34 Chapter 34 Two Tails

It has been about one year since Arata left Orochimaru's hideout. He has already went through a few of the neighboring countries surrounding the leaf village but hasn't found anymore signs of the Uzumaki clan. In these year, he never stopped training as his body continued to grow stronger and stronger as time passed.

[The Preta Path grants the user the ability to absorb chakra in any form.]

As his body matured, he also began to develop his other paths with the system's advice on which path would be more suitable to him. Although the system informed him that he could create another person with a rinnegan through some method of taking a corpse and used rods that transmit his chakra into the corpse, enabling it to use that one path, but Arata chose not to do it.

Although it can give him a numeral advantage against an unknown amount of enemies and that it will be easier to manipulate and control the chakra nature required to use the path, Arata wanted to master this himself and be one entity of power instead of 6.

Furthermore, the system informed him that the first seal that has been absorbing chakra is done. The system told him that it would take a long time but it seemed like it happened sooner than what the system had informed. The system told him that his chakra reserves were equivalent to possessing one tailed beast. With a huge boost in power if he unleashes the chakra seal, he became even more confident in his strength. The downside of using the seal is that it will cause a strain on his body and if his body isn't strong enough, then it can destroy his body. However, this power was still much needed if he wants to be able to have enough power to deter any enemies that he will face in the future. He started to form another seal near his abdomen which was the center point of his chakra.

With his first seal located at his heart which looked like a black diamond, Arata knew that he was vastly stronger than when he left the village and was satisfied.

Over the year, he clashed against several rogue ninjas and he also gathered a small reputation. He was called Lightning God Arata with his usage of the lightning cloak and lighting jutsu that has developed over time putting him on the bingo books of other ninja villages. Although he had access and can master other chakra natures, he preferred lightning because it greatly increases his speed and power and mostly used the other chakra natures to catch the other side off guard. He has managed to combine a few chakra natures but felt that most of it wasn't necessary since his battles would only last for a few seconds with his speed. Furthermore, his increase in strength gives him the edge against ordinary ninjas.

He learned of Sasuke's abandonment of the leaf village and going over to Orochimaru. He assumed that this must've been what Orochimaru's mission for the 5 hidden sound ninjas.

Arata was now far north east and was entering the border of the country of lightning. Arata knew that the chance that some Uzumaki clan members was small but he still wanted to look for clues.

Walking through the forest, he heard sounds of clash and since it was in his pathway, he quickly went towards the location curious about what was going on. There he saw a young women in her early mid-twenties fighting against what seems to be almost hundreds of ninjas. She had a slim body with blond hair and black hair. He noticed a particular trait that she had. Her fingernails were really long that it extended to at least 2 meters and she used it like her hand was claws as she nimbly moved around the area.

He continued to observe and was highly impressed with her strength as even though she was outnumbered, it didn't look like she was at a disadvantage. It was until it looked like she was began to tire that he noticed a strange chakra leaking out from her body. This was then that Arata knew who or what she was, which was a jinchuriki. He thought of how Naruto used that strange red chakra that leaked out from his body and based off it on that.

The chakra leakage however, had a different color. It was blue with some black spirals forming on the body. Slowly, the chakra took over the body and unleashed a strong and frightening aura. The ultimate result of the chakra body takeover was formed like a tiger or cat with two tails with a ferocious expression. The girl moved and attacked the several ninjas around her and in just a few minutes, all of the surrounding ninjas were killed. The power she then showed was overwhelming. Her combat effectiveness was simply elevated to an extreme and was able to breathe fire and use devastating fire attacks.

A few seconds after checking its surroundings, the chakra beast began to fade away and the young woman appeared again. Soon after, two old couple and a few ninjas with masks appeared from the distance.

???: " Yugito. You have now mastered the use of tailed beast chakra and passed the final test. Good work."

Yugito simply nodded. She knew that her village had the technology of controlling tailed beasts, this final test was a bit cruel to her as she killed her own fellow soldiers for a test.

??: " You can rest for now until you are given further orders. Make sure you stay idle and don't forget to stay aware of your surroundings, there has been rumors of an elite organization hunting tailed beasts. " The elders and accompany ninjas then left.

Yugito took a few step as she began to stumble onto a tree as she began to breathe heavily. Fighting against hundreds of ninjas were straining for her. But now that she has managed to complete the last test in learning how to control the tailed beast that reside in her, now she was valued member of the clan and would be protected. Her strength has also increased by a great level with her use of the tailed beast chakra.

Just as Arata was about to pull out, he stepped on a stick which made a sound as it broke in half. " Shit"

Just as he was about to move away. Yugito called out, " Who's there?!"

With an awkward smiled, Arata knew he had to come out or it can cause a misunderstanding. He leaped down from his position, and held up his hands signifying that he means no harm and is not a threat.

When Yugito saw Arata, she immediately went on full alert as she recognized who the kid in front of her was. " You- You are Lightning God Arata. Despite your young age, you possess extreme speed and strength being able to take on multiple opponents."

" Haha. So you know me. The rumors are exaggerating me. Anyway, I mean no harm. I did not mean to hear or see you do anything. I'll be on my way now."

Yugito: " Wait! You don't really expect me to just believe what you have said right? I would be a fool to believe you. What you have seen and heard are secrets of the hidden cloud village. I can't just let you go."

" Hmm, would you believe me if I said that I didn't hear anything?"

Yugito, " Are you stupid? Didn't you just say that you didn't mean to hear or see anything."

Arata chuckled as he thought about it. " Well. I already left the leaf village so I am not entitled to report anything to them. I'm only here to look for clues of some people. That's all nothing more and nothing less."

Yugito furrowed her brows and said while pulling out a kunai, " And who can that be?"

Arata knew that if he didn't tell her then it would look even more suspicious. " My family."

Yugito, " Your family?? Explain. You are from the hidden leaf village, how could your family be here?"

" Well that is my secret. I don't believe that I have to tell you that."

Yugito then made a move and attacked Arata. Since the other side isn't saying anything, it is too suspicious and he already knew too many secrets that can harm her village.

Seeing the incoming attack, Arata ducked, low into the ground and as the slash came above him, he brought his hands together and put his palm on her stomach and pushed a large amount of chakra to the center of his palm and blasted outwards. This force palm sent Yugito flying back far away, crashing and knocking down several trees. Seeing this chance, Arata quickly fled the scene. He will have to come back later because this will probably raise the security in the area and people will be looking for him.
