Chapter 245: 'Errand Girl' Konan [47]
"Reincarnation Jutsu, hmm, an interesting soul-based secret technique, worth studying."
"Wood Style Secret Jutsu..."
Feng Ye continued to browse through various ninja techniques within the Sealing Scroll.
The sealing techniques that he hadn't been able to grasp before were now easily comprehended at a glance, now that he had reached the Six Paths level. Going back to learn these sealing techniques was now a simple task.
This included Wood Style jutsu.
Before attaining the Six Paths level, cultivating Wood Style jutsu required him to laboriously combine Earth and Water-style chakra to create a nature transformation, and then infuse it with senjutsu chakra to guide the nature transformation towards Wood Style rather than Lava Style.
But now that he had reached the Six Paths level, it was a different story. With the ability to control the Seeking Path Jade, which incorporated all seven chakra natures, Wood Style jutsu, which only required the combination of two nature transformations and a basic Sage Mode, was a breeze for Feng Ye to grasp with just a glance.
Moreover, the hand seals for Wood Style jutsu were also quite simple.
Just as Feng Ye memorized the last Wood Style secret jutsu, the door to the office opened, and Konan walked out, pouring herself a glass of water.
Feng Ye glanced up at her and thought for a moment before speaking, "Konan, come here for a moment."
"Hmm?"
Konan was slightly taken aback but walked over nonetheless.
Feng Ye stood up and walked to Konan, raising his right hand. With his index and middle fingers together, he tapped on the sealing formula between her eyebrows.
Zhi!
The sealing formula that restricted nine-tenths of her chakra was covered by the formula that burst from Feng Ye's fingertips and quickly disappeared.
As she felt her chakra being liberated, Konan was initially stunned. But before she could react, Feng Ye's fingertips glowed with another formula, enveloping her body and immobilizing her chakra and physical body.
"Hmm..."
Feng Ye lowered his hand, his expression thoughtful. He extended his hand once more, undoing the sealing formula on Konan and releasing another.
The new sealing formula carried a searing heat that flowed from the outside of her body to the inside, causing Konan to let out an involuntary 'mmph' as her expression tightened, and she took two steps back.
Pa!
Feng Ye curled his fingers and fired a black text formula into Konan's body, undoing the new sealing formula once more.
After trying out various sealing techniques on Konan, Feng Ye confirmed that his grasp of sealing techniques had indeed become simple. As long as he remembered the formula, he could easily release it. Then, he stopped.
"Hu... Hu..."
Konan slumped to the floor, her chest heaving.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her clothes seemed to be damp with perspiration.
Due to the sealing techniques Feng Ye had used, which included mental and consciousness restraints, Konan sat there dazed, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Feng Ye didn't continue. Instead, he made a grabbing motion with his right hand, using the All-Drawing Force to pull Konan towards him. After undoing the last sealing formula on her, he infused a strand of Six Paths Senjutsu chakra into her body.
The Six Paths Senjutsu chakra flowed swiftly through her body, eliminating all side effects and after-effects caused by the sealing techniques, including healing her on a mental level.
"You..."
Konan, her consciousness restored, took two steps back.
Feng Ye lowered his hand and sat back down in the chair behind the desk, smiling as he said, "I was just experimenting with some sealing techniques, and I didn't do anything else. Don't look at me like that. Also, I've removed your sealing formula.
The true reason he freed Konan from her restraints was that she no longer posed any threat to Konoha. Even with her seals unlocked and her strength potentially reaching Kage-level, it was highly unlikely that she could pose a challenge to his shadow clones.
Furthermore, there was another purpose to unsealing Konan. Feng Ye hoped to use her to lure out Nagato.
Now that Obito Uchiha was gone, Nagato would not be able to escape once found. By freeing Konan, there was a chance she could lead him to Nagato, and if Nagato initiated contact with her, he would surely expose himself.
Indeed, Feng Ye had also implanted the Flying Thunder God formula within Konan.
Although his spatial abilities were still not exceptionally strong, with the addition of the Rinnegan, he could now control a greater number of Flying Thunder God formulas. It was no longer as cumbersome as before, where he could manage less than ten.
That was why he had left the formula on Terumi Mei and now on Konan as well, as his sensory abilities had improved significantly.
"...Thank you." Konan remained silent for a moment before softly speaking her gratitude and nodding slightly towards Feng Ye.
She had never held much hatred towards Konoha, nor towards Feng Ye, and her life in the village had been much more peaceful than in the Rain Country.
Moreover, ever since Feng Ye became the Fifth Hokage, the darkness that once shrouded the village had been swept away. The entire village was thriving, and even the nights were bright and lively, with several streets bustling with activity.
Of course, this was also partly due to a certain fox lurking outside the village.
Few dared to cause trouble, day or night, and conflicts between clans were no longer settled through clandestine night-time skirmishes. Instead, they reported their issues to Feng Ye.
After all, no one wanted to be suddenly swept away by the Nine-Tails.
"You're welcome," Feng Ye said with a gentle smile as he picked up the teacup next to him and placed it on the table. "By the way, pour me a cup of tea as well."
Konan offered a slight smile, took the teacup, and poured another cup of tea, placing it on the table.
Feng Ye sipped his tea and continued perusing the Sealing Scroll. Most of the ninjutsu within were of little use to him now, but there were still some valuable techniques like the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Impure World Reincarnation..."
After flipping through the scroll for a moment, Feng Ye located the technique. His eyes narrowed slightly as he studied it intently before shaking his head. "The Second Hokage really created a troublesome jutsu."
Just as Orochimaru had said, the Impure World Reincarnation was not an overly difficult kinjutsu.
However, its side effect, or rather its flaw, did not lie with the user but with the reincarnated individual. If the reincarnated shinobi was too strong, they might break free from control or unilaterally dissolve the summoning contract, becoming a free agent.
This was a jutsu that could throw the ninja world into chaos.
And in the original storyline, it certainly did.
