Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 296: Breaking the Seal

With a direction, both speculation and research became much easier. As Ishiro and Akino Atsumi thought along the lines of space-time, many previously incomprehensible structures suddenly became clear.

After half a day of this semi-research, semi-speculation, the functions of these runes were mostly figured out by the two of them. At the same time, the purpose of this seal was also deduced.

As for Riori Uzumaki and Kiyoshi Ishizawa, since they couldn't understand it at all, they had long since gone back to continue their own training.

Ishiro guessed that inside the seal should be a gateway connecting to another dimension. The purpose of the seal was to isolate the connection between that other space and the ninja world.

What on earth was on the other side of the passage? Ishiro was very curious. At this moment, Ishiro was somewhat hesitant about whether to break this seal.

What if, after this seal was broken, a world-destroying monster came out from the other side?

However, after some thought, Ishiro still decided to break the seal.

If this were in the Land of Earth, Ishiro would definitely think twice. But this was in the Land of Whirlpools, on the other side of the Land of Fire. Even if there was danger, Konoha, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure were at the forefront.

Among the five great nations, the Land of Earth was the farthest from the Land of Whirlpools.

Thinking of this, Ishiro created two Shadow Clones. One Shadow Clone took the three disciples and his main body to wait at a high altitude, ready to flee immediately if anything happened.

The other Shadow Clone was on the ground, ready to cast ninjutsu at any time to interfere with any possible enemies that might come out, preparing to buy time for the main body to escape.

After getting ready, Ishiro's main body began to cast the ninjutsu: "Light Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu."

A blue light flashed, and that seal was directly pierced with a huge hole. The remaining parts of the seal flickered a few times and then completely disintegrated.

With the seal's concealment gone, a black hole appeared at the bottom of the pit.

Seeing this, Ishiro's main body began to circulate chakra, ready to flee at any moment, while the Shadow Clone below began to slowly approach the black hole.

The process was not long. After a short while, the Shadow Clone reached the entrance of the hole. Seeing nothing coming out, the Shadow Clone jumped right in.

Very quickly, the Shadow Clone that entered dissipated. Sensing the clone's memories returning so quickly, Ishiro was first startled. Could there be danger right at the entrance of the black hole?

Just as he was about to run, the memories of the Shadow Clone stopped him.

That feeling was... gravity? To be precise, it was super-strong gravity. After the Shadow Clone entered, it couldn't even stand steadily and was directly smashed face-first onto the ground.

Then the Shadow Clone dissipated.

Could it be that inside this seal was a space with super-strong gravity?

Wait, a gravity space? Could this be the gravity space among those other dimensions that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could travel through via Yomotsu Hirasaka?

Thinking of this, Ishiro created another Shadow Clone. This time, the clone used the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu with all its might. The clone, using the jutsu, flew into the black hole as requested by Ishiro.

This time, the Shadow Clone did not dissipate so quickly but was only actively dispelled by the clone itself after a long while.

"It really is a gravity space." How on earth did the Uzumaki clan do it? They could even locate other dimensions?

After the alarm was lifted, Ishiro planned to go down and see for himself.

However, although there was no one else inside, the super-heavy gravity was dangerous enough. Even if he wanted to go in, he had to make some preparations.

His current state was definitely not okay. Having created Shadow Clones several times, Ishiro's chakra amount was clearly insufficient, and after many consecutive days of studying the seal, his mental state was also not good.

It was better to rest for a night first.

The next day, Ishiro, having recovered to his optimal state, first entered Sage Mode, and then decisively flew into the black hole.

The moment he entered the black hole, Ishiro felt a huge gravitational pull.

At this time, Ishiro had cast the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu, but it still couldn't counteract the effect of the super-strong gravity, and he quickly fell downwards.

However, Ishiro, who was prepared, was not flustered. He tried his best to adjust his body's posture in the air, something he was good at.

Soon, Ishiro landed on the ground.

Even though Ishiro had been constantly adjusting his form, he was still on his stomach after landing.

However, Ishiro was currently enhanced by Sage Mode. In Sage Mode, Ishiro's strength was far greater than usual.

After struggling to get up from the ground, Ishiro tried to jump and found it was too difficult for him. Just to straighten his legs after bending them required overcoming the gravity bit by bit; how could he jump?

"Sage Art - Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"

One could still cast ninjutsu in the gravity space. Ishiro had confirmed this the day before through a Shadow Clone; otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to come in.

Ishiro cast an earth wall under his feet, successfully pushing himself up.

However, limited by the super-strong gravity, the earth wall enhanced by his Sage Art was not too high. This level was far from reaching the effect of the A-rank ninjutsu, Earth Style: Earth Flow Fortress.

So Ishiro continued to cast Earth Style Wall. After continuously casting more than a dozen, Ishiro finally raised the ground to near the entrance.

Because this was his first time entering with his main body and he was afraid his disciples outside would be worried, Ishiro didn't stay inside for long but immediately walked out.

Seeing Ishiro come out, the three little ones all breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Ishiro smiled faintly, gave the three a few instructions, and then entered the gravity space again.

This space, for Ishiro, was a treasure land. Such a continuous place where one could feel the existence of gravity was too rare. It was especially easy for Ishiro to train gravity-related ninjutsu here.

In the gravity environment of the ninja world, people living in it couldn't feel it, unless they fell from a high altitude, only then would the feeling of weightlessness let people experience some of it.

But in this space, Ishiro could constantly feel immense gravity. It was as if someone was pointing and guiding him in gravity ninjutsu, and it was even a demonstrative guidance. As long as Ishiro carefully experienced the gravity here, which was different from the outside world, he could improve his proficiency in gravity-type ninjutsu.

He first practiced the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu and the Weighted Rock Jutsu. When Ishiro felt his proficiency in these two ninjutsu had reached a limit, he began to train in two new S-rank ninjutsu: the Super Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu and the Super Weighted Rock Jutsu.

The process was very smooth. These two S-rank ninjutsu were originally upgraded versions of the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu and Weighted Rock Jutsu. Learning them in this environment, everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

Then came Bansho Ten'in and Shinra Tensei. These two ninjutsu were more difficult to learn because the previous ones were gravity ninjutsu, which were incredibly compatible with the environment. But these two were purely attraction/repulsion ninjutsu.

Gravity is related to attraction, but they are not completely equivalent.

However, Ishiro's gains were still great. The power and casting distance of Bansho Ten'in, a ninjutsu he was already quite good at, were both improved.

And the biggest gain was Shinra Tensei. This ninjutsu, although it was S-rank, was rarely used by Ishiro. For no other reason than that its power was too small. When he first learned it, Shinra Tensei only had the power of a C-rank ninjutsu.

Ishiro used Shinra Tensei mostly to accelerate kunai.

Later, Ishiro's progress in gravity-type ninjutsu had been slow. It was only in the past year, when Ishiro had calmed down and not left the village, that he had slightly improved it while organizing various ninjutsu.

This time, Ishiro had finally made a qualitative leap with Shinra Tensei.

Ishiro felt that the power of his Shinra Tensei now surpassed most B-rank ninjutsu and was approaching A-rank.

No wonder Nagato liked to use Shinra Tensei against enemies; it was just too convenient and practical.

A Shinra Tensei that required no hand seals and could be used at will—if its power was also great, why use other ninjutsu?

It was just like how Ishiro had used Porcelain Release for a period; it was simply because it was convenient to use. The ever-changing Porcelain Release was too easy for dealing with enemies.

In the gravity space, practicing one ninjutsu after another, Ishiro was full of gains.

Of course, in this space, Ishiro didn't dare to use the Weighted Rock Jutsu on himself, only daring to experiment on objects around him.

This training process was very fast. In just three short days, Ishiro was able to fly in this space using the Super Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu.

Having reached this step, Ishiro no longer trained but chose to leave directly.

Flying out of this space, Ishiro once again concealed the black hole, then used Earth Release again to backfill this deep pit. Although this simple and crude handling of his couldn't compare to the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu, it was better than nothing.

After finishing, Ishiro led his three disciples and left Uzushiogakure.

On the way back, Ishiro also took a detour to retrieve the scroll hidden by the intelligence ninja, thus completing his mission to the Land of Whirlpools.

Because they had been delayed for too long in Uzushiogakure, on the way back, the four of them chose to fly.

Because his training in gravity in the gravity space had yielded results, the flight speed of Ishiro's Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu was also much faster.

Ishiro hadn't forgotten his promise to the school of sharks, so he didn't return directly to Iwagakure but came to the place where the sharks had gathered before.

Seeing Ishiro's group finally return, the large shark, Yuko, was very happy. She immediately swam up to meet them and had a conversation with Kiyoshi Ishizawa.

Then Ishiro led several hundred sharks and headed towards the Land of the Moon.

For Ishiro to bring the school of sharks back to the coast of the Land of Earth, there were two choices. One was to go around the Land of Lightning from the outside. This route was entirely at sea, but it took too long.

The other route was to cross the Land of the Moon. This route was originally impassable for the school of sharks because the seas on the left and right sides of the Land of the Moon were not connected.

But Ishiro said, "This is simple. If you can't swim, then fly."

To directly fly these several hundred sharks back to the Land of Earth would definitely exhaust him to death. But if it was just crossing one Land of the Moon, Ishiro said, it would be a piece of cake.

However, Ishiro had never been known for his chakra amount, so with the idea of saving a little whenever he could, Ishiro, taking advantage of the night, had the school of sharks first follow the rivers of the Land of the Moon inland. When they really couldn't swim any further, he would then use the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu to send the sharks, one by one, into the sea on the other side.

Although Ishiro's Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu had improved a lot, he was still exhausted enough.

Fortunately, he finally got all the sharks in place before dawn.
