Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 161 Knowing Everything

"Alright, you can go now."

"White Zetsu will notify you if there are any missions."

After giving his instructions, Madara had White Zetsu kick Li Yao out.

Li Yao was happy with this arrangement; he didn't want to stay in the secret room with an old man who could kill him at any moment.

Upon arriving outside, Li Yao learned from Bai Jue that it was now a year after he had fallen into a coma.

"Remember, not a single piece of information about Lord Madara must be revealed."

Before parting, Bai Jue looked at Li Yao and solemnly reminded him.

"clear."

Li Yao laughed, and then, seeing that Bai Jue was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Jue, "Did that girl from the Vortex Clan inside the barrier die back then?"

Gui Mo was sealed by the Four Symbols to save him and the married woman Ayase, and no one knows what happened to her daughter, Xiao Yezi.

"He's not dead." Bai Jue shook his head.

"Where is she? How is she doing?" Li Yao continued to ask.

If he's doing well, he won't bother him.

After all, it's not necessarily safe to stay by his side.

White Zetsu continued to shake his head, saying, "She was taken away by the Third Raikage. I don't know her current situation, but I imagine she's not doing well."

Not long after the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, unleashed his ultimate technique, Dust Release: Limit Separation, the Four Red Yang Formation barrier dissipated.

Little Leaf escaped immediately.

Unfortunately, he ended up going in the same direction as the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage, who was looking for a high-level sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan, was naturally not going to let go of Little Leaf, a member of the Uzumaki clan, and immediately kidnapped her.

"Are you going to Kumogakure to rescue that girl?" White Zetsu asked.

"Hmm." Li Yao nodded. After all, Gui Mo had saved his life, and her daughter, Xiao Yezi, was still alive. He certainly couldn't just abandon her. Even if she were dead, he would still help her get revenge.

"You'd better not make too much noise and let the enemy think of Lord Madara's existence," White Zetsu warned.

He felt that Li Yao had an unusual ability to cause trouble.

But Madara needs to lie low right now, and his Rinnegan hasn't been nurtured to maturity yet.

Everything takes time, and he didn't want too many things to go beyond the plan.

"Don't worry, I've always kept a low profile..." Li Yao said, then suddenly frowned slightly and glanced at Bai Jue thoughtfully.

In Kato Dan's memory... it seems that it wasn't someone from Konoha who found him back then!

"You know that much is good." Bai Jue said, then sank into the ground.

Li Yao stared at the ground where Bai Jue had disappeared, his expression gradually turning grim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

In terms of chakra perception, after White Zetsu completely disappeared into the ground, no trace of Wood Release chakra could be sensed from White Zetsu anymore, as if White Zetsu had become a part of the earth.

Even with soul perception, one cannot sense any soul aura emanating from Bai Jue.

"bump!"

Li Yao's face was grim. With a thought, he condensed clay chakra into a large white bird. After injecting Explosion Release chakra, the white bird flapped its wings and carried Li Yao to an altitude of eight thousand meters.

"At this height, that White Zetsu guy shouldn't be able to sense it anymore."

"Grass!"

Standing on the back of the clay bird, Li Yao couldn't help but swear. His face was a mix of emotions. He had always thought that it was people from Konoha who had found him, but he never expected that all of this might have been orchestrated by Uchiha Madara from beginning to end.

It feels really bad to have your life controlled by others.

But the feeling of having your fate manipulated is even more unpleasant.

Grass!

"What exactly did Madara do to me?"

After cursing under his breath, Li Yao began to examine his body. He figured that the Uchiha chakra fluctuations emanating from his chakra shouldn't be enough to control his chakra.

Otherwise, he would have been able to control the chakra within the little life inside the married woman Ayase.

Therefore, Madara must have left other methods to assist him.

What hand...etc.

Li Yao suddenly thought of Obito, and then carefully sensed his heart.

"My heart was definitely sealed with the same forbidden curse as Obito's by Madara Uchiha, a forbidden curse that could kill me in a critical moment."

Li Yao thought to himself, but no matter how he tried to sense it, he couldn't find anything wrong with his heart, nor could he sense any abnormal chakra.

If this had happened before, Li Yao might have thought there was nothing wrong with him. But after witnessing firsthand how White Zetsu disappeared from his chakra perception, Li Yao understood that he couldn't sense it because Madara's methods were too sophisticated.

"It should be... a forbidden chakra spell at the Six Paths level."

Thinking of the enormous demonic statue of the Outer Path in the secret chamber, Li Yao vaguely came to a conclusion: only a forbidden spell cast by Six Paths level chakra could nullify his chakra perception.

White Zetsu is, in a sense, a life form created by Yin-Yang Release at the Six Paths level, and its ability to transform into nature should also be a special ability at the Six Paths level.

With Li Yao's current strength, he obviously cannot sense the chakra of Six Paths level ninjutsu.

"I never imagined Madara could use abilities at the Six Paths level!"

Li Yao frowned slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it made sense.

In the original work, it's either Madara or Obito.

They control the Six Paths level of bloodline limit chakra, which is based on the Rinnegan and the chakra fused from the nine tailed beasts.

Li Yao speculated that the fusion of the chakra of the nine tailed beasts could raise the intensity of chakra nature to the Six Paths level.

The Gedo Mazo is essentially the shell of the Ten-Tails.

The chakra it carries is the chakra of the nine tailed beasts fused together.

Madara's Rinnegan can summon the Gedo Mazo and receive its chakra boost, so he is actually at the Six Paths level now.

He created White Zetsu to do things for him because his body was too old to exert much strength.

"For example... tell the five great ninja nations where he's hiding!"

The clay bird flew north, and Li Yao was sorting through the memories he had obtained from Kato Dan.

Back then, when Kato Dan burned his soul to imprison Li Yao's body, his spiritual chakra was devoured by Li Yao's Vajra Seal, and a large part of his spiritual memories were also absorbed by Li Yao.

Through his memories, Li Yaocai learned that Kato Dan had actually used the spiritification technique he was looking for.

Soul perception is also a special perceptual ability of the art of spiritualization.

Li Yao's shadow clones were seen through, while his main body remained locked in place because of the unique soul perception ability of the Spirit Transformation Technique, which allowed him to distinguish the different soul strengths of the shadow clones and his main body.

Li Yao has now replicated the spirit chakra from when Kato's spirit body invaded his body back then.

After half an hour.

With Kato Dan's memories sorted out and Li Yao having obtained the complete memories of the Spirit Transformation Technique, along with the copied spirit chakra, he can now use all the abilities of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

At the same time, through Kato Dan's memories, Li Yao has also confirmed that the person who found him living in seclusion on an island near the Arctic Circle was indeed neither from Konoha nor from the Five Great Nations.

The message came from the underground bounty office.

Kato and his team only found Li Yao after they received the news and went to the vicinity of the Arctic Circle.

So, who is more capable than the secret agents of the five major powers in intelligence gathering and finding people, and who can find him near the sparsely populated Arctic Circle?

Before this, Li Yao always thought that his chakra perception ability was amazing, and that no one or anything carrying chakra could get close to him without being detected.

Kato Dan's appearance made him think that someone had mastered some kind of powerful ninjutsu that allowed them to sense him from a great distance.

It wasn't until he saw Bai Zetsu sink into the ground and couldn't sense anything that Li Yao had his suspicions. Now that he had obtained Kato's memories, he could finally confirm that it was Bai Zetsu who had revealed his location.

The purpose... his current subjugation is the biggest purpose.
