I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

[Attribute: Sand]

Ok?

What does "sand" mean in the context of sand-attribute chakra?

Does chakra also have the sand attribute?

[The Great Sage: Answer]

Unlike humans, tailed beasts are composed of chakra, and different tailed beasts possess different characteristics, giving them unique chakra attributes.

[It is speculated that Gaara, due to his special physique, acquired a portion of sand-attribute chakra, which, combined with the Sand Technique, enabled him to unleash power far exceeding that of previous Kazekage.]

Chapter 162 Calculating the Special Attributes of the White Vine Seal

The concept of chakra attributes is easy to understand.

Fire-attribute chakra can generate fire, and since other chakra types can generate fire, sand-attribute chakra can naturally generate sand.

But why does it have such a special chakra attribute?

[The Great Sage: Tailed Beasts are not true life forms. Living in certain special environments for a long time may directly cause changes in their chakra, generating chakra with special attributes.]

That means that because Shukaku spends most of his time in the desert, he may have acquired sand-attribute chakra.

Gaara possesses sand-attribute chakra, which is why he can control sand and even control large amounts of sand with the Kankansen.

[The Great Sage: That should be true]

Shigure's eyes flickered slightly; she didn't care what the sand-attribute chakra was like.

He was wondering if he could obtain ice or cloud chakra!

Thinking of this, Shigure's eyes began to light up.

[Great Sage: Analysis in progress]

[Analysis complete]

[It is speculated that to obtain chakra of a special attribute, one needs to calculate the characteristics of those 12 attributes.]

[Computational ability alone is insufficient; it can only simulate 80% of the characteristics, generating pseudo-special attribute chakra.]

'There's something you can't even do?'

This surprised Shiyu. He wouldn't have been surprised if the calculation took a long time, but he was astonished that it could only simulate 80%.

[Great Sage: It requires the Glutton's ability to devour and plunder the corresponding attribute to fully calculate special attributes.]

Go with the gluttons!

Tell me earlier!

Then there won't be any problems.

[The Great Sage: The Glutton's current abilities are insufficient to meet the requirements.]

The gluttons have only recovered 10% of their abilities, so it's normal that they haven't reached the required level.

"Just tell me! What level of recovery is needed from a bulimic to meet the requirements?"

[Great Sage: At least 50%]

Fifty percent is quite a lot!

'Hurry up and repair the Great Sage!'

Shi Yu sighed helplessly.

Watching as the Glutton continues to try and devour Shukaku's chakra.

However, the growth rate was so slow that Shiyu was somewhat helpless.

[Great Sage: I recommend that the host consume only five percent of the gluttonous creature's power. Given the glutton's current limited abilities, wasting too much time is pointless.]

This seems to suggest a disdain for gluttons.

However, Shigure nodded in agreement with the Great Sage's reminder. Wasting too much time was indeed pointless. Instead of absorbing a few percent more Tailed Beast Chakra here, it would be better to go to the Third Hokage and analyze the First Hokage's Wood Release!

Thinking of this, Shigure watched as the Glutton devoured his own One-Tailed Chakra, increasing it by one percent once more.

[One-Tailed Shukaku Chakra: 5%]

Okay, let's stop then!

The mysterious black substance was withdrawn, and Shigure looked at Shukaku in front of him!

"We need to find a way to control Shukaku now, otherwise it will cause too much damage to Konoha if it goes berserk!"

[Great Sage: I suggest the host add Magnet Release chakra and use a sealing technique to seal Shukaku.]

[Calculation in progress]

[Calculation complete. Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: White Vine Seal]

A new ninjutsu?

Not bad!

Shigure raised her hand to dispel the snow cloud, but the freezing effect did not completely disappear; Shukaku's body had long been frozen into an ice block.

However, as the snow cloud dissipated, the ice began to break apart rapidly.

After all, Shukaku has a large amount of chakra in its body, so freezing someone with a large amount of chakra is not realistic.

However, before the ice completely broke, Shigure immediately began to use a new ninjutsu.

White Vine Seal!

Suddenly, puffs of white smoke appeared around him, wrapping around Shukaku like vines and resembling chains.

However, it is not exactly the same chain; it is just a rough outline of the chain formed by clouds.

It then wrapped around Shukaku's head and limbs, especially his belly, which was wrapped by white vines to form a huge prototype with Magnet Release patterns appearing on it.

The patterns appeared and spread upwards towards the clouds, covering the chains.

Shi Yu paused for a moment upon seeing this.

'Cloud Release combined with Magnet Release... does this mean I've incorporated a new technique into Cloud Release, fusing three bloodline limits?'

[Great Sage: Host, you can understand this as a composite ninjutsu, a combination of Cloud Release and Magnet Release, not a fusion.]

Forehead!

Ok!

Even if it's about fusing a new bloodline limit, it can't be that simple!

Even so, it's still not bad.

This adds another sealing technique.

Now that Shukaku has been sealed, the smoke cage can be released as the surrounding smoke dissipates.

Shigure looked at Shukaku on the ground. Shukaku was now completely asleep, sealed away.

When the smoke cleared, the Konoha ninjas around looked at Shukaku lying on the ground, and the thick white chains binding his body.

It appears to be the same substance as the smoke from before.

"This is!"

Shigure: "I've temporarily sealed Shukaku with a sealing technique, so don't worry about it waking up. But if the seal is broken, it will still wake up!"

As he spoke, Shigure looked at the group of Konoha ninja and said, "You all stay here and watch over them. Make sure the seal isn't broken!"

Shigure spoke casually, but his words struck the ninjas like a thunderbolt.

Shukaku!

Tailed beast!

Sealed!

603 Although it is said to be a temporary seal.

But that's a sealed tailed beast!

Is it something that can be done easily?

Isn't this kid a genin? He even knows sealing techniques?

Moreover, what kind of sealing technique was used? It's so illogical! A chain formed from a smoke-like substance with strange patterns on it—how could it suppress such a terrifying existence as a tailed beast?

"Oh my! I never expected you, my little brat, to know sealing techniques!"

The familiar voice rang out again, and Shigure turned to look at Mei Terumi.

She followed me again. Is this woman determined to make things difficult for me?

"You've followed me. It seems you're determined to take me back to your Hidden Mist Village!"

Shigure assumed a fighting stance, ready to seal Mei Terumi this time with his sealing technique! Even if he didn't seal her, he could easily trap her with Cloud Release if he had the chance.

However, the next second Mei Terumi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's not fight! But even if you don't come to Kirigakure now, you will eventually come." With that, Mei Terumi turned around and waved her hand again!
