Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 14: Is the Mind-Body Disorder Technique Ineffective?

"How is that possible?"

As Yamanaka Kou looked at Li Yao with disbelief, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" The Third Generation stepped forward, frowning as he asked.

Yamanaka Kou turned around and stepped aside to the Third Hokage. He looked at Li Yao again as if he were looking at an incredible creature and exclaimed in surprise, "Hokage-sama, my chakra cannot invade his chakra to use the Mind Disruption Body - Memory Detection Technique."

"How is this possible?" The Third Generation was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yamanaka Kou, his face full of questions.

The Mind-Body Disorder Technique is a secret art that the Mountain Clan is proud of. Even he could fall for it if he wasn't careful. Now, he's being told that someone who can't resist it has managed to withstand the Mind-Body Disorder Technique.

How is that possible?

The disbelieving Third Hokage stepped forward, bringing his right index and middle fingers together to gather chakra and placing it on the back of Li Yao's neck. Instantly, dense black sealing technique patterns appeared on Li Yao's skin.

After confirming that the sealing technique on Li Yao was still in place, the Third Hokage's expression turned solemn, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"His chakra is sealed by the Four Symbols Sealing Technique."

The Four Symbols Sealing Technique is a powerful sealing technique capable of sealing the Nine-Tails' chakra. It can not only seal and imprison the soul, but also completely seal and imprison the chakra.

Once sealed by the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, the sealed person cannot mobilize any chakra within their body and can only be at the mercy of others.

In this situation, it's like someone whose hands and feet are tied up in one place, and you're asked to kill someone, but you say you can't kill them and are bounced back.

The third generation was very puzzled. He looked at Yamanaka Kou and wondered if the guy did it on purpose, but there was no reason for it.

The Yamanaka family had been on good terms with the Sarutobi clan since the Warring States period, and they were his most steadfast ally in securing his position as Hokage.

He even trusted the other party to reveal the secret of the immortality technique of soul possession, entrusting them with the task of reading relevant information.

This clearly demonstrates his trust in the mountain village of Jiayu.

There was no reason for Yamanaka Kao to deceive him.

However, the Third Hokage couldn't understand how someone who couldn't even mobilize a single bit of chakra could block the Mind Disruption Technique.

"Hokage-sama, I really didn't lie to you!"

Seeing the suspicious look in the third generation's eyes, Yamanaka Kou quickly explained the reason.

"Lord Hokage, this person's chakra has a very strong sense of self. Not only can it easily distinguish my chakra, but it also makes its own chakra like a seamless steel cable. My chakra is like water, and no matter how I try to penetrate it, it cannot get in."

"Unless..." Yamanaka Kaiu looked at the Third Hokage and tentatively asked, "Can he die?"

"He can't die." The Third Hokage immediately shook his head. This person couldn't die until the improved Spirit Transformation Technique was obtained.

"Then there's nothing I can do," Yamanaka Kou said, shaking his head.

The reason why their Yamanaka clan's Mind Disorder Technique is a secret technique is that other ninjas cannot learn it even if they see the hand seals.

The reason is that the Mind Disorder Body Technique is a secret technique that involves infiltrating the enemy's chakra with a special Mind Disorder Body Technique that one has condensed, thereby transferring the other person's consciousness to other animals or specific objects, and then invading the other person's body with one's own consciousness, thereby controlling the other person's body.

The key point is to condense a special mind-body manipulation technique chakra that can penetrate into the chakra of others.

Without this special Mind Disorder Technique chakra, even if one knows the ninjutsu hand seals for the Mind Disorder Technique, one cannot activate it.

This demonstrates the unique nature of the chakra in the Mind Disruption Technique.

Its special feature lies in its powerful permeability.

The Mind-Body Disorder Technique allows chakra to flow into the enemy's brain along with their chakra, thereby reading their memories.

This is the origin of the Mind Disorders the Body - Memory Exploration Technique.

Of course, if it's a dead person, it's even simpler and more direct. You can directly use the chakra of the Mind Disruption Technique to invade the dead person's brain and read the remaining memories in their brain.

This is also the reason why Yamanaka Kou asked the third generation if his goal was to die.

But he didn't know that the child in front of him had been possessed by someone using a spirit transformation technique; the third generation hadn't told him.

If Kimura Yo hadn't died and the soul of the person who possessed his body hadn't dissipated, then even if one read Kimura Yo's brain memories, they would only get Kimura Yo's memories, and wouldn't get the memories of the person who possessed his body.

Only if Kimura Yo is alive can he read the possessed person's memories by infiltrating their chakra.

Therefore, Kimura Yoh must live.

However, to ensure that the enemy's memories are read without killing them, one can only penetrate the enemy's chakra, not directly and forcibly penetrate the enemy's brain.

Otherwise, doing so would conflict with the enemy's chakra.

The result is that the enemy's head will be mashed up like tofu before they die.

The problem now is that the target's chakra has too strong a sense of self. Before Yamanaka Kai's chakra could even penetrate it, it was thrown out by the target's chakra.

The key issue is that he still has no solution.

He could sense that the target's chakra had come alive, possessing a strong sense of self, and could clearly perceive his chakra intrusion.

In this way, he would be unable to use his technique of disrupting the mind and body.

It can be said that this person is the natural enemy of their mountain tribe, as he is immune to techniques that disrupt the mind and body.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed through Yamanaka Kou's mind.

"People like that... are too dangerous."

"We must find out how he managed to give his chakra such a strong sense of self."

Yamanaka Kou thought to himself.

After Yamanaka Kou explained it to the third generation, he believed it, but there were still too many questions in his mind.

Does chakra possess a strong sense of self?

How did you do that?

Chakra with a strong sense of self possesses various wondrous abilities, such as being able to instinctively resist the Mind Disruption Technique of an elite Jonin from the Yamanaka clan even when chakra is imprisoned.

Could this be the secret to his ability to maintain a high speed of chakra accumulation?

However... through special means, it is possible to condense a portion of chakra into a chakra clone, which has its own independent consciousness.

But that's just one application of the Shadow Clone Technique.

Moreover, it requires a large amount of chakra to be gathered.

As Jia Yu said, each portion of the chakra within the target's body possesses a strong sense of self.

Only in this way can one sense and block the chakra infiltration of the Mind Disruption Technique.

But how could a human possibly do that?

Could it be that the improved Spirit Transformation Technique greatly enhanced the soul, allowing each wisp of chakra to possess a strong sense of self?

Perhaps that is indeed the case.

As he was thinking, the third generation's eyes suddenly lit up.

Why did ninjas who used spirit possession techniques to seize other people's bodies during the Warring States period never live past a year?

It is because after possession, the soul and body are not adapted, and in the process of adaptation, the soul will be greatly worn down and consumed.

As a result, every ninja who uses the Spirit Transformation Technique to possess another person's body and be reborn will eventually die within a year due to excessive wear and tear on their soul during the adaptation period.

However, if the improved spiritification technique can greatly enhance the spiritification intensity, making the soul wear and tear during the adaptation period after possession insignificant or even stronger, then there would be no need to worry about soul wear and tear and thus not live long after possession.

Furthermore, because the improved spiritualization technique can continue to strengthen the soul, it can continuously possess and be reborn, thereby achieving true immortality.

That's right!

That should be it!

The more he thought about it, the more he believed he had discovered the secret of the powerful figure who had secretly possessed Kimura Yo.

He had to get his hands on this secret.

Thinking of this, the Third Generation said to Yamanaka Kō, "Kō, try using illusion magic to lure him."
