Sealing the Nine-Tails Chakra (Second Update)

"Trying tricks in front of me? Then leave one of your arms behind!"

With a cold snort, Li Chuan sent several streaks of sword light flying. Under the control of his will, they instantly severed the arm Obito had extended from the Kamui space. Then he controlled the Thousand-Armed Guanyin to crush Kakuzu into a bloody pulp with one palm.

Kakuzu had to die today. If he lived, he might cause trouble at the Fire Temple in the future, and that would be troublesome.

As for Obito, half of his body was formed from White Zetsu anyway. It would grow back after being cut off, so a warning was enough.

"Oh dear, oh dear, Senior Kakuzu, don’t blame me. It’s not that I didn’t save you—it’s just that the enemy was too strong. A newcomer like me simply couldn’t beat him."

Obito appeared in the distance, swinging his empty right arm with a frightened expression.

Li Chuan looked at the disguised Obito, put away the Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue, and then spoke in an arrogant, condescending tone:

"Looks like you’re just a lowly soldier of the Akatsuki Organization. There’s no point in killing you. Go back and tell your leader that Konoha already knows you’re hiding in Amegakure, and that the current leader of the Rain Ninja is Akatsuki’s leader.

"You won’t be able to hide for much longer. A bunch of rogue ninja dreaming of seizing the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages—do you really think everyone else is an idiot?

"Once Konoha selects a new Hokage, we’ll contact the leaders of the other ninja villages and join forces to eliminate rogue ninja like you. We’ll also let the Land of Rain understand the price of opposing the Five Great Nations."

"Nagato’s identity was exposed? Was it Danzo?

"Impossible. With Danzo’s personality, he would never share Akatsuki’s information with the Third. He should be hoping Akatsuki causes trouble for Konoha.

"What exactly went wrong?"

Upon hearing Li Chuan’s words, the laughing Obito suddenly froze.

With Hidan and Kakuzu dead, Akatsuki’s strength had already been weakened somewhat. If Nagato’s identity were completely exposed and the Land of Rain became a target for all, prompting the Five Great Nations to attack together, that would be a serious problem.

They had yet to gather all nine tailed beasts. They had no chance of winning a war against the Five Great Nations, and his Moon Eye Plan would be impossible to complete.

"Looks like I’ll have to gather our strength and destroy Konoha first!"

Having made up his mind, Obito did not intend to fight the troublesome Li Chuan any longer and expose more of his abilities. He directly activated Kamui and left.

Seeing Obito leave, a smile immediately appeared on Li Chuan’s lips.

Under normal circumstances, he definitely could not become Hokage. Even if Danzo supported him, the daimyo supported him, and he persuaded the two advisors to support him as well, as long as the Third insisted on vetoing it, he still would not be able to become the Fifth Hokage.

But there was one exception: if everyone in Konoha wanted him to become Hokage, then even the Third would have to follow public opinion and could no longer stop him.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, Mind Body Switch Technique, Expansion Jutsu, Shadow Imitation Technique, and so on—once he became Hokage, none of the secret techniques of the major clans or famous ninjutsu would escape his grasp.

His goal for these six months in the Naruto World was to become Konoha’s leader and collect all of Konoha’s ninjutsu.

"We won! We won!"

Seeing Li Chuan kill Kakuzu and frighten away the masked man, the monks of the Fire Temple immediately cheered.

"Master Chiriku, you weren’t hurt, were you?"

After Obito’s presence had completely disappeared, Li Chuan turned and walked over to Chiriku.

Chiriku smiled and shook his head.

"No. I just used up a little too much Chakra. I’ll be fine after resting for a while."

"Oh, right. Sora, come here for a moment."

At that moment, Li Chuan noticed Sora standing behind the other monks. His heart stirred, and he beckoned to him.

Inside Sora was a mass of Nine-Tails Chakra that his father Kazuma had gathered. Li Chuan had previously considered transferring that mass of Nine-Tails Chakra into his own body.

But at the time, his Sealing Technique had been terrible, and the amount of Chakra in his body had not been enough. He feared the Nine-Tails Chakra would overwhelm his own and affect his mind.

However, after all this time, his Sealing Technique had long since become highly proficient. He had also learned quite a few Taoist Sealing Formations, and senjutsu itself could suppress Nine-Tails Chakra.

Since he was here this time, he could take it into his body.

Tailed beasts possessed their own consciousness. He feared that if he took one into his body, it would be removed when he left this world. But the mass of Nine-Tails Chakra was merely a clump of the Nine-Tails’ energy, so he did not need to worry about that.

As long as he had this mass of Nine-Tails energy, he would possess the tailed beasts’ ability to continuously absorb external energy and convert it into Chakra. So long as he did not use too much Chakra at once, he would not have to worry about exhausting his Chakra.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Hearing his senior brother call for him, Sora immediately ran over happily.

Li Chuan was the only person in the temple besides Chiriku who treated him normally, and Sora admired him greatly as well.

"Looks like we’ll have to repair this place properly again."

Looking at the Fire Temple, more than half of which had been shattered in the battle, Chiriku could not help but feel a headache coming on.

Li Chuan patted Sora’s head, seeming to notice the worry in Chiriku’s eyes.

"Leave it to me!"

He walked over to the damaged parts of the Fire Temple, raised a hand, and pointed.

"Repair to Original State!"

As Li Chuan continuously poured out magic power, the miraculous effect of the Repairing Charm began to take effect. Everywhere Li Chuan passed, it was as though time had reversed, and everything returned to its original state.

All the Fire Temple’s monks, including the well-informed abbot Chiriku, were left dumbfounded by the sight.

Was there really such a ninjutsu in the world? Was this not a divine technique?

"You said you already know what’s going on inside Sora?"

Inside a room at the Fire Temple, Chiriku’s face revealed a delighted expression.

He still vividly remembered Sora’s rampage several years ago. It had always been a source of worry for him. He feared that Sora’s body might develop problems again someday, which was why he had never dared to teach Sora how to train.

If Li Chuan was the disciple he admired most and took the greatest pride in, then Sora, a child who had once lost his friends, was like Chiriku’s own son.

"Yes. I know a child in Konoha who has the same energy fluctuations within him as Sora, so I suspected that someone implanted tailed beast Chakra into Sora’s body."

"What? How could that be?"

Shock appeared in Chiriku’s eyes.

He had learned a little about tailed beasts and Jinchuriki from Asuma. He knew they were weapons of war used by the major ninja villages, tremendously powerful but also easily subject to backlash.

The key was, how could such a thing have been implanted into Sora’s body?

"Master Chiriku, don’t worry. I know how to remove this power from Sora’s body without harming him. After that, there will be no need to worry about his body developing problems again. He can train and live normally."

Li Chuan said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Sora wore a confused expression. He could not understand what Li Chuan and Chiriku were talking about.

"It’s just curing an illness in your body. Once you’re cured, Master Chiriku will personally teach you how to train."

After explaining briefly, and receiving Chiriku’s consent, Li Chuan began using the Four Symbols Seal to seal the mass of Nine-Tails Chakra in Sora’s body into the Sealing Scroll he had prepared in advance.
