Chapter 128 Secrets
Having located the target, Hyuga Kanan was no longer in a hurry. As long as she could find the target's trail, she would have a chance to defend against their detection and also study their methods of infiltration and surveillance.
He continuously gathered his breath and adjusted his breathing. Hyuga Kanan was now slowly aligning himself with the frequency of the surrounding environment. Unless one looked very closely, it would be difficult to detect that Hyuga Kanan was there.
What Hyuga Kanan needs to do now is wait patiently and observe the White Zetsu's patterns of activity. He needs to find out all the White Zetsu in the area before taking action, capturing one to study carefully.
And so, Hyuga Kanan remained hidden in the shadows, carefully observing the White Zetsu for four days. During those four days, Konoha and Iwa ninja clashed more than ten times in this area, with significant casualties on both sides. Each time a White Zetsu ninja fell, they would gather around the fallen ninja, as if searching for something.
However, this situation kept happening, which made Hyuga Kanan observe the number of all the White Zetsu around him very carefully. After four days, when there were no more White Zetsu added, Hyuga Kanan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There were quite a few White Zetsu, a total of 28. Some of them were very well hidden, and even Hyuga Kanan, a very powerful reconnaissance type, almost didn't detect them. If Hyuga Kanan hadn't been very cautious and hadn't chosen to wait an extra day instead of acting immediately, he would probably have already been exposed to that White Zetsu.
Now that no new White Zetsu has appeared for a full day, Hyuga Kanan finally felt relieved and prepared to begin her operation. During this time, Hyuga Kanan's spiritual power had firmly locked onto the outermost White Zetsu. Now it was time for her to begin the capture operation.
Hyuga Kanan first cautiously moved around, setting up sealing techniques and barriers around the White Zetsu. He didn't want the other White Zetsu to discover his actions.
They carefully began setting up the sealing and barrier spells, leaving behind the spell patterns with each move, taking more than two hours to complete the setup.
Hyuga Kanan moved swiftly towards the White Zetsu she had locked onto, appearing instantly beside the tree the Zetsu had merged with. She placed her hand on the trunk, simultaneously activating a barrier jutsu and a sealing jutsu. Instantly, a barrier covering an area of over 50 meters was enveloped in the barrier, while the sealing runes converged towards the trunk, quickly forming a perfect seal that completely enveloped the tree.
At the same time, the boundless double rings on his wrists began to grow larger, directly binding the tree trunk and continuously shrinking. In the blink of an eye, the tree trunk shattered, leaving only a humanoid white creature firmly bound within the boundless double rings. The runes of the sealing spell also converged towards the humanoid creature, quickly turning it into a humanoid dumpling covered in runes.
Hyuga Kanan reached out and grabbed the other's neck, his figure rapidly moving away into the distance. Without Hyuga Kanan's energy supply, the barrier jutsu he left behind would dissipate within five minutes at most. At that point, the other White Zetsu would be able to contact each other and discover that one of them was missing, prompting the enemy to search the area. Hyuga Kanan only had five minutes to get away from this place and escape the enemy's detection range.
Furthermore, the barrier runes left by Hyuga Kanan would quickly dissipate into the air, and he decisively shattered the entire tree trunk to confuse the opponent and prevent them from knowing that he had used a sealing technique.
Carrying the White Zetsu, which was completely enveloped in sealing runes, Hyuga Kanan moved swiftly. In just a few minutes, he had already covered several kilometers, but he had no intention of stopping. His Byakugan scanned his surroundings, avoiding areas frequented by ninjas, as he headed towards his headquarters.
Hyuga Kanan planned to return directly to his secluded training ground, where he had painstakingly set up a grand array and barrier that could isolate him from external detection and searching. Once back, he could thoroughly study the White Zetsu creature he possessed, figuring out its methods of infiltration and surveillance before resuming his activities.
And so, Hyuga Kanan traveled frantically without sleep, taking nearly two days to finally return to his territory. Only after entering the great formation did Hyuga Kanan breathe a sigh of relief. Back at his base, Hyuga Kanan finally felt a sense of security.
Back in his secluded training chamber, Hyuga Kanan looked at the White Zetsu in his hand and felt a surge of joy. In truth, while observing the White Zetsu, Hyuga Kanan had discovered some interesting things that might be very helpful to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time and risked being discovered to capture a White Zetsu.
If Hyuga Kanan's only concern was that the White Zetsu's surveillance would reveal his whereabouts, then as long as he returned to his training grounds and stopped going out, the chances of the other party discovering him would be greatly reduced, or even impossible.
Of course, it would be great if we could figure out their infiltration methods. But Hyuga Kanan wouldn't take that risk just for that. Although their infiltration methods were difficult to detect, Hyuga Kanan could still find their whereabouts if he concentrated. Although their presence increased his risk of exposure while operating in the ninja world, they weren't a big threat as long as he didn't go out recklessly.
However, the way White Zetsu could effortlessly merge with trees, assimilate with them, and yet have chakra fluctuations similar to the natural energy of the outside world, made Hyuga Kanan realize that this was the application of the power of rules. If he could study White Zetsu's techniques, could he perhaps learn and comprehend a kind of power of rules? This was the best opportunity to improve himself, and Hyuga Kanan certainly wouldn't let it slip by.
After surveying the environment of the secret chamber, Hyuga Kanan placed the White Zetsu in his hand on the ground and began inscribing a barrier jutsu within the chamber. He also started setting up array formations and inscribing sealing techniques on the ground. Previously, his secluded chamber only had simple defensive arrays and barrier jutsu on the outside, but now that he needed to thoroughly study the White Zetsu, he couldn't give it a chance to escape. Once the chamber was properly set up, ensuring the White Zetsu had absolutely no chance of escape, he could then focus on his research in peace.
After a flurry of activity, Hyuga Kanan looked at the various runes in the secret chamber with satisfaction. He believed that under these circumstances, White Zetsu would have absolutely no chance of escaping.
Hyuga Kanan began to undo the sealing technique enveloping the White Zetsu's body, but decided not to remove the Unbound Twin Rings. Although he knew from the original work that the White Zetsu was not very strong, this was his first time encountering one, so he should be more cautious.
As the sealing technique was lifted, White Zetsu gradually recovered, only staring blankly at Hyuga Kanan before him, seemingly still confused about the situation. Hyuga Kanan, however, ignored his expression, extending his palm and placing it on White Zetsu's head. His divine sense, mixed with his own energy, flowed into White Zetsu's body. He wanted to thoroughly sense and examine White Zetsu's physical structure and energy flow, as well as the source of his energy.
As his divine sense and internal energy surged in, Hyuga Kanan quickly examined the other's entire body, finding it utterly astonishing. The other's internal body was completely different from a human's, and every cell possessed a peculiar energy constantly absorbing external natural energy, albeit very weakly. Furthermore, the way this energy circulated was incredibly strange, much like a tree absorbing energy from the earth through its roots—a completely different mechanism from human processes.
However, the brain structure of the other party is the same as that of humans, proving that the other party has the same thinking ability as humans, only the energy supply is different from that of humans.
Other things were of no use to him, but the mysterious energy within the cells caught Hyuga Kanan's attention. This energy resembled a system of rules operating. Hyuga Kanan had a vague suspicion and was very confident that if he could decipher the way this energy operated, he would be able to access that power of rules.
And so, Hyuga Kanan once again immersed herself in training and research. She continuously forcibly separated this cellular energy from the White Zetsu's body and then analyzed it bit by bit.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Hyuga Kanan, who had been staying in his secluded training chamber, suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement on his face. Not far from him stood the White Zetsu he had captured a year ago, now practically a dried-up corpse.
During this time, Hyuga Kanan began to analyze the operating rules of the mysterious energy in the cells of the White Zetsu's body. However, the energy in the White Zetsu's cells was too weak, and the separated energy could only last for a few days before being destroyed by Hyuga Kanan's continuous analysis. Therefore, he could only continuously extract and separate energy from the White Zetsu's body.
The White Zetsu's body relies entirely on the mysterious energy within these cells, and this cellular energy cannot be regenerated within the White Zetsu's body. After a year of continuous extraction, separation, and analysis of Hyuga Kanan's body, this White Zetsu was almost beyond repair, and the cellular energy could no longer be extracted from its interior.
Hyuga Kanan has been incredibly lucky; he's finally made some progress and deciphered a portion of the operating rules. If he still can't complete it, Hyuga Kanan will have no choice but to risk capturing another White Zetsu.
The mysterious energy within these cells was roughly what Hyuga Kanan had guessed—it was Wood Release from Hashirama Senju's cells. Now, Hyuga Kanan fully understood why only Hashirama Senju could use Wood Release ninjutsu.
