Wind Style: Half-Moon Slash

"Haha! This is really a huge windfall! I only completed a trivial task to defeat Itachi Uchiha, and the system directly rewarded me with an A-rank no-seal Ninjutsu." Although Xuan Ye's expression didn't change, he was secretly delighted.

It was already time for school to end, and the ninja teacher had dismissed the students, letting them go home one by one. Xuan Ye had also left the Ninja Academy by this time.

Where could one go after leaving the Ninja Academy? The first choice would definitely be home, but Xuan Ye had no intention of going home at this moment. Instead, he ran all the way to a training ground in a remote mountain area where almost no one would go, wanting to test the power of the Wind Style Ninjutsu he had just acquired, Half-Moon Slash.

Since this training ground is located on the outskirts of Konoha Village, almost no one comes here to train and improve their skills. Furthermore, Xuan Ye doesn't want to reveal his true strength to others, so coming to this training ground to test his newly acquired techniques is the best option.

Xuan Ye ran into the training ground. At this moment, the vast training ground was empty, but it was not abandoned because no one came. It was still very clean, and the weeds on the ground were not tall.

Because tasks to clean this training ground are frequently issued, it remains as clean and fresh as other training grounds that are frequently visited.

"As expected, there's no one in this training ground. And since there's no one in this training ground, it's perfect for me to test my newly acquired Wind Style Ninjutsu, Half-Moon Slash." Xuan Ye couldn't help but smile when he thought about his new Ninjutsu, Half-Moon Slash.

After running to the center of the training ground, Xuan Ye turned around and found a large tree about five or six meters tall. Since there were many trees planted in the training ground, it was not difficult for Xuan Ye to find this tree.

Approaching it, Xuan Ye closed his eyes to calm his excited breathing and recalled the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash transmitted by the system in his mind. A minute later, he opened his eyes again, with faint glints of light flashing in them.

"Drink, Half-Moon Slash!"

The chakra within his body immediately began to circulate wildly, each strand of chakra controlled by Xuan Ye's mental power, running according to the chakra circulation method of the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash in his mind.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful force emerged from Xuan Ye's body, with countless wind elements surging out and creating strong gusts of wind around Xuan Ye.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the training ground, causing countless leaves to fall from the trees. The dust on the grass was also blown up by the strong wind, and even some weeds were uprooted and blown into the air, unable to fall.

Standing in the center of the training ground, Xuan Ye was constantly mobilizing the considerable amount of chakra within his body. Because Xuan Ye's physique was that of the Uzumaki Clan, he naturally possessed much more chakra than a normal ninja. With the addition of various factors, the amount of chakra within his body was even greater.

However, even with such a massive amount of chakra, Xuan Ye still had to use one-tenth of his total chakra to successfully unleash the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash, which was a reward from the system.

A blue crescent-shaped slash formed in front of Xuan Ye. This Half-Moon Slash possessed immense power, and one could feel its destructive force and powerful cutting ability.

"Call out!"

With a slight thought, the blue crescent-shaped slash flew out from in front of Xuan Ye, heading towards a large tree about ten meters away at an extremely fast speed.

He squinted his eyes to carefully sense the crescent-shaped slash that had just been unleashed. Suddenly, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xuan Ye's forehead, and he was deeply shocked.

"I really didn't expect that this was just an A-rank Ninjutsu, but its speed was so fast that even my eyes couldn't catch the trajectory of that Half-Moon Slash. Even after activating the Divine Eye, I could only see the trajectory of that Half-Moon Slash. It would probably be a bit difficult to dodge it."

At that moment, the Half-Moon Slash arrived in front of the giant tree and crashed into it without hesitation.

Suddenly, Xuan Ye's eyes widened as he stared intently at the large tree. The tree hadn't suffered any damage, yet the blue Half-Moon Slash had pierced through it. Logically, the tree shouldn't have remained undamaged.

But why does that big tree still stand there as if nothing happened, without making any other movement?

Xuan Ye lowered his head and began to think. After all, the rewards from the system were rarely useless, and now that such a result had occurred, he had to think about it carefully.

Just as Xuan Ye lowered his head to think, a loud noise suddenly came from the training ground.

"Boom!"

Xuan Ye hurriedly raised his head, wanting to see what had happened, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw that the big tree that had been pierced by the Xuan Ye -Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash had fallen to the ground.

And it wasn't just that the big tree fell to the ground at that moment; several other larger trees behind it also fell down.

Xuan Ye moved over to look at the trees. He found that the cut was perfectly intact. He reached out and touched it, and was surprised to find that the cut was even somewhat smooth.

Upon discovering these results, Xuan Ye was once again shocked. He stood there stunned for a few minutes before taking a deep breath to compose himself.

"Haha! I knew the rewards from the system were never junk. Just look at how neat and smooth the cut is; you can tell just how terrifying the power and cutting force of that Wind Style Ninjutsu, Half-Moon Slash, really are."

Xuan Ye's heart burned with excitement once more. The initial disappointment and confusion completely vanished, leaving only shock and ecstasy in his heart.

Only extremely powerful Ninjutsu could cause such a result on that tree, and it couldn't just have great power; it also needed to have extremely strong cutting force to achieve such a result.

After his initial euphoria, Xuan Ye calmed down and left the training ground, heading towards his home.

"Although this wind-attribute Ninjutsu has great power and cutting force, it also consumes a lot of chakra. Using it once consumes one-tenth of my total chakra, and using it ten times will deplete all my chakra."

"So you have to be careful with your chakra during battle and not use it whenever you want. Otherwise, if you use the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash without regard for your total chakra reserves, your chakra will be exhausted in no time, and in the end you will only be able to fight with your bare hands."
