Chapter 123: Insight into Divine Vacuum Attack

"Finally back!"

Inside Konoha Village.

Hyuga Makoto looked at the familiar surroundings around him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help turning his head to look at Kakashi beside him.

"Captain Kakashi, if you could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique a bit faster, it wouldn't have exhausted me so much."

After receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, they hurried directly back toward Konoha.

Moreover, to avoid trouble, Hyuga Makoto very decisively used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Fortunately, he had left quite a few coordinates along the way just in case, but after teleporting with so many people, he still couldn't help complaining.

"It consumes way too much of my Chakra, Captain Kakashi. You really need to work hard!"

"6"

Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't hide his deadpan eyes.

"I've already worked very hard, and now I'm just one step away. But even if I learn it, I don't think I could reach your level."

"Kakashi's Chakra cannot compare to yours."

Jiraiya patted Hyuga Makoto's shoulder from the side and said with a chuckle.

"If you made him do it, he'd probably have to enter the hospital to recuperate alongside the Fourth Raikage upon return."

"Do you guys still have the energy to talk about this?"

Tsunade glanced at the three white-haired men, curling her lips with a displeased expression all over her face.

"Hurry up! That guy is really dying. If we don't rush him to the hospital for treatment, we'll only be able to send a corpse back to Hidden Cloud Village!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jiraiya couldn't laugh anymore either; the Fourth Raikage's condition was simply too terrible.

Even with Tsunade helping to look after him along the way, this fellow had been in a state of coma the entire time.

If not for his faint heartbeat, they genuinely felt he could just be burned to ashes and sent back to Hidden Cloud Village.

"Rest assured, he won't die."

But at this moment, Hyuga Makoto tilted his head and spoke.

"Although he is weak, there is a very special power inside his body that hasn't dissipated. He will be fine."

"Oh?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, looking at Hyuga Makoto with some confusion.

"A special power? You mean..."

"I can't say for sure what it specifically is, but my Byakugan can see some special things."

Hyuga Makoto shrugged and casually fabricated an explanation.

"As long as a person is alive, those powers will always exist and will only disappear upon death. Even though he is in a miserable state, this power is still there, so he won't die."

"Hey, what you saw couldn't possibly be—"

Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly, and Tsunade also wore a look of utter disbelief.

"Your Byakugan can see the Yang Release?"

Yang Release has always existed within the human body, but ordinary people find it extremely difficult to mobilize and use, let alone see it!

How could they not be shocked that Hyuga Makoto could actually see this thing?

"Yang Release?"

Hyuga Makoto deliberately put on a bewildered expression, though he found it rather amusing inside.

What he saw was not Yang Release, but the Fire of Life, which ran much deeper than Yang Release!

This was a Domain that one could only possibly step into after mastering the Yin-Yang Release...

By intentionally revealing this now, he was simply making up an excuse for why his Yin Seal had become so strong.

Besides, he hadn't planned to hide it anyway; the stronger the strength he displayed, the more beneficial it would be for him!

"Perhaps. But shouldn't we carry him inside? Otherwise, he might really die, sigh."

"Tch, we really should send him to the hospital."

Tsunade's expression was still somewhat dazed, but upon hearing this sentence, she came back to her senses.

However, her heart was not so calm; Yang Release was truly not an ordinary power.

According to her second grandfather's speculation, her grand-grandfather's immense strength was very likely due to mastering the power of Yang Release!

Of course, all of this was just speculation; after all, her gambling-addicted grand-grandfather couldn't explain it clearly either.

Since Hyuga Makoto could "see" it, could he go a step further and master and use it?

"Otherwise, how could his attacks be so powerful?"

Of course, all of this was speculation, and she needed to go back and properly understand this kid.

Glancing at the still-dazed Jiraiya, Tsunade shifted her gaze toward Konoha Village, and after a long while, she let out a sigh.

"Good grief, back again huh..."

"Lady Tsunade, isn't it good to be back?"

Shizune asked with some confusion while holding Tonton. She was actually quite willing to return to Konoha.

But Tsunade did not answer. After remaining silent for a moment, she turned her head to look at Hyuga Makoto.

"Kid, when you have time, I hope to visit your Hyuga Clan. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Then I will welcome Lady Tsunade's arrival at any time."

Hyuga Makoto smiled and nodded. He knew that Tsunade must have many doubts regarding his Yin Seal.

Having a good discussion with her was not a bad thing for him either.

"Right, if there's nothing else, I think I'll head back first."

"Hey, you brat, are you trying to run away?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya instantly couldn't hold it together anymore.

"You beat the Fourth Raikage into such a state, aren't you going to go explain yourself?"

"At least let me rest for a bit. Wasn't it me consuming Chakra all the way back?"

Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow and let out a disdainful cold snort.

"Besides, having caused such a huge mess, shouldn't a teacher help share the burden for their Disciple?"

"6"

Jiraiya was almost laughed to anger. So you were actually making me take the blame?

Even though he knew his teacher wouldn't be angry with Hyuga Makoto, and might even be just as endlessly thrilled inside as he was,

still, the Fourth Raikage almost dying at Konoha's hands was a very troublesome matter.

"You guys go back and rest. Jiraiya and I will handle this matter."

But before Jiraiya could open his mouth, Tsunade directly made the decision.

"Good grief, as soon as we're back it's this kind of troublesome stuff. Jiraiya, you can explain it to the Old Man yourself!"

"6"

Jiraiya was truly exhausted this time; why did he feel like he was catching flak from both ends?

Yet he really had no way out, because when all was said and done, he was the person in charge of the operation!

"Alright, you guys go back. Tsunade and I will go see the Old Man."

With no other choice, Jiraiya had to take the blame proactively, which also satisfied Hyuga Makoto.

He wasn't worried about seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi stirring up any trouble; rather, he was much more concerned about his reward this time!

"The data on Divine Vacuum Attack..."

He hadn't expected that a random name he blurted out would actually trigger Black Zetsu into dropping something like this!

He hadn't had time to look at these data along the way, and he knew that Black Zetsu's version definitely wasn't as refined as Kaguya's.

Still, having something was better than nothing, especially since his true body currently lacked some offensive means!

"Although activating the Tenseigan allows me to use all kinds of super-powerful attacking abilities, I should leave those abilities for my Otsutsuki avatar."

Gentle Fist was completely sufficient for clearing out mooks and facing people whose strength wasn't too high.

But when encountering someone more formidable, skilled in Ninjutsu, and equipped with all sorts of messy abilities,

Gentle Fist really didn't cut it anymore. Even though he could deal with it through the Karma he created himself, the intensity was still a bit low after all.

"With these data, plus the Gentle Fist combined with my Yin-Yang Release, it will inevitably bring me new insights..."

Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto didn't stay long either. He smiled and greeted them.

"Then everyone, I'll head back first. Goodbye!"

As soon as his voice fell, his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

Uchiha Izumi watched this scene with some envy, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke.

"Then Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, Captain Kakashi, I'll also..."

"Go on, go on, you all go back."

Jiraiya waved his hand and spoke helplessly with a dejected face.

"Kakashi, you go back too. Leave the rest of the matters to us."

"Then we will take our leave."

Kakashi didn't refuse either. He and Uchiha Izumi bowed slightly before turning and leaving.

For a moment, only Tsunade and Jiraiya were left here.

"That kid is really not bad."

Watching the departed crowd, Tsunade spoke in a low voice at this moment.

"You guy, did you find another good Disciple again?"

"Indeed not bad."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and spoke with a grin.

"Not a single one of my Disciples is bad!"

"Tch, send this guy to the hospital first."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and turned to walk directly toward the hospital.

"Then you can think carefully about how to explain it to the Old Man."

"Hey, you really aren't going to help me?"

Seeing this, Jiraiya directly hoisted the Fourth Raikage onto his back and chased after her.

"At least help put in a good word for me. Didn't you see everything?"

"This matter is your problem, and I'm wondering if that brat is going to be led astray by you."

Tsunade let out a soft snort, then sized Jiraiya up suspiciously.

"He possesses the Byakugan, and you bastard are exceptionally perverted. You..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry to the hospital!"

Jiraiya instantly felt cold sweat dripping down; Tsunade's sharpness hadn't diminished at all compared to back then.

He suddenly felt a slight pain in his chest—that was the shadow Tsunade left him with back in the day!

He didn't dare spout nonsense now and just wanted to speed up and quickly get the Fourth Raikage delivered to the hospital.

"Hmm? What's going on here?"

However, when they arrived at the hospital, they instantly felt something was amiss.

They discovered that there seemed to be quite a few Anbu inside the hospital?

"Could it be that the Old Man with bad eyes and that old hag fell ill?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked with some confusion, while Jiraiya shook his head blankly.

"I don't know, I just got back too. Maybe that Old Man Danzo is kicking the bucket."

"Isn't that even better?"

Tsunade had no goodwill toward these Advisors. She rubbed her chin and said gloomily,

"Their hospital room grade is not low, and those kinds of rooms are few. The Raikage needs care even more right now; this is troublesome."

"What's so troublesome about that?"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes and immediately smiled mischievously.

"Just send him straight to their room. Anyway, they also wanted to meet this Raikage, didn't they?"

"6"

Tsunade was somewhat speechless, but Jiraiya went straight to action once he thought of it.

Seeing this fellow leap up, carrying the half-dead Raikage on his back, he ran toward the direction of the high-grade wards.

Then, expertly opening the window like a thief, his whole person instantly slipped inside.

"Good grief..."

Tsunade rubbed her brow; she didn't even know what to say about Jiraiya.

However, she wouldn't object either; disgusting those old fogies wasn't a bad thing.

"Jiraiya!"

But just as she was about to follow, a roar from Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly came from the top-floor ward, followed by Jiraiya's miserable screams.

"You bastard, what on earth are you doing?!"

"Ah? Old Man, why are you here?"

"Old Man was angered in here by you! How dare you run over here to scare Old Man?!"

"Stop, Old Man, don't hit me."

"Old Man is hitting none other than you!"

"Stop right now, the Fourth Raikage is about to be beaten to death by you!"

Hum— Accompanied by a surge of Chakra, Hyuga Makoto's figure instantly appeared inside his small cabin.

Then he sprawled flat across his bed and comfortably stretched lazily.

"As expected, it's still most comfortable here..."

Although his home was a bit small, he had gotten used to living there for so many years.

"And someone has come here to clean up too; I wonder if it was Hinata or Neji."

Sitting up, Hyuga Makoto looked around and then smiled.

These two little guys were already eight or nine years old. Barring accidents, in another four or five years, it would be time for them to graduate.

"Time really passes quickly..."

Hyuga Makoto rubbed his chin. Without realizing it, he had already been in this world for nearly fourteen or fifteen years.

Moreover, his current development was pretty good; one could even say that aside from being a bit unlucky to be born in the Branch House, he hadn't had it bad at all.

"The biggest regret is that there's no such thing as Makoto's Ninja Academy grades not being very ideal..."

Shaking his head, Hyuga Makoto suddenly wondered what Neji would do if the kid found out that he had dealt with the Fourth Raikage and planned to trade for his father's remains.

"He should at least call me adoptive father, right?"

Hyuga Makoto gave a soft snort. Hyuga Hizashi had taken quite good care of him back then, so he would naturally take good care of Neji.

And since he treated him so well, this fellow should at least soften his stance verbally, right?

"Otherwise, you'll be tasting the iron fist of my Divine Vacuum Attack!"

Shaking his head, Hyuga Makoto quickly focused his attention on the data in his mind.

He didn't have the Kekkei Mōra, so it was impossible for him to use the genuine Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

However, through the data and modifying it with Yin-Yang Release, he could still manage to create something suitable for himself!

"Furthermore, is the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack just a single move, or does it have eighty forms?"

This question had left Hyuga Makoto somewhat puzzled.

He remembered that when Kaguya used this move, those Chakra-condensed fists were flying all over the sky!

"And Gentle Fist is actually derived from the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. It's hard to say whether there are actually many variations within it..."

Hyuga Makoto muttered inwardly, but he quickly stopped overthinking it.

Because the information in his mind had already begun to permeate, and besides, no matter how many there were, he could find a way to cobble together eighty forms!

He slowly closed his eyes and began to earnestly absorb and study the information in his mind.

But as his deep study continued, a layer of pulsing Chakra slowly appeared on his body!

This Chakra was incomparably dense and intensely powerful.

Moreover, around this Chakra, the space vaguely began to distort...
