The Ordinary Life of a Clear-Ryu Ninja Chapter 697

“I plan to temporarily bring this child to Konoha and help him thoroughly cleanse the dangerous chakra within him. Master, as you can see, your temple lacks the ability to suppress it. Please allow Konoha to try.”

After listening, Jiriku looked at Touji with a hesitant expression, but after some thought, he finally sighed softly and nodded, “Then I shall trouble Kazematsuri-Jonin.” Jiriku pressed his palms together and stepped aside.

Touji said no more, directly scooped Sora into his arms, used the Body Flicker Technique, and vanished into the night.

Back in Konoha, Touji headed straight for the Anbu Surveillance Department base. After settling Sora in a private room and calling someone to guard him, he rushed non-stop to the Hokage’s office.

At this time, the smell of instant noodles still lingered in the Hokage’s office. Jiraiya was sprawled on his desk, frowning at a pile of documents. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Touji, waving a weary hand, “Touji, what’s the rush? Oh, right, you just came from the Fire Temple. Tell me about it.”

Touji didn’t beat around the bush and directly explained Sora’s situation, finally saying, “The Nine-Tails chakra on Sora is suppressed by the Five Elements Seal. Only you in the village know the Five Elements Seal. I’d like to ask for your help in extracting that Nine-Tails chakra.”

“It seems there are many who want to use Tailed Beasts,” Jiraiya lamented, then, as if just realizing Touji’s last request, he suddenly pulled a long face and waved his hand, “Touji, look at this mountain of documents I have to deal with; how can I have time for this? How about this, I’ll give you the Five Elements Seal scroll, and you handle it yourself.”

With that, Jiraiya pulled out a scroll and tossed it to Touji. Touji caught it, saying somewhat helplessly, “If we only use the Five Elements Seal to seal the Nine-Tails chakra into a scroll, there’s still a risk of leakage.”

Jiraiya thought for a moment. “That’s true.” He pulled out another scroll and threw it to Touji. “Then take this Four Symbols Seal scroll as well. You can research the Eight Trigrams Seal yourself. I remember the Eight Trigrams Seal is a double Four Symbols Seal. Naruto hasn’t gone berserk to this day, so it should be quite effective.”

Touji took the scrolls, feeling a bit emotional—Jiraiya truly trusted him, unlike the Third Hokage, who used him but also guarded against him.

He bid farewell to Jiraiya and returned to the Anbu Surveillance Department base, immediately beginning to study the Five Elements Seal and Four Symbols Seal scrolls. With his profound foundation in sealing jutsu, Touji had learned the Five Elements Seal and its corresponding unsealing method before dawn, and had roughly researched an upgraded version of the Four Symbols Seal—the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Afterward, Touji went to Sora’s room and performed the Unsealing Jutsu: Five Elements Unseal, releasing the Five Elements Seal on Sora. A violent chakra surged from Sora’s body; one could directly see the bizarre red energy mass swirling and churning. Sora suddenly awoke, screaming and wailing.

“Hold on, it’ll only hurt for a bit.” As he spoke, Touji felt his own body stir with an “emotion” of its own. A primal greedy desire at the bottom of his heart influenced his mind, making him intensely want to absorb this Nine-Tails chakra.

Touji bit his tongue hard, suppressing the interfering emotions from the White Zetsu genes, and quickly unfolded a specially made sealing scroll for storing chakra, guiding the Nine-Tails chakra into it. Immediately after, he performed the Eight Trigrams Seal on this scroll.

As the black runes contracted and formed, the Eight Trigrams Seal technique suppressed the Nine-Tails chakra.

Sora, completely drained of the Nine-Tails chakra, immediately quieted down.

Touji checked Sora’s breathing. “As long as he’s alive.”
