I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

”Show me the results of your four months of training.”

Nagasawa said to Kakashi and the others at training ground number sixteen.

Six months ago, he had evaluated the progress of their training once, and two months later, he checked again, but there wasn’t much change.

After a rigorous training session and some reflection, Nagasawa realized that the current situation was different from before. Kakashi possessed the strength of a Kage, Might Guy could also compete with Kage-level Shinobi with the combination of his Eight Gates and Color of Arms Haki. Both Ensui Nara and Midori Inuzuka were excellent elite Jonin.

With such strength, achieving further progress was not so easy anymore. So, Nagasawa changed the evaluation schedule to once every four months.

”Hehe, I’ll go first.” Midori Inuzuka crossed her arms and walked out of the lineup with an arrogant stride. She then motioned for everyone to step back.

”Step back, so you won’t get hurt.”

”Shadow Clone Technique!” Midori Inuzuka first created two Shadow Clones, then the Shadow Clones simultaneously made hand seals.

”Inuzuka-style Beast-Human Transformation: Three-Headed, Six-Armed Wolf Form!”

A bright white light covered Midori Inuzuka, her two shadow clones, and Ashimaru.

”Three heads and six arms?” Nagasawa looked at Midori Inuzuka with a slight interest. Her imagination for the three-headed, six-armed wolf form was quite something.

After the white light dissipated, Midori Inuzuka’s completely new form was revealed.

Compared to the previous wolf form, this barely changed in in terms of height. However, the addition of two pairs of arms and two heads were quite significant.

”Hehe, presenting Three-Headed, Six-Armed Midori!” Midori Inuzuka proudly stood with her hands on her hips.

”It seems like you’re onto something here. So, what’s the difference in abilities compared to the previous werewolf form?” Nagasawa inquired.

”Of course, it’s different from before.” Midori Inuzuka took a deep breath and walked to the iron pillar used for training.

This iron pillar was made of sturdy metal that Nagasawa obtained from Golden Organization’s blacksmith. Nagasawa had everyone try it, and currently no one could completely destroy the iron pillar except for Kakashi’s Kamui.

Even Kakashi’s Armed Raikiri could only cut a part of it. Guy also used his Shigan and more or less achieved the same result.

Ensui Nara used his Shadow Technique and enhanced it with Color of Arms Haki, but he barely grazed the iron pillar.

Hadn’t it been too heavy, Nagasawa would consider using it as an armor as its defense was quite impressive.

”Wolf Lightning Hundred Slaughter!” All of Midori Inuzuka’s six paws emitted a bright blue light before she swiftly struck the iron pillar at an absurdly high speed.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Midori Inuzuka’s punches were so fast that it left behind numerous afterimages, as if dozens of punches were striking the iron pillar at the same time.

A lot of punch marks were left on the iron pillar.

Then, Midori Inuzuka demonstrated the benefits of having many hands, launching different types of attacks with each arm.

”How did you manage to do that? It’s not easy to use different attacks at the same time,” Nagasawa curiously asked. This was much more challenging than drawing a circle with one hand while drawing a square with the other.

”Of course, it’s because there are three of me now, each with its own consciousness,” Midori Inuzuka explained proudly.

The most potent point of this technique was not the fact that Midori Inuzuka had three heads but the synchronization of minds, each with its own line of thought. It was like three people fighting together.

As for Ashimaru, he was just a medium to enhance the body and increase the strength after transformation.

”I’m so amazing for being able to develop this kind of technique.” Midori Inuzuka felt proud of herself.

”You must be mistaking it for me, right? Without me, you couldn’t achieve this,” the left head suddenly retorted, thinking that it had made the most significant contribution.

”It’s me, actually.” The right head disagreed.

”Both of you quiet down, you’re just shadow clones.” Midori Inuzuka on the center reprimanded them.

”Darn it, do you want to fight, Main Body?” the left head challenged Midori Inuzuka.

”A mere Main Body dares to order me around, take this!” The right head joined in.

Nagasawa watched as Midori Inuzuka’s six arms started to brawl with each other.

Bang!

After beating each other for a while, white smoke covered them, revealing Midori Inuzuka with a blue face and a nosebleed.

”It seems like your Three-Headed, Six-Armed form still has some significant drawbacks.” Nagasawa was astonished by Midori Inuzuka’s unconventional technique and was speechless for a moment.

”It’s just a small accident. This won’t happen when I’m in a real battle!” Midori Inuzuka wiped away her nosebleed, indicating that it wasn’t a big issue.

”Just wait until I get back. I’ll use Shadow Clone Technique and give them a good beating.”

”But, you know, if you fight shadow clones, it’s like fighting yourself. The memories of the shadow clones eventually return to the main body,” Nagasawa retorted.

”Uhhh, you’re right now that I think about it.” Midori Inuzuka suddenly fell into a deep thought and came to think that Shadow Clone Technique was indeed troublesome.

”Next one, you pass.”

Following that, Kakashi and Might Guy took their turns. Although they didn’t exhibit any new abilities, their strength was steadily increasing, evident from how much damage they caused to the iron pillar.

When it came to Ensui Nara’s turn, Nagasawa didn’t immediately let him perform but asked, ”Have you figured out the solution to your problem? If you have not, we can skip this time and try again next time.”

”Thank you for providing Flying Thunder God Technique’s data and your guidance, Nagasawa-san. Although I haven’t achieved the desirable results, I’ve made some progress.” Ensui nodded.

”Is that so? Let me see.” Nagasawa gestured for Ensui to proceed.

Ensui quickly made hand seals, first using the Shadow Clone Jutsu. A part of his Shadow Clone rose, and when the shadow clone reached the iron pillar, Ensui suddenly made another hand seal. In an instant, Ensui disappeared from his original position and re-emerged in front of the iron pillar, while the shadow clone was standing where Ensui stood earlier, effectively switching places.

”So fast.” Kakashi realized that, even with his Sharingan, he couldn’t see how Ensui moved from one point to another. It was not a regular Body Flicker Technique; it had elements of space-time manipulation.

”At the moment, this is all I can manage to do—switching positions within a five-meter range. Beyond that, the failure rate gets higher,” Ensui explained.

”And it consumes a considerable amount of Chakra, so it can only be used as a trump card.”

Nagasawa patted Ensui’s shoulder and said, ”That’s more than acceptable. If you keep working hard, you might develop something remarkable.”

”Oh, by the way, do you guys know about Sage Technique?”
