Capturing Sage Chakra

"Heh heh~" Kurenai Yuhi sneered. She did not believe Bai Yue at all.

After all, in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes, how could this Little Bean, barely five or six years old, possibly compare to Lord Kushina?!

Damn it! If Chakra were not my weakness, I'd definitely show you what Tortoise Shell Bind is!

Bai Yue now somewhat regretted not refining Chakra!

If he had put even a little effort into refining Chakra, he would have taught this woman a lesson today.

Fuming all the way, Bai Yue followed Kurenai Yuhi to her home to put down the gifts before heading to Konoha Hospital.

Seeing Anko lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her brows occasionally furrowing in pain.

Bai Yue's expression changed slightly.

From the lively, cheerful, energetic girl he had met the first time to this miserable state.

She really was quite pitiful~

Betrayed by the person she trusted most and still suspected by the people of the village—it was easy to imagine how much pain this once carefree Girl would suffer after waking up.

He reached toward Anko's collar and gently pulled open the neckline of her hospital gown. What entered his sight was the original version of the Curse Mark of Heaven, formed by three black Magatama.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yue directly sent his Chakra into the sealing runes around the Curse Mark of Heaven.

He sensed the functions of those runes.

Hmm? Isolation, protection, nourishment, and even a little enhancement?

It was somewhat unexpected, yet also perfectly reasonable.

Hmm!

Perhaps Bai Yue's Chakra intrusion had caused the Curse Mark of Heaven to go berserk, but because several seals had been added, its rampage failed.

Yet even that failed rampage was enough to leave the unconscious Anko wearing a mask of pain.

"What are you doing?!" Kurenai Yuhi flew into a rage, but she was afraid of disturbing Anko.

"..." Bai Yue said nothing and simply acted.

Four Symbols Seal!

Eight Trigrams Seal!

The moment the two seals appeared, Anko's expression, which had been twisted in pain, immediately relaxed.

"???!!!" Stunned! This Little Bean actually knew Sealing Jutsu?!

Although Kurenai Yuhi did not know Sealing Jutsu, she had at least seen Lord Kushina use it.

She felt that Bai Yue's Sealing Jutsu might be even stronger than Lord Kushina's!

Because Lord Kushina had also used these two Sealing Jutsu, yet Anko had still suffered a little pain. But after Bai Yue used the two seals, while it was not quite instant, the effect was still remarkable!

Bai Yue shook his head helplessly and took back what he had said! Even if his Sealing Jutsu was not Number One Under Heaven, it was still number one in Konoha!

Lord Kushina's methods were far too simple and crude! The only thing that stood out was overwhelming quantity.

This was probably the difference between learning that one plus one equaled two and understanding why one plus one equaled two.

If he had to give an example, Minato Namikaze spent three years creating the Rasengan, while Naruto Uzumaki spent twelve days learning it. You could not possibly claim that Naruto was more talented than Minato Namikaze, could you?!

Lord Kushina knew Sealing Jutsu, but she only knew how to use it. As for the principles behind it, or how to use Sealing Jutsu more precisely, she did not know.

Several nodes of the Curse Mark of Heaven had not been sealed, which was why Anko was still affected by it to some extent.

But now, he had directly sealed all of those nodes. As long as Anko rested properly and soothed her exhausted mind after all that torment, she would wake up in a day at most.

Of course~ Bai Yue had not completely sealed it.

To completely resolve the Curse Mark of Heaven, he could either drain all of Anko's Chakra, leaving the Curse Mark of Heaven with nothing to rely on. Then he could seal off all its connections with the outside world, preventing it from absorbing Natural Energy. Before long, the Curse Mark of Heaven would dissipate on its own.

The other method was to extract all of Orochimaru's cells, Chakra, and part of his Soul Fragment from the Curse Mark of Heaven.

Bai Yue could not yet accomplish the second method. Perhaps after studying the soul-targeting aspects of the Reaper Death Seal, or finding some other method that could affect souls, he would be able to resolve it completely.

But for now~

Bai Yue was more interested in the Sage Chakra within the Curse Mark of Heaven!

After all, that was Sage Chakra!

And it was not Sage Chakra derived from the Three Great Sacred Places!

It was Sage Chakra absorbed by Jugo's unique physique.

Compared with the dangerous Sage Chakra cultivation methods of the Three Great Sacred Places, Jugo's Sage Chakra was much safer. At worst, it merely drove someone mad and made them go berserk.

In other words~ this was Sage Chakra more suitable for humans.

Bai Yue was extremely interested!

He once again used Chakra to probe the Curse Mark of Heaven, analyzing it layer by layer...

Before long~ Bai Yue discovered two suspicious types of energy, one cold and sinister, the other violent and berserk!

He could not determine whether the cold energy came from Orochimaru's cells or Soul Fragment, but the violent energy was definitely Sage Chakra from Jugo.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yue directly captured a small portion of it.

The process was extremely difficult! Although this was incomplete Sage Chakra, its energy level was still higher than ordinary Chakra.

Combined with Bai Yue's pitifully small Chakra reserves, the difficulty was pushed to the limit!

Fortunately, Bai Yue was not greedy and captured only a tiny amount.

Whew~ He had finally succeeded!

Looking at the Sage Chakra he had drawn out, Bai Yue immediately sighed in relief!

He then used Sealing Jutsu again to seal this tiny amount of Sage Chakra onto his arm.

The consecutive use of Sealing Jutsu nearly made the exhausted Bai Yue pass out on the spot.

Even so~ Bai Yue's face was terrifyingly pale!

"What's wrong with you?!" Kurenai Yuhi immediately stepped forward and supported Bai Yue.

"I'm fine~" Bai Yue smiled faintly. Though his complexion looked awful, the excitement in his eyes was practically overflowing!

"And you say you're fine?!" Kurenai Yuhi panicked!

Did this look like he was fine?! He was completely drained! It was obviously caused by Chakra overexertion!

"I'm really fine~" Bai Yue said helplessly.

The Chakra in his body was not refined by squeezing his flesh and spirit dry. It was generated on its own because of the Byakugan.

So even if he overexerted himself, it was not too serious. At the very least, he would not collapse immediately like Kakashi.

He only needed to rest for a little while.

"You should lie down and rest first. I'll go get a doctor!" With that, Kurenai Yuhi placed Bai Yue beside Anko.

"There's really no need. Our Hyuga Clan has its own Medical Ninja." Bai Yue's unspoken meaning was that he did not quite trust the Medical Ninja outside, including those at Konoha Hospital.

Kurenai Yuhi immediately froze. Clearly, she understood Bai Yue's unspoken meaning.

Then~ Kurenai Yuhi's pretty face fell!

She really was...

Both times she had met Bai Yue, unexpected incidents had occurred!

The last time, she had been attacked and caught up as an innocent bystander, leaving her feeling utterly wronged!

And this time, in order to treat her good friend, the Young Master of the Hyuga Main Family had actually exhausted himself to the point of Chakra overexertion!
