Chapter 150: Inyo Emerges
🕑 Added 2024-06-25 19:59:54 +0000 UTC"I’m going to kill you!"
"I really am going to kill you!!"
Funato Seika's screams were wild and unrestrained. With Natsuhane nowhere in sight, she could no longer contain her rage. Just as she was about to command a pufferfish to leap from the sea and smash into the buildings on the shore, a crisp voice came from a distance:
"Are you Funato Arame's sister?"
Natsuhane felt a twinge of disappointment. Funato Seika looked like a mere child, no more than twelve or thirteen years old. He had hoped to bring her into his fold to bear children, but she was clearly still a child herself.
"What a pity," he thought. "I’ll just have to keep her around until she grows up."
"You’re so small. Are you weaned yet? Here to avenge your brothers?"
"And you must be Natsuhane?" Seika's eyes were full of fury as she glared at the man who taunted her from the shore. Her cute face puffed up in anger. "You may be handsome, but you’re a cruel and cold-hearted monster!"
"Hey, little girl, have you got it all wrong?" Natsuhane said with a bemused expression. "Your brothers came to cause trouble in Sea Country. I was just defending myself. They got what they deserved."
"I don’t care who started it! Blood must be repaid with blood, and you have to die! And don’t call me little girl. My name is Funato Seika. If we’re talking age, I’m probably older than you!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Natsuhane's interest was piqued. "How old are you, exactly?"
"Why does it matter? You're as good as dead, so why do you need to know?" Seika snapped, waving her hand and sending the giant pufferfish hurtling towards Natsuhane.
The crowd watched in shock as the enormous pufferfish leapt from the water, their mouths agape at the sight. Most of them were fishermen who had never seen such massive creatures before. Just one of these could make their quarterly earnings.
"Natsuhane-sama, please capture these puffers alive! They’ll fetch a good price!" someone shouted.
Natsuhane's power was well-known, and the crowd had full confidence in his ability to handle the situation.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. A powerful force caused the sea to tremble violently. The pufferfish hesitated, sensing an overwhelming presence.
"What’s happening? Attack him now!" Seika commanded, her frustration mounting.
"This feeling… Could it be…?"
Natsuhane's face lit up with joy as he recognized the familiar aura. It was Inyo, just awakening.
"Looks like I won’t have to deal with this myself," he thought. "Inyo will handle it."
Biting his finger, Natsuhane performed the summoning jutsu. "Summoning Jutsu!"
A cloud of smoke appeared, and from within it came a thunderous, yet endearing voice.
"Master, I'm so hungry~"
As the smoke cleared, a gigantic woman with butterfly wings emerged. The giantess dwarfed the enormous pufferfish, making them look like mere snacks in comparison.
Natsuhane chuckled. "Hungry as always, Inyo. Just woke up and already thinking about food."
Inyo smiled sheepishly. "Hehe, I can't help it, Master. You don’t mind, do you~?"
The crowd gaped in awe at the giantess, their jaws dropping.
"My goodness, look at the size of her…" someone whispered.
"Indeed, she’s massive…" another agreed.
Sea Star was the first to react, shouting, "Everyone, cover your eyes! Clearly, she belongs to Natsuhane-sama! No one should look!"
Reluctantly, the crowd obeyed, using their hands to shield their eyes while grumbling.
Sea Star scolded, "You don’t understand! This is for your own good. Natsuhane-sama has no fear; he even married a snake woman. What’s a giantess to him?"
Seika was equally stunned, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"A giant summoning beast? This woman is enormous!"
Inyo's sudden appearance threw Seika into a state of disarray. "Damn it! If my brothers couldn’t defeat him, this must be why!"
"Attack, puffers! Overwhelm her with numbers!" Seika commanded.
The pufferfish, still trembling, reluctantly advanced.
Natsuhane pointed to the approaching puffers. "There you go, Inyo. Breakfast is served."
"Yay, so many cute little puffers~" Inyo's eyes sparkled as she scooped up several puffers and began eating them, ignoring their spines.
The remaining pufferfish bit at her, but their teeth couldn’t penetrate her skin.
Seika cursed under her breath. "Damn it! Her skin looks soft but it's tough as steel!"
Realizing her pufferfish were no match, Seika decided to take matters into her own hands. While Inyo was distracted, she nocked an arrow infused with chakra, aiming for Inyo's head.
With a swift release, the arrow sped towards its target, but Natsuhane only smirked, not moving to intervene.
Inyo's keen eyes caught the arrow just before it hit. She caught it between her teeth, pulling it out like a toothpick. "Oh, a chakra toothpick~ Delicious! Is there more?"
Seika was left speechless, her plan in shambles.
