"So, to what extent can you do it?" Miki asked, "Make it bigger."
Hearing this, Tsunade nodded, and then the mace rapidly expanded like a balloon, until it became a giant club several tens of meters long.
This...
Jiraiya's lips turned white.
Miki nodded and said, "Can it get even bigger?"
"It can," Tsunade said, "but it needs more Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra. Grandma warned me not to use too much Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra."
The Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra can be used by Tsunade after passing through the seal, but a large amount of Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra overflowing would still make Tsunade go berserk, so special training is needed.
With a clear understanding, Miki stroked her chin and said, "This Thunderclap Eight Trigrams can be removed now."
"Thunderclap Eight Trigrams?" Tsunade said, "That sounds pretty good. Let's go with that name."
With the help of the seal, the Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra was drawn back into her body. Tsunade clapped her hands and looked at Miki.
"Since you can do this much," Miki said, "try it like this…"
As she spoke, a large swarm of black Insects surged out. As Miki moved, she stepped onto a small stone.
The swarm of Insects moved and surged onto Miki's feet and the stone, enveloping them and gathering to form a pair of peculiar long legs.
"What is this?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"Can you do it like this?" Miki asked.
"I'll try."
With Tsunade's fine Chakra control ability, it was not difficult; in fact, it was quite easy.
Crimson Chakra surged out, lengthening her legs at the feet, making her several tens of centimeters taller.
Tsunade took a few steps to test it, giving a soft 'hmm' as she noticed something unusual.
The distance between her strides had increased.
Miki said, "It's not right."
"But I followed it exactly," Tsunade said.
"There's no shock absorption, no rebound potential, and it can't be converted into kinetic energy," Miki said. "The Chakra shaping is too rigid."
Tsunade tilted her head, a string of question marks appearing on her forehead.
Miki stepped forward and began to correct Tsunade's Chakra release little by little.
Soon, new Chakra legs appeared.
The appearance hadn't changed, but there were a few small details added.
This time, Tsunade noticed the abnormality more quickly. Her body felt lighter, but this was an illusion; in reality, it was more energy-efficient. It felt as if her feet were stepping on springs, making her walk with a bouncy gait.
It was a very novel feeling. As she walked, Tsunade asked, "What is this?"
"An application of biological bionics engineering: a bionic exoskeleton."
"Tell me something I can understand," Tsunade said, without feeling ashamed.
"You know the Inuzuka Clan's jutsu, right? The Beast Transformation Jutsu imitates the posture of wild animals," Miki said. "Compared to wild animals in nature, humans don't have particular advantages in terms of physical body."
Everyone listening showed thoughtful expressions.
"So, their clan's jutsu is also an application of bionics," Miki said, "but it only imitates the surface; it hasn't gone deeper."
"Not to mention their super sense of smell, a dog's whiskers have sensory abilities. They can judge the surrounding situation, the size and distance of objects through the vibration of airflow."
"Their hearing can distinguish sound sources from thirty-two directions, while humans only have sixteen. Beyond that number, humans cannot distinguish."
Because she could use their abilities by infecting dogs, Miki felt it deeply.
"In addition, they have an amazing ability to endure hunger and thirst, are excellent at resisting cold, possess super memory, can see at night, and have keen intuition. Many animals have abilities that surpass humans, and many of them are comparable to a Bloodline Limit."
"For example, dolphins can detect their environment through sonar, by emitting sound waves. The sound waves hit obstacles, reflect, and are received by their ears for judgment."
Miki glanced at Chiri and Sakumo, and said, "Among them, there is an animal that detects its surroundings by receiving bio-electromagnetism. This means that as long as a muscle moves, this deaf and blind animal can accurately know your location."
Lightning Release, huh…
Sakumo looked confused.
Naori looked thoughtful.
"That's amazing!" Tsunade bounced around and said, "What kind of animal's feet are these?"
"A bird," Miki said.
"A bird?" Tsunade asked in confusion, "Don't birds fly? Are they also good at running?"
The earliest birds couldn't fly; they were good at climbing trees.
Miki said, "A kind of ground-dwelling bird. Don't you think chickens run pretty fast too?"
"That's true," Tsunade said.
"Many four-legged beasts run fast, like antelopes, but those are four legs. Among two-legged beasts, this bird is extremely good at running. One reason is its large stride, second is its shock absorption and cushioning, third is its stable center of gravity, and fourth is its spring-like potential energy conversion."
"It's a bionic application extremely suitable for the human body structure," Miki said. "You don't have to run awkwardly on all fours like the Inuzuka Clan."
"It's a delicate ninja foot technique that only someone with a large amount of Chakra like you can achieve."
"Exactly!" Tsunade tried to jog, constantly adapting to the new running style.
"Through the burst of Chakra, you can also achieve instantaneous explosive acceleration."
"Mastering this ninja foot technique requires practice," Miki said. "Now, we have other things to do. Stop playing."
"Yes," Tsunade replied, withdrawing her Chakra and landing on the ground, looking at Miki expectantly.
At this moment, Jiraiya, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask, "Mushi-Hime, what can frogs do?"
"They eat insects," Miki said, staring at Jiraiya.
Killing intent!
"I'm not! I didn't! I!" Jiraiya looked at Miki and said sincerely, "I wouldn't dare, really!"
"Observe carefully what frogs can do yourself. Do I still need to teach you such things?" Miki finished, then looked at Tsunade.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu, do you know it?"
Tsunade had never used it before, so Miki wasn't sure if she knew it.
"Yes!" Tsunade nodded.
"And Multiple Shadow Clone?" Miki asked.
"Yes, that too!" Tsunade affirmed.
Sarutobi-sensei taught her this.
"Then, use it with all your might, Multiple Shadow Clone!" Miki said.
Hearing this, Tsunade nodded and formed the hand signs.
Immediately after the jutsu activated, countless Tsunades began to appear, densely packed, one after another. At a glance, all that could be seen was Tsunade's golden hair.
Were there thousands or tens of thousands?
It was impossible to count them all at once.
There were just Tsunades everywhere.
The onlookers watched this scene with solemn expressions.
When the numbers reached this extent, it was no longer a simple one plus one.
The oppressive force was off the charts.
Hitomi's eyes were filled with solemnity. With this number, let alone one per slash, even thirty or forty per slash would take a long time to cut through.
Although the Shadow Clones would disappear with a single touch, Tsunade's Shadow Clones would also make anyone they touched disappear.
Sakumo scratched his head; this time, his scalp was truly tingling.
Orochimaru clenched his fists tightly.
Jiraiya looked at so many Tsunades, his eyes filled with despair.
"How terrifying…" Naori couldn't help but straighten up, muttering as she looked around.
It truly was very oppressive.
Tsunade's face was filled with excitement. As they all spoke in unison, the forest grew noisy.
Miki raised a hand, signaling Tsunade to be quiet, then smiled, "This is the most suitable jutsu for you. Use it well."
"Mm." Tsunade nodded.
