"Impossible!"
Yamanaka Koyu stared at Kenshi in disbelief, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" The Third Hokage stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and asked.
Yamanaka Koyu turned back, retreated to the side of the Third Hokage, and looked at Kenshi again, as if he were looking at an incredible creature, and said in surprise, "Hokage-sama, my chakra can't invade his chakra to use the Mind Body Technique - Memory Exploration Technique."
"Impossible?" The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to Yamanaka Koyu, his face full of questions.
The Mind Body Technique was a secret technique that the Yamanaka clan was proud of. Even he himself could be tricked if he wasn't careful. Now, he was being told that a person who couldn't resist had resisted the Mind Body Technique.
How was that possible?
The Third Hokage, not believing it, stepped forward, his index and middle fingers together, gathering chakra and pointing it at the back of Kenshi's neck. Instantly, countless black sealing jutsu patterns appeared on Kenshi's skin.
After confirming that the sealing jutsu on Kenshi was still there, the Third Hokage's expression became serious, and the wrinkles on his brows deepened.
"His chakra is sealed by the Four-Symbol Seal."
The Four-Symbol Seal was a powerful sealing jutsu that could seal the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra. It could not only seal and confine souls, but also completely seal and confine chakra.
Once sealed by the Four-Symbol Seal, the chakra within the sealed person couldn't be mobilized at all, they could only be slaughtered.
In this situation, it was like someone tied your hands and feet to a fixed spot, and then told you to kill, but you said you couldn't kill, and you were even repelled.
The Third Hokage couldn't understand. He looked at Yamanaka Koyu, suspecting that he was being deliberately misled, but there was no reason for that.
The Yamanaka clan had been close to their Sarutobi clan since the Warring States Period, and they were his most steadfast allies in solidifying his position as Hokage.
He even trusted them with the secret of the Soul Possession Technique, the technique of immortality, and entrusted them with reading the relevant information.
This showed how much he trusted Yamanaka Koyu.
Yamanaka Koyu had no reason to deceive him.
But how could a person who couldn't even mobilize a single bit of chakra resist the Mind Body Technique? The Third Hokage couldn't figure it out.
"Hokage-sama, I really didn't lie to you!"
Seeing the Third Hokage's doubting gaze, Yamanaka Koyu quickly explained the reason.
"Hokage-sama, the chakra in this person's body has a very strong self-awareness. It can not only easily distinguish my chakra, but also makes his own chakra like a steel rope with no gaps. My chakra is like flowing water, no matter how I try to penetrate, I can't get through."
"Unless..." Yamanaka Koyu looked at the Third Hokage and tentatively asked, "Can he die?"
"He can't die." The Third Hokage immediately shook his head. Before he could get his hands on the improved Spirit Transformation Technique, this person couldn't die.
"Then I can't do anything." Yamanaka Koyu shook his head.
The reason why their Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Technique was a secret technique, and other ninjas couldn't learn it even if they saw the hand seals, was because the Mind Body Technique was a secret technique that involved infusing the special Mind Body Technique chakra that they condensed into the enemy's chakra, transferring the enemy's consciousness to other animals or specific objects, then invading the enemy's body with their own consciousness, and then controlling the enemy's body.
The key point is to condense the special Mind Body Technique chakra that can penetrate the enemy's chakra.
Without this special Mind Body Technique chakra, even if you know the hand seals of the Mind Body Technique, you can't activate it.
This shows how special the Mind Body Technique chakra is.
Its specialness lies in its powerful penetration.
The Mind Body Technique chakra that penetrates the enemy's chakra can flow with the enemy's chakra to the enemy's brain, allowing you to read the enemy's memories.
This is the origin of the Mind Body Technique - Memory Exploration Technique.
Of course, if it's a dead person, it's even simpler and more brutal. You can directly use the Mind Body Technique chakra to invade the dead person's brain and read the remaining memories in their brain.
Yamanaka Koyu asked the Third Hokage if the target could die for this reason.
But he didn't know that the child in front of him had been possessed by someone using the Spirit Transformation Technique, the Third Hokage hadn't told him.
If Kenshi was dead and the soul of the possessor had dissipated, then even if he read Kenshi's brain memories, he would only get Kenshi's memories, not the possessor's memories.
Only if Kenshi was alive could he read the possessor's memories by penetrating their chakra.
So, Kenshi had to be alive.
But to ensure that he could read the enemy's memories while keeping the enemy alive, he could only penetrate the enemy's chakra, not directly force his way into the enemy's brain.
Otherwise, it would conflict with the enemy's chakra.
The result would be that the enemy's brain would be scrambled like tofu and they would die.
The problem now was that the target's chakra had a strong self-awareness. Yamanaka Koyu's chakra hadn't even penetrated before it was thrown out by the target's chakra.
The key was that he had no way to deal with it.
He could feel that the target's chakra was like a living being, with a strong self-awareness, and it could clearly sense his chakra invading.
As a result, his Mind Body Technique couldn't be used.
It could be said that this person was the natural enemy of their Yamanaka clan, immune to the Mind Body Technique.
Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Yamanaka Koyu's heart.
"This kind of person... is too dangerous."
"I must figure out how he made his chakra have such a strong self-awareness."
Yamanaka Koyu thought to himself.
On the Third Hokage's side, after Yamanaka Koyu's explanation, he believed it, but there were still too many things he didn't understand.
Chakra with a strong self-awareness?
How is that possible?
Chakra with a strong self-awareness would have all sorts of strange abilities, allowing it to resist the Mind Body Technique of an elite Jonin from the Yamanaka clan, even when its chakra was sealed, relying on instinct?
Could this be the secret to why he could maintain high-speed chakra condensation all the time?
But... through special methods, you can condense a portion of chakra into a chakra clone, like a clone, with independent clone consciousness.
But that's actually just an application of the Shadow Clone Technique.
And it requires a lot of chakra to be gathered.
As Koyu said, the target's chakra is every bit of it having a strong self-awareness.
Only then could it sense and block the penetration of the Mind Body Technique chakra.
But how could a human being do that?
Could it be that the improved Spirit Transformation Technique greatly strengthened the soul, allowing each part of their chakra to have a strong self-awareness?
Perhaps that's really the case.
Thinking about it, the Third Hokage's eyes suddenly lit up.
The reason why the ninjas who used the Spirit Transformation Technique to possess others in the Warring States Period didn't live for more than a year was because after possessing someone, the soul and the body were incompatible. During the adaptation process, the soul would be greatly worn down and consumed.
This led to the fact that every ninja who used the Spirit Transformation Technique to possess another person's body and be reborn would eventually die within a year due to excessive soul wear and tear during the adaptation period.
But if the improved Spirit Transformation Technique could greatly enhance the strength of the soul, making the soul wear and tear during the adaptation period insignificant, or even strengthening it, then after possessing someone, they wouldn't have to worry about the soul being worn down and not living long.
Even because the improved Spirit Transformation Technique could continue to strengthen the soul, they could continuously possess and be reborn, achieving true immortality.
That's right!
That must be it!
The more the Third Hokage thought about it, the more he believed that he had discovered the secret of the powerful ninja who had possessed Kenshi.
He had to get his hands on this secret.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said to Yamanaka Koyu, "Koyu, use a genjutsu to induce it."
