[Hehe!]
[It's finally done!]
Haku looked at the patterns on his chest and smiled.
They were a pair of patterns resembling antlers. Between the antlers was the chakra storage space Haku had created with the Sealing Jutsu.
The corresponding position of this Sealing Jutsu was Haku's lungs. Haku planned to seal the Eight-Tails chakra seed refined by the system more than a year ago inside it.
[Come on!]
Haku directly had the system transfer the Eight-Tails chakra seed without hesitation. Without encountering any resistance, the Eight-Tails chakra seed entered the space formed by the Sealing Jutsu.
Moreover, because it had been refined and modified by the system, the Eight-Tails chakra seed showed no signs of violence after entering Haku's body. It was just like chakra Haku had refined himself from birth, and was even gentler than Eight Inner Gates chakra.
After sensing his body once more, Haku felt that the chakra available to him had decreased by ten percent, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
[Fortunately, I didn't deploy the entire Nine Palace Sealing Jutsu all at once. If I had, the chakra I could normally control would have instantly been reduced to only ten percent. That would have been extremely dangerous.]
[System, check how long it will take to fill this Eighth Palace with chakra.]
[Based on the host's current strength, filling the Eighth Palace will take eight years. As the host's strength increases, the speed of chakra accumulation will gradually accelerate.]
Haku looked at the result calculated by the system and was fairly satisfied. Eight years from now would be just when the Third Shinobi War intensified. Once the Nine Palace Sealing Jutsu was filled with chakra, it could serve as a trump card. Combined with his increasingly proficient Creation Rebirth Jutsu, he would not be at a disadvantage even against a Kage Level powerhouse by then.
If he activated the Eight Inner Gates Formation Technique, he might even be able to avenge himself against the Fourth Raikage.
[System, calculate the feasibility of changing the Sealing Jutsu formula after I fill it with chakra, turning the Sealing Jutsu into a controllable switch and transforming the sealing space into a second Dantian.]
After Haku adapted to his body, he presented another idea to the system.
[It can be achieved, but the host's current physical constitution is insufficient to support the eruption of such a massive amount of chakra. You need to further improve your physical constitution.]
[As long as it can be achieved, that's enough. This will further enhance my ability to unleash my power at the limit. As for the problem of the sudden surge in chakra, that can all be solved. When Saiyans transform into Super Saiyan Stage One, their Combat Power increases fiftyfold. I also possess Saiyan blood. How could the eruption from merely having one extra Dantian possibly stump me?]
In the days that followed, Haku resumed his normal routine. This continued until Orochimaru came looking for him.
Orochimaru's base in Konoha's Forest of Death.
[Haku, these past two years have been fairly relaxing, haven't they?]
[Hehe! Yeah, no one's been bothering me.]
Haku chuckled a few times. He knew that being able to remain in the village and cultivate peacefully for more than a year had been possible in no small part because of Orochimaru's help.
Otherwise, considering that he had transplanted a Sharingan, the Uchiha clan would have come knocking on his door long ago. They would never care whether the eye had been voluntarily given to Haku by one of their clansmen.
[I turned the Uchiha clan away. You don't need to worry.]
Seeing Haku play dumb, Orochimaru directly told him what had happened with the Uchiha clan.
[Ever since you participated in human experiments with me, your friends haven't been subjected to unfair treatment either.]
[You're even more deeply tied to me now. With the experiments I'm conducting, neither of us has to worry about the position of Hokage being a threat to us.]
When Haku saw the gleam flash through Orochimaru's eyes as he said this, the aura around him also turned gloomy.
[Teacher!]
Hearing Haku's voice, Orochimaru looked toward him, and the aura around him slowly receded.
[That position isn't easy to sit in. Your eyes will be blinded by it. There are too many people watching that position. Those of us without the support of a clan should stop entertaining such unrealistic hopes!]
Orochimaru revealed an interested expression upon hearing Haku's words.
[Oh? You've thought this through rather clearly. Go on, what are your thoughts?]
[Teacher, you were willing to accept that man's funding and conduct human experiments. Doesn't that mean you had already given up on that position?]
[Besides, I estimate it won't be long before that person finds a way to cause trouble. Peace in the Shinobi World doesn't serve his interests. Peace can't give him what he wants.]
[Someone like him can never sit in the position of Hokage. While he makes others lose the possibility of rising to power, he fails to realize that he is the first person to lose his qualifications.]
[Moreover, Third Hokage, who tolerates someone like him, isn't really a qualified Hokage either.]
After saying this, Haku did not continue. He merely stared intently at his teacher.
[Teacher, he... sigh!]
As Orochimaru listened to Haku, how could he not know that Haku was right?
