Chapter 32 - The ability to learn all ninjutsu
What is the essence of ninjutsu?
It's chakra!
In the world of ninja, chakra is the basis of all ninjutsu, and ninjutsu is just the external expression of the energy of chakra.
Any ninjutsu is performed by chakra.
The basis of chakra's realization of ninjutsu lies in the changes in nature and form.
Li Yao didn't dare to say that all ninjutsu were like this.
But he was certain that most ninjutsu were developed based on the changes in the nature and form of chakra.
The change in the nature of chakra gives the attributes of various ninjutsu changes.
For example, the fire attribute of chakra will show the properties of fire, making the fire escape show heat, glow, burning, and other characteristics of fire.
The changes in chakra's form give ninjutsu its form changes.
For example, the forms of fire-style ninjutsu such as the Great Fireball Technique, the Fire Dragon Technique, the Phoenix Fire Technique, etc. are given by the changes in chakra forms.
Simply put, the change in the nature of chakra allows pure chakra energy to transform into energy or matter with certain physical properties such as fire, water, and thunder in nature, which can cause physical damage to the real world.
The change in chakra's form is a further processing, responsible for shaping these energies to make them more destructive mimicry.
Just like the chakra with the attribute of steel release gives the physical properties of steel, and then the change of chakra form gives the steel the form of a sword, the fusion becomes the steel release-steel sword technique.
It can be said that basically any ninjutsu cannot escape the changes in the nature and form of chakra.
Including the Rasengan, which has no attribute distinction, is also a ninjutsu developed by using the form changes of chakra.
This type of ninjutsu that only involves changes in chakra form is the easiest for Li Yao to learn.
As long as Li Yao can personally sense the changes in the chakra form of the Rasengan, he can learn the Rasengan instantly.
Possesses the ability to absolutely control his own chakra to change its nature and form.
There is also a chakra perception ability that is powerful enough to sense changes in the nature and form of ninjutsu chakra.
With the abnormal abilities of both of them, Li Yao had absolute confidence that he could learn all the ninjutsu.
This is indeed the case.
In fact, it only took him three days to copy and condense the sealing chakra in the sealing ritual on his body.
The reason why it takes three days is entirely because the changes in the nature and form of the sealed chakra are relatively complex, and it takes three days to fully perceive them.
Otherwise, Li Yao would be able to condense the corresponding sealing chakra in a day or a second.
However, although he has condensed the corresponding sealing chakra, he can remove the sealing technique on his body at any time.
But how to hide his ever-increasing chakra amount from the Anbu ninjas is a problem.
Fortunately, his chakra amount is not too much.
There was no significant reaction to the chakra from the sealing technique on his body, and no abnormalities were found during examination.
But once the amount of chakra in Li Yao continues to increase, it will definitely be sensed by the ninja who can sense the amount of chakra through the sealing technique on his body.
By then, the Anbu will definitely be wary of him, which will be detrimental to his plan of launching a sudden counterattack.
"We need to find a way to store the increased chakra without being sensed."
While Li Yao was thinking about how to hide his increased chakra, Team Explosion brought him to the gate of a dark underground base.
A team of four, wearing masks that were different from those worn by ANBU, was already waiting in front of the gate.
This team is one of the two four-person teams at the root.
The leading captain took the initiative to step forward to stop the explosive team.
Then he came to the torture bed and carefully examined Li Yao's body.
When he saw the black seal emerging from Li Yao's body, he frowned and looked at Bao and said, "Remove the seal on the target."
Baku's eyes narrowed as he refused, "The target is very dangerous. The Hokage has specifically instructed that the sealing technique cannot be lifted at any time."
The Root Squad Leader said, "I know. I will apply a new sealing technique to the target."
There was a hint of distrust in his words, which made Bao frown slightly. The attitude of the Root team leader made him, a direct descendant of the Hokage, very unhappy.
He knew very well how important the target was to Hokage-sama, and how dangerous it was.
He didn't dare to lift the seal rashly.
Baku refused the Root captain's request on the grounds that there was no order from the Hokage.
"Okay, leave it to us then."
The Root Team Captain did not insist any further. He called on his team members to take the torture bed from the Explosion Team and push it into the Root Base.
Bao stood there frowning for a while.
He knew that the reason why the other party did not force it was because he was confident that he could remove the seal on the target.
This made him a little worried about whether something unexpected would happen.
After thinking about it, Baku decided to report to the Hokage.
In the Hokage's office, after receiving the answer that there was no need to worry, Bao no longer cared about Li Yao.
The Root Base was built on the basis of the secret base where the plan to recreate Wood Release was studied.
That's why the third generation wanted to hand Li Yao over to Danzo.
At this time, Danzo was not in the Root base, or even in Konoha, but was out on a mission with another four-member Root team.
Another team of four took over from Li Yao.
They took Li Yao to a secret room.
The equipment here is no less than that of the advanced biological laboratories on Earth in the previous life, and even high-tech such as computers is available.
Everything here looks much more professional than in interrogation room No. 3.
Li Yao was stripped naked and lying on a stone bed covered with sealing spells.
The leader of the root team stood behind Li Yao, and the other three stood in three sides, surrounding Li Yao in the middle.
"Sealing Technique - Release!"
The Root Team Captain and three other teammates formed seals with their hands, and then placed their hands on the four origin points on the stone table engraved with sealing spell patterns.
As the chakra of the four people activated the sealing technique on the stone table, Li Yao felt a force on the stone table extracting the chakra from the sealing technique on his body, and the chakra of the sealing technique he copied and condensed was also pulled by this extracting force.
Li Yao quickly removed the chakra of the sealing technique that was condensed on his body, allowing it to degenerate to the normal chakra state, thus avoiding the situation of being extracted.
Otherwise, if the amount of chakra extracted for the sealing technique is not correct, Li Yao's ability to remove the sealing technique by himself will be discovered.
Li Yao doesn't want to bear the consequences of this.
After six months of torture, Li Yao would not underestimate any ninja in this world.
In this world of supernatural powers, you can never be too cautious.
After extracting the sealing technique chakra from Li Yao's body, Li Yao could control the chakra at will without the sealing technique.
However, Li Yao did not make any move and remained in a vegetative state.
Even though he could take back control of his body at any time and recover from his vegetative state, he continued to maintain his current state.
As long as he could continue to live, he would continue to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to escape.
When it really comes to a life-and-death crisis, then give it a try.
Li Yao's mentality is much more stable now than it was six months ago.
Or maybe... numb.
The manifestation of no fear of life and death.
"Eight Trigrams Seal!"
After removing the seal on Li Yao, Team Gen cast the Bagua seal on Li Yao. Li Yao sensed that the Bagua seal had similar effects to the seal cast on him before.
It can also seal and imprison his chakra.
In addition to this, there is another effect. The Bagua Sealing Technique can continuously absorb the chakra from his body to maintain the continued existence of the sealing technique.
Previously, the sealing technique on his body required the input of chakra at regular intervals to maintain it.
From this point of view, the Bagua Seal is more powerful than the previous sealing techniques.
For Li Yao, this Bagua seal is very troublesome.
He can copy the chakra of the condensed Bagua Sealing Technique and break free from the Bagua Seal that absorbs his chakra.
But because of this, his abilities will be exposed.
Before finding a way to secretly store chakra, Li Yao could only suspend copying and condensing the chakra of the Bagua Sealing Technique.
"Put him in Experiment Chamber No. 8."
The Root team leader instructed the team members that the Root had no time to study Li Yao now and could only seal it up first.
There are a total of eight cylindrical glass experimental chambers in the laboratory, which contain nutrient solution specially used for cultivating cells and are most suitable for sealing experimental subjects.
That is, it can maintain the life activities of the experimental subject to a minimum extent, and there is no need for frequent inspections, as the computer will automatically monitor it.
Li Yao was placed naked into the No. 8 experimental glass chamber and sealed.
Li Yao didn't know the situation of his physical body. His chakra perception could only sense chakra. Glass and other materials had no chakra, so he couldn't see himself being sealed in the nutrient solution.
However, Li Yao could sense that he was surrounded by a ball of chakra filled with weak vitality.
The nutrient solution contains chakra.
This chakra contains special vitality that nourishes Li Yao's body.
He felt his energy increasing.
This means that his body is recovering.
Although he didn't know what was happening in the outside world, Li Yao was sure that he didn't have to fight for his life for the time being.
