After getting everything ready, Gekko Chizan took a deep breath.
"Chōmei, are you ready?"
"I'm about to begin."
Chōmei nodded. He was ready too. Once the sealing succeeded, he would finally be free.
Although he would be bound to the boy in front of him, he felt that this kid wasn't a bad choice.
The Four Symbols Seal was a powerful sealing technique. It required the user to possess considerable strength and exceptional control over Chakra.
Fortunately, Gekko Chizan had maintained Transparent Release for years, which gave him excellent Chakra control.
Just as he was about to start drawing the Four Symbols Seal on himself, Chizan suddenly froze.
"What's wrong, kid? Why aren't you moving?"
Chōmei looked at the deep-in-thought Chizan and couldn't help but ask.
"Um… Chōmei, where do you think I should draw the seal?"
Thinking of how Naruto's seal in the original story was right over his navel, Gekko Chizan felt a bit speechless. Why put it on the belly, of all places??
Hmm… maybe it was because Naruto was so small back then, there wasn't room elsewhere...
But he wasn't small! At fourteen, he was already 1.7 meters tall—an absolute heartthrob.
If he drew it over his navel... ew, no thanks.
"Uh, does it really matter? Either way, I'm being sealed inside you, aren't I?"
"You could even carve it on your butt... Eh, no, forget I said that. Just put it on your chest."
The chest, huh?
Gekko Chizan yanked open his shirt, revealing his fairly well-built chest.
"Alright, chest it is."
"Let's do this!"
Gekko Chizan began constructing the Four Symbols Seal technique around himself.
Once the seal was completed, he faced Chōmei, extended his arms forward, and shouted:
"Four Symbols Seal!"
The sealing began. Gekko Chizan started pouring his Chakra into the seal to activate it.
The moment it started, Chōmei immediately felt a strong suction force coming from the boy in front of him.
The source of that force was Gekko Chizan's left chest.
"Come on! My friend, Chōmei!"
"Hmph, brat, Gekko Chizan, don't make me regret this!"
Chōmei snorted coldly, then began channeling his Chakra into the Four Symbols Seal.
At the same time, he infused some Chakra into the shed husk of his body, allowing it to act as a stand-in to receive the sealing from the Takigakure.
As time passed, Chizan's forehead was drenched in sweat.
The sealing he was performing was very different from what Minato had done in the original series—Minato had only sealed half of Kurama, and even had Kushina assisting with her Adamantine Sealing Chains.
But he was all alone, facing a complete Seven-Tails.
Even though the Seven-Tails wasn't as strong as Kurama, it was still a Tailed Beast—with a monstrous amount of Chakra.
"Che, kid, are you already at your limit?"
"I, Chōmei, hate seeing a friend like this the most. Hmph, I'll give you a hand."
Chōmei immediately saw that Chizan's condition was not good.
Without hesitation, he split off a portion of his Chakra and injected it into the sealing formula.
Yeah, sealing himself with his own power—besides Chōmei, you wouldn't find a second beast like that in the whole world.
With Chōmei's help, the sealing speed instantly accelerated.
An hour later, Chōmei had completely vanished—fully sealed inside Gekko Chizan.
And just as the seal completed, Chizan's vision went black and he collapsed.
A very clear Four Symbols Seal appeared on his left chest.
"Pfft, what a weak brat—passing out just from a seal."
"Sigh, looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer."
"Well, I've already waited all these years. What's a little longer?"
"Once I'm out, I'm definitely making that kid Chizan get me some bugs to eat. Ssshhhaaa… the taste of bugs, simply divine."
Chōmei lay comfortably within a giant sealing space. Even though he was sealed again,
He didn't feel concerned at all. After all, the Four Symbols Seal was aided by his own Chakra.
Its binding power on him wasn't very strong.
"Oh right, since the kid Chizan is passed out here, I can't let those bastards outside find him. Otherwise, I won't be able to leave."
"Hehe, sealing me for all these years—time for a little payback."
As Chōmei finished speaking, a stream of Chakra flew out from Gekko Chizan's body and shot toward the husk that had taken Chōmei's form.
The next second, the substitute Chōmei began struggling wildly under the Chakra's influence.
This sudden outburst threw the Takigakure ninja outside into panic.
The supposedly subdued Seven-Tails went berserk again, forcing them to resume the sealing and suppression process.
"With this, I've bought enough time for Chizan to wake up."
"I really am a genius!"
...
Gekko Chizan slept for a full day. By the time he woke, it was already the next day.
Fortunately, Chōmei had covered things up. If any of the Takigakure ninja had come in, he'd have been screwed.
"Chōmei, are you alright?"
The first thing Gekko Chizan did after waking was to check on his new partner, without a second thought.
That warmed Chōmei's heart.
This brat actually cared about him. Not bad at all.
"You'd better not die on me, or I'll never get to see those...."
Chōmei: Damn it, got happy too soon.
"Hmph, thanks to you, I'm doing just fine!"
"It's just that I used a lot of Chakra, but it's not a problem—I'll recover in no time."
That much was true. To ensure the success of the Four Symbols Seal, Chōmei had poured a significant amount of Chakra into the sealing array.
"Hahaha, thanks for all your help earlier. If it hadn't been for your Chakra, the seal would've failed for sure."
"I didn't think the Four Symbols Seal would be this difficult."
Gekko Chizan still had lingering fear.
Back when he watched the anime in his previous life, he never thought the seal would be this exhausting.
Sigh, maybe it really is the difference between people.
Minato had been trained personally by Jiraiya and already had a solid foundation in sealing techniques.
And his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, well—sealing was the trademark skill of the Uzumaki Clan.
Her Adamantine Sealing Chains were absurdly powerful.
And him? Just a moderately gifted ninja with a Kekkei Genkai. No comparison, really.
But Gekko Chizan quickly came to terms with it.
He might not be good at sealing, but when it came to stealth—
Even if you gave Minato thirty years, he still wouldn't match his level.
Transparent Release was hands down the most powerful stealth technique in the world.
Yes!
In an instant, Gekko Chizan was hyped up again. He was now officially a Jinchūriki. And with the relationship he had with Chōmei, becoming a perfect Jinchūriki would be as easy as drinking water.
geigeigei~
A flood of wild thoughts surged through his head.
Just as he was grinning wickedly—
A notification sound suddenly popped up.
