Chapter 533 The Rules of Survival: The Weak Must Constantly Try to Understand the Minds of the Strong and Pray for Mercy in Their Survival Space

"This is where the Seven-Tails is sealed, Lord Sakamoto, please be careful."

At an altar, Kang Ding watched the twisting, surging sealing spells, his heart pounding with each spell. He even considered arranging for someone to reinforce the seals, but...

Seeing the faint excitement on Tatsuma's face, Kosei gave up the idea. After all, who knew if doing so would inexplicably anger Tatsuma?

"Your sealing techniques are very interesting, unlike the several styles popular in the ninja world."

Chenma spoke without a clear conclusion, instead becoming engrossed in observing the spell. Kang Cheng frowned and pondered for a moment before asking uncertainly:

"Then, Lord Sakamoto, why don't you take some time to visit and provide guidance on the sealing techniques of Takigakure Village?"

Such is the rule of survival: the weak must constantly try to understand the intentions of the strong and beg for their living space.

Therefore, even a casual remark from Tatsuma would require Kang Cheng to ponder repeatedly before making a decision that might even harm himself, all to satisfy the "stronger" leader.

Chenma did not answer, because he really had no other intention, and at this moment he was too lazy to distract himself from dealing with Kang Cheng. Although [Divine Strategist] gave him the ability to multitask, having the ability does not necessarily mean he has to use it.

If an ability constantly displays its presence, then it must be "out of control." Just like when Tatsuma first obtained the [Divine Machine], his mind could hardly stop, but after so many years, it is now very controllable.

He can even use "multi-threading" to focus on tackling a single problem, just like now, when he is concentrating all his attention on the sealing formula of Takigakure Village to improve the efficiency of his understanding.

Kang Cheng stared at Tatsuma expectantly, waiting for his response, but Tatsuma remained silent, which made Kang Cheng somewhat uneasy.

"Our teacher is very busy. You can teach us the sealing technique, and when he has time, he might be able to give you some guidance."

Finally, Shisui took the initiative to speak up and made a decision for his teacher. He figured that, given his teacher's personality, he wouldn't refuse such a benefit offered to him.

As for guidance or anything like that, even a child like him could tell that it was a very flexible condition. Whether Tatsuma gave guidance or not, Takigakure Village wouldn't dare to say anything.

Even if Tatsuma really did provide guidance, whether Takigakure would dare to believe it, whether they would accept it, and whether they would actually accept it were all very difficult questions. Therefore, they accepted the benefits first and would discuss the rest later.

Hearing Shisui's words, Yasumoto was initially somewhat unhappy. After all, he feared Tatsuma, but that didn't mean he feared this young genin. However, this child called Tatsuma-sensei.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Shisui, Uchiha Shisui."

Shisui repeated his name, and Yasunari nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, young Shisui, to pass on our Takigakure village's sealing techniques to Lord Sakamoto."

Shisui didn't quite like the way he addressed Kang Cheng. After all, he was a ninja, and no matter how young he was, he was still a ninja. Using the word "child" was too disrespectful.

However, he wouldn't let his own preferences interfere with his teacher's progress, so he silently watched as Yasunari ordered the Takigakure ninja who had come with him to retrieve a copy of the sealing technique from Takigakure.

While waiting, Shisui and Kang Cheng both focused intently on Tatsuma, while Tatsuma focused intently on the sealing technique.

He said that the sealing techniques of Takigakure were very interesting, and he was being sincere because he had studied almost all the mainstream sealing techniques in the ninja world.

There are only a few mainstream styles. One is the sealing technique of the vortex, which is also the sealing technique that Tatsuma first came into contact with, learned and mastered the most. The sealing techniques circulating in Konoha are almost derived from the sealing techniques of the vortex.

To say it was a complete transformation would be an exaggeration. Apart from a few sealing techniques, the other sealing techniques were brought by Mito Uzumaki from the Uzumaki clan. However, based on the needs of Konoha, Mito Uzumaki modified them into a new system.

Later generations only made minor modifications or specialized developments to this system, but its core is still the Vortex Sealing Technique.

Besides the Whirlpool Sealing Technique, the Magnet Release Sealing Technique of Sunagakure is also very interesting. Of course, the interesting part is not because it is "strong", but because the Magnet Release Sealing Technique of Sunagakure was transplanted from Shukaku.

Therefore, while the Magnet Release sealing technique of Sunagakure is very effective against other enemies, it would be a different story if someone wanted to seal Shukaku.

Of course, Shamon, Monzaemon, Chiyo, and others were also pursuing another path, namely puppet sealing techniques. However, due to their short development time and the fact that they focused on puppets with sealing as a secondary technique, their progress was only average.

Besides Konoha and Sunagakure, Kumogakure's sealing techniques are also quite interesting. Although he has only seen them twice, Tatsuma is certain that the legendary Six Paths Ninja Tool, Amber Purification Bottle, provided a lot of inspiration for Kumogakure's sealing techniques.

However, the transplantation and development of the Cloud Ninja technique was too rough and careless. It wasn't until the new Iron Seal on Killer Bee that it became somewhat meaningful. However, it is clear that the new Iron Seal contains a large number of traces of the Whirlpool Sealing Technique.

This is one of the reasons, or rather an important reason, why other countries besieged the Land of Whirlpools back then. Apart from Konoha, which was strongly bound to the Uzumaki clan, other major powers did not have a complete sealing technique system.

The Uzumaki clan could not cooperate with other ninja villages as they had with Konoha, which is why they brought about this calamity.

As for Iwagakure and Kirigakure, their sealing techniques are nothing to brag about; they're the kind that Tatsuma could see through at a glance and then criticize.

The sealing technique of Takigakure, a small ninja village, gave Tatsuma a pleasant surprise. He didn't know about other sealing techniques, but the one that sealed the Seven-Tails had a living feel to it.

The surge of the technique was not only the Seven-Tails struggling, but also the technique itself "stitching up". Breaking this sealing technique was not difficult for Tatsuma, and he was not researching how to break it.

Rather, it is this method that is appreciated. After all, the sealing techniques of the past all involved drawing a stable sealing formula to imprison the sealed person. Breaking the seal is like breaking through a wall.

Once a wall is broken, the sealing technique will lose its effect. Of course, with Tatsuma's mastery of sealing techniques, he can repair the sealing technique at any time, but it is he who is repairing it, not the technique itself.

The sealing techniques of Takigakure are like repairing a jutsu. Once the technique is complete, the process of "repairing" will not stop as long as chakra is poured in.

It wasn't a prison cell, but rather more like some kind of fluid. Suddenly, Tatsuma had a flash of inspiration and thought of a secret technique from Takigakure Village: Earth Grudge Fear.

Unfortunately, the Earth Grudge Feast has been taken away by Kakuzu, and it seems that there is no longer any Earth Grudge Feast inheritance in Takigakure Village. With a look of regret, Tatsuma also broke out of his focused state.

"Keep your distance, Shisui, Tongling Dingchun, it can protect you."

Tatsuma told Shisui and the others that although Sadaharu was a ninja cat given to him by Fugaku, Tatsuma didn't need such a ninja cat. Since Sadaharu was also willing, he had Shisui sign a summoning contract with it.

"Okay, teacher!"

Shisui put the scroll in his hand into his large bag, then pricked his finger and began to form hand seals.

"Ninja Art! Summoning Jutsu!"

"Bang!"

A cloud of smoke exploded, followed by a white snowball, which waddled out of the smoke with cat-like steps and a swaying, rounded waist. Sadaharu's physique had already deviated from people's preconceived notions of cats.

Cats are generally 40-60 centimeters long, and some wild cats are even smaller due to stunted growth. But Dingchun's body length has exceeded one meter, and with the shape of a gas cylinder, it looks even more robust than Shisui.

Moreover, its fur is exceptionally long; the fur on its chest and abdomen almost brushes the ground. One reason why Tatsuma doesn't like Sadaharu is that it likes to sleep on people's stomachs or heads.

It was alright when I was a child, but now, I either feel suffocated or experience sleep paralysis, and I get covered in hair, which is something Chenma finds hard to tolerate.

After Sadaharu appeared, Shisui retreated to a relatively safe area. So it only took a few steps to reach Shisui's feet, where it lay down on the grass, looking like a round Simmons mattress.

Raising its powerful forelegs and licking the bits of grass clinging to its paws, Sadaharu placed them on Shisui's knees. Shisui said apologetically, "Sorry, Sadaharu, I didn't bring your snacks with me this time."

Upon hearing this, Dingchun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. As he lowered his forelimbs, his claws shot out, catching a few loose threads on Zhishui's trousers before he slowly stretched.

Its feather-dust-like tail slapped the grass as it looked in Tatsuma's direction. Although Sadaharu didn't say anything, Tatsuma surprisingly understood its meaning: urging him to finish quickly.

Tatsuma shrugged, then turned to look at the sealing technique. He went to the center of the altar, and as he formed hand seals, the complex sealing technique was completed. Then, Tatsuma slammed the seal onto the altar.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

The sealing technique surged even more violently, like water that never stops boiling. Kang Cheng and the others became extremely nervous. As for Shisui, he had grown up listening to the story of Tatsuma subduing the tailed beasts, so he wasn't particularly afraid.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Suddenly, a sound like a tractor engine starting up rang out, or like fan blades rapidly striking the air, and the surrounding Taki ninja unconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.

At this moment, Dingchun also stood up, protecting Shisui in front of him, with his limbs upright, his waist arched, and his snow-white long hair standing on end.

Under the sealing spell, a giant beetle emerged, with a dark blue body, three pairs of wings with yellow-green tails and orange-red tips, and a tail. This was the Seven-Tailed Beetle.

"Your chakra pressure is no less than that of the other tailed beasts. I really can't understand why others have such a low opinion of you. But it doesn't matter, you will receive the same treatment as the other tailed beasts, which is to be defeated by me."
