Chapter 181: Needs to Be Strong
"Er... well, let's take a look first," the leader of the Sealing Team said cautiously. He didn't want to make any rash promises, knowing the seriousness of the matter. If something went wrong, he couldn't afford to take the blame.
"Okay," Blue B agreed readily.
He stepped forward to the leader of the Sealing Team, removing his shirt to reveal a large seal on his chest. The ends of the seal had visibly shrunk, indicating that the Eight-Tails had been breaking through for quite some time.
Kawakaze leaned in curiously to observe the seal. Its pattern was significantly different from the Eight Trigrams Seal he was familiar with. While his limited knowledge of Fūinjutsu didn't allow him to immediately see a way to break it, he wasn't concerned.
If I can't, Orochimaru surely can.
"The situation is not very optimistic. For now, we can only stabilize your seal. Strengthening the Iron Armor Seal will require more time to study," the squad leader said after placing his hands on Blue B's chest and sensing the seal's condition.
After the fall of the Land of Whirlpools, Kumogakure hadn't gained much in terms of Fūinjutsu resources. Otherwise, their situation wouldn't have been this dire.
"Okay, let's stabilize it for now," Blue B said. "I'll make time to cooperate with your research soon."
Blue B was afraid of death and worried about the potential devastation his rampage could bring to the village. This matter had clearly weighed heavily on him.
"Then I'll trouble you," the leader of the Sealing Team said as he began his work.
Kawakaze watched as the leader formed several seals and pressed one hand firmly against Blue B's chest in a Tsume. A strange Chakra flowed into the seals on Blue B's body, causing the shrunken ends of the pattern to extend and reconnect.
