Power of the Dragon Vein

The next day, early morning.

Hinata Hyuga woke up early and prepared breakfast.

Whether it was due to training the Wind Release Chakra Mode or some other reason, Temari looked as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.

Su Yu, on the other hand, had slept very comfortably.

The three of them ate breakfast together and tidied up the tableware.

Su Yu and Temari headed to the Hokage Office to exchange supplies.

Anko Mitarashi was also there; upon seeing Su Yu, she turned her head away, pretending not to see him.

Once the supply exchange was completed.

Tsunade issued an order to Anko Mitarashi.

"From today on, you are Su Yu's subordinate. You must follow him at all times; his orders are my orders."

"Lord Hokage, this..." Anko Mitarashi couldn't quite believe it.

"Is there a problem?" Tsunade stared straight at Anko Mitarashi.

Anko Mitarashi opened her mouth, realizing that this order could not be changed.

She lowered her head and replied.

"No problem, Lord Hokage."

"Then, I shall depart. Have the Anbu follow us, and once we reach the territory of Sunagakure, they can return," Su Yu said, looking at Tsunade.

Tsunade nodded.

In truth, even without Su Yu saying it, the Anbu members would have done so anyway.

The Anbu responsible for protecting Temari consisted of two squads, totaling six Anbu ninjas.

This configuration was second only to the personnel protecting the Daimyo.

Konoha placed great importance on the exchange of supplies.

Su Yu, Temari, and Anko Mitarashi.

The three of them left the Hokage Office.

Anko Mitarashi looked visibly displeased.

Su Yu did not strike up a conversation with her.

Temari noticed Anko Mitarashi's dissatisfaction and chose not to speak first.

They arrived at the gates of Konoha.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga were both waiting there.

"Let's go." Su Yu looked at the two of them.

Hinata Hyuga stood by Su Yu's side, while Neji Hyuga trailed slightly behind.

Root members observing from the shadows discovered that Su Yu and his group had departed and immediately turned to report the news.

After receiving the information, Danzo pondered for a moment before ultimately abandoning any action.

The reason was very simple.

To deal with this team's configuration, at least six or more Root members would need to be deployed.

Furthermore, with two Byakugan users in the group, if they were discovered, it was entirely possible for them to escape.

Most importantly, Tsunade had arranged for the Anbu to closely monitor every move made by Root.

Never mind deploying six people; even three would likely not escape the Anbu's surveillance.

If they were caught by the Anbu, the Yamanaka Clan was not to be trifled with.

No matter what secrets were in their minds, they would be probed by the Yamanaka Clan.

Danzo's current life could be said to be entirely under Tsunade's control.

This made him miss the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage had been quite gentle with him, but ever since Tsunade took office, she had begun targeting him, to the point where he didn't even have the qualifications to attend the Jonin Council.

Danzo wanted to break free from this situation.

However, he lacked the capability.

Unless a crisis occurred in Konoha that caused Tsunade to lose consciousness.

From morning until noon.

Su Yu's group arrived at the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran.

With Temari taking the lead, naturally, no one blocked their path.

The ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran were not on the surface, but underground.

The surface was covered by wind and sand, and almost no ordinary people ever came here.

The main entrance was guarded by ninjas from Sunagakure.

"All of you stay here; I want to study the Fourth Hokage's Sealing Jutsu alone," Su Yu said to the group.

"Will there be any danger inside?" Hinata Hyuga asked.

"This place has been searched many times already; there is no danger here," Temari shook her head.

"Rest assured and wait here until I return," Su Yu patted Hinata Hyuga's small head.

Hinata Hyuga's pretty face flushed red, and she nodded.

Only then did Su Yu walk through the door and close it behind him.

As he walked forward, he observed the surrounding architecture.

To be honest, the architectural style of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran resembled that of another world; it didn't look like anything that should exist in the world of Naruto.

When Su Yu reached the center, he saw the Fourth Hokage's sealing formation, with a Flying Thunder God Kunai still left in the middle.

He did not rush to touch the Sealing Jutsu, as this was not something he could easily undo.

Su Yu crouched on the ground, carefully examining the sealing formation before him.

This Sealing Jutsu originated from the Uzumaki Clan and was specifically designed to seal chakra and other forms of energy.

However, this Sealing Jutsu had a flaw: once the caster died, the effectiveness of the seal would gradually weaken.

He could already sense a trace of the Power of the Dragon Vein.

From this, one could also see just how formidable the Fourth Hokage was.

He had passed away over a decade ago, yet the Sealing Jutsu had not collapsed; instead, it remained functional.

Although it had weakened, there should be no issues for at least another three years.

Su Yu recalled the plot of the Naruto movie, which seemed to take place exactly three years later.

He looked at the sealing formation before him and placed his hand upon it.

Golden chains emerged from behind him, passing directly through the sealing formation to begin absorbing the Power of the Dragon Vein within.

Su Yu watched as the Power of the Dragon Vein condensed into a mass.

It lacked the volatility of Tailed Beast power; while it appeared to be a single mass of energy, in reality, the power of the Dragon Vein was composed of many individual strands of energy.

Each strand of the Dragon Vein's power originated from deep underground.

"Hm?" Su Yu suddenly discovered that the Power of the Dragon Vein was being attracted to the Tailed Beast chakra, attempting to merge with it.

After a moment of hesitation, he began to let a few strands of the Dragon Vein's power integrate.

The next second.

Su Yu discovered that his Tailed Beast chakra had actually increased!

Could it be that the energy absorbed by the Ten-Tails back then was the Power of the Dragon Vein? A bold guess formed in Su Yu's mind.

This was highly probable, as evidenced by the current increase in his Tailed Beast chakra.

For a Tailed Beast, the Power of the Dragon Vein might be the most nourishing energy of all.

With this thought, Su Yu began to feed the One-Tail chakra with the Power of the Dragon Vein.

This mass of chakra continued to grow.

At the same time.

Su Yu sensed a change in his Wind-style chakra.

It was extremely similar to the chakra of the One-Tail.

Is this because having too much Tailed Beast chakra allows one to master a portion of the Tailed Beast's power? Su Yu realized.

Half an hour later.

The Power of the Dragon Vein could no longer be integrated.

The answer was simple: the Tailed Beast chakra could not exceed ten times the limit of his own base chakra.

Su Yu paused for a few seconds before switching to the Nine-Tails chakra.

Consequently, the Nine-Tails chakra began to increase.

However, the Nine-Tails chakra did not seem to provide any chakra bonuses.

This was not hard to understand.

After all, the Nine-Tails' chakra did not belong to any of the five existing elemental chakra types.

But...

Su Yu attempted to condense a Rasengan using his own chakra combined with the Nine-Tails chakra.

As a result, the size of the Rasengan changed.

It expanded directly to the size of a basketball, and its power increased significantly.

"As expected, the power of the Nine-Tails is closest to the Ten-Tails; it provides a bonus to any type of chakra," Su Yu was not surprised.

He would have been surprised if there hadn't been any bonus at all.

The Nine-Tails' chakra still did not exceed the ten-fold limit.
