Whether it was stealing or thanking nature for its bounty.
Hidezawa had never thought of leaving the power of the Dragon Vein to others, and besides, what he said was true.
Leaving it here would only make the Sunagakure restless, and in the future, it would attract the so-called villain 'Anrokuzan'.
Since that was the case, he might as well act first to prevent these powers from being coveted all the time.
This was also in line with Root's will: Everything is for Konoha.
Of course, this operation was not without risk; his Fūinjutsu's level had never been improved.
Neither Danzo nor Uchiha Obito had given Hidezawa extra time to prepare.
"However, a LV5 Fūinjutsu should be able to undo the current seal, and what I need to do is…"
Hidezawa's eyes narrowed slightly. What he needed to do was, when the Dragon Vein Chakra burst forth, 'grab it in an instant, and infuse it immediately'.
While saying it like that might be an exaggeration, it was essentially true.
Whether it was a kekkei genkai, or a kekkei tōta, or even Hidezawa's ultimate dream, the kekkei mōra, all required an unimaginably vast amount of chakra to fuse them.
And such a massive amount of chakra was very difficult for a normal person to produce.
The physical limits of a person were set, and not everyone could produce lots of amount of usable chakra.
Otherwise, why were there so many civilians in the Ninja World, and why did the Ninja Academy conduct assessments every year? It was to see if they had ninja talent.
Hidezawa naturally had talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been forcibly taken by Danzo.
Moreover, his current strong Overall Physical Attributes itself could bring a considerable amount of chakra.
Coupled with the fact that he had levelled his Chakra to LV7, in addition to greatly improving his control, application, and most importantly, recovery of chakra, its quantity also increased.
But even so, he didn't think that this amount of chakra would truly be enough when performing chakra-nature fusion.
"It seems that after these matters are resolved, I still need to focus on Overall Physical Attributes and Chakra. Damn it, there are still too few Free Points."
Hidezawa sighed inwardly. Overall Physical Attributes was the foundation; LV7Overall Physical Attributes could only be considered elite-jōnin.
LV10 was only Kage level. To catch up to Senju Hashirama's physical aptitude, he would need at least LV12 or higher, right?
'As for those Otsutsuki…'
"Focus on the present."
Hidezawa didn't dare to think any further; the more he thought, the more his head would ache, and it would also cause his decision-making paralysis to flare up.
Focusing on a single stat increase was indeed good, but sometimes it also needed to be decided based on the actual situation.
If he didn't have high-level in Earth Style and only focused on Water Style, he would have probably been beaten into a pulp in the previous mission.
Besides, he still wanted to obtain the kekkei mōra; so, he could only resign himself to being a grinder.
"I've recovered enough, so I'm going to start. You help me keep an eye on external movements."
"Do you not need my help?"
Kabuto adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice. However, this quickly earned him an eye roll from Hidezawa.
"Do you know sealing techniques?"
"I'll keep watch for you."
Kabuto was very sensible, knowing that if he couldn't do one thing, he would immediately switch to another. Seeing his behaviour, Hidezawa nodded in satisfaction.
Squatting down, Hidezawa began to carefully examine the sealing jutsu in front of him.
As soon as he got close, he immediately noticed something unusual coming from within the seal.
He could vaguely sense a chakra constantly roaring, but all its fluctuations were blocked by the sealing jutsu.
"This is too exaggerated. At first, I thought it was wind, but I didn't expect…"
Kabuto also noticed the situation. He involuntarily swallowed hard, then looked at Hidezawa.
"Can you really do this? Don't cause any accidents."
"Don't disturb me. I know what I'm doing."
Hidezawa replied. This wasn't just bravado; moreover, he had indeed discovered something interesting.
"Four Symbols Seal, its effect can be this good?"
After careful observation, Hidezawa was able to determine what selaing jutsu Namikaze Minato had left here.
It was the Four Symbols Seal.
Although the entry level for the Four Symbols Seal was not high, mastering it was not so easy.
Minato's technique was very clever; he had stacked several layers, making the Four Symbols Seal interlock and completely lock down the Dragon Vein.
Moreover, this kind of sealing also created a very interesting effect: once one seal was broken by the Dragon Vein, the other seals could quickly resist it.
At the same time, the damaged seal could be repaired by utilizing the chakra overflowing from the Dragon Vein.
After all, the Dragon Vein was pure chakra without any conscious, perfectly suited for repairs.
"At worst, even if the seal chain goes wrong, he can come over immediately with Flying Thunder God."
Hidezawa looked at the specially made kunai at his feet and couldn't help but sigh. This Fourth Hokage was truly meticulous.
It was a pity that even heaven was jealous of his talent; he was betrayed by his own disciple and then chose to commit suicide. Otherwise, Hidezawa would have had no chance at all.
"And thankfully it's still the Four Symbols Seal. If it were the Eight Trigrams Seal, I'd be out of luck."
The Eight Trigrams Seal was what he used to seal the Nine-Tails, it was a higher-level application of two Four Symbols Seal, turning into a truly fearsome seal. The current Hidezawa had no way of dealing with that at all.
"Then, let's begin!"
Taking a deep breath, he extended his finger, and a faint chakra appeared at his fingertip, then he touched the weaker side of the seal.
Although his Fūinjutsu level wasn't high, the Four Symbols Seal had long been categorized within it, and besides, what he needed to do wasn't difficult.
It was to open a gap in this set of seals, allowing the Dragon Vein to continuously wear down the seal itself. This way, it wouldn't be too dangerous when it came out.
And he could also complete his own preliminary preparations within this time.
Buzz—!
When he opened a gap in the seal, the violent chakra immediately began to vibrate.
The firelight inside the tower began to flicker, and an inexplicable sense of oppression swept over him and Kabuto.
"You have a retreat plan ready, right?"
Kabuto adjusted his glasses, feeling the increasingly strong chakra, and asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life."
Hidezawa nodded. He sat cross-legged beside the seal, then silently closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Kabuto said no more. He looked around his surroundings, then began to set up various traps.
Being dragged into this mess by Hidezawa, Kabuto was somewhat helpless, but he still chose to trust him.
After all, they were both raised by Dean Yakushi Nono, and they were friends from the orphanage. After joining Root, he naturally understood how important such a friendship truly was.
For him, perhaps the most trustworthy people currently were only Nono and the shameless guy Hidezawa.
At the same time, Hidezawa also began to infuse the chakra within his body.
Earth-style was what he was most familiar with, as it was what he used most often in combat.
Next was Water-style. Although it was a pity that due to terrain limitations and his unwillingness to waste too much chakra, his Water-style usage frequency wasn't high in current battles.
But its original level, second only to Earth, already indicated his preference for it.
When these two attribute chakras were completely mobilized, he also began to slowly mobilize his own Yang-style chakra.
And when these three powers were fully mobilized, he also began to operate according to the 'formula' in his mind.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
