"Five Elements Seal!!" Accompanied by a roar, pale blue flames suddenly erupted from Jiraiya's ordinarily unremarkable five fingers. He pressed his palm firmly onto Naruto's stomach without hesitation, moving with lightning speed.
In an instant, a powerful and mysterious force surged from Jiraiya's palm, sweeping through the turbulent Tailed Beast Chakra inside Naruto like a breaching flood.
The rampant, violent Chakra, which was on the verge of breaking free, rapidly dissipated at a visible speed upon encountering this force, as if a stasis spell had been cast upon it.
Feng Ye slowly released Naruto, who had gradually calmed down.
"What exactly happened?" Jiraiya widened his eyes, his face full of shock and uncertainty, as he turned to look at Feng Ye beside him, his heart filled with confusion and doubt.
Was it him? But if he was truly responsible, why would he step in to help?
Facing Jiraiya's suspicious gaze, Feng Ye appeared exceptionally calm and composed.
He casually patted his own shoulder and said with a smile, "Lord Jiraiya, I was just talking to you over there the whole time. You wouldn't suspect me, would you?"
"No, I'm genuinely just curious. How could Naruto suddenly erupt with such powerful Tailed Beast Chakra? Could it be that the Nine-Tailed has gone mad?" Jiraiya muttered to himself, looking puzzled.
"Since everything is fine now, I'll take Sasuke and leave first. I'll leave Naruto in your care!" Feng Ye waved at Sasuke, signaling him to follow, indicating that the two were preparing to depart.
Jiraiya didn't harbor any suspicion toward Sasuke. After all, the little guy in front of him was still young; it was hard to link him to the Nine-Tailed's rampage.
"Teacher, Naruto... he should be alright, shouldn't he?" After the two had walked some distance, Sasuke quietly asked Feng Ye about Naruto's condition.
In fact, Feng Ye had already roughly guessed the cause of the incident when Jiraiya brought Naruto to visit.
At that time, he immediately set his sights on the Ashura Chakra within Naruto. He then secretly instructed Sasuke to find a suitable moment to pick a fight with Naruto.
He had previously hidden a portion of his own Eye Power secretly inside Sasuke's eyes. When the two sides clashed, that hidden Eye Power would suddenly erupt, creating the illusion of a Nine-Tailed rampage.
This way, he could take advantage of the chaos to successfully absorb the Chakra contained within Naruto.
Itachi used this move in the original plot, hiding the power of Amaterasu in Sasuke's eyes. It would erupt upon sensing Obito's Chakra. At that time, Obito either had to amputate himself or use Izanagi; otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to endure.
"He's fine. This might even have helped him," Feng Ye said with an inscrutable expression.
In the original plot, no matter what humiliation or blow Naruto suffered, he would immediately bounce back. Moreover, he absolutely didn't blame the ignorant populace of Konoha, acting as if he had been struck by Kotoamatsukami.
The most outrageous thing was that he even forgave the beast Uchiha Obito later on.
This kind of personality doesn't look like something that could be developed in this environment. If he wasn't affected by Kotoamatsukami, the answer is obvious.
Ashura Chakra! That's what was influencing Naruto.
Now that Feng Ye has absorbed this type of Chakra, Naruto will likely become a normal person. Meaning, he won't be smiling and joking around with those who bully him anymore.
"How is he? Is Naruto alright?" Jiraiya asked, looking at a Medical Ninja.
Standing nearby was the Third Hokage, who was also staring at the unconscious Naruto. Several Sensor Ninjas were also present, sensing for any abnormalities within Naruto's body.
"There are no abnormalities. He is quite healthy."
The two sighed in relief. The Third Hokage was slightly angry. "Jiraiya! How could you take Naruto to see Uchiha Kaede? You know we know nothing about him!"
"I know. Naruto was just tagging along. Uchiha Kaede has remained within my line of sight and hasn't done anything out of line."
But why did the Nine-Tailed's energy suddenly leak out?
On the outskirts of Konoha, the ground began to writhe, and a long-haired, pale-faced man emerged from the earth.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his terrifying vertical pupils searching for his target.
He looked at the empty forest before him and frowned. Where was Danzo?
What happened? Didn't he have a base here?
However, he didn't think much of it, assuming Danzo had merely relocated this base. He immediately went to Danzo's other base; the two had collaborated extensively on research, and he knew several of Danzo's bases.
"Hmm?" When yet another base was nowhere to be found, the man realized something was wrong. Danzo couldn't possibly have relocated so many bases.
He looked in the direction of Konoha Village and walked toward it. Sunlight fell upon him, and the "Sky" Ring on his hand shone brightly.
Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than one of the Sannin, Sky Member of the Akatsuki, the Hokage's greatest scientist, the Cold King Orochimaru!
After receiving Pain's command, he rushed toward Konoha without stopping. Once he arrived, he naturally went straight to Danzo, his collaborator, to inquire about the situation.
But he couldn't find anyone at several bases in a row. Even if Root had been disbanded, these bases should still exist.
Orochimaru changed his appearance and wandered around the streets, keenly realizing that Konoha was somewhat chaotic now. Village security seemed to have deteriorated slightly, and were the villagers blaming the Uchiha for this?
Uchiha, huh? Orochimaru couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth. He was currently performing the Living Corpse Reincarnation, and finding a suitable body was extremely important to him.
He was very interested in the Uchiha's Sharingan, but he still needed to first find out about Danzo.
It wasn't hard to guess, actually. There were only two possibilities for the disappearance of those bases.
One was that Danzo had abandoned his obsession with the Hokage title and decided to retire, dismantling the research bases.
The other was that Danzo had died, and the Third Hokage secretly ordered the dismantling of the bases to prevent the Hokage's prestige from being damaged.
Orochimaru would rather believe the moon would explode tomorrow than believe the first possibility.
Since Danzo is dead, the collaboration must be over. Without this Shadow of the Ninja World, who else could the Third Hokage use to contact the Akatsuki?
Orochimaru smiled slightly. He was deeply familiar with the hypocrisy of his former teacher.
At the Uchiha Clan Compound, after sending Sasuke home, Feng Ye began to carefully observe the changes in his body.
To be honest, the Ashura Chakra was only a small amount, and it didn't benefit him much. Its main purpose is to combine with Indra Chakra to form the Rinnegan.
It can also affect a person's mind; both Ashura Reincarnations were excessively optimistic.
It was even strange—Hashirama, for example. Despite having unmatched strength, he actually bowed to others, begging them to stop fighting and maintain peace.
However, after his Absorption Ability takes in this energy, it automatically converts it into his own power. Now, Feng Ye no longer needs to make direct physical contact with his hands to absorb energy.
He discovered that he could also use his Susanoo to perform the absorption ability. This means the range of things he can absorb has greatly increased.
Originally, he absorbed blood because it was the safest method.
In fact, besides the energy contained in blood, energy exists in many other places. For example, in Ninjutsu, taking Fire Release Ninjutsu as an example, the fire itself contains energy.
He didn't absorb them before because he didn't know Susanoo could absorb them, and he certainly couldn't use his bare hands to touch fire.
His absorption range was small, and he had to activate it to absorb, making it almost useless in previous battles.
Now it's different. With Susanoo activated, his absorption range is much larger. Plus, he doesn't have to worry about getting injured by touching Ninjutsu.
