Chapter 179: Fighting the Three-Tails

Finally, a furious monster with three tails emerged from the water column and at all possible speed rushed to its offender. Shikamaru didn't notice any wounds on him, but the monster's gray carapace was clearly cracked. The explosion turned out to be much stronger than expected!

- Ha! Great, come to me! Standing at the top of one of his palms, Shikamaru laughed contentedly. Mostly he tried to provoke the beast, but it seems that this was not required, he was just furious!

Three-tailed - Isobu, his appearance was amazing, it was not for nothing that the biju was afraid, this monster really looked quite creepy, not so much because of its size but because of its unusual appearance. A huge turtle-like beast, with three tails like a shrimp. The spiked carapace, forehead and jaw, it was they that gave him such a repulsive look, paired with two paws that looked like human hands. The red skin looked more like bare muscles, right under his bloody eyes. It is difficult to imagine with what fantasy the sage embodied such a creation.

Isobu's roar scared away all the animals in the area, the birds scattered in horror and left the forests, while Shikamaru was just waiting with a fierce grin to meet this monster. The tailed was not fast, but it is simply impossible to call him slow, he gradually approached and was already in full preparation to strike!

At that moment when the biju swam close enough, Shikamaru bent his fingers and at the same moment his clone scattered, instantly the marks of the sage appeared on the guy's body, and with the next movement he brought into action the extreme of his palms. At a terrifying speed, she rushed towards Isobu. The beast could already stand under water and threw out its tail in response to human actions. The tree palm wasted no time rushing towards its target with all possible speed, its length was amazing, which is why it finally managed to reach the monster's shell, at the same moment colliding with the spiked tail!

After another rumble, followed by more and more, in contact with the wet surface of the tail, rubidium exploded madly! After the roar of the monster, Shikamaru realized that it would be better not to give him a chance to repel all attacks, so he brought into action the remaining nine palms and a consistent bombardment began from all sides of the coast.

The beast growled furiously, he had not experienced such pain for a long time, an explosion damaged its tail, and a whole bunch of such palms rushed after it! Isobu's rage began to subside, but it was already too late to run away, his palms overtook him ... Then something happened that he was so afraid of. Explosion! So terrible that the monster simply could not control himself and hid in a shell.

Sequentially, each of the palms overtook all of his bodies and continued to explode. Pieces of wood chipped off and fell into the water, followed by even more terrible explosions. Shikamaru spared no metal, and the alkali reaction showed itself in all its glory!

Then, Shikamaru rushed into battle himself! He knew that this could not be enough, so he decided to show this monster another stunning technique!

Drops of water flew into the air, Shikamaru stopped instantly, and then began to fold seals! The beast continued to roar in pain, and the explosions of rubidium slowly died down, the fragments ended. Then, Shikamaru slammed his palms and a huge monster head burst out of the ground! Tree Dragon!

The dragon's long body continued to burst out from under the water, and Shikamaru immediately directed it towards his main target! Isobu's face finally flashed with fear! Following, the terrifying dragon opened its jaws and rushed to the goal. Its fanged muzzle bared its teeth in a tantalizing manner and instantly appeared in front of the body of a tailed beast. Isobu was already whining in pain, when suddenly a long tree monster encircled his horned muzzle. At the same moment, Shikamaru grinned harshly and, meeting the bloody eye of the biju, he finally said:

- Sweet dreams! The explosion thundered and Isobu finally lost any chance of resisting. Consciousness was already leaving him after successive explosions, the tremor passed through the shell again and again, and the dragon was the last straw. He fell from the same technique as in the past!

Finally, the battle was over. Shikamaru let out a long breath and reached the body of the defeated creature. He didn’t want to relax, he didn’t spend so much chakra, and not so much was required to recreate rubidium and woody hands. Naturally, these techniques in a battle with shinobi are unlikely to have the same destructive effect, they still need training, but against such a huge beast like Isobu, it was quite suitable. In addition, as it turned out, this monster was clearly weaker than its older relatives and did not use particularly destructive attacks. If Kurama and Shikamaru were here, he would not even have hoped to catch him so easily, not only because of the tailed beast bomb, but also because of the fox's speed.

In any case, even if everything went well, it was worth finishing what we started. Shikamaru stopped at the huge body of the monster and made the next passes with his hands, and then touched the body of the Three-Tails, after which he repeated the process twice. With that done, Shikamaru ended up at one of the monster's tails and simply grabbed onto one of them. Following, he easily raised his tail and pulled the beast to the shore. Making everything easier was a piece of cake.

Once Isobu was on the sand, Shikamaru was finally able to get a better look at him. The size was really impressive, and the huge chakra reserves were amazing! Shikamaru was at times inferior to such a monster, and this despite the fact that it is only the third most powerful of their kind! One has only to imagine how terrifying Kurama or Gyuki are.

`` So, it's time to finally finish the main thing ... '' Looking around the still active Byakugan, Shikamaru did not notice any oddities, so he finally prepared to seal the bija in his body.

Like other Fuinjutsu, Shikamaru now possessed several marks on his body, the main part of them being deep on the bones and directly touching the chakrakanals. That is why the marks had only strictly designated places, for better distribution of the Bijuu chakra and for lightening the load. External manifestations on the skin could appear only after sealing in the area of ​​the body of the tailed beasts. Except for the tenth seal, which, when inactive, stood out on Shikamaru's stomach with just a black inverted triangle. The rest of the body remained without unnecessary marks from his ten gate technique. Although, in addition to this, there were marks on Shikamaru's body. For example, on the neck - in the style of a simple vertical strip of fuin and exactly the same, but slightly more on the forearm. He also made marks on the little fingers in the same style. All of them are needed for combat situations, but they did not spoil the view at all. Now the moment has come to awaken the first mark of the Ten Demonic Gateway technique!
