Under Sara's guidance, Minato and his team arrived at the core area of the Dragon Vein.
This place was deep underground, with the Dragon Vein's core hub at its center.
Sara pointed at the hub and said, "The power of the Dragon Vein is hidden below."
Minato nodded and was about to step forward to perform the sealing technique when a thought suddenly surfaced in Obito's mind.
"Sensei Minato, wait."
Minato turned his head in confusion, looking at Obito.
Obito said, "Sensei Minato, don't you think the Dragon Vein is somewhat similar to a Tailed Beast?"
Minato pondered for a moment, "It is indeed similar. The Dragon Vein is also a form of chakra aggregation, with an immense energy source. And from the fact that Queen Sara can command the Dragon Vein, it seems to possess a certain form of life."
Obito thought for a moment and then said, "So in theory, Sensei Minato, since you can seal the Nine-Tails into a human body, you should also be able to seal the Dragon Vein into a human body, right?"
Minato was taken aback, then frowned, "Obito, you mean to create a Dragon Vein Jinchūriki? No, that's too dangerous!"
"Besides, my sealing technique isn't as advanced as the one Kushina uses. I'm not sure if I can even successfully seal a Tailed Beast. Even in the future you spoke of, when I sealed the Nine-Tails, I used the Reaper Death Seal."
"That technique, I am currently studying it, but I haven't fully mastered it yet. Perhaps I will in the coming years."
Obito was momentarily surprised but then said, "We can at least give it a try. After all, the Dragon Vein is different from the Nine-Tails, its power is relatively gentle."
"Moreover, Sensei Minato, power itself isn't inherently wrong. The problem lies in people. For example, was Senju Hashirama's power weaker than the Dragon Vein? But was he ever dangerous?"
"Similarly, the Nine-Tails, in Madara's hands, nearly destroyed the village. But in Naruto's hands, it saved the world. So, is the Nine-Tails dangerous or not?"
Minato couldn't find an immediate rebuttal and could only look at Obito, saying, "Alright, tell me what you're planning. I'll listen to your detailed thoughts before making a decision."
Obito turned to Sara and asked, "Sara, to some extent, you can make the Dragon Vein act according to your will, right?"
Sara nodded, "Yes, the Dragon Vein listens to me and my bloodline. Sometimes, I even feel a certain spiritual connection with it."
Obito said, "Sara, I can tell you something, soon, the Shinobi World War will break out, particularly between the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning, and the war will take place on this land."
"The world will fall into chaos. In such troubled times, without power, wouldn't it be difficult for you to protect your people?"
Sara trembled. She had heard of the conflict between the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning, and it was indeed a concerning matter.
During times of war, there would be a massive influx of refugees. Without ninja forces, it would be extremely difficult for Rōran to survive.
She raised her head, recalling the conversation between Minato and Obito just now, and asked, "So, you plan to seal the Dragon Vein into my body and turn me into this so-called Dragon Vein Jinchūriki?"
Obito replied, "Yes. The Dragon Vein may not have full consciousness, but it definitely has awareness."
"It listens to you and your bloodline. Maybe it considers you and your ancestors as its closest kin. If the Dragon Vein is sealed into your body, you might be able to become a perfect Jinchūriki."
Sara didn't fully understand everything, but she grasped one point, if she could control the Dragon Vein's power, she could change Rōran's fate.
Immediately, her eyes became firm, "Although I don't understand what a perfect Jinchūriki is, I am willing to try your method."
Obito looked at Minato, "Sensei Minato, that's my plan."
Minato stood to the side, somewhat stunned.
After carefully thinking through Obito's words, he realized that since the Dragon Vein already obeyed Sara's commands, sealing it wouldn't be as resistant as the Nine-Tails. So, it might be possible to use the Eight Trigrams Seal, just like how he would later seal Kurama inside Naruto.
He scratched his head, "Obito, Queen Sara is a good person. If it's her, this power will be used for protection. I'm willing to cooperate."
"But…", Minato's expression turned serious as he looked at Sara, "The chakra of the Dragon Vein is incredibly vast. I don't know if your body can withstand it. This could be extremely dangerous."
Sara had already made up her mind, "The Dragon Vein is a gift from my ancestors. If possible, I hope to continue using it for the benefit of my people."
Minato said, "Then come here and lie down. I'll try using the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal the Dragon Vein's chakra into your body."
Sara nodded and lay down in front of Minato.
At this moment, Obito leaned over and whispered to Minato, "Sensei Minato, the Dragon Vein can be used throughout all of Rōran, so it shouldn't be as difficult to split as the Nine-Tails. If possible, maybe you could seal it in gradually?"
Minato understood Obito's meaning, splitting the Dragon Vein's chakra first and sealing it bit by bit, reducing the risk significantly.
He chuckled, "That makes sense. I can do that with the Dragon Vein. Obito, step back. I'm about to begin."
Obito nodded and retreated.
Minato focused, carefully drawing out the Dragon Vein's chakra and guiding it toward Sara.
At first, the Dragon Vein's chakra showed some resistance, but the moment it touched Sara, it merged into her instantly.
Minato didn't even have to exert much effort.
He couldn't help but sigh, "This is going smoother than I expected. Sara, I'm going to introduce more chakra now. If you can't handle it, let me know immediately."
Sara closed her eyes, feeling the newfound warmth inside her body, and smiled, "It seems to like me. If there's any problem, I'll tell you."
Minato no longer hesitated and continued the process.
Like this, about half of the Dragon Vein's chakra was smoothly sealed into Sara's body.
At this moment, Sara finally reacted, "No more, I feel like I can't take any more. Although the Dragon Vein is willing, my body can't handle it."
Minato stopped and marveled, "To be able to accept half of the Dragon Vein's power is already incredible."
Then, Minato thought of Kushina, "Sara, I want to ask you, does the Dragon Vein show any signs of going berserk inside you?"
"Going berserk?", Sara looked confused, "No, I feel like it's very obedient. It's willing to lend me all its power, even to protect me."
"I'll show you," With that, Sara stood up, and a purple glow enveloped her body. The light wrapped around her completely, gradually forming a long purple robe.
Her entire presence exuded an aura of mystery and nobility.
Minato was astonished, 'Such… incredible power. It's completely different from how Mukade crudely used it. This is almost perfect control of the Dragon Vein's chakra.'
'This must be the chakra cloak that only a perfect Jinchūriki can achieve… But why, then, was Kushina…'
Obito was also contemplating this.
Suddenly, he thought of Naruto, the Naruto who, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, risked everything to save the Tailed Beasts and won their acknowledgment.
So, he asked Sara, "Sara, what is the Dragon Vein to you?"
Sara smiled, placed her hand over the seal on her abdomen, and showed a gentle expression, "The Dragon Vein has provided Rōran with an endless source of energy. It is our hope and guardian deity."
"Now, it is inside me. I can feel its innocent goodwill. I will not betray it. It sees me as the most important person in its life, and I will treat it as my companion."
Obito turned to Minato and sighed, "Sensei Minato, maybe this is the answer. Konoha has always either enslaved or feared the Nine-Tails."
"The Nine-Tails has never truly been treated well by the village. I think… the Tailed Beasts might be simpler than humans. If you are good to them, they will be good to you. If you treat them poorly, they will hate you."
