A Brand-New Version of Adamantine Sealing Chains

No one could interfere with the river of time. At the very least, no one in the Ninja World could.

"Finally! I've finally completed my ultimate Sealing Jutsu!" In the dimly lit Research Lab, Bai Yue's childish face was filled with fanaticism!

With Adamantine Sealing Chains as its foundation, he had blended in the strengths of other Sealing Jutsu to ultimately create a super sealing technique!

Suppression, erosion, assimilation, Curse Marks, sealing, soul devouring!

A brand-new version of Adamantine Sealing Chains that combined six deadly moves.

Or perhaps it was time to give this new Sealing Jutsu a new name!

Aside from the chains it extended being identical to Adamantine Sealing Chains, this new Sealing Jutsu had been completely altered at its core.

Adamantine Sealing Chains possessed two curse traits: suppression and sealing. The new Sealing Jutsu not only enhanced those two traits, but also added four more through the continual layering and fusion of curse inscriptions.

"Still, this Sealing Jutsu can be improved further! Right now, soul devouring sends an enemy's soul to the Corpse Ghost in the Pure Land. If I can someday purify the soul matter I devour and transfer it to myself to strengthen my soul, then it'll be perfect!"

Hmm... it would be even better if it could absorb Chakra and physical constitution too!

Hmm? What?

Evil cultivation?!

Truth, goodness, and beauty are only for high school students and younger!

In this cruel world, evil cultivation is the only righteous path!

If he knew how to forge a Human Emperor Banner, he would definitely make three or five of them to play with!

Still, absorbing Chakra seemed pretty easy, didn't it? Quite a few people had the ability to absorb Chakra.

That subordinate of Snake Uncle's, what was his name—Kabamaru or something? That guy could absorb other people's Chakra.

Anyway, it definitely wasn't Kabuto Yakushi.

Forgive Bai Yue for having long forgotten the names of those minor side characters.

The main reason Bai Yue remembered Kabamaru was because the name was distinctive enough.

It unconsciously made him think of Fruit Warriors.

If he got the chance, he would capture that guy and study him.

After all, that guy was the weakest and easiest to bully!

Mm-hmm, from now on, he would try to develop his Sealing Jutsu in the direction of evil cultivation!

Then!

Bai Yue gradually turned serious!

It was time to give this Sealing Jutsu a new name!

Chain of Heaven?

Chains of Order?

Sealing Soul Devourer?

Heaven and Earth Annihilation?

Forget it, forget it. Better not name it!

Adamantine Sealing Chains was a pretty good name! A name that was too exaggerated would easily make enemies wary.

Though Adamantine Sealing Chains, as a high-level Sealing Jutsu, was already enough to make enemies take it seriously!

Maybe he should call it something like Fireball Jutsu instead?

Also... those glittering golden chains were far too conspicuous. When he refined it in the future, he should try to make them transparent and colorless.

He could also add Barrier Ninjutsu inscriptions for concealment, silence, soundlessness, and the like!

Wow!

What an explosion of inspiration!

Thinking of all these ideas that would gradually perfect it made Bai Yue a little excited!

"Calm down! Calm down!" Bai Yue patted his increasingly sinister-looking face and forced himself to calm down.

"Young Master~" Just then, someone knocked on the door of the Research Lab, and Hyuga Hanako's voice came through.

"Hmm? What is it?" Bai Yue, having forcibly calmed himself, walked out of the Research Lab.

He knew that Aunt Hanako would not disturb him unless it was something important or time to eat.

"Young Master... you..." Hyuga Hanako eyed the suspicious flush on her Young Master's face, filled with doubt.

Her Young Master wasn't indulging in something inappropriate in the Black Room, was he?!

No, no! Young Master was still young, and he normally never came into contact with strange things like that!

So there was absolutely no way Young Master would... But that flush on his face really was suspicious!

Had that maiden called Kurenai Yuhi led Young Master astray?

Or that Kappa?

Genius Kakashi?

Or that gloomy little girl named Anko?

"So, Aunt Hanako, what exactly did you call me for?" Bai Yue felt uncomfortable all over when faced with Aunt Hanako's increasingly deranged expression, and hurriedly interrupted her.

"Ah?... Yes!" Snapping out of her suspicions, Hyuga Hanako immediately became serious. "Elder Jinren asked you to go over."

"Did he say what it was about?" Bai Yue rolled his Byakugan. His Old Master really was something else—he called Bai Yue over for every little matter!

Ever since even an ordinary Clan Member's wedding had required his presence, Bai Yue had decided to ask what it was about first before considering whether to go!

Otherwise, if he wasted his time every day on trivial matters, when would he ever dominate the Ninja World?!

"It seems that Lord Hizashi, the Branch Family Clan Head's eldest son, has been born!"

"..." Hizashi's eldest son?

Did that sacrificial pawn have other children too?

So... the sacrificial pawn's son, sacrificial pawn Neji, had been born?!

He had to go see him, no matter what!

After all, this tragic character really was quite pitiful.

Come to think of it, he did rather like Neji as a character. Even though he had gritted his teeth in hatred when Neji beat Hinata so badly that she was seriously injured.

But after learning about that unlucky fellow's experiences, Bai Yue had somewhat forgiven the poor child.

From accepting his fate, to accepting his fate, to accepting his fate!

That journey of the heart... tsk, tsk!

It was truly both tragic and lamentable!

"Well then, Aunt Hanako, I'm off!" After closing the Research Lab and adding a Barrier Ninjutsu, Bai Yue set off.

He was not guarding against Hanako by doing this. In truth, with Aunt Hanako's poor talent, Sealing Jutsu was a height she could never reach.

Otherwise, she would not have been allowed to study Medical Ninjutsu.

The reason Bai Yue sealed the Research Lab every time was purely to protect her. Once Aunt Hanako entered it, the only thing awaiting her would be execution!

"Grandpa~" Arriving at the main hall where the Old Master was, Bai Yue casually greeted him.

"Bai Yue, the Clan Head cannot show himself, so let's go take a look at Hizashi's child."

"Alright~ Uncle Hizashi's child must be very cute."

"Perhaps~" Hyuga Jinren looked toward the distant sky.

Tokuma... had truly aged a great deal!

As Clan Head, he had personally carved the Caged Bird onto his own son...

Did something like the Caged Bird truly need to exist?!

No! That wasn't right!

The Caged Bird was correct! Its existence ensured that the Hyuga Clan could survive steadily in this cruel world!

As they made their way there, Bai Yue had no idea that his Old Master had also begun to waver over the existence of the Caged Bird.

"Uncle Hizashi~" Bai Yue politely greeted this tragic man.

"Young Master Bai Yue..." Hizashi's lifeless face forcibly pulled into a stiff smile.

He still had some goodwill toward this son of the Main Family who claimed he would reform the Caged Bird.

Beside them, Hyuga Hiashi sighed inwardly! He had not seen his younger brother smile in a very long time. Even this stiff smile was something he had not seen in a long time!
