Chapter 854 : A Hidden Danger!
🕑 Added 2025-01-19 20:57:48 +0000 UTCIn the ninja world, there were various techniques of absorbing foreign chakra. The Rinnegan could absorb any chakra, tools like Samehada could assist in absorbing it, the Dark Release Kekkei Genkai did something similar and there were even some weaker ninjas like Yoroi who had their own methods.
However, all these abilities only absorbed the chakra temporarily. Once they used that chakra, it'd be gone from their bodies forever. Even if they didn't use it, they couldn't hold the chakra for a long time. Their chakra reserves wouldn't increase due to it.
What Fujin was trying with the Myriad Tetragram Seal was quite unique. Even though he was inspired by Minato's seal, it wasn't the same. Minato's seal achieved what it did over several years at a slow but steady rate. In addition, it needed Kurama's cooperation, even though he cooperated due to being fooled by Minato.
Fujin's plan was to forcefully refine chakra and permanently make it a part of his body. It couldn't be done with any chakra. Heck, Fujin couldn't even use the chakra in his artificial chakra lake to achieve this. He could only use the chakra of a Tailed Beast or similar entities whose chakra perpetually regenerated due to nature.
Of course, such chakras couldn't be absorbed directly either. If he did, Fujin would be affected by the same drawbacks and backlashes like the Jinchurikis. And, those changes could be permanent too. Fujin didn't want to be wild and out of control like imperfect Jinchurikis. The role of the sphere within the Myriad Tetragram Seal was crucial here.
It first suppressed any chakra or beast sealed within it. The next step was to extract the chakra little by little and eliminate the influence of any being over it, making it unaffiliated with its original owner. The third step was to transform the extracted chakra and not only make it compatible with Fujin, but also make it easy for the chakra to assimilate into Fujin's body.
It was a rather complicated process consisting of several crucial steps. Since he couldn't actually test this particular feature on normal bandits or rogue ninjas, Fujin didn't entirely understand it either. However, Fujin didn't expect he would face a hurdle at the very first step.
Even so, Fujin wasn't panicking despite Shukaku's chakra gaining the upper hand. For starters, irrespective of whether the sphere could refine the chakra, Shukaku's chakra had no chance of breaking through the barrier. Even if Shukaku was present, it would have no chance of escaping. The barrier was just too sturdy.
Secondly, expecting a mere seal to completely absorb a Tailed Beast's chakra was simply foolish. As magical as Fuinjutsu was, even it had its limits. Otherwise, the Uzumaki clan wouldn't have been destroyed and Jashin could have taken over the world. Fujin could control the sphere and the refinement himself. That was the true essence of the Myriad Tetragram Seal.
A confrontation between Fujin and the Tailed Beast where Fujin would be aided by the seal and the artificial chakra reserves to forcefully refine a Tailed Beast's chakra. It wasn't a gentle or delicate process like Minato's modifications on the Eight Trigram Divination Seal he used to seal half of Nine Tails inside Naruto. There were no tricks, no baits but a direct confrontation.
If one had to derive a similarity, it would be somewhat similar to Naruto and Kushina confronting Kurama to steal a small part of his chakra. Of course, Fujin had no sealing chains that suppressed Tailed Beasts. Instead, he entirely depended on his will, strength, artificial chakra reserves and the sphere.
As such, Shukaku's chakra resisting the sphere didn't pose any threat to Fujin. It was just that Fujin didn't expect a non-sentient chakra to force him to take action. That said, the bigger worry was something else.
Fujin observed, ‘No matter how strong the chakra sealed in the sphere is, no light should be emitted. The sphere seals off everything. Only I should be able to see what's happening inside because this is in my inner world.
The light that the sphere emits isn't directly due to Shukaku's chakra. No, the light is a product of the struggle between the sphere and the chakra. If that was all, I wouldn't care. Unfortunately, the light seems to have a destructive impact on my inner world. It's almost as if it is trying to decay or erode my inner world.
Sigh, I didn't expect such a hidden danger. Luckily, this light isn't too destructive. The erosion is almost non-existent. If I wasn't connected to it, I wouldn't have even felt it. At its current rate, it might take a million years to merely show signs of erosion, let alone destroy my inner world.
However, I need to be careful while dealing with actual Tailed Beasts. I won't be as simple as I thought it would be… The light their struggle would produce will be much more intense. I can't say for sure how much of an impact it'll cause on my inner world.
Even though I have some failsafes, like simply throwing the Tailed Beast out of the seal and my body since I'm not exactly a Jinchuriki, it'll be such a waste if I have to resort to that.’
Fujin's Myriad Tetragram Seal was different from typical sealing techniques. In normal sealing techniques, the Tailed Beast would be directly sealed inside the Jinchuriki's inner world. Their chakras would be connected with each other and so would their lives.
However, the sphere inside Fujin's inner world was like an entirely different space in itself. If he sealed a Tailed Beast inside the sphere, he wouldn't be connected with the Tailed Beast, nor would the Tailed Beast be connected with it.
Fujin couldn't borrow the Tailed Beast's chakra like other Jinchurikis nor transform into the Tailed Beast unless he sealed the Tailed Beast outside the sphere. Similarly, if Fujin were to die, the Tailed Beast sealed inside the sphere wouldn't die. Instead, it'd be released.
As such, his life wasn't in danger. However, the hidden dangers alerted Fujin and made him far more cautious. He wasn't entirely sure what would happen if his inner world were to be destroyed. If it was merely losing the artificial chakra reserves, Fujin wouldn't mind risking it if the rewards were sufficiently high. However, if the damage extended beyond his inner world, Fujin cared deeply.
Fujin thought, ‘Now that I think about it, I never destroyed anyone's inner world… I should test it out to see what effects it has on the person. Perhaps I should create a weaker variant of the Myriad Tetragram Seal where the sphere is easier to destroy so that I can study its effects as well. That said…’
Fujin sighed. His army had done a number on the bandits and rogue ninjas in the Land of Fire. Finding new experimental subjects wouldn't be easy. Fujin decided, ‘Oh well, some other country can thank me. I'll take payments from their nobles later with a miniscule interest. For now, it's time to refine Shukaku's chakra!’
Fujin began floating in his inner world. The chakra in the artificial lake became chaotic for a moment before completely calming down and becoming still. Fujin sat in a meditative posture while floating a few feet above the center of the lake, his eyes completely fixed on the sphere floating right above him. Slowly, he closed his eyes as his consciousness as he took complete control over the sphere.
Shukaku's chakra, which had begun wreaking havoc inside the sphere, suddenly calmed down as the pressure on it increased ten-fold! The chakra was easily suppressed. However, its ferocity only increased as it fought back against Fujin's will!
——
The Sun had long set, yet sounds of shurikens hitting their targets and the rhythmic thuds of punches against wooden dummies were heard from a training ground not far from the new Uchiha clan compounds. Sasuke stood alone, his shirt drenched in chest and his breathing rough. His Sharingans glowed faintly as he continued practicing his forms, remembering his vow to kill Itachi.
Not too far away, four figures sat stealthily in nearby trees. Sasuke hadn't noticed their presence. Yet, they looked at him and nodded in admiration.
One of them, wearing a bird mask, muttered, “His resolve and determination is extraordinary. He's completely out of stamina and yet is training at this intensity.”
The Anbu ninja next to him nodded, “It's truly a sight to see. At least in terms of strength, the next clan leader of the Uchiha clan may not be much weaker than his predecessors. This is good for the vill…”
He suddenly croaked, though no voice escaped his lips. His partner immediately turned his head. To his shock, a kunai appeared from his throat. His eyes moved, noticing someone had pierced the back of his comrade's neck. Before his body could react, he was beheaded as well!

nah they were extreme. At worst it's complete incompetence on the 3rds part. Even going back on it now, every terrible thing under his reign were completely avoidable, only reason kishi didn't delve too much into the details of all that happened under the 3rd was because it completely ruins the 3rds legacy. This story doesn't even fully explore and detail most these incidents, just brush past it and try to not make the 3rd look too bad. Sakumo, hyuga, Uchiha, Naruto neglect. Even Houdini can't get out of this shit. Yes hyuga was still terrible in that the village gave up a clan leader to please the enemy who committed wrong. Yes, avoiding a war is important but to give up a "clan leader" is ridiculous. The village had Hiruzen, Danzo, The Uchiha, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Guy at the time. More than enough as a deterrent.

Gives him access to darkness release too

90% sure hex won't go that route

I hope so because that would probably the best beast to seal inside him as I believe that has the best regeneration powers
shrekk
Can he refine zero tail?
Jack Nathaniel Mikhail
Thank you so much for the chapter DH sama 😀
Jack Nathaniel Mikhail
Maybe build a chakra construct using yin-yang chakra. The chakra construct can then be used to develop the shadow clone jutsu further into creating a permanent avatar/incarnation, one that can grow independently from his main body
Kwabena Kumi
Making his own bijuu?...is that even possible?..its a cool idea but is it?
Rubén López
The subject was hardly ever so extreme, especially since they had to do everything when the third couldn't answer anything, and the efforts were always emphasized. But the way they narrate many things is simply to cover up that the Uchiha massacre went from being something horrible with a certain mystery but not with such a sharp turn, like the one that implies praising Itachi even though he feels he did things wrong. The Hyuga incident, like many things in Naruto, sought to be a tragic background that didn't reach too many implications because it wasn't the focus of the story that was handled in Naruto. Now in this story things change, being the mistakes and faults of the 4 elders more detailed, Hiruzen with his weakness for his former companions, Danzo for his extremism, and Homura and Koharu with their self-fulfilling prophecy and negligence towards Danzo. Because in these things Danzo acts quite independently, watched from afar by the third.

Obito?

Thanks
Slade
if it is danzo or orochimaru will something actually happen this time? Orochimaru seems to only be alive just cause, and danzo serves no purpose now, never did for a long time tbh. Fujin is a much worse threat than danzo, doubt anyone will attack if danzo is taken care off. Also you should expose danzo at some point, probably use him to give Sasuke an arc and character development. Sure it'll expose some of the elders and the 3rd but they really dropped the ball and never took accountability in any way, even sakumo is forgotten, the missing senju, downfall of whirlpool, death of Nejis dad for a stupid reason, neglect of Naruto. In general they just get off with all the bs they did or didn't do, might as well expose it then use it to develop other characters and potential new storylines.

While it would be very unlikely it would be interesting if it is Akuro
kash_kxng
Probably Orichimaru. Remember Itachi came to the village to warn the elders not to fuck around after suna's attack and that Orichimaru lost most of his subordinates and his summons with no forseable hope of healing his arms.
Rubén López
Sasuke and Naruto are currently a safe bet for Fujin, he wants them happy and strong. He smells like Danzo, he's one of those villains who was left to be an internal enemy that could be tough for the shinobi world. My guess is that maybe he wants to try something like what happens with Tsunade's Tsukoyomi filler, but I suppose that this Danzo will be one of the most brutal of all the fics, without falling into caricature.

Hmm, Shukaku's chakra is naturally aligned towards magnet release right? I wonder if Fujin's talent with wind and earth release will increase after all the chakra has been assimilated.
Mr Falcon
I hope danzo does come back so that we can observe Fujin knocking him back in his rat hole 💜
Smitty
Danzo helping orochi probably
Mohammed Sheekh
Definitely danzo

While he can't use his lake chakra to upgrade his chakra reserves, in the future he might find a way to make tailed beast. So he can make an industry of bijus 💀💀💀. Fujin's chakra lake-> new biju ->eat biju chakra with the myriad tetragram seal.
Kelevra
I’d say based on Fujins thought patterns he definitely intends to keep sealing different beasts chakra inside him to increase his reserves, but with this refinement method he uses he probably won’t get acces to the extra abilities like Naruto had unless he saves a small part of each and become a true pseudo jinchuriki
Hibrael Pereira
Thanks for the chapter
Kelevra
Oh yeah that could be a possibility, also, the removal of the elders might have “forced” him to make some moves together with Orochimaru. He might have pierced together the reason for the dismissal
Kelevra
Hmm, orochimaru maybe at the end?
Yamir
Just when my subscription ends 💀💀💀
Mersh
Wowowowowowow someone attacking in the village???!!!? Not many options. Gotta be Orochimaru, right? Or Fujin making trouble.
