Six-Tails: Break the Seal and Let This Lord Out? Interesting!

If there were a mission to capture the Three-Tails in the future, he had no idea how long it would take to search lake after lake to find it.

This also made Xuan Yu realize that if he wanted to capture the Three-Tails, it would be best to have an acquaintance in the Mist Village or to gather intelligence in advance.

Otherwise, he would be forced to search slowly, lake by lake, to capture the Three-Tails.

While Xuan Yu was contemplating these matters, Utakata walked into the chaotic ruins with a heavy heart.

This place had not been specifically cleaned up, nor was there any value in doing so.

Utakata was certain that everything here remained largely unchanged from that night.

With a heart full of trepidation, he searched the vicinity carefully and found quite a few documents.

These documents were damaged to varying degrees, but because there were so many, he could still roughly reconstruct what they recorded.

After carefully reading through all the documents he could find, Utakata's shoulders could not help but tremble slightly.

This time, it was not out of fear or anger, but out of guilt—a deep, profound guilt.

He had not expected that everything Xuan Yu said was true.

The documents he had collected so far were all his teacher's research notes.

These research materials contained a vast amount of study regarding the curse within his body.

In addition to these, he also found some scattered manuscripts.

These scattered manuscripts caused Utakata even more agony; every one of them revealed his teacher's care and concern for him.

Clutching the damaged papers in his palm, he stumbled toward the cave that had haunted his dreams like an inescapable nightmare for countless midnights.

Of the entire small island, this place had been the most severely destroyed.

Nevertheless, Utakata entered the cave, seeing the chaotic laboratory and the stone platform from back then.

The scenes from that night flashed before his eyes once more.

But he understood now that he had been wrong back then, and for a long time afterward, he had remained wrong.

In the ruined laboratory, Utakata also found some research materials and manuscripts left behind by his teacher.

After reading through all the documents, he felt as if his strength had been sapped in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, his spirit utterly withered.

At this moment, Xuan Yu's voice drifted over: "What is past cannot be undone. Since you have committed a wrong, you should try your best to make amends for your mistakes."

"The current Mist Village remains a 'Bloody Mist' in the midst of fire and water. As this is the homeland of both you and your teacher, are you going to live in a state of listlessness and watch more suffering unfold when you have the ability to do something for the Mist Village?"

"I..." Utakata opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he eventually gave up on arguing with Xuan Yu.

After a long while, he sighed and asked, "What do I need to do? And how would I even possess the ability to atone? The monster inside me does not act according to my will at all."

Hearing Utakata say this, Xuan Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He said to Utakata, "That is the reason I have appeared before you. The monster inside you is both a disaster and an opportunity. If someone throws a piece of gold at you and gives it to you, that is certainly a good thing. But if someone throws a carriage full of gold at you, you must consider whether you will be crushed by it."

"The curse upon you is the same. The reason you are tormented by the curse is that you cannot control such a powerful monster. But I can strip away most of the monster's power and seal it away."

"This way, you will be able to use a small portion of the monster's power as easily as moving your own arm, and while the curse is lifted, you will also possess formidable strength. Without the burden of the curse, you will be able to train diligently just like a normal ninja."

Xuan Yu's words completely hoodwinked Utakata.

At this stage, Utakata had not yet fully mastered the Six-Tails to become a perfect Jinchuriki.

The existence of the Six-Tails brought him immense fear and distress.

One of the biggest reasons he lived in seclusion was the fear that he would be unable to suppress the Six-Tails, causing the Tailed Beast to go berserk and trigger a blood-soaked catastrophe.

Hearing Xuan Yu claim he could resolve the curse, Utakata could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.

He looked at Xuan Yu and said with extreme seriousness, "How do I lift the curse?"

Xuan Yu said nonchalantly, "Let us first return to where you were living before. After I help you resolve the curse, I still have to deal with that Tailed Beast. As for the matter of freeing the Mist Village from the sea of suffering that is the 'Bloody Mist,' you need not be in a hurry."

"There are already people in the Mist Village working toward that end, and I will cooperate further with you on this matter later. Once the curse issue is resolved, you continue to train hard and wait for my message."

Upon hearing this, Utakata nodded.

As he nodded, Xuan Yu activated Kamui, taking him to the forest where he had previously resided.

Arriving in the forest, Xuan Yu said to Utakata, "Sit down; you don't need to worry about what happens next."

Utakata hesitated slightly, but still sat down in the forest clearing.

Xuan Yu moved behind Utakata and began to perform the sealing technique.

"Slap!"

He first struck a palm against Utakata's back, imprinting an Eight Trigrams Seal upon him.

This Eight Trigrams Seal was one improved by the special effect entry "Precise Control."

The effect of the seal was similar to the one Naruto had, yet not entirely the same.

"Boom—"

Under the influence of the Eight Trigrams Seal, Saiken's chakra began to dissipate into Utakata's body bit by bit.

Utakata said in pain, "I can't suppress the monster's power anymore!"

Xuan Yu said nonchalantly, "No need to suppress it; I intend to release the majority of that Tailed Beast's chakra."

As Xuan Yu and Utakata spoke, the chakra of the Six-Tails Saiken began to leak out in increasing amounts.

However, Xuan Yu still felt this was too slow, so he immediately grabbed hold of Saiken's chakra and began pulling it out of Utakata's body at an even faster rate.

Within the seal space, Saiken watched every move in the outside world with fierce hostility.

Ever since being sealed inside Utakata, it had never gotten along with him and had constantly been looking for a way to break free.

Today, the opportunity had finally arrived; an extra seal had appeared on Utakata, creating a breach in his vessel that allowed its chakra to leak out.

Saiken had already decided that once it got out, it would crush the two insects outside.

But it had not expected that one of the insects outside was so ignorant of death that it actually felt it wasn't dying fast enough.

While its chakra was continuously leaking out, the other party actually felt the speed of its escape was too slow and kept dragging at its chakra from the outside.

Saiken immediately sneered in its heart, "Pathetic insect, once this lord breaks free, I will smash you into a pulp with a single tail!"
