Eating the roast chicken, Kenshi started thinking about going out tomorrow.
This roast chicken was the last food he had tonight.
All the food he had brought with him before was gone.
He still had ration pills, but those were for emergencies. He couldn't eat them as his regular meals.
He had to go out and bring food back.
"This time, I need to bring enough food for a month."
Kenshi thought to himself.
Bring more, stay hidden longer, and avoid being targeted by Konoha ninjas again.
After finishing the roast chicken, he cleaned up the table and threw the garbage aside. A flock of "chirp, chirp..." seabirds suddenly arrived, scrambling for the scraps of meat on the board.
Boom... At that moment, Kenshi unleashed a Water Release jutsu from the sky, washing himself while also giving the nearby birds a bath.
Chirp, chirp... The birds, drenched in water, flew away and shook their feathers before flying back, continuing to scavenge.
Kenshi didn't chase the seabirds away.
Although their chirping was a bit noisy, it actually added a bit of joy for Kenshi, who was alone.
It wasn't surprising that this Venomous Snake Island could support so many venomous snakes.
Many migratory birds would stop here, providing an abundance of food for the snakes.
Now that Kenshi had cleared out all the venomous snakes on Venomous Snake Island, the birds that stayed here had no natural enemies and had become more numerous.
With these birds to keep him company, Kenshi wouldn't be too lonely.
After a while, the scraps of meat on the ground were cleared away.
Kenshi watched with satisfaction, as if he were watching pets. He unleashed a Water Release jutsu to clean the floor.
Then, naked, Kenshi created two shadow clones.
The two shadow clones surrounded Kenshi, their fingers spread open, Chakra gathering at their fingertips. They moved their hands over Kenshi's body, up and down... carving sealing jutsu patterns.
Devouring Sealing Formation!
This was the sealing jutsu pattern that the two shadow clones were carving on Kenshi's body.
Feeling the shadow clones' Chakra-infused fingertips pressing against his skin, it was like applying menthol balm and getting a massage.
One word - "Comfortable."
Two words - "Very comfortable."
Half an hour later, the massage... no, the carving of the Devouring Sealing Formation pattern was complete. Kenshi tried to activate it.
As expected, there was no reaction.
Kenshi wasn't discouraged. He retracted his shadow clones, stretched out his arms, and moved his body. The shadow clones had given him a massage, and his body had indeed loosened up. He felt refreshed.
Back in the house, Kenshi put on his clothes and pants.
"I need to find someone from the Uzumaki clan to learn some sealing jutsu knowledge." Kenshi thought to himself.
He wanted to copy the Devouring Sealing Formation he had seen in the Root base onto his own body, creating a sealing space for storing Chakra.
This way, he could store the Chakra he normally condensed in the Dead Gate acupoint space and his dantian once they were full, and he could use it to save his life when necessary.
But after shrinking and transplanting it onto his body, it hadn't been successful. It might have been the wrong location or some other reason. The Devouring Sealing Formation hadn't been carved successfully.
For days, he had tried every day. Now, it had become a post-dinner routine for his shadow clones to massage his real body.
Kenshi realized that he needed to learn some sealing jutsu knowledge to better utilize his ability to sense, copy, and condense sealing jutsu Chakra.
What is the strongest jutsu in the ninja world?
Besides spatial jutsu, it must be sealing jutsu.
Even the mighty Kaguya Ōtsutsuki fell victim to sealing jutsu.
Although Kenshi could easily copy the sealing jutsu Chakra that invaded his body, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be sealed by sealing jutsu.
Just look at the Storage Space Chakra.
If Kenshi were to be directly pulled into a sealing jutsu space similar to the black water flowing space, he wouldn't have a chance to copy the complete sealing jutsu Chakra. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to escape.
So, Kenshi had never given up on sealing jutsu.
But right now, he was like a warrior who could easily copy a sword. He knew how to use a sword, but he didn't know how it was forged.
He needed to learn and understand the knowledge of sealing jutsu so that he could know himself and his enemy and not be easily sealed.
"But... I'll worry about that in four years."
Kenshi put on his clothes, came outside, lay down on the beach chair, and looked at the moon in the sky, enjoying the moonlight that belonged only to him.
Four years.
Kenshi's thoughts raced. He decided to practice hard on this island for four years.
He was twelve years old now. In four years, he would be sixteen.
By then, his physical growth would officially enter its peak period.
He believed that after four years of physical training, even if his body didn't reach Hashirama's strength, it would give him Chakra reserves no less than Kushina's.
As long as his body truly broke its limiter and could surpass the limits of his original talent.
By then, with twenty times the Chakra of an ordinary jōnin, plus his flying jutsu, Kenshi would be able to roam the ninja world.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about being outrun.
By then, he could use his ability to sense, copy, and condense other people's jutsu Chakra to hunt down other ninjas with powerful kekkei genkai abilities.
Lava Release.
Boiling Release.
Explosion Release.
The more advanced Dust Release.
And the gravitational and repulsive force abilities of Nagato's Rinnegan, the Deva Path. He wondered if he could copy them.
If he could, Kenshi's strength would reach the current strongest level in the ninja world.
Then... the Third Hokage? Konoha? Minato?
Kenshi had plenty of time to let them see the color of the hatred in his heart.
The next morning.
Kenshi got up, washed up, and went to the foot of the mountain.
With a thought, he activated the Wood Release.
A tree sprouted from the ground and appeared in front of Kenshi. Kenshi took out a sealing scroll, placed it in the groove at the front of the tree, then controlled the tree to wrap around the sealing scroll and retract it back into the ground, burying it.
Kenshi summoned the Black Iron giant eagle and flew into the sky.
He sensed it. It was very clear.
The sealing scroll buried underground had his Chakra. His Chakra contained his fused consciousness. It was connected to him, and it was clear. It hadn't weakened because it was buried underground.
This way, Venomous Snake Island was like a Log Pose. Kenshi didn't have to worry about going out and not being able to find his way back to Venomous Snake Island.
Boom, boom, boom... The Black Iron giant eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the direction where the sun was rising.
With the sealing scroll on Venomous Snake Island as a connection, Kenshi didn't have to worry about his flight direction being off. As long as he kept away from the sealing scroll, his direction wouldn't be wrong.
...
Sea of War, near the Land of Lightning side of the sea.
An iron-clad steam ship was sailing "woo woo" with a flock of seabirds circling above it.
On the deck of the bow, the Third Raikage was looking out at the distance.
Behind him, a middle-aged man with thick white hair, wearing a Cloud headband, was holding a bucket full of small fish in one hand. With the other, he picked up a small fish from the bucket and fed it to the seabird on his shoulder.
The seabird quickly snatched the small fish and swallowed it. Then, it tilted its head and whispered in the white-haired man's ear, as if it was talking to him.
The man seemed to understand what the seabird was saying. He listened carefully.
After a while, the seabird finished speaking, tilted its head to the side, and looked down. Its gaze was fixed on the small fish in the bucket in the man's left hand.
The man picked up another small fish and fed it to the seabird.
After finishing it, the seabird reluctantly flew away.
Then, many seabirds from the flock circling above the iron ship quickly flew down. But in the end, only one landed on the man's shoulder first. The other seabirds, seeing this, reluctantly flew back to the sky above the bow and waited.
The man repeated his previous actions. He took a small fish from the bucket and fed it to the seabird, then listened to its story. After it finished, he fed the seabird another fish.
Until a pure black seabird chirped on his shoulder, the middle-aged man's eyes finally became serious.
"Ninja Technique - Empathy Vision."
The middle-aged man instantly used a special jutsu. Then, he closed his eyes, and the black seabird on his shoulder instantly turned white, entering a trance.
"Found him!"
The Third Raikage turned around, looking at the middle-aged man's actions. His heart skipped a beat, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
After six days of searching, they finally had a lead on that brat.
Over time, Konoha had gradually released information about Kenshi. Combined with the Cloud's own intelligence system, they had now confirmed that Kenshi was just a twelve-year-old boy.
When he first heard Kenshi's age, the Third Raikage was shocked.
A boy of such an age could actually hold his own against Uzumaki Mito, that powerful woman. No matter what price he had paid, his talent was hard to ignore.
Give that boy time, and the ninja world would undoubtedly produce another top-level powerhouse like the Half-God of the Ninja World.
The Third Raikage was very fortunate that he was the one who had personally taken action this time.
He wouldn't give Kenshi, that kid, a chance to grow. He would obediently become a source of nourishment for the Cloud's growth.
