Seeing the changes in the whirlpool, Ban and Okami were shocked.
"Grandma, you look so young.”
Upon hearing Okami's words, the Uzumaki Mito immediately reacted. She immediately took out a mirror and looked at herself. Even she herself found it unbelievable.
"This…"
The Swirling Mito couldn't believe what he saw. He pinched himself and realized that everything was real. He looked at the seed in Ban's hand in shock and asked.
"Ban, what kind of seed is this? Why does it contain such dense life force? I only smelled a little of its aura, and it changed so much?”
"Grandma, actually I'm not sure either. This seed belonged to Tanzo from the beginning, but later on, Tanzo used it as a reward for killing Tsunei and giving it to the five sandin. After that, Sharen Village gave it to old man Yuan Fei as compensation, and old man Yuan Fei gave it to me as compensation to Tsunashou.”
"Furthermore, old man Yuan Fei even said that this seed might only be usable by our Thousand Hand Clan. I think this is also the reason why Tuan Zang was willing to take it out even though he knew that this seed was extraordinary.”
After hearing what Stripey said, Mizufuru Mito also felt that this was the reason. Then, he ignored him and turned to think about how to deal with this seed.
"I can see that the life force of this seed far exceeds the life force of the pillar. If our Thousand Hand Clan can absorb this life force, we will definitely be able to produce another Wood Escape user.”
After saying that, Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunake and decided after some thought.
"Okami, I think you should absorb the life force of this seed. I think that you are the only one who is most likely to awaken the Wood Evasion in our Thousand Hands Clan. As for Ban, he has already awakened the Wood Evasion, so he no longer needs this life force.”
"Can I? Grandma, if the people in the clan know, they will say that Grandma is biased. Besides, wasn't Daddy here?”
"They dare. Besides, this seed was exchanged with your life. It's only right for you to use it now. If they dare to say anything, I'll cripple them even if I have to risk my old bones. As for your father, even if he knows, he will agree with my decision. Therefore, you can absorb it without worry.”
Okami was still a little hesitant after listening to the Uzumaki Mito's words. Ban also knew Okami's worries, but he also hoped that Okami could absorb this seed.
"Tsunete, listen to Grandma and absorb it without worry.”
Seeing that Ban was also supporting her, Okami no longer hesitated. She took the seed from Ban's hand and opened her mouth to put it in her mouth. However, before she could put the seed in her mouth, an incredible thing happened.
The seed's entire body suddenly emitted a chaotic green light. Then, with a whoosh, it darted out of Okami's hand and spun around the hall.
After circling around for a while, it suddenly seemed to have discovered something. It stopped and quickly flew in the direction of Ban. Its speed was so fast that no one could react in time. It had already entered Ban's body.
When the seed entered Ban's body, its body also emitted a chaotic green light. Swirling Mito and Okami became anxious and worried that something would happen to Ban.
At this moment, Ban knew its own suffering. Ever since the seed entered Ban's body, it quickly rushed into Ban's sea of consciousness. Then, it fixed itself there and kept spinning. At the same time, it emitted waves of chaotic green light.
The seed was also the reason why Ban's body was emitting a light similar to that of the seed.
Just when Ban thought that everything was fine, the seed in Ban's sea of consciousness suddenly shook violently. At the same time, the light became even more dazzling. Then, Ban felt all the power in his body, including chakra, spiritual energy, life force in his cells, and the ability of the Fruit of Vitality, flowing towards the seed and being absorbed by it.
Swirl Mito and Okami, who were watching from the outside, were even more shocked by the change in Stripey. Ban's body continued to weaken until it became as dry as a mummy.
Seeing Ban in this state, Okami cried out loudly," Ban…"
As he shouted, he ran towards Ban. Just as Tsunami was about to get close to Ban, he was repelled by the chaotic green light on Ban's body. Seeing this situation, Okami knew that he could not get close to Ban, so he could only stand there and watch, tears streaming down his face.
Ban was also very clear about what was happening outside. He was very touched by Tsunei's actions, but he could not say anything. He could only watch as his power was rapidly absorbed by the seed. He could not resist.
As he felt the power in his body continuously disappear, Ban was in a miserable state. He was a little desperate. How long would he have to absorb this seed? He didn't have much power left. Did he have to suck him dry?
Just as Ban felt that it was about to be finished, the seed suddenly stopped absorbing. Then, the light on its body gradually disappeared until it returned to its normal appearance.
Okami, who was outside, also noticed that the light on Ban's body had disappeared. However, Ban's body was still like a dried corpse. It did not recover at all. After waiting for a while, there was still no reaction from Ban. Okami thought Ban was dead, so he wanted to rush towards Ban again.
However, at this moment, the Swirling Mito stopped Tsunete.
"Let me go, Grandma. Ban is dead. I want to go over. Grandma."
Okami struggled as he spoke to the Uzumaki Mito. As he spoke, he hugged the Uzumaki Mito and burst into tears.
"Silly child, Ban is fine. Look over there.”
Swirling Mito stroked Tsunami's head as he pointed at Ban. Okami immediately stopped crying when he heard the words of the Swirling Mito. He turned to look in the direction of Stripey and saw that its body suddenly emitted a chaotic green light that was even brighter than before.
When Ban saw that the seed had stopped absorbing the energy, but there was no sign of recovery, it suddenly emitted an even more dazzling chaotic green light.
Then, Stripey saw that the seed seemed to have opened its bud. It slowly blossomed into a flower bud. Then, a purer energy surged out from its mouth and flowed into Stripey's body. It transformed into various kinds of energy and fused into Stripey's body. However, it did not have the ability of the Fruit of Vitality. Stripey guessed that the ability of the Fruit of Vitality should have been completely taken over by the seed. Stripey did not know whether to laugh or cry.
After a while, the seed stopped flowing energy to Ban. Then, it calmed down and disappeared with a swoosh. It then stopped in Ban's dantian and rotated calmly as if everything that had just happened wasn't done by it.
At this moment, Ban carefully felt his body and realized that his strength had increased again. As for Chakra, Ban had already reached the level of shadow rank, and his strength had already reached the level of quasi-shadow rank. As long as his body's strength could be further improved, he would be able to fully possess the strength of shadow rank. Of course, this was only referring to Ban's own strength, which did not include Wood Escape and Kaleidoscope Shura Eye.
Next was life force. Ban's mastery of the Wood Evasion Technique had already surpassed the Thousand Hand Pillar Technique. If they were to compete in the Wood Evasion Technique alone, the Thousand Hand Pillar Technique would not be Ban's match.
Finally, it was about mental energy. If the mental energy contained in the previous Ban was only twice that of an ordinary person, then the current Ban's mental energy contained was five times that of an ordinary person. Ban believed that he now had the Eternal Kaleidoscope Shura Eye.
This was because Ban had discovered that he had already mastered one of the Time Fruit's Time Abilities, Time Freeze. However, Stripey could only pause for a second before it consumed all of its mental power. It had to be said that the time ability was still a little useless to Stripey at the moment.
Next, he had to talk about Ban's spatial ability. As mentioned before, the only spatial abilities that Ban had were Spatial Imprisonment and Spatial Movement. The restrictions were quite large. Spatial Imprisonment could only imprison ninjas of the same strength as him, and not too many of them. Moreover, the greater the difference in strength between him and the other party, the less time the Spatial Imprisonment could last.
However, Ban's Spatial Imprisonment could now confine an area of ten meters. However, no one stronger than Ban could appear in this area. As for those who were stronger than Ban, Ban could already imprison them for two seconds. Don't underestimate two seconds. These two seconds were enough for Ban to cast a few spiraling balls.
Now, let's talk about the ability to teleport. Stripey could now teleport over long distances, but the destination had to be a place that it had been to before.
In the end, Stripey had awakened two more spatial abilities. One was a support-type spatial ability, just like the Spatial Imprisonment Spatial Movement. It could only be used as a support. This ability was the ability to transform between space and reality. The principle was to open up a space in the place where one was and then move the person into the space, leaving only a virtual body outside to confuse the opponent. The method to break the space was to force the real body out.
The last spatial ability was the first defensive ability that he had awakened so far. It was called the spatial barrier. Its ability was that wherever his eyes touched, a spatial barrier would appear. Its hardness was determined by the power of his eye. With his current power, he could create a tail beast jade that could block nine tails indefinitely. And the consumption of its eye-bloodline power was only one-third of its total eye-bloodline power. One could imagine how monstrous it was. It was not an exaggeration to call it an absolute defense.
Of course, the spatial barrier could also be broken. The first was to break it. However, no one could break it at the moment. The second was to be able to ignore this spatial barrier, such as the divine might of Kakashi and Dearthen.
