Learning the Tailed Beast Bomb

"Redeem Fū's affection reward!" Furen commanded the system, and the familiar wheel appeared in his mind.

He had already checked Fū's reward pool before, and as expected, most of the rewards were related to the Seven-Tails.

"Tailed Beast Bomb, Seven-Tails Beast Cloak, Seven-Tails Second Form…" Furen read out the rewards.

These were all appealing options for Furen. Most of his current jutsu had grand, eye-catching effects. Whether it was Wood Release or Ice Release, they were hard to use discreetly without drawing attention.

The wheel spun and finally landed on one of the purple rewards.

Ding!

Congratulations, you have drawn Fū's 25% affection reward: Seven-Tails Second Form transformation!

"Hmm, so it's this one." Furen was a bit surprised. The Seven-Tails' Second Form was the one where wings sprouted from the user's back, granting flight. This conveniently filled the gap in Furen's abilities, as he couldn't fly before. It would also give him an advantage against flying enemies without needing to resort to large-scale jutsu like Wood Release.

However, the only downside was that the Second Form was quite conspicuous, and using it would make him easily recognizable.

"Overall, it's a useful reward," Furen nodded, then immediately activated the Second Form transformation.

His skin began to shed like a snake's, revealing a black-and-red figure underneath. Large, beetle-like wings grew from his back, allowing him to soar into the sky. The transformation was nearly identical to the one Fū experienced when the Seven-Tails' power was used.

Fū, however, had fallen into a deep sleep after their earlier ordeal, unaware of Furen's transformation. Inside her, the Seven-Tails Chōmei was equally puzzled by what it saw through Fū's senses.

Its small insect eyes blinked in confusion.

How is this possible? How does he have my chakra form?

After getting used to flying, Furen deactivated the transformation and commanded the system, "Continue drawing."

The wheel spun again, and this time, it stopped on a golden reward!

Ding!

Congratulations, you have drawn Fū's 50% affection reward: Tailed Beast Bomb!

"You've got to be kidding. The Tailed Beast Bomb?" Furen's interest piqued.

The Tailed Beast Bomb was a powerful sphere formed by compressing Yin and Yang chakra in an 8:2 ratio, with unparalleled destructive power. It was considered the pinnacle of chakra manipulation. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, even used the principles of the Tailed Beast Bomb to create the Rasengan.

"Now that I've learned the Tailed Beast Bomb, I finally have a technique that doesn't require large-scale destruction."

Furen nodded in satisfaction. Unlike his previous techniques, which caused significant collateral damage, the Tailed Beast Bomb could be adjusted in size according to his needs. Moreover, the traces left behind by the Tailed Beast Bomb's explosion, due to its Yin-Yang nature, would quickly fade, making it harder to track. This was unlike other elemental jutsu that left obvious evidence of their nature—whether it be lightning, wind, water, fire, or earth.

Learning the Tailed Beast Bomb also meant that mastering the Rasengan, a derivative of it, would be a natural progression.

"The first two rewards were great. Let's see how the third one turns out…" Licking his lips in anticipation, Furen instructed the system, "Draw Fū's final affection reward!"

Ding!

Congratulations, you have drawn Fū's 75% affection reward: Seven-Tails Chakra Sharing!

"Seven-Tails Chakra Sharing? Does that mean I can access the tailed beast's chakra just like a jinchūriki?" Furen asked the system for confirmation.

"That's very close," the system replied. "With Seven-Tails Chakra Sharing, the host can receive 30% of the chakra generated by the Seven-Tails at regular intervals for their own use."

Furen smiled widely at the confirmation. This reward solved a problem he had been worrying about—how to replenish his chakra reserves after using the immense chakra stored in his Yin Seal. Now, thanks to Fū's affection rewards, he had a steady source of chakra from the Seven-Tails.

Although it was only 30%, it was still an enormous amount of chakra, enough to quickly restore his Yin Seal after depletion.

At that moment, Chōmei couldn't shake the strange feeling that Furen had somehow become like a second jinchūriki for it, capable of siphoning its chakra.

This must be a mistake… right? Just a mistake… Chōmei tried to convince itself.

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the nearby ground. A puff of smoke cleared to reveal a large-faced cat, Furen's summoning creature from the contract he had signed alongside Tayuya.

"Meow, got a message for you~" The cat stretched out its paw, dropping a scroll into Furen's hand.

Upon seeing the scroll, Furen's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Has Orochimaru found Tsunade…?"
