Chapter 98: Toad Oil.
"Awooo~!"
Shura, having entered 'Sage Mode' a step after Tatsuro, threw its head back and howled!
Its mouth opened, and a dark green sphere slowly condensed, then grew larger and larger.
Lady Katsuyu, beside them, exclaimed in surprise, "What the hell? A miniature Tailed Beast Bomb?"
When the sphere in its mouth was about the size of a fist, Shura clamped down on it, and a golden beam of light shot out.
"Voom, Swoosh—"
The immense energy caused the very air to distort. A huge shockwave shot towards the distance, directly hitting the barrier above Tokyo High.
The two then collided, causing a series of roaring sounds.
"This is..."
Tatsuro, resting on the ground, only saw a golden beam shoot out and then smash into Tokyo High's barrier...
"Holy crap! Could that be Shura's cursed energy cannon? I'm done for! Principal Yaga is definitely going to slaughter me this time." Tatsuro immediately shot up and sprinted towards the training area.
"What's going on?!" Masamichi Yaga, still busy sewing cursed corpses, felt the barrier tremble. He immediately threw open the window and jumped out from the principal's office.
Gojo Satoru, strolling through the campus, looked at the white smoke in the sky and remarked, "Causing trouble right after starting to learn. As expected of you, Tatsuro."
Maki, Panda, Yuta, and Toge all sensed the barrier shaking. Thinking it was an enemy invasion, they grabbed their cursed tools and immediately ran out of their homes.
(PS: Megumi is still out searching for new shikigami and hasn't returned yet.)
"Don't worry, it's just Tatsuro causing trouble as usual. Go back to sleep if you want to sleep. If you want to watch, come along. Remember to grab some drinks from Tatsuro's fridge."
Just as Gojo Satoru finished speaking, a roar came:
"Tatsuro...! You brat, how dare you blast the school barrier with a technique! Are you tired of living!" Masamichi Yaga was currently sprinting towards the forest.
"..."
Everyone was speechless and put their cursed tools back home. Then, they leaped down from the third floor and followed to watch the drama. Panda went to Tatsuro's fridge to get cold drinks.
"Big Sister Katsuyu! Look at my move, how powerful is it?" Shura was currently jumping up and down excitedly, leaping three meters high with a casual bounce, and snapping tree trunks with a single paw, though not completely severing them.
"It's... alright. It has about 1/3 the power of that Tailed Beast Bomb I saw before." Lady Katsuyu looked at the barrier in the sky, seeming to know trouble had been caused. She continued, "I'm going back to sleep first. Shura, you head home after you're done playing."
"Alrighty!"
As Shura spoke, it began to charge up a second blast in its mouth. A voice came from the distance, "Stupid dog! Stop it!"
Hearing its master's voice, the sage energy in Shura's mouth dispersed. It sat on the ground, its tail wagging furiously, as if waiting for its master's praise.
Tatsuro, rushing over, saw the piles of destroyed trees on the field and was already at a loss for words.
"Master, Master! How was it? Aren't I amazing? I destroyed so many trees with one move."
"..."
Looking at Shura, who seemed completely unaware of what it had done wrong, Tatsuro didn't know what to say. After all, it was just a child not yet half a year old. If he spoke too harshly, it might damage its confidence. He sighed helplessly, slowly walked over, patted its head, and said:
"Well done. But next time you test this move, aim it at the ground. We need to protect the trees."
"Okay!" Shura rubbed its head against Tatsuro's hand, seeming to enjoy it very much.
Tatsuro showed a wry smile. When Principal Yaga came charging over later, he was probably going to get an earful to death. He stood up, picked up the pants hanging on a branch, and put them on.
There was no need for a shirt; after all, he was covered in slime.
"Tatsuro!" Masamichi Yaga walked out, holding a tree trunk. He glanced at the destroyed trees on the field and said, "What was that brat doing?"
"A mishap, a mishap. The barrier is fine, isn't it?" Tatsuro rubbed his head and chuckled awkwardly.
"It would be a disaster if it wasn't fine!" Masamichi Yaga said, then clamped Tatsuro's neck tightly with his right arm. "Every time there's trouble, it's you, kid! Just like Gojo Satoru back in the day."
"A mistake, a mistake! This was really a mistake, I promise it won't happen again! I can't quite breathe..." Tatsuro quickly patted Principal Yaga's arm.
Crunch—
Gojo Satoru and the others, who had rushed over, were now opening sodas and sitting to the side, watching.
"Is this the so-called 'Sage Mode'?" Gojo Satoru looked at the markings on Shura's nose. Moreover, if one didn't pay special attention, it was hard to even notice him. He seemed to have merged with nature, and there was a very strong power within his body.
"Satoru! Don't just stand there acting like it's none of your business! After I'm done with him, you're next."
"..."
Gojo Satoru complained, "I knew I shouldn't have come."
Masamichi Yaga glanced at Lady Katsuyu on the ground; Gojo Satoru had also told him about this. He muttered to himself, "A slug that calls itself a Sage, huh..."
"Woof!"
A bark made Masamichi Yaga jump as if facing a great enemy. He turned his head to look at Shura, who had approached him at some unknown point, and instantly relaxed. At this moment, Shura seemed as if it had merged with nature; it was easy to overlook if one wasn't paying close attention.
There were also black markings on its nose. Could this be the 'Sage Mode' Gojo Satoru had mentioned?
He said, "If you dare to blast the barrier again, I'll suspend you from classes for half a month to reflect on your actions."
"It won't happen again, I promise. Today was just a small mistake."
Just as Tatsuro finished speaking, Masamichi Yaga released his right arm, looked at Gojo Satoru who was watching from the side, and said, "Come to my principal's office."
"Eh! No way, really?" Gojo Satoru asked in surprise.
Masamichi Yaga grabbed Gojo Satoru by the back of his collar and said, "When a student makes a mistake, the teacher gets lectured."
"Then when I made mistakes back then, why didn't the principal lecture you?"
"That's because you never saw me getting lectured. Stop dilly-dallying."
Everyone watched Gojo-sensei being dragged away and complained, "He ate his own melon and got himself killed." (He got himself into trouble by coming to spectate.)
"Alright, everyone go back to sleep. We still have to wake up early for training tomorrow." Tatsuro stretched. He hadn't eaten all day and was starving.
"Doll fish!" Inumaki Toge said and then wrote with his index finger on the ground: [Trouble you for the toad oil.]
"Toad oil?" Tatsuro was bewildered. After a moment of thought, he remembered the toads of Mount Myoboku, looked at Lady Katsuyu, and asked, "Did you promise Toge you'd bring this stuff out?"
"Yes, after all, Inumaki Toge can't handle my slime. We can only use toad oil. Don't worry, my main body has already found where those toads are locked up. I'll go over at night."
"..."
"The Sage Modes of your two clans aren't even the same form. How can you ensure nothing will go wrong with him..." Tatsuro complained internally.
The others nearby were listening with bewildered expressions but were too embarrassed to ask, since they weren't learning Sage Art themselves.
[Can't you bring it?] Inumaki Toge wrote again.
"I can bring it. Toge, you go back and sleep first." Lady Katsuyu had already said it. If he now said she couldn't bring it, it would be too hurtful.
