🕑 Added 2021-11-04 04:53:17 +0000 UTCThe plexus seal again caused the earth to tremble, only this time a dozen thick wood pillars burst out of the soil. Following this, Shikamaru threw the chains out of the ring and thrust them into the timber structures. Naturally, the chains were not so simple, he changed them long ago with the help of fuin. At the same time, Shikamaru stood in the center of the largest fuin circle on the scroll and simply closed his eyes. At the same moment, his aura changed again, his clothes were simply torn to shreds, and the chains, as if at the behest of a heavenly law, rushed to Shikamaru's arms and legs. Even a thick layer of chain fell on his neck, also touched his chest and all other areas.
- Grrr! - after his terrible roar, a dense chakra immediately walked along the chain. Shikamaru could do nothing, she instantly went into the soil and dispersed. He could not afford to surrender so easily, which is why he used the sage regime. This could increase the risks of destabilizing natural energy, but without this regime, Shikamaru could not start imposing marks on himself, natural energy must touch each of the Ten Demonic Gates!
The pain pierced the body, Shikamaru did not just put a seal on the body, he put it on the bones, cut it into the soul and tied himself to it completely! Shikamaru continued to growl like a wild beast, while the flail madly dispelled chakra and prevented him from resisting. It was like a red-hot iron that the seals penetrated the body and finally completely merged with every particle of Shikamaru. Even with his soul!
A minute later, the guy let out a long breath and the chains immediately released him. Following, as if having lost all strength, they simply fell to the ground without moving, raising a cloud of dust.
Shikamaru fell to his knees and laughed contentedly.
- It worked! I feel ... - he was really glad, because few people in their right mind could afford to take such a seal and make it a part of themselves. Only someone strong enough could withstand all the danger of such a crazy undertaking. All this, not to mention the future threat from the Bijuu sealed in the gates!
Finally, Shikamaru caught his breath, and his excited gaze touched the calm waters of the lake. It's time to lure the turtle out of its shell!

Having restored all the chakra, Shikamaru went to the edge of the lake and folded a series of seals. He still couldn't implement Hashirama's strongest methods, which is why he was going to use a weaker version of them. In the battle with the tailed beast, he was not going to rely simply on his strongest destructive techniques, it takes a little cunning here. Although Shikamaru remembered how easily he lost to Isobu, he still suspected that it was Obito Mangeky. Therefore, even if you buy eye power now, it will not do you any good.
After a dozen hand seals, the earth trembled right under Shikamaru's feet, followed by a thick tree pillar that instantly transformed into a huge hand. Following this, Shikamaru created a number of such hands, and after he was about to cover them with metal, he decided to stop ... He had a tree dragon in stock to draw out chakra, but now with the ten-gate technique, he still wanted to capture the whole Bijuu. That is why you need to take advantage of the terrain. He dismissed the chance of successful negotiations immediately, according to rumors, Isobu is not so aggressive towards people, but still it is very doubtful that the beast will just allow itself to be sealed. To believe in such stupidity, but it will definitely not work out to agree. Therefore, it remains to be tough and do everything by force. It is necessary to show the beast who is the boss here and seal it! Ruthless, but necessary! The beast will be captured anyway, so let the first one get it!
The arms were ready to clash with water, their size exceeded a whole hundred meters, and their thickness could easily cover half of the body of the Tailed Beast. Shikamaru could control them if he used chakra again, which is why he decided to wait and prepare a fishing rod to lure the beast to the surface. Deidara used explosives at one time. Hashirama, on the other hand, probably used his arboreal abilities underwater. Shikamaru was still incapable of this, there may have been enough chakras, but not the ability to cope with the elements. In the coming year, he planned to do so, and after the exam, he began to challenge all the Kage. But for now ...
Stretching his shoulders, Shikamaru snapped his neck and lunged forward. Running as close to the coral burials as possible, he finally stopped and Byakugan tracked his target through the water column. Then the following remedy was used. Shikamaru pulled out a small steel ball from the ring, and then folded the seal and covered the ball with another metal, which instantly oxidized in air, acquiring a dark shade. But the guy did not stop there, the amount of rubidium increased at a terrifying rate and at a certain moment a giant ball of this pure metal was already rising on Shikamaru's hand. It won't take long before it starts to melt, and then troubles cannot be avoided. That is why, when he could no longer hold a huge sphere in his hands, he strained all his strength and threw the ball into the air. The dimensions of this structure turned out to be no less than a whole one-story house, one has only to imagine how heavy it is and how terrifying an explosion will happen upon contact with water! Shikamaru himself did not know, but he could not let this bomb explode before the right time. That's why...
Folding a row of hand seals, Shikamaru sucked air into his lungs and spat out a huge mass of liquid metal towards the approaching sphere. The reaction of lithium with water should be enough for the ball to sink deeper into the water. All in a second, he covered everything and froze, then Shikamaru grinned and instantly teleported to the mark on the shore, finding himself next to a dozen created hands. Following this, he folded the seals again and spat rubidium onto each of his palms, covering all of his fingers. Before he had time to finish with the last one, a terrifying explosion finally thundered!
Even Shikamaru did not expect such a reaction, a huge wave rushed towards him, towards which he spat out a fiery flame and was able to suppress most of the water. The rain stopped only after a couple of seconds, and then a terrible roar of an angry monster sounded! Finally the Three-Tails appeared!
Shikamaru knew he could think of an easier way to lure the beast out. He knew not so many techniques and came up with a minority of them. But ... How he wanted to blow something up! In addition, he wanted to master Hotei's technique, but was able to acquire only a weakened version. That is why I had to create hands in advance and cover them with alkali metal. What could be better than hitting a wet animal with such a palm? Explosion again, a very good tool! The Expanded Genome was truly amazing, the way it allowed to manipulate metals was simply an outstanding ability. Even solid techniques are not needed here, explosives are almost always at hand!
