Chapter – 323 Four-Symbol Seal Array

Tsukihi said, "It's not just a myth, the myths of Rikudo Sennin are true. And the Rinnegan that Tendo Pain has is also real."

Both Itachi and Shisui looked at each other with shocked expressions.

It should be noted that because being under two Genjutsu at the same time, Shinno doesn't have any ability to lie, as such Shisui turned towards Tsukihi and asked again, "Does Kuroto-san knows of all this information?"

Uchiha Tsukihi who was leaning on the wall with hands over her chest nodded gently.

If anyone other than the current members or former members of Akatsuki is aware of what Akatsuki is truly capable of then without a doubt it is Hyuga Kuroto for obvious reasons.

Their combined strength is more than enough to destroy entire Shinobi Villages like Konoha in a matter of a few hours.

In the original story, it was Nagato's foolishness that led to the death of most of the Akatsuki members.

And despite that, Akatsuki Organization still managed to collect seven of the nine Bijuu, and almost caught the Hachibi and Kyuubi as well.

They even manage to seal part of the Chakra of all the nine Bijuu inside the Gedo Mazo thus awakening Juubi.

Tendo Pain alone killed thousands of Konoha Shinobi, almost destroying Konohagakure, the strongest of the five great powers. If it weren't for Uzumaki Naruto's strongest Jutsu, that being Talk no Jutsu which made Nagato realize some things, prompting him to give up his life in exchange for bringing back those Konoha Shinobi he killed, including Hatake Kakashi, Konoha would have existed in name only.

So, it can be understood just how strong Akatsuki is.

Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito and his Pain Rikudo, Nagato and his Pain Rikudo, Kabuto and his Edo Tensei Army which included multiple former Kages, many of the deceased Akatsuki Shinobi as well as other Kage Class, and Elite Jonin Class Shinobi, Hundred Thousand Zetsu Army, Uchiha Sasuke, and his Team Taka, Orochimaru and his Otogakure, Uchiha Itachi, Konan, Kakuzu, Sasori, Biwa Juzo, Kisama, Hidan, Deidara… and most of all, the final boss… Otsutsuki Kaguya!

Akatsuki was nothing short of a mind-boggling organization filled with the freaks of this Shinobi world and could have easily erased the entire Shinobi World should their leaders work in the right manner.

At this time, Shisui asked again, "Kuroto-san is also aware of the Rinnegan?"

Uchiha Tsukihi who was leaning on the wall with hands over her chest said, "He is aware of the existence of the Rinnegan that the leader of Akatsuki has. And Shisui you must be aware of the Dojutsu that Kuroto-sama has, right?"

Shisui nodded, how can he ever forget those eyes?

Seeing Shisui nod, Tsukihi continued, "So, well those eyes are Tenseigan and they hold the potential to be on the same level as the Rinnegan. Tenseigan was a dojutsu that Otouto of Rikudo Sennin awakened. Precisely because Kuroto-sama has awakened Tenseigan, he understands the amount of danger a Rinnegan user can have on the world."

At this time, Itachi asked, "But how is Kuroto-san aware of all this?"

Tsukihi hurriedly said, "To be honest I am not entirely sure, maybe from Orochimaru, or from Uchiha Shinichi, or maybe from his own intelligence collection or perhaps from some other source, but that's not the point, the point is that the danger Akatsuki poses. This is exactly why he has never revealed the existence of his Tenseigan because he wants to stay in the dark and deal with the situation appropriately. So, Kuroto-sama wants this Aerial Fortress, Ancor Vantian to be the main base of Amatsukami.

The existence of Ancor Vantian is unknown to most, other than us three, Shinno and the Shinobi of the Land of Sky, as well as Kuroto-sama and Uchiha Shinichi, and perhaps Orochimaru but unlikely are the only people aware of its existence. Shinno would soon be dead, none of us are ever going to reveal such a thing, Orochimaru has betrayed Akatsuki so it is unlikely that he would want to incur the enmity of Amatsukami at the same time. And Uchiha Shinichi has given his words to not reveal its existence to anyone even in the Akatsuki. The Shinobi of the Land of Sky are either all dead or will be dead soon enough, so almost no one would be aware of where the base of Amatsukami is. Making it the perfect base."

There is one more variable that Tsukihi did not word out, Black Zetsu. Given what exactly Black Zetsu is, and for how long he has existed it is possible that he is aware of the existence of Ancor Vantian. But even if he is, he has no way to reveal that to Akatsuki, as that would be suspicious. So Tsukihi has to take that risk. And besides, even if Zetsu reveals the existence of Ancor Vantian, finding an Aerial Fortress in the sky over the entire Shinobi Continent would be next to impossible even for the Akatsuki, and the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Itachi thought about it, then nodded. While Shisui did the same.

At this time Itachi turned to Shinno and spoke, "There are a few more things I want to know about Tendo Pain, what are the specific powers of Rinnegan?"

After a long silence, Shinno didn't speak anything indicating that he is not aware.

Tendo Pain rarely takes the shots himself. Only the old members of Akatsuki like Kakuzu, Sasori, Biwa Juzo, and Orochimaru are probably the only ones aware of some of Tendo Pain's powers. So, even though Shinno was very interested in Rinnegan, he did not have any information about it. He has only ever met Pain three or four times face to face, as such he never even had the chance to explore Rinnegan.

So it is completely logical that is unaware of the abilities of Rinnegan.

Understanding that they can no longer obtain any other intelligence from Shinno, Itachi and Shisui sighed. They are of course aware of where the base of Akatsuki is, but even if they know what good does it do in the end?

Tsukihi shook her head, then said to Itachi, "Now that everything is clear, we have to hurry up. Itachi, you go out, clean up all our traces here and also make sure that no one has escaped. Our objective is to take away this Aerial Fortress without alerting anyone, so we can not leave any of our traces behind. Also, leave out a few Crow Summons outside to make sure that we are aware if anyone comes nearby."

Itachi did say that all the shinobi of the Land of Sky have been eliminated, but there is no harm in making sure.

It would take some time before they take the flight, so they have to be careful.

"Yes." – Itachi of course understood the situation, so he immediately nodded and left the power room.

Then Tsukihi said to Shisui, "Before we extract Moryo out of Shinno and seal him here, I need to rearrange the seals here and that will take some time. In the meantime, you take Shinno and check the layout of this Ancor Vantian, also make sure to see what all things have he stored here since I have placed a seal on Shinno restricting the use of Moryo's Chakra so there is no need to worry about him getting out of control."

Shisui nodded and left the power room with Shinno.

With Shisui and Itachi gone, Tsukihi now paid attention to the power room.

The space in the powder room is very-very large. It is enough to keep Moryo sealed here.

But to keep Moryo sealed here, an extremely powerful seal array needs to be designed, and the seal array must be foolproof.

"Let's use Four-Symbols Seal as the core!" – After a while of consideration, Tsukihi finally decided on Four-Symbols Seal.

Four-Symbols Seal is the best seal that is specifically designed to keep the Bijuu Class beings restrained, and if arranged correctly, it also grants the user ability to extract Chakra.

But a single Four-Symbols Seal wouldn't be able to keep Moryo restricted. It is one thing to seal a Bijuu class being inside oneself, and it is another matter altogether to seal a Bijuu Class being outside. To restrain the huge body of Moryo, an array of Four-Symbols seal must be designed to ensure safety. To make sure that Moryo doesn't break out even by overflowing the array with Chakra.

And isolation is also very important. Tsukihi does not want others to be able to sense Moryo's Chakra, so Chakra Isolation is also required.

With the plan formulated, Tsukihi started arranging the seal array.

After printing the hand seals, she immediately shouted, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof…

With a burst of white smoke, four Shadow Clones of Tsukihi appeared next to her. Counting herself, there were now five of them in the power room.

The Four-Symbol Seal Array to be arranged wouldn't be just simple stacking, but would rather be arranged in a definite shape. For this purpose, several Four-Symbol seals have to be activated at the same time, for that purpose, there is a need to use Shadow Clone.

With everything set, Tsukihi and her four Shadow Clone started arranging Four-Symbols Seal Array, and not long after, Tsukihi arranged a pentagram array with five hundred individual seals. Making the huge power room covered in the sealing symbols that gave off a fluorescent glow.

"Wheh…" – After the array was arranged, Tsukihi breathed, wiped off the imaginary sweat from the top of her mask, and then deactivated the four shadow Clones.

Arranging five hundred Four-Symbol Seals, and keeping all of them activated is a huge burden, even for her.

But it was all worth it as this array would perfectly restrain Moryo, the chakra extracted from Moryo would be more than enough for the functioning of Ancor Vantian, and there would also be no danger of him escaping here.
