"Sigh…" With a tired sigh, Kuroto took out the thirteenth clone and placed it on the Test Bench.
This is the fifth day since he started testing the Yin seal.
Despite having revised the Yin seal as per the standards of a male body, Kuroto faced a lot of unexpected hurdles while testing it. This is why the testing phase has dragged on for so long and consumed so many clones and yet it hasn't been completed.
Of course, the effort of so many days and the destruction of twelve clones didn't go to waste. Kuroto feels that he is very close to completion. So without any delay, he reattempted the Yin seal.
As per his expectations, this time things went smoothly. From the initial sealing process to the extraction of chakra, there weren't many hurdles and everything proceeded without any twists and turns.
After a while, Kuroto–still controlling the clone–slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mirror, and muttered, "The initial step was completed successfully?"
There was a small diamond-shaped mark on the forehead. Although it appeared to be very dull and faded, Kuroto wasn't disappointed. The appearance of this diamond mark on the forehead is a sign that the initial step has been completed.
Even if the initial phase was completed, Kuroto wasn't excited. The reason being he had reached this step two times already with previous clones, but miserably failed in the next step which involved storing Chakra.
While trying to store Chakra, one time the Chakra veins in the body were destroyed and the other time, the clone's head blew off.
The first accident was still acceptable, but the second accident was very dangerous. The clone was destroyed, that's one thing, but his soul was shaken and took an entire day to recover.
Therefore, Kuroto is extremely clear that reaching this point doesn't mean that he has succeeded, two crucial steps that involved Storing Chakra and Releasing the chakra are still left. Unless these two steps can be completed, the testing won't be completed.
Putting off the thoughts in his mind, Kuroto sat in the lotus position and started the process of storing chakra inside the Yin-seal.
From the previous two lessons that he had learned, this time Kuroto was very careful. The process of extracting chakra from the body and directing it towards the seal was very gentle, and the step of storing it inside the Yin seal was even more meticulous and tested his Chakra Control ability.
Time passed second by second, in the blink of an eye, the entire night has passed, and the sun was about to rise.
At this time, Kuroto withdrew himself from the meditative state and stood up, after stretching his body a little he came in front of the mirror and looked at the diamond symbol on the forehead.
Compared to previously, the shade of the symbol appeared a little darker.
Gently stroking the symbol with his right hand, Kuroto thought to himself, "There was no delay or stagnation in the process of storing the chakra, looks like the previous revision is working properly. Now that I can consciously store chakra without any trouble, I need to be able to do it subconsciously as well. Let's make sure that there are no problems while I store chakra subconsciously before moving to the last step, oh but before that, I need some rest."
With that decided, Kuroto took a few hours of rest and then started to test the next step.
Another week passed by.
This week, Kuroto tested the process of storing sub-consciously storing chakra in the Yin-seal. There were no problems and he quickly got used to the feeling of storing chakra both consciously and subconsciously, such that even while doing some other task his Chakra was being continuously stored in the Yin-seal.
With this, the second step was completed, and now Kuroto moved to the next step.
Now, Kuroto thoroughly tested the release of Chakra. Initially faced a little difficulty, but nothing that couldn't be dealt with. Slowly and steadily he got used to the feeling of releasing the stored Chakra as well, making sure that there was no problem in the release of chakra, he took a deep breath and weaved the hand signs, then released the Jutsu, 'Strength of a Hundred Seal!'
Immediately, black markings spread out from the diamond in the forehead and at the same time, he felt a surge of chakra wrapping around his body.
"There doesn't seem to be any problem in regards to the quality of chakra, as for the quantity, although there is a little loss, it's within an acceptable range. " He muttered, feeling the Chakra wrapping around his body, and added with a smile, "I suppose with this I can say that the Yin seal is completed and working properly."
Just when he was feeling proud of himself, suddenly something happened, "What?" He immediately turned around and tried to look at a distant place with his Tenseigan.
He was too shocked to realize that he was currently using a clone and can not use Tenseigan.
After being stunned for a while, he reacted, "Damn?" and quickly transferred his soul to his main body without caring about the 'Strength of a Hundred Seal!' or Yin seal testing, and activated his Tenseigan.
As soon as the Tenseigan was activated he could feel it, "That has to be it!"
…
Residence of Otsutsuki Clan, Moon
Panting heavily, Toneri took the towel from the puppet attendant beside him and wiped the sweat off his face.
He has been carrying out diligent training for a few years now.
Since the last meteorite attack on the Shinobi World, a s huge sense of crisis has enveloped Toneri's heart and he dare not relax his vigilance.
Toneri never imagined that there would be someone in the Shinobi World who could not only resist the falling meteorite but even sense his presence on the moon, overturning his precognition of the shinobi world.
After that incident, Toneri understood that if he wants to fulfil the wish of his ancestor, then he must become stronger because the way he is, he is no match against that person.
Therefore, he has been training diligently and steadily getting stronger.
"I must get stronger!" With such a thought in his mind, Toneri threw aside the towel and continued with his training.
Just as he had taken the stance, suddenly he sensed abnormal movement from the Giant Tenseigan in the temple of Hamura.
"What's going on?" Shocked and panicked, Toneri forgot about his training and quickly came to the temple.
Now at Hamura's temple, he found that the Giant Tenseigan–although sealed–seemed to be resonating with something.
"How could it resonate with something?" Confused and driven by curiosity, Toneri decided to temporarily lift the seal of Giant Tenseigan and dived his consciousness inside as he tried to find the source with which the Giant Tenseigan was resonating.
