Chapter 219: Chakra Condensation
Hearing the Fox use the Five Elements Seal to seal one of Kushina’s Nine-Tails Chakra tails, Tsunade suddenly felt a special intuition in her heart.
Like…
Too similar…
Kushina said that on the Night of the Nine-Tails Transfer Seal, someone inputted Uzumaki Clan-specific sealing attribute Chakra into her twice in a row.
That was definitely someone with Uzumaki Bloodline.
That person was very mysterious and never showed up.
And back then, around Kushina, in the end, there was only the Kiiroinu Battalion.
The Fox was the number one expert of the Kiiroinu Battalion.
Hearing now that the Fox had such a high level of proficiency in the Five Elements Seal made a thought arise in Tsunade’s heart.
Could it be him?
The Five Elements Seal was a relatively normal Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, with effects far inferior to the Four Symbols Seal and the Adamantine Seal.
If the Fox was regarded as a ninja with Uzumaki Bloodline, everything seemed to make sense.
Tsunade looked at the other high-ranking officials in the room.
They had never directly contacted Nine-Tails Chakra, so they didn’t understand the power of the Five Elements Seal in sealing Nine-Tails Chakra.
However, Tsunade did not rashly confirm it.
She had matured a lot.
If the Fox didn’t have Uzumaki Bloodline, she would likely be used by Anbu.
The Fox had a great reputation and wasn’t a good person.
If the Fox had Uzumaki Bloodline, she couldn’t contact the Fox even more.
The Fox was the one watching Kushina from the shadows; rashly contacting him would only expose him.
Yoru noticed Tsunade’s fleeting glance but didn’t react.
With his current Anbu Squad Leader strength and decent Sealing Jutsu level, others wouldn’t be surprised.
They would never associate the Fox with Uzumaki Bloodline Limit; they would only think that as expected of the Copper Fox, becoming more well-rounded.
Tsunade made herself forget about the Fox and said to the other high-ranking officials:
“Kushina is only 10 years old and hasn’t even graduated from the Ninja Academy. How could she fully master sealing?
Your experiments with the Nine-Tails Seal were too rough. What if something goes wrong with the seal?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi said: “Too slow. We must quickly improve Kushina’s strength. The Hidden Cloud Village’s Perfect Jinchuriki plan has brought huge pressure to Konoha.”
Senju Hanaki and Tsunade exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled why the village was so anxious.
Senju Hanaki said: “Our Senju Clan will form a dedicated Sealing Squad to check and maintain Kushina’s seal at any time.
Tsunade’s Sealing Jutsu level is extremely high; she has learned many of her mother’s Sealing Jutsu and developed powerful ones herself.
If even Tsunade can’t reinforce the Nine-Tails Seal, no one else in Konoha can.”
Senju Hanaki knew that Tsunade had already mastered the Shadow Seal and was researching the Hundred Healings Jutsu.
After the blow from the Night of the Nine-Tails Transfer, Tsunade’s strength had improved very quickly.
Senju Hanaki said Tsunade’s Sealing Jutsu proficiency was high, and the other high-ranking officials didn’t refute; it was indeed true.
Senju Hanaki continued: “However, before Kushina graduates, I don’t recommend putting too much pressure on her too early.
Mother said that getting along with the Nine-Tails requires filling the heart with love to counter the Nine-Tails’ hatred.
The Nine-Tails Chakra brings strong negative emotions to people.
Kushina should have a happy student life; this matter can’t be rushed, or it will only amplify the negative effects of the Nine-Tails Chakra.”
Several high-ranking officials didn’t argue to a conclusion.
The meeting ended, and Tsunade deliberately lagged a few steps behind, seeing the Fox Body Flicker away, but noticed nothing.
She reminded herself not to be impatient or act rashly.
The Senju Clan’s situation was even worse than she imagined; she was the Senju Clan’s last hope.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Yoru quickly headed to a training ground at the village edge.
In the training ground, Sakumo Hatake suddenly turned his head, sensing someone coming.
Seeing the Fox Mask emerging from the bushes, Sakumo Hatake relaxed and continued explaining to Minato Namikaze.
“Minato, you have a lot of Chakra Amount; you can’t be treated as an ordinary Ninja Academy student.
The technique I’m teaching you is efficient Chakra use, and it’s also the foundation secret jutsu of my fame.”
Hearing this, Minato was touched.
He didn’t expect White Fang Lord of Konoha to be willing to teach him the White Fang’s famous secret jutsu after less than a month together.
“Sakumo Lo···” Minato immediately corrected: “Teacher Sakumo, I definitely won’t disappoint your teachings!”
Sakumo Hatake nodded repeatedly and continued:
“The training method I taught you recently is the first stage of my secret jutsu.
My secret jutsu is called Chakra Crystal Refinement Secret Jutsu, divided into two steps.
First step, Chakra Condensation.
Second step, Chakra Crystal Refinement.
Being proficient in Chakra Condensation is enough to make you a Jonin.
If you can be proficient in Chakra Crystal Refinement, it’s enough to make you an Elite Jonin or even Kage Level Ninja.”
As he spoke, a ball of Lightning Release Chakra appeared in Sakumo Hatake’s hand.
The Chakra increased, becoming more condensed, but the volume became smaller and smaller.
The crackling lightning sounds were like many birds chirping.
Yoru in the bushes was stunned; why did it somewhat resemble Chidori?
Sakumo Hatake said: “My Chakra Nature is Lightning Release. After condensing Lightning Release Chakra, it enhances Lightning Release’s piercing ability.
Your Chakra Nature is Wind Release. You figured out condensing Wind Release Chakra to enhance Body Flicker Technique skills.
This technique requires day-after-day condensation hardship cultivation for ten years; beginner is easy, improvement is hard.
Continue researching, continue hardship cultivation, and one day, you will master Chakra Crystal Refinement.
Minato, since you call me teacher, today I accept you as my disciple.
When you graduate from the Ninja Academy, I will become your Jonin leader.”
Minato was extremely moved; he had been spotted by Teacher Sakumo ahead of time.
Sakumo Hatake liked Minato Namikaze’s talent and temperament. He looked to the side; the Fox’s suggestion had initially puzzled him.
After spending more time with Minato, Sakumo Hatake liked him more and more.
Hatake Kakashi nearby watched the ball of lightning in his father’s hand thoughtfully.
Not just Kakashi; Yoru looking at that condensed Lightning Release Chakra ball was also thoughtful.
He must improve his strength as much as possible.
Hatake Zhaoda couldn’t die; if he did, all his arrangements would go down the drain.
His strongest ability now was undoubtedly Absolute Defense Copper Light and Water Style Water Clone.
Water Clone couldn’t see the light of day; he temporarily couldn’t find a way to make this technique public.
He couldn’t go to Hidden Rain Village and tie up Hanzo for interrogation.
Absolute Defense Copper Light was built on Chakra Crystal Refinement Secret Jutsu.
Copper Light defended physical attacks very effectively, but against other attacks, like the Nine-Tails Chakra attack he just experienced, it had some limitations.
Earth Release Chakra’s refinement was complete; it was time to try refining other nature Chakra.
His second nature Chakra was Water Release.
Earth Release Chakra condensed and compressed to the extreme brought defense from ultra-high density.
Watching Sakumo Hatake’s demonstration, Lightning Release Chakra condensed and compressed to the extreme brought destructive power from high frequency.
Wind Release Chakra, based on Minato Namikaze’s preliminary development, seemed to bring burst from high pressure.
Water Release Chakra, Yoru hadn’t figured out the condensation direction yet.
He had to follow Sakumo Hatake’s teaching and honestly complete Water Release Chakra’s refinement.
After Sakumo Hatake and the other three left the training ground, Yoru sat in the bushes and began trying to condense Water Release Chakra.
One-step refinement was impossible; the System could help him once, not five times.
He had to practice slowly like Minato Namikaze and master it gradually.
People must accept their mediocrity; aside from the System, he was a completely ordinary waste.
Water Release Chakra appeared in his hand, condensing under his control.
Liquids have incompressibility; no matter how much pressure, water’s volume doesn’t change much.
Water Release Chakra seemed to have incompressibility too.
Was Chakra Crystal Refinement not suitable for Water Release?
Should he skip Water Release Chakra and condense the third nature, Wind Release Chakra?
No, he couldn’t give up.
Let’s try hard; what if he wasn’t a waste?
Earth Release high density brings defense, Lightning Release high frequency brings destruction, Wind Release high pressure brings burst—what characteristic does Water Release Chakra have after compression?
Two hours later, Yoru gained nothing.
He had to persuade himself that there was plenty of time; he really wasn’t a genius.
He returned to Anbu for today’s Investigation Report.
Damn formalism; even as ninjas, they had to spend time every day writing Mission Scrolls.
Purple Cat had summarized other squads’ missions for him, but he still had to write his own completed missions.
Especially the high-ranking officials’ focus on Hatake Sakumo and Jinchuriki surveillance, which had to be written in detail.
Purple Cat entered the office and asked: “Mission smooth?”
“Pretty good.”
Purple Cat saw the Fox’s low mood and lay beside the desk waiting.
After the Fox finished the scroll, she immediately took it to deliver to Anbu Deputy Minister’s assistant Butterfly, then returned to the Fox’s side.
“Why unhappy? How about digging up some joy?”
Purple Cat was getting better at it, even knowing to hint Yoru with the code.
After one digging, Purple Cat’s neck was pink.
After two diggings, Yoru’s mood improved a lot.
But feeling it wasn’t enough, he continued with three diggings.
Until Purple Cat was dazed and limp, unable to take more, Yoru left satisfied.
Back at Tsuruzuki Izakaya, Yoru saw Qiao Yi who had closed early.
“Business bad today?”
“Yeah, weird, don’t know why so few people today.”
Qiao Yi pushed Yoru into her boudoir.
Yoru felt a bit guilty; three diggings with Purple Cat, then investigating Qiao Yi, was a bit taxing.
All because Water Release Chakra condensation wasn’t going well, making him in a bad mood with Purple Cat, too indulgent.
Qiao Yi instantly saw Yoru’s hesitation and said: “I’ve resumed ninja training. Today you can do it or not, you have to!”
She even took out Akimichi Clan’s Blue Pill and dropped it into a glass of water.
Yoru watched the Blue Pill swaying left and right in the water due to water resistance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He found inspiration!
His thinking was wrong; the condensation direction for Water Release Chakra was water resistance!
Qiao Yi got a bit scared: “No, Miqu, what kind of look is that? Why are your eyes shining? I’m a bit scared; how about skipping today?”
Yoru tilted his head back and drank the Blue Pill.
“Too late! Today you can do it or not, you have to!”
Late at night, Qiao Yi’s love surged like tides.
Yoru left refreshed and went to an unmanned training ground at the village edge.
Yoru scouted around, confirmed no one, then sorted his thoughts.
Earth Release Chakra Crystal Refinement: high density brings defense.
Lightning Release Chakra Crystal Refinement: high frequency brings destruction.
Just now, the Blue Secret Medicine Pill in water swayed left and right due to water resistance, proving one characteristic of water is resistance.
That is, he could use water resistance to do something.
Could he hypothesize that Water Release Chakra, high resistance brings buffering or delay?
Yoru tried condensing Water Release Chakra.
This time, he didn’t compress the Water Release Chakra volume but kept refining more Water Release Chakra into his hand, making the Water Release Chakra in his palm increase.
In his hand appeared a ball of Water Release Chakra with extremely high density.
He kicked up a stone with his toe and kicked it hard into the sky.
The stone rose to the highest point and fell, smashing into the condensed Water Release Chakra ball in his hand at extreme speed.
Water splashed from his hand; the Water Release Chakra, stimulated, quickly turned into liquid.
Water Release Chakra consumed the stone’s kinetic energy; the stone’s speed dropped sharply and finally slowly landed in Yoru’s palm.
Good, Water Release Chakra after condensation indeed had extremely high resistance.
He split several Shadow Clones.
The first Shadow Clone used Fire Release Fire Dragon Flame Bullet on him.
The surging flames hit the Water Release Chakra ball in Yoru’s hand and quickly neutralized with the Water Release Chakra, producing a lot of water mist.
Not neutralizing with water, but with Water Release Chakra.
The impact and heat of Fire Dragon Flame Bullet were all blocked by Water Release Chakra.
After the Water Release Chakra dispersed, it turned into water mist.
Yoru looked at the Chakra in his hand, thinking the Water Release Chakra was too little; in the palm, the protection area wasn’t big.
After thinking carefully, he hand sealed and changed the Chakra form.
Using the three seals from Water Dragon Bullet for Chakra form change, a thin Water Release Chakra dragon coiled around Yoru’s body.
With Chakra injection, the Water Release Chakra dragon’s rotation speed increased, floating half a meter from his body.
Chakra Condensation consumed a lot of Chakra; Yoru couldn’t maintain the majestic dragon form and finally adjusted it to a thin snake.
Whether it looked good was secondary; effect was most important.
Water Release Chakra condensed into a Ring Snake, slowly floating and swaying up and down.
Somewhat like Mitsuki’s Sage Mode in Boruto.
The more Chakra injected, the faster the Water Release Chakra speed inside the Ring Snake, the higher the energy density.
The Shadow Clone released Fire Release Fire Dragon Flame Bullet at Yoru.
This time the protection effect was excellent; the high-resistance Water Release Chakra easily blocked Fire Release.
Another Shadow Clone used Earth Release Earth Spear on Yoru.
The Water Release Chakra snake moved with Yoru’s will, precisely blocking several Earth Spears.
The Earth Spears piercing the Water Release Chakra snake was like piercing particularly viscous thick oil; speed dropped sharply, losing power, tips knocked flying.
Yoru was stunned; how did he make another defense secret jutsu?
Was he that afraid of dying?
Water Release Chakra snake blocked Fire Release, impact, etc., then Absolute Defense Copper Light blocked the rest.
He became a copper turtle protected by Water Release Chakra resistance.
Extract Water Release Chakra, condense into Ring Snake, no hand seals needed.
Regrettably, this new technique was a half-finished product; true refined Water Release Chakra definitely wasn’t like this.
He named this secret jutsu Semi Absolute Defense Ring Snake.
After truly completing refinement, Earth-Water dual natures, dual defenses; he could stand there letting others hit him, and they couldn’t do anything.
As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, stack defense.
Between beating enemies to death and being beaten to death by enemies, I choose tiring enemies to death.

This month passed in surveillance missions in various villages.
The full moon was like a silver plate.
Yoru waited for another Full Moon Night.
Five days after the full moon, the Jonin Meeting was held again.
Recommendations finally ended, back to normal updates. 10 AM, 2 PM, 8 PM. Extra updates maybe at 11 PM, depending on when finished.
