Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 101 Nine-Tailed Fox Inheritance Countdown

The Third Hokage and the other two Hokage advisors undoubtedly attached great importance to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Less than ten minutes after the incident of the Nine-Tails' chakra leak at Mito, they had already arrived one after another.

However, when they arrived, Mito was alone with Kirito.

They wanted to go in, but Tao Hua blocked them from entering, preventing them from getting inside for a long time.

"Momoka, almost twenty minutes have passed. What are Mito-sama and Kirito doing in there? The Nine-Tails is of great importance. Now is not the time for Mito-sama to act recklessly."

Koharu, who was turning over, questioned Momoka, who was blocking her way.

"How many times do I have to say it before you understand? Lady Mito is helping Kirito train the Yin Seal. Without her order, no one is allowed to go in and disturb them for the time being."

Tao Hua said firmly, showing no respect for Xiao Chun, who was turning over to the next room.

"you"

Koharu wanted to say something more, but Mitokado Homura pressed her shoulder down. When she saw Homura shake his head at her, she had no choice but to hold back again.

But she didn't really stop talking, muttering to herself, "Honestly, with such a big incident, how can this guy let Lady Mito continue to act recklessly? What if the Nine-Tails accidentally breaks the seal? At a time like this, we should reinforce the seal immediately; that's more important than anything else."

Ninjas have excellent hearing, so even if Koharu deliberately speaks softly, the people around her can still hear her.

Clearly, this was something Koharu Tsurugi did on purpose, in order to condemn Momoka and elevate herself.

Those around them simply watched coldly; they were all clear-headed, and no one dared to question Mito's orders or stand up to support Koharu Utatane's views at this moment.

"Hmph, this stupid woman, she really thinks she's the most esteemed female ninja of Konoha after Lady Mito. Lady Mito isn't even dead yet and she's already trying to interfere here. Too bad, even if Lady Mito doesn't interfere in Konoha's internal affairs for a long time, her influence is still above yours."

Tao Hua watched Koharu's clownish and clumsy performance and sneered inwardly.

"Momoka, I heard that Kirito successfully improved the Uzumaki clan's unique sealing technique, the Adamantine Sealing Technique, so that people outside the Uzumaki clan can learn it. Is that true?"

The third generation, who had been patiently waiting, suddenly asked Momoka.

After arriving here, he quickly gathered information and roughly understood what had just happened. He had some guesses about Mito's time alone with Kirito.

Therefore, he wasn't in a big hurry.

Unlike Koharu, he still had great faith in Mito's abilities.

Since Mito dared to expend chakra to help Kirito train the Yin Seal at this time, she must have been confident enough to prevent Kurama from breaking the seal.

Mito's seemingly capricious behavior is most likely related to the upcoming sealing of the Nine-Tails.

As expected, Kirito will be the key figure in sealing the Nine-Tails.

"That's right, the final task that Lady Mito gave Kirito was to learn the Adamantine Sealing Technique, and he has already given it a perfect answer."

Tao Hua nodded, a smile appearing on her face.

Kirito learned the Adamantine Lock, which was something she hadn't expected.

In fact, the Adamantine Sealing Technique, a powerful sealing technique that can effectively bind tailed beasts, had been researched by Konoha's sealing team for a long time, but no one had been able to improve it, not even Mito herself.

It wasn't until Kirito appeared that this problem was finally solved.

"Truly, God blesses Konoha. Kirito is amazing; he truly deserves to be Konoha's top genius."

The third generation received an affirmative answer from Momoka, and a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face. He praised her without reservation.

If Kirito heard the Third Hokage's evaluation of him at this moment, he would definitely feel unworthy of it.

He didn't improve the Vajra Sealing Technique on his own; he merely took a crucial step based on the foundation laid by his predecessors.

Long before him, many predecessors who were proficient in sealing techniques had attempted to improve the Vajra Sealing Technique.

Although they all failed, they left behind a wealth of experience in improvement.

These experiences greatly benefited Kirito, and his success in improving the Kongo Locket owes much to the experience of his predecessors.

Kirito was able to successfully improve the Adamantine Sealing Barrier because the final piece of the puzzle came from the special technique used by the monk Fa Yi in the original story to capture the tailed beast inside Gaara.

Hoichi is a disciple of Bunpuku, the current Jinchūriki of Sunagakure. The young Hoichi left Sunagakure in anger because of the unfair treatment of his teacher.

So, through the Night Organization's intelligence network and the underground gold exchange network, Kirito spent some time and a few hundred million dollars to quickly find the young monk Fa Yi, and then secretly obtained the technique from him using the Spirit Transformation Technique.

Through his research, he discovered that this technique was not a ninjutsu, but a technique that utilizes chakra and natural energy simultaneously outside the human body to a certain extent; it could be considered a pseudo-sage technique.

By drawing inspiration from this technique, Kirito successfully found a substitute for the requirement that the Adamantine Sealing Chains required the special bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

This alternative is natural energy.

That's right, the improved version of the Adamantine Lock requires the use of both chakra and natural energy.

Therefore, the improved version of the Diamond Lock technique is not easy to learn.

This involves the challenge of how to use chakra to mobilize and attract natural energy outside the human body, requiring the user to have extremely high chakra control.

Kirito would be secretly pleased if even one of the elites in the sealing class could learn it.

However, if successfully learned, the improved version of the Adamantine Sealing Barrier is more effective at suppressing tailed beasts than the original version, only slightly weaker.

There's no way around it; the special abilities born from the bloodline of aliens can indeed effectively suppress chakra-based special life forms like tailed beasts.

"Gah~"

Suddenly, the door opened and Kirito came out.

"Kirito, how is Lady Mito?"

When Momoka saw Kirito, she immediately asked him what was wrong, while peeking through the crack in the door into the room. She saw that Mito was already lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.

The question that Momoka asked was also the question that the Third Hokage and the others wanted to ask, and all the ninjas waiting outside the door turned their gazes toward Kirito.

"Don't worry, the teacher is fine. He just fell asleep. The seal on the Nine-Tails is still stable for now."

Kirito smiled slightly at everyone and replied.

Then, he walked up to the Third Hokage, his smile quickly fading, and said to the Third Hokage with a serious expression, "Third Hokage, please begin preparing for the Nine-Tails' inheritance ceremony. This is our teacher's wish."

"I understand, I'll get ready right away."

Upon hearing Kirito's words, the Third Hokage's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied seriously.

After saying that, he used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone and had the shadow clone issue various commands.

Momoka, Tsunade, Nawaki, Kushina, and the others who cared about Mito all looked saddened upon hearing Kirito's words. Nawaki and Kushina even broke down in tears.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally, when the time for parting actually came, they still couldn't help but feel shaken and saddened.

Kirito was also very sad, but he had more important things to do now. He had to do the things his teacher had assigned him perfectly, and he absolutely could not allow any mistakes.

After speaking with the Third Hokage, he quickly went to Kushina and said, "Kushina, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
