Chapter 29: Elevation in Status, Cultivation Method of the Yin Seal
"Why would Lady Mito pay attention to him? Are Hayate and Mio related to the Senju clan? Or perhaps their ancestors were members of the Uzumaki or Senju clans who were separated from their families?"
Orochimaru asked a series of questions, a hint of tension and worry appearing between his brows.
After all, Gojo Yoru was a disciple he had taken a liking to at first sight, and also the biggest supporter for him to become Hokage in the future.
If he didn't truly like it that much, Orochimaru wouldn't have unconditionally gifted Gojo Yoru an extremely precious Nature Transformation Scroll that contained his understanding of Yin and Yang Nature Transformation.
He would not tolerate Gojo Yoru's way of addressing him.
He didn't want this promising talent to be snatched away by someone else at the last minute.
Jiraiya stroked his chin, then suddenly realized, "No wonder that kid is so tall for his age. If it's related to the Senju and Uzumaki clans, then it makes sense."
"He has no connection to the Senju or Uzumaki clans, at least not on the surface." Hiruzen Sarutobi reassured Orochimaru, puffing on his pipe, "You're both Jonin now, capable of handling things on your own. You should know about the Tailed Beasts and the Jinchuriki of the various ninja villages from all those years you've been on missions, right?"
"Know."
Orochimaru nodded subconsciously, then, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with horror, then pointed to the ceiling as the other man had done: "Could it be...?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded gravely: "Lord Mito can't hold on much longer."
"Sarutobi-sensei, are you planning to transfer the Nine-Tails into Hayate and Mio's child?" Jiraiya suddenly asked, spoiling the mood.
"..."
Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Jiraiya speechlessly.
Ignoring the idiot, Orochimaru continued, "If I remember correctly, a survivor from the Land of Whirlpools is currently residing in the Tsunade household. Is she the next one?"
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi nod, Orochimaru, who vaguely guessed the truth, asked knowingly, "What is her relationship with Hayate and Mio's child?"
"My deskmate, someone who redeems and cherishes each other." Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hide anything. "This morning, she brought the Uzumaki clan's sealing book to the Gojo family, and Lady Mito didn't stop her."
"I understand." Orochimaru nodded, a surge of secret joy welling up inside him.
So that's how I got the attention! What a pleasant surprise!
At this moment, Gojo Yoru's status in Orochimaru's heart rose even higher.
Jiraiya, his eyes filled with envy, gritted his teeth and said, "What a cunning brat! If I'm not mistaken, they've only known each other for less than a year, right? In such a short time, they've managed to trick the Uzumaki clan into giving them the Book of Seals. Where did this love-struck fool come from? Why haven't I ever encountered anything like that? Damn it, this awful world that judges people by their looks, may it be destroyed!"
Ignoring Jiraiya's impotent rage, Orochimaru asked, "Sarutobi-sensei, did you call us here tonight so we could raise Hayate and Mio's child?"
"Indeed, I originally intended to choose one of you, but it seems that's no longer necessary." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled at Orochimaru. "Since he's the disciple you've chosen, then you'll be the one to train him."
"I'd be delighted," Orochimaru immediately replied with a smile, just what he wanted.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's guarantee, he was no longer afraid of someone intercepting him halfway.
Unexpectedly, the Uzumaki clan survivor who was staying at Tsunade's house happened to be in the same class as Gojo Yoru, and even won her heart, thus gaining the qualification to learn the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.
What an amazing guy!
It seems I'll have to prepare an extra valuable gift for this future disciple.
……
Gojo Yoru was unaware that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two disciples were discussing him.
At this moment, he was studying the Yin Seal in the basement.
He didn't dare leave the super-large scroll behind, but only copied down a few sealing techniques, including the Yin Sealing Technique.
Looking at the annotations on the Yin Seal, Gojo Yoru became more and more astonished, and couldn't help but think to himself, "This isn't a sealing technique at all; it's practically a castrated mini version of Yin-Yang Release."
Yin Seal is a very special technique.
It is a sealing technique, but it is classified as a medical ninjutsu. It compresses and stores chakra in the forehead, and it also involves the Yin Release technique of the mind.
The ability to maintain a youthful appearance is also related to Yang Dun (a type of escape technique).
Considering that this technique is an S-rank secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, Gojo Yoru can hardly help but suspect that it is a product of the Yin-Yang Release of the Ninja Clan.
In particular, Tsunade developed the "Hundred Healings Technique" and "Creation Rebirth" based on it, which has a stronger Yin-Yang Release feel.
To master this technique, one needs not only a talent for sealing techniques, but also strong chakra control, as well as a certain understanding of the physical body and mind, that is, medical knowledge, or an understanding of Yin Release and Yang Release. None of these can be lacking.
This is the difficulty of cultivating an S-rank profound technique.
Fortunately, Gojo Yoru met the requirements for practicing this technique.
The cultivation method for the Yin Seal is clearly explained in the annotations; the ancestors of the Uzumaki clan have summarized their experience.
The first step is to create a diamond-shaped mark on your forehead.
How to condense it? Seal it!
This step is the threshold of talent.
Chakra flows, and the Yin Seal aims to intercept a trace of chakra from the meridians. It forms a seal at a point in the body where both Yang Release and Yin Release chakra must pass through, allowing this seal to continue to intercept the chakra flowing through the meridians bit by bit.
This independent chakra not only has the effect of fine-tuning chakra and improving bodily functions, but also keeps the body in its prime.
When needed, this mark can be unsealed to release a large amount of chakra to enhance combat power.
Even before the Yin Seal was fully established, Gojo Yoru was 100% certain.
The Yin Seal can store space-time chakra.
The so-called storage roll is based on the principle of these two.
Sealing and spacetime are a perfect match.
What Gojo Yoru is unsure about now is whether, after sealing this part of the spacetime chakra, that part of the 'evolved' cells will continue to secrete spacetime power.
If the numerical values are locked, the idea of using the Yin Seal to increase the spacetime chakra capacity will fail.
If the cells determine that a portion of the space-time chakra has been sealed and continue to secrete space-time power even after it has been depleted, then this technique would be a divine technique of pure Otsutsuki level for Gojo Yoru.
He doesn't need to wait for that sudden, death-like evolution to break the capacity limit of space-time chakra.
Although this requires years of accumulation, this trump card is enough to allow him to turn the tide at crucial moments.
Thinking of this, Gojo Yoru couldn't wait to start trying it out immediately.
Unfortunately, the Yin Seal is not the kind of technique that can be learned in a day; it requires a great deal of time.
Even when testing cells, it takes time; at least an imprint must form.
Speaking of printing, Gojo Yoru had a wildly imaginative idea.
As for what his thoughts were, that remains unknown.
