Researching How to Eradicate the Will of the Six Paths!

Hyuga Shin went into seclusion, preparing to properly study how to deal with the Will of the Six Paths hidden inside chakra.

Recently, he had also realized that he seemed to have been acting a little too cautiously. Could he really be afraid of the Sage of Six Paths?

Though he kept saying he wanted to face off against the Sage of Six Paths, he had delayed it again and again, all because he was afraid that old schemer was hiding too many tricks.

Thinking back to all those Naruto fanfics from his previous life, maybe he, Lord Hyuga Shin, was one of them too.

If he kept being such a coward, the esteemed readers would be unhappy when they saw it. Wouldn't they curse me to death?!

Fuck it! Just do it!

Once he studied it clearly and found a way to deal with the Sage of Six Paths' backup plans, he would stop hiding.

I am the Great Teacher of the Ninja World! The savior of the leeks! The future number one cultivation Dao Ancestor of the ninja world!

If the Sage of Six Paths had the guts, he could come out of the Pure Land and fight him. Worst case, he would stop hiding and directly advance to the Nascent Soul Realm on the spot.

What was there to be afraid of? Screw him! At most, the whole world would become his enemy!

Before, he had thought there was no need. Now, his bloodline had awakened again.

This was how a normal person thought—ever-changing, unrestrained.

Forget it. No more wild thoughts. First, he had to deal with this objective.

Hyuga Shin suppressed the chaos in his mind and devoted himself entirely to research.

The war was still ongoing, and the flames of the Third Shinobi World War burned ever higher.

"How about sealing it with a Sealing Technique?"

Hyuga Shin's attainments in Sealing Technique were still very high.

"That seems a little troublesome. The will is buried deep inside the chakra, practically fused into one whole with it."

"And once sealed, there's a high chance the chakra would be sealed along with it."

"That would be a bit impractical. The leeks of the ninja world wouldn't be willing to exchange losing their own power for true freedom."

"Back then, I dispersed all my chakra and sealed the Chakra Seed. That method also requires losing power, so it doesn't seem suitable either."

"The Chakra Seed? Right, I can study that!"

Hyuga Shin sat there brainstorming, when he suddenly thought of the key point.

He immediately began observing the Chakra Seed sealed within his own body.

Inside Hyuga Shin's lower abdomen was a pale-blue chakra mass like a wisp of flame, sealed beneath layer upon layer of seals, even more complex than the Fourth's Eight Trigrams Seal!

Deep within that seal was the Chakra Seed.

At first, Hyuga Shin had wanted to completely erase this wisp of Chakra Seed.

However, back then, after losing his power, he discovered he couldn't do it. Later, when he had strength again, he wasn't afraid of it making trouble, so he had stopped taking it seriously.

He didn't know whether he had been affected before.

It was highly possible that the Will of the Six Paths was also hidden inside the Chakra Seed!

After all, this was the source of a ninja's power.

Thinking about it now, it really was a time bomb!

Then he absolutely couldn't allow it to exist!

Hyuga Shin sent his divine sense through the seal, wrapped it around the Chakra Seed, and carefully analyzed the secrets contained within it.

The pale-blue flame-seed flickered unnaturally, as if it had sensed something unusual.

Through his careful study of the Chakra Seed, Hyuga Shin discovered that there really was a dormant will mixed within it.

However, it was not particularly powerful.

It was helically embedded with the chakra like DNA, indistinguishable from it.

This should have been something the Sage of Six Paths had deliberately left behind, a backdoor used to erode a ninja's will so he could control the direction of the ninja world.

If he wanted to completely break it down, he had to erase the Will of the Six Paths embedded within it.

Otherwise, as long as the Will of the Six Paths existed, the Chakra Seed would not be completely erased!

To be precise, chakra had been thoroughly infiltrated by the Sage of Six Paths!

Once he found the root cause, it was not difficult for Hyuga Shin to solve.

Besides, it was only a small wisp of the Will of the Six Paths. Dealing with it would not be hard.

But what Hyuga Shin worried about was whether removing the Will of the Six Paths from chakra would affect the chakra itself.

And whether it would cause irreversible harm to the leeks' strength.

This point was crucial. If he did not solve it, the plans afterward could not proceed.

"Forget those things for now. I'll dismantle the bomb inside my own body first! Otherwise, I really don't know if I'll be affected again."

Hyuga Shin decided to first test it on his own Chakra Seed.

A strand of divine sense condensed to the extreme—or rather, Hyuga Shin's spiritual will—began entering the Chakra Seed to eliminate the Will of the Six Paths within it.

The Will of the Six Paths embedded within the Chakra Seed sensed the threat and showed signs of awakening.

But Hyuga Shin gave him no such chance. He directly used his powerful divine sense to forcibly grind away the Will of the Six Paths that existed within the Chakra Seed.

The DNA-chimeric pattern between chakra and the Will of the Six Paths was broken, leaving behind an even deeper-blue chakra spark.

It did not vanish because the Will of the Six Paths had disappeared! It had even become purer!

This was an extremely important discovery!

It could basically be confirmed that the chakra system of the ninja world was one enormous scam! And now there was enough evidence!

Afterward, Hyuga Shin completely erased that pure chakra, removed all the Sealing Techniques, and his body became flawless again, without the slightest leak.

However, he did not know whether the chakra refined by other ninja was any different from the Chakra Seed.

Hyuga Shin truly had no way to verify that point. He had abandoned the chakra system long ago.

"Looks like I'll need Orochimaru and Tsunade to lend a hand." Hyuga Shin did not dawdle either, and directly called over the relatively idle Tsunade for an experiment.

Hyuga Shin first had Tsunade release a certain amount of chakra, then analyzed it with his powerful divine sense.

The facts were exactly as he had expected. Even within a ninja's own chakra, a certain amount of the Will of the Six Paths lay hidden inside.

To continue his research, Hyuga Shin even drained Tsunade's chakra until it was almost gone, then had her refine it again.

The result was still the same!

There was a problem right at the source.

Sure enough, it had been thoroughly infiltrated! And the stronger someone was, the more thorough the infiltration should be, because a powerful person's chakra reserves were inevitably larger!

The Will of the Six Paths hidden within would only accumulate bit by bit!

To verify this, Hyuga Shin had Tsunade summon Jonin, Chunin, and Genin, then compared them separately.

The result was indeed just as Hyuga Shin had expected!

The Will of the Six Paths was hidden deep within every ninja's chakra.

The greater the amount of chakra, the more will was hidden inside! The smaller the amount of chakra, the less will it contained!

This further confirmed Hyuga Shin's previous guess: the stronger someone was, the more easily they would be affected!

Next came the study of how to remove the Will of the Six Paths contained within chakra.

Since it had already been confirmed that chakra would not disappear just because the will inside it vanished, Hyuga Shin could experiment boldly.

Afterward, Hyuga Shin had Orochimaru send over a few captives and began his research.

First came Sealing Techniques. Since he had found the source, Sealing Techniques now had value as something worth trying.

Hyuga Shin attempted to seal the Will of the Six Paths contained within the Chakra Seed to see if it could be done without affecting chakra.

For several days in a row, Hyuga Shin did nothing else and kept trying.

But the result was not perfect.

Although it could effectively block the encroachment of the Will of the Six Paths at the source, refining chakra afterward became extremely slow.

Its value was not very high.

Afterward, Hyuga Shin tried the method he had used before, making the captive ninja release all their chakra.

This could effectively reduce the Will of the Six Paths inside their bodies.

Then he would violently grind away the Will of the Six Paths inside the Chakra Seed within their bodies.

This method was indeed useful. It could greatly reduce the difficulty of erasing the Will of the Six Paths without being detected.

After verification, the chakra of ninja who had the Will of the Six Paths removed did not disappear. Instead, it increased!

And it also boosted the ninjutsu they performed, making it even more powerful!

But the troublesome part was that Hyuga Shin had to personally take action to solve it. After all, ninja without divine sense simply could not detect the existence of the Will of the Six Paths.

It was not suitable for spreading throughout the Shinobi World.

He still needed a more complete method to remove or effectively restrict the will of the Six Paths.

Ideally, it had to be a method that would allow ninja to discover it themselves. Otherwise, with nothing but empty words, no one would believe him.

Hyuga Shin considered some other methods, but rejected them one by one. None of them were very suitable.

"Can I make them cleanse their own chakra once, so they can discover the abnormality inside it for themselves?"

Hyuga Shin pondered the possibility.
