He was swept into the sea by the octopus's tentacles, but he did not die on the spot. He was rescued by Uchiha Ming, who used medical ninjutsu to keep him alive.
Now it's time for Section Chief Mori to repay Uchiha Ming for saving his life.
Section Chief Mori was seriously injured, his sternum was completely broken and his spine was comminuted. Even with Uchiha Ming's current medical ninjutsu, he could not be cured. He will spend the rest of his life as a vegetable in bed.
Instead of this, it would be better to let Uchiha Ming practice and see if he can use the Pinxixi version of the tailed beast to create a Jinchūriki.
Maybe there will be a turning point.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, drink!"
Uchiha Ming chanted a spell and stretched out his right hand towards 'Suzuki Junhui', with his five fingers clenched and a faint purple light flickering on his fingertips.
'Suzuki Junhui' turned into a ball of azure light and flew into Uchiha Ming's right hand.
The essence of the tailed beasts is a huge collection of chakra, which can be transformed between reality and illusion at will. The tailed beast 'Suzuki Kimie' has the same properties.
"Five Elements Seal!"
Uchiha Ming looked at Section Chief Mori who was floating face up on the sea, and pressed the five fingers of his right hand on his lower abdomen.
The Five Elements Seal is also a relatively popular sealing technique in the ninja world. Someone in the Fire Temple once used it to seal part of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
"Zizzi-"
A circle of mysterious black runes suddenly appeared on the man's abdomen, with blue light flashing in the middle.
There are five spiral lines on the outside.
Well, it was very smooth to insert 'Suzuki Kimie' into Section Chief Mori's body.
Uchiha Ming nodded slightly.
Sealing techniques are among the most difficult to learn among the many ninjutsu. Even a jonin may not be able to master the A-level five-element seal.
But even so, the Five Elements Seal is probably not enough to seal the tailed beasts, but it is more than enough to seal a chakra life form of the level of 'Suzuki Kimie'.
Uchiha Ming was not too worried that 'Suzuki Kimie' would be able to escape, but he did not know whether the Jinchūriki's experiment would be successful this time.
"Ah, uh..."
The dark face of the unconscious Section Chief Mori was filled with pain, and he groaned from his throat, but the groan soon turned into a low growl like that of a wild beast.
"Ow!"
His body began to twitch abnormally, his limbs twisted as if they had no bones, and things similar to octopus suction cups appeared on his hands.
With a "hiss", an octopus tentacle tore through the trouser leg and stretched out, getting longer and longer, extending out to five or six meters.
Section Chief Mori's body was visibly expanding as if it had been inflated, and octopus tentacles as thick as a person's embrace grew out one after another.
A giant octopus sea monster with a body more than seven or eight meters long and tentacles many times longer appeared in Wakasa Bay.
There is also a huge man's face on the octopus's head, and the features of the man vaguely resemble those of Section Chief Mori.
"Well, is this considered a success?"
The octopus monster's dozen huge tentacles stirred back and forth in the sea water. The man's face on the head suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a beast-like ferocity and appetite.
“Ah ...
A huge octopus tentacle rolled towards Uchiha Ming.
But before it touched Uchiha Ming's coat, the octopus tentacle was cut off and fell heavily into the sea, splashing a large amount of water.
"It seems to have failed..."
Uchiha Ming closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them.
Two blood-red full moons rose over the waters of Wakasa Bay!
Chapter 221 Chapter 222 The Mermaid's Curse
Wakasa Town, where Obama City is located, is located in Fukui Prefecture, facing the mainland across the Sea of Japan and adjacent to Kyoto.
Since ancient times, Obama City has been an important port city on the coast of the Sea of Japan. It has a rich cultural heritage from the Nara period and is known as Nara on the Sea.
Today, Obama is a prosperous city, and the largest fish market in Japan, Tsukiji Market, is located here. During the Golden Week, the annual Mermaid Festival is held, and the streets of Obama are bustling with tourists.
“Why are there so many signs of former great commanders in this city?”
Uchiha Ming stopped by the roadside and looked curiously at the billboard standing on the street. On it was a bright smiling face known to everyone in the world, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
But the signboard looks a bit old, with the dark skin faded due to wind and sun.
This is the third one along the way.
"Because this city is called OBM."
A few steps ahead of Uchiha Ming, the older sister with beautiful long black wavy hair who was chatting and laughing with Sakaki Namiya turned around and said.
"It's interesting, isn't it? The Japanese pronunciation of Obama City. Because of this coincidence, when I was a child, the local tourism association even set up a support club for him, hoping to attract foreign tourists."
It turned out to be the case.
Throughout the ages, there is no hero to be found in the land of Sun Zhongmou; on the dance pavilions and singing stages, his elegance is always washed away by the rain and wind.
These are all old things from the previous dynasty.
I didn’t expect that a small coastal city in Japan still retains the glory of the past. It’s really touching.
"A Ming, come up quickly. Otherwise we will leave you behind!" Sakaki Namiryu called out.
On May 3rd, Uchiha Ming, Aunt Sakaki Namiryu and her roommate, Suzuki Maika, who is also a teacher at Jinguji Private High School, came to Obama City to visit the Mermaid Festival with the three-day and two-night tour voucher for a three-person group that Aunt Sakaki Namiryu had won from the store.
After settling his luggage in a local fisherman's inn at noon, Uchiha Ming sneaked into Wakasa Bay and carried out his mission as planned.
Although some unexpected things happened afterwards, the matter was basically settled.
Since it was a rare opportunity to come to a coastal city and there was a rare festival, Uchiha Ming was in the mood to relax.
It was almost dinner time when Uchiha Ming finally returned to the B&B, and was then forcibly dragged out by Aunt Sakaki Namiryu and Suzuki Maika.
"Since you are in Obama, you must not miss the mackerel. I recommend this mackerel specialty store Sabar."
The school doctor, Suzuki Maika, led the way with ease and found a mackerel restaurant.
Uchiha Ming and Aunt Sakaki Namiryu were sitting at the dining table, on which were placed mackerel sushi, mackerel teppanyaki, mackerel skewers, grilled and fried mackerel in various dishes.
Mackerel is a specialty of Obama City and was a popular product in Kyoto in ancient times.
The street that Uchiha Ming and the others just walked on is called Mackerel Street.
Mackerel is transported ashore from Wakasa Bay, and Obama City is the starting point. Obama connects the streets of Kyoto and is the starting point for transporting fish. Mackerel is the most in-demand species, so it got its name from this.
"This mackerel is so fresh, and this miso is just to my taste!"
Sakaki Namiryu praised a dish of boiled mackerel. After the mackerel was stewed in miso and soy sauce, the fresh fragrance of the fish mixed with the soy sauce gave off an enticing aroma.
“Maika, it was the right decision to bring a local like you to visit the Mermaid Festival! Otherwise, tourists from other places like us would not be able to find such a good store.”
"It would be great if it suits your taste."
Suzuki Maika raised her head and looked around, with an inexplicable sadness brewing in her eyes.
"It's been five years since I left Obama City. I didn't expect this old store is still open. It hasn't even changed at all."
"You haven't been back to your hometown for five years? Is there any reason?" Sakaki Namiryu drank half a bottle of beer in gulps, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she spoke bluntly.
"It's nothing. It's all over. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to come back. Namiryu, thank you for inviting me. Let me treat you to dinner tonight."
"That's embarrassing! Waiter, give me another beer." Sakaki Namiryu generously stretched out an arm and called the waiter.
Suzuki Maika lowered her head and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of charcoal-grilled mackerel. The mackerel was simply grilled on charcoal fire and sprinkled with a little salt to best preserve the original flavor.
With one hand, she tucked her thick black hair behind her ear and with the other hand, she picked up a bit of snow-white fish meat and put it into her mouth. Her movements were graceful and she looked like a lady from a noble family.
"Hmm? Uchiha-san, is there something on my face?"
Suzuki Maika put down her chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe her rosy lips, and smiled.
A beauty like her is very sensitive to men's gazes. Suzuki Maika noticed that her nephew Sakaki Namiryu stared at her face intentionally or unintentionally several times.
However, Suzuki Maika was not disgusted. After all, high school students like Uchiha Ming were at the age of overflowing hormones, and it was normal for them to be attracted to a beautiful older sister like herself.
Moreover, Uchiha Ming's eyes were not those of a direct and lustful gaze, but rather a thoughtful look.
"No, nothing." Uchiha Ming replied calmly.
Sakaki Namiryu shuddered, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
Mingzi inherited his brother-in-law's outstanding handsome looks and good grades. He belongs to the Brahmin class in the student pyramid. However, as far as Sakaki Namiryu knows, Mingzi is also rude to girls at school.
Could it be that Mingzi likes older sisters?
Wuxiang is ten years older than Mingzi.
As Mingzi's mother...and aunt, I must keep a close eye on his sister and brother-in-law!
Sakaki Namiryu looked at her roommate with an indescribable scrutiny in her eyes.
Uchiha Ming naturally had no idea what Sakaki Namiya was thinking about.
Uchiha Ming had no worldly desires for this female health teacher with thick, wavy black hair, whom he had only met twice. He frequently looked at Suzuki Maika's face because he had a sense of déjà vu.
Suzuki Maika's long black lotus-like hair and face were extremely similar to the Pinyuyu tailed beast he had met not long ago!
The evil spirit in Wakasa Bay seems to have the last name Suzuki in the records...
As Uchiha Ming tasted the grilled mackerel skewers, several thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Hey, Maika, you're a local, so you must have experience. How should we go about shopping for the Mermaid Festival tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow the opening ceremony of the Mermaid Festival will be held on the other side of Obama City, on the Mikami Island, 500 meters offshore. There is a Mermaid Shrine there, where the corpses of mermaids are enshrined." Suzuki Maika spoke eloquently, as if she knew all about it.
"Then we will arrange for the selected girls to dress up as mermaids, and invite the mermaids out of the shrine and take them to Obama City for a float parade. The next day, we will bring them back to the mermaid shrine on the island."
"Wow, wow, wow, if I could taste the mermaid's corpse, could I become immortal like Yaobikuni?" Sakaki Namiryu said with shining eyes.
"Sister Namiryu, if it really has the effect of immortality, how could it be your turn? It would have been burned to ashes by rich people long ago."
Uchiha Ming knew very well what the so-called mermaid mummy was, and poured a bucket of cold water on Sakaki Naminariu.
"A Ming, you really spoil the fun."
Sakaki Namiryu grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, but soon became interested.
"I heard that the amulet on the day of the Mermaid Festival can make people stay young forever and make their love life successful."
What the hell is going on? Suzuki Maika was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When she was a child, the Mermaid Festival was just about praying for health and longevity, but now it has been added with wishes for eternal youth and successful love. This may be a publicity gimmick to keep up with the development of the times.
Suzuki Maika suddenly showed a mischievous smile on her face.
"The relationship was successful? So, Namiru, you wanted to find your brother-in-law at first..."
"Ah, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Sakaki Namiryu looked a little helpless and shouted in an attempt to cover up her mistake.
"Hahaha, actually this mackerel specialty store has a hidden menu, it's mackerel chazuke, you must try it. I'll go talk to the boss."
Suzuki Maika took the opportunity to order and slipped away.
Sakaki Namiryu turned her head and saw Uchiha Ming eating attentively, and she felt relieved a little.
Just at this moment, a pair who looked like a couple walked in from the store entrance.
After the two sat down near Uchiha Ming, one of them, a woman with short hair and thin lips like willow leaves, who looked a bit mean, said in a very dissatisfied tone:
"Every time there is a mermaid festival, there are so many outsiders. It's so annoying!"
"Yukako, please bear with it for a while. The Mermaid Festival will only last a few days."
Next to the short-haired woman, a man with rough and dark skin, who looked like a fisherman but was dressed very luxuriously, persuaded her.
"Shimazaki, this is so funny. These tourists from other places come here just to pray for longevity and health, or even crappy love, at the Mermaid Festival." The woman named Yukako looked at the tourists coming and going outside the store with a sarcastic smile on her face.
"But the mermaid we worship is not such a kind god. Instead, he is a monster that can curse and take people's lives!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shimazaki's face turned pale and he lowered his voice.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said? These outsiders don't know, and even the locals in Xiaobin have only heard it from hearsay, but we know everything." Yujiazi said somewhat unconvinced.
"Five years ago, there were mermen causing trouble in Wakasa Bay, and several people died. That area of the sea is still blocked to this day."
"What happened five years ago was just an accident. Didn't we agree not to mention it again?"
