LRAB Chapter 314 Control Seals
Chapter 314 Control Seals
Rain-Hidden Village.
"Mr. Kakuzu, our men are here."
Sarutobi Seishu brought Asuma, Ryunosuke, and several other outstanding young men from the Sarutobi clan to the office.
However, everyone was disguised, and Kakuzu couldn't tell who it was.
Kakuzu looked at Sarutobi Sekishu with a scrutinizing gaze.
Why is the Third Hokage in such a hurry? Has he reached a dead end?
Despite these thoughts running through his mind, Kakuzu remained enthusiastic towards his employer.
"Oh, it's perfect that Master Chankong is here. I'll take you to see him."
Jiao didn't exchange many pleasantries with them; it was Zenkū's turn to speak next.
He led the group up many stairs to the upper level of a tall tower.
This is an open terrace offering easy panoramic views of the entire Rain Lodge.
Zen Kong was meditating on the terrace, with his nine-ringed staff standing beside him.
“Master Zenkū, they have arrived,” Kakuzu said respectfully.
Zenku nodded, while Kakuzu withdrew.
Sarutobi Sekishu approached Zen Master Kū and inquired:
“Master Chankong, these are all our people. Which one do you think is suitable?”
Zenkō turned his head, and Asuma and the others also removed their disguises and stood there obediently to greet Zenkō.
"Greetings, Master Chankong."
"That monster called Nine-Tailed Fox is extremely violent, so we need to put you through some tests."
Sarutobi Seishu and the others understood and said, "Please ask the Master to conduct the assessment."
Zen Kong pointed to the ground beside him:
"Please sit down and sit quietly with this humble monk."
The group exchanged glances, realizing that the assessment had begun.
So they all followed suit and sat down next to Zen Kong.
Zenkong glanced at Shizhou: "You come too."
Shi Zhou had never considered becoming a Jinchūriki, so he was quite surprised.
However, since Zenkong had spoken, he had no choice but to sit down.
Zenkong twirled his prayer beads and closed his eyes.
Rainfall is very abundant in Amegakure Village; it rains frequently.
When the wind and rain blow outside onto the terrace, they get blown in and hit the group.
But Zenkong just sat there motionless for the entire afternoon.
He didn't care whether the Sarutobi clan members were twisting their bodies to resist the stiffness or running to the toilet.
Zen Kong didn't say a word.
Of these people, Asma was surprisingly able to sit still; except when he went to the toilet, he just sat there.
After all, they were ninjas, and their endurance was stronger than that of ordinary people.
However, they did not expect that after sitting in meditation for an entire afternoon, Zen Kong showed no intention of getting up, and kept fiddling with his prayer beads.
I sat there like that all night.
Around midnight, Zenku suddenly began chanting sutras in a low voice, as if he were massaging the ears of the Sarutobi clan.
In no time, most of the Sarutobi clan members were slumped over, and Ryunosuke even started snoring.
Asma, like a chick pecking at rice, also fell asleep several times.
The only one who was conscious was Sarutobi Sekishu.
After all, for someone who wants to carry out assassinations, stealth is a basic skill, even though the chanting of sutras by Zen Kong made his eyelids feel heavy.
But at least he persevered.
As an avatar of Qianyao, Zenkui's decision to have Sarutobi and the others sit in meditation wasn't entirely to torment them.
They were actually looking to see if there were any capable members of the Sarutobi clan.
If there is.
That would definitely be a disaster.
The next morning, Zen Kong waved his sleeve, and the nine-ringed tin staff beside him immediately began to clang.
All of the Sarutobi clan members regained consciousness.
They were all a little embarrassed, having said it was a test, but they all ended up falling asleep.
Zenku looked at Asuma and Sarutobi Seishu: "Everyone else, leave."
Everyone else looked at Sarutobi Seishu.
Sarutobi Sekishu was also speechless. Zenku had said there would be a test, but this group of people were taken down without any warning.
I just didn't expect that Asuma, who wasn't particularly outstanding before, would be the last one standing.
"You all go down and wait."
The Sarutobi clan members had no choice but to go down first.
Only Shizhou, Asima, and Zenku remained at the scene.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
Zenkong's staff began to tremble slowly.
With a series of ringing sounds, both Ishizu and Asuma felt the whole world was distorting.
One's own body also twists and turns as a result.
They were somewhat surprised, not expecting that Zenkong could use illusion magic.
With extensive experience from the entire Uchiha clan, Chiyo is also exceptional in genjutsu.
Using only the medium of sound, they managed to trap Ishizu and Asuma in an illusion.
He naturally recognized this stone boat as the one who led the ambush on the Uchiha clan and killed Danzo.
He was a little unsure where this person came from, because in the original timeline, the Sarutobi clan did not have such a powerful expert.
However, the existence of such a person is detrimental to Qianyao.
and so……
Shi Zhou suddenly regained consciousness, and was then covered in a cold sweat.
To think I fell for an illusion so easily, what if the other party had malicious intentions?
I figured I'd just die like this.
Zenku was still sitting in the same spot, while Asuma next to him had already fallen asleep.
Of all the people, you are the most suitable.
"Would you be willing to become the imprisoner of that monster?"
Zen Kong's voice was calm and unhurried, which soothed Shi Zhou's anxious heart.
The pressure on the Third Hokage is immense; it's not a question of whether he's willing or not.
The issue is now about finding a way out.
“Master Chankong, we had already made all the necessary arrangements before we came. Please feel free to proceed.”
Sarutobi Sekishu was definitely wary of outsiders, but even though Zenku dragged them into the illusion, he didn't do anything to them.
He was also much relieved.
Upon hearing Shi Zhou's words, Chan Kong nodded slightly, then with a seemingly slow but actually swift palm strike, he struck Shi Zhou.
Starting from the chest, the enormous runes expanded across the stone boat's body like a spider web.
Then it gradually disappeared into the background.
Although Sarutobi Seishu did not know the Four Symbols Seal, he had seen it before.
But the Four Symbols Seals he had seen before were all relatively simple; this was the first time he had ever seen one as complex as the one he saw today.
"This seal is complete. You can then use the power of magical beasts by following this seal."
Zenkui channeled some chakra into the center of the seal, and this chakra spread along the seal's runes to Shizhou's limbs.
At his signal, Shi Zhou waved his arm.
Gathering chakra is much faster than before.
It was as if Zenku had built another chakra transport channel within his body.
No one in the Sarutobi clan had ever served as a Jinchūriki, which was quite surprising.
"So that's how Jinchuriki use chakra."
Chiyo chuckled inwardly. This had nothing to do with Jinchuriki; it was just a control seal that Chiyo and Orochimaru had developed together.
Zen Kong said calmly, "Next, we need to draw and exchange magical beasts."
Sarutobi Sekishu bowed to Zenku: "We'll have to trouble you, Venerable Zenku, to make a trip to our Konoha."
Zen Kong picked up the nine-ringed staff: "It's alright, the imprisoned should not have been children in the first place."
