"Your methods are very unique. What are they?" Meg looked at Shane without fear, not taking his threats to heart at all.
She admitted Shane's abilities were indeed somewhat beyond her expectations. But so what?
As long as he couldn't kill her completely, she would always remain invincible. Even if she was sealed like the previous demon, she would definitely escape eventually. It was just a matter of time.
Yes, Meg knew Shane had sealed a demon—the one on the plane. Precisely because of this, Meg appeared and approached Shane.
Of course, approaching Shane wasn't solely for this reason.
More reasons were that he was very close to the Winchester brothers, possessed special abilities even demons had never heard of, and even knew some secrets few should know. He had affected the plan of the Yellow-Eyed Demon, Azazel. So Azazel sent her to approach Shane and investigate his identity and abilities.
"Your fearless look seems to be telling me that you're not worried about what I'll do to you. If you think that way, I can only say you're wrong—wrong to an outrageous degree."
Shane smiled and walked toward Meg. Meg's expression suddenly changed, and she walked toward Shane with an incredibly ugly look on her face.
Unknown to her when it happened, Shane's shadow had quietly connected with hers.
"Surprised? Don't worry, what will surprise you more is yet to come." The corners of Shane's mouth rose slightly as he began to form hand seals slowly.
The speed of forming seals was very slow, as if he was deliberately messing with Meg's mentality.
Meg was like a marionette, mimicking the same movements. She didn't know what these seals represented, nor did she know what Shane was going to do. Originally fearless, she was driven somewhat to the brink of collapse by these slow movements and felt an urge to turn into black smoke and escape this body.
However, she was also worried that once she left this human body, the opponent would no longer hold back for fear of collateral damage and would use some method specifically targeting her.
Of course, she could flee, even back to Hell. But doing so would definitely incur Azazel's punishment, and she didn't know when she could come out of Hell again.
Meg, usually decisive, hesitated for a long time. It wasn't until Shane finished forming the seals and shouted the name that she finally made a decision.
Roar.
Opening her mouth, a cloud of thick black smoke seemed ready to drill out of her body.
"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!" (Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu)
As the voice fell, the black smoke originally preparing to drill out instantly stiffened and rapidly retreated back into the body. immediately after, Meg's eyes became pitch black, and her ink-like eyes actually revealed an expression of fear.
"It's actually useful?" Shane was somewhat surprised.
To be honest, despite his confident appearance just now, he really wasn't sure if the Hell Viewing Technique would work on demons. Anyway, trying it wouldn't hurt. If it worked, it was a bonus; if not, there was no loss.
Shane had already planned it out. If the Hell Viewing Technique didn't work, he would try the Mind Transfer Jutsu. In the Naruto system, "spirit" (mental energy) was actually somewhat similar to "soul." The Mind Transfer Jutsu could enter her body, maybe even drive out Meg, the intruder.
If the Mind Transfer Jutsu failed, Shane would use Super Beast Scroll: Predatory Tiger (Chōjū Giga) to seal her.
Although he only learned the basics from Jocelyn some time ago, he had specifically practiced drawing tigers. He also had pen and ink prepared—he specially got a small brush and ink box to carry on him, originally just in case for dealing with the demon on the plane.
The pen and ink were ordinary because he possessed all-attribute universal chakra. As long as he released the ninjutsu normally, it would automatically transform. He didn't need specially made pen and ink like Sai in the anime. (I couldn't find solid evidence on whether the pen and ink used for Super Beast Scroll must be special, but fortunately, the protagonist has universal chakra, so these details can be ignored.)
Although Shane had occupied the upper hand from beginning to end and had Meg completely under his thumb, in reality, unless he still had Sealing Tags, winning a complete victory—meaning keeping Meg here thoroughly—wasn't that easy.
Given this, Shane thought of three ninjutsu.
Four Symbols Seal, Spirit Transformation Technique, and Soul Body Separation Technique.
According to Shane's guess, the Four Symbols Seal should be able to seal the demon inside the human body, preventing it from leaving. Together with the previously mentioned Five Elements Seal, they should be the best sealing jutsu for dealing with possession types.
The Soul Body Separation Technique, as the name suggests, separates the body and soul and seals the soul into objects like stones. The medium is a paper charm. Once the paper charm is destroyed, the sealed soul will reappear.
The Spirit Transformation Technique, the ninjutsu Tsunade's lover Dan Katō was most proficient in, allows one's soul to leave the body, spiritualize oneself, possess enemies, and cause the enemy's spirit to collapse from the inside and die. In addition, the spirit body can also sense other people's souls. No matter how far away or whether one knows the other party's location beforehand, one can reach the other party's body after turning into a spirit body.
Its most common uses were possessing to kill, transmitting intelligence, or confirming a target's life or death, and it could also provide chakra to people. But in this world where souls and ghosts walked everywhere, the biggest use of the Spirit Transformation Techniqueshould be turning into a spirit body to fight directly with those soul bodies that normal physical attacks couldn't harm.
Three ninjutsu, three directions.
One can seal the demon in the possessed body so it can't leave. One can forcefully separate the possessed demon from the body and seal it. The last one is more reckless—directly turning into a spirit body to clash head-on with the opponent.
If he mastered these three ninjutsu, demons and the like would truly be completely under Shane's thumb.
