Sealing!

"What's the point of this!"

Hinata wanted to yell that out loud.

Anyone whose True Qi, cultivated painstakingly for Three Years, turned out to be largely useless would be furious.

Especially now, when she felt trapped, it was even more critical.

"Don't tell me I have to seal this damned thing inside me?"

Looking up at the ropes coiling around her from all directions, Hinata twitched her lips.

Fortunately, this thing seemed to be an energy being. Sealing it inside her body would only cause psychological discomfort, nothing major... right?

Hinata made up her mind. Once this incident was over, she would definitely get herself a spatial ability. Otherwise, she'd be too passive if she encountered this situation again.

"If it's a Sealing Jutsu, I'll have to learn it on the spot..."

Although she had secretly... ahem, seen others use Sealing Jutsu before, and more than once, this was her first time truly attempting it.

Moreover, she didn't know if she could even use a Sealing Jutsu with True Qi.

The good news, however, was that Hinata had extremely high control over her True Qi. If any dangerous situation arose, she could stop immediately, preventing any backlash from the True Qi.

Besides, there was a massive barrier outside, covered in Sealing Jutsu. Wasn't that a ready-made sample?

As for the target of the Sealing Jutsu, the entire subspace was the target!

With a dull thud, the Chōji Clan Leader, using Expansion Jutsu to become no smaller than the giant corpse, was swatted away.

Following a graceful parabolic trajectory, the Chōji Clan Leader hit the ground, rolled a couple of times, and slid several more meters before stopping.

This kind of situation had happened several times already; the ground around them was etched with numerous ditches created by the Chōji Clan Leader.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio were three clans famous throughout Konoha and the entire Shinobi World.

The Akimichi clan's Expansion Jutsu, the Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch Technique that could invade others' minds, and the Nara clan's Shadow Secret Technique.

This combination could control enemies to death, how disgusting.

But now, they had finally encountered someone who wasn't affected by control.

The Mind Body Switch Technique was completely useless. After all, do the dead have spirits?

Although the Shadow Secret Technique had some effect, the power difference between the Nara Clan Leader and the giant corpse was too great. Coupled with the giant corpse's immunity to some Chakra, it couldn't be controlled at all.

On the scene, only the Akimichi Clan Leader, after using Expansion Jutsu, could clash head-on with the giant corpse.

But this giant corpse, for some reason, possessed immense strength. The Akimichi Clan Leader was sent flying the moment he collided with it.

If it were only this level, it would be fine. After all, the clan leaders of Konoha's major clans were mostly gathered here now.

This meant that Konoha's peak combat power was almost entirely concentrated here.

While others didn't know Expansion Jutsu, they were all proficient in various B-rank and A-rank ninjutsu.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku; his Fire Style was the most dazzling among those present.

The Hyuga Patriarch beside him couldn't help but close his Byakugan, inwardly cursing.

But after they had painstakingly shattered the giant corpse, this guy actually reformed into a giant corpse.

The scene of the giant corpse reassembling made everyone present's eyelids twitch.

Keep in mind, the reassembled giant corpse was not the same as the previous one, which was formed from a complete body minus the head.

When the giant corpse was shattered, due to the barrage of high-power ninjutsu, the corpses it was made of were already in terrible pieces.

And yet, it could reassemble again!

What was even more outrageous was that because these corpses were, to some extent, dismembered, the reassembled giant corpse looked more "human"!

Torso stuck to torso, arms stuck to arms, chests and abdomens stuck together; various black, bloody fluids squeezed together, forming a disgusting giant corpse. This one also lacked a head.

After the giant corpse reassembled, the atmosphere instantly changed.

Fortunately, those dealing with the giant corpse were the clan leaders of the major clans, whose experience surpassed ordinary people.

Although the giant corpse could reassemble after being destroyed, it was far from reaching a point of despair.

Since the target couldn't be destroyed, they would seal it!

Even though the Sealing Squad was too busy to help, and even the Sealing Squad for the Jinchuriki of Black Shadow was occupied sealing those ropes, so the major clans had to act.

The ideal scenario would be to seal the entire giant corpse intact, but although the giant corpse was clumsy and not fast.

It was incredibly strong!

So, they had to shatter it again and seal the parts one by one.

Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward. "I'll do it."

He was in the best condition right now because he hadn't had many opportunities to engage in combat before. After all, the Hyuga clan didn't know many ninjutsu.

Relying on his agility over the giant corpse, Hyuga Hiashi jumped up and struck the connection points of the giant corpse's limbs, then quickly retreated.

During this process, he didn't even activate his Byakugan.

Since attacking the meridians and internal organs had no effect on the giant corpse, there was no need to focus on the meridians anymore.

The giant corpse tried to continue moving, but the next moment, its limb connection points made a series of cracking sounds, followed by a biaji, and the giant corpse split into five pieces, falling to the ground.

The various clan leaders, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately stepped forward to seal the giant corpse's limbs one by one.

When the giant corpse was completely sealed, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they looked towards the barrier and found that it had shrunk by a large margin.

It wouldn't be long before these ropes were squeezed into a mess by the barrier, and then it would be time to seal the ropes.

Watching the barrier gradually shrink, everyone silently recovered their Chakra.

The giant corpse had been successfully sealed outside, and within the subspace, Hinata had also almost mastered the Sealing Jutsu.

"Although it's just the simplest Sealing Jutsu, only I could have modified it to be driven by True Qi in such a crisis. I'm amazing!"

After a moment of self-admiration, she placed her hands on the ground.

"Sealing Technique!"

Countless runes appeared and then wrapped around the headless blood corpse, which was formed by the convergence of blood after Hinata had completely shattered it.

Under the Sealing Jutsu, the headless blood corpse gradually shrank, finally turning into a blood shadow and then converging onto Hinata's... clothes. A blood-soaked, headless blood corpse instantly appeared on Hinata's jacket.

Speaking of which, would anyone really think Hinata would seal these corpses inside herself? What decent person would seal corpses inside their own body?

Since the corpses were dealt with, all that was left was...

"This subspace..."

Although Hinata really wanted to just seal these ropes and leave.

But the ropes, which stretched as far as the eye could see, and the fact that they appeared out of thin air from the sky, making it impossible to find their source, made Hinata abandon the idea of sealing the ropes one by one. She could only set her sights on the entire subspace.

Fortunately, although the subspace looked large, its diameter was actually only about three kilometers.
