530 The Evolution of Defective Products (8,000-Word Chapter)

"I didn't expect that thing to fall into the hands of Konoha. I'm really unwilling!"

Beside the fire, Yumuren threw down a leftover pig's trotter, feeling indignant.

Their mission, Yunyin, is very strict, and it is also very important to Yunyin's future development. Even if they cannot capture the extraterritorial evil spirit alive, even if they only get its crystal, it is still a success. But what is annoying is that after paying so much, After his sacrifice, he actually made a wedding dress for Konoha.

Yuki has always been arrogant. Although she had agreed to leave after obeying Kirabi's instructions, as the saying goes, she became more and more angry, and the more she thought about it, the more she took a step back. Now that she thinks about it, she is still extremely unsatisfied.

"Perhaps we should take action. Anyway, there are only five of them. If we get that thing, we can at least report to Lord Yunying, but now..."

Yumu looked around and saw that out of a large army of fifty, there were only nineteen people left including her and Kirabi. Too many people died, and they were all from the village. Elite ninjas, how dare they go back to recover their lives? It's better to fight back then.

"It's useless." Kirabi shook his head, "We can't win with that man here."

"That man?" Yumu Ren was stunned.

"That's the Konoha genin who made a shocking sword strike." Kirabi raised his head and said seriously, "Although I didn't pay attention at first, I have remembered it now. If I guessed correctly, he should be the first one." During the three great ninja wars, he was the only one of the two prides of Konoha who stood side by side with Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, who could strike out with that shocking sword."

"How could it be him!" Yumu Ren's expression changed, "He...didn't he die ten years ago?"

"I thought so before." Kirabi glanced at her, "After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Namikaze Minato died, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki died, and that man died, plus the Konoha Sannin Those who defected and those who ran away, Konoha's power instantly dropped to its lowest level in history. That's why we, Kumogakure, launched that war, and that's why Konoha swallowed our anger, but who would have thought... that man is still alive!"

"And when the dead returned ten years later, he seemed to have become stronger. Now it is almost impossible for us to try to take advantage of Konoha."

As he spoke, Kirabi sighed. Apparently, he was no longer optimistic about Kumogakure's blueprint for unifying the ninja world.

At least, it's impossible while that man is alive!

"That man... is he really that strong?" Someone couldn't help but ask. Even if he had seen Tang Hao's shocking sword, it was hard for him to imagine that the other party could carry the entire Konoha by himself.

"He is very strong, not under Namikaze Minato." Kirabi nodded, "And that guy is very cunning and has always been hidden under the aura of Namikaze Minato, so not many people really know him. Unfortunately, he It seems that he has no interest in the position of Hokage at all, otherwise, if he competed with Namikaze Gate for the position of Hokage, there would be drama..."

Chi!

Just as Kirabi said this, there was a sudden flash of fire and some noise coming from outside the forest.

Everyone's eyes immediately became alert.

"Let me go take a look." After a moment, a Jonin stood up and said.

"Be careful, yoyo!" Kirabi gestured to him and showed off his rap again, "Don't let the wild boar eat you!"

It has to be said that Kirabi, this rude-looking man, is indeed very good at adjusting the atmosphere. With his words, the originally dull atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and several ninjas also showed smiles on their faces.

The Jonin who stood up smiled, flashed his teleportation technique, and disappeared on the spot.

Kirabi didn't pay too much attention. Although the noise just now was indeed a bit abnormal, he didn't feel the fluctuation of chakra. It was probably not a hostile ninja. If it was an extraterrestrial evil spirit, the movement would not be so small. It might be a wild boar, or They are carnivorous animals that seek out the scent of flesh and blood.

It's not a nuisance, but it will disturb their rest, so just run away.

Not only Kirabi, but also the Jonin who went on patrol had the same idea. Therefore, although he maintained the usual calmness and meticulousness of a ninja, he still did not take this seriously in his heart. Instead, he was thinking about Tang Hao.

With such a strong person as their enemy, they, Yunyin, would also suffer a big loss.

Uh-huh!

As he gradually moved away from the resting place, something seemed to flash across the silent and dark forest, and the leaves began to rustle.

Flying birds? What kind of birds move at night? owl?

The jounin thought to himself, subconsciously raising his head...

Just then, a huge shadow flashed over him.

"you……"

Click!

The jounin's voice suddenly stopped, and the crisp sound of bone cracking could be heard in the night.

When the shadow moved away from him, only a headless body was left in place.

Then, the shadow invaded forward, and soon swallowed the headless corpse into its stomach. Just at this time, the moonlight passed through the leaves and shone on the shadow, which was the alien-like star beast.

In order to gain strength, it must devour other creatures, and ordinary creatures cannot satisfy it, so it sets its target on two ninja teams, and by the way, it can avenge its brother.

Of course, Tang Hao's group was too strong. Although there were only five of them, the shocking sword made it frightened. It was no match for it now. Persimmons had to be picked on the soft, even among their star beast clan. common sense.

After eating the jounin, the star beast quickly digested it and integrated the opponent's genes into its own flesh and blood. Soon, its body began to twist and deform, and its mouth began to make murmuring sounds.

"Ah...ah, such a powerful force, at least...equivalent to a hundred...wild boar...Hey, my voice? Is this...human language?"

In the intermittent voice of the star beast, human language suddenly came out, and even it itself was startled.

"Is this human language? It's such a beautiful sound, but why am I the only one who has learned human language?"

Star Beast muttered to himself, a little confused.

"Obviously, my brother has devoured a lot of humans before me, but he has never mastered the human language. The same goes for other compatriots, and the ability to evolve. I can lower my body temperature because I ate snakes. I can Wings grew on my back because I ate pheasants. As long as I eat them, I can master some of their abilities, but my brother doesn't. Why is this? Why is it just me?"

With a doubtful tone, its tone gradually became smoother and smoother.

"Because... am I a defective product?"

"No! No!"

The star beast shook its head. Suddenly, it seemed to have thought of something.

"I am not a defective product, I am the chosen one!"

"Because my brother and I are conjoined twins, we were born with half the strength of other compatriots, and the brother who woke up first took over my strength, so I don't have any abilities, so I can master them by swallowing other creatures. Although my innate conditions are very low, it is because of this that I have unlimited possibilities for evolution. This is something that my normal compatriots can never do. Therefore, I am the real chosen one! "

At the end of the sentence, its tone became more and more excited, as if it had entered a state of frenzy.

"Yes, I am the chosen one. Unlike my brother who was a loser, I shoulder the responsibility of devouring this world! I will not repeat my brother's failure. Power...power, I need more power!"

Uh-huh!

The next moment, the star beast disappeared from the place like a ghost.

At the resting place, Kirabi, who was sleeping against a tree trunk, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Has he been away for too long?"

Hearing this, the other resting ninjas opened their eyes one after another, with strange and uneasy looks on their faces. Indeed, even if they were driving away the beasts, it took too long.

"I'll go take a look." Then, a person stood up, it was an elite jounin who had participated in the siege before.

"No." Kirabi waved his hand, "He has been gone for so long and hasn't come back. Maybe he encountered an enemy. It's not safe for you alone... Let's do this, half of the people stay, and the others stay with me. , divided into three groups to conduct searches.”

There are exactly eighteen people here, and a group of three can be divided into six groups.

Yumuren volunteered, but was left behind by Kirabi.

It's not that I don't trust her strength, but I'm worried about her character. She can easily be lured into the enemy. Moreover, considering other circumstances, a master is needed here.

Although Yukito was not happy, he still accepted the instruction.

"Attention, if there is any situation, please contact us with a signal immediately."

Afterwards, Kirabi immediately integrated three teams, gave an order, and quickly entered the darkness.

Among the trees not far away, the star beast was hiding there, paying close attention to their actions. Since it had eaten an owl not long ago and gained the ability to see at night, the actions of Kumogakure's troops were all under its surveillance.

"That man is too strong, I can't beat him now, and that woman..."

After eating the jounin, it also obtained the intelligence data of Kumogakure's troops. Kirabi and Yumu were both insurmountable by it. After weighing it, it quickly caught up with the weakest one. Team.

Although this three-person team is also led by an elite jounin, it knows the opponent's intelligence and fighting methods very well, and it also has the ability to hide itself at night... A moment later, the elite jonin leading the team was the first to be attacked and killed by it. .

Of course, this attack still inevitably revealed its existence, allowing the Kumogakure ninja to fire a flare.

However, it was this signal bomb that caused them to miss the opportunity to counterattack. The remaining two jounin were killed in an instant, and then fled before the Kirabi people arrived.

Although this star beast has congenital defects that make it far weaker than other star beasts, after eating its brother's flesh and blood, it has mastered part of the opponent's abilities. Coupled with the specialties of other wild animals, its current strength will not be the same. Weaker than any elite jounin, especially this dark forest is simply its best hunting ground.

It was hiding under the night with three corpses. Even if it was stronger than Kirabi, it would be difficult to find them for a while.

Then, when it ate those three ninjas, it became even more powerful.

It has even learned the use of chakra and ninjutsu.

The Chosen Son was his imagination, but there was one thing he was not wrong about, and that was the possibility of his evolution.

Because it has nothing at the beginning, just like a blank piece of paper, its ability to attract the outside world is far greater than that of other similar creatures. This is its unique and strongest talent.

"But the next hunt will be more difficult."

The star beast in the darkness is ready to move. With the death of four ninjas, it believes that no matter how stupid the ninjas of Kumogakure are, they will know that there is a terrible enemy lurking in the darkness. Next, they will inevitably join forces and it will come together again. It is no longer possible to defeat them all.

And under such circumstances, whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal force attack, it will only die.

but--

The star beast raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, through your short life, I have learned that there is a limit to the hiding ability of star beasts. No matter how we hide here and there, we will eventually be found by humans and killed one by one. This kind of life is not what I want. , if you want to lead to the perfect path of evolution, you must surpass the star beast, so... I will not be a star beast anymore, brother!"

As the words fell, its body began to rapidly deform. After a while of distortion, it had already lost its alien-like body and became exactly the same as a human. Its appearance was exactly that of one of the Kumogakure jounin it had eaten.

"Is this a human body? I feel like my power is getting stronger." Star Beast felt the powerful power in his body and couldn't help but open his arms, "Because this body type is the most perfect existence? If that's the case, then I Just evolve as a human being, and I have unlimited possibilities for evolution, so just let me blaze an unprecedented path!"

"Yes, as long as I maintain this body shape and hide my aura, humans will not be able to discover my true body. Next..."

Later, it relied on the ability of wild animals to capture some wild animals and blended its own flesh and blood into them to control their actions.

After doing all this, when it approached Kumogakure's resting place again, it saw a group of them gathered together.

"Damn, what on earth is dealing with us!"

The death of the four ninjas, and even the corpses were not visible, made the atmosphere of Kumogakure extremely heavy again. Even Kirabi could not calm down. He felt that they were being affected by an invisible terrifying shadow. shrouded.

"snort."

The star beast in the darkness snorted coldly and said with a ferocious smile: "Cry, shout, be angry, and then die in despair. This is your fate, just because... you met me, the chosen one!"

Then, it controlled the beasts and started taking action.

swish swish——

A strange sound sounded near Kumogakure's resting place.

"coming!"

Kirabi immediately raised his head, looked at the place where the sound came from, and then rushed out without hesitation. So many elite ninjas had died before and after. He no longer knew how to return to Kumogakure after returning. His heart was filled with anger. At this moment, he just wanted to tear the enemy in the dark into pieces.

Of course, he still retained some sense. In order to avoid being ambushed and the entire army being annihilated, he only brought a few elite jounin with him, leaving Yuukito and a few others behind in order to deal with the enemy's ambush.

However, he didn't know that it was not him who was plotting against the star beast.

Shortly after Kirabi and the others rushed out, the star beasts quickly approached their resting place. The figures flickered and mocked disdainfully: "Huh, you are dead, Kumogakure's trash!"

There are enemies?

Yuuki caught the fleeting figure and quickly determined the identity of the other person. Even if he was not a ninja from Konoha, he must be a ninja from other ninja villages. Then hearing that taunt made her even more angry. .

"Want to run? Stop!"

Yumu Ren was already arrogant. He had been left behind by Kirabi twice before, and he was already unhappy. He couldn't let go of the opportunity at this moment, so he rushed over immediately.

"Yukito, wait..."

The other ninjas hurriedly spoke out, wanting to remind her to be careful of ambushes, but Yumu Ren was the strongest and fastest. As soon as they raised their voices, Yumu Ren disappeared.

Helpless, they could only follow up immediately and fired flares at the same time.

Of course Yukito knew that the enemy might have an ambush, but she was not afraid at all. She was a perfect Jinchuriki, with Kage-level strength. As long as she was not a monster like an extraterrestrial evil spirit, there was nothing to fear.

Of course, she was still alert to her surroundings during the pursuit.

Soon, she felt chakra fluctuations in front of her, and took a closer look...

"go to hell!"

Not far ahead, two ninjas were fighting. One was wearing Kumogakure's costume, and the other was wrapped like an alien. You didn't need to look closely to know who was the enemy and who was the friend.

"It's you who deserves to die!"

Seeing that the blade of the alien ninja was about to pierce into the body of the Kumogakure ninja, Yukito immediately roared and killed him, knocking the alien ninja away with one blow.

"Are you okay?" Yukito looked at the Kumogakure ninja who fell on the ground.

"It's okay, luckily you arrived in time..." The Kumogakure ninja raised his head, with a hideous smile on his face, and stabbed Yukito with the kunai in his hand like lightning.

boom!

But then, his arm was kicked away by Yumu Ren, and then he grabbed his neck like an electric shock and lifted it up, "Idiot, you only judge the enemy and the enemy based on their appearance. Who do you think I am? I have seen through it a long time ago. It’s your trick!”

"Yeah, so can you see anything else?"

"Well……"

Yuki Ren looked at the proud smile on the other person's face and suddenly felt something bad.

Uh-huh!

At this moment, something dropped down, and Yumuren instinctively raised his face.

Click!

Then she saw nothing.

The moment before she lost consciousness, she only saw the Kumogakure ninja she was holding in her hand and the alien ninja she kicked away turned into white mist in an instant, and then a slender neck grabbed her head...

Clone technique? So, does it mean...?

Yumu seemed to have thought of something, but everything was meaningless. The moment the star beast grabbed it, it quickly tore off its head and then swallowed it into its stomach with its clothes on.

This beautiful Kumogakure ninja did not die in the hands of the Akatsuki organization, but died tragically in the belly of a beast.

"Yukito!"

"Damn it, you monster!"

When Yuki was being eaten, the Kumogakure ninjas finally arrived. Fear and anger instantly filled their hearts, but they still bravely rushed forward to rescue Yuki.

"hey-hey."

The star beast smiled, but ignored them, spread its wings, and flew away immediately.

It's not that it's kind, but that it needs time to digest the power of Mu Ren and Erwei.

"What are you talking about? The Yumu people were..." Qilabi, who arrived late, almost fell down after listening to the reports of his subordinates. After all, the Yumu people are one of the most important combat forces in Yunyin Village. And she was eaten!

"That monster, I must cut it into pieces!" Kirabi roared angrily.

…

While Kirabi roared, the star beast had completely digested the power of the wooden man and took it as his own. Even the power of the two tails had been partially digested.

Of course, the two-tailed resistance was fierce, because the tailed beast was different from humans in that it would not die if eaten. In addition, Yukito's death caused it to struggle violently in the star beast's body, and it was very likely that the fish would die.

However, the star beast was not worried, even though its body was like a sea urchin being charged by chakra.

They, the star beast clan, can even eat the whole world. As long as a tailed beast enters its belly, it will never come out.

"Is this the power of tailed beasts? Great, this is the power I crave! Hahaha..."

The star beast said with emotion as it digested the power of the second tail. Half an hour later, the power of the second tail was completely digested by it, and it officially reached the shadow level.

"Stupid brother, you have been hiding here and there for so long, and you only have so much strength. And I, in just one night, have almost caught up with you. Sure enough... you are impossible. Only I can only act as a god. As the chosen son, the path I have chosen is the most perfect path of evolution!”

The star beast couldn't help but show a drunken expression, but soon, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the power in his body. There were some impurities that were not completely integrated with him.

It groped carefully and suddenly understood.

"I see, if you swallow the jinchuriki and the tailed beast at the same time, impurities will appear in the impure power... Well, it seems that you have to eat separately in the future. First, pull out the tailed beast, but how to do it... Haha, what? , isn’t there another one in front of me!”

The star beast grinned. It now has shadow-level strength. It doesn't need to play tricks anymore. When facing Kirabi, it can just attack Kirabi head-on.

So, after a while, the two sides finally came face to face.

"Die you monster!"

The enemy in the darkness finally appeared, and Kirabi went straight into the state of complete tailed beast transformation without saying a word.

The two shadow-level warriors instantly shattered the mountains and the earth. Kirabi was a master of battles. Even though he had been exhausted before, his rich combat experience was far beyond what the star beasts could match. In addition, the star beasts devoured His methods evolved and his control of power was somewhat lacking. At first, he was completely suppressed by the furious Kirabi.

However, Star Beast has advantages that Kirabi does not have.

First, it's incredibly hard.

No matter what flaws it has, it is still a star beast, and its hardness is far beyond the comparison of humans.

Secondly, it's too cunning.

After realizing that it was at a disadvantage, it was not eager to attack. Instead, it relied on its rough skin and thick flesh to fight with Kirabi. At the same time, it brutally killed the remaining Kumogakure ninjas. It watched as its companions' hands and feet were torn apart and their bodies were torn apart. Devastated, Kirabi was furious and attacked more violently. Of course, chakra was consumed faster.

As for the Star Beast, while maintaining its power, it can also replenish it by devouring Kumogakure ninjas.

With one fluctuation and another rising, the scale of victory gradually tilted towards the star beast.

When this shadow-level battle ended, Kirabi had already exited the tailed beast state, and was lifted up in the air by the star beast's neck.

"Hehe, we can finally conduct the experiment..." Star Beast smiled ferociously and stretched out his hand towards Kirabi, "Let's talk about it first. I don't know how to extract the tailed beast from your body. The method may be a bit painful, but you must not do it. Die early, after all, if you die, I will feel uncomfortable eating, hehe."

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

A moment later, in the bloody forest, Kirabi's screams were heard one after another.

I don't know how long it took, but as the screams stopped, the star beast successfully ate the eight tails, and then it pulled the unconscious Kirabi aside to digest the eight tails.

After digesting the eight tails, it was ready to eat Kirabi. As long as it was eaten and digested separately, its energy would not have impurities. But when it touched Kirabi, it found that the other party's body had become... a piece of wood.

"Huh?" Starmon was stunned for a moment, "This guy is still alive? And he used the Substitute Technique to escape? How strange. Didn't it say that all jinchūriki who were pulled out of the tailed beast will die? This guy... Could it be that he used Crossing the star core? Huh, it’s all my fault!”

The star beast snorted, but then he was relieved.

"It doesn't matter, a loser who lost his tailed beast will just run away if he escapes. And I'm in great shape now. Even if it's Tang Hao... That guy's name is Tang Hao, right? Even if it's him, I can easily... …”

Halfway through Star Beast's words, suddenly, the shocking sword appeared in his mind again, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "Forget it, now is not the time, although I am not afraid of him, yes, I am not afraid of him! But I am the chosen one. Son, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of swallowing this world. There is no need to take risks for the time being, and I still have a lot of things to do... Swallow the tailed beast, evolve to the growth stage, then swallow the power of the world, evolve to the complete body, just one Tang Hao, it’s not worth my time... Humph, I’ll crush you to death after I evolve to my full body!”

"Of course, before that, there is one more thing."

As he spoke, the star beast lowered his head, looked at his body, and murmured.

"Brother, I originally planned to let you live in my body forever, let you witness my growth and rise, let you watch how I avenge you, but it is different now. Your flesh and blood is in my body, hindering It has hindered my growth and prevented me from perfectly integrating the genes of other creatures. Although you have always been protecting me and raising me, now I no longer need you. I have inherited your power and still have You don’t have the possibility of evolution. If you stay in my body any longer, it will be a stain on my bloodline, so you will forgive me... For my evolution, I must abandon you!"

"Wow!"

The star beast's belly bulged, and it spit out a large piece of flesh and blood.

Looking at the piece of flesh and blood that was still moving, it couldn't help showing a look of disgust, and then used fire escape to burn it completely.

"Finally, I'm just me."

The star beast said with relief, and then his eyes flashed fiercely, "And my comrades, those defective products have no meaning in existence. Instead of letting them die in the hands of humans, let their star cores be used by humans. , why not let me absorb all their star cores, as long as I am in this world, it is enough!"

After saying that, it strode forward.

At dawn, the star beast, far away from the forest, could finally see the human city.

Just when it was about to blend in, three kittens ran up not far away.

"Wild cat? Huh, I've already eaten this kind of creature, so there's no need... eh, wait."

The star beast was just about to burn them to death when suddenly something happened in his heart.

"Although I am the Chosen One and have the most perfect evolutionary path, I cannot do everything myself. I still need a few subordinates... It is said that there are three ninjas in Konoha, two men and one woman. They are all extremely powerful. Just right. , you three wild cats, two males and one female, I will train you into Sannin cats, and let you conquer the world for me."

As it spoke, it integrated part of its flesh and blood into the bodies of the three wild cats.

The wild cats meowed, unable to control the mutation of their bodies. Although they looked the same on the outside, they were gradually transformed into the shape of star beasts on the inside.

In response to this, the star beast nodded with satisfaction, then pinched his chin, "By the way, since I want to enter human society, I must have a name, and I am the chosen one... Well, Tianxing, from now on I will Call Tianxing, Sannin cat, follow me!"

"Meow?"

The three wild beasts tilted their heads as if they didn't understand, and followed behind Tianxing swaying.

…

Meanwhile, Kirabi has woken up.

He didn't escape, he was still in the same place. He didn't know why he was still alive, but after using the substitute technique at that time, he no longer had the energy to escape, so he could only find a nearby place to hide, and then resigned to his fate.

As for Tianxing, perhaps because he felt that he was the son of destiny and had a high self-esteem, he didn't care about Kirabi without the tailed beast and did not start a search on the spot. Instead, he let Kirabi escape.

However, even though he survived, looking at the mess on the ground in front of him, as well as the blood and minced meat of his companions, Kirabi did not feel the slightest joy or thankfulness in his heart.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Kirabi knelt on the ground, beating the ground with his fists. The 200-pound man cried like a child.
