Method of Sealing Successful!

Kakuzu remembered someone, someone he had spent several months searching for without success.

At that time, Kakuzu, who was solely focused on making money, would occasionally consider robbing wealthy individuals who lacked sufficient protection.

This was one of his methods for earning money.

However, he was quite principled and would generally let people go once he received his payment.

Therefore, he would find ways to earn some extra cash from those who were rich but lacked protection.

Seven or eight years ago, a certain person entered Kakuzu's sights.

That person was the renowned and rapidly rising author in the Ninja World, Teacher Dalong!

This guy was incredibly wealthy!

Kakuzu learned of his existence through the underground black market.

This was because many ninjas in the black market were eyeing Teacher Dalong.

His few works had earned at least a billion Ryo!

When Kakuzu heard this news, he was instantly energized!

This was a huge fat sheep!

Taking him down once would be equivalent to ten years of his own hard work.

So, Kakuzu put in a great deal of effort to find Teacher Dalong.

But in the end, he didn't find him.

Hyuga Shin never used his real appearance, and he initially used clones to collect royalties from publishers in various countries.

As soon as he got the money, he would instantly escape using pre-made Space Scrolls.

Later, after setting up bank accounts in various countries, his royalties were directly deposited into his accounts, making him even more reclusive.

He left no trace whatsoever, and no ninja could track him down.

Eventually, the matter was dropped.

Three years ago, Teacher Dalong announced his retirement, and his readers were filled with regret and sighs!

"Leader, you're not... you're not the famous novelist in the Ninja World, Teacher Dalong, are you!"

After Kakuzu figured it out, a shocking guess formed in his mind.

"Ah, haha~ You found me out!" Hyuga Shin's old face flushed, and he scratched the back of his head with his right hand, looking a bit embarrassed.

Originally, Sasori and Hidan had no further thoughts when their leader seemed reluctant to speak, but Kakuzu didn't give up.

He was quite surprised to hear that Hyuga Shin had earned such a large sum of money by writing novels.

He hadn't expected writing novels to be so profitable!

Even Sasori was a little tempted and planned to try it out when he had the chance, as puppetry was too expensive!

But when they heard that Hyuga Shin was Teacher Dalong, they were also a bit curious, not understanding why Kakuzu had such a shocked expression.

Of course, they could also see that their leader was somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Kakuzu, what's so strange about the leader being Teacher Dalong? Why do you have that expression?" Hidan asked curiously.

Sasori also silently waited for Kakuzu's answer.

He had a feeling that Kakuzu had discovered a secret his leader was trying to hide.

"Go play somewhere else, you little brat, what do you know! You'll understand when the time comes," Kakuzu said, seeing Hyuga Shin's embarrassment and choosing not to expose him directly.

He had read Teacher Dalong's works. After all, seeing how profitable it was, he wanted to try it himself.

As a result, during that period, it almost led Kakuzu, a devout follower of money, astray.

Fortunately, his pursuit of money was firm enough, and after spending hundreds of thousands of Ryo in a short time, he had a sudden realization!

Otherwise, his kidneys might not have been safe.

That was a pain he had buried deep in his heart for many years. He, who loved making money, had never squandered it like that before.

Seeing that Kakuzu wouldn't say anything, Hidan and Sasori became even more curious, both thinking that they must read their leader's works when they had the chance.

"Alright, since we've eaten, it's time to discuss business."

Hyuga Shin's expression quickly returned to normal; his embarrassment didn't last long.

Hearing Hyuga Shin mention business, Kakuzu and the other two instantly became serious, quietly waiting for Hyuga Shin's instructions.

Hyuga Shin placed one hand on the floor of the room, and barrier sealing runes quickly spread across the entire room, sealing it off.

It was better to be cautious; Hyuga Shin's actions were always meticulous.

"My research has basically yielded results. Although it's not completely perfect, after deduction, it's possible to try it out."

"A method for clearing the Will of the Six Paths needs a secure place to be implemented. I won't go into detail here for now; we'll try it once a suitable location is found."

"The main thing now is to experiment with the method of sealing and protecting your soul wills."

"This method has been thoroughly optimized and shouldn't pose any significant problems."

"Kakuzu, Sasori, who wants to try it first?"

Hyuga Shin explained his findings to the three of them before asking for Kakuzu and Sasori's opinions.

"I'll do it. Sasori is still too young and lacks experience," Kakuzu said, stepping up as the elder brother of the organization.

"Alright, then Kakuzu, you'll try it. But rest assured, with me here, there won't be any issues!"

Hyuga Shin greatly admired Kakuzu's sense of responsibility.

He then took out eight scrolls, which he had prepared long ago, containing the Method of Sealing, from his Ring.

Next, he explained how to guide the Method of Sealing to Kakuzu and the others.

It wasn't difficult, and Kakuzu picked it up easily.

After all, Hyuga Shin had spent so much time refining it, and the results were quite good.

After trying it a few times without any mistakes, Kakuzu spread out the eight scrolls in a circle, kneeling in the center.

"Seal!" he shouted after casting the guiding technique.

Instantly, on the surrounding sealing scrolls, all the characters seemed to come alive and crawled towards Kakuzu's body.

Then, one by one, the sealing characters climbed onto Kakuzu's forehead and drilled inside.

Within Kakuzu's soul space, guided by his pure Chakra, the sealing runes gradually covered his entire soul space.

They then converged, forming a giant, web-like seal that covered his soul space.

Chains of runes extended and embedded themselves into the consciousness soul body within his soul space.

The entire soul space became even more stable the moment the seal was completed.

A few minutes later, the casting was finished.

Kakuzu showed no abnormalities.

Hyuga Shin knew he had succeeded!

Without waiting for Kakuzu to report the results, his divine sense instantly probed into Kakuzu's soul space.

As soon as it made contact, before it could fully enter, the sealing runes within Kakuzu's soul space moved.

Like thick pythons, they swarmed towards Hyuga Shin's divine sense.

Kakuzu, due to the successful sealing, instantly noticed the anomaly. However, he had guessed it was Hyuga Shin testing it, so he wasn't overly worried.

Hyuga Shin tested it and found the overall effect to be good.

It could effectively protect the soul space, detect invading consciousness, and block it.

Without expending great effort, remote intrusion was unlikely, essentially eliminating the risk of the Sage of Six Paths controlling Kakuzu and the others again.

Only now did the future of the Spark Organization have a glimmer of hope for true continuation.

Without a method to protect their consciousness from erosion, all ideals would be like flowers in a mirror or the moon on the water – unattainable.

Seeing that Hyuga Shin had finished testing, Kakuzu immediately shared his experience during the casting process to provide experience for Sasori and Hidan.

Since there were no problems, Hyuga Shin didn't delay. He took out the spare sealing scrolls and handed them to Sasori and Hidan.

They had basically learned the operational method, and with Kakuzu's experience and Hyuga Shin guarding them, there was nothing to worry about.

They then began practicing the guiding method. After they had thoroughly mastered it, the two of them started building the firewall for their soul will.

Everything went smoothly, with no abnormalities. This firewall plan was a complete success!

Afterward, Hyuga Shin taught Kakuzu and Sasori how to make the sealing scrolls, suggesting they could specialize in one or two parts if it was too difficult.

As long as they could ensure no mistakes were made.

Once the organization had more members, they could achieve mass production through division of labor. Even without his participation, the continuation of the Spark Organization could be guaranteed.

As for Hidan, he was excluded. His system was fundamentally different, and he wouldn't be able to learn it anyway.

Things had finally made some progress. The matter of developing more organization members would need to be put on the agenda after they set up the Small Space Barrier and could independently deal with the Will of the Six Paths.

A single spark can start a prairie fire!
