In addition, he was the first wand maker to insist on using powerful magical materials for the wand core.
Many wand makers have abandoned the use of these powerful magical materials in pursuit of wand stability, preferring instead to choose more common magical materials.
Ordinary magical materials can be easily integrated with the staff wood as a core, while powerful magical materials become much more unpredictable in the process.
No one knows how Ollivander controlled this process.
Many wand makers covet Ollivander's exclusive secrets.
The fact that this elderly person has lived to such an advanced age without any ill effects clearly shows that they have something special about them.
After working as an apprentice at the wand shop for almost half a month, Ollivander finally revealed the secret to Chu Yang.
"Treat all the magical materials in your hands as living things, imagine that they 'breathe,' and that 'breathing' produces a unique pulsation. Grasp that, and you can easily fuse them into one."
"Only by working in this industry for a long enough time and handling enough magical materials can one have the opportunity to feel the pulse I'm talking about—"
"The reason I'm optimistic about your future in this field is not only because you're smart enough, but also because I sense something similar in your magic."
"You can use magic and this special pulsating resonance."
Chu Yang asked with a curious look, "So how exactly do we do it?"
"I don't know what to do either, after all, these are just my guesses." Ollivander took out a large amount of materials and placed them in front of Chu Yang. "Right now, we can only communicate in the most primitive way. Take the materials in your hands, wrap them with magic, and try to feel them."
"Are you sure it won't explode? Some magical materials are very reactive!" Chu Yang suspected that the old man was experimenting on him, and his eyes looked a little strange.
"As long as you don't try to fuse them together, they won't explode." Ollivander coughed and urged, "Let's get started."
Chu Yang held the magical materials in front of him in his hand, and then, as Ollivander had instructed, wrapped them in magic.
Chu Yang, who had never tried this before, truly felt a peculiar pulse.
It's like a human heart beating.
"You felt it?" Ollivander excitedly moved closer to Chu Yang and asked, "What did it feel like?"
"Heartbeat," Chu Yang replied truthfully.
"That's right. You just need to practice repeatedly to master the knack." Ollivander nodded in satisfaction. "With your talent, you'll soon meet my requirements. Next, you can try fusing the staff core and the staff wood. Once you reach that point, you'll be considered a master."
"It's just that the supply is a bit insufficient. I don't know why, but it's been hard to see unicorns lately. Phoenix tail feathers and dragon heartstrings are also hard to find. There's no point in practicing with ordinary materials—"
At this point, Ollivander suddenly became troubled.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang immediately replied, "Don't worry, I can get my hands on unicorn fur, for one thing."
Ollivander glared at him, annoyed. "Do you think unicorns are your pet cats or dogs? Unicorns may be considered relatively good-natured among magical creatures, but that doesn't mean they'll let you approach them easily!"
"Females are fine, but if a male appears near a unicorn, it will run away immediately. Even if you had two legs, you still couldn't catch it!"
Chu Yang was too lazy to argue with an old man, especially one who was so old.
He pulled an empty suitcase from under the cabinet, and while Ollivander turned around to tidy up his wand case, he Apparated and disappeared from the wand shop.
The next second, Chu Yang appeared in the Forbidden Forest. Not far away was a towering tree, and under the tree, a group of unicorns were playing. The scene looked peaceful and serene.
Upon discovering Chu Yang, the unicorns did not scatter and flee; instead, they charged towards him in droves.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yang was surrounded by a bunch of unicorns.
The unicorns nuzzled against him affectionately, just like pet cats and dogs.
If a fantasy animal expert were to witness this scene, their eyes would likely pop out of their sockets.
"Alright, alright, stop rubbing against me." Chu Yang used his hand to push the unicorns' heads away, trying to avoid their drool. "Who among you has been losing a lot of hair lately? Help me out, I need some fur."
As soon as the words were spoken, the unicorns jumped and bounced as if they had been electrocuted, trying to shake off some fur.
Chu Yang didn't even have time to say anything before he quickly lowered his head to pick up the feathers.
"Where has that kid run off to again?"
Ollivander searched the warehouse for a long time before finding some unicorn hair, only to discover that Chu Yang was nowhere to be found when he came out.
I suddenly got a little angry.
"Mr. Ollivander, were you looking for me?" Chu Yang suddenly appeared next to Ollivander and handed him the briefcase.
"What is this?" Ollivander took the box from Chu Yang's hand with a puzzled look. It was heavy and quite substantial.
"Unicorn fur," Chu Yang replied.
"I don't know where you got this whole box of fur. I'll say it again, unicorn fur isn't that easy to come by—"
Before Ollivander could finish speaking, a soft, luminous light emanated from the half-open suitcase, as bright as moonlight. He was very familiar with this light, so without thinking, he closed the suitcase.
He swallowed hard and asked cautiously:
"Do you really keep a bunch of unicorns at home?"
Naruto World.
The "Tailed Beast Capture Project" is nearing its end. Apart from the Nine-Tails, whose exact location is still unknown, and the Eight-Tails, which escaped capture several times, all the other tailed beasts have been successfully sealed.
The plan, which should have gone smoothly, took an unexpected turn.
Despite Konoha's efforts to keep the capture of the Tailed Beasts a secret, it was eventually discovered by ninja forces from other countries.
Konoha's strength already surpassed that of other ninja villages, and now the news of the captured tailed beast has spread, causing widespread panic and fear.
Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire couldn't withstand the pressure and sent someone to inquire whether the news was true. Helpless, Hashirama Senju had no choice but to personally step forward and explain, making the idea of distributing the Tailed Beasts public.
For this reason, the Five Kage Summit had to be held ahead of schedule, with the location chosen as the Land of Lightning.
When Hashirama Senju left, Tobirama Senju took over all the duties of the Hokage, while Izuna Uchiha, the head of the Anbu, accompanied Hashirama Senju to the Land of Lightning for a meeting as his bodyguard.
Hashirama Senju, as always, demonstrated his trust in the Uchiha clan.
With Izuna Uchiha gone, the command of the village's ANBU was left vacant, especially the ANBU squads responsible for tracking the tailed beasts, which were now without a leader.
This unit is usually under the personal command of Uchiha Izuna.
After careful consideration, Tobirama Senju decided to hand over temporary command of the Anbu to Madara Uchiha.
But Grandpa Ban refused without hesitation.
"I'm only responsible for fighting the tailed beasts; I don't care about anything else."
Grandpa Ban firmly refused the offer and became increasingly indifferent to the idea.
Now it was Tobirama Senju's turn to have a headache.
Konoha has a decent pool of talent, but it's difficult to find suitable candidates to deal with the tailed beasts, especially since even Izuna Uchiha managed to let the Eight-Tails escape several times.
After much thought, Tobirama Senju finally came up with a whimsical little rascal.
Ninja Academy.
Chu Yang is in class.
Today's lesson was intensive training in ninja tool throwing. Chu Yang took the students to an outdoor shooting range to practice with two common throwing weapons: shuriken and kunai.
The third generation still showed outstanding performance in their childhood. Despite their mischievous nature, their talent was undeniable, and they ranked among the top in all aspects.
In contrast, Danzo Shimura, who was equally mischievous, had much worse grades than the Third Hokage and was only at the lower-middle level in the class.
Koharu Utatane and Enoki Mito both performed better than him.
Just as Chu Yang was about to scold him and get him to focus, a teacher suddenly walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"The teacher wants to see me?" Chu Yang looked surprised, but still put down his work.
After handing over the remaining lessons to the substitute teacher, Chu Yang hurriedly went to the Hokage Building. During the days when the First Hokage was away, Tobirama Senju spent almost 24 hours a day there handling official business.
"Teacher." Chu Yang pushed open the door and immediately saw Tobirama Senju, who was bent over processing documents.
"Oh, you've arrived." Tobirama Senju exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Yang, then pulled a scroll from the pile of documents beside him and handed it to Chu Yang. "Come and take a look at this first."
Chu Yang took the scroll from his hand, opened it, and read it carefully. After reading only a line or two, he frowned. "Is this information about the tailed beasts? And the previous mission records?"
"That's right." Tobirama Senju nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "This was originally supposed to be given to Izuna Uchiha."
But as you know, he's not here right now.
"So, this job is mine?" Chu Yang looked troubled. Dealing with mischievous kids was much easier and safer than dealing with tailed beasts.
"Let's get ready and set off."
Tobirama Senju's nonchalant attitude nearly drove Chu Yang into a rage.
Is this even human language?
Those are the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails, considered top-tier combat power in this world, and they can die in an instant.
"it is good."
Despite his complaints, Chu Yang did not refuse. Tobirama Senju must have had his reasons for choosing him to take on the task, and Chu Yang himself was also very suitable for it.
Chu Yang's quick agreement brought a smile to Tobirama Senju's face. He asked, "Aren't you afraid of the danger?"
Chu Yang laughed and said, "This is not as dangerous as the war between the Senju and Uchiha clans."
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; the terror of the human heart far surpasses that of a tailed beast.
"Actually, I hoped you could take over this from the very beginning. If you can complete it successfully, your prestige in the village will be greatly enhanced. It's not too late to get involved now."
"The plan to weaken the Uchiha clan was successful, but at the same time, we should also continuously reduce their influence in Konoha."
Giving up the covert operations is a risky move; we must be constantly vigilant.
Tobirama Senju reminded him, "After this mission, until Izuna Uchiha and your older brother return from the Land of Lightning, you will temporarily be in charge of the Anbu. During this time, do something, understand?"
Chu Yang nodded. He understood the unspoken meaning behind Tobirama Senju's words: he wanted him to familiarize himself with the operations of the Anbu in advance so that he could prepare for the future.
Afterwards, Tobirama Senju tested Chu Yang's progress in ninjutsu before letting him leave.
The following day, Chu Yang led three squads, totaling 12 members of the Anbu, and left Konoha.
Their target was the Eight-Tails, and according to the mission log, the Eight-Tails was last seen at the border between the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Fire.
Chu Yang deduced that the Eight-Tails should be within the territory of the Land of Waterfall.
The Land of Waterfall is a special country. Its geographical location is not good. It is surrounded by four countries, so whenever a war breaks out, it will be attacked from both sides.
If it weren't for the numerous waterfalls within the country, and the fact that many settlements are hidden within them, the people here would probably have a very difficult time living.
But this country in such a terrible situation had its own ninja village earlier than other small countries!
It's important to understand that in the early days when the five great nations had just established their ninja villages, many nations couldn't muster enough ninjas to build them.
The ninja village in the Land of Waterfalls is similar to other communal settlements, hidden behind a waterfall and in a state of seclusion.
Chu Yang felt that they were somewhat sad.
After entering the Land of Waterfalls, Konoha's Anbu did not conceal their movements much, despite the fact that the Anbu had only recently been established.
Aside from the fact that their business skills were not yet proficient, the main reason stemmed from their contempt for his abilities.
The war between the two major clans had just ended, and most Konoha ninjas still upheld the value of respecting the strong, especially the Uchiha clan.
As long as it doesn't affect the mission, Chu Yang has no intention of disciplining or educating his subordinates. Falling behind means being vulnerable to attack; if you're not good enough, don't blame others for not giving you face—this is an eternal truth.
The land area of the Land of Waterfall is not large; at the speed of a ninja, it would take at most a week to traverse the entire land.
To save time, Chu Yang arranged for three secret service teams to act separately. Their main task was to locate the tailed beasts, not to fight them head-on. As long as they were careful, they would not be in any danger.
This plan was opposed by some team members.
"Lord Yang, before the operation began, Lord Tobirama repeatedly emphasized that ensuring your safety was our top priority, even more important than capturing the Tailed Beasts!"
Although he understood the teacher's good intentions, Chu Yang felt that this order was a case of being overly concerned and making a mistake.
"If protecting me is more important than capturing the Tailed Beasts, then what's the point of us coming here? Are we just here for tourism?" Chu Yang said in a deep voice.
The team members looked at each other, and finally someone stepped forward and said, "We must leave some people behind to protect your safety."
Chu Yang gave him a deep look and asked coldly, "What's your name?"
The team members felt a chill run down their spines, then looked at the speaker with pity. A flicker of panic flashed in the speaker's eyes.
Seemingly afraid that Chu Yang would see him as a thorn in the side for defying his superior, he then said with a firm gaze, "Uchiha Yuto."
"Yang Dou—" Chu Yang's indifferent face suddenly showed a slight smile, and he said in an approving tone, "Then I'll trouble you to stay. The rest of you, disperse as originally planned."
Uchiha Yuto revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.
The members of the other two teams were taken aback, and then realized that Chu Yang was testing them, and they immediately showed regret.
Everyone realized one thing.
This guy named Yang Dou will definitely be given an important position when he gets back!
"Look behind the waterfall!"
After hearing Chu Yang's last words of advice, the team members scattered with jealous expressions, quickly disappearing from Chu Yang's sight.
All they can do now is find the whereabouts of the Tailed Beasts as soon as possible.
Only in this way can we turn the tide.
Once only Yang Dou was left by his side, Chu Yang began to release his Observation Haki to probe the Eight-Tails' aura.
As one of the top combat forces in the Naruto world, the Eight-Tails possesses an extremely powerful aura. Even if it tries to conceal its presence, it is still very noticeable under the perception of Observation Haki.
Two days later, late at night.
Inside a cave within a massive waterfall, Chu Yang sensed an incredibly powerful aura that materialized in his consciousness into a colossal creature with the head of a bull and the body of an octopus.
Eight-tailed bull ghost!
"Found it." Chu Yang turned to Yang Dou beside him and said, "Notify the others to come and meet me here, and then send the message back to the village."
Looking at the enormous waterfall before him, which resembled an inverted Milky Way, Yang Dou shivered.
With some doubt, he used the secret service's special communication methods to send out the message.
"Lord Yang, how did you determine that the Eight-Tails is here?" Yang Dou asked cautiously.
"Intuition," Chu Yang said, and then fell silent.
Yang Dou now just wanted to slap himself twice. If he had known better than to ask a few more questions, he wouldn't have sent the message out so rashly. What would he do if Madara Uchiha came?
Chu Yang didn't notice Yang Dou's regretful expression.
The eight tails inside the cave seemed to move, and the water droplets splashing from the entire waterfall suddenly became more intense.
"Pay attention to controlling your breathing and chakra."
As soon as Chu Yang finished speaking, the waterfall in front of him seemed to have a curtain drawn back, revealing a large blank area.
Behind the waterfall stood a huge shadow.
Yang Dou got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Chu Yang in disbelief, and at this moment, he finally became convinced.
The Eight-Tails did not notice them.
Instead, it took advantage of the moonlight to leave the cave where it was currently staying, a nameless unease urging it to leave this place.
With just a slight turn, the lake beneath the Eight-Tailed Fox suddenly surged with towering waves, submerging the surrounding ground and nearly reaching the location where Chu Yang and the others were hiding.
The eight-tailed creature looked around indifferently, turned around, and disappeared into the boundless night.
As the Eight-Tails' figure gradually blurred, Yang Dou said impatiently, "Lord Yang, let's chase after them!"
Chu Yang remained motionless, coldly staring ahead. "Wait a little longer."
Just as Yang Dou was about to offer some advice, the lake not far away began to ripple again, and shadows reappeared in the darkness. Upon seeing this, Yang Dou immediately shut his mouth.
The Eight-Tails circled around and this time left in the completely opposite direction.
"Was it trying to lure us out just now?" Yangdou stared incredulously at the departing figure of the Eight-Tails.
"After being chased for so long, even the stupidest person should be on guard."
Chu Yang frowned and glanced at him. "How did you get selected for the Dark Division?"
Yang Dou scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "As for combat—I'm more confident."
Chu Yang's expression improved slightly.
Relying on the power of his Observation Haki, Chu Yang stayed outside the Eight-Tails' perception range, closely following behind it.
Yang Dou acts as a liaison, responsible for updating others on the Eight-Tails' movements in real time.
Another day has passed.
The eight-tailed beast seemed a little tired and did not continue forward. Instead, it found a valley, slowly walked into a deep pool, and sat down with its huge body.
The deep pool couldn't completely contain the Eight-Tails' body. It sat inside, with half of its body exposed, just like an ordinary person lying in a bathtub. The scene looked somewhat comical.
Lying in the deep pool, the Eight-Tails leaned against the mountain behind it and gradually closed its eyes.
By this time, all members of the Dark Guard squad had gathered around Chu Yang. Seeing that the time was ripe, he ordered, "Set up the barrier!"
After receiving their orders, everyone vanished from Chu Yang's sight in an instant.
Three teams, totaling 12 people, surrounded Yawei from 12 different directions.
The 12 people simultaneously formed hand seals, and after a moment, 12 different beams of light shot into the sky, then converged into a polygonal rhombus-shaped barrier.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Lord Uchiha Madara."
A dark figure leaped down from the waterfall and slowly walked towards the Eight-Tailed Fox as Chu Yang spoke.
Madara Uchiha chuckled softly, "Well done, kid. No wonder Hashirama and Tobirama valued you so much. If you were a member of the Uchiha clan, I might have taken you as my disciple."
Madara Uchiha's powerful chakra instantly awakened the Eight-Tails, which had just fallen asleep. The Eight-Tails got up and let out a deafening roar, causing the earth to shake and the sea to churn, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Chu Yang suddenly realized a problem—he shouldn't have stayed here. The aftershocks of the battle between Madara Uchiha and the Eight-Tails could easily destroy everything around them.
Failed!
Without even having time to appreciate the highest level of combat in the Naruto world, Chu Yang moved away from the battlefield as quickly as possible. The next second, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him from behind.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Chu Yang turned around, but the blazing fire blinded him, the flames threatening to reach the sky.
He felt a chill run down his spine and, not daring to delay any longer, ran at full speed to the edge of the barrier.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly formed hand seals, creating barriers around him.
[Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall]
Seemingly feeling that one tree barrier wasn't enough, Chu Yang continuously channeled chakra, and soon layer upon layer of protection rose up around him, like towering mountains.
On the other side, Madara's "Great Fire Annihilation" engulfed the Eight-Tails, which was not to be outdone. It used its huge tail to create waves that continued to surge and eventually evolved into a massive tsunami.
The fire and the tsunami collided, and the high-temperature water vapor suddenly erupted and rolled in. The trees and flowers on the surrounding cliffs withered and turned yellow the moment they came into contact with the water vapor.
Madara puffed out his chest, blew gently, and the breeze from his mouth spread out, forming a strong hurricane that dispersed all the water vapor in front of him.
As expected, the first tree boundary was destroyed by the high temperature.
Madara glanced back at Chu Yang, then looked up and laughed, "I was planning to warm up a bit, but it seems I don't have much time to play with you. Let's end this battle soon."
After saying that, Madara directly summoned the complete Susanoo. An energy giant wearing armor rose from the ground, facing the Eight-Tails head-on, its power in no way inferior.
The Eight-Tailed Gyūki seemed to sense the threat and roared again, its blood-red maw opening wide as dark red chakra gathered into a sphere.
Tailed Beast Ball!
Seeing this, Chu Yang quickly erected several more tree-lined barriers.
Having already fought against the Tailed Beasts many times, Madara knew the power of the Tailed Beast Ball very well. Susanoo's four arms were fully extended, and the long sword in his hand was ready for battle.
Buzzing heart~
A suffocating vibration came from the air; it was the sound of the Eight-Tails compressing the Tailed Beast Ball.
The 12 elite members of the Dark Guard who were maintaining the barrier outside were all struggling to breathe under the terrifying, oppressive force.
Suddenly, the shaking stopped.
The Tailed Beast Ball was spat out by the Eight-Tails.
It glides through the air like a cannonball, tearing through the air with a whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, he flew to Madara Uchiha's side.
Susanoo simultaneously slashed down with its longsword, striking the Tailed Beast Ball fiercely. The violent energy fluctuations swept around like a tsunami, and the diamond-shaped barrier began to crack under the shock of this power, like a mirror about to shatter.
At that moment, Susanoo unleashed a terrifying power, using its longsword to slice the Tailed Beast Ball into four pieces, which flew off in different directions.
One of the petals flew towards Chu Yang's location!
Damn it, how could this be an accidental injury?
Chu Yang watched as the Tailed Beast Ball, as big as a football field, flew towards him, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
When the Tailed Beast Ball landed, the dozen or so defenses he had painstakingly set up vanished in an instant.
Fortunately, these tree-like barriers also helped him block the residual power of the Tailed Beast Ball, preventing him from suffering any harm.
When Chu Yang opened his eyes again, all he could see was a devastated land.
The waterfall, the green hills, the trees, the flowers and grass—all have disappeared.
"This is almost as powerful as a mushroom bomb—" Chu Yang swallowed hard. No wonder the Tailed Beasts are powerful enough to influence wars between nations. How many ninjas could be wiped out in an instant by this Tailed Beast Ball?
Except for the incomplete Tailed Beast Ball that landed on Chu Yang's side and was blocked, the other Tailed Beast Balls struck the barrier.
The intense impact caused the entire barrier to tremble and crack, clearly indicating that it could not hold for much longer.
The fully-formed Susanoo and the Eight-Tails Gyūki engaged in close combat, creating a tremendous commotion. These two behemoths would have been a catastrophic disaster if placed in any city.
"We need to find a way to stop the Eight-Tails' actions after the barrier breaks, otherwise none of these three ANBU squads will survive."
The barrier used by the Dark Division is not small in scale, and it will definitely suffer a backlash if it is forcibly broken.
In severe cases, it may cause death or injury, but even in less extreme cases, it will render most people incapacitated.
Chu Yang's Wood Release has a strong restraining effect on tailed beasts and can play a surprise role, but this also means that Chu Yang has to take the risk of intervening in the battle between Uchiha Madara and the Eight-Tails.
The risk factor is rising linearly.
"Yoto is a good guy. It would be a shame if he died here. Besides, my teacher wants me to train trusted men in the Anbu. He's a good choice—"
Chu Yang pondered the matter while making thorough preparations.
As the battle between Susanoo and the Eight-Tails intensified, the barrier could no longer withstand the aftershocks of their fight and collapsed with a loud cracking sound.
The loss of control over chakra turned into a storm that swept over everyone, severely injuring all 12 members of the Dark Force and rendering them completely incapacitated.
Without the restraints, the Eight-Tailed Gyūki became even more unrestrained, as if it had entered a berserk state.
Conversely, without the barrier, Madara Uchiha became the one with limited freedom of movement, as the aftershocks of their battle could affect the incapacitated members of the Anbu at any time.
What should we do?
Madara Uchiha, who was pondering a countermeasure, suddenly caught a glimpse of Chu Yang walking towards them out of the corner of his eye.
What is he doing?
A hint of doubt flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes, then he suddenly realized something and dispelled the longsword in his hand.
In its berserk state, the Eight-Tails swept all its tails toward Susanoo, tightly wrapping them around its body, and tried to drag Susanoo toward itself.
Susanoo's four arms each grabbed one of the eight tails of the Eight-Tails, and the two began to wrestle.
In terms of power, the tailed beasts ultimately had a slight advantage, and Susanoo was slowly dragged away.
Just then, Chu Yang arrived at a short distance from the Eight-Tails, and the Eight-Tails, caught in the fierce battle, failed to notice Chu Yang approaching.
Chu Yang began to form hand seals.
He intended to use sealing techniques from Wood Release to restrict the Eight-Tails' movement. Of course, this was only a restriction; to achieve the full sealing effect, it would require Hashirama Senju himself to perform the technique.
It has to be Hashirama Senju in Sage Mode.
As Chu Yang completed the hand seals, a huge red torii gate materialized above the eight-tailed creature's head, plummeted rapidly, and landed precisely on its eight tails.
This is the Wood Release sealing technique Myojinmon, specifically designed to seal tailed beasts!
The Myojinmon, which was originally meant to be performed in Sage Mode, was slightly modified by Chu Yang during his time at the school, allowing it to be performed even without using Sage Chakra.
The surging tailed beast chakra on the Eight-Tails suddenly stopped, like a car on a highway suddenly slamming on the brakes.
The eight strong tails suddenly went limp!
With Chu Yang's current level of Wood Release, even without having mastered Sage Mode, he can still exert some restraint on the Eight-Tails.
That's already extremely difficult.
"A perfect opportunity!" Madara Uchiha let out a hearty laugh, and his Susanoo suddenly exerted its power, pulling the Eight-Tails close to him.
He broke free from the tail's restraints, and chakra gathered in his hand once more, revealing a longsword.
Under Madara Uchiha's control, four longswords simultaneously slashed at the Eight-Tails' tail!
The sound of muscles tearing rang out, and the eight tails fell to the ground in response, the eight tails howling in pain to the sky!
Madara Uchiha pressed his advantage, giving the Eight-Tails no time to catch its breath, his crimson Sharingan fixed on the Eight-Tails in its extremely weakened state.
After a moment, the Eight-Tails stopped struggling, and its eyes gradually became numb and empty.
Chu Yang understood that the Eight-Tails had already been controlled by the Sharingan, and that Madara Uchiha would seal it away and hand it over to a suitable person to become a Jinchūriki.
With the dust settled from the great battle, the members of the Dark Force, after a period of rest, regained their ability to operate.
The group approached Madara Uchiha and, without saying a word, knelt down one after another, their faces behind the masks revealing expressions of shame.
"Lord Madara, it's all our fault for failing to maintain the barrier, causing you a lot of trouble in your battle!"
"Lord Madara, please punish us for our incompetence!"
Apologetic words filled the air, but the aloof Madara found the group of guys in front of him noisy and said impatiently, "With abilities like yours, you're allowed to stay in the Anbu? The thought that Konoha's safety depends on guys like you makes me really uneasy."
Upon hearing this, the 12 members of the Dark Army lowered their heads even further. Chu Yang felt that if Ban Ye continued talking, they would have to bury themselves alive in the ground.
"You should really thank Senju Yo. If he hadn't stopped the Eight-Tails' movements in time, at least half of you would be corpses!"
After saying that, Madara snorted coldly, turned to look at Chu Yang, and finally a smile appeared on his indifferent face. "If I'm not mistaken, that ninjutsu just now should be the Myojinmon that Hashirama developed not long ago. When did he teach you it?"
Chu Yang smiled and gave a vague explanation, saying, "The Hokage didn't teach me; I learned it on my own."
He didn't even know the exact time when Hashirama Senju learned Sage Mode, so he could only give a rough estimate.
Fortunately, Madara had already heard of Chu Yang's talent, so he didn't doubt his statement.
Madara asked curiously, "Hashirama's Myojinmon requires a special state to activate, but when you used it just now, it seemed to break that restriction. Was it a modification that Tobirama Senju made for you?"
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It wasn't the teacher; I made some of the adjustments myself."
Upon hearing this, Madara scrutinized Chu Yang for a while, a strange expression appearing on his face.
"If I could, I'd love to snatch you away from the Senju clan—"
After successfully completing the plan to capture the Eight-Tails, Chu Yang led the Anbu team back to Konoha for rest and recuperation.
Madara, who returned to the village first, handed over the sealed Eight-Tails to Tobirama Senju for disposal.
At this point, most of the tailed beasts have been sealed away by Konoha, and only the Nine-Tails remains unaccounted for.
After this operation, Chu Yang gained recognition within the Dark Division, and his reputation gradually spread.
A group of Anbu members, led by Yang Dou, began to cultivate a relationship with Chu Yang. With the help of Root, which Tobirama Senju had secretly established, the process of building up power within the Anbu went more smoothly than Chu Yang had anticipated.
The Dark Division's operations are progressing smoothly, but for Chu Yang, capturing the Nine-Tailed Fox is the main event.
Since the Anbu squad had not performed as effectively in their previous direct confrontation with the Eight-Tails, Madara Uchiha suggested that they withdraw from the operation to capture the Nine-Tails.
In other words, capturing the Nine-Tails became a matter for Chu Yang and Madara Uchiha alone.
Chu Yang was flattered and overwhelmed by the kindness shown to him by Madara.
But he was reluctant in his heart; the scene of the Tailed Beast Ball destroying the world was still vivid in his mind.
Honestly, if you get hit by one of those things, you might not even be able to find your ashes.
Therefore, Chu Yang expressed strong opposition to Tobirama Senju.
Faced with Chu Yang's resistance, Tobirama Senju could not force the issue, and the plan to capture the Nine-Tails was temporarily shelved.
Demon Slayer: World of Demons.
After completing numerous demon-hunting missions, Chu Yang fully mastered the Sun Breathing Concentration - Normal state. Judging solely from the level of his breathing technique, Chu Yang was already a Pillar-level swordsman.
Of course, in terms of actual combat strength, Chu Yang far surpasses the highest level in this world. Even if Yoriichi Tsugikuni were reborn, it would be difficult for him to gain an advantage.
At this moment, if Kibu Muzan dared to appear in front of Chu Yang, he would be facing a swordsman who was many times more terrifying than Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
During this period, Chu Yang was slaying evil spirits almost day and night, and the number had reached nearly 50.
This made him a household name within the entire Demon Slayer Corps, making him the most sought-after rookie swordsman.
Even Kagaya Ubuyashiki is considering whether to promote him to the Pillar level.
Chu Yang's rapid rise not only attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also caught the eye of Muzan. However, because Chu Yang had never used Sun Breathing while hunting demons, Muzan was only somewhat curious about him.
Not much attention will be paid to him.
But this doesn't mean that others don't care about Chu Yang's performance.
"I heard from the other demons that the newcomer's physical abilities are incredibly strong, almost comparable to ours. I don't believe it, so I want to give it a try," said Akaza, the Upper Moon Three.
His tone had a condescending quality, as if he were looking down on Chu Yang from the clouds, regarding him as an ant.
During the Twelve Ghost Months, all the ghosts share the same thought: in their minds, ghosts are the manifestation of human evolution, while humans themselves are a race that has been eliminated by nature.
"I'm also very curious about who could hunt down so many ghosts in such a short time. If you find him, please let me know so I can watch the battle."
Doma, the Upper Moon Two, covered his mouth with his fan and chuckled softly.
Akaza didn't even glance at him, her face full of disdain.
His disdain for Doma wasn't something that happened overnight.
Akaza enjoys battling strong opponents and becomes even stronger when facing stronger ones. Therefore, he disapproves of Doma, who spends his days hunting women and children, believing that Doma lacks the dignity of a demon.
After Upper Moon Two and Upper Moon Three expressed their interest in Chu Yang, in the eyes of the other ghosts, Chu Yang was already a dead man and had no value to them.
Even Muzan, the Demon Dancer, thought so.
Chu Yang was unaware that he had been targeted by Akaza and Douma. He had just completed a mission and was on his way to the Butterfly Mansion.
During his intense hunt for evil spirits, Chu Yang rarely returned to the temple where he and Xingming of Beiming Island had trained together.
The reason is simple: he doesn't have time to cook, and he's too lazy to cook. Hisayuu Gyomei often has to go out to patrol the movements of the demons, so he's the only one left in the temple.
Rather than spending his time alone in the dilapidated temple, Chu Yang figured it would be better to come to the Butterfly House for meals and use it as a place for his injuries to recuperate.
The food at Butterfly House is delicious and nutritious, and the portions are especially large, making it worthy of Chu Yang's utmost respect.
The Butterfly Mansion also welcomed Chu Yang. Almost every wounded person there regarded Chu Yang as an idol. After all, apart from him, very few people in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps could kill such a large number of demons in a short period of time.
Besides admiration, many novice swordsmen humbly seek guidance from Chu Yang, learning a great deal from him in both combat experience and swordsmanship.
Makomo, who was recuperating at the Butterfly Mansion, regained some of her mobility.
She didn't want to stay in bed all the time, so she offered some help in the Butterfly Mansion, relieving Shinobu Kocho's pressure as Kanae's assistant.
Her teacher, Urokodaki Sakonji, has never visited the Butterfly Mansion.
Makomo was waiting for him to come see her.
Chu Yang pushed open the door of the Butterfly Mansion and ran into Kanae Butterfly, who was about to leave. The two met face to face.
Kanae is as beautiful as ever, with an elegant and gentle demeanor in every gesture.
"Where are you going, Kanae-senpai?" Chu Yang looked at her curiously. Not long ago, Kanae had told him to address her as a senior and not to call her "sir" in a rigid way.
"It's you." Kanae smiled gently. "I heard you've slain quite a few demons recently. At this rate..."
Next time we meet, you might end up like me, nicknamed "Pillar."
"That doesn't matter. Whether I become a pillar or not, it won't stop me from slaying ghosts." Chu Yang smiled, then continued, "You still haven't said where you're going?"
"Of course it's for carrying out missions!" Kanae sighed. "I have to treat the wounded and go on missions. Sometimes I think about it and I'm so busy. If this keeps up, I might have to retire early."
Chu Yang knew that Kanae was just putting on an act; in reality, she enjoyed her current state more than anyone else, but he was too lazy to call her out on it.
Most members of the Demon Slayer Corps complain verbally, but their determination to kill demons is incredibly strong.
"Then I wish you a safe journey!"
"Thanks."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two passed each other, but after only a few steps, Chu Yang suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation and turned around abruptly.
What came into view was Kanae's slowly walking figure, looking so fragile, like a willow catkin in the wind, ready to be destroyed by the storm at any moment.
Chu Yang felt as if a large stone was blocking his heart, causing him an indescribable awkwardness.
Watching Kanae Butterfly walk away alone, Chu Yang had a bad feeling and couldn't help but blurt out, "Senior, if you're bored, I can go with you."
Kanae paused, turned around in surprise, seemingly not expecting Chu Yang to say such a thing, but immediately, a playful smile appeared on her face.
She looked at Chu Yang with a half-smile.
Chu Yang didn't know why he said those words so inexplicably. He scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
To everyone's surprise, Kanae smiled and said, "It is indeed a bit boring to carry out a mission alone—"
