Planning a Kekkei Genkai

The next day, Yichen returned to the East Front Camp and reported his whereabouts to Kitsuchi.

Just as he was about to leave, Kitsuchi stopped him, wanting to discuss something with him.

"Yichen, your three disciples have all made rapid progress, especially Kawakita. Recently, when Purple Lightning has some free time, he occasionally gives him pointers. Now, the boy's strength has firmly reached the Chunin level."

"The other two also performed well. Tomoko has a high talent for ninjutsu and has already learned the six Wind Release Ninjutsu you taught her. She has simplified several of them. Although her actual combat ability is a bit lacking, this is a common problem for ninjutsu-type ninjas in the early stages. She can be considered to have reached the Chunin."

"Kajiyamari's performance was also quite good. This kid has a lot of tenacity and a sharp mind. He has already found a direction for developing ninjutsu. Although it will take a lot of time to develop this ninjutsu, as he develops it, his understanding of Water Release is getting deeper and deeper, and his strength is constantly increasing."

"Your three disciples are all at the Chunin level. Shouldn't you consider promoting them?"

Yichen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've only been training them for a little over a year, and in that time, I haven't really led them on any high-level missions. Wouldn't it be bad to promote them so hastily?"

Kitsuchi thought for a moment and said, "I've also considered that. The Third Shinobi War is about to break out, and the village will gradually lower the difficulty of promotion in order to prepare for the war. By their standards, it should be enough. You can choose to promote them first, and then let them perform more missions in three-person teams."

"It just so happens that things are getting increasingly turbulent around the camp. This will definitely provide them with plenty of opportunities to hone their skills."

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, let's get promoted first. By the way, with the promotion requirements relaxed, the rewards for promotion won't be small, right?"

Kitsuchi gave him a disgruntled look. "Of course it won't be less. The war has just begun, and the village isn't that poor yet."

Yichen knew that the village's relaxation of promotion quotas was aimed at younger ninjas, in order to give them more chances of survival in the early stages of the war.

The younger the genius, the more likely they are to get this opportunity. Apart from the freshmen who have just graduated, Yichen's three disciples are the youngest group.

Unlike the recent graduates, Kawakita and his comrades wouldn't receive preferential treatment or have their deployment to the battlefield delayed just because they had only graduated a year ago. This preferential treatment was only available to the newest batch of graduates.

As he pondered this, Yichen walked out of Kitsuchi's office and arrived at the place where his three disciples were cultivating.

The three disciples were delighted to see Yichen return and gathered around Yichen to share their recent progress.

"Teacher, Senior Purple Lightning said that I have fully mastered my C-rank Sword Technique and have also grasped the basics of B-rank Ninjutsu..."

"Teacher Yichen, I've learned all the Wind Release you taught me. I've even reduced my Wind Release: Breakthrough by 12 seals..."

"Teacher, I've found my own Water Release Ninjutsu, and I plan to..."

Listening to his three disciples chattering away, Yichen suddenly realized that he hadn't cared about them for a long time. When did it start?

It seems that ever since Kitsuchi and Purple Lightning arrived at the East Front Camp, I have been busy practicing combat and focusing solely on improving myself, training for a whole month at a time. Later, I returned to the village for more than ten days.

In total, it's been about forty or fifty days. For the past month and a half, I haven't checked on my three disciples' cultivation progress at all. I'm a rather incompetent teacher.

So Yichen calmed down and spent the whole day teaching the three children, carefully analyzing their current situation and offering his own suggestions.

After finishing, Yichen explained Kitsuchi's suggestion to promote them.

The three children cheered after hearing this; they hadn't expected to be promoted to Chunin so quickly.

After the three had finished celebrating, Yichen said, "But don't be too happy yet. You still have a month before you go back to take the Chunin Assessment. During this month, Captain Kurotsuchi will assign you many difficult missions. If you can't complete them, then give up on your hopes of promotion."

The three children were not discouraged at all; on the contrary, they were all highly motivated and couldn't wait to go out and carry out the mission.

Yichen's words were not meant to scare them. In fact, starting from the second day, Kitsuchi gave them a C-level or B-rank Mission every day to train them.

Because they were on the front lines, the tasks they performed took relatively little time.

However, these missions are all quite dangerous, such as killing ninjas who come to spy, searching for spies from other countries in nearby villages and towns, patrolling the border or Sea Rock Line, clearing out the increasing number of mountain bandits, and searching for wandering ninjas who have recently infiltrated the Land of Earth.

While none of the three are individually particularly strong among Chunin, their combined strength as a team is quite impressive, and they could easily handle one or two Chunin without much trouble.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Yichen stood in front of the three little ones, looking through their mission records. In that month, they had completed nine B-rank Mission and eleven C-rank mission. Apart from two missions that were not completed due to unforeseen circumstances, the rest were all successfully completed.

This surprised Yichen, who knew the three of them must have been working incredibly hard on their mission. After reading it, Yichen smiled and said, "You did very well. Get some rest for the night, and tomorrow I'll take you back to the village to participate in the Chunin promotion exam."

"Yay!!!" The three little ones shouted excitedly, and Kawakita even aggravated his arm injury because he used too much force. Yichen sight.

Over the past month, all three members sustained some injuries, with Kawakita, being the only melee ninja in the team, suffering the most injuries among them.

However, Yichen checked and found that none of them were seriously injured. There were Medical Ninja Medical Ninja the camp, and they had already treated the three disciples. They should recover almost completely after a night's sleep.

The next day, Yichen returned to Iwagakure with his three disciples. Because time was tight, the four of them marched towards the village in a forced march formation. It only took them three days to reach the village.

The scope of the village's promotion Chunin this time is not small, with several hundred Genin participating in the Genin.

According to information obtained by Yichen, there are approximately several dozen spots available for advancement.

With war approaching, the village's selection of Chunin will not be as troublesome as it was in the original Konoha story.

Because the requirements have been relaxed, this promotion will not Chunin facing a veteran Chunin like Yichen and his group did.

The selection rules are simple: several hundred people draw numbers, and then four rounds of competition are held randomly according to the numbers. Based on the results of the competition, the instructors select the ninjas who can be promoted.

And the Chief Examiner for this exam was none other than Ikura.

As the only ninja in the village besides Ōnoki to Wind Release: Breakthrough that barrier, Ikura's strength is certainly sufficient to make him the Chief Examiner.

The village appointed Ikura as the Chief Examiner in order to cultivate Ikura's prestige.

The day before the competition officially began, Yichen and his group returned to the village. Considering that the three disciples had been separated from their families for quite some time, Yichen immediately announced a holiday.

The three children cheered and then left.

Yichen didn't pay much attention to this promotion. As Elite Jonin who frequently interacted with high-ranking officials, Yichen was well aware of the village's thoughts.

As long as the three disciples don't perform too badly, even if they don't get promoted this time, they will be promoted smoothly once the war breaks out and the number of ninjas who are killed increases. The only difference is whether it's sooner or later.

This trip back to the village was like a holiday for Yichen.

Over the past month, Yichen's three disciples have been frantically completing missions, while Yichen himself has not been idle either.

During this period, Yichen officially began practicing Chakra Fusion.

According to the secret scriptures, Yichen began to try various practice methods.

The methods and steps recorded in the secret scriptures are very detailed.

The first step is to use the Clone Technique in conjunction with the main body to perform two different ninjutsu, forming Combination Ninjutsu.

The second step involves combining the two, allowing the two different Chakra to permeate each other outside the body, achieving the effect of Combination Ninjutsu at its source.

The third step is to release two different types of Chakra simultaneously with both hands.

These three steps are all preparatory work. If these three steps can be completed, the Chakra fusion can officially begin.

The first step was not difficult for Yichen. The only thing that needed to be solved was that, apart from Ninja World Wood Release, which was considered by most people to be a fusion of water and earth attributes, there was no other Kekkei Genkai in the Kekkei Genkai.

This left Yichen without a template to follow.

However, Yichen has one advantage: he doesn't care how much Kekkei Genkai can help his combat power; he only cares about learning the Kekkei Genkai itself.

After all, Yichen's goal is to elevate his Life level.

Therefore, Yichen didn't dwell too much on how effective the bloodline he developed was, and directly planned a bloodline with a relatively simple principle: Porcelain Release.

Yichen developed bloodline limits by referring to the methods of ceramic making, utilizing the principle of the fixed form of soil and the changes of water.

When the two are combined, the characteristic that Yichen bestows upon the Kekkei Genkai is: shaping.

Sculpting utilizes the changes in water to alter the shape, and the stability of the soil to maintain the shape.

With a clear direction, the first step in the preparation phase was to create Combination Ninjutsu: Water Release - Water Style: Water Wave + Earth Release - Rock-Scattering Jutsu.

This process only took Yichen two days. Yichen easily mastered this Combination Ninjutsu. At the time, as he watched the water mixed with a lot of rocks rushing forward, Yichen was still regretting why he hadn't thought of it before.

Compared to Water Style: Water Wave ninjutsu, which has a large range but low destructive power, the drawback of low power disappears if it contains a large number of small stones.

If the pebbles in the water can be controlled by the user and can be strategically distributed to a specific area, then Yichen felt that his ninjutsu level was about to be raised by one level.

Having achieved this, Yichen immediately persuaded Kitsuchi to have the ninjas in the camp learn this Combination Ninjutsu in a targeted manner.

They also experimented with Combination Ninjutsu: Water Style: Water Wave, Rock-Scattering Jutsu, and Lightning Conduction.

The effects are even more surprising: the Water Style: Water Wave has a relatively large coverage area, the Lightning Conduction can paralyze enemies, and the rock-breaking can accurately strike enemies enveloped by the water flow.

The combination of these three elements makes the ninjutsu so powerful that even Jonin high-ranking ninja) would not dare to underestimate it.
