Late at night.
Outside a bustling town.
Kenshi appeared on a large tree halfway up a mountainside, looking down at the town below, which was bisected by a river.
It had been four hours since Kenshi escaped from Konoha. The moon had already passed over the mountaintop, and a faint, blurry light was beginning to appear on the horizon.
Dawn was approaching.
Kenshi had to grab some food quickly.
He had passed by many villages along the way, but there wasn't a single manor with oil lamps lit so late at night.
Clearly, those villages weren't wealthy enough.
But the town below, in the surrounding darkness, had a manor with oil lamps hanging everywhere, as bright as day. It was clearly the residence of a rich and powerful family.
It was likely the location of the noble's mansion in this town.
Only this kind of noble mansion would have food available for Kenshi to enjoy at this time.
"Whizz!"
Kenshi leaped from the tree branch and headed towards the brightly lit mansion in the town below.
"Gurgling!"
Kenshi's stomach rumbled uncontrollably. He was very hungry.
The time he spent escaping from Konoha was actually very short.
It was only a few minutes.
But he had been through quite a few battles.
Kenshi, who had just emerged from the nutrient solution, had very little stamina to begin with. After a series of battles, he had also consumed a lot of Wood Release Chakra to recover from his physical injuries, consuming a lot of physical energy. Now, he urgently needed to replenish his food and recover his stamina.
Soon.
Kenshi suppressed his Chakra fluctuations and arrived outside the left wall of the brightly lit mansion in the town. There was a ninja squatting in the left corner inside the wall.
"There's a ninja!"
"It should be a chūnin."
Kenshi's lips curled into a slight smile. The reason he chose a more prosperous town wasn't just for a good meal.
It was because the wealthy families in a more prosperous town could afford to hire ninjas to guard their homes.
Kenshi's target was these ninjas guarding the homes, or to be precise, he had his eyes on their Chakra inside their bodies.
This escape from Konoha, Mito Uzumaki had given him a great gift.
"Mito Uzumaki's version of the Adamantine Binding Chains."
"This is a powerful sealing jutsu that can devour others' Chakra for its own use."
Kenshi smiled inwardly. With most of his acupoints destroyed, his Chakra reserves were limited. The reason he wasn't too panicked was because the Adamantine Binding Chains he had replicated and condensed from Mito Uzumaki could temporarily solve his lack of Chakra.
As long as he could devour others' Chakra.
He could replenish his depleted Chakra quickly.
Although it wouldn't solve the problem of his low Chakra reserves, it would at least be enough to replenish his current Gate of Death acupoint and dantian with Chakra.
"Two ninjas, one on the left, one on the right."
Besides the ninja in the left corner of the wall, there was another ninja on the opposite corner.
Kenshi's Chakra Sensing couldn't see their forehead protectors, so he didn't know if these two ninjas were from Konoha.
Based on the amount and strength of their Chakra, they were not as strong as the ANBU ninjas Kenshi had sensed.
He guessed that these two ninjas were probably chūnin-level, or even genin.
Whether they were chūnin or genin, with his current strength, in a sneak attack, there shouldn't be any accidents.
Kenshi, with a thought, automatically split half of his Chakra and condensed it into a shadow clone.
As long as he formed hand seals and released a shadow clone once, with Kenshi's Chakra control, he wouldn't need to form hand seals to use the Shadow Clone Technique again. He could simply do it with a thought, like now.
Soon, the shadow clone quietly arrived under the wall on the other side.
"Go!"
Kenshi and his shadow clone were connected through consciousness. Even without speaking, they could communicate through consciousness and synchronize their actions.
Kenshi and his shadow clone simultaneously stretched out their right hands, aiming at the ninjas inside the wall.
"Clang, clang!"
In an instant, two golden Chakra chains shot out from their palms, passing through the wall intangibly, piercing into the two ninjas' bodies. They sealed the Chakra inside the two ninjas' bodies while also binding their bodies, preventing them from moving or speaking.
The entire process was completed almost instantly.
The two guards didn't have time to react before they were controlled.
"Enemy!"
"Chakra..."
The moment the two ninjas realized they had been ambushed, they immediately felt their Chakra being devoured. Despair filled their eyes.
"So satisfying!"
Feeling the Chakra continuously flowing into his dantian and Gate of Death acupoint space, Kenshi's face showed an expression of enjoyment and pleasure.
The sealing jutsu patterns on Mito Uzumaki's Adamantine Binding Chains were somewhat similar to the Chakra-devouring sealing array Kenshi had seen in Danzo's underground base.
Perhaps that Chakra-devouring sealing array was Mito Uzumaki's handiwork.
With the help of the sealing jutsu patterns in the Adamantine Binding Chains, the devoured Chakra was pure energy, which could be consciously merged and controlled by Kenshi, becoming his Chakra.
This was very important.
A ninja's Chakra is a combination of mental energy and physical energy, naturally possessing a strong personal will mark.
Kenshi could consciously merge with his own Chakra, but he couldn't merge with the Chakra of others.
However, the sealing jutsu patterns on the Adamantine Binding Chains purified the devoured Chakra, eliminating the personal mental attributes within it, transforming it into pure Chakra energy.
This way, Kenshi could consciously merge with this devoured Chakra, turning it into his own Chakra.
"No wonder the Nine-Tails could only be bound and fixed inside Kushina!"
Feeling the devoured Chakra being perfectly merged and controlled by his consciousness, indistinguishable from the Chakra he had condensed himself, Kenshi couldn't help but sigh.
The Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Binding Chains were indeed powerful.
A Chakra life like the Nine-Tails, its Chakra inherently contained a powerful will, filled with the power of hatred.
Ordinary people who sealed the Nine-Tails wouldn't dare to use its Chakra, and they had to constantly resist the erosion of its will on their own will, lest they lose their autonomy.
Only the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Binding Chains were domineering enough to directly devour and eliminate the hatred and emotional will in the Nine-Tails' Chakra, turning its Chakra into their own, making the mighty Nine-Tails, the strongest Tailed Beast, into a Chakra battery for its jinchūriki.
"Poor Nine-Tails!"
"But don't worry, I'll release you. It's your reward for helping me stall Mito Uzumaki at a critical moment."
Kenshi thought to himself. Although the Nine-Tails was also doing it for himself, it had helped him after all. If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind letting the Nine-Tails escape.
What happens when a ninja loses all their Chakra?
The answer is, nothing much.
They just become exhausted, they won't die.
After a while, the Chakra inside the two guard ninjas was completely devoured by Kenshi. His dantian and Gate of Death acupoint were replenished with Chakra.
He sensed it. It was almost reaching the Chakra reserves of an ANBU jōnin.
It seemed that Kenshi had underestimated the enhancement of his flesh and blood after opening all his acupoints. His acupoint spaces and dantian space had expanded considerably.
This made Kenshi's Chakra reserves not as miserable as he had thought.
"Tap, tap!"
Kenshi flipped over the wall and arrived at the corner of the courtyard. A ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector was lying on the ground. His face, under the oil lamp light, was pale, his body weak. Seeing Kenshi arrive, fear filled his eyes.
The ninja was young, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
It was the Second Great Ninja War, yet he had received a cushy job guarding a noble's house. Either his strength was weak, or he had connections in Konoha.
Kenshi didn't bother to understand the ins and outs of this. He arrived in front of the young ninja, and with a thought, intangible Dark Walking Technique genjutsu Chakra entered the ninja's body.
"It really works."
Kenshi's lips curled into a slight smile. He had been curious before. Genjutsu is achieved by merging intangible genjutsu Chakra with the ninja's Chakra. As the genjutsu Chakra flows through the ninja's body, it affects their various senses, such as sight, taste, etc., making them fall into the genjutsu.
But what if it was someone without Chakra in their body? Could genjutsu Chakra make them fall into genjutsu?
The answer was yes!
And the effect was even more terrifying.
Kenshi had only used the Dark Walking Technique genjutsu Chakra to block vision. But now, after invading the Konoha ninja's body, which had no Chakra, he could control the ninja's mind, a form of mind control.
"Where's the kitchen?"
"In a room in the backyard. There's a sign that says 'kitchen' on the door."
The Konoha ninja, invaded by the Dark Walking Technique genjutsu Chakra, tremblingly raised his hand, pointing towards the backyard, and said in a trembling voice.
