It's almost certain that this bell is no ordinary object. Perhaps it contains some kind of secret, but it's Shinsei can't answer.
The shrine maiden's Sealing Jutsu and the Sealing Jutsu Shinsei learned are two different systems. They can only confirm that there's something wrong with the bell, but they can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong.
"If I'm not mistaken, your power should be related to this bell. I can't guess exactly what the connection is. But this bell is no ordinary bell." Shinsei handed the bell to Shion.
Shion took the bell and examined it carefully, but she couldn't figure it out.
She hung the bell back on her waist and said in a low voice, "This is something my mother left me. Seeing it is like seeing my mother."
I can't guess how it will give me power. If I can't get any power, then perhaps that's my fate.
Shinsei replied with a smile, "A young girl shouldn't keep talking about fate. There's no such thing as an unchanging fate in this world. For example, right now, can you guess whether I'm going to move forward or backward?"
Shinsei stood up straight, waiting for Shion's reply.
The clever Shion understood Shinsei's meaning. No matter whether she guessed forward or backward, she would get the opposite answer.
Shinsei used this action to answer Shion's question about fate. Shion didn't have a good answer either. After thinking for a moment, she stopped worrying about the question and instead pressed her little face against Shinsei's shoulder.
"Thank you." Shion's voice was gentle, and she was in a much better mood than before.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted from the front, " Shinsei, you're falling behind! Let's have a race to see who reaches the top of the mountain first!"
Shinsei looked up at the distant mountains and sneered, " Naruto, don't think that just because I'm carrying someone on my back, you can race me!"
Naruto shouted provocatively, "Then let's go! Whoever loses buys ramen when they get home! One, two, three!"
After saying that, Naruto started running as fast as he could.
Shinsei dismissively said, "Childish." Then, carrying Shion on his back, he ran rapidly towards the distant mountain peak. Even with someone on his back, Shinsei, who considered himself the fastest Shinobi World, would not allow his dignity to be challenged.
He quickly overtook Naruto, and as he passed by, he couldn't help but flash a mocking smile.
The Naruto gritted his teeth in anger, patted his stomach, and shouted, " Nine-Tails, lend me your Chakra!"
After a short wait, Naruto showed no reaction. Meanwhile, Shinsei continued to widen the distance ahead.
Naruto said anxiously, " Nine-Tails, lend me your Chakra! I need to surpass Shinsei!"
Golden Chakra surged from Naruto's body, forming a golden tailcoat.
Naruto's speed instantly increased several times compared to before, and he quickly caught up with Shinsei.
Seeing Naruto's smug smile, Shinsei whispered to Shion on his back, "Hold on tight, I need to speed up."
Shion obediently hugged Shinsei's neck tightly, and white light appeared on Shinsei's body.
Sage Mode activated!
Because of Shion on his back, Shinsei couldn't use Lightning Release to stimulate his body cells, and could only use Senjutsu Chakra. Shinsei's Sage Mode greatly enhanced his speed, and he quickly caught up with Naruto.
Naruto yelled, seeing that Shinsei was about to overtake him, and hurriedly used his tails to grab the trees in front of him. The nine golden tails turned into nine huge claws, grabbing the trees in front of him and dragging Naruto forward.
Naruto laughed heartily. This was the first time he had used this method of traveling, and he hadn't expected it to be so effective, leaving Shinsei behind once again.
Seeing Naruto's smug face, Shinsei decided that since Naruto had chosen to use cheat codes, he wouldn't hold back either. With a powerful push from his feet, Shinsei's body Issen forward using a special technique.
" Body Flicker Technique!" The Body Flicker Technique that Shisui Uchiha had painstakingly researched was used by Shinsei to compete against Naruto. It's hard to say whether Shisui should be angry or happy when he finds out.
A long afterimage darted through the forest as Shinsei used the Body Flicker Technique to immediately leave Naruto behind.
As expected of Shisui's renowned Ninjutsu, Shinsei even had time to put Shion down from his back after reaching the summit.
"Ugh~" Shion covered her mouth, turned around, and started gagging.
"Uh..." Shinsei apologized somewhat sheepishly, "I'm very sorry, I forgot that ordinary people can't withstand this kind of speed."
While gagging, Shion stretched out her small hand and waved it at Shinsei to indicate that she didn't mind. Shinsei handed her a tissue and let Shion wipe her mouth.
Naruto rushed over, showing no sign of displeasure, and casually grabbed Shinsei, asking him about the Body Flicker Technique. Judging from his expression, he seemed very eager to learn this Ninjutsu.
Shinsei didn't really care; after all, he'd gotten this Body Flicker Technique for free.
He made it seem like he wouldn't go if he didn't teach him, and Shisui Uchiha, whose will had been altered, fell for it.
To complete the mission, Shisui passed on his unique Body Flicker Technique to Shinsei. So if Naruto and Sasuke wanted to learn it, he wouldn't mind, especially Sasuke.
If Shisui Uchiha had remained normal, the person he would most want to teach would probably be Sasuke.
Seeing Naruto's expectant eyes, Shinsei nodded and said, "I can pass it on to you, but you have to give me some of the Nine-Tails 'Chakra."
"Huh?" Naruto was a little confused, touching his hair. "Didn't you already have that Little Nine-Tails?"
"Don't worry about that, I have my own uses."
The Nine-Tails inside Naruto is the Yang Nine-Tails, while the one Shinsei is currently raising is the Yin Nine-Tails.
The two Nine-Tails 'Chakra is not quite the same. Shinsei wants to research higher quality Chakra, and he won't let go of either of the two types of Nine-Tails 'Chakra.
"Alright, but I need to ask Nine-Tails." Naruto said, then closed his eyes.
A moment later, he opened his eyes again and apologized to Shinsei, " The Nine-Tails disagreed, and it even insulted you."
Shinsei had an "I knew it" look on his face. The Nine-Tails inside Naruto didn't have a very good impression of Shinsei right now.
Moreover, given Shinsei's request, it's clear he wants more than just a Chakra.
Shinsei was unwilling to force the issue, as it would damage the relationship that Nine-Tails and Naruto had finally begun to build.
If taking a bit of Nine-Tails's Chakra causes Nine-Tails to develop a dislike for Naruto, then all the efforts he's made during this time will have been for nothing.
But it's alright, Shinsei will make a condition that Nine-Tails) can't refuse.
