Delaying time would not do Shuimu any good. Solving it as soon as possible would allow him to calmly deal with other problems. In the Sage Mode, the reduction in perception made Shuimu extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you ready, Neci?" Mizuki confirmed one last time. Although the Hyuga family's soft fist had extremely proficient control over chakra and human meridians, the energy in Mizuki's body was not ordinary chakra after all. It was a strange power mixed with fairy chakra, natural energy and other things. With Neji's strength, Mizuki was a little worried if he didn't confirm it again.

"No problem." Hyuga Neji replied. Hyuga Neji had extraordinary confidence in the soft fist that he had practiced since he was a child. Even when he was defeated, he never doubted the power of the soft fist. He only thought that his strength and efforts were not enough.

"Then let's get started. Pay attention..."

As he spoke, Shuimu began to suppress the power of the curse seal. It was appropriate to deal with it in a way that was easy first and then difficult. At least the curse seal itself had its own constraints, and the seal of sealing evil had been working with all its might. The effect of this was not only limited by the chakra of the person, but also mainly depended on the person's will. Previously, Shuimu had not imposed too many restrictions on it out of careful considerations from all aspects, but now, under Shuimu's special care, the power of the curse seal began to gradually fade.

However, the complex forces within the body are not so easy to sort out, and accidents still happen unfortunately.

"I knew it wouldn't be easy, but isn't this too much trouble?"

Shuimu no longer dared to fully believe in the various rules of this world. In front of chakra, all common sense and axioms were like a joke. Although Shuimu was prepared for the situation in his body, the actual situation was still quite tricky.

The fading of the curse seal was not only because the seal chakra was controlled by the evil seal, but also because the collective will of the summoned beasts that Shuimu had introduced to balance the imbalance of yin and yang in his body was directly torn apart and swallowed by the curse seal. As a result, the second active curse seal, in order to achieve a balance between yin and yang attributes, directly plundered one of the cornerstones of the sage mode - the yin attribute spirit body with the help of the evil seal.

As Mizuki was horrified, the curse was sealed and the Sage Mode collapsed immediately.

In such a predicament, Shuimu was helpless. Having lost a large part of his spiritual power, Shuimu's body chakra suddenly decreased by a large amount, and the natural energy in his body instantly took an overwhelming advantage.

"If this continues, will I turn into stone or become a lunatic who has lost his mind?"

The danger of direct contact with natural energy is self-evident. The consequences of failing to practice Toad Magic and Snake Magic are obvious: either death or a life worse than death.

At the critical moment, Shuimu could not care less. The last remaining chakra in the Breath Concealing Technique was desperately released. Shuimu used all his strength and used this last resort to try to earn a glimmer of life for himself.

The direct collision between the original chakra and the natural energy was not as intense as imagined. Instead, they entangled together to form a completely uncontrollable mixed energy. Since there was no balance between natural energy and chakra, and no fairy chakra was formed, it just raged in the body, making Mizuki's body a mess, and there was no way to control it.

"What should I do if I can't get out?"

Mizuki couldn't help but feel regretful. Maybe there was something wrong with his way of solving the problem. The order of dealing with the hidden dangers was wrong. He shouldn't have placed all his hopes on the two Genin. And more importantly, Mizuki greatly underestimated the influence of the Curse Seal. He thought that with the Sage Mode, he looked down on the semi-finished Sage Mode of the Curse Seal. But he ignored that this thing, which was highly expected by Orochimaru, was definitely not a defective Sage Mode. Just based on the impact of its two explosions, Mizuki looked at it with new eyes.

However, the curse seal is something that should be studied after Shuimu has enough energy, especially after the hidden danger of vitality is completely solved. Now, there is not much information and it is impossible to do too much research. Moreover, now is not a good time to consider this issue.

At the critical moment when Mizuki was extremely anxious, Neji, who was concentrating on the side, finally took action.

"Soft boxing technique - Bagua 128 Palms."

The sharp and heavy chakra instantly enveloped Mizuki's whole body. While Mizuki did not resist, the power of Hyuga Neji's soft fist hit Mizuki solidly.

"As expected of a secret technique passed down by word of mouth in the Hyuga family, it is indeed incredibly powerful. However, what is even more surprising is that Hyuga Neji was able to master this unique skill without a teacher. He is truly gifted."

First, relying on the soft fist - Bagua, Hyuga Neji quickly attacked the sixty-four acupuncture points on Mizuki's body. This acupuncture attack method quickly stagnates the release of energy in Mizuki's body, and the release of chakra is blocked. When it is impossible to form a combined force, the damage to Mizuki is slightly reduced. Then, the sixty-four palms are used again, and the speed of Hyuga Neji's punches is much higher than before. Taking advantage of the lack of power in Mizuki's body, 128 palms are used continuously, completely cutting off the flow of energy in Mizuki's body.

After using the gentle fist - Eight Trigrams Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms, Hyuga Neji was also very tired. Unlike other ordinary chakras, the chakra energy in Mizuki's body was too overbearing and too dangerous.

When dealing with ordinary ninjas and their chakra, the soft fist is like their natural enemy, directly posing the most direct threat to their roots. Attacking directly from the chakra is always one of the most difficult methods to deal with.

However, this time, Hyuga Neji felt helpless when facing Mizuki. His soft fist hitting Mizuki was like hitting a flexible steel plate, which made Hyuga Neji feel extremely uncomfortable. If he didn't use all his strength, it would be basically impossible to break through Mizuki's defense and hurt Mizuki. As a last resort, he used much more strength and energy than usual when using soft fist, and endured the extremely strong recoil force. Finally, before he could no longer hold on, he finally helped Mizuki temporarily limit the big hidden danger in his body.

"Captain Mizuki, this is all we can do." Hyuga Neji, panting, clenched his slightly trembling hands and said to Mizuki.

Shuimu, who had no time to care about anything else, nodded without saying anything, and continued to feel the trouble in his body.

"Does this count as a change from a death sentence to a suspended death sentence? This is really disappointing."

Hyuga Neji's gentle fist temporarily stopped the flow of energy in Mizuki's body, but this only pushed back the time of Mizuki's death a little.

During the Chunin Exam, Uzumaki Naruto was able to break through the acupuncture of Hyuga Neji with the chakra leaked by the Nine-Tails. It doesn't make sense that natural energy is so much worse than the chakra of the tailed beasts. Even if Uzumaki Naruto is the child of destiny, there won't be such a big difference. Maybe Hyuga Neji's strength has improved during this period, and he is more cautious in facing Mizuki, so the effect is much better, but there shouldn't be too much deviation. This time, Mizuki didn't expect the soft fist to completely solve the problem, but just hoped to give Mizuki a little more buffer time to deal with it properly.

At this time, Shuimu was extremely hoping that there would be a ninja who could absorb chakra around him. Shuimu was of ordinary talent and did not have outstanding physical fitness. If there was an incident of power runaway like today, it would be much more reliable to absorb the power in Shuimu's body than to rack his brains like now.

"Shuimu, how do you feel?" The worried Yamashiro Aoba looked at Shuimu standing still, with no intention of taking the next step, and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Do you need any help?"

"Help?" Shuimu's heart moved, as if he had thought of some problems.

"Yes, the two Genin can't help for the time being, but there's still me."

"You're right, I was wrong."

"I have a bias in my thinking. It seems that I have been overthinking. Other problems may be difficult to solve, but there is actually a solution to the current trouble."

Just like how Mizuki always fell into the vicious circle of weak thinking before, Mizuki, as a time traveler, essentially, can't trust anyone except his fiancée Chie Tsubaki. This is not just the behavior of Mizuki's predecessor, but also the alienation and fear of this world. Even with Hatake Kakashi and Yamashiro Aoba, who have a good relationship with him, Mizuki, who has many secrets, always doesn't want them to know too much about his own affairs at critical moments. When there is a problem, except for discussing it with his fiancée Chie Tsubaki, he mostly figures it out by himself and then bears it alone.

Just like this time, the trouble that Mizuki encountered was actually very typical. After solving the thing similar to the tailed beast coat outside the body, the curse seal was also sealed. The only trouble was the out-of-control Sage Mode. As long as there is enough ordinary chakra in the body, the current problem can be solved.

In Shuimu's original fixed thinking, because he was used to maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang attributes and natural energy in his body, he always tried his best to strengthen every bit of control. Adding Shukaku's chakra and the spirit of the summoned beasts was already a great concession. So he subconsciously rejected other people from interfering with him again, so as not to add more pressure to the Sage Mode.

But now the situation has completely changed. Shuimu doesn't need to think so much anymore. As long as he can have enough chakra to expel natural energy, it's fine. Of course, it's better if it's his own. What does it matter if it's not his own? Of course, other people's chakra will greatly affect his control ability, which is extremely detrimental to the Sage Mode. However, he doesn't need to maintain the Sage Mode now, so he doesn't need to worry so much.

Maybe the power in his body was too huge and exclusive before, but with the collapse of the Sage Mode, Mizuki's iron-clad defense has a huge flaw, just like Hyuga Neji, who can also use soft fists to temporarily limit the energy in Mizuki's body. If the Sage Mode is still there, how could this happen? With Hyuga Neji's level, it's good enough to be able to get close to Mizuki.

Moreover, now is a good opportunity. While the acupuncture points and meridians in the body are damaged and the flow of energy is restricted by acupuncture, the energy in the body is in a stable stage, which is perfect for others to help you.

Just then, a figure approached from afar.

"You seem to be in some trouble, do you need help?"

The one who came was Maki, the senior ninja from Sand Village who had left not long ago.

"It's you?" Yamashiro Aoba looked at Maki with dissatisfaction and said, "What's the matter? Captain Mizuki is not feeling well now and I can't treat you. Come back later."

"Wait, Qingye, don't get excited." Shuimu quickly stopped him, "After all, we are allies, and proper communication is what we should do."

Now that a strong jonin has arrived, he can help.

"Hmm? Okay..." Although he didn't know Mizuki's specific plan, Yamashiro Aoba still nodded in agreement.

"So, Mizuki Jonin, how can I help you?" Maki said politely. "You really helped a lot just now. Otherwise, if Shukaku got out of control, we wouldn't know what to do."

"You are too polite. As allies, we should fight side by side." Mizuki said, "However, there is a troublesome matter that needs the help of Maki Jonin."

Then, Shuimu turned to Yamashiro Aoba and said, "Aoba, come here too."

"good."

Maki and Yamashiro Aoba walked over as Mizuki requested, and then listened to Mizuki.

"Now I need you two to try your best to infuse your chakra into my body."

"Chakra?" Maki asked doubtfully, "Any other requests?"

"No, the quantity is enough, the properties are not important. Just make it even and smooth. Maki Jonin, you will transfer the chakra to the limbs, starting with the right hand."

The seal on his right hand was released first to prevent the power of the curse from recurring. Moreover, after his right hand was fully recovered, Shuimu would be able to do more things with the sealing technique available. He would no longer have to passively rely on others' help like he does now.

Then, Mizuki said to Yamashiro Aoba: "Aoba, you will transfer chakra to my internal organs."

It's better to leave the vital parts to your own people. With your friends here, Yamashiro Aoba, who is a special jonin, can even do delicate work like mind reading. There's no reason why anything unexpected would happen with such simple chakra control and transmission.

Although he didn't know what Mizuki's specific plan was, Mizuki, who rarely made mistakes, made Yamashiro Aoba very confident and he didn't ask any more questions.

Unexpected changes, sudden turn of events, and the help of two jonin. Although there would not be too much chakra after a big battle, the jonin's foundation gave Mizuki a lot more hope. As for other hidden dangers, they would be dealt with slowly when they returned. For Mizuki, time was the key to solving all problems.
