28 Ryumyaku

"Amekage has decided that you will go to Konoha on behalf of Amegakure. However, since you had direct contact with the Fourth Hokage last time in the Kingdom of Roran, you are requested to participate in the Hokage succession ceremony and discuss the alliance, which is important." Said Hanzo, expressing his trust and expectations for Satoru.

When Satoru heard this, he felt a bit surprised: "Does Yahiko trust me so much?"

Seeing his reaction, a smile appeared on Hanzo's face: "Since you defeated Nagato a few days ago, no one in Amegakure dares to question your strength and reputation. Even I, who used to be a Demigod, was ignored by the Akatsuki organization some time ago. But now, your reputation in the village is at its peak, and everyone knows it."

Satoru shook his head lightly: "I don't care about these false names."

His eyes looked into the distance, as if he had seen the prosperous land of Konoha.

He tucked the scroll away and said to Hanzo, "I understand, go back and tell Yahiko that I will participate on time."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo nodded, then respectfully withdrew.

"Konoha..." As Hanzo's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Satoru stood alone in the empty corridor.

He pronounced the name in his heart: "Namikaze Minato, the man with yellow hair..."

He whispered softly to himself, trying to evoke forgotten past events from the depths of his memory.

However, before he could finish speaking, an inexplicable light suddenly appeared in his mind, touching some important memories, but disappearing without a trace in an instant.

An inexplicable anxiety silently grew in Satoru's heart.

He frowned, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Something was wrong.

At this moment, a strange power suddenly burst out from his body. Satoru was surprised to feel waves of power, and a slight uncertainty appeared in his eyes.

"What is this?"

He was full of confusion.

He didn't have time to deeply think about the source of this power, and his body quickly disappeared from the spot pushed by this power.

The next moment, he appeared in the dense forest outside Amegakure.

The air here was humid, yet Satoru felt his body slightly warm.

He quickly activated his Rikugan to explore the depths of his body. His eyes passed through his abdomen and saw a small lavender sphere there.

This small sphere continuously sent unknown power to the meridians throughout his body.

"What is this?"

He felt the sphere. Suddenly, a familiar feeling came from the sphere, making his heart beat fast for a moment.

He had just felt this familiar feeling not long ago.

"Ryumyaku...?"

Satoru was very surprised.

Wasn't Ryumyaku sealed?

There was no mistake, the Rikugan told him that this was Ryumyaku.

That unique aura, that mysterious power was Ryumyaku.

Satoru tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He continued to scan with the Rikugan, immersing his mind in the power within his body.

If what was sealed was indeed Ryumyaku, then what power was in his body?

Through the insight of the Rikugan, he felt that power, chakra condensed into substance, now condensed into his body.

Every heartbeat and every breath were closely related to this power.

Satoru felt his body filled with this power, and every cell in his body rejoiced.

He was surprised to find that his chakra had undergone a qualitative leap compared to before.

He knew that the increase in strength did not come from himself, but from the Ryumyaku power in his body.

Due to his special physique, Satoru could control chakra very well and activate the Limitless Technique, with minimal power, but Cursed Energy and chakra were different.

He needed to focus his chakra day by day, otherwise, after consumption, it would be difficult to replenish it.

Therefore, he didn't always activate Infinity.

However, the Ryumyaku currently seemed to be an endless source of energy, continuously flowing chakra into his body.

This discovery gave Satoru a bold idea.

Perhaps, with the support of Ryumyaku, the speed of his chakra consumption would not be able to match the speed of Ryumyaku given to him.

Under precise control of the Rikugan, when ordinary people used ninjutsu, the consumption ratio of ninjutsu and chakra was usually 1:10. This meant that every time ninjutsu was consumed, ten original chakras would decrease to nine.

But for Satoru, because of the Rikugan and his unique training methods, the previous ratio was only 0.1:100.

In other words, he could produce powerful Cursed Techniques with very low chakra consumption.

But now, with the endless energy source of Ryumyaku, the situation had dramatically changed.

The amount of chakra possessed by Ryumyaku was extraordinarily large, making Satoru's ratio 0.1:1000 when using Cursed Techniques, and in some cases, it could even reach 0.1:10000.

This meant that the current Cursed Techniques were tens or even hundreds of times better than before with the same chakra consumption, and the consumption could be ignored.

It should be mentioned that condensing chakra was a daily homework for Satoru.

Before, even though he had a lot of chakra, it was still limited compared to chakra consumption.

Now, Satoru no longer needed to worry about chakra consumption and condensation.

"Infinity."

The world around him seemed to move slowly.

Raindrops fell on his head, no longer making loud beating sounds, but moving slowly like snails until they stopped.

Satoru smiled satisfactorily in his heart. Infinity flowed through his entire body at this moment, making him feel a comfort that he had never felt before.

However, a question arose in his mind. Ryumyaku was sealed by Sara, why did it appear in his body now? He remembered clearly that he fainted at that time...

Fainted?

This thought made Satoru instantly alert. Was there anyone or anything else in this world that could make him faint?

He was confident in his own strength, what secret was hidden behind this sudden fainting?

He realized that there might be a more complicated truth hidden in the journey to the Kingdom of Roran.

Behind all that, it seemed that there were invisible hands controlling it, forcing him to be more vigilant.
