Then, Minato curiously stared at the Nine-Tails and asked a question, "By the way, the Nine-Tails is a chakra-based creature, and it hasn't eaten anything for a long time. Theoretically, the Large Intestine Taste Bud Technique shouldn't affect it, right?"
Uchiha Kai nodded. "Theoretically, that's true. But, its chakra is highly corrosive."
Minato and the secretly eavesdropping Kushina both looked over with curiosity.
Uchiha Kai continued, "As a chakra-based creature, the Nine-Tails actually has a structure inside that simulates that of normal biological organs. For example, the ninja from the Land of Lightning, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, after being swallowed by it, ended up eating the Nine-Tails' own flesh inside its stomach, forcing the Nine-Tails to vomit them out."
"This proves that the Nine-Tails has internal organs, even if they're chakra-formed. But sensory-wise, they feel incredibly real."
"This means my Large Intestine Taste Buds Technique can be activated."
"Once it's activated, the taste buds that grow will directly feel the Nine-Tails' aggressive, corrosive chakra, and that feeling is quite intense. You should know, my Large Intestine Taste Buds Technique grows very sensitive taste buds, and since they're not originally part of the body, they have a rejection response."
"This causes the Nine-Tails to experience the shock of its chakra being constantly eroded by the taste buds, and because of the high sensitivity, that feeling is much stronger than if Kushina herself were directly experiencing the Nine-Tails' chakra erosion."
"Also... I suspect that under this erosion, the Nine-Tails is also feeling the sharp burn of being forced to eat super spicy devil peppers, and the sensation from the taste buds is much more intense than anything the mouth could experience."
"So, do you still think it's strange that the Nine-Tails is howling in agony?"
Kushina and Minato quickly shook their heads, looking at Uchiha Kai as though he were a devil, because this technique was truly extreme.
Just listening to the description, they could already feel a wave of phantom pain and spiciness hit them, making them both swallow instinctively.
However, Uchiha Kai didn't seem satisfied and continued calmly, "But this technique has its flaws. It doesn't work on beings without a 'stomach,' or creatures whose biological structure is different from normal, like those without a large intestine."
"So, I'm trying to improve it. My goal is to make enemies grow a large intestine, even if they don't have one, and even if the intestine is empty, I want it to automatically produce waste. Once I succeed, I'll try again to make the Nine-Tails truly experience the sensation of tasting waste with a taste bud as long as a large intestine."
"Furthermore, I plan to make it so that while the taste buds grow inside the intestine, they also grow many eyeballs and even nasal tissue, so the target can feel the ultimate 'intensity.'"
After hearing this calm explanation, Minato and Kushina's pupils shook.
Kushina immediately wanted to cling to her boyfriend for comfort, trembling in fear, while Minato was drenched in sweat, wanting to persuade Uchiha Kai to be less extreme.
However, before Minato could speak, something else interrupted him because the Nine-Tails spoke up at that moment.
Here's the translation in the same simple English format, preserving the essence of the original:
"Give up! I give up! I'm not fighting anymore! I won't cause trouble anymore! I admit defeat!"
The voice and eyes were filled with deep fear. The look in his eyes when he looked at Uchiha Kai was as if he were looking at the most terrifying devil.
It was a fear deeper than the shame and terror Uchiha Madara had once given him—this was pure, unfiltered fear.
What the hell is going on in the ninja world? How could such a cruel birth exist?
One technique that manipulates the large intestine wasn't enough, so now they want to force poop to grow inside it!
Even worse, they want things without a large intestine to forcibly grow one!
Meaning it can manipulate chakra to alter its body structure, making it so even eliminating the large intestine doesn't work.
And this birth wants to enhance the technique even further by growing eyeballs and nasal cavity tissue inside the large intestine?!
What kind of twisted mind comes up with a technique like this and tries to make it real?
If I were to be hit by this, even if I wouldn't die, the Nine-Tails feels like its life as a tailed beast would be over. This is worse than being a pet or dying—it's ten times, maybe nine times, more unbearable!
Compared to that, cooperating with the jinchuriki, staying inside Kushina Uzumaki's body and providing chakra would be much more acceptable—after all, I could endure a few decades, wait for this birth to die, and then regain the dignity of a tailed beast.
At least, the Nine-Tails didn't want to face this birth, which might not be deadly but was beyond insult. The humiliation it brought wasn't just abstract but deeply personal.
Although the Nine-Tails doubted whether Uchiha Kai could truly modify the technique to be so abstract, it didn't dare to take that risk! This kind of technique is like an ultimate weapon—its threat and deterrence are greatest when it's kept hidden in the arsenal.
The Nine-Tails, under the immense threat of this ultimate birth, lowered its proud head.
After all, the Nine-Tails reasoned, this threat wasn't permanent. Compared to the tailed beast's long life, a ninja's life is relatively short.
Sometimes, enduring a few decades wasn't something completely unbearable.
Facing this situation, Minato and the others couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment. They never expected that the Nine-Tails would "easily" surrender like this.
Although Uchiha Kai's abilities were indeed devilishly abstract and extremely intimidating, it was completely shocking to them that a wild tailed beast like the Nine-Tails, which was known for its madness, would yield so rationally, as if it had the ability to analyze pros and cons.
Only Uchiha Kai secretly smiled, knowing that his "warfare deception" against the Nine-Tails had been successful.
After all, the technique he spoke of to further strengthen the "Large Intestine Taste Buds Technique" was just something he made up—it was impossible to achieve.
The system's skills were still gold-rated. There was no way such an upgrade could be that easy.
It was impossible for Uchiha Kai to be able to extract an item to strengthen this abstract skill in the future, right?
