This gave Yalin great convenience; hand seals could help ninjas convert chakra into specific ninjutsu, with quite obvious effects.
Of course, one cannot create ninjutsu simply by forming hand seals; one also needs a specific understanding of the nature and transformations of chakra in order to gradually attempt it and achieve the desired effect.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
After a long while, Gamamaru finally recovered and looked at Yalin in disbelief.
"That Otsutsuki actually entrusted you with even this power?"
This is an energy completely different from natural energy, and it is also the source of power for the Otsutsuki clan.
It seems that Yalin and Kaguya's relationship is closer than it imagined, which is a good thing.
"Otsutsuki? You mean Lady Kaguya?"
Yalin feigned confusion for a moment, then spoke in an unfriendly tone, "How dare you, a toad, address Lady Kaguya by her surname!"
Kaguya's ability allows her to control anything she desires, even if it means being physically harmless.
Of course, given her aloof nature, she would never do that.
Yalin said this simply out of habit and caution.
Praising the beautiful Kaguya-sama is always a good idea.
"Croak, the toad knows he was wrong."
Gamamaru immediately offered a smooth apology.
It came here on the advice of the matchmaker; if it were to fall out with this powerful figure, it would be doomed.
"Speak, what brings you here, you toad?" If you're trying to sow discord between him and Kaguya, then Yalin will have no choice but to beat you half to death and throw you out.
Unfortunately, on the road to saving the world, we don't need companions who can't see the situation clearly and only hold us back.
"I'm here to help you. Gamamaru is in cahoots with you," Gamamaru quickly said. He had underestimated the young daimyo's strength and could only swallow his anger for the moment.
There's no way around it; the situation is better than a toad's.
"Help me? Give me something specific."
Upon hearing this, Yalin asked bluntly.
"..."
Gamamaru fell silent, despite his vow to be a matchmaker. He knew absolutely nothing about love between humans.
After all, it's just a toad, and its reproductive methods are different from those of humans.
According to ancient human customs, if a man took a fancy to a woman, he would knock her unconscious with a stick and take her away.
Comparing Kaguya Otsutsuki's and Ayrin's strength, the toad felt that the woman was more likely to turn the man to ashes with a single punch.
In this situation, it has no other good ideas.
That was hasty. We should have used the memory stone to learn more about how humans develop love.
After a long pause, the toad said stiffly.
"I can help you devise strategies to pursue women. You're almost thirteen years old, don't you have a woman you like? For example, that Kaguya Otsutsuki."
It's useless in this regard; let's find a reason to stay first.
"Shut up, you wicked toad! Don't even think about bewitching people!"
A look of surprise flashed in Yalin's eyes, followed by a refusal without hesitation.
"I only have one sun in my heart. How could I have any improper thoughts about the sun? You are insulting my character."
If this is Gamamaru's true purpose, then its arrival is nothing but trouble.
Yalin's plan to win over Princess Kaguya is proceeding smoothly, and interference from this toad will only backfire.
Gamamaru was speechless for a moment. Even though it didn't understand people's hearts very well, it could still sense that the young man in front of it was not speaking sincerely.
This Yalin probably had improper thoughts all along, but he tried his best to hide them because of his status.
Sigh, human emotions are such a troublesome thing.
Unlike toads, which immediately pair up after taking a liking to each other, making it simple and straightforward.
"Toad, such treasonous thoughts must not be mentioned again. Now, let's talk about your incursion into the Daming Prefecture."
Yalin said, "Yo Qi Liao? (?> Three)!" He looked at the toad pill with a cold and unfriendly expression.
If he hadn't been able to sense emotions, he doesn't know how much longer he would have been followed by this toad.
This is a good reason to bring Mount Myōboku to the same side.
Sage Mode, the spherical memory stone, and Gamamaru's precognitive abilities are all extremely useful, and Yalin is prepared to take them all down in one fell swoop.
"Aren't you curious about the background of that Kaguya-sama? I really can help you fulfill your wish." Gamamaru shouted hurriedly as he watched the approaching figure and the sinister expression on the other's face.
"Your attempt to sow discord between me and Lady Kaguya adds another layer to your sins. If Lady Kaguya is willing to explain, she will naturally tell me; you need not waste your time."
Ready to be roasted frog?
Upon hearing this, Yalin's tone turned unfriendly, and his fist hardened.
This toad doesn't even understand the specifics, yet it dares to act as a love guru?
If we actually listen to its ideas, this planet is truly doomed.
"Calm down, don't be impulsive! Killing a toad is wrong."
After realizing he had said something wrong again, Gamamaru quickly begged for forgiveness.
"Stop yelling, a toad is so afraid of dying."
Just as Gamamaru thought he was going to die, Yalin suddenly stopped, his tone carrying a strange undertone.
"Wait, talking toad, are you from Mount Myōboku?"
The rumors about the three holy lands are indeed true; it is said that you possess ancient methods of cultivation. Teach me these methods, and I will forgive your transgression this time.
At this moment, Yalin revealed his true intentions.
Yalin is currently unable to sense the existence of natural energy, perhaps because he lacks talent in this area.
Of course, he was more inclined to believe that the Forest Kingdom was too close to the divine tree, and therefore its natural energy was extremely scarce, making it impossible to perceive.
Even the Sage of Six Paths only truly felt the energy of nature at Mount Myōboku.
"Quack, is that all? Wait, how did you know?"
Gamamaru's mind hadn't quite caught up, and he asked blankly.
There are very few practitioners of natural energy in this world.
The Onmyoji who are currently alive have only a superficial understanding of the basics, and cannot even be considered beginners.
As for the existence of the three holy lands, they are a closely guarded secret.
Yalin remained silent, then took out the Grim Reaper mask with his right hand and waved it at Gamamaru.
The Grim Reaper, sleeping inside the mask, turned over without being awakened.
"Death hasn't disappeared yet? That makes sense, this god is rather special."
Gamamaru automatically filled in the blanks in his mind, staring at the human in front of him in astonishment.
Yalin tossed the mask onto the stone table and said calmly, "I am very interested in your cultivation methods; perhaps they can make me stronger."
Gamamaru hesitated upon hearing this.
The toad found this young man's previous performance to be unfathomable. After all, despite its youth, defeating the nearby fire-breathing dragon was no problem for it.
Even so, he couldn't escape Yalin's teacup.
Even thousands of years ago, Yalin was a formidable powerhouse.
If he learns how to use natural energy, it's unimaginable how powerful he will become.
What kind of monster will emerge from the combination of the power of the Otsutsuki and natural energy? No one can be sure until they actually try it out.
If Ruyalin belongs to the side that protects the world, then naturally the stronger the better.
But if, after learning the truth, he chooses to stand on Kaguya Otsutsuki's side and destroy the world, then everything will be over.
"Yalin, are you willing to protect this world?"
After a long silence, Gamamaru asked a seemingly random question.
"That's a strange question. But why do you think I would want to end this chaotic era?"
Yalin looked at Gamamaru and gave a rare, serious explanation.
"I have no ill will towards this world, and I am willing to make it a better place."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths. Even this current training is ultimately an effort towards this goal.
Gamamaru felt somewhat relieved; it seemed that Yalin's stance was not problematic.
"I also sincerely hope that Lady Kaguya will like this world."
After Yalin added his words, Gamamaru's expression instantly fell.
I know you two have a good relationship, but your words are making the toad very nervous. If the other party wanted to destroy the world, would you continue to follow them?
Well, this might not be a bad thing.
Hamamamaru kept reassuring himself and trying to relax.
Having experienced great ups and downs, he possesses a detached and world-weary quality.
If it really came down to destroying the world, Kaguya Otsutsuki alone would have been enough; adding another Ayarhin wouldn't have made any difference.
Conversely, the closer the relationship between the two, the higher their chances of survival in this world.
"Quack, after you finish your chores, I'll take you to Mount Myōboku for training."
Finally, Gamamaru made up his mind.
This is extremely risky for it; if Yalin harbors malicious intentions, Mount Myoboku, which has been passed down for thousands of years, may be destroyed as a result.
However, Gamamaru also had a gambling streak and decided to go all in.
Even if I make a mistake, the worst that can happen is that I die before the rest of the world.
