N-A-A Chapter 54: After 35 years in Konoha, the Yin Seal is finally complete.
Chapter 54: After 35 years in Konoha, the Yin Seal is finally complete.
October 3, Konoha 35.
In a grove of trees outside Konoha.
Gojo Yoru and Orochimaru appeared out of thin air without any warning.
"Go back and get some rest. I'll give you a few extra days off this time. Wait for my call to assemble."
After registering and returning to the village, Orochimaru still parted ways with Gojo Yoru on the same spot and went to the Hokage Building to hand in his mission and report on his work.
"Understood, Orochimaru-sensei."
Gojo Yoru was happy with this.
Back home, Gojo immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The most inconvenient thing about being out is undoubtedly taking a shower.
If it's an espionage mission, Gojo Yoru can find a water source outside, or use the Flying Thunder God Technique to find a populated place to stay.
If you're feeling particularly willful, you could even go back to your home in Konoha to sleep, and then return to your starting point the next day to wait.
However, in escort missions, Gojo Yoru and Orochimaru have to stay by the client's side at all times to protect them, so they don't have time to take a shower.
Gojo Yoru was in an even worse situation. As his disciple, he was assigned the night watch duties, and even his rest time was squeezed out.
If given a choice, Gojo Yoru would rather fight against a ninja squad and go through a life-or-death battle than do this kind of escort mission.
However, Gojo also had an unexpected bonus during this mission.
"I never expected that the first thing to be completed would be spacetime. Is this the pure benefit?"
With a towel tied around her lower body, Gojo Yoru looked at the boy in the mirror, her icy blue eyes filled with surprise.
On Gojo Yoru's chest, slightly below the Tanzhong acupoint, a tattoo had appeared at some point.
It was a black, diamond-shaped mark, very light in color, but already formed.
This is the S-rank sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan—the Yin Seal.
After figuring out how to cultivate this sealing technique, Gojo Yoru had a wild idea: he wanted to condense two rhombus-shaped marks.
Others can't do it because they only have ordinary chakra in their bodies.
Within Gojo Yoru's body, there exist two separate and independent chakra systems.
Unlike the Yin Seal formed by ordinary chakra, it can only exist on the forehead, allowing for microscopic chakra monitoring and keeping the body's functions at their peak.
The Space-Time Yin Seal of Gojou Yoru only requires the storage of space-time chakra.
Therefore, the space-time seal of Gojo Yoru is concentrated in the location closest to the heart.
Perhaps because space-time chakra is relatively pure, without distinction between Yin and Yang chakra, and cannot be converted into the five elements, Gojo Yakumo's speed in mastering the Space-Time Yin Seal is much faster than that of the ordinary Yin Seal.
The diamond mark has been formed. All that's left is for Wujiao to accumulate over time so that he can break the space-time chakra capacity limit.
"With this thing, even if the [Gift of Time and Space] doesn't come this year, my strength will still increase dramatically."
Touching the diamond-shaped mark on his chest with his index finger, Gojo felt a deep sense of security.
In fact, after mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru was no longer afraid of the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War.
His weaknesses are indeed very obvious. Without becoming ethereal, he is easily affected by illusions, and inhaling poisonous smoke can also cause him to be poisoned. His senses are also weak, making him vulnerable to assassination.
However, as long as you are careful, these are not a big deal.
No matter what kind of enemy or situation he faces, he can immediately escape by using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
What's most deadly about Gojo Yoru is his space-time chakra capacity, which is only at the genin level.
Even if Gojo Yoru's chakra control is now strong enough to condense space-time chakra into a Rasengan, this amount of capacity is simply not enough.
If it weren't for the low energy consumption of Hollowfication and Dimensional Slash, Gojo Yoru wouldn't even dare to use this set of the strongest shield and spear in high dimensions casually.
Now... the hard times are finally over!
……
"Yoru, if you ask Orochimaru-sensei for help, can I also apply for early graduation?"
On the bank of the waterfall's pool, Kushina Uzumaki finished her sensory training for the day and was sitting back-to-back with Yoru Gojo on the grass.
While admiring the blue sky and white clouds, she suddenly asked a question.
"Why are you suddenly thinking of graduating early? Did some jerk at school bully you again?"
"No, it's just that I feel like school has become completely boring."
Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but complain, "Those guys are too weak. During hand-to-hand combat, I'm afraid I might accidentally use too much force and send them to the hospital."
"A place where you have to be so restrained even in battle is just too boring."
Gojo Yoru's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Given your status, even if you graduate early, you won't be able to carry out missions beyond D-rank. If you're bored, just send a shadow clone to the school to deal with it."
"That's what's so annoying! Training is already exhausting, and then this sudden fatigue is just awful!"
Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but elbow Yoru Gojo, causing the latter to gasp in pain.
"You tomato-like bastard, if you dare touch my waist again, I'll kill you!"
Gojo Yoru grabbed Kushina Uzumaki's hair and ruffled it wildly, warning her through gritted teeth.
"You foul-mouthed Yoru, you messed up my hair. Watch out, or I'll punch you into the ER." Kushina Uzumaki pinched Yoru's cheek in return, and the two of them started wrestling on the grass again, as expected.
The two, who became friends through fighting, almost always started fighting at the slightest disagreement, which became their main way of communicating.
-
At that moment, three high-pitched eagle cries reached their ears simultaneously.
The two people rolling in the grass stopped instinctively and looked up at the sky.
Like them were the ninjas and villagers of Konoha.
Then, some Jonin who were also in the wilderness suddenly changed their expressions and turned into afterimages as they rushed towards the Hokage Building.
"This time there are three eagles, what kind of signal is that?"
Kushina Uzumaki, whose shadow clones were even slacking off at the Ninja Academy, couldn't help but ask.
"The signal is the same, only this time it's super urgent." Gojo Yoru's eyes narrowed slightly. "The fact that they're in such a hurry to start an internal meeting suggests that something big has happened."
"What major event could it be? It can't be the Ninja World War, can it?"
Kushina Uzumaki, who was making sarcastic remarks, didn't notice that Yoru Gojo's expression was gradually becoming serious.
Konoha 35th year.
August 9th marks the 12th birthday of the Crown Prince of Konoha.
If the butterfly effect hadn't occurred, he wouldn't even have been able to celebrate his birthday this year.
Furthermore, the ninja world is already in complete chaos; the last mission even saw major powers robbing each other. It's not surprising that a ninja war has broken out.
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
Gojo Yoru stood up, reached out his hand to Uzumaki Kushina, and pulled the girl up from the grass.
The next second, the scene around the two suddenly changed from the shore of the waterfall pool to a cozy room.
In contrast, the conference room in the Hokage Building was solemn and serious.
