Chapter 118: Level 11 Substitution Technique! (Seeking subscriptions and monthly votes)
"We can't just have Rin hiding forever, can we?" Uzumaki Kushina said.
Rin Nohara quickly responded, "It's okay!"
Sarutobi Asuma said, "White Zetsu's information gathering abilities are extremely strong. He can probably come and go in Konoha as he pleases."
"Hiding is naturally impossible."
"Therefore, we need to change Rin!"
Tsunade frowned, "Transformation Technique?"
"I'm afraid not. Even your Transformation Technique couldn't remain undetected indefinitely."
"What's more, there's the Three-Tails. They might have done something to the Three-Tails as well."
Jiraiya agreed, "Tsunade is right!"
Sarutobi Asuma looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Third Hokage-sama, I need all records pertaining to Yin-Yang Release, including Ninjutsu."
After speaking, he turned to Tsunade again, "Tsunade-nee-chan, the Senju Clan's..."
Before he could finish, Tsunade waved her hand, "Go look for yourself."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded with a smile, then said solemnly, "First, I need to split the Three-Tails!"
"When a Tailed Beast leaves its Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki will surely die."
"But if the Jinchuriki dies, the Three-Tails will also revive."
"So, I need to split the Three-Tails and take one part out."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said gravely, "Splitting the Three-Tails, can you do it?"
Sarutobi Asuma thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be a big problem."
"I can use the art of Yin-Yang Release to divide the Three-Tails into Yin and Yang parts, or rather, to separate its soul and body. Tailed Beasts are special, they are a collection of Chakra."
"And Chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual and physical strength. I only need to split off a part."
Sarutobi Asuma already had a plan for this.
Moreover, there was no need to use a sealing technique like the Reaper Death Seal, which would lead to mutual destruction. Yin-Yang Release could achieve the same goal.
When he captured the One-Tails Jinchuriki before, he simply didn't have his current abilities. Otherwise, he would have split the One-Tail instead of just borrowing some Chakra.
"Asuma, even after splitting the Three-Tails, there's no guarantee that the news of Rin's death won't be leaked," Jiraiya said.
"Of course."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded, "So, the second step is to change Rin's Chakra, allowing her to walk around 'openly,' and then have Obito meet Rin and pull him out of the darkness."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Shinya, and Jiraiya were all moved.
A spy!
However, none of them spoke.
Uzumaki Kushina laughed, "Asuma, don't keep us in suspense. You've planned everything, haven't you!"
"This..."
Sarutobi Asuma looked a little embarrassed and quickly said, "I just have a few ideas."
"Well, using Sage Chakra to mask Rin's own Chakra."
"Sage Chakra?"
Jiraiya looked at Rin, "Asuma, this little girl probably can't master Sage Mode."
"Let alone maintain it for a long time."
"Even using your Sage Power Eight Trigrams Seal won't work."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded, "That's natural, unless she completely tames the Three-Tails."
"But there is another method, which is Sage Transformation!"
Everyone was somewhat bewildered, as they didn't understand Sage Mode very well.
Jiraiya, however, widened his eyes, "Sage Transformation?"
"You want to use Natural Energy to alter Rin's physical body?"
Natural Energy eroding the body would change it, and consequently, her Chakra would also change.
At the very least, it wouldn't be immediately identifiable upon sensing.
"That's too crude!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled, "I'll use a gentler method."
"Like the Cursed Seal!"
"Mm, research a Sage Transformation Cursed Seal, to alter Rin's Chakra using the Cursed Seal's power."
"Then arrange Rin in the Anbu, and change the method."
As he spoke, Sarutobi Asuma retrieved a sealing scroll and took out Samehada from within.
"Rin, from now on, this sword belongs to you!"
Everyone looked at Samehada, then at the relatively delicate Rin Nohara, and then looked at Sarutobi Asuma with a strange expression.
"Hahaha!"
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly burst into laughter, "This is a good idea!"
"If Rin uses this big sword to attack people, I think even if Obito himself stood in front of her, he wouldn't recognize her!"
Sarutobi Asuma smiled playfully and said, "Samehada originally attached itself to the Three-Tails, so it's most suitable for a Three-Tails Jinchuriki."
As if understanding Sarutobi Asuma's words, Samehada immediately moved.
Sarutobi Asuma let go, and the sword immediately bounced its way over to Rin Nohara.
Rin Nohara was startled. It was the first time she had seen such a sword, and for a moment, she was at a loss.
With the plan settled, Sarutobi Asuma began to get busy.
However, he first created a Shadow Clone to gather information.
His main body returned home with his father and older brother. Before they parted, Sarutobi Asuma stated bluntly that he did not trust Danzō and that this matter must be kept secret from him.
"Understood!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
After he left, Sarutobi Shinya complained to Sarutobi Asuma, "You should have been more tactful!"
"Besides, Father knows what's important."
Sarutobi Asuma didn't care, "We're family, no need to be so formal."
Sarutobi Shinya shook his head helplessly.
Returning to his room.
Sarutobi Asuma opened the system.
The harvest this time was significant.
In the achievements section, the achievement [Savior] had changed again, from 2 people to 4.
However, the reward this time was a little different.
Besides 2 free Attribute Points and 2 free Skill Points, there was no Skill Pack, but instead 2 Intelligence Stats.
This was the first time he had received such a reward.
"These two rewards should be from Kakashi and Rin, Uchiha Obito doesn't count."
The Attribute Points were still allocated to Constitution, and the 2 Intelligence Stats could only be allocated to Intelligence.
"Intelligence broke a hundred, 101. Constitution is 99.8, just a little short of 100!"
Sarutobi Asuma was genuinely delighted.
After working so hard, he was finally not disappointed.
"If I work hard tonight, I can completely break a hundred."
Sarutobi Asuma calculated inwardly, then looked at his Skill Points.
He had accumulated 7 Skill Points.
Then Sarutobi Asuma opened his skill list.
There were only two skills that had broken through the system's original level cap of 10.
Level 11 Chakra Control and Level 11 Yang Style Chakra Nature Transformation.
Sarutobi Asuma's gaze swept around, and it landed on the Level 10 Substitution Technique.
Speaking of Ninjutsu, only Adamantine Sealing Chains and Substitution Technique had reached Level 10, the Six Paths level.
For Adamantine Sealing Chains, Sarutobi Asuma only had enough Chakra when releasing the Yin Seal to unleash its full power.
Of course, the power was adjustable.
The same Level 10 Substitution Technique consumed much less Chakra.
Even when swapping positions separated by a hundred miles, it only consumed two-thirds of his own Chakra.
And this involved quite profound spatial mysteries.
"At Level 11, there should be more changes..."
Sarutobi Asuma thought of Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan and Uchiha Madara's power, and immediately made a decision.
Substitution Technique Level 10 + 1!
A large amount of information flooded his mind.
Sarutobi Asuma lowered his eyes and absorbed it.
Half an hour later.
Sarutobi Asuma opened his eyes, overjoyed.
"Just as I predicted, there's a huge change compared to the Level 10 Substitution Technique!"
