Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 32 The Ability to Learn All Ninjutsu

What is the essence of ninjutsu?

It's chakra!

In the world of ninjas, chakra is the foundation of all ninjutsu; ninjutsu is merely the external expression of chakra energy.

All ninjutsu is achieved through chakra.

The fundamental basis of chakra in ninjutsu lies in nature transformation and form transformation.

Li Yao dared not say that all ninjutsu were like this.

However, he was certain that the vast majority of ninjutsu were developed based on the nature and form transformations of chakra.

Chakra nature transformation gives various ninjutsu attribute changes.

For example, the fire attribute of chakra will exhibit the nature of fire, allowing fire-style techniques to display characteristics such as heat, light, and burning.

The shape changes of chakra give rise to the shape changes of ninjutsu.

For example, the forms of fire-style ninjutsu such as Great Fireball Technique, Fire Dragon Technique, and Phoenix Flower Technique are given by chakra shape transformation.

Simply put, the nature transformation of chakra allows pure chakra energy to be transformed into energy or matter with certain physical properties, such as fire, water, and lightning, which can cause physical damage to the real world.

The transformation of chakra is a further processing, responsible for shaping these energies into more destructive forms.

Just as the Steel Release chakra gives steel its physical properties, and then the chakra shape transformation gives steel the form of a sword, the fusion of these two elements creates the Steel Release: Steel Sword Technique.

It can be said that virtually no ninjutsu can escape the nature and form transformations of chakra.

Even the Rasengan, which has no attribute, is a ninjutsu developed using chakra shape transformation.

This type of ninjutsu, which only involves chakra transformation, is the easiest for Li Yao to learn.

As long as Li Yao can personally sense the changes in the chakra form of the Rasengan, he can instantly learn the Rasengan.

They possess the ability to absolutely control their own chakra, performing nature and form transformations.

It also possesses a powerful chakra perception ability that allows it to sense changes in the nature and form of ninjutsu chakra.

With both of their abnormal abilities combined, Li Yaocai had absolute confidence that he could learn all ninjutsu.

The same is true.

In fact, it only took him three days to replicate and condense the sealing chakra on his body from the sealing technique.

The reason it takes three days is simply because the nature and form of the sealed chakra are quite complex, and it takes three days to fully understand them.

Otherwise, Li Yao could condense the corresponding sealing chakra in a day or even a second.

However, although he has condensed the corresponding sealing chakra, which allows him to release the sealing techniques on his body at any time.

However, how to conceal his ever-increasing chakra reserves from the ANBU ninjas was a problem.

It's alright now, his chakra level isn't too high.

The chakra in the sealing technique on his body didn't react much, and no abnormalities could be found during the examination.

However, if Li Yao's chakra level continues to increase, it will definitely be detected by ninjas who can sense chakra levels through the sealing techniques on his body.

The secret service will definitely be on guard against him, which will hinder his plan to launch a surprise attack.

"We need to find a way to store the increased chakra without anyone noticing."

While Li Yao was pondering how to conceal his increased chakra levels, the Baku squad led him to the entrance of a dark underground base.

A four-person team dressed in different uniforms and masks than the Dark Guards was already waiting in front of the gate.

This squad is one of the two four-person squads at the root.

The team leader took the initiative to step forward and stop the explosive squad.

Then he went to the torture bed and carefully examined Li Yao's body.

Upon seeing the black sealing spell appear on Li Yao's body, he frowned and looked at Bao, saying, "Remove the sealing spell from the target."

Bao's gaze sharpened, and he refused, saying, "The target is very dangerous. The Hokage specifically instructed that the sealing technique must not be lifted under any circumstances."

The Root squad leader said, "I know, I will apply a new sealing spell to the target."

The words were laced with distrust, which made Baku frown slightly. The attitude of the Root squad leader made him, a direct descendant of the Hokage, very unhappy.

He knew very well how important and dangerous the target was to the Hokage.

He dared not rashly break the seal.

Baku refused the Root squad leader's request, citing the lack of orders from the Hokage.

"Alright, then leave it to us."

The Root squad leader didn't insist any further. He told his team members to take the torture bed from the Explosion Squad and push it towards the Root base.

Bao stood there, frowning, and stared for a while.

He knew that the other party had not pressed the issue further because they were confident that they could remove the sealing spell on their target.

This made him a little worried that something unexpected might happen.

After thinking it over, Bao decided to report to the Hokage.

After receiving a reassuring answer from the Hokage in his office that there was nothing to worry about, he stopped paying attention to Li Yao's situation.

The Root base was built on the basis of the secret base where the Wood Release was revived.

That's why the Third Hokage considered handing Li Yao over to Danzo.

At this time, Danzo was not at the Root base, or even in Konoha, but was out on a mission with another four-person team from Root.

Li Yao was taken over by another four-person team.

They led Li Yao to a secret room.

This place has equipment comparable to that of advanced biological laboratories on Earth in my previous life, and even high-tech equipment like computers.

Everything here looks much more professional than in Interrogation Room No. 3.

Li Yao was stripped naked and lay on a stone bed covered with sealing spells.

The squad leader stood behind Li Yao, while the other three stood on three sides, surrounding Li Yao in the middle.

"Sealing Technique - Release!"

The root squad leader and his three teammates formed hand seals and then placed them on the four points on the stone table, which was engraved with sealing spell patterns.

As the four people activated the sealing formula on the stone table with their chakra, Li Yao felt a force from the stone table drawing away the chakra from the sealing formula on his body. The chakra of the sealing formula he had copied and condensed was also drawn away by this force.

Li Yao quickly withdrew the sealing chakra that had been gathered on his body, allowing it to revert to its normal chakra state, thus avoiding the situation of it being extracted.

Otherwise, if the amount of chakra extracted from the sealing technique is incorrect, Li Yao's ability to release the sealing technique on his own will be detected.

Li Yao didn't want to bear the consequences of this.

After enduring six months of torment, Li Yao no longer underestimates any ninja in this world.

In this world with supernatural powers, you can never be too careful.

After the sealing technique's chakra was extracted from Li Yao, Li Yao no longer had the sealing technique, and could control his chakra at will.

However, Li Yao did not make any movement and remained in a vegetative state.

Even though he could regain control of his body at any time and recover from a vegetative state, he still maintained his current state.

If he can continue to live, then he will continue to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to escape.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, then we should give it our all.

Li Yao's mindset is much more stable now than it was six months ago.

Or perhaps... I've become numb.

The behavior after one has no fear of life and death.

"Eight Trigrams Seal!"

After removing the seal from Li Yao's body, the Root Squad applied the Bagua Seal to Li Yao. Li Yao sensed it and found that the Bagua Seal was similar in effect to the sealing technique previously applied to him.

It can also seal and imprison his chakra.

In addition, it has an extra effect: the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique can continuously absorb his chakra to maintain the continuous existence of the sealing technique.

Previously, the sealing techniques on his body required him to input chakra periodically to maintain their effectiveness.

From this perspective, the Bagua Seal is more powerful than the previous sealing techniques.

For Li Yao, this Bagua seal was very troublesome.

He can replicate and condense the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique's chakra, breaking free of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique to absorb his chakra.

But because of this, his abilities will be exposed.

Until a secret method for storing chakra is found, Li Yao can only suspend the replication and condensation of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique chakra.

"Put him in Experiment Module No. 8."

The root squad leader instructed his team members that the root squad didn't have time to study Li Yao right now, so they had to seal him away for the time being.

There are eight cylindrical glass experimental chambers in the laboratory, which contain nutrient solutions specifically for culturing cells and are most suitable for sealing experimental subjects.

It can maintain the life activities of the experimental subjects to a minimum without requiring frequent checks, as the computer can monitor them automatically.

Li Yao was thus placed naked into the glass chamber of Experiment No. 8 and sealed away.

Li Yao was unaware of his physical condition. His chakra perception could only sense chakra, and since glass and other materials did not contain chakra, he could not see that he had been sealed inside the nutrient solution.

However, Li Yao could sense that he was surrounded by a ball of chakra filled with a faint life force.

The nutrient solution contains chakra.

This chakra contains a special life force that nourishes Li Yao's physical body.

He felt his energy levels increasing.

This indicates that his physical body is regaining vitality.

Although he didn't know what had happened outside, Li Yao was certain that he shouldn't have to risk his life for the time being.
