Chapter 93.6- One Thousand Hands

So that is what I did. I connected the dots and figured it out. It took looking at the whole situation twice and then looking with my byakugan to see the way the seal interacted with my chakra to figure it out.

“Antibodies” I said in realization.

“Exactly. Remember that your earlier project for turning things to sludge and dissolving them?” She asked.

“Yeah, that never worked with humans”

“Did you ever stop to think why?”

“Because we have chakra”

“But it worked with nature just fine, and you and I know the nature has chakra of its own.”

“It didn’t work on humans because they had consciousness. Their chakra would resist the seal’s alteration and desire to imprint itself on them. Just like a body’s antibodies will fight a virus most of the time”

“If that’s the case, then it shouldn’t be possible for us to mark anyone with a seal at all. And I know I can do that for sure” I said, pushing back at her point.

“Indeed. Now watch this” She said, grabbing a hold go my wrist with her hand. I noticed her chakra surge, and then there was a seal forming along my arm.

“My point exactly.”

“Now, I want you to try this again but this time could you try to prevent me from placing the seal on you?”

“Like not let you touch me?” I asked, snatching my hand out of her grip. She gave me a deadpan look.

“Is that thing between your ears working even less than usual today? I mean prevent the seal, but of course let me touch you” She said, and even as she reached for my hand, I moved it to the other direction.

“Congratulations, you’re faster than the woman who popped out your father from her vagina before—“

“Enough enough. I’m sorry” I said, placing my hand back in her grasp before she could continue.

“Good.” She said, and thwn I felt hr chakra begin to invade but I just made the decision to not allow it, and to my shock, no seal appeared.

“When you aren’t paying attention, you only have passive defenses. When you are paying attention however, your defenses become much stronger. The only way for me to place a seal on you against your will would be for me to overpower your chakra with my own.”

“I see. So the seal itself is not strong enough to beat the passive defenses a shinobi would have”

“Exactly.” She said.

“So that’s a bust.”

“Well, we could try something else…” She said, and my eyes lit up like suns as she expelled what she had in mind.
