Chapter 330: Celestial Seal
Chapter 330: Celestial Seal
A figure clad in black combat attire with elbow-length gloves, their youthful face and chilling Fire Style jutsu instantly revealed their identity to everyone present.
Purifying Flame: Uchiha Douhei!
However, neither side could fathom the reason for their appearance in this place.
"Lord Douhei, this is our enemy from the Mist Concealing Village. By protecting them, are you not afraid of going to war with us?"
The lead Mist Ninja, despite his inner fear, maintained his composure and boldly invoked the support of his powerful backer.
Mist Concealing Village!
Of course, he believed his words were 'subtle' enough, as they were in the Water Country, which was essentially their home turf.
Unfortunately for him, Douhei didn't appreciate his 'humble' approach and coldly retorted:
"Are you trying to teach me how to handle this?"
You, a mere upper-level ninja, dare to provoke me? Have you never faced death before?
"Triple Divine Void Strike!"
Before the Mist Ninjas could respond, a female voice abruptly resounded from behind them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air exploded, and the rain shattered.
Three transparent fist auras, each as thick as a train, swept through with unstoppable force.
The nearly hundred Mist Ninjas were reduced to less than half their number after this devastating strike.
And that wasn't all.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Red fox tails pierced through the rain, finishing off the Mist Ninjas who had narrowly escaped the Divine Void Strike.
"Ah!"
"What is this?!"
"Monsters!"
...
Screams filled the air.
Facing Hyuga Cangyue, who unleashed her full power, this group of elite ninjas, with only one upper-level ninja among them and a number not even reaching a hundred, had no chance of escape.
With the power of the Reincarnation Eye, unless the opponent possessed spatial ninjutsu, escaping was nothing but a dream.
The nine red fox tails, in particular, left these ninjas utterly hopeless.
Attacks against them were completely ineffective, and their strength was unmatched.
Even the cliff walls could be effortlessly shattered.
Tsk tsk!
Under such terrifying weapons, how could these ninjas possibly withstand them?
They were no match at all.
So, when the barrier of fire columns around Ye Cang dissipated, what appeared before her eyes was a scene she would never forget.
A black-haired youth walked through the rain and blood, followed by a girl with blue-glowing eyes and nine swaying red fox tails, exuding both allure and innocence.
Yes!
The newcomers were none other than Douhei and Hyuga Cangyue.
Initially, Cangyue had planned to let the opponent 'die' first, but Douhei suggested keeping them alive and using them for his purposes, as the resurrection route was still uncertain.
Most importantly, with Ye Cang in their hands, they could absorb the resources of the Hidden Sand Village through her.
Just as the Heavenly Fortress had the 'Leaf' name, allowing it to thrive, having Ye Cang would ensure their control.
Without her, it would be a betrayal.
By capturing Ye Cang alive, they could easily absorb the discontent ninjas and ninja clans from the Hidden Sand Village.
After nurturing them, they could find an opportunity to reclaim power.
Then, it would be a matter of 'the loyal Hidden Sand Village welcoming its Wind Shadow.'
If Douhei's group had killed their way in, it would be an invasion, but with Ye Cang, they could rightfully claim the position.
As for the concern that the Sand Ninjas might turn against them because of Ye Cang?
Sorry, they weren't worried.
If they wanted to sever ties with the Sand Ninjas, they would have to give up the massive benefits they were receiving.
And they weren't afraid of the Sand Ninjas playing hardball.
After all, they had just proven their strength in a local war.
If the Sand Ninjas didn't focus on the dispute with the Stone Ninjas over the treasure in the Land of the Birds, coming after them would be suicidal.
Opportunity!
This was a golden chance to openly accept Ye Cang.
With a monopoly on the trade in the Land of the Wind and Ye Cang in their grasp, the Hidden Sand Village would have no chance of escaping their control.
As for Ye Cang not obeying?
Well, Douhei had allowed Cangyue to unleash her power without restraint; how could such a situation even arise?
Biting her index finger, she quickly formed hand seals.
"Assistant, don't come over here!"
Witnessing this, Ye Cang felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding and desperately tried to escape.
Unfortunately, she was still in a poisoned state.
Used by Chiyada, the poison ceiling of the Shinobi World, its effects were indeed domineering, and even Shadow-level Ninjas couldn't resist.
"Celestial Seal!"
Dong Ping cast this seal, which he had meticulously crafted, onto Ye Cang.
That's right!
The inspiration for this technique came from Orochimaru's future seal, just as his Nirvana Technique was inspired by the other's Substitution Technique.
Orochimaru was almost bald from copying him.
(Orochimaru: Please, have some decency!)
Not only did he copy others' ninjutsu, but he also poached their subordinates and disciples, and even their technology. He was shameless.
But Dong Ping didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.
After all, in the Shinobi World, there was no such thing as 'copyright', and copying was fair game.
Orochimaru's seal originally required the bodily fluids of Jugo, whom he captured in the future.
Jugo was born with a degraded version of the Sage Body, capable of absorbing and going berserk with natural energy, which was the origin of the seal.
However, Dong Ping's research in natural energy was far superior to Orochimaru's.
Moreover, his creation, the Superhuman Organs, inherently possessed the ability to absorb, adapt to, and digest natural energy, making them a degraded version of the Sage Body.
With such a solid foundation, coupled with his mastery of sealing techniques, creating the Celestial Seal was a breeze.
However, his Celestial Seal didn't contain soul fragments within it.
After all, Orochimaru's experience with soul splitting served as a cautionary tale, and Dong Ping had no intention of repeating his mistakes.
But that didn't mean he didn't add his own twist.
Blood + Chakra! After receiving the Celestial Seal, the target's subconscious would lean towards Dong Ping.
Subconscious Mind Control! In a world where techniques could alter cognition (Hotsuma), bring the dead back to life (Izanagi), and create illusions (Infinite Tsukuyomi), this mind control genjutsu was insignificant.
However, the advantage was its continuous effect, and there was no need to worry about the target's strong will or the difficulty of dispelling such a genjutsu...
Soul Transformation Technique!
Dong Ping had ample time to study this technique, and while he might not have completely mastered it, he gained a profound understanding of the soul.
At the very least, basic usage was not an issue.
And thus, the Celestial Seal (Dong Ping Edition) was born.
As for its effects, aside from referencing Orochimaru's Celestial Seal, it also included subconscious mind control and the Tongue Banishing Seal...
In any case, those affected would gradually transform into Dong Ping's image over time.
If it were used on an ally, he would certainly employ a castrated version, removing some restrictions and hidden mechanisms.
It must be said that the Celestial Seal had numerous benefits.
The enhancements brought about by its stages were significantly higher than Orochimaru's version.
Indeed, it could be considered a low-end version of the Superhuman Organs.
The advantage was the absence of material and cost requirements, but the downside was the substantial blood loss and energy drain on Dong Ping.
Didn't you see how pale he became after completing the seal, almost collapsing?
This was due to the significant loss of blood, chakra, and energy.
However, this was only the case for the Celestial Seal; if it were the Earth Seal, the consumption wouldn't be as severe.
"Let's go!"
Dong Ping signaled Hyuga Cangyue to take the person away.
After eliminating so many Mist Ninjas, if they didn't leave now, it would be difficult to escape when the main force arrived.
And that's exactly what happened.
Soon after their departure, the Mist Village's Anbu arrived, but they couldn't find any clues.
Dong Ping had carefully covered their tracks during their retreat, and with no survivors, the incident became an unsolved mystery.
The Sand and Mist Ninjas even blamed each other for a lack of sincerity in negotiations.
In the end, both sides signed a peace agreement.
The Sand Ninjas needed peace for the upcoming Bird Droppings War, and the White Eye Wolf from the Mist Village didn't want to waste his strength on external matters, as he was focused on executing his Blood Mist Plan.
Thus, under these circumstances, Ye Cang was brought back to the Heavenly Fortress, attracting attention along the way.
