Chapter 829: Tsunade's Curiosity!
As soon as he reached his house, Fujin entered the basement. Despite his returning to his home after nearly a month, a Shadow Clone was sitting at the center of the basement with a pot placed in front of him.
Of course, no Shadow Clone could sustain itself for a month. The reason why there was still one there was that Fujin regularly sent Shadow Clones back to his house to keep an eye on Shukaku's chakra.
Since the pot needed to absorb nature energy, he didn't keep it with him. With strong ninjas like Renjiro staying around him along with several Hyuga ninjas and other sensors, Shukaku's chakra would have been discovered no matter how careful Fujin was.
Seeing Fujin, the clone dispelled himself and sent the memories and chakra back to Fujin. Fujin carefully observed the pot as he sighed, 'It is way too slow now...'
As he expected, the chakra grew. Unfortunately, it is way too slow. Fujin thought, 'The rate at which it increased initially was still decent.
I had around 5% of Shukaku's chakra and it increased by 20% in just 3 days, taking the amount of Shukaku's chakra in the pot to 6%. It took another week to increase to 7%. The rate dropped drastically after that and I still have only around 7.5% of Shukaku's chakra. I have a feeling that even if I wait for over a year, the amount still wouldn't reach 10%...'
The drastic fall in its growth rate discouraged Fujin from waiting any longer. The gains didn't justify the amount of time needed.
Fujin thought, 'Anyway, the good thing is that the chakra didn't develop sentience. Even though the chakra is quite bale and I can feel Shukaku's hatred, it's not an issue since it can't think or act. There shouldn't be any complications with the seal though I need to monitor whether the vile nature and hatred would affect me. Still, I wonder how much chakra is needed before it can develop sentience…'
Fujin thought for a bit but couldn't make an estimate due to the limited data with him. He muttered, "Leave it. The next time I target any Tailed Beast, I'll try to steal more chakra. It'll be a good way to learn how sentience can affect my seal. That said…"
