Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 29 Ninjutsu Chakra Attributes

In my perception, the chakra within the sealing technique was constantly emitting unusual fluctuations.

It was this unusual fluctuation that acted like an invisible force field, effectively fixing Li Yao's chakra in place, making it as if it were imprisoned in a cement pillar, unable to move.

Besides this unusual fluctuation, the chakra in the sealing technique at this time is also different from the chakra under normal conditions.

Just like iron ore, after being forged and processed into swords, it has a specific use and is no longer just a simple, raw lump of ore.

In my perception, chakra in its normal state is like unprocessed iron ore, without any specific use.

The chakra in sealing techniques is like the screws of swords that have been forged and processed, giving them specific uses and functions.

Li Yao recalled carefully that when he used the Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique half a year ago, his chakra was indeed different from his normal chakra.

Just like how chakra, which has no attribute, acquires a specific attribute after being condensed and developed.

"That's right, it's an attribute!"

Li Yao suddenly remembered the different attributes of chakra. He could understand it by distinguishing between normal chakra and chakra used when releasing ninjutsu based on chakra attributes.

As is well known, chakra nature is divided into seven types: water, fire, earth, lightning, wind, yin, and yang.

Those who possess water-attribute chakra can use water-style ninjutsu.

Those who possess fire-attribute chakra can use fire-style ninjutsu.

The same applies to other chakra attributes.

In short, possessing the corresponding chakra attribute is the foundation for performing elemental esoteric techniques.

So, are there only these seven attributes of chakra?

If it were before now, Li Yao's answer would have been that there were only these seven attributes.

But now Li Yao is certain that there are more than just these seven attributes; these seven attributes are the basic chakra attributes that most people possess.

In addition to these seven basic chakra natures, there are other chakra natures.

Putting everything else aside, each bloodline limit has a new chakra attribute.

Although most bloodline limits are formed by fusing two basic chakra natures.

For example, Lava Release, which is formed by fusing fire and earth chakra, and Lava Release, which is formed by fusing water and earth chakra.

But can you say that Lava Release chakra isn't a new type of chakra?

No.

Because the Lava Release chakra nature is indeed not one of the seven basic chakra natures.

Therefore, Lava Release can only be performed by those who possess Lava Release chakra.

Based on this, the Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique in the Basic Three Body Techniques also have their own ninjutsu chakra attributes.

However, this change in chakra attribute is not much different from the change in chakra under normal circumstances, and it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive the change.

Only Li Yao, whose consciousness and chakra were fused together, could perceive the subtle difference.

Based on these findings, Li Yao made a bold conjecture.

The sealing technique chakra sealed within him also possesses corresponding chakra attributes.

If Li Yao can condense the chakra attribute of the sealing technique, he should be able to break free from the chakra seal that the sealing technique is using without anyone noticing.

"But... how can I gather the chakra attribute required for a sealing technique?"

Li Yao pondered that in his previous life, there was a theory about the chakra attributes in Naruto: theoretically, everyone could master seven chakra attributes.

It doesn't mean that just because a chakra test strip shows you have wind-style chakra, you'll never be able to condense fire-style chakra and use fire-style ninjutsu.

In fact, elemental chakra can be cultivated and developed through practice.

Or rather, each ninja's chakra possesses the seven basic attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, yin, and yang.

It's just that individual talents differ, and the attributes they are proficient in are different, so the chakra attributes displayed on the chakra test strip are also different.

After all, simply possessing a certain type of chakra attribute doesn't guarantee the easy release of escaping techniques based on that attribute.

Naruto possesses wind-style chakra.

However, his Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken was developed after he trained and developed a thinner and sharper wind-style chakra that he then incorporated into the Rasengan.

Therefore, simply having the corresponding chakra attribute is useless.

It is necessary to further condense the corresponding attribute chakra.

Just as everyone knows, the fusion of fire, earth, and wind chakra can become the powerful Kekkei Tota Release technique - Dust Release Chakra Attribute.

But no one can replicate it.

Even with the Third Tsuchikage personally teaching them, no one could learn it.

It is clear that having the corresponding chakra attribute is one thing, but being able to develop and condense the corresponding attribute chakra is another.

Just like giving you the same materials, without a skilled blacksmith, you can't forge a sword that can cut a hair in two.

However, developing and condensing the corresponding attribute chakra is indeed difficult.

But at least it proves that as long as one is a ninja and possesses chakra, theoretically one can develop and condense chakra of all attributes.

Therefore, Li Yao possesses the basic conditions to condense the chakra attribute of the sealing technique.

Moreover, compared to other ninjas in this world.

At this moment, his soul and consciousness are completely integrated into his chakra, giving him absolute control and perception over it, which is undoubtedly a great advantage.

Just like how he can now clearly perceive the difference between the chakra fluctuations in the sealing technique and his normal chakra.

He only needs to control his chakra to align with the chakra transformations in the sealing technique.

Without knowing the hand seals of the sealing technique, this was a clumsy method that only Li Yao could do.

Therefore, in a state where his chakra was sealed and he could not mobilize it, like a vegetable, Li Yao began to work on his own chakra, making it closer to the chakra attributes of the sealing technique.

The next morning.

The Hokage's office.

Bang!

Danzo pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hiruzen, you called for me." A hint of expectation flashed in Danzo's eyes.

"Hmm." The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo, then turned to his secretary and said, "Emi, you can go out for a moment."

Some things are better left unknown to most people, even his trusted secretary, Chiba Megumi, should know as little as possible.

"You've made your decision, Hiruzen." Danzo asked excitedly as soon as Chiba Megumi left.

"Yes, I agree to establish Root." The Third Hokage nodded, and before Danzo could say anything, his eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Danzo and said, "But Root must be under the jurisdiction of the Anbu and will only be a special squad under the Anbu. You have no autonomy."

"Sure, no problem." Danzo didn't hesitate for a moment. As far as he was concerned, as long as Root was established and he was in charge, what did it matter if there was no procedural autonomy? It wouldn't affect his rights at all.

Moreover… looking at the sharpness in the Third Hokage’s eyes, Danzo smiled subtly. They were old friends of many years, and everyone knew each other well.

As long as the Uchiha clan exists, the leadership of Root will never be handed over to anyone other than him.

Because the third generation wouldn't trust anyone other than him.
