Chapter 153: Sage Cursed Seal 1.0! (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)
Chakra Control at level 14 was exquisite.
Sarutobi Asuma felt like God at this moment. He could manipulate chakra however he pleased, and countless ideas for Ninjutsu surfaced in his mind.
Especially Yin-Yang Release.
Sarutobi Asuma never expected that Chakra Control could actually improve his abilities in Yin-Yang Release.
But after a moment's thought, he understood.
Chakra was formed by the combination of physical and mental strength, one yin and one yang. Weren't the mysteries contained within fundamentally related to Yin-Yang Release?
Furthermore, using chakra to perform ninjutsu inherently involved the power of creation, where energy transformed into matter.
...
After a long while, Sarutobi Asuma snapped back to reality and created two more Shadow Clones.
"Let's get to work!"
Sarutobi Asuma, along with his two Shadow Clones, began observing and analyzing the genetic information of Dust Release cells, Hashirama Cells, the Sharingan, and cells cultivated from Uchiha blood.
It had been difficult to analyze before, but now, while not as simple as eating or drinking, it was much easier.
...
That evening, Shizune moved into Sarutobi Asuma and Shizune's home.
Yūhi Kurenai was still on a mission, so Sarutobi Asuma only trained with Shizune.
However, he was on his best behavior.
Time flowed by.
Training, practicing, experimenting, teaching students – it was a busy and fulfilling schedule.
As for the special training class, the Ninja Academy, and even the Konoha Hospital, they were all managed by his Shadow Clones.
Meanwhile, Tsunade, who had been missing for three days, finally returned, acting as if nothing had happened.
But three days later, Sarutobi Asuma received an IOU for ten million Ryo.
It was all from Tsunade's gambling losses!
Sarutobi Asuma looked at the IOU and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness I didn't win!
However, it was a bit too much for this big fat sheep to dump her gambling debt on him!
Looking at the casino owner, Sarutobi Asuma asked expressionlessly, "Did you clearly see that I lost at your casino?"
"Lord Asuma, of course not!"
The casino owner's tone was humble, but he wasn't afraid of Sarutobi Asuma, and said with a smile, "It was Big Fat— no, it was Lady Tsunade. However, she said you were her disciple, so..."
It's good that it didn't turn into me gambling, I suppose I have some self-control!
Sarutobi Asuma snorted inwardly.
However, he swore that if Tsunade dared to do this again next time, he would have to teach her a severe lesson.
A wicked image of him holding Tsunade on his lap and spanking her flashed through his mind, and Sarutobi Asuma immediately settled the gambling debt.
...
Summer turned to autumn.
September 2nd, Konoha Year 48.
Senju Ancestral Home.
Before the desk, ninjutsu scrolls were spread out, covered in dense sigils and individual human body diagrams.
It was the Sage Cursed Seal version 1.0!
Ever since Rin Nohara, Sarutobi Asuma had been continuously refining this cursed seal, specifically to lower the requirements for ninjas.
After all, Sarutobi Asuma didn't want Yūhi Kurenai or Shizune to become Jinchuriki.
However, the original Sage Cursed Seal required a massive amount of chakra to support.
Tsunade examined the contents of the scroll carefully. To her left and right, Yūhi Kurenai and Shizune also craned their necks.
"You've incorporated the Yin Seal, the Hundred Healings Technique, and the Sage Power Eight Trigrams Seal into this."
Tsunade frowned deeply; this cursed seal was too complex!
"Yes, and this is only a part of the cursed seal,"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded and explained, "The prerequisite for Sage Mode is having sufficient chakra. Because if the chakra amount is too low, the Sage Chakra produced will be very little, rendering it practically useless in combat."
"Similarly, to nurture all the cells in the body with Sage Power, allowing the cells to be transformed subtly, it also requires a large amount of chakra to support."
"After all, your bodies cannot directly absorb Natural Energy."
Therefore, this new Sage Cursed Seal had three core components.
The center of the forehead, the heart, and the navel area.
The Yin Seal is on the forehead, the core of the Sage Cursed Seal is in the heart, and the Eight Trigrams Seal of Sage Power is in the abdomen.
The Eight Trigrams Seal of Sage Power still serves as the place to absorb and store Natural Energy.
As for the Yin Seal, it's divided into two parts: one part of the chakra is for daily use, and the other is for storage.
Furthermore, Sarutobi Asuma has developed the Hundred Healings Technique further, allowing the cursed seal to penetrate cells and automatically refine chakra.
This process is very gentle, and the holder of the cursed seal can control it at any time.
In this way, the chakra from the Yin Seal and the Natural Energy from the Eight Trigrams Seal of Sage Power merge at the heart through the cursed seal, transforming into Sage Chakra with the power of the cursed seal.
Normally, this Sage Chakra is sent to a second system by the cursed seal.
This system, like the Hundred Healings Technique, also connects to all the cells in the body and penetrates deep within them.
The Sage Chakra is then injected into the cells, nourishing them and gradually transforming them into a Sage Transformation, thereby improving constitution.
For women, it can also preserve youth forever!
Moreover, if one needs to fight, they can also directly use this Sage Chakra.
This is equivalent to instantly entering Sage Mode.
Compared to Rin Nohara's Sage Cursed Seal, the new one is undoubtedly more precise, and its impact on the cells is also deeper and more direct.
After explaining in detail, Sarutobi Asuma added, "Also, I can remotely inject Sage Power into the holder of the cursed seal through the cursed seal."
"In the initial stages, the nourishment and influence on the body's cells will also be carried out by my Sage Power."
"Once the Yin Seal has stored enough chakra, then it will no longer be necessary for my Sage Power; the holder can gradually proceed with their own Sage Chakra for Sage Transformation."
Of course.
What Sarutobi Asuma didn't say was.
The cursed seal contains his Sage Power, so if he wished, nothing about the cursed seal holder would escape his perception.
In fact, he could also regenerate through the cursed seal, just like Orochimaru.
And he wouldn't need external forces like Orochimaru because his mastery of Yin-Yang Release had advanced further.
Tsunade and the other two looked at the scroll, their brows furrowed.
It was too complex, too profound!
Let alone Yūhi Kurenai and Shizune, even Tsunade felt dizzy reading it.
"It's too complicated; we'll likely have trouble writing all the talismans on our bodies without making mistakes," Tsunade said, frowning.
Sarutobi Asuma spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Then I'll have to do it directly!"
"It won't be too complicated."
After a moment of hesitation, she finally nodded.
Thus, the four of them came to the experimental base.
In the treatment room, Sarutobi Asuma said, "Kurenai, you first!"
"Okay!"
Yūhi Kurenai nodded and walked into the room.
The stone door closed, and Yūhi Kurenai sat opposite Sarutobi Asuma, unbuttoning her shirt.
Sarutobi Asuma looked without averting his gaze, and when Kurenai looked at him reproachfully, he immediately said solemnly, "It might be a bit painful later, so you'll need to endure it and concentrate."
Yūhi Kurenai nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and lowered her gaze.
Sarutobi Asuma raised his right hand, Sage Power manifesting, and then placed his palm on Yūhi Kurenai's chest.
With a sizzle, Yūhi Kurenai's chest skin seemed to be scorched.
The intense stinging made her involuntarily grunt, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.
On Sarutobi Asuma's palm, a large number of black talismans spread out, orderly covering Yūhi Kurenai's entire body, finally forming vortex-like patterns on her forehead and navel area.
But the Sage Cursed Seal was not yet complete, and the pain Yūhi Kurenai felt intensified.
It felt like countless ants were drilling into each of her cells.
This was the power of the cursed seal penetrating her every cell.
This process lasted for a full half hour before it concluded. Yūhi Kurenai was covered in dense, glistening beads of sweat, which had a certain allure.
With a puff of air, Sarutobi Asuma cleared away the sweat from Yūhi Kurenai and helped the languid Yūhi Kurenai put on her clothes.
Then, he infused chakra into the Sage Cursed Seal, which flowed through Yūhi Kurenai's entire body, causing her to immediately recover.
"So strong!"
"Is this Sage Power?"
Yūhi Kurenai sat up from Sarutobi Asuma's embrace, filled with surprise.
Because she felt her physical strength and reaction speed had improved at least threefold or fourfold.
"This is Sage Power, or you could call it Sage Chakra," Sarutobi Asuma said with a smile.
With the Sage Cursed Seal, Yūhi Kurenai's safety was further guaranteed, and he was also very happy.
Next was Shizune.
Like a shyly blooming lotus, revealing its pink bud.
Sarutobi Asuma looked straight ahead, raised his right hand, and pressed his palm down.
Dense runes extended out, quickly covering every inch of Shizune's fair skin.
Shizune gritted her teeth and let out a soft groan, fine beads of sweat appearing.
At this moment, she felt as if a pair of hands were caressing every inch of her skin.
The power of the Cursed Seal penetrated Shizune's body, entering every cell.
The pain intensified.
...
Half an hour later, Shizune's Cursed Seal was complete.
Tsunade walked in with a serious expression.
"Sister Tsunade, please take off your top," Sarutobi Asuma said.
Tsunade nodded, sat opposite Sarutobi Asuma, and removed her top.
At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma had to admit he couldn't maintain his composure.
Looking straight ahead, he pressed his palm down, activating the Cursed Seal.
...
Half an hour later, the Cursed Seal was complete. Sarutobi Asuma blew away the sweat on Tsunade's body and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from the room.
"You little brat!" Tsunade pouted, but there was a smile in her eyes. She slowly put on her clothes, feeling the powerful strength within her.
Her own Yin Seal had already accumulated a vast amount of chakra, which was now gradually transforming into Sage Chakra and then gradually filling all her cells.
"The power of my Monster Strength will at least increase threefold or fourfold, and my medical abilities..."
"Moreover, this Cursed Seal provides extraordinary manipulation of chakra. After gradually adapting, my Chakra Control will also improve."
Undoubtedly, Tsunade possessed talent far exceeding that of Yūhi Kurenai and Shizune, easily noticing many details that the two had not.
"Also, Asuma's Sage Power is extremely potent. If it's rooted within the body, there's no avoiding some influence."
Tsunade snorted, "That guy really hid some information."
After a while, she finally got up and left, then took Yūhi Kurenai and Shizune out of the experimental base to the training grounds to adapt to the power of the Sage Cursed Seal.
Unlike Rin Nohara, they didn't have the power of a Tailed Beast, so they had to be very resourceful.
Sarutobi Asuma did not accompany the three women. During this time, with his level 14 Chakra Control, he continuously analyzed White Zetsu cells and Hashirama Cells, and his progress in Wood Release was particularly rapid.
The feeling has arrived.
No more drafts, this is the first update. I'll update again during the day!
