NOVEL WEB Chapter 155: Chapter 155
Karu, my current ability is enough to remove the One-Tail and save your life.
Everything from now on is up to you, Karu, don't worry.
Uchiha Shin emphasized again, hoping that Karu would not be nervous.
Karu always had a gentle smile on her face. She stretched out her pale hands and held Uchiha Shin's palms.
"I have always believed in you, Master Uchiha Shin. Please, go ahead."
Facing Karu's pure and unwavering gaze, Uchiha Shin felt a rare touch of emotion in his heart.
It was common knowledge that if a Jinchūriki lost their tailed beast, they would die.
Yet Karu trusted him unconditionally. She was placing her life in his hands without hesitation.
Originally, Uchiha Shin had prepared a few words to reassure her, to brace her for what was about to happen. But he never expected such unwavering trust.
Nodding in quiet acknowledgment, Uchiha Shin placed his palm over Karu's lower abdomen. His chakra flared, and his consciousness sank into the seal within her body.
Inside the mental plane, the One-Tail Shukaku stirred lazily. The enormous tanuki-like beast had grown accustomed to Uchiha Shin's visits over the years.
Shin had frequently siphoned chakra from the creature, reducing its strength gradually.
So, when the Uchiha appeared once again, Shukaku barely reacted.
"Snore~"
The beast let out a loud, lazy yawn, as if completely unbothered.
Seeing the fat raccoon snoring before him, Uchiha Shin couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked up and patted Shukaku on the head. His voice was relaxed, almost casual, like he was talking to an old friend.
"This time is different, Shukaku. I came here to kill you."
"...?"
Shukaku's small golden eyes flickered open in confusion. He stared at Uchiha Shin, taking a moment to process the words. Then it finally clicked.
"Wait... you're gonna kill me? Seriously? No joke?"
The tailed beasts had no true concept of death. If they died, they would eventually reform somewhere in the world.
But for Shukaku, it was different. He hadn't been living like a true tailed beast for years. Uchiha Shin's sealing techniques were too strong. He had been trapped in this dark void, his chakra siphoned over time.
It was a miserable existence.
Compared to this, death sounded like an escape.
Shukaku sat up eagerly, his large claws tapping against the mental floor.
"Holy crap, you're serious?! I can finally get out of this prison?! KILL ME NOW, DAMMIT!"
Seeing Shukaku's excitement, Uchiha Shin gave a solemn nod.
He had already taken all the chakra he needed from the One-Tail. Keeping it inside Karu's body served no further purpose.
Instead of letting it sit in captivity, it was better to extract it completely.
Besides, after his recent encounter with Kurama, Uchiha Shin had gained enough insight into chakra manipulation to protect Karu's life.
"Well then, let's do this, Shukaku."
"Wait, hold on a sec!" Shukaku's ears twitched, and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "What about the girl? If I die, she dies too, right? You're just gonna let her drop dead?"
Uchiha Shin raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Shukaku to be concerned about that.
Seeing Shin's expression, the One-Tail huffed. "Don't get the wrong idea! I just think you care too much about that woman. You wouldn't just let her die, would you?"
Shin stared at the beast in silence for a moment.
Then, without a word, he activated his Rinnegan.
A powerful vortex of chakra erupted from his palm.
"Chakra Devour."
Shukaku barely had time to react.
The One-Tail's body—composed entirely of chakra—was helpless against the immense suction force.
His form was rapidly pulled apart, breaking into raw energy.
Shukaku's eyes widened in horror as he stared into the six-ringed Rinnegan.
"R-Rinnegan!?"
It was something he had only heard of in legends. To see those eyes again after centuries…
But before he could say another word, his form was completely absorbed.
The One-Tail was gone.
Uchiha Shin stood still, feeling the overwhelming surge of chakra coursing through his body.
He had absorbed every last drop. Unlike his method with Kurama, he left nothing behind. Shukaku was truly dead.
As a result, the seal within Karu's body unraveled instantly.
Her body trembled violently. Without the beast inside her, her life force was rapidly depleting.
Uchiha Shin had anticipated this.
His hand glowed with an eerie yet gentle energy.
A forbidden technique—one that rivaled even the power of the Edo Tensei.
"Rebirth Chakra Transfer."
This technique, an advanced version of the life-giving jutsu used by legendary shinobi in the past, allowed Uchiha Shin to directly transfer his own vitality into Karu.
A brilliant light enveloped her body.
Karu's breath hitched. Her vision blurred as warmth flooded her veins.
It was intoxicating.
She felt like she was floating in a hot spring, every cell in her body bathed in soothing heat.
More than that, she could feel Shin's essence flowing through her, his chakra wrapping around her soul like a protective embrace.
The markings on her lower abdomen shimmered, glowing a soft pink as the seal's remnants faded away.
She gasped, her body shuddering from the overwhelming sensation.
"Master Uchiha Shin… it's so warm…"
Her voice was barely a whisper. Her body, too weak to hold itself upright, collapsed forward.
Uchiha Shin caught her before she fell, his arms steady.
Konan, who had been watching the entire scene, smirked knowingly.
" , you should bring her inside."
Shin turned his head slowly, narrowing his eyes.
Konan's tone… it was far too mischievous.
Still, he carried Karu into the house, placing her down gently. But the moment he did—
Konan locked the door behind him.
"Alright, , take responsibility~"
Shin stared blankly. "Konan, what the hell are you talking about?"
Konan smirked. "Oh, don't play dumb. You poured your chakra into her. You've basically left your mark all over her body. How do you think she feels right now?"
A deep silence filled the room.
Shin felt a headache forming.
It seemed his methods had an unintended side effect.
"...Damn it. I need to have a talk with Mikoto and Kushina. They've been a bad influence on you."
Over the next few days, Uchiha Shin made it his mission to "lecture" certain women in his circle about their questionable influence on Konan.
Though, in the end, it was debatable who actually won those arguments.
One thing was certain—he wasn't getting out of this mess anytime soon.
