"Based on the information transmitted by my body earlier, I can now analyze Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains."
After returning home, Hyuga Arima stood in the courtyard, eyes closed, replaying the process of the Adamantine Sealing Chains' activation in his mind.
Such family inheritance secret techniques, unlike the Five Element Release that can be copied by the Sharingan, often require the user to possess Yin and Yang nature Chakra to be performed, making them uncopiable.
Hyuga Arima reviewed Kushina's activation process, clearly distinguishing the hand seals she formed and the Chakra circulation route.
However, the Chakra she refined was not the usual blue, but was output after integrating a dark purple attribute.
"Is this… Yin-nature Chakra?"
Arima mused, "It seems the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan is likely limited by Chakra nature. Can I still learn it then…?"
Opening his eyes, his body seemed to have memorized Kushina's activation method, hand seals, and Chakra circulation.
The moment he tried to output it, he felt a delay in his Chakra, and a jolt of alarm.
But the next moment, a dark purple attribute, as if naturally present within his body, merged into it, transforming it into Yin-nature Chakra.
"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Click, click, click.
A pale gold Chakra chain slowly extended from his back.
But before he could get excited, he realized his Chakra had been completely depleted… At this point, the Chakra chain was barely half a meter long.
Hyuga Arima : "…"
So, Kushina could extend it 10 meters, while he only managed half a meter, meaning Kushina's Chakra was 20 times his… Considering how effortlessly Kushina did it, this multiple could even increase.
To put it in perspective, a 12-year-old Naruto = 100 units of Chakra, a 7-year-old Kushina is approximately 1/2 of Naruto, so Kushina = 50 units of Chakra, Kushina = 20 Arima , therefore…
Hyuga Arima = 2.5 Kakashi!
"It seems my Chakra reserves, though not comparable to those beasts of the Uzumaki Clan, are still much stronger than Uchiha Kakashi's, and…"
He muttered to himself, "My mental strength has greatly improved with the awakening of the Sharingan, but my physical energy is still limiting my Chakra reserves. So, can I temporarily boost myself to the Uzumaki Clan's level by going all out?"
"Theoretically, yes!"
Hyuga Arima opened his eyes, his attention falling on the Chakra chain behind him.
"So, what can a half-meter Adamantine Sealing Chains do…?"
The pale gold chain swayed back and forth, looking like a small tail… Maybe it could be used to act cute?
If Kushina were lying on the bed, wagging her little Chakra tail… *cough*!
Hyuga Arima quickly reined in his chaotic thoughts and pulled a Shuriken from his ninja tool pouch.
"Let's see if it can block it."
He casually tossed it, and with a clang, the Shuriken hit the courtyard wall, bounced to the other side, rebounded, and shot straight for his face.
"As expected, as long as conditions allow, any Shuriken I throw will fly back…"
"The angle is so tricky, it won't stop until it kills me…"
With a flick of the chain behind him, it barely blocked the Shuriken in front of his face.
With a *snap*, the Shuriken shattered into pieces.
"Inferior product…"
The pale gold chain behind Arima slowly disappeared.
"This is a standard family Shuriken; there shouldn't be any quality issues. So, the Adamantine Sealing Chains must be too strong…"
There was no joy on his face.
"Depleting all my Chakra just to smash a Shuriken?"
"Useless, at least until I have 100 units of Chakra, it's useless."
…
The next day was still a holiday.
By the time Hyuga Arima broke free from the seal of his bed, it was already noon.
Walking through the streets of Konoha looking for food, people came and went, as lively as ever.
"Something's not right…"
Hyuga Arima , however, felt that something was off. It was clearly no different from before, but he just sensed a tense atmosphere.
"Did something happen?"
He thought and thought, but couldn't grasp the key, so he could only shake his head and continue looking for food.
Konoha, at present, only offered barbecue and dango, which he was already tired of.
It was uncertain when Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku's ramen shop would open; these current ramen shops were truly disappointing…
"Kushina! Focus! Don't be afraid!"
Deep within an unknown cave, in a vast space, pale gold Chakra chains formed a cage, completely sealing off the interior.
Several people stood outside the Adamantine Sealing Chains, their eyes fixed on the inside.
At the critical moment of the Nine-Tailed transfer, they were there to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Third Hokage! Danzo Shimura! Homura Mitokado! Utatane Koharu!
The Konoha Joint Government, all four rascals were present.
Not only them, but on this day, the entire Konoha was outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense, with the alert level raised to S-rank.
However, the transfer and sealing of the Nine-Tailed had nothing to do with them, because Uzumaki Mito was the professional.
The Adamantine Sealing Chains sealed the cave, not even a wisp of Nine-Tailed Chakra leaked out.
Kushina lay beside her, her fair, slender waist exposed, revealing a black hemispherical protrusion on her abdomen, from which scarlet Chakra occasionally seeped out, as if struggling.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was enduring immense pain.
"Click, click, click."
Uzumaki Mito also had her eyes closed, with countless pale gold chains extending from her body, some of which merged into the body of the girl beside her.
In the sealing space within Kushina's body, the seventy to eighty-meter tall Nine-Tailed Fox was bound by pale gold Chakra on its limbs and nine tails.
"Roar!——"
A ferocious roar accompanied by scarlet Chakra surged within the space.
"Uzumaki Mito! You won't seal me inside this brat!"
"She will be corrupted by evil! She will destroy Konoha!"
"Awooo! Roar!——"
"…"
Uzumaki Mito's Chakra projection knelt on the ground, her hands pressed on the pale gold water surface, with countless chains extending from behind her, firmly binding the Nine-Tailed to the ground.
"Kushina won't. She will inherit my will and lock you here forever."
Uzumaki Mito's words, however, drew a sneering grin from the Nine-Tailed: "Didn't you notice the void in her heart?!"
Kushina's mental projection stood not far in front of the enormous Nine-Tailed, a long Chakra chain behind her swaying slightly.
"Kushina! Focus! Don't be afraid!"
Uzumaki Mito shouted, "Use your Adamantine Sealing Chains to complete the final seal, only then can you hope to become a perfect Jinchuriki."
"Click, click, click…"
The chains on Kushina's body slowly extended, gradually connecting with Uzumaki Mito's Chakra chains.
"Just… just lock its neck…"
Kushina's eyes held unconcealed terror, and her hands trembled, sweat pouring down.
Facing such a colossal entity and extremely evil Chakra, the cracks in her heart grew wider and wider.
And the Nine-Tailed accurately seized upon this point.
"Hiss, hiss."
Suddenly, dark red Chakra rose from the water surface, completely enveloping Kushina.
"Ah!——"
Kushina suddenly shrieked.
"Kushina! Don't lose consciousness!"
Uzumaki Mito was greatly alarmed.
But at that moment, Kushina only felt an invisible hand pulling her, dragging her deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper…
