It wasn't all that hard really since I merely o at for my new level of chakra and augment my trol for it. It barely took me two days to adjust perfectly a bay regur schedule. If you were w about my progress on copying Shiro's ability then I had the unfortunate news of utterly failing. Copying the chakra movements iece of cake but without knowily which elements made up the ability I simply couldn't replicate it's effects. There was also the issue of ratios and implementation that o be taken into sideration.-

  Needless to say my progress was abysmal pared t to copy the rest of my beasts abilities. Even my lizards ability was ing along much better and I couldn't se's chakra flow when the ability was ihe ability cut off all forms of sensory information that could be detected other tha, sound and natural energy which as you expect was really damn hard to copy. The only reason I was even making any progress at all was because I had my lizard use it's ability in a localized area on it's body like a single leg or head and worked to copy the chakra flow I could still perceive outside of those areas.-

  Thanks to this I was slowly but surely getting a full mapping of it's chakra flow and all that came after that was the elemental chakra nature transformation required to pull it off. I suppose I should also sort of mention that my caterpilr had finally coed up after growing nearly te long and four feet wide, it was a ky looking bug. The co was also blindingly bright as far as natural energy was ed as it ractically drawing in an o of the stuff.-

  Not that I was all that surprised by this sidering the gluttonous thing had beeing my sage chakra for nearly the eime I had it. That was to say a little uwo and a half years of near daily ption of my sage chakra. Frankly speaking I'd be disappointed if whatever the caterpilr turned into wasn't a sage beast straight out the gate after so much familiarization with natural energy during it's developmental phase. I wouldn't be angry if it turned out otherwise but definitely disappointed.-

  Thanks to the supplements that I nurly fed my beasts as treats the rest of my beasts had also grown siderably more powerful as well. My hawk was now nearly as strong as a peak in, my cat was the same. My turtle had barely broken into special Joniory but only then because of it's extreme defense and size. It was nearly the size of a boulder and it's shell was so durable that not even I with all my strength could crack it. Kiba(the wolfdog) was firmly in Jonin level.-

  My Bear was ae Jonin level lumbering mass of physical destru over sixteeall and covered in a thick yer of muscle and fat u's tough hide that zed about whe wasing. Akasha(my tiger) was sed only to Shiro in terms of poeak elite Jonin and spent most of her day stalking the ninjas foolish enough to wander into her territory. She didn't attack them but she seemed to enjoy inflig terror on them as she lets them know subtly that she was there without exposing herself. My snake eak in aering on the edge of stepping into special Jonin though needed a bit more to truly reach that point.-

  Mizuhe(the cricket) was at the mid special Jonin level and had stopped growing at two feet long and five ihick from back to belly. Despite this however it had begun to learn how to create mist that allowed it's natural ability to shine. My lizard was also at the mid in level but that was mostly because it specialized ih rather than bat. Finally of course was my first beast Ren(the scorpion) that was now the size of a rge hill and showed no signs of stopping it's growth.-

  Ren was my third stro beast at elite Jonin level but with a slight caveat, it didn't fight well with others. The reason for this was simply because his toxins had reached such a high level of lethality and vasthat he could saturate a massive area with them easily whiaturally meant it would effect allies and enemies alike. Unfortuhis meant if I wanted him to fight at his best I couldn't summon any other beasts as well as having to be effectively aloh the enemy. It was a heavy restri to be sure but there was nothing I could do about it.-

  On average the fighting power of all my beasts biogether eak special Jonin to low Jonin level which was certainly nothing to scoff at. What this meant was that in a war time sario I was effectively a one man ptoon, a strong o that even without including Shiro's ability. I'm going to be ho here my es ability was busted to hell and back as if unleashed at maximum range(which was quite rge) it could destroy the entire vilge in an instant.-

  Miles of people, pnts, animals and everything else all frozen solid in a single moment. Of course such a rge attaes with an equally intense cost as I estimated that should Shiro unleash su attack it would render him helpless and dangerously low on chakra. I'm talking a sneeze away from death low on chakra. This area of effect type nature of his ability was also the reason the Hokage told me that in terms of da was higher than the dust release of the Tsuchikage. Dust release arently extremely pa nature and thus not suitable for wide area attacks but makes up for it in sheer destructiveness.-

  Zero release however was ONLY area of effe nature so while siderably less destructive it was far much more difficult to dodge pared to dust release hence making it a greater threat betweewo. You may be w what Danzo was doing since he obviously knew about Shiro? To ahat you o uand that Danzo I had found was all about moving i and scheming to himself. Naturally this meant he was definitely making pns i and was merely waiting for the right oppurtunity to act.-

  That was fine by me though as I had my own pns in this regard to finally pluck out this thorn from my side. I couldn't justify killing the old bastard in cold blood unless I wao be treated like a traitor to the vilge but the moment he made a move I was going to rip his heart out one way or ahere was no avoiding it either as it was clear that her of us were willing to tolerate the behavior aence of the other.
