## Chapter 1226: From Now On, You Will Be My 'Vessel'!
"What exactly are you trying to do, answer me, you bastard!"
The great strength brought by 'Forest of Hatred' greatly lifted Aramaki's spirits, and he let out a roar filled with rage towards Jigen above.
"I told you, you are a very good 'Vessel'."
As Jigen's cold words fell, giant cubes, no longer resisting the pull of gravity, fell towards the ground one after another.
[Bang bang bang bang bang!]
The extremely heavy cubes smashed most of the trees attempting to intercept them to pieces. The remaining ones were punched away by Aramaki, who had transformed into a giant treant.
Despite this, the effect of the giant cubes once again affected Aramaki.
He clearly felt that his Observation Haki was severely interfered with.
And this time, Jigen would not give him time to clear the surrounding cubes.
[Boom!]
In an instant, Jigen exploded into action again, and circles of sound bursts exploded in the air.
His entire being transformed into a lightning-like white afterimage, and he kicked the abdomen of the giant treant.
Aramaki had no time to make a defense move at all.
The treant, which was tens of meters tall, was actually sent flying back nearly three hundred meters.
All the trees and land along the way suffered devastating destruction.
This time, it wasn't a clone. Aramaki took a solid heavy blow and spit out another large mouthful of blood.
"Sage Mode Chakra?!"
Aramaki half-knelt in the pit, painfully clutching his abdomen with broken bark.
If it were ordinary Chakra, it wouldn't be able to harm him in element transformation.
But Jigen's kick carried the aura of natural energy.
Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Hashirama Senju had shown Sage Mode before, so he was still quite familiar with the aura of Sage Mode Chakra.
This was indeed the fact. Jigen was one of the earliest monks in the Ninja World to cultivate natural energy.
This had both good and bad points for Otsutsuki Isshiki who was possessing him.
The good thing was that natural energy made the 'Kāma' evolve.
The bad thing was that Jigen's talent was too low.
Neither his body nor the natural energy he cultivated were enough to bear all of his own 'data'.
But no matter what, it was still possible to use it to attach to his fists and feet, serving as auxiliary attack.
During this period of time, he had collected quite a bit of intelligence about the World Government.
This of course included Devil Fruits and Haki.
Especially the combat between Aramaki and Hashirama Senju, he had observed it up close from the shadows.
So he understood Aramaki very well. On the contrary, Aramaki needed to figure things out on the spot.
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
Jigen used the same trick again, summoning out giant cubes one by one, letting them fall in all directions around Aramaki, continuing to blockade his Observation Haki.
This made Aramaki become even more livid.
But he could only again manufacture countless trees, attacking Jigen while also being distracted pushing away the cubes.
Jigen's fighting style also didn't change.
He just relied on his speed advantage, perception advantage, and the ability to shrink at any time.
He easily dodged the dense tree branch offensive, beating up various parts of Aramaki's body again and again.
Although Aramaki relied on his powerful stamina and the defense of his Armament Haki, the actual damage Jigen caused was not large.
But everyone knows the principle that accumulation of small amounts adds up, and water dripping through stone.
Not to mention, Jigen's strength wasn't so small that there was a gap like water and stone.
The power of a single kick that could kick through a Perfect Susanoo was truly no joke.
If it wasn't for Aramaki's good Armament Haki level and abundant stamina, his giant treant wouldn't be able to block it either.
Actually, Jigen didn't expect Aramaki to be so troublesome.
He originally thought he could end the combat in at most thirty minutes, but looking at the current situation, it wouldn't be over for several hours.
Fortunately, this place was close to the desert center zone of the original Land of Wind, hundreds of kilometers away from Lou Lan City and Sunagakure.
For a while, he didn't need to worry about someone interfering.
Jigen settled his heart, using heavy blows again and again to wear down Aramaki's Haki.
Time flowed away little by little like yellow sand in an hourglass.
[Boom boom boom boom...]
Accompanied by thunder-like earth-shattering loud noises, the combat between the two almost smashed the earth to pieces.
The forest Aramaki had painstakingly created before had long ago turned into a piece of broken branches and wood.
The ground of the desert zone was even hit with one after another sunken sand pits.
The range of quicksand formed gradually spread outwards, swallowing who knows how many small lives hidden beneath the sand layer.
Aramaki's roar was even more continuous, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.
"Beast! Bastard! Go to hell!!!"
He was truly suffering. His perception was blocked, and he couldn't hit anyone.
On the contrary, the opponent hit him heavily again and again, making him look miserable, and the places hit hurt like hell.
This guy called Jigen had unimaginably great strength.
He even suspected that the power of each of the opponent's fists and feet was not inferior to Garp, recognized as the strongest in martial arts.
Fortunately, Jigen didn't have penetrating ability like 'Ryuo'.
This was truly a great fortune.
Despite this, Aramaki still couldn't see the hope of victory.
He seemed to really be unable to defeat the opponent...
Maybe try to find a method to run?
Aramaki really started to panic.
He originally liked bullying the weak with strength. If not necessary, he would not fight strong enemies to the death.
Noticing that the accumulation speed of injuries inside his body had already reached the point where even photosynthesis and Life Return were difficult to keep up with, he immediately felt the desire to retreat.
He was backed by the powerful World Government. Since he couldn't win in one-on-one combat, then he would go back and call for people!
Mr. Sakazuki might have already returned.
"Damn it, just wait, you bastard of the Ninja World! You dare to attack an Army General, you are dead for sure! Absolutely dead for sure! The World Government will not let you go!"
Aramaki roared repeatedly in his heart, and at the same time prepared to use the same trick again.
Let his clone continue to control this giant treant.
While his main body would silently return from underground along the root system to Lou Lan City.
However, Aramaki didn't notice that Jigen's pupil had turned white at some point.
This was Otsutsuki Isshiki inside his body using the Byakugan's ability.
However, because he hadn't entered complete form.
So his Byakugan only possessed the basic ability of X-ray vision. Other more advanced abilities were not present.
For example, releasing pressure, Future Sight, etc.
But this was already enough to discover Aramaki's small movements.
After all, the aura intensity of his main body was much denser than the clone.
Jigen could clearly see a mass of light green energy mass moving downwards along the root system.
"Only thinking of running now? It's a bit too late."
Jigen looked very calm, but his corresponding means were not slow.
Sukunahikona, Activate!
"Ahhhhhhh----"
The next moment, Aramaki underground appeared in human form and let out a mournful scream.
He saw that all over his body were inserted with bloody Chakra Rods.
Not only that, Aramaki in pain discovered in horror that while these Chakra Rods were absorbing his own strength, they were also disrupting the energy circulation within his body.
This made him not only become weak and powerless, but even the Mori Mori no Mi ability was difficult to use.
It was somewhat like the effect of Seastone!
At the same time, all the Chakra Rods were controlled remotely, completely disregarding Aramaki's frantic wails.
They forcibly dragged his bloody body, breaking through the soil layer above, and returned to the ground full of mess, the broken and ruined ground.
Jigen stood there, coldly watching Aramaki collapsed on the ground, as if examining the prey he had caught.
"Didn't you notice? Your Haki was already unable to stop my Chakra Rods as early as ten minutes ago."
"Damn it, ahhh, you piece of trash, do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course I know."
Jigen opened his palm, condensing a black rhombus crystal, which contained all of his own copied data.
"From now on, you will be my 'Vessel'. This is the glory bestowed upon you."
[Whoosh----]
As soon as the words fell, the crystal, like a bullet, shot into Aramaki's scarred, bloody, bare chest, which was printed with the four green characters 'Death River Heart', and merged with it!
"What exactly are you trying to do, answer me, you bastard!"
The great strength brought by 'Forest of Hatred' greatly lifted Aramaki's spirits, and he let out a roar filled with rage towards Jigen above.
"I told you, you are a very good 'Vessel'."
