Chapter – 85: Title at the end

[Iwa Clone POV]

Although the battle only lasted for a few minutes and left Onoki gasping for breath, it was nonetheless exhilarating for me as I would not get many chances to see a Kage fight. Now, I am looking forward to seeing a few in the upcoming war; there are two that I want to witness the most, one is of course Minato taking on Iwa shinobi and the other is Raikage's final fight.

Anyway, that's for the future. Looking at the place of battle, well that place is now a huge mess. Melted rocks everywhere, an entire hill seems to have disappeared, etc. Soon the people responsible for sealing the Five-Tails arrive at the scene and bow to Tsuchikage.

"Tsuchikage-sama!"

"Well, you took your time..." snorts Onoki causing them to blush in shame. As the ones responsible for sealing the tailed beast, they should have been the ones to arrive first. However, one cannot blame them as they too have other missions while not doing the sealing...

"Start the sealing," nods Onoki.

"Hai!"

Receiving the order, the thirteen members of the sealing corps disappear in a flash and take their respective positions surrounding the Five-Tails from all sides. Understanding their motives, the Five-Tails starts to growl in anger and starts preparing a Bijudama to end all these ants who are daring enough to come here to seal it again.

Just when they were about to panic, they hear a voice that seems to be able to convince them that nothing will ever happen as long as he is here, "Don't worry about it... you guys continue sealing..."

[Dust Release - Hellish Imprisonment]

With a shout from Onoki, spikes made from Dust Release start to emerge from the ground beneath the Five-Tails. Whenever its body touches any of the spikes even a little bit, that part is hit with Dust Release!

It's not the worst kind of imprisonment if someone takes away your freedom, no, the worst kind is, you have your freedom but they have made sure of it that you yourself don't want to use it! For example, shackling someone so that they cannot move is not the worst; imagine having a contraption set up so that if he moves even a little bit, it will explode and kill him. Now making sure that he knows of this and leaving him with his freedom to move will be a lot worse in my opinion...

Why did I bring this up? Because the Dust Release jutsu that Onoki just used works on the same principle. It is not restricting the Five-Tails' movements by force, instead, it is making sure that if it moves even a little bit, it is hit with tremendous pain of coming into contact with Dust Release!

With the Five-Tails in an awkward position, it couldn't create the Bijudama and even if it were able to, it wouldn't be able to fire it at the intended target. Realizing this, all the sealing corps members start forming Fuinjutsu seals rapidly as they know Onoki cannot hold the tailed beast for long. Soon, massive amounts of seals from all of them connect one another forming a huge sealing diagram encasing the Five-Tails within like a cacoon.

'It's done!' Onoki exhales a sigh.

...

'What an excellent way of using Dust Release... Although, it seems he can only keep this for a few seconds...' I think looking at color being drained of Onoki's face, 'Unless the enemy can absorb ninjutsu like Pain or Madara, this is a pretty good jutsu...'

'Well, it's been entertaining and informative, to say the least... First, let me send the blood sample and tailed beast chakra to the main body as soon as possible...'

'As for the Dust Release, although I only got to see some of the jutsus, it should be enough for now...'

...

[Rei POV]

A few days later, inside the Origin space.

I am looking at the results of my analysis on Jinchuriki's blood sample and they are fascinating! As soon as I tested the blood sample, I noticed that there were gene mutations! In addition, they are different from Otsutsuki and Kekkei Genkai!

But after considering for a few seconds, I think that naming these as mutations will be misleading since what they are doing is just modifying the Jinchuriki's body so that it is compatible with the tailed beast's chakra. So that when they use the tailed beast chakra, they can also use the Kekkei Genkai of the tailed beast! Similar to how Roshi can use Lava Release or Han can use Boil Release...

In addition, the main difference between this and Kekkei Genkai, and the main reason I don't want to call this a mutation is that these traits cannot be passed down to offsprings! Only by using the tailed beast's chakra, they can temporarily keep these genes mutated and it reverts back soon after that, and during normal times, it just appears to be a slightly different gene...

'But why would a Jinchuriki die after the tailed beast is extracted?' I ponder, 'I can test that later... but for now...'

I have a daring plan for now; creating a Tailed beast! I plan to use the chakra I gathered from Han as a seed to create a new tailed beast. I mean, if someone can gather the remaining chakra from the Kyubi attack and successfully create a Pseudo-Jinchuriki from that, I should be able to as well.

'Let's call it Artificial Tailed Beast Plan...'
