Chapter 37 - The New Nine-Tails Jinchūriki
Opening the Death Gate in the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu will result in death.
And...if the acupuncture points are similar to the Eight Gates, the chakra inside them cannot be used.
Li Yao quickly controlled the chakra in the acupuncture points to fly out of the acupuncture point range.
As expected, it failed.
No matter how Li Yao controlled it, the chakra acupoints were like a closed secret room, with no gaps for the chakra to escape.
The acupuncture points were tightly bound by a powerful invisible force, and the chakra could not flow out.
Only physical energy and spiritual energy can flow in and out freely.
Next, Li Yao tried to control the chakra in other acupuncture points, and found that they were all the same, firmly bound in the acupuncture points and unable to get out.
"This is really troublesome!"
The acupoint at the death gate is easy to deal with. Li Yao just needs to change to another acupoint to accumulate chakra.
But if the chakra in all the acupoints cannot come out, it will be useless no matter how much chakra he accumulates!
Isn't this equivalent to being sealed by the Bagua Sealing Technique?
Perhaps it is precisely because of the ability of acupoints to seal chakra that the people who developed the Bagua Seal and other chakra sealing techniques did not take acupoints into consideration.
Li Yao thought about it and was not too anxious.
After a while, Li Yaochen calmed down.
The chakra in the acupoints is not always locked and unusable.
The existence of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu proves that chakra points can be opened.
It's just that Li Yao doesn't know the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and doesn't know how to open the chakra points.
But as long as he is sure that it can be opened, he can just slowly explore it.
After all, the Eight Gates was also developed by humans.
With his absolute control over chakra and unique chakra perception ability, as long as he works hard, he will definitely find a way to open the acupoint door.
In the following time, Li Yao condensed chakra in the other seven acupoints outside the Death Gate, while controlling the chakra to flow in the acupoints. At the same time, he concentrated his perception ability on the acupoints and conducted a comprehensive study of the invisible force that bound the chakra in the acupoints.
Time goes by day by day.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed and it was the spring of the 34th year of Konoha.
At this time, a year and a half had passed since Li Yao came to this world.
He was still quietly sealed away in Laboratory No. 2, with no one studying him and no one caring about him, as if he had been forgotten.
This is indeed the case. In the Ninja School, except for his "good friend" Minato Namikaze, everyone else's memory of Li Yao has become completely vague.
This day.
At the Konoha Ninja School, a girl with long blood-red pepper hair enters Minato's class.
From then on, the gears of fate began to turn.
I don't know if it's fate or Minato's strong chakra perception ability, but he always appears silently by the side when the red-haired girl is bullied, and doesn't help, just watches.
Gradually, the image of the red-haired girl became clearer and clearer in his mind.
The position of his former good friend Kimura Yo was gradually replaced.
Also on this day.
The other side of the ninja world.
The Land of Earth.
Iwagakure Village.
Tsuchikage Office Building.
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, a small figure of 1.3 meters tall, sat on a specially made high chair and listened to the information reported by the Anbu ninja with a frown.
"So, Konoha already has a new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama."
Anbu Tsuchigumi spoke in a tone of shame, lowering his head slightly and blaming himself: "It's all because I didn't do a good job of gathering intelligence. Please punish me, sir."
He has always been responsible for monitoring and observing whether the Uzumaki clan has produced a clan member who can inherit the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
As a result, he did not immediately gather the Uzumaki clan members who could inherit the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and kill them.
Only after they were sent to Konoha Village did he confirm that the girl named Uzumaki Shinkuna possessed extremely powerful sealing chakra that could suppress and seal the Nine-Tails.
His mission can be said to have been a complete failure.
"Tsuchimu, don't blame yourself. The Uzumaki clan is difficult to monitor."
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, waved his hand to comfort the ANBU ninja named Tsuchikage who was actually his nephew.
What he said was actually not wrong. The Uzumaki clan was born with a huge amount of chakra, and they were proficient in sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu, and their subtle control over chakra was particularly powerful.
Generally speaking, if one has a huge amount of chakra and strong control over the subtle aspects of chakra, it will be easy to master the chakra perception ability.
Therefore, the Uzumaki clan has the most ninjas with chakra perception ability among all the ninja clans in the ninja world.
Even if all the ninjas with chakra sensing abilities in the hidden villages of a country were added together, they would not have as many people with chakra sensing abilities as the Uzumaki clan.
It is naturally difficult to monitor a family with so many ninjas with chakra sensing abilities in depth and accurately.
Doki was deceived, and Ohnoki completely understood.
As long as he knew that the Uzumaki clan had produced a new Jinchūriki who could seal the Nine-Tails, Tsuchiya's surveillance mission would not be in vain.
The most difficult problem now is that Konoha has a new Jinchūriki who will inherit the Nine-Tails.
Ohnoki was well aware of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power.
That was a terrifying power that completely surpassed the other eight tailed beasts.
That kind of powerful force, let's put it this way.
In the entire ninja world, only the Uzumaki clan geniuses who are born with more chakra than other Uzumaki clan members can seal the Nine-Tails firmly in their bodies.
Other ninjas simply cannot seal the Nine-Tails into their bodies. Once they forcibly seal it, they will be instantly eroded by the Nine-Tails' huge and evil chakra and become its food.
This shows how powerful the Nine-Tailed Fox is.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who can seal the Nine-Tails tightly into his body without being eroded by the Nine-Tails' chakra, must be even more terrifying in strength.
During the last Ninja World War, it was thought that with the death of the first and second generations, the various countries in the Ninja World could take over a piece of fertile land from the Fire Nation.
As a result, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the wife of the God of Ninja, and the former princess of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Mito, only made one move and let the ninja world see what the God of Ninja and the Shura of Ninja World were like. She was the strongest fighter in the ninja world after that.
Even Ohnoki, who possesses the bloodline-based ninjutsu of Dust Release, believes that he has no chance of defeating Uzumaki Mito.
After all, he is a member of the Uzumaki clan who possesses a huge amount of chakra, and he is also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with the most terrifying chakra amount.
The amount of Uzumaki Mito's chakra was so huge that even Noki couldn't describe it.
In addition, Uzumaki Mito is proficient in sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu, barrier techniques, etc.
He is also a strong man who came from the Warring States Period and has rich combat experience.
Ohnoki imagined several situations in which he would fight against Uzumaki Mito, and he had no chance of winning in any of them. At most, he would end up in a draw in a short period of time.
But if time drags on, he will surely lose.
During the Ninja World War that year, it was because of Uzumaki Mito's presence in the rear that the declining situation on the front battlefield was stabilized, allowing the Third Hokage and others to slowly tip the balance of victory back to Konoha, and making other countries' ninja villages completely give up the idea of dividing up the Fire Nation's land, thus establishing the Fire Nation's current reputation as the strongest.
It can be said that as long as Uzumaki Mito is alive, other ninja villages will not have the idea of sending troops to declare war on the Land of Fire.
Fortunately, Uzumaki Mito is getting older, and his chakra amount will become less and less, so it will become more and more difficult to seal the Nine-Tails.
According to Ohnoki's estimate, at most ten years.
Uzumaki Mito can only hold on for ten years at most before she dies because she cannot suppress the Nine-Tails in her body.
When Uzumaki Mito dies and there is no one to seal the Nine-Tails, Konoha will inevitably be in chaos.
Even if there was no major chaos, Konoha without the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would no longer pose any pressure on him and the Iwagakure Village.
Ohnoki believed that after so many years of his management, the strength of Iwagakure Village had long surpassed that of Konoha.
As long as Uzumaki Mito dies, he will definitely be able to lead the Iwagakure Village to defeat the Fire Nation and bite off a piece of tempting land from the Fire Nation's mouth.
But now... with the emergence of the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Ōnoki's plan encountered an unexpected problem.
Once Konoha regains the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is from the Uzumaki clan, who can say that the little girl will not become the next Uzumaki Mito.
Even if he is not as strong as Uzumaki Mito, he is definitely not much worse.
And... if there is a second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there will be a third and a fourth.
Ultimately, the existence of the Uzumaki clan is too outrageous.
If only I could...hmm!
Ohnoki suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
For example...how about destroying the Uzumaki clan?
Without the Uzumaki clan and their powerful sealing chakra, the Nine-Tails will never have a jinchūriki.
The more he thought about it, the more this seemed like a good idea to him.
However, the Iwagakure Village alone cannot destroy the Uzumaki clan in a short period of time, making it difficult for Konoha to react. It also requires the cooperation of other ninja villages.
"I think Kumogakure and Kirigakure would also be happy to destroy the Uzumaki clan."
Ohnoki smiled inwardly. The Uzumaki clan, which had been allied with Konoha for generations, was a thorn in the eyes of all the major ninja villages. At the same time, they possessed the most powerful sealing techniques in the ninja world, which made the major ninja villages fearful and envious at the same time.
It is best to eliminate this destined enemy, and you can also gain powerful sealing techniques from it.
Perhaps after obtaining a more powerful sealing technique, the Jinchūriki of their ninja village can also become a perfect Jinchūriki like Uzumaki Mito who can control the chakra power of the tailed beasts.
During this period, except for Konoha's Uzumaki Mizutani, the jinchūriki of other ninja villages were incomplete and unable to use the power of the tailed beasts.
On the contrary, because he had to use chakra to suppress the tailed beast sealed in his body at all times, his strength not only did not increase, but he also had to worry about the tailed beast going out of control and hurting the people in his ninja village.
It can be said that at this time, the Jinchūriki of each village are all super time bombs, and the strength they can exert is not as good as when they were not Jinchūriki.
Only Uzumaki Mito, relying on powerful sealing techniques and a huge amount of chakra, can forcibly extract the Nine-Tails' chakra for his own use without worrying about the Nine-Tails going berserk.
This is something that no other ninja village's jinchūriki can do.
If they had the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, they might be able to do what Uzumaki Mito did.
The more he thought about these possibilities, the more determined Ohnoki became to destroy the Uzumaki clan.
Soon, Ōnoki secretly sent people to contact Kumogakure and Kirigakure to discuss the possibility of joining forces to destroy the Uzumaki clan.
Unexpectedly, Kumogakure and Kirigakure also had this idea.
They also knew the information that Konoha had a new successor to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and they also saw the potential danger of the Uzumaki clan and the huge benefits that would be gained by destroying the Uzumaki clan.
This time, as soon as Iwagakure took the lead, Kumogakure and Kirigakure immediately responded.
Thus, a plan to exterminate the Uzumaki clan slowly unfolded.
What does all this have to do with Li Yao?
