The enhancement system was in his hands. As long as he had enough Enhancement Points, he could enhance anything he wanted.
Mei Terumi said, "Then let me see what gives you the confidence to be so sure of yourself!"
"Then watch closely, Sis!"
Ye Liangnai smiled, then selected the C-rank ninjutsu among Mei Terumi's many skills—Water Release: Water Wall—and enhanced it!
"Water Wall Technique enhancement successful. This enhancement consumed 2,000 Enhancement Points!"
Ninjutsu: Water Wall Technique Enhanced Rank: B-rank Effects: Chakra consumption reduced by half; density and casting speed doubled Remaining Enhancements: 1
"Little Ye, are you done? Why haven't you started yet?" Mei Terumi could not help asking when Ye Liangnai had remained still for so long.
Ye Liangnai said, "It's already done. Sis, try your Water Wall Technique and see whether anything has changed!"
Mei Terumi was utterly bewildered when she heard that. It was done?
Hadn't they not even started yet? How was it already over?
She had not felt a thing, and it was finished? Was it really that miraculous?
Half-believing and half-doubting, she formed Hand Seals and cast Water Wall Technique. Her eyes immediately widened.
"This...!!!"
The casting process was so smooth and swift that she wondered whether she had cast a fake Water Wall Technique.
There was none of the slight stiffness she had felt before. It all flowed naturally, as though it had happened by itself.
"Hehe, Sis, don't be so quick to be surprised. Try out its power first!"
"If it only improved the casting speed, then all my effort persuading you would have been for nothing!"
Seeing Mei Terumi's astonishment, Ye Liangnai could not help but laugh.
"Right, right, we should test its power!" Mei Terumi immediately created a Water Clone upon hearing that.
The Water Clone cast Water Wall Technique, while the original body cast an offensive ninjutsu.
Then—
"My god, Little Ye, what did you do? Is this really still Water Wall Technique? This defense is way too strong!"
Mei Terumi watched as the Water Clone, which possessed only one-tenth of her original body's strength, steadily withstood the Water Dragon Bullet Technique cast by her original body. She could not help but gasp.
That defensive power was outrageous!
"It's only this powerful because you're the one using it, Sis. If I used it, it definitely wouldn't be!"
Ye Liangnai said with a grin, flattering her.
The power of a ninjutsu depended in part on its rank.
But it was also heavily related to the user's Chakra control precision and refinement purity.
Generally speaking, the stronger someone was, the higher their precision and purity ratings would be!
For the same ninjutsu, a person with higher precision and purity ratings could unleash greater power.
Just like how Madara Uchiha could make the mere B-rank ninjutsu Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame seem like an S-rank forbidden technique.
"Little Ye, is this your Kekkei Genkai ability? It can amplify the rank of ninjutsu?" Mei Terumi asked as she looked at Ye Liangnai.
That was the only possibility she could think of, since she had no concept of a "system."
"More or less. So, Sis, do you have confidence now?"
Ye Liangnai nodded. He thought it was fine for it to be classified as a Kekkei Genkai.
"I certainly do have confidence now, but you can't expose this ability too often!"
"You know the village is hostile toward Kekkei Genkai ninja!" Mei Terumi reminded him.
"Of course. I know what I'm doing." Ye Liangnai nodded.
"Then did your Kekkei Genkai also awaken after you took that fall?"
Mei Terumi suddenly thought of that and asked.
Ye Liangnai shrugged. "I don't know about that. After I took that fall, I somehow figured out this ability!"
"Still, given time, we siblings will definitely gain a voice that carries real weight because of this!"
Mei Terumi had no objection to Ye Liangnai's words.
Because it really could be done.
What she wanted was to grow into someone capable of standing against the council of elders and abolish Kirigakure's various unreasonable policies.
After all, the next step up was the position of Mizukage, but that seat would not be hers.
But what Ye Liangnai had in mind was making Mei Terumi the Mizukage—and ensuring she held that position securely.
And he, as the foremost person beneath the Mizukage, would revive Kirigakure alongside her!
The next day, at a training ground somewhere in Kirigakure.
"Ye Liangnai, you are hereby granted the codename Cold Light. Starting today, you are a member of the Anbu!"
Before Ye Liangnai stood an Anbu member wearing a patterned mask, codenamed Tian Jia!
Standing beside Ye Liangnai were two others, Harukaze Yuno and Natsuhana Rin—a man and a woman.
Ye Liangnai did not know them, but both possessed remarkably powerful auras.
The two were then granted the codenames Eagle and White Wolf.
The Anbu member said, "During your time in the Anbu, you will address one another solely by codenames and must not reveal any classified mission information!"
"If enemy pursuit causes a mission to fail, you must eliminate everyone who knows of the mission, including yourselves!"
"You have two days to learn Anbu information encryption techniques. In two days, you will officially begin carrying out missions. Understood?"
Ye Liangnai desperately wanted to complain about those cold, brutal rules. Wasn't this just destroying themselves?
Obito Uchiha's revenge, huh? He really is ruthless, slowly destroying one of the Five Great Ninja Villages through schemes like this!
But I won't let you keep running wild! It's time for Kirigakure to return to normal!
Ye Liangnai took the issued Anbu uniform and information encryption materials, then left.
When he returned home, before Ye Liangnai could begin studying encryption techniques, Mei Terumi, worried about his safety, taught him two more Water Release ninjutsu.
Water Spear Technique and Water Wall Technique!
According to Mei Terumi, having more skills never hurt.
"Sis, aren't you worried that I won't be able to learn all this within two days after giving me so much?"
Ye Liangnai teased as he looked at Mei Terumi.
Though he said that aloud, inwardly, he felt warm and content.
Being cared for by someone felt wonderful.
"I believe you can do it. If you ask why, it's because you're Ye Liangnai!"
Mei Terumi was not worried in the slightest. After teaching Ye Liangnai the ninjutsu, she left once again to carry out a mission.
All Ye Liangnai could do was shake his head helplessly at that.
His sister's care really left him at a loss.
It took Ye Liangnai only an hour to master both Water Wall Technique and Water Spear Technique.
Then, he began studying encryption techniques.
Learning those encryption techniques was far more difficult than learning Water Wall Technique, and it took Ye Liangnai a full two hours.
Of course, for an ordinary Chunin, completing all of this would take only two days.
There was no need to mention what he did with the remaining time—it was time to earn Enhancement Points.
To grow stronger, he still had to rely on the system.
A day later, at dusk!
Ye Liangnai had obtained a total of 30,000 Enhancement Points!
And the first thing he chose to enhance was one of his attributes: speed!
