Chapter 803: The Power of the Six Paths, Third Stage!
Chapter 803: The Power of the Six Paths, Third Stage!
Everyone's attention turned to Youshin Mumu and Boruto.
"How do you know?" Boruto asked curiously.
He was intrigued as to how Mumu knew about such matters.
Even if Mumu had mind-reading abilities, he shouldn't have known unless he had thought about Daitoryu Tao shi recently.
"Because you have Daitoryu's 'Xie' within you," Mumu replied, grabbing Boruto's right hand and pointing to the black rhombus-shaped mark on his palm.
After receiving guidance from Great Sage Kaguya, Mumu realized that he had already possessed the ability of 'Xie' but was unaware of its existence and how to utilize it.
Once he learned to harness the 'Xie,' Mumu could easily discern who had the 'Xie' and its level of unfreezing.
He didn't recognize the Daitoryu, otherwise, he might have been able to identify which one it was through the 'Xie.'
The 'Xie' is essentially the physical data of the Daitoryu themselves.
This was why Mumu asked Boruto if he had come into contact with other Daitoryu, rather than confirming it was Daitoryu Shiki.
The importance of physical data was beyond question, and usually, the Daitoryu would not misuse the 'Xie.' They would only seek suitable individuals to implant the 'Xie' when there was a need for reincarnation.
However, Daitoryu Shiki's actions didn't seem to indicate such a need.
If the 'Xie' on Boruto was from Daitoryu Shiki, then Shiki should have prioritized capturing Boruto.
"So this is called 'Xie,' huh," Boruto scratched his head. He realized that the mark had appeared after the battle with Tao shi, and he had never quite understood its origin.
Since it hadn't caused any issues, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
"What is this 'Xie' for, and do you have any information about it?" Sasuke asked quickly.
When Daitoryu Tao shi froze time and implanted the 'Xie' on Boruto, Sasuke could see what Tao shi was doing through his Rinne Sharingan.
However, Sasuke was unaware of the Daitoryu clan's 'Xie' ability and lacked information about it, so he didn't know what Tao shi had done.
"The 'Xie' is the physical data of the Daitoryu. In the Daitoryu clan, those implanted with the 'Xie' are called 'Ji.' When the 'Xie' is fully unfrozen, the Daitoryu will resurrect within the 'Ji,' and the 'Ji' will die in the process," Mumu explained briefly.
"Huh?!" Boruto was stunned. He hadn't expected Daitoryu Tao shi to secretly pull off such a sinister move.
So, this was how he would lose everything.
"Resurrection... death..." Sasuke's expression turned grave.
"Where did you get this information?" Sasuke continued his inquiry.
He had investigated Great Sage Kaguya for so long, yet Mumu seemed to know more.
"Great Sage Kaguya," Mumu replied.
Sasuke: ???
Sasuke couldn't help but look at Wave Water Gate with a puzzled expression. He remembered that just the other day, Wave Water Gate had been eager to ask him how to deal with Great Sage Kaguya.
"Mumu and the others were gone these past few days because they went to a parallel world. Kaguya had just resurrected in that world," Wave Water Gate explained.
He had no choice; he had only just received this information himself.
"Then, Grandpa Mumu, do you have a way to remove the 'Xie'?" Boruto asked anxiously.
In his eyes, the 'Xie' was like a sudden terminal illness.
Given the urgency of the situation, even Dai Tu didn't have the mind to tease Boruto's address of Mumu and instead looked at him with a pleading gaze.
"Not yet," Mumu shook his head slightly. He had only just learned how to utilize the 'Xie.'
Moreover, it was uncertain whether the 'Xie' could be manually removed without affecting the 'Ji.'
"Later, I'll interrogate Great Sage Kaguya again to see if she has a solution."
"You brought the Kaguya from another world to this one?" Sasuke exclaimed in surprise.
He had thought that Mumu had obtained some information during a sealing battle with Kaguya in another parallel world, but it turned out that she hadn't been sealed and had been brought over.
"Yes, but Great Sage Kaguya is too dangerous, so I confined her within a separate space," Mumu nodded.
Sasuke couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
Although Mumu's actions were risky, the benefits were substantial.
Having a living Daitoryu provide information was far more convenient than searching everywhere.
"Can I take a look at the 'Li'?" Mumu looked at Boruto's ninja tool bag, sensing the presence of the power of space-time there.
"Of course."
"Boruto didn't hesitate and handed the small turtle from his ninja tool bag to Moonbath Leader."
Moonbath Leader felt like another grandfather to Boruto, and his presence was comforting. As such, Boruto trusted him deeply.
Moonbath Leader took the "Plough" and focused his perception on it.
The technology within was so advanced that, aside from the aura of time and space, Moonbath Leader couldn't sense anything else unusual.
"You should avoid physical training for now and try not to engage in combat. This will accelerate the thawing of the 'Xie'."
Moonbath Leader returned the "Plough" to Boruto and advised him.
"I understand," Boruto sighed, his expression filled with frustration.
He had wanted to train intensely to gain the strength to participate in battles, but now he felt that Daitoryu ise Shiki had ruined his plans.
"Don't be discouraged, Boruto. If you can't train your body, why not study ninja theory and learn more jutsu to enhance your power?"
Dai Tu patted Boruto's shoulder in comfort.
"Besides, there hasn't been anything that Moonbath Leader couldn't handle so far. Everything will be fine in the end."
Boruto's impression of Dai Tu improved slightly.
His opinion of Dai Tu evolved from "rude guy" to "he can actually speak human language."
"Did the Fifth Kazekage inform you about Daitoryu ise Shiki?"
Sasuke temporarily set aside his concerns for Boruto and turned to Moonbath Leader, resuming the conversation about Daitoryu ise Shiki.
The primary purpose of Sasuke's visit to the Hokage Tower was to discuss strategies to counter Daitoryu ise Shiki.
However, the information Moonbath Leader provided was so shocking that Sasuke didn't bring up Daitoryu ise Shiki.
"Yes, you can continue living in Konoha as before. When Daitoryu ise Shiki arrives, I'll take care of him," Moonbath Leader said calmly.
Based on Sasuke's panel and Wave Water Gate's description, he could confirm that Daitoryu ise Shiki's strength was far inferior to that of Great Sage Kaguya.
Moonbath Leader estimated that Daitoryu ise Shiki might be a low-ranking Jiju or somewhere between Senju Dosu and the Post-Zhouhou Stage, but he needed to meet him in person to determine his exact strength.
One thing was certain: Daitoryu ise Shiki would not be a match for Moonbath Leader.
If Great Sage Kaguya's strength was set at the peak of the Post-Zhouhou Stage and Dai Tu's strength at the initial Post-Zhouhou Stage, then Moonbath Leader, with access to sufficient Tailed Beast Chakra, would be at the top-tier of the Post-Zhouhou Stage.
Dealing with a low-ranking Jiju would not be a challenge for Moonbath Leader.
"Is that all?" Sasuke asked.
If it weren't for his still-recovering strength, he would have wanted to spar with Moonbath Leader to gauge his abilities.
What kind of power did Moonbath Leader possess to make him so calm and confident in his boastful statement?
"Sasuke, rest assured. Moonbath Leader's strength surpasses your imagination," Dai Tu said, sensing Sasuke's skepticism.
"What's with this 'Sasuke' business?" Boruto asked, speaking for Sasuke.
"Because he's older than the Sasuke on Naruto's side," Dai Tu replied honestly.
"If you don't like it, I can call you 'Big Sasuke' instead," Sasuke said.
Sasuke: ...
If the other world's Sasuke hadn't beaten Dai Tu, he must be incredibly powerful, as his demeanor was almost on par with his own.
After returning to the Uzumaki clan grounds, Dai Tu's first priority was to visit his grandmother.
After chatting with his grandmother for a while, Dai Tu headed to the home of Yuchibo Fu yue.
He had planned to visit Uzumaki Obito and Little Sasuke with Shizui, but since Shizui had some free time, he went ahead.
When Dai Tu arrived at the Fu yue residence, Shizui was in the courtyard conversing with Obito and Sasuke.
Noticing Dai Tu's arrival, Shizui paused and greeted him.
"Brother Dai Tu," Sasuke greeted politely, and Obito followed suit.
Dai Tu responded and walked forward, pinching Sasuke's cheek with his hand.
"Ow...what are you doing, Brother Dai Tu?" Sasuke's voice became muffled due to Dai Tu's mischievous hand.
"Because you're so cute, Sasuke," Dai Tu chuckled as he released his hand.
Even Sasuke's counterpart didn't give him any face, so he had to let Sasuke be a little embarrassed.
"You agree, don't you, Itachi?" Dai Tu sought Itachi's support to make his actions more convincing.
"Mhm," Itachi nodded subconsciously, acknowledging that his younger brother was indeed adorable.
"Brother, you're no better," Sasuke's cheeks flushed, and he squeezed his palms together, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"What were you guys talking about?" Dai Tu asked curiously.
"Itachi's academics. He's planning to graduate early and enter middle school," Shizui replied.
Through their journey to the parallel world, Shizui had gained a deeper understanding of Itachi's potential.
To acquire a capable assistant and ensure a promising future for the Uzumaki clan, Shizui decided to intensify Itachi's training, preventing him from being influenced by Fu yue or anyone else.
"Oh, right. Now you have to graduate from middle school to become a ninja," Dai Tu recalled hearing about the ninja school reforms.
Currently, one had to complete five years of primary school and four years of middle school before graduating to become a ninja.
"But with Itachi's abilities, he might not learn much in middle school. How about taking the middle school graduation exam and becoming a genin directly?" Dai Tu suggested, stroking his chin.
If Dai Tu were to assess Itachi's talent, he would say that the boy possessed the same potential he and Shizui once had.
At just seven years old, Itachi could rival some chunin, let alone genin.
"Later, he can train with you or me," Dai Tu said, not yet considering becoming a squad leader. He believed he needed a few more years of learning to improve, but training one person wouldn't be an issue.
After all, Itachi was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and Dai Tu had many things suitable for him.
"He'll graduate from middle school directly, but instead of training with us, he'll continue his studies at the Ninja University," Shizui shook his head.
"The Ninja University was fully established a few months ago and has already started admissions. Itachi's timing is perfect," Shizui explained.
Shizui enjoyed the school environment. When he was a student, he found it quite interesting, but due to various reasons, he had to become stronger quickly and thus graduated early.
Itachi was different; he didn't have the same urgency to grow stronger, and the Ninja University was an unprecedented advanced educational institution compared to the previous ninja school.
Therefore, Shizui believed Itachi could enjoy university life.
"That's not bad either. It would be great to go back to school. It should be very interesting," Dai Tu imagined a school life with Hinata, feeling excited.
...
Due to his severe injuries, Daitoryu ise Shiki used the Yellow Spring Evil Slope without much thought, his only concern being to stay away from the dangerous Konoha.
He directly teleported from Konoha to the River Country.
To recover from his injuries, Daitoryu ise Shiki devoured all the chakra he had collected in the Red Light Fish Basket.
Since he hadn't gathered enough chakra in the Ninja World and had used a lot in battles, his injuries hadn't fully healed.
So, Daitoryu ise Shiki decided to find powerful ninjas to collect chakra before returning to Konoha to reclaim his treasure.
However, the strength of the River Country ninjas couldn't compare to the Five Great Shinobi Countries, and Daitoryu ise Shiki had high standards. He was too lazy to bother with most jonin, and after a day of searching, he hadn't collected any chakra.
Just as Daitoryu ise Shiki was about to leave for another place, he encountered a monk wearing a white haori.
Daitoryu ise Shiki halted, and the monk stopped in his tracks as well.
Both stood in place, silently observing each other.
