seed covered in mucus and warts. The simultaneous fascination and disgust intensified as the seed continued to expand right before their disbelieving eyes.
Yukari and her companions observed the unfolding spectacle with a mixture of amusement and pity. "I hope the taste of the fruit justifies what we're witnessing," Yukari remarked
With a sudden explosion, the seed burst open, heralding the resurrection of the God Tree. However, this time, it was different. The tree appeared larger and more majestic than before, emanating an aura of ominous power. Its roots began to spread out across the world, relentlessly searching for sources of life to sustain itself.
As the roots extended, they carried with them the essence of the grotesque seed that had birthed the tree. Their progress was relentless, exploring every corner of the earth, delving into forests, mountains, rivers, and oceans. In their wake, they left a trail of desolation, absorbing the life force of everything they encountered.
People and animals unfortunate enough to come into contact with the roots were drained of their vitality, leaving only withered husks in their wake. Witnessing the tree's destructive power, onlookers could only watch in horror as it continued its relentless rampage, draining all life in its path.
Powerful beings, recognizing the imminent catastrophe, took action to destroy the roots and rescue as many people as possible. It became an apocalyptic scenario for everyone involved.
The world's strongest individuals rallied together, converging on the God Tree in an attempt to find a solution. Among them, the elves were particularly terrified as they approached the menacing presence of the God Tree.
In the midst of all this chaos and transformation, Yukari and her companions marveled as the roots advanced. "Yumi, are you ready?" Yukari inquired. "Yes, mommy, let go!" exclaimed Yumi joyfully.
Yukari maintained her hold on Yumi, absorbing her slowly and ensuring her daughter felt no pain. As she absorbed Yumi, Yukari's chakra spiked, and her aura changed. The ground beneath her feet shook, and her eyes glowed bright blue.
The other powerful beings paused in their actions and turned to look at Yukari in amazement. Some were frightened by the sudden surge of energy, but Yukari remained unfazed. Tiamat stayed close by, protecting her.
"I feel more powerful now. It seems that when bonded with Yumi, I attain a high-level Otsutsuki strength. Unfortunately, this transformation is only temporary. I do not intend to utilize Yumi as a source of power. That's what the Chakra fruits are for," Yukari muttered to herself.
She glanced at Tiamat, who appeared to be guarding her. "Father, where are you?" Lia shouted, concern evident in her voice as she had not seen him. The others regarded Yukari with hostility.
"Were you the one who caused all this?" asked an old man, who seemed to be around Tiamat's level when they first fought. Since then, Tia had grown in strength, reaching mid-level Otsutsuki.
Yukari mockingly feigned surprise. "Do you think poor little me could cause such devastation? How could I commit such a heinous crime?" she exclaimed heroically.
"The truth is, the God Tree has always been a beast since its arrival on this planet. It was never a god, just a mindless beast. You're simply unlucky that it landed here," she explained to them. "However, I may or may not have accelerated the process," she added cryptically.
Everyone was shocked by this revelation about the God Tree, never expecting someone to desire the world's doom. "Did you kill my father?" Lia asked, her anger palpable. "Hmm, your father? Was he a blonde hair dude, who brought along many mages and warriors to fight a formidable being?" Yukari asked, tilting her head as she tried to recall. "YOU DEMON!" shrieked Lia.
Yukari responded casually, "Ahh, sorry, not sorry." In an instant, a barrage of powerful spells rained down on her. With her newly acquired rinnesharingan, Yukari easily tracked all the attacks and swiftly escaped with Tiamat through a portal.
